A love reborn from the ashes.

28 - Guardian Angels

Mihriban

Finally home, after more than a month I was finally home. Just enough time to leave my suitcases behind the door and I ran to the nearby property to hug my angels.
Who knows how much little Nihat must have grown, I thought.

As I approached, I realized the changes that had taken place on Sanem's property: the lawn had been cut, the windows had been repainted, and then there was a hammock, a swing, a rocking chair....

On the swing at that moment there was Sanem with a man, a beautiful man, lovingly holding little Nihat in his arms.
I was petrified, it could only be the child's father, the famous international photographer, the Can that Sanem had told me about.

I was about to retrace my steps without disturbing that moment when I heard Sanem calling me, I couldn't pretend nothing happened, he came to hug me tightly. We had missed each other so much, I pulled her away from me to look deeply into her eyes, I wanted to make sure she was okay, that she wasn't upset.

She understood my silent question without needing words and nodded reassuringly.
She took me under her arm to make the introductions -

- Can this be my dear friend and neighbor Mihriban Yilmaz
Mirhriban this is .... my friend Can Divit-

I felt myself wavering, I looked up and carefully observed Can's facial features while giving a polite greeting. No, it had to be a coincidence, it couldn't be.

I realized how carefully the place had been decorated, the candles, the flowers, the table set, I couldn't help smiling, there was an air of courtship around here.
It was only right that the boys had a chance to talk, I offered to bring the little one, who I had missed enormously, to my place so that I could leave them alone.

Can was ecstatic while Sanem looked slightly embarrassed but agreed, gave me everything I needed to change him and thanked me for the nice thought.

I hoped things were turning out for the best, Sanem deserved happiness and apparently she could only find it near his albatross.
The question was, would the albatross stay or fly away again?
It couldn't hurt my Sanem anymore, this time it would have to deal with me, I thought on the way home.

For days I had been observing the boy's approach maneuvers, today the lawn, tomorrow the fence, then the hammock, the swing. Well done!

I had witnessed, amused, the work of an entire afternoon to prepare the corner for the romantic dinner under the willow tree.
I have to give him credit, he was working hard.

I had noticed a change in my Sanem since he had arrived, she was being supportive of him, that's for sure, but that veil of sadness that had covered her eyes since I had met her had magically disappeared. Ask, the love!

I just hoped that Can was steadfast in his intent and wouldn't be discouraged, he knew it wasn't going to be easy.

I saw Mihriban coming, she was finally back, I had missed her,
That was Sanem's fault too, he had made a crack in this old heart and now everyone was getting into it, even that gutless Denise and this handsome young man who appeared out of nowhere.

Mihriban picked up the little one and took him home with her, well done girl.

Let the love begin!
