Tata Steel warns of uncertainty over future of UK business

BBC News

Tata Steel has warned that the finances of its UK business face “material uncertainty” given market conditions and the level of government support.

Tata said a stress-test of its European arm to assess the impact of a downturn had flagged concerns for the UK unit.

However, Tata Steel UK said it expected trading to pick up later this year.

The Department for Business said the government is providing support to protect the steel industry from “unfair trade and energy costs”.

The UK business of India’s Tata Steel employs about 8,000 people, with half at the Port Talbot steelworks in Wales.

In results published last week, Tata said that earnings at Tata Steel Europe – which includes the UK business – fell by more than 60% in the year to 31 March.

It added it had carried out tests to assess the potential impact of an economic downturn in Europe, given factors such as higher inflation and interest rates.

These tests found the outlook for the UK business would be “adversely impacted”, but it added it was continuing to “implement various measures aimed at improving its business performance and conserving cash”.

In July last year, Tata Steel said it would make a decision over the future of the its UK business in the next 12 months.

One uncertainty hanging over Tata Steel UK is what level of help it could get from the government.

The company is still in talks with the UK government over grants to help pay for a switch away from fossil fuel-fired blast furnaces.

Reports have suggested that the firm will get £300m, although the cost of decarbonising the Port Talbot plant has been estimated at up to £3bn.

A decision on support is needed soon, as the life of Tata’s blast furnaces are coming to an end and electric arc furnaces take between four and five years to build.

Steel industry warns of more job cuts without help

Government to offer £600m for green steel switch

Last month, Tata Steel UK told the Welsh Parliament that it wanted a “level playing field” with its European rivals to help it switch away from coal.

The company’s director of decarbonisation, Huw Morgan, said German firm Salzgitter had received €1bn towards its decarbonisation plans. “That’s half of the capital investment that we believe that they require to make the transition,” he said.

The Department for Business said: “We consider the success of the steel sector a priority and will continue to work intensively with the industry to help secure a decarbonised, sustainable and competitive future.”

In a statement, Tata Steel UK said that while it “starts the year at the bottom of the cycle with challenging market conditions given the difficult economic position in the UK and Europe, we ended 2022-23 with a positive cash balance and un-utilised financing facilities”.

“We are expecting that this – along with specific actions to improve business performance – will ensure that we manage this period of downturn.

“We should then be well placed to optimise our production and delivery volumes in 2023-24 as market conditions improve in the latter half of the year.”

i'm really curious to know who selin was talking to when she saw edser. i can't believe this woman is degrading and embarrassing herself this much i actually wish they had balca continue in this direction rather than selin bc selin was a much better character than balca to begin with.

I have to agree. They’ve really ruined her character. Like Selin’s always been a little sad and, for lack of a better word, pathetic because her constant interest and pursuit of a man that’s never loved her or treated her right, but she’s never really been malicious, or evil, or even ill-intentioned. Unless you count those episodes in the 20s, which I honestly don’t because I always felt like the writers just didn’t know what to do with her or how else to drag out the breakup, so they just made her ooc and tried to make her into the next villain. Her character change didn’t really have much of a point since they just brought Balca in and decided write Selin out. But yes, this storyline would be much better suited for Balca, who was villainous and deceitful from the very beginning.

Of Queens and Trash

Here’s the thing. SCK has been on a downward trend since 13. The breakup was long, getting together again was tiring, the amnesia plot was poorly handled and the mess that came following his recovery was, well, a mess. The necessary break for covid gave us a chance for a fresh start for Edser. All the bad stuff in the past, and a focus in the last episodes of them being able to finally fulfill all the promises they had not been able to. After all, this was a story that, at its core, was about two people who met and fell in love and who, no matter what, chose to be together. Invisible handcuffs. And with the return of the OG writer, it seemed we might finally get that. After 39 episodes of angst and only 7(?) of real togetherness, surely it was time? Forget the pain of the past, and start with Edser navigating their world together.

And then the trailer dropped. And all of a sudden, all the people who had spent months eviscerating Serkan for behaving badly in the 30s were celebrating this new plot, the “great angst” and Eda “being a Queen.”

For me, I can’t get over the hiding of the child. It's a hardline deal breaker. I don’t think it matters who writes it, I think it's an awful plotline. No matter how "good" the trailer looks or moments seem, I will remember that I was watching a show about two people who loved each other and never wanted to be apart, about a man who learned how to open his heart, and this ruined it all.

Now, I think it's worth noting that my hard line, in this particular case, is in response to Edser, if that makes sense. I’m not hardline, “if this is in a story I’m not watching”. If it works for the characters and story because that is the type of story being told, then fine.

I don't subscribe to the woke feminism brand of "all women are Queens and all men are Trash" which seems to be a trend of late (and not just in fandom). I think people are people and people are generally imperfect but also trying. I don’t think women, simply by virtue of carrying a child, get full say in what happens to the child, regardless of the father’s wishes. I'm not fond of a “hiding a kid storyline”, and while I get the whole "my body my choice" style of arguing, it took two people to make the baby. Two people get a say in what happens. I get you are growing the kid, but you didn't spontaneously conceive.

For me, Edser being apart and/or hiding a kid is a hardline. It doesn't fit with the characters as I know them and it doesn't fit with the storyline. And look--I hated the amnesia plot. I thought there were a literal million ways this could have been done better, but it's what we got. So for everyone suddenly defending this new plot, despite it making about as much sense as Eda getting married to make Serkan remember her, then that means everything goes. No blaming writers or ignoring canon...everything has context and meaning now. And since “it's realistic” is also a common refrain, then fine. Let’s go realistic.

Imagine being in a plane crash. You wake up, you have clear physical/mental blocks. For someone who likes to be in control, that's terrifying. You have a ring on your finger with a woman's name you don't know, and an entire year missing. You call the one person you know will come (since your parents and friends are useless) and she comes and tells you a story that jives. You can't remember shit and you keep getting flashes and your hands won't work, so you take what she tells you, because why would you have any reason to doubt? It’s not like you can remember anyway, and trying to remember hurts.

You finally go back home, and you recognize nothing about your own life. Friends, family...everything is different. Your mom is out, your dad is gone, your best friends are married. You don't even live in the same house, you have people working in your company you don’t know--even your dog is gone. And then you have a hysterical woman throwing pictures in your face of a man you don't recognize and your brain is still foggy and all your friends and family seem to be shrugging their shoulders at you.

You're terrified and alone and all you get is some vagueness about an epic love story and too much emotion and all you want to do is hide. From everything. Plus your heart is doing this thing every time the girl is near and you think you might be dying maybe and remember how your brother died?

So, the girl kisses you, you literally feel like you might be dying, and it's like naw. Fuck this. I'm getting back an ounce of control. So you propose to Selin. I mean you don’t love her and you barely want her but at least she is the same. At least she hasn’t changed, and at least she doesn’t stare at you with the weight of a million expectations that everyone else does. At least she doesn’t look at you and hope to see a man you can’t ever remember being.

But then the girl everyone claims is your soulmate is suddenly engaged to another man, and spends every moment after that claiming she hates you, she is over you, she is better off/happier without you, doesn't need you.

So it's like, okay, what is the truth. Your brain isn't helping, your friends aren't helping, she isn't helping. So you lash out, you close off, because really, what else is left. Your life isn’t your life, your mind isn’t your mind, you can’t even figure out what’s real and what isn’t. And she’s getting married and you want to die but she’s getting married and surely if she loved you she wouldn’t be doing this?

And then you get your memories back. Finally. Everything comes flooding back ,and it's a lot. You cope in shitty ways, you don't respond well, etc. You’ve returned from the dead twice, and everything feels just slightly off, but maybe you can make this work. At least you have her. After a few days, you’re feeling like your old self. You've got your memories, your girl, the possibility of the future you had snatched twice, and then BOOM. She rejects you, out of nowhere.

Won't talk, won't communicate, you have no idea what the fuck is happening. She’s crying and sad but also not leaving but also not staying and your brain can’t quite work things out but all you can do is promise that you love her, only her, always her, forever. Surely she must know that by now, right?

And then she tells you about the baby. You can't remember the sex of course, but then you find out it probably happened while your brain was fucked, and you barely have time to process this before oh yeah the love of your life is leaving you bc she would rather you raise a baby with your rapist. And suddenly you might be dying, again.

But you stop her. You stop her and even though she says she didn’t come back for you, why else would she have stayed? So, you finally get her back, she tattoos you on her finger and maybe just maybe everything will be fine when BOOM. Cancer. You aren't even over the other shit, and you have a fucking tumor. You are 30 years old, you've survived a plane crash, amnesia, and now you have a tumor. How many times can a person die?

And so you don’t cope well. You withdraw, you back away. Your brother died when he was young, you know what that does to a person. You know what it did to your family. You have this fear that curls around your heart that says “but what if she becomes my mother.” And she goes. She leaves and she takes your heart and your child (that you don’t even know about) and it’s like...fuck. Again. Because everyone leaves you, eventually. And somehow, it’s always your fault.

So, what I'm saying is, Eda endured a lot, sure. She was hurt. Their breakup in 14 was hard and I’m not denying that (although there is another post I could write about how since Eda never actually uses her words to tell him how she feels he can, perhaps, be understood in assuming that breaking up after barely being together would hurt but also that she would move on and live her life happily without him. Which I guess season 2 proves…) Losing Serkan to an accident/amnesia was hard, looking at the body of the man she loves but not seeing the man she loves must have been agony. But Serkan was fucking wrecked. So instead of choosing to write a plot where they both get to heal, where they both get to explore their pain and work through it together, we get Serkan who reverted to being a robot to cope with massive trauma and PTSD, and essentially is abandoned by everyone, again.

I guess what I'm saying is, if staying with him and supporting him when he was dealing with trauma was too much for her, then fine.That is very true for some people, and it’s certainly realistic. But I don't really think that jives with Eda and her character, and while it isn't a trauma competition, I'd still think Serkan comes out a winner here. Eda lost her parents, which was awful. She lost him, but she got him back. Twice. His trauma is losing his brother, being abandoned by his parents, a plane crash, amnesia, emotional manipulation/abuse and cancer. And then he gets punished by having his daughter taken away from him because he was having a hard time coping. Keeping a kid a secret isn't "protecting the child" it's punishing the father.

Tl;dr The direction they have taken the characters is gross for both mains, but if people are trying to justify Eda keeping his child from him because “he deserves it” or “she did what was best for her” then I think we maybe haven’t been watching the same show. Even if he said “I don’t want kids,” saying that to a hypothetical child is very different then being told “a baby is very much our reality.” Because that's the crux right? It's not that he decided he just didn't want to be a father ever, he's scared of having a family and losing them or of them losing him. And then she made that very fear be realized. Which is tragic and quite the opposite of what his life partner needed to do in that situation.

Bitte.

Thanks to @lolo-deli for the proofread and the final lines, you are the best. And for putting up with my uncontrollable ranting about this for days.

What I Left Behind - Edser Fic

Summary: Eda is consumed by the loss of Serkan until she learns he left her with a piece of herself. She does her best to move forward but there's a tear in her life, her heartbroken beyond repair.

When Serkan returns she thought it would be a happy day but he doesn't remember her. He's with Selin. But even without his memories, he looks at her in a way that shakes her foundations.

Could the Serkan she lost ever be found?

Eda couldn’t move forward. She couldn’t fathom living in a world without her soulmate. Without Serkan.

Her wedding day was supposed to be the happiest moment of her life, now it was her most haunting memory.

She was living a nightmare she could not wake up from no matter how much she wanted to.

Serkan was gone, missing, lost and more than likely very hurt.

She refused to believe he was dead. She would have felt in her heart if that were the case.

But she feared for him. There was nothing that would’ve kept him from coming back to her. So why didn’t he? He promised he would come back.

Was she deluding herself? Was he gone and she was just in denial? Was she holding onto a ghost?

For the first few days, she cried herself to sleep, Serkan’s shirt clutch in her hands, his scent surrounding her.

She refused to eat, refused to leave the house, refused to come out of her room, refused to talk to anyone.

The one time she did was to leave her aunt’s house and go to Serkan’s. Sirius was there waiting for Serkan but got her instead.

There was a leash by the door. He had fresh water and a full bowl of food. She wasn’t sure who has been taking care of him but she was thankful to whoever it was.

Her friends and her aunt called her phone but she let it go to voicemail.

She didn’t want to talk to anyone, she didn’t want to hear their voices telling her it was all going to be okay.

Nothing was okay. Serkan was gone and until he came back for her nothing was ever going to be okay again.

Sirius walked up to her, his food untouched, and let out a low wine.

Eda dropped to the floor and wrapped her arms around his body, clinging to him. “I know, I miss him, too.” The tears slid down her cheeks wetting his fur.

Eda stayed there with Sirius for a long time, her body going stiff with her lack of movement.

She did not move until Sirius nudged her with his head. She stood slowly and started up the steps of Serkan’s apartment, stepping into his room was hard.

His scent filled the air and her heart squeezed in her chest, her throat closed up and a new wave of tears welled in her eyes.

She felt like she could not breathe. She moved to his side of the bed and sat on the edge. Her eyes slid shut and she could still remember the last time she was here with him.

Their bodies pressed together, skin to skin, his eyes shining with love, so much love that it seemed almost impossible that someone could love her with the depth Serkan did.

There were times that it had overwhelmed her. To be the center of someone’s world, it was a feeling she couldn’t describe but she felt the same way about him.

Every day since Serkan’s disappearance she had the same heart-crushing despairing thought sounding in her mind whenever she was alone.

She didn’t want to be here any longer.

She didn’t want to live in a world without Serkan. She didn’t want to be here if he wasn’t here with her. She didn’t want to experience everything life had to offer if she couldn’t experience it with the love of her life.

Eda laid down in the bed, pulling Serkan’s sweater to her chest, and allowed the pain to take hold. Her sobs filled the room, her face wet with her tears, and her body shaking with the pain.

She cried so hard, she couldn’t breathe, her heart pounded in her chest and her stomach cramped.

Suddenly the bed dipped and Sirius was there, he let out a whimper and pressed his head against her stomach.

Eda dropped her left hand down to lay atop his head, her grief not subsiding in the least but having Sirius there was a comfort.

Her phone rang suddenly, her aunt’s name flashed across the screen.

Eda ignored the call and turned her phone off. She didn’t want to be bothered. She just wanted to be left alone.

She wanted to sleep. It was the only time she could see Serkan. It was her only escape from the pain.

~*~ ~*~ ~*~

Eda barely had the energy to get out of bed most days. The more time that passed, the more she died a little bit more on the inside.

Her aunt and friends, Seyfi and Aydan eventually found her at Serkan’s place. Their concern was nice but she didn’t want it. Their presence only made things worse.

Aydan tried to get her out of bed but Eda couldn’t do it, Hell, she didn’t know how Aydan was managing.

Her aunt tried to get her to eat, to do something other than locking herself away in Serkan’s bedroom, but she couldn’t do it.

Ceren and Melo were trying to handle things at work but Peril and Engin needed her at the office. She was the majority shareholder now that Serkan was gone and they needed her there. She needed to speak to the press about Serkan.

Eda couldn’t do it. Work was the furthest thing from her mind.

She wanted nothing to do with it. With anything. None of it mattered without Serkan. She couldn’t move forward. She refused to.

She pushed everyone away. She didn’t need them. She needed Serkan and he wasn’t here. He left her alone and her heart, her soul, couldn’t take it.

She was slowly dying on the inside without Serkan. Suffocating from everyone’s expectations of her to pick herself up and carry on without the love of her life. Drowning from the pain and grief.

Eda thought she knew pain before but the agony she felt now was unlike anything she ever felt before and it only proved to her what she knew with absolute certainty.

She did not want to live without Serkan.

~*~ ~*~ ~*~

Eda barely left Serkan’s house. The only time she did was to take Sirius for a walk.

Like today Eda gathered her strength dressed in a pair of yoga pants and Serkan’s hoodie, her hair pulled back messily, and headed outside with Sirius.

She started a slow jog, Serius beside her kept to her pace.

She didn’t have the energy to run faster and in all honesty, her body felt too weak to do more.

She should eat more, she knew that. It was clear her body was starting to turn against her because she wasn’t taking care of herself the way she should.

Her health was important and this had to be her body’s way of reminding her much to her dismay.

She ran half a mile before she needed to stop and take a break. She stopped by a vendor, getting herself a bottle of water, she walked at a slower pace.

Suddenly there was a flash and they were descending upon her before she realized what was happening.

Camera flashes were going off like crazy, burning her eyes, startling her.

“Mrs. Yildiz, how are you dealing with the death of your fiance?”

Anger filled Eda. “What kind of people ask a question like that out of the blue? It’s none of your business!”

“Will you be taking over his company? Is it true that he left it to you? Do you think you yourself capable of running a business when you can’t even take care of yourself?”

Question after question was thrown at Eda as she tried to get away from them, pulling on Sirius’s leash as he barked and pulled on it, baring his teeth at the reporters.

“Sirius, come!” she ordered, trying to drag him away.

She was feeling like the air was leaving her and invisible walls were closing in on her.

The reporters did not heed Sirius’s warnings and followed, throwing question after question at her, becoming more personal by the second.

She walked two blocks with them stalking her when suddenly, she stopped her stomach cramping badly. Her arm went around her middle.

“Are you pregnant? Is the late Serkan Bey the father? How far along are you?”

Eda wanted to scream and yell at them to go away and stop with their far too personal questions but she couldn’t, her breath hitch, and no sound came out as the cramps intensified.

She felt something wet, and she thought she spilled her water but when she looked at her orange yoga pants, blood was bleeding through between her thighs, spreading across the fabric.

The reporters pressed in on her and it was all too much.

The reporters, their questions, trying to hold Sirius back, the pain, the blood. It was just too much.

Dots danced in her vision, she felt herself falling, losing her grip on the leash and Sirius lunged.

The last thing she heard before everything went back was one of the reporters screaming in pain.

A/N: I'm not sure when I will post chapter two but there will be more to this.

[mrsgreenworld]

Well, I wanted to write a fix-it fic of sorts, an alternative morning after for episode 26. And I will, pinky promise. But after the fragmans for episode 27 and our babies in all their engaged glory, I was also attacked by this idea to start a collection of short one-shots centred around married Edser.

So here we go. The first short piece.

I don't own any of the characters or the show. They all belong to Sen Çal Kapımı writers, the production company and FOX channel. This is only fanfiction.

_____________________________________________

Married Shenanigans. Part 1.

Eda's feet were barely touching the ground. She still couldn't believe all of it was actually real. Her and Serkan got married today. They were now officially husband and wife. And she... She was no longer Eda Yıldız. From now on she was Eda Bolat. Even the thought alone made her grin like a lunatic as she was zipping her suitcase. She brought it downstairs and placed it by the door the exact moment the doorbell rang. She swung the door open. What Eda saw was truly sight to behold - her new husband, grinning from ear to ear and bouncing on his feet. Serkan Bolat was bouncing. Eda let out a giggle at that.

"Ne?" Serkan asked, a little bashfully.

"Nothing," Eda responded with a smile and a shake of her head.

"So, are you packed and ready?"

"Yeah," Eda nodded at her suitcase by the door.

Serkan eyed it sceptically, then looked at Eda.

"Are you serious? Another suitcase with flipflops inside?"

"What? No! I have everything I need there".

"What about the rest of your stuff? Because I was going to hire a movers truck to bring it all to our place so you can, you know, move in".

"I, well, I... I haven't packed anything yet," Eda stuttered, a bit lost.

"What? Why? Eda!"

"I didn't really have time! Everything happened so quickly! Our engagement, then henna night and all the craziness after it. And then the wedding. I have barely had enough time to breathe, let alone pack my whole life".

"Fine, we'll do this together next week".

"Next week?"

"Yes, we're taking a week off".

"Why?" Eda asked confused.

"Because we're newlyweds, it's our honeymoon. You know, it usually follows the wedding," Serkan explained, as if talking to a child.

"A honeymoon. We're going to have a week-long honeymoon?"

"Yes, Eda!"

"Who are you?" Eda teased him with a smile.

"You know, there's this amazing, beautiful, smart, funny woman. Eda Bolat is her name. Well, I am her husband," Serkan retorted, his own grin risking to split his face in two.

He pulled Eda to him and she went willingly. Serkan pecked her lips softly and squeezed Eda's hand.

"Get your flipflops and let's go home," Serkan murmured.

They went hand in hand to Serkan's car. Shortly after they arrived at Serkan's apartment which was now their home. Serkan even went as far as carry a laughing Eda over the threshold. They got Eda's suitcase into the bedroom upstairs and fixed a light late dinner together. Even though they had had a small wedding reception with their loved ones, neither of them had touched any food, too wired to eat. So they were both pretty hungry. After having eaten, they started cleaning up together. Perfect team work with Eda washing the dishes and Serkan drying them.

Eda rinsed the last plate and handed it to Serkan, who was standing to her right, facing the stairs leading to the second level of the apartment. Serkan started drying the plate but his gaze was fixed on the stairs, his brows furrowed, as if he was calculating something.

"What's wrong?" Eda asked him softly.

"Nothing. Nothing's wrong. Just thinking".

"What are you thinking about?"

"It's a good thing you haven't packed your stuff and we haven't moved it here. Because we're gonna need to find a new place," Serkan said, still looking at the stairs, but with a hint of suspicion and weird hostility.

"What? Why? What's wrong with this place?"

"Well, these stairs, for one. Look at them. They're not fit for children. They're dangerous".

Eda's could swear that her brain short circuited.

"Children? What children?"

"Our children," Serkan said without even blinking.

He said it with such calm and confidence that Eda couldn't help but smile.

"Oh, we have some children I don't know about?" she asked teasingly.

Her words made Serkan tear his gaze from the stairs. He got a bit flustered, the tips of his ears turning slightly red.

"Well, I mean... I mean when we have children. When we decide that we're ready. Then. Then we'll have to... You know... Make sure there are no... dangerous stairs".

"Yeah, definitely. We will. But now is not the time. I mean, I need to finish my education first, get my degree. And you have so much work, so many projects".

"Of course. You will get your diploma. And there's your dream to go to Italy. We will go together. And then... well..."

"And then, yes. We will grow our family," Eda agreed with a smile.

Serkan gifted her with a somewhat shy smile of his own.

"You know, I never thought about kids. I never really wanted to be a father. But with you... With you I want it all," he confessed.

"Our feelings are mutual, Serkan Bolat. One day".

"One day," Serkan nodded.

"But before that I think we should practise," Eda said with a wink and pulled on Serkan's hand, leading him to the stairs and to their bedroom.

Loving You Through It All

Summary: Bitten AU

Betrayed by love Eda promised she wouldn't ever go back home. She never wanted to see him again but when her family calls asking for help what else was she supposed to do.

She returns home unaware of the secrets being kept from her and truth that will destory the life she has built for herself away from the one man she could never forget, Serkan Bolat.

Loosely based on Bitten.

A/N: I couldn't get the idea of a bitten au with Edser out of my head and so this was written in to existence.

Eda didn’t think she would come back here. She swore to herself she would never step foot in Haven again, but here she was.

Stepping out of the cab, hauling her duffle bag over her shoulder, she walked down the path, pushing the iron gate and stepping onto the dirt gravel road that led to the stone mansion she was more familiar than any home she grew up in as a child.

She stopped at the circle drive, her mind flashing back to the first time she ever came here.

She had been nervous, clutching tightly to Serkan’s hand as he carried their bags.

“Do you think he’ll like me?”

“Everyone likes you.” He replied, not missing a beat.

Eda tugged at hand, pulling him to a stop. “Serkan, I’m serious. This is the man who raised you. He’s the closest thing you have to a father. I want him to like me,”

Serkan tugged her close, his hand going to the back of her neck, his lips descending on hers in a kiss that was meant to wipe away all her concerns. “He’s going to love my you, there is no way he won’t be taken with my fiance.”

“Fiance?” Eda repeated in surprise as he got down on one knee. Her hand shot to cover her mouth, tears filling her eyes.

Serkan pulled a box from his pocket and opened it to reveal a gorgeous flower engagement ring. “Eda Yildiz, will you do me the greatest honor and spent the rest of your life with me?”

Eda nodded her head, words momentarily lost to her.

“Is that a yes?” Serkan took the ring out of the box.

“Yes,” Eda gave an exuberant laugh.

The second Serkan slipped the ring onto her finger, she tugged him to his feet and threw her arms around him.

Serkan laughed joyously as his arms engulfed, picking her clean off her feet and swinging in a circle.

The second he set her back into feet, Eda pulled him down to meet her in a passionate kiss.

His hand wrapped around her ponytail and she jumped up, wrapping her legs around his waist, the passion consuming them.

Eda shook her head, clearing it of the memory. The last thing she wanted to do was think of Serkan.

He was a part of her past the desperately wanted to forget.

Episode 19 thoughts

- I love the boys vs. girls scenes! The similarly layered conversations that occur are an absolute delite to watch!

- Engin making Serkan PANIC over Eda finding another man! Like he really didn’t think so until at this point! But also, Melo trying to make her eniste really panic!

- Selin really trying to play house with Serkan.... *eye roll*

- Their individual monologues caused me pain. They want each other so bad. To only be each other’s. To only look and smile at each other. And yet, those words only remain in their hearts, unable to find escape into this world, held back by the circumstances they are currently entangled in. As true and bright as the day but hidden in the darkness of the night deep within their hearts.

- AIDAN PLAYING CUPID FOR EDSER? I begged for this and I’m actually receiving it? I’m shook.

- Ferit suspecting Efe? I was taken back by it, didn’t see that coming!

- KIDS IN LOVE, they are literal children in love! Their sarcastic responses give me life!

- The tension at that breakfast table would cause me so much anxiety!

- HE CUT THE BREAD FOR HER OUT OF HABIT....I literally can’t deal with them! They cause me too much pain!

- He’s gonna name that horse Eda. I just know it. And I’m gonna fall to pieces.

- My heart broke for Aidan after listening to the story. Her guilt toward the loss of her elder son was so strong and powerful that it caged her in her home. A mother’s pain is incomparable. It’s understandable how Aidan may have blamed herself for being missing in her son’s life and why she tries to be involved in Serkan’s. She wants to be involved and stay connected with her Serkan in a way she wasn’t able to for his brother. But by sending Serkan away at a young age by himself, she distanced herself from him. It’s not his fault he doesn’t trust anyone because the two people who he was supposed to trust in life abandoned him in trying to deal with their own pain while neglecting his needs. I’m not blaming Aidan/Alptekin because it’s his easy to judge from the outside. It’s such a deep and realistic way that these characters represent the dynamics and struggles of a traumatic event and the aftermath. Serkan’s inability to trust and fear of abandonment is real and justified based on his past. Aidan’s fear of leaving the house is justified due to the circumstances in which Alp died. Alptekin’s strictness toward Serkan can be explained by the fact that he lost his elder son (who he clearly named after himself) due to an illness and he fears he might lose Serkan too. Which also makes me think, did Serkan really have an illness in the past? I means he’s a bit of a hypochondriac but I’m thinking maybe just because of his brothers illness, Serkan got conditioned to thinking and living a certain healthy way to protect himself.

- I’m glad Aidan told Eda this because I think it might make Eda open her eyes a bit more. I’m not expecting Eda to forgive and forget but I think it might explain to her why Serkan is the way he is.

- If you ask me, Serkan was pretty fair in asking Efe to claim his mistake in front of the team. Serkan built and has lead this team to such a great standard and Efe ruined that in minutes. They rightfully deserved an apology. And Engin being pissed and backing up Serkan as the BEST FRIEND HE IS.

- Serkan being honest about his feelings and wanting to improve things with Eda was such a good thing to see. It may have taken him some time to get there but I’m glad that he’s come to terms with the fact that he can’t be without her. More so, he doesn’t want her to be with anyone else. Serkan is hopeful about their relationship and I think that’s the first time since their breakup. He isn’t trying to convince himself or anyone that they are over with completely. And I think what Engin said really resonated with him. If they can overcome the truth, it’s true love. If not, it’s over.

- His seriousness went out the window as soon as he realized the flowers were for Eda, HAHAHAH! He said burn the flowers! He’s such an idiot

- HE REALLY DRAGGED HER FROM THE CHAIR, I’M DEAD! freaking children behavior!

- Serkan is really trying to keep the truth from reaching Eda from anyone but him but everything really seems to be going against him! Let me tell you, my heart broke when Serkan mentioned his fathers mistake taking away Eda from him. He cannot catch a break!

- Aidan burning Alptekin’s clothes was so funny!

- Why is Selin trying to dig! Let my man Serkan handle this!

- Efe doesn’t know.... did I read that scene right?

- He’s gonna record their conversation! EFE, YOU SNAKE!

- SO IT IS THE GRANDMOTHER AMD SHE DID SENT EFE FOR REVENGE. But it seems like she wasn’t sure but sent Efe to investigate. She’s gonna use that recording to kill Serkan’s career! IT IS GOING TO BE NON-STOP DRAMA.

- Eda making Serkan jealous like that was hilarious! She really created a whole jealousy scene with that man!

- Eda and Aidan play off each other so well at this dinner, it’s hilarious! The way they are setting these ladies straight!

- The way his eyes lit up when she said she’s in love with him still! It’s like he can’t actually believe that! Idk but I found it weird how Eda didn’t want to even listen to Serkan as he tried to talk to her. I mean up until now, all she’s wanted is for him to talk and open up and now that he’s spent the whole day trying to do so, she just ignored his calls or runs away when the opportunity is there. It’s so not like Eda! I get that she’s given him chances before and he’s missed them and she probably doesn’t want to waste any more time giving him empty chances but I feel like Eda used to understand Serkan’s tone and words but it’s like... she just doesn’t recognize in his tone how much he really wants to talk to her. It seems like a character downplay to me for Eda.

- I’m not that invested in Ferit/Ceren, but that was cute, mostly because I want Ceren to be happy! But I swear, this whole Selin/Ferit crap ruins everything! My girl Ceren deserves better!

- He loves her so much, he’s just playing along with her! He’s so in love with her!he really just said have fun, but don’t dance with anyone! And THAT CONFESSION. He said everything with his whole chest. And she didn’t hear! They will be the death of me!

- He took the bottle! Lol bruh, you gonna need at least 2 bottles to get over this mess!

- Selin really trying to come on to Serkan while he’s drunk and he just straight up says, I need Eda. How does she not get the message!

- YES CEREN! YOU TELL HIM GIRL! I mean for real, what did he expect! But I will say I appreciate that Ferit was honest and didn’t lead Ceren on any further and just came out with it.

- HE IS SO DRUNK, I LOVE IT! Eda is fascinated by his drunk state, he’s so cute, she can’t help but melt! That was such a cute way of involving the title of the show! And that scene is sooo cute!

- Her carrying him up the stairs and complaining that he’s heavy. Him being wasted out of his mind and saying off the wall stuff. I LIVED FOR THIS SCENE. PURE COMDEY. PURE EDSER. I WANT MORE.

- THE SHOWER SCENE. That’s it? That’s all we get? I’M SOOO PISSED! The trailer made it seem like such a scene and then they give us this? The frack? That is unacceptable! That was such a wasted opportunity! THEY WOULD’VE KILLED THAT SCENE! AND HONESTLY IT WOULD’VE SAVED THE EPISODE! Ughhhhhhhhhh

- AHHHH SHIT! She got her hands on Eda’s family, that’s it. It’s over.

- See what I mean. Somehow, Eda didn’t understand Serkan. Serkan never really had a good way of putting with words but Eda understood and didn’t completely twist it around. I honestly think Eda’s jealousy of Selin really makes her so paranoid that she’s able to twist around to justify her insecurity in regards to Selin. Which I just don’t get. I mean Eda did have that kind of dynamic with Selin but she was never super jealous or anything. She always had a way fighting back against Selin and still being confident. I just can’t seem to understand where all of the sudden, it’s turned into this.

- It’s out. The secret is out. But definitely not how it should have been. It should not have been from Selin. Selin seems remorseful about it but I don’t buy it. And Serkan looks like his whole world just shattered. And bless Eda. She’s about to really go through it. The last scene was sooooo well acted! I loved the tension, the angst, the anger!

- One thing that I really need to see happen is Eda/Serkan working on their communication skills. Because they suck at it. They are both indirect and never really say what they want and mean straight up. Since the beginning both of them expect each other to understand with signs or by indirect words and it was cute at first but now it’s annoying. Like two people in love should be able to tell each other anything and SHOULD tell each other everything as it is, free from judgement. I don’t want an argument and then they make up in one of their houses. I want them to talk out their issues, their perspectives! Because both of them have quite opposite views and beliefs so it’s very important for them to say everything out loud to each other. Otherwise, their chemistry and relationship is just gonna be for a show and not hold real value and show and realistic aspect to it.

Overall: A really good episode even though some parts did feel lagged. So the big explosion (one of them) has happened. Now we wait to see the aftermath. Honestly at first I used to think that I would know how certain characters would react but now I don’t know. It’s not easy to say where they will take the characters or the storyline so we’ll see! Tbh, Hande and Kerem are really carrying this show with their scenes and acting so I would love to see them get justice with their scenes! The show at some parts feels like random and misplaced but it’s still enjoyable! Like there’s no need for all these side character storylines right now, like give Eda/Serkan their full scenes in full cut and let it play out! Once everything is more wrapped up, you can add the side storylines! It’s still an enjoyable and fun show and definitely makes me laugh and keep me on the edge of my seat but there’s just some moments when the magic seems missing!

Thoughts from episode 9 of Sen Cal Kapimi:

Serkan getting distracted by the dress and needing to buy it for Eda was so adorable.

Sirius with Eda's things 🥰 Also Serkan somehow thinking that Sirius tucked the handcuffs in the bag by himself? 🤣🤣

Seyfi is us with EdSer and I'm 100% here for it!

Serkan handcuffing and stealing Eda away to the mountain house? 🥺🥺❤❤

The chopping wood, we see you Serkan trying to show off for Eda, and don't you deny looking Eda!

That rain moment!!! *chef's kiss* so much tension!

Eda spraying Serkan with mace while wearing just a towel (You know he's upset that he missed that!) And then eventhough she's pissed at him she still takes care of him.

That whole moment with him wanting her to take care of him longer and Eda calling his bluff 🥰🥰

Only one bed! There's only one bed!!!!

The waking up together and smiling without the other seeing.

Omg that facetime, Serkan's face when he realized they could see him 🤣🤣🤣🤣 And Ayfer teasing him about spending the night together!

The girls night and the guys night out, so cute, also seemed very like bachelor/bachelorette parties.

Serkan seeing Eda helping his mom leave the house!❤❤❤

Also Aydan's description of Eda and Serkan readily agreeing to it 🤣🤣🤣

Serkan telling Aydan they need to talk about his brother 😢😢😢. Their family doesn't handle emotions well or talking about things, it's not what they do. But the fact that Serkan has now willingly spoken of his brother twice (once with Eda and now), and that he cut short the "No Serkan Bolat" day means he's willing to try and grow emotionally, and that he wants to heal with his family. For someone who has been described as a robot, a task master, ruthless, etc. these are enormous steps!

I'm glad that Selin was getting a taste of her own medicine this episode. How many times has Ferit wanted to talk to her, spend time with her and she's ignored him, lied or found excuses?

Oh Engin what are we going to do with you? I'm hoping that after their dinner together Ceren and Piril will have bonded over how hopeless he is. Which of course will make Engin squirm and try to figure out what is going on.

The fact that Serkan made the terrarium by himself, with guidance from Ayfer 🥰🥰🥰 He put his heart into it, even if he doesn't quite realize that himself.

All Serkan knows is that he doesn't want to let Eda go, that he doesn't want to not have her be a part of his life.

Oh yes let's all continue to hide behind the contract, the one where several of the rules have totally been broken!

I'm honestly thinking he's been carrying that ring around since she gave it back. He wanted to he able to put it back on her finger (also can we talk about how different the mood was there from when he first put it on her? The hand caress, the smiles🥰🥰)

Dammit Selin and Ferit, just go elope and then tell them! You ruined the moment!!!

[sweetrupturedlight]

This week on Sen Çal Kapımı

Serkan's inability to articulate his feelings for Eda has him literally man down, while Eda contemplates their kinda, sorta, maybe mutual feelings and her future. Other stuff happens, but come on, with this episode, Edser takes centre stage as the ship sets sail on the high seas.

Before we jump right into it, last week in this post, I bulleted the things all of us expected was coming. 

Let’s take one moment to note the glorious ways in which all of these things unfolded?

Nursing back to health

Pining

Severe angst

Breaking point

Dear writers of this show, we appreciate you. We are truly blessed.

Now, on to this week. The episode picks up where we left off, with Selin giving Serkan 2 days to decide whether she drops Ferit like a hot potato on the eve of their wedding. Let’s be clear, she wants to dump a man she is supposed to marry in two days to resume a logical and clinical relationship? Is Selin even in love with Serkan? It doesn’t seem like he treated her very well – but then again, it seems their relationship had a very logical genesis – no sweeping romantic gestures, no sweet words, no compliments it would seem! etc. So objectively I’m not sure what exactly makes that prospect better than the one with Ferit – who clearly does love and care for her. But I digress. 

Essentially, this is how it plays out:

Selin: “Let me know in max 2 days if you want to be with me, k.”

Serkan: ...

Eda: Simply exists.

Serkan: Stares directly at Selin as he deliberately grasps Eda’s hand and holds on for dear life.

Now, they say actions speak louder than words... so how is Selin still not clear on the fact that Serkan not rushing to end her marriage means he’s not interested???

Anyhoo, Serkan and Eda spend most of the episode circling around the same.

Did you say yes to Selin?

What is your opinion on my situation with Selin?

Would you stay?

I can’t stay because… reasons

If either one of these to love-struck puppies took a second to reflect, they would realise that they actually have the answers already. Eda in fact, does consider for a minute that Serkan might actually have feelings for her. Serkan however, is convinced Eda cannot wait to get out of his life - which makes his bold move at the end of the episode a great moment for his own growth as a character. He was operating on his feelings and taking an emotional risk, having no idea how she actually felt. Yes, he had the note she left, but up until 20 minutes earlier, he was still fighting Engin on the notion that she could genuinely have feelings for him.

Speaking on Engin, writers, I have faith that we will see Engin mercilessly tease Serkan in the next episode about his heart eyes and his newfound familiarity with the language of love. This is likely going to bring great comedic gold. Its also not lost on me that Engin can so easily see the love between Serkan and Eda, but is totally clueless about his own romantic entanglements. To be honest, I’m not invested in this romance, so whomever he ends up with - or doesn’t - is fine by me.

Listen, I’m high key bursting at the fact that Eda and Serkan both already see the other in their bed(s). Them facing “each other” with longing was one of the smaller moments of the episode, but one of my favourites. And because this show is so good at parallels, I’m putting it out there that we will get a scene of them sharing a bed without Serkan needing to turn his back to her, but also without Serkan ruining the mood once daybreak arrives. Eda is a snuggler and she loves to sleep. I’m looking forward to bedroom shenanigans. Also, can Eda (and Engin) find the pictures of them he’s clearly carrying around in his wallet at this point? Please and thank you.

SIDE NOTE: according to Laila, Serkan has a conference in London “next week” which has been reserved for two people. Since I’m going out on a limb and saying Serkan won’t be travelling with Selin, will Eda accompany him to the UK? One can only hope for a honeymoon romantic getaway business trip.

Adore the “don’t leave” parallels that the show has been dropping like golden nuggets for the past few weeks. Serkan has spent multiple episodes in a struggle with himself. If Eda wants to leave, he insists its not his style to ask her to stay. But by episodes end he is so frenzied at the thought of his life without her, he’s ready and willing to say it m u l t i p l e times. We love a glow up.

Things I loved about this episode:

The handhold 5 seconds in & Eda’s impulsive kiss on his cheek.

The super cheesy let’s-randomly-turn-on-the-radio-and-awkwardly-listen-to-the-exact-song-describing-our entire-love-story. The way I was lapping it up with shovel. Also, Başak Gümülcinelioğlu’s (aka the actress playing Piril) song Sen Çal Kapımı is beautiful. All the fanvids, all the time please oh talented vidders.

Serkan’s meltdown at the office the minute he realised she’s about to leave. Hilarious. I truly enjoy seeing him a little off kilter and a lot out of control. Just looking at how his employees have relaxed since he’s been more relaxed - due to Eda’s influence - is a great subtle storytelling mechanism as well.

Immensely enjoyed Nurse Eda - especially her traditional approach to checking temperatures. LOL. Just a comment that despite Eda believing Serkan and Selin are most likely a thing, she refuses to leave his side in deference to Selin. I totally loved seeing her stake her claim. And judging by the never-you-mind, irritated way with which Serkan basically told Selin to move along, Serkan doesn’t want people around when he’s sick - but he certainly wants Eda.

Serkan going from unable to communicate to “you’re constantly in my head, in my every thought! You’ve taken over my brain! You’ve taken over my entire life!” #FlingsSelfIntoTheSun

THE KISS. Beautiful cinematography, beautiful direction, gorgeous cast, amazing script. Loved everything about it.

Things that broke/confused me

Serkan being a complete dolt and instead of enjoying the woman he loves cuddled up beside him, he takes the time to reiterate that he doesn’t remember their conversation from the night before. SMH. Eda was about to risk it all one last time, and Serkan’s poorly timed dose of realness is the final straw.

The tears in his eyes when she left the office. He was still fighting being vulnerable, even after Eda basically gave him the roadmap with an x for how to achieve success. Thankfully, by episodes end his own desperation at potentially losing her outweighed his “logic” and self preservation. Eda is teaching Serkan that its okay to need other people and that he doesn’t have to shoulder everything alone. #MyEndlessFloodOfTears

Aydan being unable to see how very much Serkan loves Eda and her - bordering on delusional at this point - push for Serkan to marry a woman who inspires no passion, no interest, no life, no spark in him! I understood it initially. But now it’s just comical. Seyfi is clearly team #Edser. I know the Bolat’s have a history of trauma. But pushing Serkan into a loveless marriage, while hurting Ferit and potentially Eda (and Serkan himself) seems absurd to me.

Ayfer’s reaction to the contract was OOT IMO. The show has been quite light handed with drama and this was the first time I thought the hysterics was over done. I understand that it was a shock, I understand that feelings of betrayal and hurt are natural. But a moment of reflection - as well as allowing Eda to explain - would have easily highlighted what Ayfer already knows - that there is a lot more happening between Eda and Serkan than a mere contract. Furthermore, this “Serkan Bolat is the devil incarnate here to take advantage of our poor Eda” is ridiculous. Serkan is a good person - logical and sometimes aloof - but he isn’t devious. If anything, Ayfer getting to know him during their terrarium creating afternoon left her with a good impression of who he is. So unless there are missing scenes somewhere, her suddenly being anti-Serkan feels like a necessity to serve the upcoming plot, as opposed to an organic happenstance. Not my favourite development. This includes her orchestrating Eda’s scholarship in Italy. Feels out of character. But let’s see how it all plays out.

Things I know is coming:

From the fragman, Serkan names a star or something after her #squee

Selin finally getting it

Aydan not getting it

Seyfi being over the moon - along with Melo no doubt

D R A M A about parents and death and cover-ups but I’m ignoring that for now

And most importantly:

Dating

Kissing

Hugging

Giggles

Sorry if this is too personal of a question. You don't have to answer this if you don't want to. What's it like having EDS?

It’s okay! I don’t mind at all! I’m actually holding pretty steady now that i’m out of school if i do my physical therapy everyday and go to my chiropractor once a week. The most difficult parts of dealing with it are pretty typical of most chronic illnesses, like having to plan a lot in advance, having to cancel plans often, having to pace yourself more than you would like, dealing with people who don’t understand your disability, etc. Then there’s the illness itself. Physically, it feels kind of like the day after you work out too hard. Not the good soreness, but the feeling where you know you overdid it, because that’s essentially what’s happening. The muscles and joints just get overtaxed. And it seems to move depending on which injuries hurt the most, at least for me. Sometimes it just feels more like you’re carrying weights than an actual pain. It’s just very tiring. There are a lot of co-morbid diseases, too. For me, the biggest one is depression. EDSers generally have problems with out adrenal gland, so we’re really shallow sleepers and tend to have very vivid dreams. The pain tends to follow me into my dreams so I have a lot of nightmares. These two things really affect my sleep, which is the main reason I suffer from depression. That’s the most basic stuff about how it’s affected me. Feel free to ask more questions if you’d like. I really don’t mind. It’s nice to advocate for my illness. :)

Sen Çal Kapimi Emoji/ Summary Theories

I said in my last Sen Çal Kapimi theory post that once the emoji’s and summary came out I might do a follow up post on anymore theories so well here it is. Obviously if you don’t want any spoilers for episode 21 skip past this post. 

So this is the summary for the episode:

Serkan and Eda continue to wait for each other in separate venues. After a while both of them run out of hope and they get up. While Eda tells the girls that she will not believe in Serkan again, Serkan tells Engin that he will never stop trying. The next day, when Eda goes to work, she gets an offer to be the face of the campaign run by İnci Smiley Girls Association . The same offer was made to Serkan. While Serkan refuses without thinking, Eda tells Serkan that she will attend the photo shoot. Ayfer, who learns the secret that Alptekin has kept, goes to Aydan's house to face it, and when she goes to Aydan's house, she encounters a scene she never expected and has to help Aydan. Meanwhile, Serkan is looking for a way to join the campaign he refused to be with Eda. On the other hand, Aydan also makes plans to bring Serkan and Eda together, but these plans become so disrupted that even she herself has a hard time getting out of it.

And here are the emoji’s:

The wonderful thing about these emoji’s is there are plenty of love hearts in there which makes me really optimistic about the episode and Edser’s future. But I’m going to try and use the summary to decipher the emoji’s along with everything else we already know. 

One thing I do want to cover first real quick is that I said in my other post (which you can read here if you like) that I thought the asking for eda’s hand scenes in the first fragman were a misunderstanding and not them actually asking for her hand and alot of that was based on how Fifi was at the house but not in the group photo well as you can see from this pic:

 I was wrong and Fifi is in the picture I just didn’t notice it in the Fragman. Now this doesn’t mean that I think this rules out that theory from the summary we know Eda is taking part in a photoshoot for the Girls association and that Serkan gets involved in it too so it could be to do with that. That being said having seen the emoji’s I am less sure that this is definitely not real which I’ll explain more later. 

 Ok on to diciphering the emoji’s I think the first angry looking one is pretty self explanatory I think this is because Serkan and Eda believe they have been stood up by the other. Now according to the summary they both have very different reactions. Serkan refuses to give up but Eda basically says she is done with Serkan and seems very angry. It is possible that the first three emojis is in relation to this situation and is a representation of their reactions. First is Eda’s anger, the second and third could be Serkan first feeling anxious about Eda’s reaction and her possibly leaving but also how he is still in love and not willing to give up yet. 

The next two emojis of the blonde haired woman and the sly face I think are in relation to Aydan and her plan to get Serkan and Eda back together. In the summary it says that she makes plans to bring them together but that they go so wrong that she herself gets trapped in it all which to me sounds like its going to be a barrel of laughs so I’m really looking forward to it, no doubt poor Seyfi will also get all caught up in the trouble too. 

The next three emojis I’m less sure about. The detective could be if Serkan and Eda have figured out that someone meddled in their dinner plans then it could be them doing some detective work to figure out who did. However the summary talks about Serkan tries to find away to get involved in the photoshoot so he is near Eda so this could also be what the detective emoji is representing. 

Again the paper emoji could have a couple of meanings, It could be the contract between Serkan and Eda. Maybe Eda points out that Serkan is breaking the contract by trying to use the photoshoot to get near her and he argues that its for work, or maybe they make a change to the contract or even possibly put an end to it if by this point in the episode they have made up. The other thing it could be to do with though is the letter we see Seline writing in the second fragman. Maybe a resignation letter and explaining that she switched the addresses?

The praying hands I really don’t have much of a clue on what that could mean. Maybe someone asking for forgiveness? Possibly Serkan asking Eda to forgive him. Or we know from the summary that Ayfer is going to Aydan’s to face Alptekin, obviously he’s not there but maybe she meets him later in the episode and its Alptekin asking for forgiveness. Personally I think its more likely to be Serkan asking Eda for forgiveness. 

The suitcase and the laughing face I am certain is because Aydan is going to move in or stay with Ayfer and naturally we are going to get some really funny moments between the two of them. 

The camera could obviously represent the photoshoot Eda will be taking part in. And the obvious conclusion is that the scene of the group picture is that photoshoot. But I have some doubt about that because I feel like the photoshoot will be more staged and professional than a group photo taken in someone’s living room. I’m thinking more photography background, lights and all that in a studio especially if its for a magazine which I think it is because although I can’t be positive I think the association they are talking about in the summary is Aydan’s group and they have mentioned a few times now about wanting Eda to be the face of that magazine. While I do think the photo is probably to be included in the magazine I don’t think it’ll be the main photoshoot if that makes sense. 

Ok so I specifically want to talk about these emojis. These emojis are where I have a theory but I’m trying to not get my hopes up too high :

These emoji’s I actually think are representing the scene from the first fragman where it looks like Aydan and Serkan have come to ask for Eda’s hand. Here’s how I think it’ll play out based on the emojis. The flowers I think is the tradition of bringing flowers and chocolates when asking for a brides hand, I mentioned in my other post that in the first fragman Melo is seen carrying flowers and a wrapped gift which could be chocolates. The next shocked/ dismayed looking emoji I think is Ayfer’s reaction to this, as we saw from the fragman Ayfer is not happy about the prospect of them asking for Eda’s hand. The next emoji I was a little confused about because I haven’t ever actually seen it before so I looked it up and it’s supposedly the revolving hearts emoji and usually represents reciprocated love. So I think in respose to Ayfer’s concerns Eda and Serkan will say that they are in love with each other and Eda will assure Ayfer that she returns Serkan’s feeling and this is what she wants. Now the side eye emoji usually represents drama and if we know Ayfer I don’t see her just shrugging and giving in at that moment and I think we will see that scene of Ayfer and Aydan arguing at that moment and that’s what the eyes and the laughing face mean. I feel like seeing the two woman arguing back and forth will be really funny, there might also be other characters involved in the comedy to. The check mark I think means Ayfer will eventually come around and will give approval for Eda and Serkan to get engaged. The heart eyes emoji will be Edser being all happy and in love and the coffee cup is the salting the coffee tradition. Now whether this is a real engagement or staged for the magazine I’m not sure, but for now I’m choosing to live in my lovley little dream world and hope it is real. 

To be honest I don’t really have any other ideas on what this series of emojis might mean. The asking for the hand scene from the fragman in my opinion just fits this set of emoji’s too well. The coffee could possibly represent a coffee scene in a cafe somewhere between Edser where they talk things through but I’m not sure about any of the others. 

So the last three emoji’s are a scarf, heart and kissing face. The scarf makes me think of that scene from episode 19 where Edser go walking in the autumn rain and Serkan gives Eda his scarf. I think we might get a similar scene where Eda and Serkan go for a walk together in the autumn evening all wrapped up warm. I think it’ll be a lovely and romantic scene and at some point they’ll end up at the elevator and Serkan will try and help Eda with her claustophobia. The loveheart and kissing face emoji does make me hopeful that we will get a kiss. As I said in my other post I do think that Edser would have made up by this point because I think that line of ‘remember us’ is out of place given the situation if they haven’t. Of course I could be totally wrong about that. But another reason why I think that maybe they have made up is actually because of Melo and her assuming that Serkan is there to ask for Eda’s hand. I was thinking about it and as it stands at the moment Melo knows that Eda and Serkan are broken up and in a bad place, also from the summary we know Eda goes home from the restaurant and tells the girls that she will never believe in Serkan again. So given how bad their relationship is why on earth would Melo assume that something as serious as an engagement was about to happen? Unless of course Serkan and Eda have already made up and Melo is aware of this. 

Whatever does or doesn’t happen in the episode I still think this is going to be a really great episode with lots of Edser goodness and funny moments, we have quite a few rather tense, heartbreaking episodes so it’ll be nive to have a much more lighthearted one. I personally am really excited for the episode.

@middle-eastern-queen Yea but I mean as someone who has experienced falling in love with someone she wasn’t supposed to, and how the person left her etc. I do get what she was saying to an extent and mind you I’m basing this on horrid subs, but here was an opportunity for her to have a self reflection and go don’t do what he did to me, tell her and let her decide. But she was against them from the start and no amounts of her Eda is a good girl, she’s nice etc will help in the fact that she’s basically become a classist. But she changes her tune once they find out that Eda’s paternal grandma is rich.

Like I know this is for dramatics but I’ve been struck by how often we do this in real life, evade or reason away something whether for greater good or whatever we tell ourselves but essentially we’re fucking with lives. Even Eda being who she is and being rightfully angry with those who she deems took her parents away could have the opportunity to over come it. I had a very horrible thing happen to me and i was so angry with the person responsible, like I thought I hated them but then when I came face to face with this person I realized I felt sorry for this person, that I carried around all this hate for nothing and it harmed only me. I dunno I guess I would like to see these kinds of tropes being played with, healthy mindset. I’m sorry if I’m not articulating myself clearly, I’m all fired up and typing on my phone is hard.

And I’m super annoyed with Ayfer as well cause wtf?! She’s stressing on a another level, you know how Eda saud date touched her parents well fuck me Ayfer touched Edser. 🙄 Now she actually has a “reason” to dislike him. 🤦🏽‍♀️ I cant with real or fictional people. 😂

Ok so am I the only one who is now kinda feeling like Aydan gives terrible advice/ stories? I was all for giving her a chance and here she is pulling from her experience but in a negative way. I know she can’t make Serkan do anything he doesn’t want to do but at the same time he probably took into account what she said. Honestly I’m over the parents in this show.

While I knew this was going to happen, it really just broke my heart for Serkan.
