Uncertain Unity Can/Sanem

⚘Chapter-Twenty Three⚘

"When I came back they had taken you away....I tried...I called my handler..." He tried to explain.

"They told me if it hadn't been for you I would have been dead." She closed her eyes taking a deep breath then continued. "Thank you for that....there is a matter we need to discuss but I havn't got time now. So if you give me your number. Or someones who I can contact and talk to on your behalf." She said taking out her phone. The cab driver honked the horn. Sanem held out a finger...telling him one minute.

"What are you blabbering on about, there are a number of things we need to talk..."

"Like I've said about giving me a number, there's only one thing we need to talk about. However someone else can deal with that for you. Apart from that we we have no reason to share the same air to breath."

The cab honked again...Again Sanem told him one minute. Taking out a pen and paper she wrote down Ayhans number and wrote down her name.
"Look this is the number of my friend you can call me through her." She said handing him the paper.

"Oh so you don't have a phone of your own?"

"Of course I do but...I prefer it this way." She told him while turning around and getting into the cab.

"There's no need for us to see each other again." She said closing the cab door.

He quickly reached out and stopped the door from closing. "And what about the baby?" He asked her....getting into the cab with her. Scooting her over and closing the door.

"What do you think you're doing." She asked him. Shocked....by his action.

"Do you seriously think I'm going to let you go again without talking things through?" He gave driver the name of a near by cafe.

"I don't want to talk about it....please pull over." She said to the driver.

"No...carry on please." Can looked at her and gently spoke. "Look I know it's hard but I need some answers."

With that she turned away and looked out of the window. They sat in silence...as the drive seemed endless.

The cab came to a stop...Can got out and came round to her side. She had come out and was standing on the pavement. He paid the driver and came over to her. The cafe was busy...however they managed to find a table in the corner.

Sitting down the waitress came over taking their orders. They sat in silence. Neither one one of them starting. Waiting for the other.

"So.." Can spoke first.

"So.." Sanem replied biting the innerside of her lips.

"It was over two months since we were together." He knew what he was saying would be taken the wrong way...however it had to be said. Taking the scan photo out of his pocket...he slid it over to her. "I have to ask...Was the bab...."

"I didn't come here to listen to this." Sanem didn't let him finish...glancing at the scan photo she stood up....she hadn't come here to be degraded.

He caught her hand....gently pulling her down to sit.

"Hey..." He said continuing to hold her hand....she was looking away from him. He squeezed her hand gently...willing her to look at him.

"Sanem. Hey look at me....Sanem please." He said reaching out and gently turning her to face him. With the tips of his fingers.

"I'm sorry..." He said softly. "I didn't mean it to sound that way."
