"He's awake. At least he's alive." Ayse says as she walks down the aisle that leads to Kerem's room. She was at the company to take care some issues with the atelier since neither Muhsin or Samet wanted to leave Kerem alone. She and Hulya were trying some new designs for the wedding dresses when the call came.


She dropped everything, jumped in a cab and rushed to the hospital. The important thing is that he's fine, she keeps saying to herself like a mantra.


But what she faces exceeds her expectations.


She walks in without even bothering to knock the door. Everyone is around Kerem's bed but he's not lying down. On the contrary he is sited up and he's the one who does all the talking. And then he sees her standing there.


"My wife is finally here!" He says and runs to her. He wraps his arms around her waist. She froze for a moment not knowing how to react.


He sensed that something is wrong so he lets her go. "You ok babe?"


"Yeah I'm fine. Did you just call me your wife?" she says confused.


"Yes. It was one of my first memories. You in that gorgeous dress... You were so hot that night." He says and buries his face in her neck kissing her there.


"But then nothing else?" She asks and she looks around. Muhsin looks at her apologetically, Samet is happy and Yelda is... Yelda.


"What's more to remember my love? Where were you?"


"At the company. Something about the atelier. You probably don't remember it now..."


"You'll remind them to me at our bed when we go home. I'm perfectly fine."


"But Kerem maybe you should rest a bit more..." Ceyda says and that's when Ayse notices her hidden in a corner.


"You've been trying to keep me away from my wife ever since I woke up and I don't understand why." Kerem says angrily not taking his eyes from Ayşe. "Dad can we finally find the doctor?"


"Yes, yes. I'll settle this right away, don't worry. Can I borrow your wife for a while?"


"If you promise to bring her back quick." He jokes, kisses her cheek and lets her go.


Once outside of the room Ayse and Muhsin have the chance to talk. She's caught up on what happen, how her name was the first thing her remembered. And that he will help her with her family as long as she agrees to help his son. "We both know that you still love each other and you know that I still consider you as my daughter in law." Muhsin says and Ayşe smiles, agreeing.

Ten minutes later they are back with the doctor.


"Mr. Kerem you have a form of amnesia that should go away eventually. As for the family we don't put any pressure on him to remember, he'll do it on his own when the right time comes. If you need anything your wife has all the information. I hope you get better soon." And with that he left them alone.


"Ayse, can I speak with you? About the atelier." Ceyda says and walks out of the room without waiting for an answer.


She follows her already knowing what she will tell her.


"Listen Kerem is..."


"Sick, confused and suffers severe memory loss." Ayşe says aggressively.


"He's also my boyfriend."


"Not in his book. Apparently you are not that important to him as you wanted to think."
