Sanem knew what Ceyda was trying to do, but what Ceyda didn't know is, Sanem had never planned to go anyway. This would be the test of her will, to send Can, her man and only hers, off for a 5 day vacation with the likes of her. The queen piranha, the bitches of all bitches, and she had her sights set of her man. Was she crazy or what, she must be, or just so much in love she had lost her better judgment. What ever it was, she trusted Can and that was it. They had been through so much and he still loved her like there was no tomorrow, so the least she could do is give him her undying love and trust..

Those 5 days would past so quickly she would hardly know he was gone, she would be busy, she would make herself stay busy. The campaign was terrific, Mr. Mekken loved the concept, giving Sanem full rein on the entire ad. " Mr. Mekken, you make me blush with such high praise ." She spoke. " You know that I will have to hand over part of the campaign to Ms. Deren in a couple of weeks because of the wedding, don't you." She stated. He agreed, but insisted that Sanem was in charge until then. Deren always had a hard time allowing Sanem to be in charge. Can agreed also, " Of course Mr. Mekken, Sanem will handle everything  up until the wedding and then Deren will take over, but with Sanem's directions." Deren is that satisfactory to you as well." He asked. With doubt spinning through her mind, Deren smiled, " Absolutely, I understand completely, I will be more than happy to step in for Sanem, when the time comes."  She replied. Why did she have to be so good at everything she did, Deren wondered, she had all but taken her job, and she took the man she was suppose to have. These thoughts raged in Deren's mind. Maybe it was time for her to move on, start somewhere fresh and new. But this agency had been her life, it would be hard to leave.

Can and Sanem had moved the agency up the ladder of success, with landing the Redmond account they were a force to be reckoned with. Sanem and Deren worked hard on finalizing the project so far. Can's best friend, Alif always took care of the printing for the agency, and it was no different in this case. The first set of posters were ready to be picked, Can was going to the gym for his training session and Sanem was on her way to pickup her dress that had been altered.             " Can, will be able to swing by and pickup the prints today, or shall I? " Sanem asked as they both prepared to leave. " I'm sorry love, but this is a very intense session and might run long, so maybe you should get them, if you can." He stated. She agreed, " Ok, I would like to see Akif anyway, I haven't seen him in awhile." She said. " Hey,  I can take his wedding invitation with me and not have to mail it." She said. " I hope they can make it, " she added.  She grabbed the invitation and headed towards the door, Can walked her out to get a taxi, with a kiss goodbye they agreed to talk later, after the workout. 

She made it to the printing house and pickup the prints, had a nice visit with Akif, and hand delivered the invitation.  Her friend smiled, " Sanem, I remember the first time you came here with Can, I knew then you were special. I could tell the difference in my friend, the light that shined from him was brighter." He laughed. " We knew before he did, that he was in love with you,"  And we couldn't have been happier. You are his soulmate, the one that makes him smile and I wouldn't miss this wedding for the world." He gushed, giving her a hug of genuine affection. He looked at his friend with questions, " Did he invite Metin as well, it's hard for me to watch my brothers drift apart like this," He asked, looking down to hide the tears welling up in his eyes. Sanem took his hands, " Oh, my dear friend, I know this has been hard on you, seeing them like this, but Can is stubborn, this you know. "  She said.    " He didn't want to sent him an invitation, I tried, but couldn't convince him." He still loves him but he is still hurt, so it will take longer to heal." She said sadly. But I will continue to work on him, tell Metin I love him and not to give up." They hugged goodbye, and she grabbed her taxi.

The dress was perfect, it fit her to a tee, just like she dreamed it would. It made her cry and the shop owner too. They wrapped it up and she was on her way, headed home to show her mother her perfect dress for her perfect day. How did her life get so right, with all the ups and downs in the relationship, she was sure this happy ending would never come. But, here she is, living the dream of dreams, and In love with her Prince Charming. Her dress met the approval of the mother, Milihat and her sister. She hung it in her room, where she could look at it as she lay in bed. The phone rang, bringing her back to earth, it was Can. " Yes, my love," how was your workout." She chimed. " I miss you terribly, do you miss me." She teased. Can sighed, " You don't know how much, my love. " How many days, is it 16, and 5 of those I won't be here to see you. I think it was a mistake for me to agree to go on this climb." He groaned. He could barely make it through the nights without her, what made him think he would survive 5 days. He begged her to sneak out, grab a taxi and come join him in bed. " You can get up early and be back home before your parents even know you we're gone, please." He begged, torturing her with his pleas. " Can you know I can't, so why get us both so worked up, now it will be hard to go to sleep." She whined. The being apart was harder and harder to deal with, he needed her, in every sense of the word. She was his breath to breathe, the pumping of his heart. His life would end if anything happened to her. He shuddered at the mere thought of it, his eyes teared up, and his heart ached. He shook his head to rid his mind of that fear, " Nothing will ever happen, don't be so silly, you let your imagination go wild." He scolded himself. 

But for some reason a tiny piece of that fear stuck deep down in his soul, he could feel it there, it wouldn't leave. The need to be with her captured his heart, but his dreams of her would have to do. 

And what dreams they were, his mind was filled with desire, the want, the release. 

And there not one would interrupt them.......It was heaven.
