I invite You to the world of Deb Storm and Kader Gökyüzü, two broken-hearted souls who had gone through life guarding their broken pieces, all the while hoping to find someone who would mend those pieces together. This story takes place in the beautiful land of Turkey. It begins and ends in the magnificent city of Istanbul...

What lays in the past of a person cannot be changed. It cannot be altered. It cannot be persuaded to disappear into nonexistence. Nor should it. The past is as much a part of a person as the future that is yet to be laid out ahead of them. It is in the days that live in the memory of a person that enable the person to decide who they are and who they still have a chance to become. 

Deb Storm was a perfect example of that...

Hesitant at first, Deb agrees to travel to Cappadoccia with one reluctant yet mysterious travel companion, who soon opens her heart to Turkey's culture, its history, and so much more. All because she chose to honor her lifelong dream to one day stand on the breathtaking isle of Maiden's Tower.

I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to Mary Bloyd, @MonicaRita1943 , without whom this story would not have reached its destined spot on paper.

And, to the lady that inspired each and every word of this tale, Çok seni seviyorum❤️.

She will never betray him and when it would seem that his love for her had died on a mountain of suspicion she would bury the pain in her heart if that would save his life.

But the question is, can you be happy and sane if your love forgets your existence over a night? Not at all right? Ada Sharma is a brave fearless girl who has accepted her father's abuse for years just to protect someone unknown whom she has never seen, but still believes he/she is alive. Vidyut Agarwal embodied vulnerability in real life. He believed that nothing is called love in this world, except lust. But she will force him to admit his emotions, proving him wrong. They have hated each other for years but now, destiny is forcing them to love each other, to kiss to heal each other's wounds. Either now or never. But what will happen when his hate will suddenly be turned into his possession for her? Will she accept him as he is or his secret will lead to their separation?

" He said. Yes, he answered me. But why was he behaving this way? I moved towards him and stood in front of him. I just can't get what this means? Was this fake? Why? What did I do to deserve this? " I c-can't understand anything," I said slowly. I just wish this comes out to be a fake thing. All of this a joke. I helplessly looked towards him. He was quiet and looked emotionless.

THE STORMS WITHIN

16 parts Complete

I invite You to the world of Can Divit and his beloved Sanem Aydin. This tale is inspired by their everlasting and transcending love. A journey along time with two souls in love with each other beyond words... I would like to express my deepest and heartfelt gratitude to Mary Bloyd, the Resident Editor for Can Yaman International, without whom this tale would not have seen the light of day... Çok Teşekkür Ederim... In order to move forward with the story of what happened between the time Can and Sanem were married and the time their children enjoyed a wonderful day with their parents, please join me in taking a step back, to the time when Can's heart fell apart, and he realized that only through Sanem's love, and because of it, he was able to mend what was broken, heal from within, and heal enough to feel strong enough to return home to his Sanem... As time healed the wounds, they returned to one another to face a new adventure, a new life, and a new twist of fate none of them saw coming...
