A MAN'S SORROW CUTS DEEPER

The truth stung deeper than skin...

Can was hurt by his mother in the past. The wound he was left with when she deserted him while she took Emre with her took a long time to heal. Whenever he found courage to let her back into his life, she always found a way to rip that would wide open and left his life again. And no matter how much  his father tried, he would never be able to make up for the pain Hüma cause his beloved son.

Because of Sanem Can decided to give Hüma one last chance. Had he known how much pain this would cause them, he would never have considered letting her back in to his life. Sanem begged him to give his mother a chance, even when she herself was berated and downgraded by Hüma on regular basis. When Can professed his love to everyone and proposed to Sanem, Hüma still refused to acknowledge her as someone close to Can's heart. In fact, she only intensified her vicious attempts to separate them. Even if it meant breaking her son's heart...

When Can had returned, he found it difficult to speak with Hüma. His newfound pain of loosing Sanem only added to his reluctant feelings for his mother. And the fact that she was still opposed to Sanem made him wonder just why she hated Sanem so much. The only consolation he felt was that in the year of his absence resulted in Hüma staying as far away from Sanem as possible. Or so he had thought...

The moment he found out that his mother met with Yigit made all of the pieces of the puzzle fall back into place when it came to Yigit. And the picture that they displayed was again a painful one. Rather than choosing to take her son's side, she chose to choose the one against him. And what was worse, she chose Yigit over him. The pang of that pain stung him so deep. So much deeper than skin deep. His core was shaken by her yet again. The rage of the hurt came back with full force. He was calm now, a new sort of man, but the fact that his own mother went so far against him was more than he could handle...

He went to confront her. And he knew that each word that left her lips was a dishonest attempt of the lowes sort of lies. She denied it. Then she pulled Polen into the mix - which was another low even for her. Lastly, she accused him of spying on her. How wrong she was about that one, she would never know. Too blinded by fear of Can's discovery she failed to see yet again that the man that stood before her was a child looking for answers, looking to make sense of his mother's treachery for the thousandth time.

He left, hurt again beyond words. Hurt again because she chose to deny him any love she had left for him. Hurt because she chose to throw his love down into the dirt. And hurt most of all because he realized how little Sanem meant to Hüma. And he swore that from that day on he would make sure the snake of a man Yigit realized that no one messed with his family the way he did so in the year that Can was gone, and got away with it...
