The Best Is Yet To Come

Dreaming of you

He knows he's dreaming. He knows. This scene has been playing in his mind over and over again. He knows exactly what she's going to say and yet, he still looks forward to her answers. He will do anything just to hear her voice again.

"Why don't you want to see me?"
"Because I love you"

"Why are you running away from me?"
"Because I love you"

"Why don't you want to be together?"
"I love you very much. I love you more than myself.

Can Divit wakes up in a cold sweat.  The exact same dream plagued him for years. He can still see Sanem sitting in the garden with a white dress, looking as pure as the driven snow. It's how he wants to remember her, not the heartbroken girl with tears in her eyes.

It's been almost four years since she made a deal with that Italian devil. Sanem signed a contract that gave her scent away in exchange for his freedom and his father's company. He reacted in his typical manner but this time, he did the unforgivable—he left Istanbul.

For two months, Can traveled to dangerous places with nothing but a backpack and his camera. In the mornings, he took pictures and in the evenings he ran. But no matter how hard his feet hit the pavement, he couldn't run from the memories of their last fight. He can still feel her anguish, the tremble in her voice, begging him to understand the position she was in.

In the end, it was Metin who found him in Cambodia. Sanem and her brilliant mind decided to involve his other brothers when he left. Metin, along with Akif, found the loophole which gave him back his company. It was also Metin who gave him the letter:

"I did it for you."

Can licked his wounds, booked the first flight home to beg her forgiveness but she was gone. No one knew where she went. Sanem packed a bag and left her house in the middle of the night. The only thing left behind was a letter to her parents and a bottle of perfume addressed to him.

Her parents blamed him. They never explicitly told him but he knew. He knew every single time he knocked on their door once a week to ask if there were news until finally, Mevkibe asked him to stop coming. She's tired of the gossip. It was the least he could do for the pain he brought her family.

Can tries to catch his breath, he remembers why he woke up. He's so used to having the exact same dream but something had changed. He can't help but smile at the trickle of hope flowing through his veins.

As the sprinklers turnes on, Sanem stretches out her hand.

"Come with me".

As he reaches for her, the garden morphs into his hut. Their soaked clothes changes into something warmer. He looks down at this attire and realizes he's wearing the same clothes as that night in the hut.

"Why are you running from me?"
"Because I love you".

"Why don't you want to be together?"
"I love you very much. I love you more than myself. That's why I did this".

"Did what Sanem? Why can't I find you?"
"You will."

"How?"
"She's going to help you."
