"Serkan, what do you mean? Why do you think you are dead?"

"Because you are dead, Eda." Serkan said quietly and pointed to a gravestone in front of them, and Eda gasped in horror.

My love

"I couldn't even see you. They didn't let me by your side. I couldn't kiss you for the last time and say my goodbye." Serkan's eyes flashed with anger and hatred as his tone changed. "They said I have no right. That I'm not your family. That if I'm not your husband, I can't see you. That being engaged doesn't mean anything. They gave me your ring. I demanded to put it back on your finger because you never took it off since the day I gave it to you, but they said you will be cremated. How could they do that to you?! I fought with them. I sue the whole hospital. But it was too late. After that, they gave me your urn." Serkan's voice broke, and his body trembled in cries. He fell on his knees, hiding his face in his hands.

Eda knelt next to him and embraced him tight. He hid his face in her hair.

"Can you tell what happened to me?"

"You were in the car accident. They said you were instantly killed."

Eda touched her scar and the back of her head. Now she understood.

"Serkan, I'm not dead. You are not dead. I'm here. Please look at me."

Serkan looked at her with shock in his eyes.

"How?"

"I had an accident and hit my head. When I woke up, I was in Italy, locked in a room. I couldn't remember what had happened to me. I had a wound on my head. It was my grandmother. She took me away and kept me in her prison. They lied to you. That's why you couldn't see me."

"Are you real?"

"Yes, Serkan. I am." She said through tears, caressing his cheeks softly. He grabbed her face with both hands and kissed her hard. When they pulled back for air, he rested his forehead on hers.

"I should never believe them. I should look for you. Follow this wicked woman."

"Serkan, you didn't know."

"How did you escape?"

"She was killed in a car crash a couple of days ago. I got my passport back together with the inheritance and flew here the moment I could."

Serkan let out an angry laugh.

"Car crash? The irony." His eyes were flashing angrily. "I don't know if she suffered enough."

"Did you really want to kill yourself yesterday?" Eda asked, biting her lips not to cry.

"I almost did it. But at the last second, something told me not today, to wait another day. I was going to do that today. I went to Melo to say my last goodbye."

Eda let out her breath.

"I got my passport yesterday and booked the flight."

Serkan was looking at her in amazement. He stroked her cheeks and hair as if he was checking if she was real. "I can't believe you are really here with me."

"Serkan, there is one thing I have to tell you." Eda said quietly, and Serkan looked into her eyes, alarmed by her tone.

"I lost part of my memories."
