Chapter Two

Sanem and Emre watched as Leyla paced back and forth in his office. Sanem's inner voice deciding to speak "Whatever is going on it is bad Sanem. I have never seen Leyla like this. She is like a tigress ready to pounce."

Sanem felt all the warmth leave her body, she shook from being chilled. She felt the numbness all the way to her bones.  She knew, she knew in her heart but her inner voice said it "This has to do with what happened between Can and Yigit, you can bet on my words. And Huma has something to do with it also."

Sanem now had tears in her eyes, had she lost Can again because of Huma? She has asked herself the same questions every night, why didn't she take his hand, my didn't she leave with him? She has felt phyicially ill since that night, she knows she is not well but doesn't know what to do about it.

"Leyla" Emre spoke "Maybe if you tell us what is wrong we can help you."

"Oh! I will tell you what is wrong!" she nearly shouted, Sanem looked at Emre who looked totally confused as to why his wife was almost screaming at them.

"Please, sit down and just tell us, no matter how bad it is we will work through it together." He said. She sit down as Emre's phone pinged with a message, he looked at the phone but did not recognize the number, he sat the phone back down but something tugged at his mind, that it might be Can. He picked the phone up and opened the message.

"It's from Can." he said and then read "Wanted you to know and tell Baba, I will be off the grid for a while, I am sailing but I promise to keep in touch."

Emre quickly text back, even before he knew what Leyla was going to say he knew that Can had been wronged "Call me, we need to talk, Leyla found out something about Yigit."

The phone pinged but it was not Can but Umar "Sorry, this is Umar, Can's friend, he has already left, asked me not to send this message for a few days, Sorry I got busy and forgot until today. He left the day after he arrived here. If he calls me I will give him the message." 

Emre slumped back in his seat "Leyla, please tell me what is wrong, now of all times is not the time to keep secrets."

She suddenly blurted  out "Yigit can walk!"

"What?" shouted Sanem and Emre at the same time. Leyla went on to tell how she was looking for Sanem and had barely pushed open the door to Yigit's room when she heard the conversation between him and Huma.

"So, I pushed the door open a little further and both of them were standing there looking out the window. I closed the door quickly because Sanem was coming and I didn't want them to know I heard them talking. This whole thing was made up so that Huma could keep the two of you away from each other. Can was right, Yigit has been in love with you since the day he hit you with his car." she now had tears running down her face, Sanem also was crying.

 Emre on the other hand, was furious. Huma was done playing with their feelings, he had always been the one to take up for her but no more. He finally had his Albi back in his life, had made right the wrongs he had done to Sanem and now this. He text his Baba, first and waited for him to reply. Then he made a call to Metin but had to leave a message.

When Aziz text back, he quickly text what was going on and what Leyla had found out, his Baba saying he would catch the next flight to Istanbul, to somehow find Can. 

Aziz then text his Abla, Remide and asked for her help in finding Can, he knew if anyone had the means to locate him it was his sister.

Emre quickly called Umar, he had to leave a message that it is  an emergency that he get in touch with Can, if he knew of anyway to contact him to please do so and let him know that he needed to talk to him as soon as possible.

Looking at his sister-in-law, he knew she could not go back to the Mahalla, Mekvibe would question her all night and the girl looked as if she was about to lose control. "Leyla, take Sanem home, call your Anne and tell her she is spending the night with you because I am working late." Leyla quickly did so, her Anne answering to have Sanem call her tomorrow.

"Emre, what are you going to do?" she asked

"I am going to take care of a few things here, wait for Metin to call me back and  hope that Umar gets in touch with Can."

Sanem whispered "I am sorry."

She turned and walked out the door, Leyla looking after her "I am afraid for her, I have never seen her this lost before. What am I going to do?"

"Baba, has some sleeping pills in his bathroom cabinet, give her one and let her rest. I will be home after I talk to Metin and a friend, who is a physician at the hospital. We need someone to look into Yigit's records and we may need help for Sanem."

Leyla walked out to find Sanem, CeyCey was sitting with her holding her hands as she cried, he looked up at Leyla "She hasn't said a word, just sits here crying."

"I am taking her to my house for the night." Leyla took Sanem's hand and helped to lift her from the chair, as they walked away, she turned back to CeyCey "Are you busy tonight?"

Knowing she needed him, he shook his head no and grab his jacket, holding on to Sanem, who could barely walk, he went with the two sisters.
