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

Chapter Twenty

Sanem made it through the rest of the day unscathed, be still leery of what might happen. The arrival of Cans dad should have been a joyous time, but the fear of being terminated from her job was foremost in her thoughts. She made it home with Leila on the bus, anxiously waiting for Can to call. He had picked up his dad, with a happy reunion at the airport, they were eager to catch up as they drove home. " Well dad how was your trip," Can asked, knowing his trip had been cut short because of his request to come back home. " It was a fabulous vacation, just what I needed, I'm so thankful that you were here to cover for me." Aziz replied. His dad was still hoping his son would take over the agency and he would be able to continue with his retirement, he had grown tired of the everyday grind of the office. Can smiled at his dad, so glad he had returned, " I'm glad you had a good time and I'm sorry I called you back early, but this is somewhat important." He said, the excitement oozing from his. His dad could see how happy his son was, " Well my son, I can tell how happy you are, and wouldn't have missed this announcement for the world." He exclaimed. " So, what does your brother think about your new found love, I'm so hoping you could rub off on him a little and he would settle down some too." He stated, shaking his head. Can laughed, " Emre is Emre dad, I don't know if he'll ever change, but I think he likes Sanem, or at least he seems to." His dad smiled, " Son your face just lit up at the mention of her name, I have no doubt that you're in love with this girl." Can's face changed to solemn, " Yes I am dad, I love her so much it hurts me sometimes, it's like my heart aches if she not in sight, or I can't touch her. She so different and special, it makes me wonder what I  could have possibly have seen in any other woman." He said softly, his eyes getting that longing look  he had when he thought of her. 

As Sanem sat in her room, waiting for Can to call or text her, her mind went back to Ms. Deren. What would she do if she decided to fire her, how was she going to handle it. Just being away from Can in the evenings was hard enough, so not seeing him all day would be impossible. She had to get Ms. Deren to accept her someway, but she knew it all stemmed from the feelings that Deren had for Can. She was deep in thought when she heard voices from downstairs, her heart jumped, thinking maybe Can had brought his dad by on their way home. She opened the door to hear,  " What, is that Adin," she thought, " What is he doing here," she was terrified at the thought of what he might tell her parents. She ran downstairs to hear what he was saying, " Aunt Mevkibe, Uncle Nihat, I'm sorry to come unannounced, but I feel like I need to discuss something with you." She heard Adin say, her heart beat faster. " What was he up to," she thought, " He's going to tell them a bunch of lies and make them doubt Can." She couldn't believe he had become so vile and mean, her stomach was tied in knots. Her parents nodded to Adin, so he entered and sat down, " I feel like i should inform you both of the type of person your daughter is  involving herself with."  He stated, leaning in towards them. They both looked at one another, "  Adin, we have already met Can and we both feel he is a suitable and decent person, so we won't listen to your opinion of him." Nihat said, looking at him with disgust. Adin held up his hand, " Ok, ok, I can see Sanem has filled you both with nonsense about Can Divit, but I can tell you, he is not the person you think." I don't want to she her get hurt by him, I'm just looking out for her. You know, I still care very deeply for her and would be willing to forgive and forget if you could get her to leave him and return to me." He spouted smugly, 

Sanem had heard enough, " Adin, she spewed, " excuse me if I interrupt you, but you have no  right coming here and trying to discredit Can like that. I simply won't stand for it." Especially after what you said to me before about Can." Adins face dropped, " Sanem I had no idea you were home, I'm sorry to bother you both." He babbled, standing to leave. Nihat stood, " Adin, what is it you have to say," her father asked, " if there is something we should know, then please tell us."  Adin's eyes shifted to Sanem, " Maybe this should come from Sanem, not me." He stated, smiling at her slightly. " I don't have the slightest idea what your talking about Adin, you have made up a lie and now you want me to tell it. " Well I won't do it." She spouted, glaring at him. Nihat looked at Sanem, " My daughter, if there's something, you must tell us." He ordered, with a sharpness in his voice. She knew she would have to explain what Adin was talking about, but she wouldn't do it in front of him. " Ok dad I will, but I won't talk in front of him, so if that's all Adin, I will see you to the door." She said, starting towards the door. Adin followed, " See my dear,  all of this could be avoided if you would just come to your senses and come back to me." He whispered into her ear, as he walked by her, going to the door. She cringed as his breath felt warm on her neck, " That will never happen, you can be sure of that." She whispered back to him, glaring into his eyes. He smiled and walked down the street. Her parents were waiting for her as she came back into the room. She explained to them the picture that Adin had found of Can and his former girlfriend. And the fact that Adin was using it to put a wedge between them.   " He had broken it off with her some time ago, he has already explained it to me, but there are some people that refused to believe it. " she said. " Adin has said some terrible things to me, a lot of insinuating things that I will never forgive him for, but the things about Can are not true, please believe me." She said, pleading with them to understand. 

Can, Emre and Aziz sat around the table, all happy to see each other. " Well dad I suppose Can has told you about Sanem, the girl that has swept him off his feet." Emre emphasized. Their dad smiled, " Yes, and you could take some pointers from your brother, you need to settle down and get serious about someone." Aziz spouted, giving him the eye. Can laughed, " That's impossible, not him, no one will have him thats why he was to keep changing girlfriends." He spouted. Emre slapped him on the back as he went by, " Yep, I like a variety if you know what I mean," he said, his eyes wide. Can shook his head, " Not me, i want to be with some one that knows me, inside and out, that can answer my questions before I even ask them, someone that I miss even when they are there." Thats a soulmate.....

Aziz smiled, " My son's in love," he thought, " he was sure of it. He couldn't wait to meet her........

His mind returned to a time many years ago, and a woman that had stolen his heart just like that....he was glad his son was smarter than he, and wouldn't let her go........
