Erkenci Kuş is a rom-com-drama from Turkey. It surely packs a punch with the main leads & supporting cast, music & literature references, eccentric characters & great plot lines!
Turkey is where east meets west and there's that appeal & something fo...
We've had the most blissful past few months together, celebrating us, with family & friends, pursuing our passions & hobbies.... and loving each other tenderly and fiercely! We're both like a puzzle that fits together....building a graceful rhythm : I save her from the perils of the planet and she saves me from the perils of myself!

In the last 5 years, the agency has doubled in size and revenues. We now have a full on Talent Management and PR department managed by Ceycey; one of our first clients is the rising star, our dear friend actor and artist, Osman.
Apart from her brand and marketing work, Sanem's an über successful romance novelist and decorated speaker. She mentors and hires talent from all walks of life, including our mahoul (community), identifying and grooming from some tremendous overlooked potential! I credit the success of the agency to the fact that we're diverse in exploring creative and unorthodox avenues to surround ourselves with innovative & great ideas.
..
Sanem & I are attracting even more tabloid & press interest than we did before... owing to our philanthropic work and increasing public profiles. We've been branded a "power couple" and have a new moniker "CaNem"!!
I find it fascinating.... but we are CaNem, two bodies, one unified soul!

It's New Years day 2023. Yesterday evening was awesome celebrating with family, friends, fireworks & food....such fun! Can is away most of the day cooking & serving food at a soup kitchen for the homeless. He must've left early without waking me up... I did sleep until noon after all. He's left me chai on my nightstand and a sweet handwritten note : "Good Morning Love" with a single red rose.... so romantic and thoughtful. I feel guilty about not joining him.... but I did party a bit too hard! I'm awake now.... and refreshed and nothing to do but wait for him to return.
Inspiration hits me... and I do have time on my hands! So I quickly gulp down the tea, freshen-up and hunt for something to wear. I find his t-shirt on the hook.... and what can make a girl feel more comfortable than her man's clothes?! It still fits me lopsided... and it smells of him, musky, full-on man... it almost feels like his hugs!
I stroll into the garden, looking for winter flowers and the jasmines are in full bloom.... Eureka!!! I've not made a new perfume in a while.... I feel rewarded to find them ready for me, so I pluck a few and head inside. Can had created a cozy international apothecary nook for me in our home... complete with a mortar and pestle from Iran, a vintage table from Morocco, a cane sitting stool from India and an ancient spice desk from Venice. For my eidetic memory, each piece is throwback and flashback to all of our wonderful times traveling the world together!

It's around 5PM and I'm home after a fruitful, or shall I say, soupful day. I can't see her.... but I hear her humming the soulfultune to "Kirmizi" by Tuğkan. I find her in the perfume room, concentrating on bottling up a perfume, didn't even notice that I'm back. At the entry, I stand back and observe her. She looks sensational wearing just my t-shirt, hair flowing to her back and dancing rhythmically to the tune she's singing..... Boy, I'm so lucky! As she puts down the perfume bottle..... I surprise her, like I normally do, and hug her from behind, taking in a full whiff of her essence!
She yelps and returns the hug.... but I'm almost knocked out by the fragrance that is her ! She's immersed in it, I'm immersed in it.... and it is one of the most evocative moments of my life! Her fragrance and essence is such an aphrodisiac, that my body involuntarily responds to her.... and I start kissing her passionately and she catches up to me in a millisecond!
We're devouring each other, unfettered and soaring, again and again... and again! She's a sensual blend of Venus and Aphrodite in human form, made just for me...... and I'm powerless and powerful with her and for her!
Can Divit : Few weeks later....
We've both been busy today and I had dropped her off at the agency and left for a photo shoot.
..
Early evening, I drive over to pick her up. Even after all this time, she still gets surprised by my stealthy hug and kisses.... and I thoroughly enjoy her outburst & ecstatic reactions!
"Let's go to the the rocks....by the bay" she says. Never one to refuse her, I say "Okay" and she says "It's so cute when you say OKAY"..... kisses.
We make it to the rocks.... our special place, where we left each other, found each other, got proposed to, got engaged, got married... it's been the backdrop for every one of the key moments in our courtship, love & life!
She's in my arms and I'm eagerly waiting for her to talk.
"Can....look..."
"I'm not sure how to say this to you...."
"I'm pregnant"......
And the rest is a flurry of words... "I know we discussed having children a bit later... you needed time.... but I'm not sure how this happened so quickly!"

The next few moments are one of the best moments of my life! We're nose to nose with each other.... and Can gives me one of his glorious Duchenne smiles.... of all time!

Did she just say pregnant? Whoa?! She looks so stressed and is trembling slightly. For the past few days she's been radiant, with a fluorescence and even more so gloriously feminine than in all the time I've known her!
I.Love.Her.Now.AND.Forever!
"I love you, my beloved, my one & only love!"
"HERKES....We're having a BABY!!!", I trumpet excitedly into the bay for Herkes (everyone)!!

Authors Note: The Duchenne smile has been described as "smizing", as in "smiling with the eyes". Can Yaman is one I've seen have a perfect one & fabulous dimples to boot!
