Plot: What if Eda's scholarship had not been canceled? Serkan Bolat is invited to the graduation of the 27 students who were granted the scholarship from his company. Among them the valedictorian stands out as 24 year-old Eda Yildiz walks proudly on stage. Fate knocks on their doors.

The day that Eda Yildiz had been waiting for so long was finally there. On this bright summer morning of July, she would get the landscaping architecture degree that she had worked so hard for. She would at last start her journey onto becoming the most renowned landscape architect of Turkey. She was finally going to make her family proud.

Eda got up from her bed with a bright smile. She headed downstairs and was happy to find her three best friends and her aunt waiting for her, already sat around a delicious-looking and smelling breakfast. She hugged them all excitedly as they took turns congratulating her and telling her how proud they were.

"We never doubted you would make it!" Fifi said.

"Nothing could get past you Dada!"

"You're sweet. But even I had doubts at some points. I got very lucky to get the scholarship."

"It wasn't luck kuzum. You worked really hard for it." Her aunt said.

"You're right."

"So just enjoy Eda," Ceren concluded, "because you deserve it."

"Evet!!" Eda exclaimed and they all laughed.

Once the breakfast done, she headed straight under the shower. She lavishly rubbed her whole body with her favorite soap, washed her luscious brown hair then got ready for the ceremony.

She chose a beautiful dark blue silky gown and did her hair in loose curls that cascaded down her bare back. She was this year's valedictorian and wanted to look her best to give the speech that she had prepared. Rumors had been doing rounds that a special guest was invited to the graduation but she didn't care much about it.

When the time came to leave for the university, Eda cast a last glance towards the picture of her model and mentor plastered on her wall. He was the man partly responsible for her success and motivation.

Serkan Bolat. The famous architect of one of the biggest architectural firm of Turkey: Art Life.

"I wish you could be there today. But thank you for your help. It got me where I am today. Partly at least," she added with a laugh. "This is for you."

She blew him a kiss then shook her head at her own silliness before going down the stairs where her own little fanclub was waiting for her.

"What were you doing? We're gonna be late! Hadi!"

Her aunt pushed her and the girls out before she could answer. They all headed towards Dayı, her old car that she loved so much despite its many engine problems. Eda hoped on the front meanwhile her aunt took the passenger seat and her friends the back ones.

She drove all the way to the parking lot without a hunch much to their relief. They got out hurriedly and headed straight to the main entrance where many students and their families were already gathering.

"I'm going to join my classmates. You should try and find seats outside."

"Tamam aşkım. Görüşürüz. Let's go girls."
