Episode 15: "A Night to Remember in Istanbul"

Elia sat on the edge of her bed, her phone glowing in the dim light of her room. Zavier’s message was short but mysterious:

"Pack a bag. We’re leaving for Istanbul. Trust me."

Her heart fluttered with curiosity and anticipation. Istanbul? Why was Zavier taking her there? She barely had time to process the message when the doorbell rang.

Zavier stood at her doorstep, his usual calm confidence reflected in his stormy blue eyes.

“Istanbul?” she asked, raising a brow.

He smiled—a rare, gentle smile that made her pulse quicken. “Some surprises are worth the journey. You’ll understand soon.”

The Flight to Istanbul 🛫🌟

The flight was quiet, the hum of the jet blending with the soft buzz of their unspoken thoughts. Elia stared out of the window as the Bosphorus Strait came into view, the shimmering waters dividing Europe and Asia under a sky painted with the colors of dusk.

As they drove into the heart of the city, the streets of Istanbul glowed with life. Ancient domes and minarets stood tall against the horizon, blending perfectly with modern skyscrapers. The scent of roasted chestnuts filled the air, and distant music echoed through the alleys.

“Zavier, are you ever going to tell me what this is about?” Elia asked, her curiosity getting the better of her.

“Soon,” he promised, his fingers gently brushing hers. “Trust me.”

The Magical Evening by the Bosphorus 🌉✨

The car finally stopped at a luxury hotel overlooking the Bosphorus, its grand façade glowing under the soft light of lanterns. The moment Elia stepped out, she knew this wasn’t an ordinary trip.

“Wait… did you book the entire hotel?” she asked, wide-eyed.

Zavier chuckled, his hand slipping around her waist. “Of course. I didn’t want to share this night with anyone else.”

The staff greeted them warmly and guided them to a private terrace by the water. Fairy lights and candles illuminated the space, and the view of the Bosphorus Bridge sparkling in the distance made it look like a dream. 🌉🌹

Elia’s breath hitched as she took in the sight. “Zavier, what is all this?”

He turned to her, his eyes softening in a way she rarely saw.

“Elia, from the moment I met you, you turned my world upside down. You taught me to love, to feel, to hope again. And now, I can’t imagine my life without you.”

Her eyes filled with tears as his words sank deep into her heart. Then, to her surprise, he knelt on one knee.

“Elia Arif,” he said, holding out a small velvet box. “Will you marry me?” 💍

Her Answer 💖

For a moment, everything stood still. The world around them faded away, leaving only the two of them under the starry sky.

“Yes,” she whispered, her voice barely audible. Then, louder, more sure: “Yes! A thousand times, yes!”

Zavier slipped the ring onto her finger, and the staff erupted into applause. Fireworks lit up the night sky, their reflection dancing on the water as laughter bubbled from her lips. 🎆

They spent the rest of the evening dancing under the stars, savoring a candlelit dinner, and sharing stories until the early hours of the morning. The soft waves of the Bosphorus lapped against the shore, carrying their joy into the night.

“You’ve made me the happiest man alive,” Zavier whispered, holding her close.

“And you’ve made me believe in forever,” Elia replied, her heart brimming with love.

But as perfect as the night seemed, shadows lingered in the distance, waiting for the right moment to strike.
