Now you are just like everyone else!
These words were like a ringtone in Sanem’s head playing over and over again.
She knew Can would be hurt and she was prepared for the storm to come but she never imagined in her wildest dreams that he could say those words.
He wanted to marry her for God’s sake. They were supposed to solve all problems and obstacles together. Maybe their love isn’t that strong after all, Sanem thought.

After he told her he would leave Istanbul and accept Polen’s offer, she needed to get out of the parking house. She couldn’t breathe properly and everything inside her body was screaming from pain.

Can hated to see Sanem cry. Even after what she did to him, he couldn’t stand seeing her broken like this.
He knew he said a few harsh words to her earlier but he definitely doesn’t want that this how they say goodbye to each other. Not like this. He knew he had to say goodbye to her in a proper way.
How can he leave her like this? Can decided to go after her just to see if she is fine.

“Sanem please this is hard for me too but I can't stay here in Istanbul. I need time off and I want to concentrate on something else. Polen’s offer really came at the right time. I cannot see you cry, you know that right?”

“What do you want me to say Can? Do you want my blessing? I thought our time in Ağva made you realise that we belong together but it seems like I'm just a fool. Have you ever thought about why Polen came at exactly this time back into our lifes?
I guess not because she is still the one person you trust and believe above everything else. I just hoped you gave me a chance to explain myself properly but this doesn't matter anymore.”
“Sanem, I…” before Can could say anything further, Sanem just continued.
“Fine. I wish you and Polen good luck for the future. Have a nice, safe trip and I really hope this journey is what you wanted.”
She couldn't contain it any longer, her tears were running down her face and she was feeling so warm. She couldn’t stay any minute longer and decided to turn around and never look back.

Can stood there in shock. He couldn’t believe she really thought he would go back to Polen, ever. He knew she needed some time now and he couldn’t run after her this time. Maybe this was for the best he thought.

Later that evening, Sanem was outside sitting on the damn rocks and just looked into the dark night.
She didn’t feel anything. No pain, no anger, no hurt. She was so empty. She knew she lost him forever, the only person who understood her and brought out the best in her.
Why did she had to give away the perfume? Why lie about it? Could she really allow him to leave Istanbul forever? She ran into a Taxi and went straight to the hut. Not knowing exactly what she will say, but just to see him one last time would fulfill her current needs.
"I hope I am not too late. Please be there Can."
