A month before Christmas

Eda

Christmas. My favourite time of the year, especially because our daughter Kiraz makes it better than we could ever imagine. When it was just me and Serkan it was beautiful, we made traditions as a couple and then Kiraz was born and as she grew we made traditions as a family. Now this is Kiraz's fourth Christmas, my baby is four, time goes so quickly. One minute your holding something so precious, besides the endless crying at night in your arms and the next she's this beautiful smart child who looks my identifiable with her fathers personality. And yet today I'm here a month before Christmas, a week before I take my Christmas leave to spend my holiday with my favourite people, working to reach my deadline on the hotel garden project.
My thought are interrupted when I see my phone light up with no other than my husbands name upon the screen.

"Mummy?!" My little baby calls.

"Hello my precious baby" a smile paints my face.

"Mummy, I miss you. Will you be long? Me and daddy are making dinner and it will be ready soon" her little voice laced with impatience like her father and a glint of sadness because I'm not home yet.

I looked at the clock and screw it I want to be at home with my favourite people rather than sitting here so late into the evening on a Friday night.

"I'm just getting my things together my love and then I will be on my way home. I've missed you all day and daddy too. I love you" I smiled closing my laptop and gathering my things.

"Okay mummy, I will tell daddy you will be home soon so we can have dinner and watch a film before bed. Daddy said it's his turn to choose tonight but I gave him one look and he gave in...." She giggled on the other line before a muffling noise took over.

"I didn't give in, I just...okay maybe I did give in but she's been bless with the same look you give me when you want something. Those beautiful eyes are hard to say no to" Serkan grumbled on the other side of the phone.

"I'm sorry my love but that's what happens when you have two girls to deal with. You are outnumbered" I locked up the office and made my way to the car. Hands full and my phone resting between my neck and shoulder.

Narrator

Eda made her way to the car unlocking as she crossed the road.

Serkan chucked on the phone "I missed you today. I told you not to do this project so close to Christmas"

Eda rolled her eyes, not because she was annoyed but because she knew he was right.
"I know I know. I just need the tiniest amount of time and I'll be done in the next couple days and then I am all yours"

"Good because I intend on spoiling you and never letting you back to work until after Christmas" she could hear the pout he was doing through the phone.

Crossing the road Eda failed to notice the car swerving around the corner. With her phone in her against her ear and full attention on getting home. The portfolio slipped from her hands before she reached the car. Listening to his promises of not letting her go made her want to be home more. She quickly bent down to reach the paper work as she answered Serkan.

"I love you. I'm just getting into the car now. I won't be lo..."

Muffled noises and screeching could be heard through the phone. Panic , immense panic rushed over Serkan as he held his heart

"EDA!!! EDA!!! Baby can you hear me?" His heart started to race. His mind went blank. He hoped to god that the noise wasn't Eda. Knuckled white as he held on to the countertop and listened for a response...

"EDA WHAT WAS THAT NOISE? EDA!?" He shouted again before people talking and sirens could be heard. Then the phone cut off...
