Ferit was sitting in his car, looking at Ceren's window. Ferit kept looking at the time. He took a glance and patiently kept tapping the steering wheel. And then suddenly the front door opened and there she was. Dressed in a white tank top and denim jacket with a beanie. Ferit smirked looking at her.
Ceren: Am I looking okay? I thought I'll keep it casual given the time you choose!
Ferit came close to her face and kissed her forehead.
Ferit: you look awesome no matter what. Now shall we? I don't want to be late.
Ceren: you never told me where we are going.
Ferit: You'll find out soon enough.

Its four in the morning when Ferit and Ceren left; and on the Other side of the city, Serkan and Eda were peacefully sleeping in each other's arms. Eda woke up with a sudden thirst and took a glass of water. She started to get a hiccup which woke up Serkan too.
Serkan: Eda, are you okay?
Eda: Oh it's nothing go back to sleep. I just felt thirsty. HUH!!!!
Serkan: Eda! What happened?!
Eda: Serkan! Serkan!!
Serkan: what is it? You scaring me! Are you okay?
Eda took Serkan's hand and placed it on her belly. He stared at Eda and asked
Serkan: Eda! Noldu? What is it? Tell me.
Eda: Shh!! Just be quiet for a sec!
Serkan: Eda I don't understanddddd!!! What was that????
Serkan's eyes widen and Eda stared at him in amazement
Eda: The babies..... one of them kicked!!
Serkan: I... I... I can't believe it. Is this for real? you felt that too right?
Eda made a stern face.
Eda: of course I felt it. They are inside me. Oh, another one! You felt it?!
Serkan nodded and kissed Eda's hand.
Serkan: it's so amazing how life grows Inside you. It's such a miracle.
Eda: mmhmm! Serkan I am hungry but don't want to eat.
Serkan: I'll get you a glass of warm milk. Tamam?
Eda nodded. Serkan went and brought a glass of milk. While Eda slowly sipped the milk, Serkan softly rubbed her belly.
Eda: what is it?
Serkan: I don't know. I never thought I would feel this way.
Eda: how?
Serkan: I never thought I would have a family. I was only close to my brother. With mum and dad, it was more of a formality. Dad was never around most of the time and I thought I would never have a family cause I can't do this to someone. Like what my dad was doing to us. I would look at other kids coming with their dad and I would be alone or my brother would show up. And after my brother's death, I just lost all hope. Mom was a mess too. I just took the responsibility of being there. But I never get connected with my dad.
Eda: Serkan don't be hard on yourself. It was thing of the past. What happened happened.
Serkan was on his knees and kissed Eda's belly.
Serkan: I promise you I'll be the best father in the world. You'll never miss a moment in life because of me. I'll applaud every achievement big or small of yours. I'll try to be the best version of myself. My son will be a man who will respect women and treat them rightfully. My daughter will be the strongest girl ever. She will lead the way for other women. Eda I promise you I'll try my level best to make them two amazing and thoughtful human beings.
Eda: Serkan, you don't have to tell me. I know who you are. You have a heart of gold. I am sure our twins will have the best father in the world.
Serkan smiled and kissed Eda's lips softly.
Serkan: you are my last piece of the puzzle Eda. You complete me. No matter what, never leave me, Eda. Promise?
Eda kissed him back and said "promise". They hugged each other once again and Serkan said a prayer of thankfulness in his heart; before going to sleep again. 

Peril woke up and searched her bedside, only to find that engin wasn't there. She got up and checked the bathroom. But he wasn't there either. She was on her way downstairs when she heard engin's voice
Engin: Listen, bro! You must understand this is my last chance. If I don't give them what they want they will get personal ... I don't care what they do to me but I can't let anything happen to peril.
Peril thought to herself that she should intervene but stepped back. She waited for engin to finish the call.
Engin: tamam! Tamam! Bro just this last time. Yes, I have the papers. Don't worry. Just one last time. Tessukular! Iyi gecelar! Sagöl!
Peril gathered her strength to walk towards engin, who had made another drink for himself.
Peril: Askim! Iyi misin? Is everything okay?
Engin: peril! Why did you wake up?
Peril: oh I couldn't find you in the bedroom and so I started looking for you.
Engin: oh yeah! I had to take an important call.
Peril: engin you look very stressed. Is everything okay?
Engin: oh no no, I am fine. Don't worry. It's all good. You know how these American clients can be. Plus it's the time zones.
Peril: tamam! O zaman let's go to bed. Hadi!
Engin:  aaaaa why don't you go to bed. I'll finish the drink and come up. Okay ?!
Peril: tamam!
She went back to bed half-heartedly knowing Engin was hiding something from her. This was the same reason they had a fight in the first place. Although therapy had helped them initially, but engin's secrecy was something that was intimidating peril.
While peril laid in bed waiting for Engin to come, he had picked up the bottle and was laying on the sofa, where he eventually fell asleep.

Ferit stopped his car in front of the woods. Ceren looked confused
Ceren: Ferit where are we? And what's going on?
Ferit: it's your surprise! But ... you have to work for it.
Ceren: then it's not a surprise it's overtime. Especially at this time of the night. It's almost five. Ferit if you are trying to ruin my Sunday then congratulations you have successfully done that.
Ferit giggled and this made Ceren even more confused.
Ferit: come on! Let's go.
They walked in the woods for five minutes and reached a point where Ferit picked up a red yarn stuck on a tree trunk. He looked at Ceren and gave it to her.
Ferit: I want you to close your eyes and count till twenty. Tamam? And then follow the trail of this red yarn.
Ceren: Ferit I don't know what you are trying to do. it's dark and I don't like this idea.
Ferit came near Ceren and took her face in his hands
Ferit: ceren! TRUST ME?
Ceren nodded and Ferit kissed her lips passionately.
Ferit: now close your eyes and count. I'll be waiting.
Ceren kept her eye closed and counted to twenty. She opens her eyes and felt a bit scared in the woods. The silence was deafening and she felt scared alone. She focused on the yarn and started following it. A few moments into walking the yarn led to a bag with a note on it
ITS COFFEE! GET WARM.
Ceren smiled and drank a cup of coffee. She noticed a yellow yarn and understood that it was her next trial. She followed the trial to find a pink box. She opens the box and couldn't stop smiling. SHOES!! She thought to herself and found another note.
THESE ARE THE LUCKIEST SHOES IN THE WORLD. 'CAUSE THEY WILL BE ON YOUR FEET.
Ceren picked up her box and as expected there was another yarn. This time it was purple. Following the yarn, she noticed that she had entered a bed of yellow daisies. The yarn led up to a bouquet of red roses. Ceren was filled with awe and smelled them. Another note
NOTHING TO SAY HERE JUST FOLLOW THE BLUE YARN.
Ceren followed and found one more box. It was chocolates. It wasn't any chocolate. It was her favourite Belgian dark chocolate.
Ceren was giggled and ate one piece of chocolate. She saw a green yarn this time. Ceren was talking to herself.
Ceren: vay vay! Ferit bey! You had it all covered coffee, shoes, flowers, chocolate. Now all that was left is cham............
Ceren went speechless. She couldn't believe the site she was seeing. The yarn had led her to a small cosy bonfire by a small cosy tent. She took a few more steps to find Ferit standing by the fire with two glasses and a bottle of champagne.
Ferit came towards her and took the boxes from her. Keeping them aside she held Ceren's hand and took her to the bonfire. It's was chilly and warm at the same time. Ceren felt so moved
Ceren: Ferit, this is beautiful. I had no idea you planned all this. You definitely took me by surprise.
Ferit: did you like it? I was so nervous. It isn't lavish you know.
Ceren: it's perfect. I am really impressed.
Ferit: but it isn't over yet.
Ceren was confused and Ferit went and played a song on his blue tooth speaker. He turned towards Ceren and stretched his hand out
Ferit: May I have this dance?
Ceren smiled and took Ferit's hand. They danced slowly as if they were surrounded by stars. Not a soul in sight they felt that it was just them and the universe. Ceren hugged Ferit while dancing and Ferit caressed her hair.
He then took Ceren to the edge of the woods where they could see the Istanbul bridge with its iconic lights. Ceren took in the view when Ferit said
Ferit: ceren, when I first met you we were two different people. I changed to be a better man and you only became the most awesome women. A woman I always wanted in my life. You are intelligent, smart and she has the most beautiful eyes ever. When I look into your eyes I can see a bright future for both of us. I always wondered what was love to people. I never thought I would find love at ArtLife. I guess I found true love in the most hopeless place.
Ceren giggled as he continued
Ferit: Ceren, living with you is like living a dream that has no end. One I would never want to wake up from. So, I now ask you the most difficult question in my life. WILL YOU MARRY ME AND MAKE ME THE LUCKIEST MAN ON EARTH?
Ceren stared at Ferit as he took out a box of a diamond ring from his pocket. She was crying, her eyes were filled with love and tears at the same time. She said YES and Ferit slid the ring in her fragile finger. They looked at each other and kissed each other. Ferit hugged Ceren as if to never let go. He kissed one more time and said
Ceren: Ferit all this seems so magical. But why did you choose this time? We could have done this in the evening.

Ferit: We could have, but then I wouldn't have been able to gift you this. From today onwards we will spend our lives together. No matter what happens we will be always by each other's side. Ceren with this ring I gift you the first sunrise of our lives together.
He turned Ceren and she was awestruck by the beaming sunlight that spread across the grey sky. As if the sun had shone up just for them.
Ceren: I love you Ferit!
Ferit: I love you too Ceren!
