Remember Me

Part 14

This a work of fiction with characters based on the Turkish hit series Sen Cal Kapimi.

This chapter we get to know Fifi, her background, her personality. Although in the show she was one to have shown independence and loyalty. I feel like she was treated unfairly, her character was easily treated not as important as the others. So I'll try to focus on her with this one. As much as I want to do more chapter only on Eda and Serkan, I feel like Figen deserves the attention too. 😉

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Three years earlier.....

   Fifi stare at her reflection, it was the night before her wedding.  She and the girls had sipped some cocktails to calm the nerves, her grandmother decided to stay with her Aunt. Eda and the others are fast asleep in their rooms.

"This is it." She gave out a sigh. She hadn't been herself lately. She love Kaan, but inside her, she wasn't so sure anymore. She picks up her phone and stared at a photo of her together with her parents, back when they were still together. Her mom, had left them when she was young, it drove her father mad to extent that he decided to end his own life a few months later. That's why she lived with her grandmother.

For a long time, even before she was named one of the heiress of Yildirim Holdings, she had tried to look for her mother, but to no luck.

However she had never let feel like she was incomplete. After her father's death, they made sure her Fifi would feel like she was still part of a complete family, thanks to Eda's parents. Her Aunt Elif and her husband Caner had made sure she was taken cared off.

For a while she lived with them, made sure both her and Eda were healthy and happy. Until the accident. Eda and Fifi had beem through so much, that whenever they get into such situations it was only with each other that they find comfort, until her cousin met Serkan. To which Fifi is thankful, Eda deserves the happiness.

However, Fifi feels like she doesn't. After the heartbreak she witnessed with her father when her mother left, she's somehow scared. She loved Kaan, but is still in doubt. There's too many what ifs in her mind.

She looked around the penthouse suite, everyone was sleeping. She left a note on the table saying:

Tell Kaan I'm sorry.

and placed her engagement ring on top and left the room.

Present time.....

It has been a week since, Fifi was on her way to meet with a new client about a project in Izmir. She dropped by the café for a quick coffee and head to the office for her meeting.

Everything went smoothly and they have decided on a date to check the site. Her client Mr. Dogan bought a property just a few minutes from Izmir with a view of the Aegean sea and is looking forward to finish the house before their wedding a anniversary which is nine months away. It's a tight fit, if Fifi is going to base it on her workload, but who would refuse a job like that.

Fifi had chosen this profession because she loves it. Back when she was young, a pen and paper would easily put her at ease and it still works to this day. Whenever she's tensed she draw, and it helps her nerves.

She heard a knock on her office door. "Yes Betul?"

"Miss Fifi, Kaan Karadag is here?" Fifi looked up with eyes wide. "Uhhhmmm.. I'll meet him at the conference room Betul, thank you."  Her assistant left and Fifi sits there staring at the door.

He'd been waiting for ten minutes. He just wanted to say hi, instead of letting him in her office he was told to wait in a conference room. "Classic Fifi. Always treats everything as part of her job."
He stands up from the swivel chair and was about to go to her office when she suddenly enters.  Her curly jet-black hair tied up in a bun. Wearing a white blouse paired with a pair of black denim trousers and an open toe heels. God, she is beautiful. He thought. He's been head over heels in love with this woman, and he still does. Don't show it, don't show it. He suddenly panicked and hit the chair in front of him.

"Kaan?" She speaks, trying to hide her tensed voice.

"Fi..Figen."  he answered.

"Is there any problem?" She asked, looking at his face, flushed.

"Aahhhh.. that.. no nothing. I just thought I'd say hi, since I just got in a meeting. Your office was on the way."

"Okay.. I'm going to get some coffee, do you want one?" She asked. His face looks way more tensed than she does.

"Huh!?"

"How about, you wait here and I'll get my things. Let's get some early lunch?" She said almost about to burst out laughing.

"Huh?"

"Okay, I guess you're busy. I'll see you then."

"No wait, Fifi. I'll drive? I mean, let's use my car to get lunch. I'll wait outside." And he disappeared on her just like that. Fifi just shake her head. "He's never change. Still silly." She murmured and head for her office to get her things.

Kaan waited outside scolding himself for being weird. "You're such an idiot Kaan, what the h*ll was that?" He kicked his car tire in frustration. Why is she even so friendly? And why am I not angry with her? "Oooh man. You're in too deep." He sighed, knocking his forehead on his car.

"Ready?" He heard her say behind him.

"Hi!" Was all he was able to utter.

"Hi?" She said smiling, her eyes covered with thick black sunglasses.

He opened the car door and let her in. They where taxiing down the city center, both silent. Kaan spoke. "What do you want to eat?"

"Hmm? I don't know, I've been craving for something Asian lately."

"Hmm. Some chinese maybe?" He asked. She's a fan of the cuisine and is very fond of eating, like her cousin.

"Yes, I haven't had one for so long."  Kaan nods his head and drive to the restaurant.

"Right away."

It was at least a half hour drive, now both relaxed and comfortable with each others company.

"Kaan?"

"Hmmm..?"

"I know, I'm a few years late, but I'm really sorry."

"I know, I'm sorry too. I understand I was sort of in a hurry for us to get married. I should've known better."

"I just needed some answers. My mother, she left us. I just."
She wipes her eyes.

Kaan reached for her hand and squeezed it.

"I know, Eda told me."

"I should've stayed. If I could go back, I would never ran away."

"It's good that you did. You got to get the answers you're looking for. Eda told me, you found your mother?"

"Yes, she's in Dubai, she's married to her childhood sweetheart. She's happy. She told me, she wanted to bring me with her, but father wouldn't let her. My grandmother had known about how abusive my father is, and she helped her for sometime."

"I hope you're happy now Fifi." He said, a smile formed on his lips. She looked his way, her eyes full of longing.

I hope so too Kaan.
