Early Bird (Erkençi Kus)(Part 1)

90. No spoiling of a good mood

Sanem skips down the road after finally finishing in the kitchen back home. She stops at Ayhan's front gate, seeing her with coming out with a laundry basket.

"Good morning best friend!" she sings, grinning and entering before going over to hug her. She wasn't late yet so she could shave off a few minutes for a little chat.

"Good morning," Ayhan chuckles, eyeing Sanem plopping her bag on the table.

"How are you? How did you sleep? I slept very well, at least 6 hours," Sanem rambles with a bright smile as Ayhan takes out a bedsheet.

"Should I even ask the reason behind your joyful exterior this early in the morning?"

Sanem grabs the other half of the sheet and steps back.

"Is it about what you did last night? What happened? Did you catch Mr Can?"

"Oh I caught him!" Sanem beams. "I caught him with his girlfriend Polen!" Sanem roughly shakes the sheet up and down and Ayhan's smile drops.

"What?"

"What 'what'?" Sanem asks, still smiling. "Are you surprised by that? So was I! Did you know, he had a girlfriend from day one, and her name's Polen! He's Polen's boyfriend!" Sanem folds the sheet once and shakes it out again. "He and Polen even came to the 40th anniversary party together," she grinds out, still grinning. "We passed each other, Polen and I, but because I didn't know Polen, I didn't notice Polen. And while I was kissing the Albatross in the dark, Mr Can was probably kissing Polen right next door!" Sanem laughs out loud. "How weird is that, right?" Sanem gives a stunned and staring Ayhan her end of the sheet and puts her hands on her hips. "Next?"

"Er, Sanem," Ayhan starts slowly as she puts the folded sheet to the side. "You mentioned Polen like seven times with very unsettling hysterical undertones - "

"So?"

"And you seem way too happy about what's happening." Ayhan takes out another sheet. "To be honest, it's scaring me a little." Sanem grabs her end and steps back again. "What are you trying to say exactly?"

"Weren't you listening? Polen is Mr Can's girlfriend and she's here."

"But didn't they break up? I thought you said they broke up?" 

"Because that's what they say, but you just wait, they'll make up Ayhan, you'll see!" Sanem winks and nods. "I saw her in person, there's no way they won't make up. She's too  beautiful," Sanem shakes the sheet out, "and perfect!" She was breathing heavily by now, but still grinning. "A long legged, gorgeous woman!"

Ayhan jumps back a step at the sheet hitting her face and ducks.

"They probably already made up last night! If they haven't, I'll make them... I mean, Mr Can will definitely want to make up with Polen, because if he doesn't he's a fool!" Sanem gives her end to Ayhan again. "She's too perfect not to be made up with!"

Ayhan groans, standing upright. "And now you've said the words 'make up' ten different!" She sighs as Sanem grabs another sheet. "Obviously it's bothering you, so tell me, are you upset about this  - "

"On the contrary!" Sanem interrupts. "I feel elated!" She shakes the sheet three times fast. "I have so much energy and happy vibes I feel like running a marathon twice! And I've started writing my novel again. I wrote down everything I was feeling last night." Ayhan nods. "All of it is in the past now. The despair and aching is gone! It's going to be nothing but happiness from now on."

"And what about Mr Can?"

"What about him? I woke up my friend!" Sanem snaps her fingers, laughing. "Sanem finally woke up! Well done to me! I finally realized what kind of women Mr Can is into."
