What If!?

What If He Proposes?

I have been very busy lately. Swamped with work and chores and the in between. I don't think I slept well the past couple of weeks. Anyways, we finally got an update today. We'll focus on happy thoughts for now. We'll deal with heavy stuff on the next ones.

"the hardest part I've done was walk away, still madly in love with you."

==========================================================

After they told Aydan and Ayfer the truth about Serkan's memory and what happened with Selin and Deniz. They chose to stay in Serkan's apartment and left for Rome, Sunday night.

But before they leave Istanbul, Serkan made sure Selin and Deniz will never bother them again. He had people follow them. Made sure they're miles away from both him and Eda.

Selin went back to Slovenia said one of his source, while Deniz is still in Istanbul trying to land a job. He was good at his craft but he's a bad person. After the truth was revealed, some people leaked what happened and both Selin and Deniz are on the run from the public. Tabloids had posted their photos both on paper and online. People have recognized them. Serkan had tried helping them, but it was too late. The press already learned about the lies. They are now Istanbul's favorite duo.

Selin is lucky she had funds to leave the country. Deniz on the other hand doesn't. He's stuck in his coffee shop. From what they have heard from Melo, his closing his coffee shop for lack of customers.

Serkan's Office, Rome...

He had been working the last three days, finishing some plans on new projects. A ground breaking event is on the works in two weeks. The resort in Sile will start in a month and Eda, his beautiful Eda. Though Serkan didn't understand why Eda had to temporarily leave Art Life, he tries to stay mum about it. What matters now is that, he gets to come home to her every night.

It has been over a week of heaven. He picks her up from the university every Wednesday and Friday, take her to dinner on weekends and if they're not busy tour her around Rome. Just last weekend they decided to take the train to Milan. So far everything was great.

Serkan checked the time, packed his laptop and locked the office. He plans on surprising Eda with dinner. He needs to shop and be home before her class ends at four.

Eda decided to visit the library for a few minutes before heading home. Serkan texted her earlier about an online meeting with a client and he won't be able to pick her up. She got into the library and looked for the book she needed. She was reading into the pages when she heard someone walk behind her. She moved to the side for the person to pass and never looked. Few moments later she felt someone trying to hug her. She immediately smack the person on the head with the book and was about to run when she heard him call her name. "Eda!" she looked back and saw Serkan scratching the side of his head. "Serkan?" she walked towards him. "Why the hell would you do that?" she asked, caressing the area the book had in contact with. "I can't believe you hit me with a book." He winced. "Sorry, but why would you do that?" she kissed him on the cheek and hugged his torso.

"I just wanted to surprise you. I forgot you have this reflexes. I just remember you almost hit me with your slipper once." He chuckles at the thought.

Eda recalls that day perfectly. She was at home ironing the cases for the dowry when someone rang the doorbell. That was a few days before their supposed wedding. Eda gave a sad smile. They would've been married now if not for the accident.

"Why are you here? I thought you had a meeting?" Eda asked, kissing Serkan on the cheek. His arms circles around her waist.

"We finished early. I came here to pick you up." Their forehead touched and he reached to kiss the tip of her nose.

"Hmm... okay... I'm starving."

"Good. Come on, let's go home." He gave her a slight peck on the lips and they walked towards the exit holding hands.

"Where are you going to take me for dinner?" Eda asked as they got in the car.

"Let's go home first, I forgot something."

Serkan starts the car and drove out of the university parking. After a few minutes they were outside the apartment building. They held hands on the stairs, Serkan was nervous at this point. Eda looks at him. "Are you okay? You're sweating like crazy?" she stopped to check; walk a step higher so she can reach his forehead with her lips.

"You don't have a fever. Are you sure you're fine?"

"Yes Eda, come on, I just need a glass of water."

They finally got to their floor.

Serkan let Eda lead the way. His heart was pounding; beads of sweat forming on his forehead. Eda still holding his hand unlocks the door open and gasps when she saw all the flowers inside. Serkan made sure to make it right this time, the last time they were engaged, it was Eda that proposed to him, then he proposed to her in a bar he rented after they announced it to their friends. This time, she'll be swept of her feet. Hopefully. He thought.

He let her drag him inside the apartment, still in shock with the surprise. He squeezed her hand to get her attention. She turned to him and asked. "What's all this?"

"Eda, I know I have put you through a lot. I know you have all the right reasons to refuse me, but I know I love you, you and just you. That time after the accident, I may have forgotten about us, about you. But I know something inside me was missing. Just before I got my memory back, I was determined to follow you. I have told you before, if I was born a hundred times. Then I'll fall in love with you a hundred times. And I did. You effortlessly made me fall in love with you like crazy. If I didn't get my memory back, I would've still followed you here. I would've done anything just so you would be with me. I love you Eda Yildiz. It's you and me and no one else. Will you marry me?" he reaches for his back pocket and fished out the ring he bought her that time they pretended to be engaged. Eda nods and answered. "Yes, yes.. a million times yes." He slipped the ring into her finger and gave her a passionate kiss on the lips. Eda kissed him back and circles her arms around his shoulder, both catching their breath after. "I love you, my fairy girl."

"I love you, my robot."

"I prepared some dinner. You said earlier you were hungry." Serkan points at the table.

"Hmm.. Famished! Let's eat first." 

==============================================================

I don't like the thought of Selin getting pregnant, because with her level of maturity, she does't deserve a child in her life. be it Deniz' or not.  this is the last time both Deniz and Selin will be mentioned, because honestly speaking, they stress me out. just the thought of them in close proximity to both eda and serkan is annoying enough..

i hope you'll like this chapter, next chapter will be a bit on the heavy side.

PS thank you for your patience, i haven't been emotionally stable lately, so i never got the motivation to write.  

PPS, if you have any suggestion. i'll very much appreciate it.  

Again thanks a bunch. 

see you on the next one.
