Uncertain Unity Can/Sanem

⚘Chapter-Twenty Three⚘

Taking a long deep breath...what about Polen. Anne had said about her family coming in a day or two. Well that would be even more drama to look forward to. If she was anything like she was as a teenager. God he should just have stayed back at work. It would have been less stressfull.

What was domistic bliss...a load of crap that's what it was. They use these phrases to reel a person in... then show them reality. That life is not all a bed of roses. 'Poor suckers'....he said laughing out loud.
Then realisation hit him...why the hell was he laughing...he was on his way to becoming a member of the 'Poor Suckers' club.

******

Thankfully...Sanem had avoided him the whole morning. She had been late waking up...after being awake most of the night thinking about their little rendezvous. Well 'tricked into' rendezvous...she should say.

Anyway luckily for her he was no where to be seen. Later she had overheard teyze tell someone he had gone out to the fields with the other men. She knew that meant they would be back late...this giving her some peace of mind. She spent the rest of the day without worry. In the evening she had an early snack so didn't go for dinner...and spent the whole evening in her room.

******

Where the hell was she???. He had been out since morning and hadn't seen her all day. They were sat at the table for dinner. Everyone was there except Omer and Sanem...he couldn't exactly ask about her. No...that would be too obvious. Grateful when CeyCey voiced his thoughts.

"Teyze where's Omer and Sanem?"

"Omer went out with his friend and Sanen wasn't feeling to good...so opted for a early night." She told him.

Thank God...for a minute he thought they were together. 'So what if they were it wasn't any of his business'. He told himself. God what was wrong with her?...he thought. Did she need to see the doctor. Should he go to see her?. He was going crazy...the thoughts running around in his head...making no sense at all.

"What!!!.. she wasn't feeling well? Ayhan...you didn't say." CeyCey asked.

"Yes she had a headache and felt tired...so I told her to have a lie down. Ayhan was out with you...so she didn't know." She told CeyCey...then looked at Can. "Can love...is everything ok. You haven't touched your food."

"Hmm....yes Anne it's all good." He smiled at her...his mind on thoughts on how could he see her....may be...

"Can...Can..." His Anne called him. "Love your Baba was asking you a question."

"Sorry Baba...you were saying?" Can asked...his mind else where.

******

Where was Ayhan, Sanem thought... she had been cooped up in the room for what seemed like hours. However after looking at the clock it had barly been any time at all.

At this rate that snack she had earlier would have metabolized and she would start to feel hungry again. After faking the illness she couldn't very well turn up at dinner. The whole reason she had stayed in her room was to avoid him.

She sat down on the edge of the bed face between her hands puffing away. Suddenly she heard a tapping at the window. She went over and looked out at the side...there was no one there. Going back to the bed....again she heard the tapping. This time she moved the curtain to the side and had a good look outside.

******

He'd seen the curtain twitch...then nothing. He picked up some more small pebbles and threw them at the window again. This time she moved the curtains aside and looked out.

She saw him in the shadows...'Oh God' she thought why couldn't he just leave her alone. Ignoring him she went and closed the curtains again.

He knew he was taking a chance going there. Futher more he knew 100% she wouldn't come down to meet him. So...he had to be content on just seeing her through the window.... untill tomorrow.

******

She had dragged Ayhan down to the orchards with her.

"Where's my time?" She complained to Ayhan."All you do is be with CeyCey. I'm feeling left out...all alone."

"Oh come on Sanem you know you're my girl." She said putting an arm around her. "I'm just getting to know his family...he's background....and besides you have your handsome husband..." She teased her.

"Ayhan....Shussh someone might hear." Sanem said looking around.

"Sanem...who could be here...it's out nowhere." She said waving her arms up and twirling around.

Sanem went up to her pulled her by the arm. "Stop....silly...you're going to feel dizzy....and there's no way I'm carrying you. Putting her arm through Ayhan they headed back.

******

As they approached the main house. CeyCey and Can were chatting. On seeing them CeyCey went over to Ayhan. Putting his arm around her shoulders...he looked around before pecking her on her cheeks.

Leaving Can and Sanem in the open courtyard. He came up to her as close as he could without touching her.

"Have you been avoiding me?" He asked quitly.

She cleared her throat. "Whatever gave you that idea?" She replied... looking everywhere but at him.

"Sanem...come on we're both adults the least you can do is not lie about it."

"Listen I don't know what you're talking about...but I've told you before and I'll tell you again...stay away from me." She hissed....walking away from. He reached out to grab her arm.

In heated conversation, they hadn't noticed the SUV approach and the occupants come out. A man...woman and a young woman.

As he gripped her arm...she raised her hand and was about to remove his hand.

"Sanem!!!..." The young woman exclaimed.

"Polen!!!." Sanem recognised her.

Can instantly removed his hand...and looked from one to the other.
