Leila tapped on her door the next morning early, dying to know the story. " Sanem, wake up, tell me what happened yesterday," I'm excited to know. " I went to Adin's office but he said he didn't want to tell me what went on between you both." She said. Sanem sat up, she explained to her sister everything Adin had said to her, " Abla, he was a totally different person than the Adin we grew up with, his eyes held so much disgust for me, it almost scared me. Leila couldn't believe what she had heard, no wonder he hadn't wanted to tell her about their conversation. If Can finds out what was said, Adin will have to answer to him, and that might be worse than answering to his father. Leila was glad her sister had confided in her, that hadn't always been the case. She never wanted to hurt Sanem with the reveal of Polen, she just didn't want her to be blindsided. 

Sanem had a hour before she was to meet Can, so she had to hurry to catch her bus. Her heart was beating fast with excitement, he would be so happy to know her parents were expecting him for dinner that evening, she was ready to put all of this behind them. " Just take the love he is giving you, and make your heart happy," she told herself as she waited for the bus. That's all she wanted.....to be happy. She got off the bus a block from the cafe, and walked to meet him. She opened the door to the cafe, looked around, and there he was, sitting at a table in the back. Her heart skipped a beat just looking at him. " He's early, she thought, smiling. He saw her and stood, waving at her so she would see him. She waved back, and made her way to his table.           " Good morning Can," she said softly, as he reached for her, pulling her close to him. It took her by surprise, such action right there in a public place, but the touch of his hands on her replaced any apprehension she had. It sent an electric wave through her,...." yes this was what she lived for, this man, this touch, and that look that from his eyes that crossed ever boundary of her heart." She loved him.....

" Sanem, my god, I was so scared yesterday." He whispered in her ear, as he held her tight. Her smell filled his mind and heart, letting him relax a bit. "She was here and ok." He told himself, touching her skin, feeling the softness of it. She intoxicated him with just her presence, but he wanted so much more. He pulled out the chair for her to sit, not taking his eyes off her,.... he couldn't,  he was afraid he would loss her again if he did. He sat down, reaching for her hand,           " Sanem what happened yesterday, why didn't you come to me when Adin came to the office." He pleaded, " I'm  never going to let him hurt you again." He said, his eyes glisten with tears that had formed. She smiled, "Can, I know, I should have come straight to you, but he took me by surprise." She explained, searching his eyes and seeing the pain he was feeling. " Can, Adin had pictures of you and Polen, I would presume, from an event you had attended with her. It really threw me, just to see the two of you together." She said, the hurt still visible on her face. Can sat up straight in his chair, " Sanem, you have to believe me, there's is nothing between Polen and I, it's has been over for a long time now, at least if has been for me." He stated, feeling the need to emphasize that. "It was over even long before I broke it off with her." To be honest, I'm not sure that I had that strong of feelings for her." She was someone to come to a couple of times a year, and some one to tell my troubles to when I needed to." My heart wasn't with hers." He stated, staring deep into her eyes, making her weak.

She studied him, and listened to what he was saying, she believed him. He seemed so sincere, letting his eyes tell her his feelings. He leaned forward, " Don't ever doubt that my feelings for you are true, and I will protect you from Adin from now on." He spouted, kissing her hand gently. " How did Adin get pictures of Polen and I together anyway, it  must have been  a long time ago." He asked, trying to remember the last time he had attended an  event with her. " He's doing this just to hurt us, my love, please don't fall into his trap." He said, his voice low and demanding.  Can was sure Adin had more tricks up his sleeve, he intended to make Sanem know that what he feels for her is real and strong, and he will never let her go. But he did know he would have to pay an visit to his friend Adin, he would make him understand, all his deceit in the world is not going to separate him from Sanem. He let his eyes take her in, still realizing the fear they he had just a few hours ago when he couldn't find her, " I can't be without her," He thought, " My heart would break if I had to, so he would fight for her, against Adin, and her parents, and make them see how much he loved this woman." 

In an instant, her face lit up, " Can my love, my parents are willing to meet you and get to know you, so they have invited you to dinner this evening, can you come." She asked, her eyes dancing with joy. She hoped he didn't have other plans and he would agree to come. He smiled, " I would love to," he said, " I don't have any plans but to be with you and making you happy." He replied, his eyes smoldering with desire. She clapped her hands, " Super, then it's a date, can you be their by 7:00? She asked, avoiding his eyes, and that stare that made her blush and sent her stomach into doing flip flops. " Yes, what ever time you want me there," he stated. She giggled nervously, she would never get used to his looks, he could reach her heart with just one glance and make it hard for her to breath. She had never felt these things before, but she loved them and  she loved him, with all her heart.

They had finished there talk and it was time to get to work, he grabbed her hand as they walked out of the cafe, but she shied away from him. He looked at her confidently, "Sanem, I want the whole world to know we are together, so take my hand and lets walk in together, proud of our love for each other." He said softly, with the love for her beaming from him. She let all of her defenses down, " Just let yourself love him Sanem," she told herself, " Be happy with him."

" This is the man your suppose to be with, the match of you heart and soul." 

She took his hand, and smiled, as they walked towards the agency.......in love.
