Eda went back up the office only to find out Serkan had left.
His laptop gone, Kiraz sleeping soundly, pillows propped on her side to prevent her from falling.

"Where is he?" She checked on the terrace garden, but he wasn't there. Ran down quick to ask Kerem. "Have you seen Serkan left?"
"Yes boss. He left a few minutes ago. He seem to be in a hurry." She nodded.

"Okay, thanks Kerem." She went back upstairs.
"He didn't even say goodbye." She slumps on the couch, leans down to give Kiraz a kiss on the forehead.
"Oh my cherry. I wish Dad was here." She nuzzled the little girls scent. "Always smells like cherries, my Kiraz."
The little girl moved, tickled by her mother's hair. "Hi! You slept fairly well, my baby." Eda help her up and pulled her to her arms.
Kiraz smiles and nod, some of her hair covering some part of her face.
"Have you had breakfast?" Kiraz shook her head.
" You want to eat some pancakes?" The girl nodded.
"Okay, I'll have Leyla bring us some. Mama is hungry too."
The girl smiles wide and started looking around the room.
"Dad, will be back. It's okay. We'll have breakfast together for now, okay?" She looks at Kiraz beautiful face, it was obvious she was sad. Eda hugged her daughter tight, trying to make up from a the sadness she had felt over the last five months.

Eda decided to go home early, she had her Aunt close the café. Fifi called, she's heading to the house early too.
She left Kiraz in her play room while she prepare dinner. Melo came in, talking about the hot weather. It was almost six when Fifi arrived.

"I've come bearing gifts." She said as she enters the front door. Both hands full of bags.

"Where is my favorite niece?" She asked both Eda and Melo.
"Play room. Leave the other bags here. She can open those later." The latter listened and place around nine bags by the couch.
"Hey Fifi, did you buy the whole toy store?" Melo asked, as she check all the bags. There was one bag from a boutique and around eight bags from the one toy store.
Fifi walks back to the kitchen, leaving Kiraz with a bag of lego toys.
"Melo, I thought you said when I called you this morning, that you can't come?" Fifi said, hugging Melo from behind
" I changed my mind. It's boring at my place. I've no one to talk to."

"You should stay the night, I've lots to talk to you about. Including Serkan. Eda never told me he's been at the café for over a week now." Fifi made her way to the fridge to get something to drink.

"He just came in for a cup of coffee last week, and had been coming since. I've been busy, I forgot to tell you." Eda checked on the roast she had in the oven.

"Fine, how's he? Does he remember anything?" Fifi and Melo wait for Eda to answer.

"He's been seeing some images, just this morning he told me about a dream. That day we got home from the hospital after I gave birth to Kiraz? He tells it with such detail. I didn't notice I was already crying."

"Oh Eda, I think it's time we tell him." Fifi reached for her hand and smile.

"I've got the best idea!" Melo suddenly exclaimed.

"How about we show him that video we made for your wedding?" Melo, Fifi and Ceren, her childhood friends have made a video, more of a compilation really of her and Serkan before they got married. Mostly contains of clips and photos of them together.

"I don't know girls. What if he freaks out?" Eda was hesitant, she had seen him flip from calm Serkan to a hysterical Serkan and she doesn't want Kiraz to witness such event.
