Principles - episodes 12/13

Episode 12/13, Can has told Sanem he is in love with her at his childhood villa. The next day, while at breakfast at his house with the team, Can kicks Metin out of his life because he sent some documents to his mother. He then goes to the neighbourhood to meet with Sanem.

Sanem and Ayhan were walking in the middle of the street, chatting away.

S: ''you should have seen how angry he was, it was scary! And then he kicked him out of his life in a second... years of friendship thrown out the window!'' Sanem couldn't believe someone could treat a close friend, almost a brother like Can had treated Metin, he really did upset her. She had not admitted to loving him yet, she was scared of their differences, but now she doubted even more.

A: ''uff... Sanem, this is no good! You need to clear things up with him, either you love him or you don't and he needs to leave you alone.''

S: ''Ayhan, this is not so simple. I do love him, but he is so intense and so stubborn...'' a loud car horn made both the girls jump in the air. Can was parked right behind them.

C: ''Sanem, my girl, do you have a moment?''

Sanem turned to Ayhan, ''I guess this is it!''

A: ''tell him everything Sanem, your love and your fears.'' She hugged her friend and walked her to the car door. ''Hello Can Bey!'' She high fived Can and watched them drive off.

Can and Sanem found themselves on their rocks again, despite the lack of luck that place seemed to bring them, they loved the view and serenity.

Sanem was fidgeting across from him, clearly anxious.

C: ''what's wrong Sanem? I'm the one who should be upset right now!''

Sanem jumped on the occasion, ''why?''

He was caught off guard by her question, ''because I lost a friend today, a brother really.''

S: ''you didn't lose him Can, you pushed him out of your life, you did it yourself.'' She was speaking softly, making sure he didn't feel aggressed.

C: ''it's true.'' He admitted, ''but I had no choice, he lied to me.''

She was flabbergasted his vision was so narrow.

S: ''Can, I am going to tell you exactly what happened. Metin, lawyer to the company, sent documents to your mom because this is the law, she is entitled to receive those documents and it's his job to send them to her.'' Can sat up, clearly shocked with her speech, but he let her go on. '' Metin had 2 options here, he could please you but risk his career, or he could do his job and hide it from you so you don't do exactly what you did today.''

Can dropped his head down, realisation hitting him hard. ''He could... he could have just told me he had to do it.''

Sanem took his hand, feeling sorry for his broken heart, '' how different of a reaction would you have given him?'' He looked up, taking a deep breath, she was challenging his deepest principles.

C: ''shit...'' he realised he had just kicked his best friend out of his life, and he only had himself to blame.

S: ''Can, don't worry, Metin loves you. Go to him, talk... it's not too late.'' He threw his arms around her, ''God I love you so much Sanem'' he kissed her neck and shoulder, goose bump grew on her entire body. He started walking away, ''do you mind if...'' he felt guilty to leave her there.

S: ''go! I can find my way home!''

Can parked in front off Metin's place 20 minutes later. He had rehearsed what he wanted to tell his friend the whole time, yet he felt anxious, ashamed and his hands were even shaking. He rang the doorbell, Metin opened, looking pale and tired.
