Uncertain Unity Can/Sanem

⚘Chapter-Eleven⚘

In this whole time she had avoided looking at herself...tonight she stood in front of the large full length mirror in the room. It had been wrapped up but she had unwrapped it...this was something she had been avoiding. She didn't want to see herself all bruised, she didn't want to be reminded...but the 'bruises will heal after some time' she thought. She could avoid looking at them...but what about the memories...would they ever go away?

Standing at the mirror she now looked at her self...her bruises now healing soon there would be no trace of them. She touched her face her arms...her hand came to rest on her tummy, Sanem felt an emptiness she had never felt before. It was as if she had lost something...as if a part of her was missing. Although the baby had been part of her for such a short while she felt his absence strongly. Maybe it was the guilt she was feeling. A tear fell from her eyes...quickly wiping it away as she heard Layla approach. It was too late Layla had seen her...coming and hugging her from behind...looking at her in the mirror.

"Hey what's wrong?" Layla asked.

"Nothing I was just looking in the mirror."

Layla went and started to cover the mirror again."I thought I'd covered that."

"Leave it Abla...You had covered it, but I wanted to see." She wiped her eye's and nose with the tissue Layla had given her.

"You know it's ok to grieve...Sanem." Layla took the covering off the mirror. Coming and standing behind Sanem...placing her head on Sanem's shoulder while looking at her in the mirror and hugging her from behind

Sanem turned to face her breaking the hug...she wanted to forget and knew if Layla continued to hold her she would break down.

"No...Abla I'm fine really....it's probably a blessing disguise. I mean what good would have come of it if the baby had been born to a mother like me?"

"Sanem...stop that's enough... sometimes things are just not meant to be. Love...It wasn't your fault do you hear me. Now I didn't want to talk about this at the moment....but we will when you're feeling a little better."

"Listen Abla, I really appreciate you being with me but it's really not fair on you having to miss out on family time with Emre Abi and Zehra. They shouldn't have to pay for my mistakes." Sanem said.

"Do you really think I'd leave you at a time like this? You're just as much part of our family. Emre understands Sanem...he may not show it at times but he loves you just as much as I do. Now no more talk of this..."

"Ok but ..."

"No buts...no you just have a lie down and I'll bring you a nice warm drink." Layla gave her a kiss and left the room.

Standing at the door for a moment... she watched as Sanem covered the mirror and got into bed. In the two weeks that she had stayed at the hospital her bruises were healing but God knew how long it would take for her to get over this...if that...forgetting it was out of the question.

That was the thing she was most woried about. Once she was well enough she would talk to her sister about ending this marriage. She needed a clean slate to start over...and that was the best place to start. Wiping the the tear that had sliped out of the corner of her eye she went to get Sanem the drink.

Can

It had been a few days since he had first gone to her apartment. He'd gone back there few times since but still nothing. How can a reporter with such a reputation conceal her private life to this extent? And here he was the agent...who couldn't even find a clue. He'd got his colleague to carry out an enhanced background check on her. But still nothing...it seemed she had risen from thin air. She had used alias on her undercover work....he had tried everything. He was having no luck what so ever.

He was determined to sort this whole mess out before he went on his next assignment...but that wasn't looking very likely. Having just received his new papers yesterday. After looking through them he found out that he would be going under cover for three months...so it said...but he knew well that these assignments were very rarely straight forward. There was was a big chance that the assignment could take longer then the time stated.

Today was his last chance to try whatever he could. So for the last time he had gone to her apartment. Still no luck...so again he had gone to her place of work...after staking out her office to make sure her bitch of a boss had left...he had gone in to ask her co-workers question's. Zilch...he had no damned luck...even his charm hadn't worked on her colleagues. As he was leaving her office he noticed a worker who seemed like they had recently started working there he went over to talk to her....in the hope of getting something...anything. By this time he was desperate.

Since he had received his orders he was somewhat regretful. 'I should have taken some time...not stupidly jumped from one draining assignment to another' It had been so long since he'd visited his parents...for some reason he was longing to see his Anne and Baba.

After the fight he'd had with his Anne he had only visited them two or three time. In three years that didn't give him such a good image of a son. On those occasions it his Anne had not mentioned marriage once in front of him. Giving him the expression that she had given up with the whole thing. However he knew her well enough to know she hadn't given up. He'd found out that the times he'd visited she had arranged convenient meetings with girls she had hoped to be optional wives for him. Luckily he had found this out...so he would politely decline behind his Anne's back.

If she ever found out about his so called marriage...she would never forgive him.

'Well you're lucky she never will' He thought... 'Hell you can't even find the damned girl yourself' he told himself.

He had to be content that she was fine and the time would come when he would have all the time to find her and finally meet her and get the answers he needed. And once and for all they could sort this whole Goddamned mess out.

Running his hand trough his hair...this was out of his hand for now until he had completed the new assignment and God knew when that would be.
