Finding Our Way Back Home Can/Sanem

🌹Chapter-Four 🌹

Taking hold of her hands and removing them from his face. "No Polen don't...this marriage is not real. I've explained it to you in so many ways but ...I don't know. I'm going to the cabin tonight."

Huma came back...just in time to hear the door bang shut.

"Where's Can gone."

"To the cabin...he's still not over her you know."

"Love... why are you worried ...who has his ring on her finger... you or her. Come on get to bed it's been a long evening."

******

"She's doing good, started a new life...has no intention of coming back." Layla's words were going round and round in his head. Since the night she had left ...he had vowed not to think about her.

But who could control their dreams, she would come into his dreams most nights...when she didn't he would feel withdrawn. She was like a drug that kept him sane. Although not wanting it... he needed it to see him through the next day...tonight it was all over.

Looking at the ring on his finger he twisted it round and round...his thoughts going back to three months ago when his life fell apart...in a matter of minutes.

Sanem had left aunt Remida's launch party...as the boss he couldn't get away, and had to stay till the end. As soon as it was over he made his way out, he'd overheard one of the employees mention the name of the place where they were having their farewell drinks.

Driving there in record time...he had made it just in time the group were on their way out when he pulled up in front of them.

Even if he replayed the scene over a million times in his mind he could never forget the look in Sanems eyes...

"Did you do it...did you sleep with her?"

How could he deny it, even if it wasn't the way it seemed he couldn't deny it. She'd walked away.

"Who had told her?" There was only one person...getting into his truck he headed home.

After driving for a while he stopped. He needed to think before doing anything drastic, he had to calm down. Coming to a decision he started the engine and drove off.

It was late when he came home, he found his mother in the kitchen. "Hello son, it was a good night everything went well."

He wasn't in the mood for small talk...but didn't want to be rude.

"Err yes mum, have you seen Polen?"

"Love she went out with some friends...she said she was going to stay over at their place."

Great...just great...how the hell was he going to get through this night...he needed answers. Calm down he said to himself pacing back and forth. Getting angry wasn't going to help the situation... it hadn't in the past and it wouldn't now.

The day passed there was no show of her; It wasn't until the evening when she walked through the door.

"Polen can I have a word please."

"Sure Can I'll just be a minute."

She could see he was agitated and she instantly knew what it was about.

"Did you speak to Sanem last night?"

"Can she was trying to..." Polen began to cry ..but crying was not going to work this time.

"Did you tell her we slept together?"

"I hmm...I think..."

"There's nothing to think about did you or didn't you?"

"Can she was telling me she was going to get me out of your life...Can"

"Polen,"

"Yes Can yes I did ...I told her we slept together."

Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath. "Why did you have to ...?"

"It's not a lie Can..."

"I was going to tell her myself, when the time was right. Polen we can't be like this, you can't stay I want you packed and out of here right now."

"Can please..."

"No Polen...I've been telling you from a long time were just friends...just friends. I take full responsibility for that night...I can't apologise enough, but it's over the friendship... everything. You knew what she meant to me, yet you....anyway like I said you're not welcome here...so please leave."

"Can please listen..."

"No polen just leave."

"I can't Can ..."

"I don't want to hear another word." He turned his back from her and had taken a few steps towards the front door.

"I'm Pregnant." Polen dropped the bomb shell...that very moment turned his world upside down.

At that moment Huma had opened the door just in time to hear Polens announcement.

And here he was twisting the ring round his finger...if it was up to Huma they would have been engaged the next day...but he kept putting it off. Until he couldn't delay any longer... that was today.

There was another Matter he had to take care of...like the engagement he had delayed for as long as he could; now it could be delayed any longer.

"She was happy, doing good." Closing his eyes all he could think of were Layla's words....going round and round until he gave in to the sleep that claimed him.
