Ashley's POV:
I first held Hudson's hand to make him feel more comfortable meeting my dad but the second I saw him I was totally afraid of him. So I let go of Hudson's hand. He looks very nervous but my dad was still mad at me.
"Oh, she found the way back home? I see London was not that good Asli thought it is." He frowns but doesn't look at me. Like he's talking to the wall nobody replies. In his laying position, he sits up and looks straight to Hudson.
"Who are you?" He asks him with an angry look. But Hudson is like frozen standing still at the door with wide eyes and not saying a thing.
"Ehm... Hello? Mister, at the door? I'm asking you..." My father asks curiously but still angry. Hudson jumps up and probably came back to this world.
"Umm... I... Umm... I'm..."
"Father, this is Hudson. Carl Greyback's son. He dared to fall for Asli and now he's volunteering to marry her." Amar says.
"That's not true!! We gave them time to prove it and if this works out they marry!" Samir interrupts Amar angrily. At least someone told the truth.
"What?! How in the hell do you let this happen?!" Here it comes. My dad is freaking out as I expected. After lots of tears falling down my cheeks and a big scene of my father, it ended up my brother talking to him alone. 10 minutes have gone and they finally come out. My father wants to speak to me alone now and I enter the room with my heart racing wild and my hands shaking.
"You wanted to talk to me?" I say my voice cracking. I can't but let again tears down but trying to hold them back.
"Come here." He points on the couch next to him. I sit there but don't look him in the eyes. He's silent. Awkwardly silent.
"I first asked how could my own daughter do this to me. How can she be so distracted and make such a big mistake? That's not the way I raised you. But... It was all my fault, I guess. Probably I was too strict with you and shouldn't have arranged your marriage already without even asking you. I did go too far, dear." He breaks the silence without looking at me but on the window next to his bed and more tears fall down because of his words.
"But just one question... and be honest. Do you love him?" He asks and turns to face me.
"Yes." I say almost losing my voice from crying and looking down just not in his eyes. He looks away again.
"Call Carl's son. I want to talk to him. Alone." My dad mumbles. And I nod thinking that he sees it.
As I tell Hudson that my father wants to see me I'm afraid just like he is. He enters the room but no 5 minutes later he comes out again. His look is emotionless and I'm afraid to know why. This time my dad called us all. We all enter the room and he still is in that position I left him minutes ago.
"I except it. He can stay in our house and prove his love for Asli. But... If anything wrong happens... Asli is not allowed to see him ever again and marries Kerem with no hesitation." He says turning to face all of us.
"And if it works out... He'll become our son in law." My father says and I breathe out in relief. It's not even proofed yet but I have a good feeling anyway. My father is a person who knows what he suggests. I trust him at his choices but sometimes he makes mistakes too. One of them was arranging my marriage with my best friend.
The rest of the day we spend with him walking around the hospital and Hudson tries to get to know my father better. I think it's cute how he tries but it's hopeless. The times Hudson tried just asking something my father replied cold. He should stop before my father gets mad. Hudson told me he got 1 month to prove himself. I am lost. This is way too short.
Hudson's POV:
After two days Meredith finally arrived in Zurich. I told Kerem to drive me to the airport and surprise Ashley at home. I really need her but Ashley does too. I guess, we have to share her.
As Meredith sees us at the arrival she jumps to hug me. I feel her familiar hug. It's like she brought Hampstead into my arms. She let's go from my arms softly and looks curiously at Kerem's car.
"Who's this guy?" She points to Kerem standing outside the car and looking on his phone.
"That's that guy Kerem." I tell her madly.
"What?! Kerem? How?" She says and before I can ask her why she walks towards him.
"Kerem?" She says and he smiles at her.
"Oh hi, Meredith!" He says and hugs her. Why the fuck he's hugging my sister?
