So all of you requested me for second part to that one shot. I had not planned the second part initially but then I decided to do it seeing you guys comments.
—————————
Eda slept peacefully thinking that now finally things were back on track. It was almost 2 am when Serkan woke up to Eda's cries and screams.
He quickly looked at Eda and saw that she was having a bad dream. He could hear her sobbing and chanting "Please don't leave me. Don't go Serkan. Please. I.. I love you." She kept saying this on repeat.
Serkan immediately hugged her to him and spoke, "Eda, Eda. Wake up baby. You are having a nightmare. I am right here. With you. I am not leaving you. I am not going anywhere." He felt extremely bad and guilty seeing her like this.
Eda's tears flowed down her cheeks as she subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck still whispering his name.
"Eda, calm down baby. Please wake up. We are okay. You are okay my love." He spoke caressing her cheeks and wiping away her tears.
Eda opened her eyes and looked around and then at Serkan and spoke as her voice broke, "You are really here? You won't leave me Serkan? We will get married tomorrow right? Do you promise?"
"I promise Eda. I swear I will never leave you. What can I do to prove it to you?" He asked sincerely seeing her like this, so insecure.
Eda smiled and realised it was just a bad dream.
"Ummmm some love and some hot chocolate would do Serkan." She said grinning and Serkan pulled her for a kiss before getting up picking his sweatshirt and carrying her to the kitchen and settling her on the kitchen counter. He passed on the sweatshirt to her and she wore it as it was actually cold while Serkan was in his sweatpants only and started making hot chocolate for her. She gazed at him adoringly seeing him make her favourite drink.
He poured her hot chocolate in a cup and topped it with marshmallows while he made coffee for himself. He sat down just next to her on the kitchen counter itself facing her while Eda turned to face him. She took a sip of her hot chocolate smiling while Serkan sipped on the coffee.
"Eda, babe, do you want to talk about your nightmare?"
"Serkan, I...I.. I don't know. It was terrifying. I saw you leaving me. Saying that I was not the person you want to spend your life with. You.. you said that you were irked with my caring and selfless nature. That you felt irritated with me.." she said with tears in her eyes. Serkan felt terrible listening to this because it was his behaviour that had instilled this fear in Eda's mind which was manifesting itself as her nightmares. He kept his coffee aside and her mug as well before pulling her in for a tight hug.
"Ohh baby. I am sorry. I am so sorry for what all I have done Eda. From now on, I will always be there."
"You promise Serkan?"
"I promise my love. And from tomorrow you will be Eda Bolat. So, you get all the right to kick my ass if I hurt you ever just like you did today. I totally deserved that." He said chuckling. And Eda laughed a little in his embrace.
"Serkan."
"Hmmm."
"What will I wear for our wedding tomorrow? I don't have a wedding gown. Ummm, can I wear jeans to my wedding? They are so comfortable."
She said pouting and Serkan chuckled.
"Wear whatever you want baby, I just want you. I won't care if you even wear a jeans and sweatshirt to our wedding. But, I already have something for you to wear at our wedding." He said and Eda leaned back a little to look at him surprised.
"What do you have?"
"It's a surprise Eda."
"No surprise. I want to see it now Serkan."
"Hayir Eda. I will give it to you tomorrow before our wedding." He said smiling knowing Eda was just about to use her secret weapon of convincing him. And yes, there it was. Her pouting face and puppy eyes.
"Serkan please."
"Tamam tamam Eda. Come with me." He stepped down from the counter and helped her do the same. Then he held Eda's hand and took her to his home study. Eda was surprised why was he taking it there. He opened one of the closet and removed some files and behind it there was a big black box with a red bow.
He pulled it out and led Eda to sit on the couch, and then gave her the box.
"Eda, I hope you like it."
She opened it hurriedly and saw the wedding dress she had tried while faking marriage to Deniz. The one which Serkan had unbuttoned in his office when she was stuck in it. She immediately teared up thinking Serkan had actually bought that dress from that designer.
"Serkan? What.?? I mean how? This is the one that I tried and really loved. Umm. How? You didn't have your memories then?" She was speaking almost choked.
"Eda, when that day I saw you wearing this wedding dress, my heart palpitated. My heart beat rose because you looked damn beautiful, gorgeous. And the first thing I did going down was to secretly ask the designer that I was buying this dress. My heart had taken over any logic that I had and I couldn't stop myself from getting hands on this dress. I think that was the day I had actually realised that I had fallen in love with you again. So I kept it. I kept it with me and wanted to give it you when we get married. I hope you like it. Otherwise we can buy some other dress as per your liking tomorrow." He said smiling and looking at Eda who was crying now.
She immediately leaned in to hug him and settled herself on his lap.
"I love you Serkan so much. I love this dress. You know what when I wore this dress that day for trial, I loved it so much. And that's why I didn't chose it for my fake marriage to Deniz because I only wanted to wear it in front of you on our marriage. I didn't want anybody else to see me in this. I felt like.. like if I ever get married to you, I would wear this only then. Thank you for saving this for us.. I.. I love you so much." She said hugging him tightly.
"Eda. I love you too."
"Serkan."
"Uhh huh Baby?" He said caressing her hair.
"How will we get married tomorrow? I mean we did take an instant decision but there are a lot of preparations to be done, how will it be possible?"
She asked looking at him worriedly.
"Eda, it will all be done. Don't worry. Leave it on me. You know I won't mind getting married to you in the court. At the marriage registration office." He said smiling and something struck Eda's mind. She grinned at Serkan and spoke.
"Serkan. Let's get married at the registration office. Let's do that."
Serkan was beyond surprised to listen to this but this instant decision was definitely Eda like.
"Eda, my mother is going to go crazy if she hears this."
"Serkan, please. It's our marriage. Let's keep it simple, only our family and a few friends at our court marriage and then maybe we can throw a party later when we come back from our honeymoon. And also, we have less than 12 hours to plan that wedding. Let's do it this way. Please Serkan."
Serkan knew Eda loved simplicity over pomp and show. So he agreed. He nodded and Eda excitingly kissed him.
"Thankyou Serkan. I love you so much." She said yawning and Serkan chuckled.
"You are sleepy. Come on, let's sleep. We do need rest, especially you Eda."
"I am too sleepy Serkan." She said and leaned down on him and her eyes drooped close as he adjusted himself better on the couch and pulled a blanket over them and caressed her to sleep.
The next morning Eda woke up in the home office and realised that they had slept there only but she was alone. Serkan wasn't anywhere in site. She quickly looked around and saw him out making breakfast. The sun had risen and she was wondering till how late she slept. She stepped out of the room and went directly to the kitchen hugging him from behind.
"Good morning Eda."
She just hummed and kept kissing his neck from behind.
"Eda, we have a long day today my love and if you start with this, we are never going to reach the marriage office baby!" He said chuckling and turning in her arms and facing her.
"Eda..Eda baby stop. I..." He said as her hands reached the hem of his sweatshirt and tugging it up.
"Shut up Serkan. Don't stop me. I have missed doing this," She said keeping one finger on his mouth as she pushed his sweatshirt up and away from his chest and Serkan raised his hands to help Eda remove it. Even though he was enjoying it, he really wanted Eda to stop because he knew if didn't, Eda would kill him really soon. And Eda was literally kissing his nipples now eliciting pleasurable moans from him. And it happened. As Eda was busy devouring his muscular chest, they heard somebody literally choking and Eda stopped dead in her tracks.
She peaked to her left a little as Serkan also turned his head around embarrassed and blushed. They could literally see three other people looking anywhere but them. Aydan, Ayfer and Seyfi, and it was Aydan who had choked on her coffee as she came from her house across the garden to her son's house sipping on her morning coffee.
Eda looked back at Serkan who was embarrassed as well and Eda quickly moved back blushing giving him space to move a little and wear his sweatshirt again. Serkan chuckled seeing Eda blushing and all shy now as compared to her boldness just 2 minutes ago.
They went out of the kitchen, Eda following behind Serkan and her head down not being able to meet the other three people standing across the porch. It was Serkan who decided to break the ice and spoke first.
"Good morning anne, Seyfi and Ayfer hanim. Welcome. Have a seat please." He said moving towards them and smiling.
"Good morning Serkan. Ahhh, I suppose you should learn some self control because it's really awkward to walk in on your grown son making out especially when you yourself called us here." Aydan said sarcastically and laughing, clearly embarrassed from what she saw early morning.
And Serkan was sweating in that cold weather. Because of Eda's death glare at him. He knew this was coming but damn that look from her could actually make him sweat.
He spoke nervously, "umm please sit guys. I will get some breakfast and coffee for you all. Excuse me." He said and moved towards the kitchen while everyone settled themselves on the couch on their patio smiling.
Eda excused herself from them saying she would help Serkan get the breakfast while everyone smiled to themselves thinking that they were just excusing themselves to complete what they had been interrupted doing. The trio knew how much they loved each other despite the hardships and problems in their relationship and how it was literally impossible for them to keep their hands off each other.
Eda walked behind the counter and entered the kitchen area glaring with anger at Serkan while he gave her a sheepish smile.
"Serkan Bolat, you invited them here for breakfast and you didn't even stop me from kissing you. You embarrassed me." She said hitting him on his chest.
He grinned and held her hands in his which was on his chest.
"Ohh careful baby. Just 5 minutes ago you were kissing me here and now hitting me. Let me remind you, I tried stopping you baby. You only shut my mouth." He said and laughed.
"Serkaaan. They saw me kissing you like this. It's so embarrassing. How should I face them now?"
She said blushing.
"Ahh Eda. Calm down my love. You are my fiance and today you are going to be my wife. So calm down baby. You shouldn't be embarrassed. Come let's go back before they think something else. Also we need to tell my mother and your aunt about our marriage." He said and Eda nodded realising Serkan was right. They walked back to the trio sitting on the couch with breakfast dishes and tea. Seyfi also came to them to help with preparing anything left.
They all sat down to eat and started enjoying their breakfast talking about random things when Serkan spoke.
"Anne, Ayfer hanim, we need to tell you guys something. That's why we invited you for breakfast."
"Effendim?" Ayfer spoke.
"We are listening Serkan." Aydan nodded as well.
"Umm, hala, Aydan hanim. We decided.. that... that." Eda was completely nervous and held Serkan's hand tightly. Serkan nodded and spoke.
"We have decided to get married." He spoke and everyone smiled at them as the words settled in. Eda and Serkan looked at each other briefly and then Eda looked back and spoke, "Today."
And everyone fell silent and shocked.
"Ne?" "Today?" "Marriage?" Came the words from 3 shocked people.
"Evet, we have decided to get married today at the court." Serkan spoke.
"Why? What's the hurry? That too in court? I mean Serkan we have a reputation to maintain. You can't get married in court. We need to properly plan a wedding. An out of this world party that people have not seen before. We are the Bolats Serkan. No. I won't allow this. You can't get married like this." Aydan spoke.
"Eda, we.. we have to follow our traditions. What is this immediate decision and all? Huhh? What's wrong that today morning you woke up and decided to get married? I have no problem if you guys simply want to get married in the registration office but Eda, isn't this a hasty decision?" Ayfer spoke while Seyfi was literally jumping with joy.
Serkan held Eda's hand and pulled her by the waist towards himself.
"We really don't want to wait to get married. We will marry today Anne and Ayfer hanim. We want it to be that way. At the registration office. But anne, me and Eda have decided that you can throw us a party, I mean you and Ayfer hanim both can plan a wedding party for us after we come back from Maldives after 2 weeks. You both will organise it together, we don't want any conflicts or fights. And we can have a small celebration today after our wedding. So please, we really need you guys standing with us in court as a family."
Aydan and Ayfer also understood that the couple had been through a lot and if they wanted to get married, they shouldn't try to object to it. So they all happily agreed finally happy for the couple.
"Tamam tamam, we will always support you children. Don't worry, we are with you. But me and Ayfer hanim will plan a party for you guys. Go marry today and then go to your honeymoon. Enjoy yourselves." Aydan said winking and Eda blushed and hugged Serkan.
"Anne, anne we understand. Stop with this honeymoon talks. And thank you. Seyfi can you pick up a tuxedo for me from my designer. Eda already has a wedding dress. Ayfer hanim, no doubt, the flowers and her bouquet is on you and we will keep discussing if anything is required on our group. And please excuse us. Me and Eda have to go somewhere before the wedding."
Everyone nodded and went around happily tending to the work given to them.
Eda hugged Serkan as the trio left finally relieved that their families were on the same page. She was extremely happy and a little anxious anticipating the wedding.
"Serkan, where do we have to go before the wedding?"
"Eda. You need to get some tests done at the hospital. Yesterday your doctors told me to come again today so that they can understand your faintings better. And please, please baby get it done. Please don't refuse." He said
She spoke sadly, "Serkan I am completely all right now. It was just our relationship stress that caused me to faint. It's nothing else askim. Please let's leave it. We can enjoy our wedding."
"Eda, please for me. For my peace. Because I am scared that I have hurt you. I am scared of you fainting again Eda. Please for me baby." Serkan said literally pleading.
Eda's heart melted at that and she agreed.
They got ready and went to the hospital. Eda underwent a few tests and they sat together waiting patiently for their results. Serkan and Eda were both a little tensed because the doctors were taking a lot of time analysing the results.
At last the doctor called them in his cabin and spoke, "Eda hanim, Serkan bey, I am glad that you came for the tests today. Now here's a good news. Eda hanim is completely fine and healthy. Only she needs to eat properly without skipping meals and also have no stress at all. And there's another thing. Her heart tests show that her heart is a little weaker than an ordinary person. So she needs to exercise everyday so that we can strengthen her heart and the most important thing is no stress at all. If you take care of all this, we can help her heart come back to normal. Is this clear?"
Serkan felt guilty and bad for causing this harm to Eda. Eda tightly clutched his arm and spoke.
"Tamam doctor. I will do as you say." Serkan nodded as well.
"Evet doctor. I will make sure she has no stress and she eats properly. I will myself make her exercise. Any other precautions that we should take?"
"No Serkan bey. Just make sure of this. And I would like to see you again Eda hanim after 3 weeks."
They both nodded and left. Serkan sat back in the car and he couldn't control himself anymore. Tears started falling down from his eyes as he spoke, "I am sorry Eda. I am so sorry for causing this. It's all my fault. All my fault. How do you still love me? I have always given you only pain."
Eda quickly pulled him for a hug.
"No Serkan. No. You have always given me love and care and your arms is the safest place for me. Please don't feel guilty. I promise you that I will take care of myself. I will get back to healthy."
Serkan smiled and kissed her lovingly. They went to have lunch at a restaurant and called Melo and Engin and Piril informing them about their wedding in a few hours and that they should come at the earliest.
Eda also called Ceren who had shifted with Ferit to London and Fifi who was also in London and happily told them that she was getting married.
Eda was finishing her dessert when she spoke, "Serkan, I will go to my house by taxi. Melo is waiting for me there. Seyfi bey has already dropped my wedding dress there. I will see you now at the registration office Serkan." She said and Serkan frowned.
"Eda. Why? Why are you going to your home? We can get ready together at our house and then go together."
Eda kept her hand on his on the table and spoke, "Serkan, you know you can't see me before our wedding. Although I have spent the morning and afternoon with you. But we now will see each other at the venue. Traditions Serkan."
"Eda, baby, you know I don't believe in all this right. And you also never did. So why now?"
"Serkan, the last time, before you left for Italy, you came to see me and everyone told me that it was a bad omen. And then your plane crashed. I never believed in all these traditions Serkan but it scares me. I just want to make sure that we stay happy and healthy. Please, for me agree to this. Anyways it's just a few hours. I will see you in 3 hours."
Serkan understood her insecurity well and nodded.
"Okay, okay. Please take care of yourself and take my car baby. I will ask Engin to pick me up from here."
"Serkan but."
"Eda.. Eda.. please don't argue with me on everything. Just take my car." He said and she had to agree.
They went back to their homes. Nervous and happy about the upcoming thing. They couldn't somehow even explain their own emotions at the moment. Even though they had been living together for a few months now, they both knew marriage was a really big step and although they were really happy and not even doubting this decision for a minute, they were a little anxious.
Melo and Ayfer helped Eda get ready and Engin was with Serkan helping him get ready. Eda asked Melo and Ayfer to leave her alone for a few minutes as she breathed heavily and looked at herself in the vanity mirror. She was looking absolutely perfect, her subtle make up, red lipstick and the wedding dress.
She picked up her phone and called Serkan.
"Hello Eda. Everything alright baby?" Serkan asked worried.
"Serkan."
"Effendim baby?"
"I am anxious. I mean I don't know how to explain this feeling. Uhhhmm. I have wanted to marry you for so long, but I am scared. I mean until we don't finally get married, I feel this weird feeling of things going wrong." Eda spoke while Serkan fixed his shirt buttons.
"Eda, sweetheart calm down. Nothing bad is going to happen and we will get married today. Please don't take stress and if you will, I am going to come to your house right now."
"No, no. We have to follow the traditions Serkan. Okay, okay I am calm askim." She said smiling because Serkan always managed to calm her down.
"Take a few deep breaths Eda. Come on now." Eda did as told and Serkan relaxed to finally hear her relaxed.
"Eda, so have you dressed to kill me my love?" He asked chuckled.
"I have askim." She said and Serkan let out a breath.
"I can't wait to see you Eda."
"I can't wait either Serkan. See you in an hour love." She said cutting the call and giving last touches to her makeup.
Both of them were now in their cars reaching the marriage office. He chuckled at the thought that out of all the places in the world, he was getting married in the marriage registration office in court. Ahh, what all things is his wife going to make him do, he laughed to himself.
He reached the office and thanks to Engin and Aydan's influence, the room had been vacated from any unwanted media and any other people. It was now for the official person and them and their families.
Engin, Aydan, Seyfi and Piril stood with Serkan waiting for Eda and Serkan was the one now who was beyond anxious waiting for her. He was excited to see her in the wedding dress.
He was tapping on his feet nervously as he stood with his back towards the door talking to Engin.
Piril had video called Ceren and Ferit and Seyfi was on the video call with Fifi showing them their best friend's wedding live on Eda's request. Everyone was waiting impatiently for Eda who was supposed to come in any minute now.
And there she was. Standing at the door with Ayfer and Melo giving the shy smile. Engin tapped onto Serkan's shoulder and spoke, "Brother, she's here."
Serkan turned around immediately and as his eyes meet hers, they both teared up. They both looked up and down each other and realised how gorgeous and beautiful the other looked.
Eda saw him in ever so hot black tuxedo, now this was going to be her favourite over his blue 3 piece suits. He looked extremely hot and dashing and she could already feel the heat growing in her lower abdomen.
Meanwhile Serkan literally drooled over his would be wife. She looked ethereal in her white wedding dress that was hugging her body in the right places and her simple make up but the red lipstick on her lips that Serkan loved biting and sucking onto. She had a bouquet of her favourite flowers in her hands. And she was giving the shy smile that Serkan was definitely seeing the first time.
He wiped a lone tear that escaped his eye as Eda walked towards him. He held out his hand to hold hers as she was almost a few steps away from him. Eda happily took his hand and they were now standing just inches away from each other lost in each other's eye oblivious of the people looking at them lovingly.
Ayfer was already tearing up.
"You look so beautiful Eda. I can't take my eyes off you." Serkan said whispering in her ear as she blushed.
Their moment was broken upon by the marriage counsellor who asked the couple if they were ready to start the ceremony. They both nodded.
The counsellor started their marriage proceedings by asking the witnesses and then both the groom and the bride, they both said yes excitedly and the counsellor officiated their marriage.
Serkan pulled her by the waist and kissed her passionately, and they didn't stop for minutes. While everyone around them hugged each other and clapped and stepped back a little to give the newly wed couple their moment alone.
Serkan pulled back the kiss but still holding her in his arms and spoke, "Eda, I am going to love you all my life. You are the star of my life and I am going to make sure that you always shine. Without you, there's just darkness in my life.
I promise you that I will make sure you do not even shed a single tear because of me my love. Eda I love you so much. You are my whole life. And you are my strength. You are my queen Eda." He spoke caressing her hair. Eda teared up a little.
"Serkan, don't. Look I am already crying because of you." She said wiping her tears and chuckling.
"I love you Serkan Bolat."
"I love you Eda Bolat." Eda blushed listening to that. She was finally a Bolat. Finally Mrs. Serkan Bolat. Finally his wife. There was a whole different bundle of emotions currently inside her. She felt at peace. Like all the stars in the sky had listened to her wish.
She leaned in to hug him tightly and he happily obliged.
"Serkan, we are married. You are my husband."
She said trying to fit in that reality into their heads happily.
Engin came to them and patted on Serkan's shoulder. Eda leaned back and smiled at Engin.
"Congratulations brother and Eda. Come on, it's time for party now." Engin spoke as Serkan nodded.
"Where are we partying Serkan?" Eda asked surprised.
"It's a surprise baby." He said excited and Eda nodded.
"Engin, I am taking Eda home to get her changed and then we will meet you guys there in an hour." Serkan spoke and Engin nodded going back to everyone else and informing them about the party. Serkan took Eda by the hand and they happily walked to the car enjoying their blissfully married moment.
Serkan helped Eda sit in the car and then sat on the driver's seat himself and drove off to their home.
—————————
So I decided to write a third part to this series as well. About the party and then their honeymoon.
So it will all be in third part.
Your ideas about the third part are definitely welcomed.
