Ask-i Memnu: An Alternate Ending.

14. The Proposal

While Bihter was taken for a control checkup, Behlul told everyone about his plans of proposing Bihter. Everyone was ecstatic upon hearing this! The day was about to get better. He told them he had bought the ring long back but everything else had to be arranged and there was only an hour before they brought Bihter back.

Behlul: "A hospital isn't exactly the most romantic place to propose but I just couldn't wait anymore! This is the happiest day of my life, and I want to make her mine forever!"
Peyker: "Awh, Behlul! That's absolutely adorable. She'll love it."
Alice: "Yeap, she loves you like crazy! She'll be the happiest no matter where you propose to her."
Firdevs: "Okay let's get to work then! We have little time." she said in excitement.

They all got together to make the room all cute and romantic. Bihter was brought back to the room and it was all dark.

Bihter: "Hey, what's going on? Why is the room all dark? Where's my son? And my family?" she asked the nurse in confusion.
Nurse: "Don't worry miss, the light will be back in a minute. Let me fix your stretcher back in place and I'll bring your baby."

Just as the nurse brought the baby back and lay him in his basinet, exiting the room, fairy lights started twinkling all over the room and 'cant help falling in love' by elvis started playing dimly in the background. Bihter couldn't make sense of what was happening until she saw Behlul standing right across with his hands tucked behind him.

Bihter: "What is all this, blondie?" she questioned in excitement. "Behlul?! What's going on, did you do all this?! Hey, what are you hiding, lemme seee" her voice went all squeaky with happiness.
Behlul: "Ah, patience, woman! I'm trying to do something romantic here."  he proceeded to get down on one knee, bringing forward a red bouquet and a black box holding a shiny diamond ring.
Bihter: "Uh- I- Oh God! Beh- Behlul!" her voice started to break as she struggled to get any words out of her mouth.
Behlul: "Shhh! I'm not done yet.. Bihter Melih Yöreoglu. I used to joke about how men who fell in love were stupid. I used to be so sure that I would never fall in love.. it was for the weak I would say.. it made a person vulnerable. I never wanted myself to be vulnerable. And then you came along.. in the most twisted way.. you entered my life. I would tell myself, no, I don't like this woman, she's not my type. I knew I was only lying to myself saying all that. You made me experience feelings I never knew existed. All my life, I've never come across someone like you. I've never loved anyone or anything as much as I love you! I love how you light up my world with your laughter, how your eyes twinkle when you smile, how your voice gets all squeaky when you're happy.. and most of all, I love to love you! Being with you makes me feel complete, like I have someone in this world who's mine. Just mine. If it weren't for you, I would still have been the miserable person I used to be, a person who had no courage, who only knew to run from responsibilities. I can't believe how you still love me after all I've done.. That unconditional love. I don't wanna lose it ever again.. I don't wanna hide or run anymore.  So I ask, Bihter Yöreoglu, will you marry me?
Bihter: "YES!! A thousand times yes!!" she let out loudly as she wiped away her tears and tried to get up.
Behlul: "Aa-Aa! Don't get all jumpy, woman. Stay right there and just give me your hand." he came closer and held her left hand, sliding the ring onto her finger. "Stop shivering, silly!" he laughed.
Bihter: "I'm sorry, it just feels like a dream."
Behlul: "Does it fit?" he questioned looking at his love.
Bihter: "Hah! Just like a puzzle! You have no idea how happy I am right now. I love you, Behlul Haznedar! You have my heart till my last breath!" she caressed his hair.
Behlul: "I love you, too! Always have, always will. I promise you, I'll do everything in my might to keep you happy!"
Bihter: "You have already made me the happiest woman in the world!"
Behlul: "Come here.." he sensually whispered.

Bihter leaned in and placed her forehead against his, feeling the warmth of his skin. They shut their eyes and leaned in to kiss; he pressed his lips against hers, breathing in the smell of her perfume, and then gently opened his mouth. The heat rose in her cheeks as his tongue touched hers. And they gave in all at once, making up for all the time they had lost, all the precious moments they had missed. The kiss was just how their love was; passionate yet sensual and sweet at the same time!
All the while, Elvis' melodious voice made it more heavenly..
🎶 Darling so it goes, Some things are meant to be.. Take my hand, take my whole life too.. For I can't help falling in love with you! 🎶
