Epic Love

Chapter 5

To reconcile or not to reconcile

Serkan parks the car before climbing out and walking around to open my door for me

"Thank you" I say sheepishly

"What am I going to do Eda? What if she doesn't forgive me?" he asks, furrowing his eyebrows

I chuckle to myself

"Are you kidding? Of course, she'll forgive you! You're her Eniste after all. Just give her time and reassurance, but I'm positive that she will forgive you" I give him a quick kiss on the lips and then pepper his face with small kisses. He throws his head back and laughs while wrapping his arms around me, I've never heard a more beautiful sound, I think his laugh just maybe my favourite sound

"I'm going inside now. I'll let Melo know that someone is here to see her okay? I won't say it's you just in case she says no and tries to ignore you"

"Okay, good" he says. I give him yet another kiss and make my way inside

I was leaning against my car when I saw the gate to the house open and Melek steps out. Her back was facing me so I knew that she hadn't seen me yet. When she finally turned around she instantly smiled, only it wasn't a genuine smile but a polite smile

"Mr Serkan" she says as she slowly walks down the steps. Mr Serkan? She's never called me that before, it seems like everyone's calling me either Mr Serkan or Mr Bolat today. It feels foreign "Melek" I say.

She looks at me with an unbothered expression, I sigh "Melek there was a reason why I came here and i-" but before I can finish my sentence she raises a single hand gesturing for me to stop. She looks me in the eyes and I swear I could see the pain in them

𝐌𝐄𝐋𝐎'𝐒 𝐏𝐎𝐕:

Eda told me that someone was here to see me. What she didn't say was that Serkan was that someone, all she said was to give him a chance. I stopped Serkan from finishing off his sentence because I already know what he's going to say. He's going to apologise and expect me to forgive him just like everyone else in the world does

"If it's because you want to apologise, then I don't want to hear it," I say and turn on my heels heading back towards the house. Upon hearing his voice I stop instantly

"Melek I'm sorry! I know that my memory loss hurt you just as much as it did Eda, but you've got to understand that it wasn't my fault"

I know it's not his fault but it was still hard to deal with the fact that he forgot about me "I know what happened wasn't your fault Serkan. Everyone was so quick to jump and ask Eda how she wasn't doing but didn't ask me how I was doing. I didn't say anything because I wasn't the one whose fiancè went missing on the day of their wedding or whose fiancè came back 2 months later and proposed to another woman" I say blinking back tears that threaten to fall. Serkan sighs and looks at me

"No Melek, but you did lose a brother"

𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐊𝐀𝐍'𝐒 𝐏𝐎𝐕:

Melek has always called me Eniste and I have always called her Melek. At first I just thought that it was a part of the 'fake engagement' game with Eda when we first met, only now do I realize how wrong I was. It's never been a game to her because she's not that type of person, she's genuine, kind-hearted and pure. She's never known this but she's always had a special in my (what used to be ice cold) heart (besides Eda) whenever I'd mess up or do something wrong she'd still see some good in me. I use to find her annoying sometimes because she was always so happy! There was never a time when she wasn't happy even if she wasn't happy and because she'd always choose to see the good in people especially me, I got scared! Because when people see good, they expect good and I didn't want to live up to anyone's expectations. She's kind, she's honest, she cares about people, she'd do anything for Eda but most importantly she is a ray of sunshine. If I'm being honest, I'm grateful to have met her and that she's in my life. I just hope that she can forgive me, if not now then hopefully shortly
