Sanem and Can- A new Story

Part - 16 Broken Pieces

Sanem POV

As the alarm rang I woke up from my sleep, trying to move I saw Can held on to me tightly, as usual our bodies were tangled together, first I used to feel odd today I love this feeling of Can so close to me. Stroking his beard with my fingers I kiss his nose, then his forehead, then left cheek, then the right one and finally a soft kiss on his lips. Looking at him loving, I kiss his lips again only to hear him groaning after I pull back. I thought he was awake but realize he is yet in his sleep as he starts to kiss the air. I laugh inwardly but give in to his kisses. Can seems content and happy after he finishes his sleepy kisses, going into deep slumber again.

Canim; I whisper as I need to untangle myself to get up.

Hmm; Can replied in his sleep

I need to get up; I say

Hmm; he replies again only to grip me tighter!

Canim, please; I say trying to get out of his grip but to no avail. Having no other option, I wait for him to get up as I know Can is a heavy sleeper and the way he has caught me I doubt I can wriggle out, not until he allows.
Having nothing else to do then stay put, I start to think of Leyla. I don't know whether she will like to go forward with Emre but I think its high time she moves forward. I'm not against Tarik, baba should have not insulted his parents or his love for Leyla but was it right for him to leave Leyla even though she begged him to stay even apologizing for baba. Am I wrong in wanting Leyla to move on forgetting Tarik and going forward with Emre? I don't want to make a biased decision just because Emre is my brother in-law and I favour him for Leyla. Thinking what to do, I see the only clean way to see any change is to get Leyla and Emre to become friends first. If I tell her now that Emre loves her, then she will not allow him anywhere near her, moving into her shell again. Tarik and her break up shattered her badly getting her confused of who to blame, her father, who was the reason of her break up or Tarik for leaving her alone and heartbroken. At the end she blamed herself for going against baba and falling in love in the first place, getting herself to justify both baba and Tarik's decision. At first I always saw baba as wrong, even now but after seeing Can's love and perseverance for me, I think Tarik should have not left Leyla. I yet remember the night Leyla sneaked out of the house to meet Tarik.

Flashback:-

I was in the kitchen to get a glass of water when I heard a noise in the staircase. Going out I see it's Leyla with a scarf on her hair, with tears in her eyes.

Abla why you are crying? I ask

Sanem, Tarik is leaving, I don't know what to do, I have tried to talk to him but no response from his side. Muzo told me today that he got the information that he leaving Istanbul tomorrow. I need to meet him Sanem, I need to talk to him, please; Leyla cried

Tamam, I am coming with you; I say following her taking my coat and putting on our shoes. Taking the Muzo scooter we go to Tarik house. Knocking on his door, his father answers, he is shocked to see us so late at night but he welcomes us in anyway, calling out for Tarik to come to the living room. As Tarik entered the room he was startled to see Leyla.

What are you doing here Leyla? He asks

Why are you not answering my calls, I have written you countless messages but you don't reply to any, why Tarik; Leyla asks tears flowing from her eyes.

Wasn't it enough what your father has done? After all he has said what do you want me to do, Leyla? Tarik says

I am sorry for baba, I ask forgiveness for him, he should have not spoken to your parents or you that way, I'm truly sorry but what's my fault in this Tarik why are you leaving me like this? Leyla asks
