We Found the Real Thing....Our LovePart 2 of " Is This the Real Thing"

Chapter Thirteen

As Sanem walked out of Can's office,  a million questions were running through Emre's head.          " Abi, what's going on with that new girl, you seemed pretty cozy when I walked in." He asked, with a smirk on his face. Can shot him a look, " What did it look like Emre, we were having tea." Can answered, knowing his little brother would make a big deal out of his relationship with Sanem. " Just tea, hmm....she a beautiful woman, but not really your type, do you think." Emre said eyeing his brother. " What type, what do you mean by that,....do I have a type? Can asked, getting a little perturbed with his insinuation. Emre could tell he had struck a nerve, " Yes, you have a type," he answered firmly. " Like Polen, tall, beautiful, smart, classy....do you want me to go on?" He popped off, ready to defend himself and his opinion. Can smiled, " Well, you couldn't be more wrong brother, Polen most definitely is not my type, and as I said, I have finally broke it off with her." He stated, as he walked around to sit down. Emre had never seen this side of his brother, a bit defiant, and secretive. " You are sure about that, you want to break it off with her  for,...what's her name......ah, Sanem." She just a common girl, her and her sister Leila are from a old and poor district of town." I know Leila is a very good assistant and not bad to look at, but they are from a different world." He spouted, shocked at his brothers actions. 

Can had heard all he cared to hear, " Emre, I'm busy, so if you don't mind." He announced, ready for his brother to shut up. He never knew his brother was such a shallow minded person, and so quick to judge people. He reminded him of their mother, and that was something he didn't like to do.......think of Huma. Emre excused himself, and went to his office, but Sanem was still on his mind. Leila, very eager to please her boss, hurried into his office to take a report for him, " Good morning Emrebey, I hope you had a nice couple of days off. Here are the reports to go over and the this is a final payment for you to sign." She babbled quickly, she always became flustered when she was around him. He looked at her, this time with a little more thought, was he missing something with these women. They did have a special look about them, beautiful and wholesome, he thought. He brushed it off and got down to business, turning his attention to what Leila was saying. She was always in a constant state of infatuation, when it came to Emrebye, she had been for years. Keeping her feelings hidden from everyone, she knew it was just her dream, a dream that would never one true. After she went over the files with him, she turned to leave, " Wait Leila, I was wondering how your sister is liking her job here, is she happy here." He asked, but she felt like he wanted to ask more, but couldn't. She replied, " She very happy here, thank you." I believe she doing a good job, at least I haven't hear any complaints." She said. Emre shook his head and smiled, dismissing Leila to return to her office.

It had only been an hour, but Can was already missing Sanem, and wanted to see her. He went to his door, scanned the office floor looking for her. He found her, standing at the copier machine, his heart jumped, she looked so beautiful and pure he couldn't take his eyes off of her. She felt the stare from across the room and searched out his eyes. Their eyes focused on each other, everything else went away, he motioned her to come to his office. She hurried by the coffee bar and grabbed his tea and went down the hall to his office. Ms. Deren met her in the hall, the look would have killed her if it could, she felt the effects from it anyway. She nodded a acknowledgment her way and continued on to Cans office. Deren stopped and watched her enter his office, and Can greet her just inside the door. Can encircled her in  his arms and took her toward the sofa in his office, " I just don't get it," she thought, She is nothing special, a simple delivery and errand girl." The thoughts rambled on in her head, when Emre came around the corner, " Deren, are you ok, are you waiting for Can? He asked, glancing back to see Can and Sanem in his office. " No,...I'm sorry Emre, I was just lost in a thought." She said, embarrassed he had caught her staring in his office. Emre started to walk off, but decided to get some answers to some questions, " Do you know what's going on with Can, he's changed a lot over the past couple of weeks." And Sanem, is there something going on with them?" He asked, knowing that Deren would know what was up, if it had anything to do with Can she would know. Deren smiled, "Emre, I'm not really sure, I think that Sanem would like for there to be, and maybe Can would to, but there's Polen. She shrugged her shoulders, " Can is the one to ask, not me." 

Emre was more confused than ever, and had decided to do just that, as soon as they got home. Sanem sat down on the sofa with Can, " Can, there's a lot of talk about us in the office, maybe it would be best for me to find  different job." She said, fidgeting with her fingers, nervous to hear his reply. " Let them talk Sanem, we have nothing to hide I told you, everything will be ok. You can't go anywhere, I need you here." He spoke, running his finger along her cheek. His touch made her forget all their troubles, she looked in his eyes and she could see his strength. He always made her feel better, more in control. It was almost time to finish for the day, so she went to complete her work and leave. She gave Can her address, and her and Leila, left to catch the bus. Can hurried home to change and get to Sanem's house by 7:00. Can was changed and ready to leave when Emre arrived, " Abi, where are you off to tonight, looks like somewhere special." He said smiling. " It is, and I'm in a hurry, so I will see you later." Can said, trying escape the questions. " Wait...wait, brother, who's the woman." He asked, patting him on the back. Can decided it was time to fill him in on his woman, " Ok Emre, I am going somewhere special, if you must know." I'm going to Sanem's house to meet her parents." He stated firmly, waiting for the backlash. Had he heard right, Can was going to meet her parents, " Whoa, Abi, meet the parents, isn't it a bit soon for that." He spouted, with shock written all over his face. 

Ok, here it comes, he thought,  "No Emre, it's not, we have been together for a few weeks now, and with their traditions, i need to meet them so we can go on to the next step." He explained. " What next step, Can. Are you serious about this woman?"  Emre shouted. 

Can stiffened, " Emre, yes, I am." And this is really none of your business." I take care of my life and you take care of yours, that's the way it's always been." He spewed, ready to defend their relationship to the end. Emre shook his head, " What happened to Polen, why did you break up with her." He asked, confused. 

" Emre I didn't love Polen,  I never did. But Sanem is different,....she is connected to me someway, I can't explain it." He said, his voice turning soft. " Are you in love with her Can? Emre asked, shocked to even be saying the words.

" Yes, I am Emre, and I plan on marrying her as soon as her parents approve....
