I hope my use of a few turkish words don't need translation, I know some writers chose exclusively English, I feel like turkish touches make the characters more authentic to themselves. Let me know if it's a problem!

Might seems like a filler chapter, but meaningful developpement i wanted to explote between EdSer. Happy reading.

......

Serkan rang the bell again and again, no one anwsered. He went to the back of the house, the side door was often unlocked. He walked in.

"Eda ?" He called out. The entire house was dark.

"Eda are you here ?" Serkan called out, checking the downstairs living room then the kitchen. And made his way upstairs, calling for Eda.

He walked up to the third floor, to her room, and inhaled sharply. This was the epitome sanctuary of her soul. He almost felt like violating her space as he walked in, to find it empty.

His eyes fell on a picture on the desk.

Serkan inhaled painfully, picking it up and reading the date. It was taken just a month after Kiraz's birth. His eyes filled up, he had missed out so much. Eda had nurtured their child since so long, ofcourse her pain right now was unmatchable. He worried, where was she ?

He dialled her number again but had no anwser. He sighed and looked down and noticed an enveloppe by the picture, he picked it up and recognised it instantly. It was the letter for Kiraz she had wanted to give him along with the signed custody deal Aydan made. The enveloppe just had "Kiraz" written in her handwriting on top.

He inhaled and picked it, opening it and taking the letter out.

"Benim en tatlı ve sevgili kizim,

Ozör delirim. I'm sorry I couldn't be the mother you deserved to have. I'm so sorry I couldn't give you the happy childhood you deserved to have. I'm sorry for each wish of your heart that I couldn't fulfill. I am sorry for each time I scolded you or unwillingly hurt you. I am so sorry I couldn't give you the education you deserved. I couldn't even save you from leukemia.

I don't deserve you angel. You came into the world when Anne was so so alone, and you filled my heart and life with so much love, you saved me. The first time I held you was probably the happiest and best moment of all my life. Kiraz is the symbol of infinite love, I love you infinitely Kiraz. You're the purest soul that blessed my life. I wish so much that I could have welcomed you in happier circumstances, that I could have given you the happiness you deserve.

You're my first and only baby, and I wish it could have been different. I wish I could have celebrated when I learnt I was expecting you, not cried endless nights. I wish I could have been excited like I truly wanted to be, and showered you with everything my heart wished, made you a beautiful room, instead I stood in grocery stores saving a few cents on the type of formula I was buying you. I'm so sorry.
