The next day Eda wakes up with a new found strenght, she'll talk to Serkan and she'll explain everything and hopefully, hopefully, everything's going to be alright.

She puts a smile on her face, gets out of bed and she goes straight to the shower.

She takes her time choosing what to wear, doing her make up and her hair and then she goes to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for everyone.

While she's in there preparing everyone's favourite, she hears a distant cry and a muffled sound and she runs towards it.

There, on her little bed, there's Kiraz still sleeping trashing her bed, crying...

"Baba, baba" she calls, "come back"

Eda's heart tightens at that view, how could she do this to her daughter? She was trying to protect her, but did she? Or did she hurt her even more?

"Kiraz" she says, caressing her face "Kiraz... it's okay, your dad is gonna be here soon. I promise"

She keeps caressing her daughter face and repeating those words to her 'till she's calmed down.

Serkan hasn't slept well, he spent most of his night thinking about Eda, Kiraz, their lost times and what should he do next. What is he supposed to do? How is he going to be introduced as Kiraz's dad when she already knows him and she doesn't like him one bit?

Will he and Eda be okay? He doesn't want to do this alone, he wants Eda to be there with him all along. That's what he always wanted from the start, from the first time he saw her in that auditorium even if it took him a while to even admit it to himself.

He's wandering around the house he's staying in in Sile when the doorbell rings.

"Melek" he says, surpised to find her at his door.

"Enişte!" she smiles "I mean, Serkan! I'm sorry to bother you, I was hoping we could talk for a couple minutes?"

He gestures for her to come inside and they go sit on the sofa in the living room.

"How are you Serkan? Everything's okay?" Melek asks.

Serkan smiles, Melo always worried about him. She always treated him like a brother, even when he hurted Eda.

"I'm fine Melo" he says, "Well, right now I'm not really okay " he murmurs...

"I mean, my health is okay. I keep doing the routine check, but they haven't found anything else in these years..." Melek smiles, relieved from that news "...but I guess my health isn't why you came here, right?" Serkan asks.

"I really am glad that you are okay, you know I always had a soft spot for you!" Melek says, making Serkan smile.

"Look" she says, seriously "I know Eda has told you about Kiraz and that being kept in the dark about something so big is awful, but please try to understand her okay?"

"You think she was right in keeping me away?" he asks, lowering his head

"I don't know if there is a right or a wrong way to act in this situation. You went through so many things and you both changed. You both did mistake"

"What should I do?" he asks earnestly

"Listen to her, let her tell you her side of her story and then do the same. Tell her everything Serkan. Every single thing you went through when you were together and in the last five years. Talk about everything, if you guys do that you can move on" Melek answers.

"What if I don't want to move on?" he says

"I didn't say you should move on from each other...you should move on from your past, your anger and your pain" Melek smiles, she's amazed by Eda and Serkan's love. She always was.
