continues after episode 38...

3 months later...

The alarm beeped waking reyyan up from her troubled sleep she got off her cold bed anf padded into the bathroom only to stop and look at herself in the mirror her hollow cheeks the dark bags under her eyes were the reminiscence of the pain she's been enduring from the past 3 months ...
Everyday she wakes up with the same sadness and longing , everyday she craves for his arms when she goes to bed and every morning for the gaze that penetrated her soul when she opens her eyes ...she's been living but without a heart , she was his sun but now she's turned into a dark planet lost in the universe oh how she misses him in entirety, it pains to even take his name but moving on was the right thing to do atleast she had to... sighing she finished her morning routine.

Stepping out of the bathroom reyyan was interrupted by a knock on her bedroom door , knowing very well who was at the other end she opened it with a smile and greeted her maid/househelp who was also a maid to the shadoglu's when her Baba was a kid .
"Gunaydin aunt nutan ".
"Gunaydin kizim ! How are you doing today ? Gel gel breakfast is ready dont leave before having it " aunt nutan responded smiling , she was a darling old lady just like an older version of melike always taking care of her.
" yok aunt nutan I dont feel like eating today and I'm getting late for my classes I better leave " reyyan tried avoiding her .
" yok I'm not going to listen to your excuses now come on hurry up.. I'm not going to let you go without finishing your breakfast" aunt nutan warned her in her motherly tone.
" aunt nu..." reyyan tried to convince her only to be ignored .
"Hadi reyyan hadi " aunt nutan called out turning around the corner of the hallway that led to the kitchen with a final wave of her hand beckoning her to follow.

At the breakfast table ...

" Yok yok aunt nutan thats enough I cannot eat anymore I'm getting very late " reyyan whined feeling like her stomach was ready to explode.
" kizim you haven't eaten even a fourth of what is on your plate , now come on finish everything and then leave Hazar wont like it if I kept you unfed" aunt nutan chided her but then her eyes turned soft and she placed her hand on top of reyyan's
" I know you miss your Baba and your home but reyyan you to need to sleep more look at those bags under your eyes kizim you need to stay healthy and think about yourself" she sympathised.
Ohh aunt if you only knew ... Reyyan thought to herself but putting up a half hearted smile she answered " tamam aunty " ending the conversation.

Leaving through the door and waving goodbye to aunt nutan reyyan hurried down the stairs from the first floor of her apartment building hoping she Wudn't miss the bus today ....running down the street at a moderate pace she reached the bus station just mins before it was to arrive.
Hopping onto the bus she greeted the few familiar faces that she saw on her everyday commute with a smile and sat down at her usual seat beside the window gazing out to the view of the bhosphorous and reminisced the day it all changed for her when elif gave up on her life.

3 months ago ... At the Aslanbey mansion

At the crack of dawn reyyan woke up and got off the bed putting on her discarded robe from the floor and walked towards the window to take in the view of the rising sun.
Its been 15 days since elif died and nothing has been the same ever since, this place always haunted her with its quietness and now it sort of resembles a haunted mansion where no one talks to one another nor has meals at the table anymore , elif left a deep void within everybody when she left ...
Looking down at the courtyard reyyan got teary eyed remembering the closeness she and elif shared , she was the only person in this soulless aslanbey mansion that understood her apart from miran.
Ohh miran ...how he still hasn't been able to come to terms with elifs death glancing back at the bed she saw him sleeping with restlessness marring his beautiful face. Elif was after all his baby sister and the pain of losing your sister was bound to give you sleepless and restless nights who would understand his pain better than herself afterall thinking about losing her precious Gul all those months ago had shattered her more than anything.
