Previously:
Serkan smiled shyly and greeted her,
"Hi. Good morning. I am here to talk." He said sheepishly blushing. In his nervousness, all he was wishing was for Eda to accept it and invite him in.

"GET LOST.. JUST GET THE HELL AWAY FROM HERE. GET LOST!" The shout came startling Serkan.

Serkan stood shocked at the door listening to Melo shouting those words from behind. He could really not understand why would she say something like that? Hadn't they agreed that she would help him to get Eda back. Did she really change her mind in one night.

Melo came forward speaking,
"You have no right to be here Serkan bey. Just leave. Eda doesn't want to talk to you."

Serkan looked at her confused and contemplating what was happening.
"Melo.. I.. I just want to talk peacefully. Please!" He said looking at both Melo and Eda.

"No. Eda doesn't want to talk. I said LEAVE!" Melo shouted and Serkan was flabbergasted. What had happened? How did Melo change her mind so fast? He felt his heart breaking at the probable realisation that Melo had definitely lied to him about helping him. They all hated him and would not want him to be near Eda.

He extended his hand to give Eda the flowers and chocolates,
"Eda, I know they are not any kind of compensation, but I just wanted to get you your favourite chocolates and flowers. Here. I.. I will just leave." He said sadly, his head bowed down and a lone tear escaping his eye, making its way down his cheek.

"I.. I am here, staying... staying in London.. umm.. it you feel ready to talk, just give me a call.." he said about to turn around looking at Eda who was just openly crying now. He didn't mean to hurt her and he realised he had done just that. Just by seeing him, Eda had cried and he felt terrible. She was seven months and a half months pregnant, her belly protruding and she looked damn beautiful, Serkan thought.

"Look I know you don't even want to look at me right now.. I understand.. I don't even deserve to talk to you.. but I have a lot of things to say to you Eda. I wish we can talk." He said and Melo spoke from behind again.

"You are correct, Eda doesn't want to see you. You need to leave Serkan bey." Melo spoke and Serkan nodded.

The first two steps that Serkan took after turning back to leave ignited some sense in Eda.

"Haddiii. Git Serkan bey." Melo was shouting from behind intentionally!

She smiled when she finally saw the gears working in Eda's mind.

"No... stop.. Serkan... stop.. no. Don't go. Serkan!" Eda was the one to shout this time and Serkan turned around smiling.

He looked at Melo standing next to Eda who winked at him and then it clicked. This was Melo's plan. She had done that intentionally.

Melo knew Eda really needed a push and a realisation and she had just provided that. By forcing Serkan to leave, she had awakened a sense of fear in Eda's mind which didn't let Serkan leave. She just needed to make Eda realise that come what may, Eda would always be attached to Serkan.

Now all that was needed was for them to talk.

"Serkan.. why.. why are you here?" Eda asked sobbing and Melo took the basket of chocolates and flowers from her hand.
