Twin Flames

Soulmates ?

Tracing her fingers through the words he so casually wrote on the book he gifted her she sat there on her small little bed reminiscing all those beautiful moments with her Albatross that are engraved in her memory and her soul. She wished she could trace his face too the same way she traced those words.

" How could a man be so bare to me yet seem like he's a closed book , a mystery ? How could he be so vulnerable yet remain so strong ? How could a man be so passionate yet be so gentle with me ? He's a simple man with simple needs and principles but there's something about him that makes him so special , a spark that could light up the whole world. He's so raw and unabashedly himself so nonchalant about the world's perception of him . He is what he is no pretenses no shams."

She remembered the way he looked at her while sitting on those stairs so beautiful yet painful a dull ache settling in her heart remembering the hurt in his eyes . She wished she could hold him then tell him she's still his Sanem tell him that she loved him but she just sat there while he spoke out his pain and insecurities . Each word breaking her on the inside , scraping her esteem and drowning her in guilt . What does he think of me now ? What should she make of the words he wrote on the book ? She wondered idly while she his beautiful writing " life mate " it read . His writing is also like him beautiful and free curved at the right places enough to seem perfect but slightly slanted to seem real. A beautiful contradicting just like him .

A knock on the door startled her out of her reverie . It was Leyla her sister she had just come back from the Divit house where she was taking care of Emre .

Sanem greeted Leyla and inquired "How is Emre bey ?"

"He's good but I don't know about Can bey" replied Leyla with a concerned look on her face .

Startled and anxious she blabbered in quick unsure words " Can ? What happened to him ? Is he okay ? What's wrong ?"

Leyla with a knowing look on her face told her about how Can had found out about his mother's arrival and how angry he was on Emre bey .

Sanem knew that Can's mother was a touchy topic for him and that it always messed up with his emotions . In a quick move she assured Leyla that everything is going to be alright and messaged Ayhan to cover up for Sanem .

She rushed to his hut remembering all the beautiful times they had spent there . His escape from the real world full of problems and evils a safe haven . Ironic how she called him the Bad king but he was just a lonely guy tired of fighting all the battles life constant threw at him .

Can sat there under the stars as they shined while his world seemed to dull with every second . The wind was blowing harshly indicating that it might rain soon . Maybe the clouds will cry his share because he didn't have the strength to accept his own emotions. He liked to believe that if he sat long enough in his little hut away from everyone then all these evils and problems will vanish . He was just a lonely young guy who was tired of staying alone , tired of getting betrayed from everyone he trusted . He had wrapped his insecurities and fears with a cloak of confidence , intelligence ,arrogance and detachment but weirdly that cloak which used to warn him was starting to slowly choke him. He wanted to remove that cloak and shed his walls and he knew the reason behind this wanting . Sanem sweet naive Sanem . The Artemis to his Albatross . He still wanted to stay in his hut but wanted Sanem to be there with him. He still wanted to roam the world but this time with Sanem sharing his pain & joy . "He wanted to be alone but he wanted for then to be alone together" he remembered saying that to her while they were dripping wet in the sea her body trembling with his touches . He remembered the way her eyes sparkled when he spoke as if she would go anywhere he told her to .

It had started drizzling slightly and he sat there wishing the water will wash his sorrows too. In the haze of the water he saw a small frame of a girl wondering if He's finally gone crazy and started imagining Sanem .
