The Letter

The Rocks

When Sanem arrived home she was exhausted from work and the Polen experience. She felt like she couldn't catch a break and that the repercussions of having loved Can Divit were endless. She gave him, what he wanted, space. She gave him the chance to go live his life and if that was with someone else so be it. She couldn't understand how bitter his mom and Polen were to her after they broke up. Sanem thought screw it and went to sleep.

The next morning, Sanem got up early and went to the rocks and think. She wanted some fresh air after the events that had occured yesterday and time to think before going to work.

Can woke up that morning early as well. He had spent all evening thinking and planning what to say to Sanem. He needed to open himself up again to know where he was with her. He decided to go to the rocks and take in the morning before working up the courage to find her.

Can parked his truck and starting walking over to the rocks. Those dreaded yet perfect rocks that meant so much to him. He couldn't believe his eyes when he saw a girl with brown curls watching out over the water. She looked gorgeous as ever. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever known. Then the wind caught way and he could smell her fragrance. His Sanem. It was as if fate was on his side placing them both here. 

Sanem: (on the phone) Okay Ceycey, I think we have everything we need. I will call you later if something comes up. Thank you for your help.

Once she hung up the phone, Sanem felt someone walking up behind her. Can watched her turn towards him almost in slow motion starting to smile then looking down. In those few seconds Can knew everything he had to say.

Sanem: (starting to walk past him) Can, I had heard you were back. It's good to see you are okay. I need to leave for work. Goodbye.

Can practically jumped in front of Sanem: Sanem wait!

Sanem: Can, really I hope you are doing well. I can't talk to you right now. It hurts too much. I can't do this. Please let me go. 

Can: Please let me say what I need to say to you. 

Sanem: (looking around reluctantly) Tamam.

Can: Sanem, I read your letter. I have to say I think I'm madder than I was before. I didn't get to say everything I wanted to at the hut.

Sanem thought to herself, "Wow the universe really wants to punish me right now. Huma and Polen had their hit and it was round two for Can. Can't wait to hear how else I've ruined something". She waited for Can to continue.

(Can took a deep breath.)

Can: Sanem, I hate what you did.

Sanem: (sarcastically) Really Can? I had no idea. I mean I had a feeling when your mother chewed me out and then there was Polen but wasn't sure.

Can: I hate the things I have said to you in anger. I hate that I was a coward and just left. I hate how much time I've wasted being away from you. I hate that I won't be the first person you marry and I hate that someone else gets to be in love you like I am in love with you.

Sanem waved her hands in front of her face trying to make sure this was real. Her jaw dropped in shock listening to Can continue.

Can: Sanem, I should have listened to you from the start. I should have made you feel like you could come to me with anything. You have always been there for me and made me feel like I could open up to you. You have showed me more love in the short time I've known you than anyone else has in my entire life. 

(Looking down) When you had a choice to make you chose me. 

(He looked right at Sanem) When I had a choice to make... I chose wrong. I was holding on to the pain when I should've chosen you and I would choose you over and over again if I could go back. 

Sanem  you are enough for me. You are my equal in every way.  You are everything I have ever dreamed of and more. If I could change how me met, I would have asked you to be mine the first time we kissed in the Opera house. I would've proposed to you the following day after learning your name. I knew it then, I know it now and I'll know it always, there will never be anyone else for me. You perfect for me and I'm perfect for you. Please give us a chance. 

Sanem was dumbfounded. Can had said everything she had ever wanted to hear from him. She couldn't believe it was all real. She just stood there silent for a minute looking at him confused. She broke out of her trance as she heard Yigit yell her name from a distance.

Yigit: Sanem! Can I give you a lift to work?

Sanem looked at Can then looked at Yigit.

Can: Sanem, please say something. Please don't get in that car.

She yelled back over to Yigit, "I'll coming".

Sanem looked at Can and calmly said, "I need to go to work."

Can watched her get into Yigit's car and she didn't show any emotion just shock over what she had just heard.

Yigit: Are you okay?

Sanem: (still in shock) Actually, yes. I just feel kind of overloaded with everything going on. I think I'm going to take a half day today if that is alright with you.

Yigit: Of course.

Sanem left the office early that day and went home and just laid in her bed. Had Can really said all of that. I mean he apologized. He apologized. Sanem re-lived their conversation through her photographic memory. She was still in shock. He still loved her. Wait! He said he hated that he wasn't going to be the first one to marry her. What? Oh no, he probably heard about Leyla's wedding thinking it was hers.
