Edser In Love

All will be okay Pt. 1

Okay, so another one of my random ideas. So this was like a quick one that came to my mind when I recently binge watched season 2 again.

What if Eda misunderstood Hulya (Serkan's friend. That teacher) as his girlfriend and misunderstandings increase. And what if Eda was much more disturbed about all this than she showed. It's my way of making things right between them as they should have been according to me. Eda was a single mother for 5 years and Aidan literally had the nerve to start the custody case and Serkan took it all so lightly.

So this one is set around when they are fighting the custody case for Kiraz. Ayfer and Aidan are as usual being over dramatic and shitty people, interfering too much. This is not exactly how it goes in the show. A little deviation from the series.

TW: Mention of depression and anxiety. So read it at your own discretion. And I cried writing this one. 🥺

———————————
Eda was tired and stress and anxious. Aidan had started a custody case against Eda for Kiraz and Serkan's signatures were on it. That meant he knew about it and he was fighting for Kiraz's custody.
Eda was breaking down. She didn't want her daughter to go through all this. When she had told Serkan about being Kiraz's father, she had hoped they would somehow be the family Kiraz always craved for. But she was wrong.

First Serkan had literally shouted an "I hate you Eda for doing this. For hiding my daughter from me" at her and crushed all her hope. And then secondly, he didn't even want to be a father even after knowing he had a daughter. And then one fine day he was walking into her birthday party. She was happy Kiraz had found love in her father. She had seen how much Serkan loved Kiraz from that day itself. But she had seen how it wasn't the same for her anymore. He didn't love her anymore. Maybe he had stopped loving her 5 years ago but now, now he literally hated her. That's what Eda thought. Because now he didn't really talk to Eda since she told him about Kiraz. She had heard "I hate you" from him 2-3 times in last few days. He was angry at her and he would only talk to her only when Kiraz was around or when it was of utmost importance.

Eda was close to breaking down. She was fearing what if they took her child away from her. Aidan was known to hate Eda and she could manipulate for getting things her way. And now even Serkan was against her. She was scared. And she was also scared because she knew when Kiraz got older and when she would understand that her mother hid her from her father for 5 years, she would hate her too.

Maybe they were right in hating her, she actually committed a blunder. Nobody understood why she did what she did and even Serkan didn't this time. Serkan was disappointed, hurt and angry with her and hence he was not talking to her a lot. And she was hurt, heartbroken and insecure because 2 days ago when she went to drop Kiraz at Serkan's, she had seen him sitting in his house having coffee with some woman. She had never seen her before but she seemed close to Serkan. Eda who was already suffering so much emotionally misunderstood the whole situation thinking Hulya was Serkan's girlfriend and left without meeting both of them. Later that evening, when Kiraz came back, she was singing all praises about Hulya and Eda literally thought she was Serkan's girlfriend.

Today Eda had gone to spend the day with Serkan as Kiraz was stubborn about it and she had agreed when Serkan asked her to come along with Kiraz and spend the day with him. She was happy maybe they could sort out their differences and maybe Serkan would talk to her.

As she entered the porch of his house, she again saw Hulya sitting with him patting his hand and she heard him speak.
"Don't worry Serkan. Everything will be okay."
"Hulya, thank you for being here. Can you always  guide me how to give Kiraz the best upbringing? You are the best person to ask this." Serkan said smiling and Eda's eyes filled with tears. Whatever she heard from Kiraz about Hulya was that she was a good and caring woman and now Serkan's words just added to her misunderstanding. She turned around to leave to not disturb them.
