Can 'Albatross' Divit, current Olympic Gold medalist in high board diving, suddenly disappears from his seemingly extravagant and decadent playboy lifestyle of late night partying, after a very public disagreement with a young attractive female journalist. He's branded as arrogant and sexiest by the media, loses his lucrative sponsorship deals, and finds his reputation in tatters. A year later, he returns, looking fitter and sharper than ever, vowing to re-claim his life, stand up to his accusers and defend his Olympic title. Plus there's the the small matter of revenge against the beautiful naive young woman who started the whole chain of events, that changed his life overnight. However, he hadn't factored in the surprise secret that she had been keeping that would stop him in his tracks.

A story about what Can and Sanem go through after he leaves the hospital. But, it will not take them a year to find each other again. The mistakes and misgivings of both from that night will finally bring them back together, but, they will have to work through a lot to trust each other again. This was the one part of the storyline of EK that has stayed with me, the brokeness of both Can and Sanem, I wish the writers had taken the story in a different direction or at least had them back together soon.

She had left, leaving behind only a small sheet of paper on which was written: "I am leaving ... When I am ready to do it, I will return. PS: Emine, don't worry about me. With love, Zeynep " Welcome to my new ZeyBar story, a different story about Zeynep and Barış from Doğduğun Ev Kaderindir.

He is gone, Can is gone, and Sanem must learn to live his life without the one who had become the centre, the essence. Two souls hundreds of kilometres apart, lost but never forgotten, two hearts beating the same rhythm without having the courage to admit it.

When she is only 19, her biggest supporter - her mother - finds out she is sick. Zeynep works in three places at once to earn money for her mother's treatment. When she realizes that the money she earns will not save her mother, Zeynep is forced to make a decision that will change her forever. She accepts Mehdi's offer - a foreman at the neighborhood car service - and marries him on the condition that he pays for her mother's treatment. After four years of marriage, Zeynep is no longer the same. She has not seen her mother for two years, has no friends and rarely leaves the home where she lives with her husband.

Zeynep and Barış's progress and development has been exceptional till now. So good and so pure. They have become one of my favourite Dizi couples. Hopefully we get to see them together in future. So here I am writing one-shots for them as the show goes on.

"Seni seviyorum, Zeynep. Seni çok seviyorum." It's always freeing when you say it, especially out loud and to her. You take a beat. You ready yourself. "But asking you to marry me was a mistake."

This is a short story inspired by the Turkish tv show Doğduğun Ev Kaderindir. It's based around the blossoming relationship between Zeynep and Bariş aka ZeyBar. I was inspired by a tweet I saw talking about a "what if" fantasy of Bariş and Zeynep flying off to London together on a business trip. After the events of episode 27-28, I was wishing more than ever for Zeynep to fly away from all of this madness and just be allowed to live. I was listening to the song "Blackbird" by the Beatles and all the pieces fell into place in my mind. So I hope you enjoy this what if wish.
