2 Years later
-Anneeeee. Deniz threw his teddy bear again at me.
Mavi picked up the teddy bear from the ground and she gently put it back in her brother arms.
-I am your elder sister, try to show some respect, kardeşim...
She said with a smile. And then again she screamed
-Anneeee can you come here please?
Ayça was in the bathroom, putting her make up on and she sighed.
-Mavi I am in the bathroom, hadi call your father, I am busy.
-Daddy left, gitti, he is not here.
Ayça stopped for a minute; when did Alp leave exactly? They were supposed to watch the awards ceremony all together on tv that evening.
She quickly put mascara on her eyelashes, brushed her hair and puts her black satined robe on.
Life with one child had been manageable but life with two kids was stressful. Luckily Mavi was mature enough to look after her little brother, but she was still a seven-year-old girl.
She ran into the living room when she heard the baby crying but when she picked him up he calmed down immediately.
Deniz.
Their second child, a beautiful one-year old little boy who had his father's green eyes and his mother's lips.
-Mommy I am hungry. Can we have dinner?
Ayça put the baby back on the high chair and gave him his favorite teddy bear which he never separated from.
-Yes Mavi, as soon as dad comes back.
I'm going to make you a snack, take care of your brother in the meantime, Tamam?
Ayça headed for the kitchen and as she poured some chips into a bowl, she paused to look out the window. It was a beautiful winter evening, the end of the year was near and their garden was decorated with lots of white lights on the trees and lanterns that illuminated the path. They had managed to make all their dreams come true in the past two years.
A second child, a wedding, a new home, a movie together.
She was so deep in her happy thoughts that she didn't even realize Alp had come back home. When she felt his strong arms wrapping around her from behind she gasped and smiled lightly.
-You smell so good.
He whispered in her ear and he kissed her neck making her shiver.
-Where have you been?
Alp step back and took a big bouquet of red roses from the table.
-I went out to buy you flowers
He said with a smile that melted her to her bones. Years went by but he was still so incredibly handsome and charming.
-Do you need to make it up to me? Or are you trying to bribe me?
She asked looking at him with her innate sensuality that even after nine years succeeded to turn him on.
-I choose the second option, I guess...
-Anneee, babaaa gel! you are on TV!
They rushed to the living room, Alp took Deniz from the highchair and he sat on the sofa putting him on his lap, Mavi and Ayça joined them in front of the tv.
Some highlights of the film in which they were both protagonists ran across the screen. Then there was the audience in the stalls cheering and the presenter of the ceremony speaking on stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's move on to the best actress category; how much did we love "Sah Mah"? A film sold internationally, a true masterpiece, a work that smashed box office records and introduced the world to the sophisticated beauty of our city.
The prize will be awarded by our dear Detektif Komiser Dinçer in person! Hoş geldin Alp Bey! "
Alp walked down the aisle of the theater and took the stage. The presenter handed him the microphone and he took the podium to speak. -thank you all for the applause. Tonight I have the honor of awarding the best actress of all Turkey, and I am actually much more excited than she is.
Two years ago we were in the living room of our old house when I asked her to join me in this adventure and I feared she would say no, but luckily I managed to convince her.
The woman I'm going to reward has the gift of making whatever she does a masterpiece: just look at our two children to prove me right.
The whole audience laughed and applauded his words.
-And the award goes to...my beautiful wife Ayça ATN.
Everyone in attendance turned to admire her stunning beauty as she walked towards the stage. The passing of the years had had no effect on her other than to make her even more beautiful and fascinating. The two pregnancies had modified her slim body a little, making her curves slightly softer, making her even more feminine. Alp approached her to hold out her hand and help her climb the three steps to the stage.
You could only hear the applause of the people who cheered her with joy and admiration.
It had been very exciting for them to attend that ceremony the week before and it was equally exciting to watch it on TV now with their children.
Alp looked at her, sitting on the sofa holding her daughter in her arms. There were tears of emotions in her eyes.
Her beauty was out of this world, she could mesmerise him just looking at him with her ocean blue eyes.
His wife.
He would have chosen her a thousand times, he would have fallen in love with her in any life they met.
He thought back to the first time he had seen her at a party twelve years earlier, and how he was bewitched by her beauty; at that time he didn't know yet how much that woman would have made him happy, how she would complete him in everything and would have given him immense joy and pure delight...and such a wonderful family.
Ayça looked up when she noticed that he was staring at her and smiled at him, blinking her eyes.
Alp knew perfectly well what it meant when she squinted her eyes at him. They had always spoken through their eyes, they had created their own language the first time they had worked together in Sigacik, in order to understand each other in front of others even if they could not speak openly.
Holding Deniz firmly with one hand, he reached out with his other hand to gently caress the soft skin of her face.
-I love you too. - He whispered.
Then he got lost in her eyes again.
The end.
