Hudson's POV:
Kerem and I stare shocked at each other and I immediately head out.
"Meredith, wait!" I yell while running the stairs down. When I see her I grab her arm so she can't run away again. I notice Kerem's footsteps in the backyard. It was such a stressful moment I can't even remember getting outside.
"Meredith, please wait. I can explain what you just heard." I say. It really sounds like in some movies when guys get caught cheating or something.
"Ok. Explain, Hudson!" She says harshly. And I have to admit I'm unsure what to say. I don't want to make her madder. She would tell Ashley anyway so I better think before I talk.
"Monika texted me days ago because she thought Ashley and I broke up. But I told her we marry so she was mad. I had a bad mood that day that's all. She didn't do anything but I'm afraid she texts again and then I get in a bad mood again." I lie. She shouldn't know the real reason. I don't want her to worry about Ashley.
"She just texted you? Do you think I'm dumb? She won't leave just with a text. She's crazy. She needs fucking therapy!" Meredith almost yells. If you would know.
"Stay silent before someone hears you," Kerem says to her. Surprisingly he's ok with me lying to her. I guess he knows just like me that she would tell Ashley.
Meredith promises to not tell Ashley about it but I'm not sure if she really keeps it. I guess she listens to Kerem a lot. I'm an overprotective brother but Kerem has become a close friend of mine so I'm not mad at all.
Hours later Ashley and I finally meet at the mosque. Actually, it doesn't look like a mosque at all. On the left is a second-hand shop and on the right some Turkish restaurant. It has those kebabs Ashley and I once ate for dinner. It's a traditional food of them and it's delicious. Everyone here eats it she says.
When I see Ashley coming out of Amar's car I almost didn't recognize her. She looks completely different and then I realized she has an Islamic robe on. All in dark red. Her hijab, her dress, and even her lipstick. She has a lot more make up than usual on but I still like it on her. She's just breathtaking.
"Wow... A-Ashley. You look... Wow!" I'm almost speechless. She flushes at my reaction and lets out a shy giggle.
"Thank... you, Hudson. You look handsome too." She says nervously smiling. I smile back and rub my neck.
" Let's get started you little romantic beans!" Meredith says and lowkey destroys our moment. Like she always does.
In the mosque, the imam said many things but mostly in Arabic. It wasn't even that long as we finally got out of it after our families took thousands of pictures and congratulated us. Now we're officially married in Islam. I can't even believe it.
I once asked Kerem how this works and he told me that if there is ever a divorce we don't have to go to the mosque again and we're allowed to finally have sexual intercourse. But I couldn't ask him if it's bad if we already had it. Because he doesn't know we had and I don't know if Ashley wants me to tell him that. But she never told me she can't so I guess it's not a problem if we did. I'm just afraid her family finds out.
We actually had our first-time last week so I guess she wanted to do it near the Islamic wedding date so her parents can't find out before it was before if they ever do.
My parents organized a dinner to celebrate our wedding and invited Ashley's whole family and friends. She also invited my whole family from England to the official wedding next week. I never felt this happy in my entire life. I think it's going to be perfect.
Ashley's POV:
One week. We're for one week married now. I mean Islamic but still, we are married for me already. I can't wait for our wedding tomorrow. Meredith and I already bought my wedding dress. It's just unbelievable. It's heart-shaped on top and has a lot of glitters. It's very long in the back but long enough in the front so I can walk easily. It was very expensive but there are real diamonds in it. My high heels are just plain white because nobody can see my feet anyway. They're not even so high because I can't walk on them for long. And I made an appointment for the stylist. I hope nothing is going to become a mess. It's my day! I want it perfect of course.
I woke up feeling unwell and minutes later I had to vomit. I hope I won't get sick. Meredith comes into the bath.
"Sweetie? Are you ok?" She asks worriedly. Meredith immediately grabs my hairtail.
"Yes, it's ok. Maybe I just ate something bad yesterday." I say still sitting in front of the toilet.
"Honey, are you maybe...?" She doesn't end the sentence but I know exactly what she means.
"No, I don't think so. We have prevented every time." I say but a hidden voice in my head asks the same question.
"When have you done it at least?" She asks worriedly.
"Almost one week ago. And that was the second time. It can't be, Meredith. Don't scare me!" I say and stand up harshly to go to my room. She follows me and closes the door after we arrived.
"I don't want to scare you I'm just worrying. But actually, you shouldn't be worried at all. You are a trained childcare worker. You should love kids!" She says trying to calm me.
"I do love them but that doesn't mean I want children already. I first want to enjoy life with my lovely husband." I say and we both giggle.
The whole day was just stressful organizing the wedding. But finally, the day has come. The day I was waiting for all the time. Our wedding day.
I get myself ready and go to the stylist early in the morning. After some hours I look so different and filled with makeup in my face. My hair is tied up. But differently tied up like an actual bride. I am a bride! I still can't believe that I'm a bride.
When I get at home I see Camille in the living room. And as I want to say hi and surprise her and Meredith with my look I see Damon sitting next to her.
"Oh my Gosh! I'm so happy you both came!" I scream of happiness and Camille jumps up surprised to hug me tight.
"I can't believe, how gorgeous you look!" Camille yells back and Meredith shows the same reaction. Damon is shy as always but I hug him anyway. I forgot about their relationship but I'm they came together.
After hours of girls talk and getting ready, the time has come to get to the wedding hall. I'm nervous but excited. I can't wait to see Hudson. But as I get in every one of his family is stressing. Nobody knows why except Kerem. He looks like he knows something but doesn't tell. When he sees me he immediately walks towards me and grabs my wrist. We walk out of the hall and he still looks serious. I feel something bad. Very bad. As he finally stops when we're alone and breaks the silence.
"Hudson is missing." He says and my heart stops beating.
I see black.
