Stay With Me

Recovering

Two more days later Ferit was sleeping, while a nurse was checking on him. It was early in the morning.

"S... Se... Seyran..." he began murmuring

"Seyran..." he repeated her name

He then began to move his head, slowly opening his eyes. The nurse noticed him opening his eyes and exclaimed "Ferit Bey?!"

When his eyes were fully open, Ferit murmured with a weak voice "Where am I?"

"You are in a hospital, Mr. Ferit." the nurse answered

"Seyran?" he exclaimed "Seyran nerede?"

"Mrs. Seyran is in the hallway." the nurse answered "Shall I call her here?"

"Yes, please..." he answered "I need to see her."

"Tamam." the nurse replied, nodding her head

She exited the room and went to Ferit's family.

"Mr. Ferit wants to see Mrs. Seyran." the nurse said

"Me?!" Seyran exclaimed

"Evet, Seyran Hanım." the nurse replied

"Does this mean he is recovering from his memory loss?" Seyran asked, tears of hope welling up in her eyes

"I cannot confirm for sure, but I believe he is." the nurse answered

More tears appeared in her eyes - this time happy ones.

Seyran nodded her head, wiped her tears and went to Ferit's room. She opened the door and stepped inside with quiet steps. Ferit turned his head to her, when he heard the door close.

"F-Ferit?!" Seyran exclaimed with a more quiet voice

"Seyran..." Ferit replied, his eyes glowing with happiness to see her

He then stetched his hand out and said "Come here..."

Seyran ran to him and hugged him carefully, so that she would not hurt him somewhere. He hugged her back and kissed her on her shoulder "Aşkım benim..." 

Seyran stayed like that, in Ferit's hug, for some more time, after which she slowly pulled away, looked him in the face and cupped it with one hand. Caressing the beloved face, she leaned in and kissed him tenderly on the lips, savouring the taste she had not tasted for some weeks.

When she finally pulled away, she asked him "How are you feeling, Ferit? You are alright, right?"

"I am fine. I am fine, Seyran, do not worry." he answered "And now that I saw you, I started feeling even better."

Seyran smiled with teary eyes, sitting onto the bed, at the level of his waist.

"I am happy that you are fine." she said "You do not know how hard it was to watch you in that condition..."

"Canım benim..." Ferit exclaimed, cupping her face and rubbing a gentle thumb across her soft cheek

Seyran placed her own hand over his, caressing it and bringing it down to her mouth, to kiss the inner side of his palm, enjoying how tender and soft it was. Oh, just how much she had been missing the touch of those hands!

"I got so scared when I learnt about your accident..." Seyran said "How did it happen?"

"Vallah, I do not remember much from it..." Ferit answered "What I remember is that I was driving back to the stonebrick house, after I had visited my grandfather. As I was driving, a truck suddenly appeared, driving straight towards me. I tried to turn right, to avoid a collision, but the truck seemed to not move to its right at all. The next moment we collided. After that I do not remember anything. I do not even remember anything from the hospital, until minutes ago, when I woke up."
