Chapter 102

Sanem and Can were sitting outside having dinner with their parents and Emre and Leyla.

SANEM: "the doctor said Asli may come home tomorrow. We can put them in the guest room. This way Asli doesn't have to go up and down the steps."

CAN: "sounds good bebek, but I see your thoughts are really else where , what are you thinking."

SANEM: "I just can't understand, how her stepfather can hurt her like this Can, that poor girl, even Ela had it tough."

LEYLA: "they're going to need our support, we will help them get through this."

EMRE: "I agree, listen, we were thinking, let's cancel our trip, we can take it at the end of the summer. "

GRANDFATHER AZIZ: "I agree with Emre, there's going to be a lot of healing and we all have to help."

MIRIBAN: "I agree."

MEVCABI: "us too, anything the girls need we're here."

Can and Sanem were smiling, feeling blessed how great their family is.

CAN: "okay, end of the summer we can take our trip!"

SANEM: "sounds good, Can, I'm not coming in tomorrow, I want to be here when Asli comes home."

EMRE: "we're all going to be here, I talked to Derin, she will take care of everything."Can hugs his brother

CAN; "thank you brother. Okay let's finish our dinner and get the girls room ready."

The next morning Aziz and Asli were waiting for the doctor to come in to give her the okay to go home.

AZIZ: "what are you thinking bebek.?"she's looking in the mirror

ASLI: "look at me Aziz, I look abnormal, I look awful, how can you look at me like this."he takes her in his arms and kisses her softly

AZIZ: "bebek look at me, you look beautiful, do you think I fell in love with you just because your beautiful, and for your hot sexy body, I fell in love with you because of who you are, your beautiful good heart, how sensitive and caring you are towards everybody.   I love you for you, you glow from the inside out. I love you for you princess." She's crying and hugs him tightly

ASLI: "how can a girl like me be so lucky to have someone like you to love me."

AZIZ: "I think it's the other way around, how can a beautiful, sweet sensitive woman fall in love with a wild card like me. Because you know, I'm kind of a free spirit. But you have tamed the wild beast, and I think your cousin has done the same with my brother." They both start laughing.

ASLI: "I love you so much, thank you for being by my side."

She looks at him in the eyes with so much love. "Aziz when you're with me I feel safe, like no one can hurt me or touch me."

AZIZ: "Bebe, I will protect you with my life, I will always be with you, forever."

He kisses her again and held her tight.  There was a knock on the door and the doctor walks in.

DOCTOR: " Asli, everything looks good, and don't worry about the swelling you will be back to normal in no time. And if you need a professional to talk to let me know, I know you think you don't need it, but sometimes we bury things deep inside us, and we need to set them free so we can be free. ( he smiles softly) so I'm Here if you need anything."

ASLI: "Thank you, I think I will talk to someone one, like you said I want to be free of the past." The doctor and Aziz smiled they were happy that she is willingly to see a doctor for help.

DOCTOR: "wonderful, I will put her numbers down on your paperwork, as soon as everything is ready you can go home, and one more thing, your a very lucky young lady this man loves you very much, and you have the biggest support group I ever saw ( he starts laughing) even the nurses thought so. Okay I'm off to see other patients, good luck to you both!"

When Asli and Aziz got home everyone was there to welcome them, from aunts to uncles ,grandparents and fiancées and girlfriends, they put up balloons and a welcome home sign. Ela went and hugged Asli they were both crying.

Asli couldn't believe the welcome she had, tears were rolling down her cheeks. Can and Sanem went and hugged her.

SANEM: "Asli your home, this is your home now , and this (she scans everyone with her hand) is your and Elas crazy family to now."

CAN: "and when she says crazy she means crazy."

They all start laughing. Aziz walks her into the room that her and Ela will be sharing. She turns around and hugs him tight. He wipes the tears from her eyes.

AZIZ: "Bebek, don't cry, we're a good crazy not a bad crazy."she starts laughing hard and so does he.

ASLI: I love your crazy family, I want to be here forever,"

AZIZ: "And you will, I'm not letting you go for anything princess. Together forever." He kisses her again and hugs her. "Go take a shower and I'm going to take one too and I will meet you in the kitchen for lunch. Or we can take shower together (she looks at him and starts giggling and turns beat red) you know since you're in pain I can wash you." And winks at her

ASLI: "I don't think so Aziz Divit, go and I will see you soon."

AZIZ: "you used my last name, I guess it does mean no."she slaps him on the arm "go!" He walks out of the room, and she is smiling actually feeling happy and free for once.

Everyone was enjoying their lunch, Ela and Asli were so happy, they both feel like a weight has been lifted off of them.

GRANDFATHER NIHAT: " Ela, your mother is she in the neighborhood.?"

ELA: "No she's a maid for an older couple, I thought it was a family, but it's not, I haven't talked to her for a while, even when I call she doesn't answer, I just want to see if she's ok." Nihat looked at his Father Can. He knew that his son wants to find out what happened to Ela's mother. Can nodded that he understood.

Later that day, Elkin and his father Metin came to updated the girls on the stepfather.

METIN: " okay girls, I think your stepfather will be in prison for a while. The judge was presented with a lot of information about years of abuse Asli, your neighbors stepped up and confessed everything."

Asli was crying she was so happy. " plus the house is yours, you can do whatever you want with it."

Asli had a smile on her face, she knew exactly what she wanted.

ASLI: "Metin, I want to sell the house and open up a house were kids who are abused can go to for help, maybe we can get volunteers, counselors to help."

ELA: "I agree, that's a great idea Asli!!"

Can looks at Sanem and smiles. They see how proud the boys are of their girls.

CAN: " they remind me of you my love, always thinking about others never about the money."

She scratches his beard and kisses his cheek.

SANEM: "that's because I had the perfect man by my side, my soulmate." He pinches her cheek.

ASLI: "Elkin, Metin can you help, I don't know how to go about this stuff."

METIN: "of course we will"

ASLI: "I don't have much money but you can take your pay out of the sale of the house,"Metin looked at Asli with the most caring eyes.

METIN: "no payment is necessary, we are family, and this what you're doing, is exactly what I would have done." She gets up and hugs him and thanks him. " you're welcome. Okay back to the office to get to work on this project." Can walked Metin to the car.

CAN: "Metin, I need for you to do me a favor, I want to use your detective to find Ela's mother in Izmir" he went on explained everything he knows.

METIN: "I'm on it brother don't worry"

They hugged each other and he left.

The next morning Can and Sanem and there girls went to work, the boys stayed home with Asli and Ela.

DERIN: "Sanem how are the girls, how is Asli?"

SANEM: "their ok I guess, I'm just happy that he's in jail, and he will get what he deserves,"

CAN: "Derin what's on the schedule today?"

DERIN: "well Maria called, she's coming in today, I think she's upset about her goons as Sanem would say."

CAN:"that's her problem, I don't want to sign a contract with her. She's a pain"

SANEM; "I agree, it's not worth it. She can find another advertising company."

DERIN: ok, settled, I'll call her and let her know."

Derin was walking out of the office when she sees Maria at the front desk. "Oh boy "

DERIN: "too late she's here!"

CAN:"okay, let her come in. I'll talk to her."

Maria walks in with an attitude, especially towards Sanem. When she looks at Can she softens.

CAN: "okay Maria, here is the deal, no contract!" He was stern and angry.

MARIA: " why because those so things you called girls influenced my co workers and then got them in trouble."

Sanem was seeing red. She got up into her face

SANEM: "you!! Just crossed the line, the girls are good honest hard working woman, do you understand! Your goons stuck something in their drinks , you know, something called the date rape drug!! And if it wasn't for my sons being there they would have been raped . So you can take your account and get out of this office right now, because I'm telling you don't push any more of my buttons. You come in here and flirt with a married man my husband! who's not even interested in you!! And then your goons drug the girls, thank god there was only very little in there alcohol, shame on you!!! Your disgusting!! Maria couldn't believe how she just talked to her.

MARIA: "how dear you talk to me like that!!! They were good employees, the girls are lying." Metin walks in Derin called him.

METIN: "see that's where you're wrong? The drinks were tested, here is the police report, I think your best bet is to leave quietly and never come back."

Maria just looked at everybody grabbed her bag and walked out.

Sanem is walk back and forth, she is very very angry, Can is watching her and has a huge smile on his face, he's so proud of her, Metin saw how angry she was and decided to go see Derin, don't mess with an angry Sanem.

SANEM: "do you believe her, really, defending those goons of hers and the way she looks at you, that alone makes me want to pull out all her hair extensions!!!"

Can couldn't help it, when she said about the hair he started laughing. She looks at him confused. "Excuse me and why are you laughing."

CAN: "god Sanem when you get angry you say the funniest things"

He goes up to her and grabs her by the waist and pulls her against him. " And I am so hot for you right now, where leaving and going to the hut , to be alone, I have to have you princess." She looks down and smiles

SANEM: "well I'm glad I still have that effect on you."

He grabs her by the hand and they head to the hut. " don't you think we should finish our work first and then go to the hut?"

CAN: "no way bebek, now!!" And they left.

They got to the hut, and Can, was ready but so was Sanem, he takes her by the hand and pins her up against the wall and starts kissing her roughly and then down her neck. They started taking each other's clothes off.

CAN: bebek, I can be one hundred years old and you will still have the same effect." She start giggling

SANEM: "me to my love."

They made love a couple of times, and layed in Each other's arms holding each other tightly. He kept kissing her neck.

CAN: " it feels good to be alone for a little while, holding you in my arm naked. Pressed up against me."

SANEM; "mmm it does my love, we should get away more often."

CAN: "your wish is my command, this Friday here at the hut just me and you."

SANEM: "sounds good to me, and she kisses him, but we should get home, don't you think?"

CAN: I guess, let's get going." They driving home and they kept looking at each other smiling like teenagers.

Can's phone rings it's Metin.

CAN: "Metin, you missed us already, you just saw us a couple of hours ago." They both laugh " what's up brother?"

METIN: "I have some news on Ela's mother."

Can put Metin on speaker

CAN: "where is she?"

METIN: "she's in Izmir working for, you're not going to believe this."

CAN: " who spit it out"

METIN; "Huma and her husband, it seems she married a very wealthy man, and Ela's mother is her right hand, she does everything for her, her mothers name is Hande"

CAN: "I can't believe it after all these years, she's back in our lives again! What the hell"

METIN; " I'm sorry Can. She hasn't called her because she's threatening her, that she won't pay her anymore, and she will not be able to work anywhere else, she won't even give her a day off."

CAN: "okay, but at least she could call her daughter, I don't get it , just to let her know she's okay."

METIN: "She took her cell away, I guess Huma thinks if she talks to her daughter that she will want to leave and come back home.  Can, she treats her like a slave and I guess she's scared of her."

CAN: "I guess we're going to Izmir tomorrow, Huma is going to get the surprise of her life." Sanem looked at Can. She felt so bad for him. Takes his hand in hers and rubs it and kisses it.

SANEM: "don't worry my love I'll be right next to you, I know this isn't going to be easy."

CAN; " I love you bebek, I think it's time Huma met the whole family, it's time for her to see what she missed out on!" Sanem smiles and scratches his beard

SANEM: "I agree, it's time the kids know everything."

He pinches her cheek.

CAN: "my sweet Sanem , I love you."

SANEM: "I love you my one and only."
