SANEM AND CAN: OUR LIFE WILL NEVER BE BORING

CHAPTER ONE

As she was flying down the dirt road from the hut, she was thinking how much she hated Sanem and even Can for discarding her after all these years. She realized that Can had never cared for her, just used her as a bed partner a couple of times a year.  She had always known he wasn't faithful to her, but this was the ultimate betrayal.  He actually loved this innocent girl from a Malhalla.  It was so stupid.

She had not gone far when she saw a bright pink color to her right.  It was Sanem jogging slowly down the road with a flashlight, now if she were brave enough she would just run over her.   She started laughing hysterically, and thought I will just scare her a little.  She sped up and swerved toward Sanem, when her high heel shoe got caught under the gas pedal.

Sanem turned slightly when she heard the car, but it was too late, as Polen hit her hard with the car.   Sanem  rolled down the embankment, into the woods, out of sight.    Polen got the car stopped, and jumped out, but could not see anything off the side of the road.   She was shocked when she looked at the front right bumper of the car, as it was dented badly and had blood on it.  She jumped back into the car and sped away.

She kept thinking what will I do now, what if I killed her, where should I go?   Who can I call?

When Sanem stopped rolling, she tried to sit up but the pain in her left shoulder was so severe, she screamed and passed out. 

  Through the woods, there was a small cabin that a young man named Bulut lived in part of the time.  He usually works on a farm on the coast.  He just happened to be at the cabin picking up extra clothing, when he heard a loud scream and noise.   He took off running through the woods toward the noise.  Fortunately he knew the woods like the back of his hand, as he had grown-up there.  He thought the noise came from near the dirt road, up the hill behind his cabin.   He had a huge flashlight in his hand, because his cabin did not have electricity.  He would keep looking till he found whoever is in trouble.

Polen had reached the main road, when she realized that the headlight on the right side was out.   She slowed down and stopped, because she certainly did not want to be pulled over by the police.   She decided to call Can and see if he would answer.  Even though cell phone coverage was not good on the road, Can did have a Wi-Fi antenna at the hut.   She dialed his number and after a few rings he answered.  She told him she had hit something on the road, could he come check the car for her?  He said, "I will come, but we may have to call the car rental auto service, if much damage."

Can shook his head, thinking so much for wanting to be left alone.   He got into his truck, and headed out to see what Polen had done, when she had her temper tantrum.   As he drove carefully down the dirt road, he was looking to see if an animal or something was on the side of the road in distress.   He just saw some scuff marks in the dirt, where it looked like Polen had slammed on the brakes.   He stopped, got out, and looked over the side, but only saw where it looked like something rolled down the hill.  He got back in the truck and went on down the road to see what Polen had done to the rental car.

As Bulut was going through the woods, he noticed what looked like a truck on the dirt road above, stopped.   Before he could get over there it was gone.   He kept going in that direction, when he saw something bright pink in the distance.  He ran that way, and found someone lying on the ground.   He very gently rolled them over and realized it was a young woman, she did not open her eyes, but she was breathing.

He was saying "Hello", and feeling for a pulse, it was fast but regular.  He felt over her legs and arms for any breaks, but when he touched her left upper arm she moaned, and he saw blood on the bottom of her jacket.   He very carefully lifted her in his arms, protecting her neck as best he could.   He realized that she was very tiny and weighed very little.   She was easy to carry out of the woods, but it still took about forty-five minutes thru the brush, protecting her as best he could, to get to his truck   She did not wake up once, and he was very concerned that she might have a head injury.    He very gently placed her in his truck, and then ran back in the cabin for his water bottle, in case she woke up.

Can pulled over on the side of the road, where Polen was parked.   She jumped out of the car and said, "Did you see anything?"

Can said, "What do you mean, what should I see?"  She replied, "On the side of the road?" Can replied, "Just your skid marks in the dirt, why did you drive off like that, it was stupid on these roads?"  He went up and looked at the side of the car, and said, "Wow, whatever you hit either died or is badly injured, the bumper is crumbled, and there are spots of blood.   Did you see what you hit?   We need to call the car rental auto service, to come pick this car up.   You had better not drive it anywhere else, until it's checked." 

  Polen very quietly got into the truck, while Can called and gave the auto service the directions to come pick up the car. All she could think about was what if I killed Sanem?   Can drove her to his house where her luggage was, and told her to go to bed in the guest room.  He changed clothes and went for a run.

Bulut took Sanem to the local Emergency Room. All he could tell them was that he had found her in the woods, near his cabin.   Law enforcement was called when the doctors discovered that it looked like she might have been hit by a car.  She had a fractured shoulder and left arm.  She had some cuts on her hip and side that needed stitches.   She was covered in bruises and scratches all over her body, especially her left hip and shoulder from a hard hit, and her shoulders had fingerprints from being grabbed.
