Locked in the memory

Chapter 26: Missing

Timeline: Two weeks after the last chapter.

Cihangir POV:

"Why doesn't anyone picks up my phone or tells me what has happened?" Hayat shouted as soon as she stepped out of the airport. She flew down to meet Melo, directly from Italy after Serkan and Asli's wedding. She was gone for two weeks and everyone was living normally. Well of course except random Murat's insecurity melt downs. Until last night. Murat's car met with an accident. He had us as his emergency numbers. How am I supposed to tell this to her? "Calm down! You will get to know everything. Just get in the car I am driving" I replied in a serious tone. Thankfully she didn't argue. I started driving towards the hospital. "Serkan is on his way back. Probably in the flight. He had to go to Australia. Tuval, Asli and Ipek were having a girls night countryside. The network coverage is not very strong there. Maybe that is why you aren't able to reach through them. They should be returning by tomorrow afternoon. I have no idea about Kerem. And as for Murat. He is the reason I called you to get back soon." I said as slowly as I could. I was pulling up in the hospital's driveway. "Why are we at the hospit........." Her breath hitched. "It's Murat. Isn't it?" she said as all the colour drained from her face and realization hit her. Without wasting a single minute, she dashed off towards the reception.

Hayat POV:

It was Murat. Something was wrong with him. That is why Cihangir drove me her. As soon as I realised this, I ran towards the reception. "Murat Sarsilmaz."I whispered. "This way Hayat. I know where he is" Cihangir dragged me before the lady at the reception could respond. He walked me to his private room. The doctor had just finished checking up on him. As he saw us, he said, "He's out of danger now. We've operated him. However he is still unconscious. He should gain conscious within 8 hours. If he doesn't, things might become worse." "Thank you so much Doctor." greeted Cihangir. I looked at him through the glass door. His head was bandaged and shoulder was in plaster.  I broke down. Cihangir gently helped me up. "I love him! I pretended I didn't when I came back here. I tried to play hard to get. But I want him. I want him Cihangir. I want him back in my life." I cried in his lap. "Shush Vita. Calm down. He's going to be fine." he patted my head. "Promise?" I asked. "Promise." He replied and added, "Go be with him." I went in his room and sat down by his bed. I intervened our fingers and placed my head just beside his hand. I have no idea when I fell asleep but I woke up when there was a slight hand movement. Murat was gaining back his consciousness. I rang the bell for doctors. The doctor along with nurses came and examined him. He was alright except for the fractured left shoulder. They advised him to rest and left the room. He was murmuring something, so I bent down to listen to him. "They took her."  was all he was repeating again and again. " Who her?" I tried asking him. "Asli" he managed to whisper. Ah Oh. We have problem. I pulled out my phone to call Cihangir, only for him to open the door and drag me out. 

"We have a problem." He said. "I was just about to tell you the same." I responded. "Ipek managed to get me. She said Asli is missing since last night. She went out because she wanted to walk. The girls wanted to accompany her but she refused. They fell asleep. When they woke up, they realised, she hadn't returned yet. They tried searching for her but in vain." He spilled the beans. " I was just about to tell you that. Murat gained consciousness. But all he has been saying is 'They took Asli'. Pull out the security footage of the car accident. We have to sort this out. And find her. Before Serkan returns" I said. Ughh. This doesn't look like a normal car accident. I have to be back in Hayat Tapeli mode.
