The ride to the farm was a very quite one. Ibriam pulled through the opened gates turning down the lane toward the house that was once Sanem's. All she saw was over grown weeds on each side of the lane that was once maintained by Bulut. "Ibriam, don't they have anyone here caring for the land"......."No, they needed it to have a look of a old run down property to make it seem like a old farmer lives here so no one would think it is our headquarters. But, the houses are kept maintained and livable" They finally reached the house. Ibriam carried Sanem bag took it in the house. Her furniture was gone and the decor was changed to more of a bachelor's pad. "Can's stayed in the master bedroom upstairs on the left."........"I am going to walk around outside before I shower, if you don't mind"......."Not a problem, take all the time you need"........She heads out and walks toward the barn and the pasture. It was even showing signs of it falling apart. The pasture that the horses once ran through was full of overgrown tall weed. She walked further down to where her field of wild flowers had grown. You couldn't tell if any flowers were growing from all the tall weeds. Standing there she cried thinking about how her Gram and her had worked so hard to plant them so they could make her creams. Even the paths that lead to the waterfall could no longer be seen. She then walked down the road toward the water. When she came to it. The pier was still intact with a small outboard boat tied to a post. She sat down at the end of the pier and glazed out across the water. Sanem felt so disconnected to the once beautiful property that she Loved so much. Even the presence of her Gram could no longer be felt.  Eventually she slowly made her way back to the house. Walking in Ibriam was sitting on the black leather couch playing video games "Ibriam, I am going to freshen up now."........"OK" She climbed the stairs and went into her old bedroom closing the door behind her. She saw Can's clothes were thrown on the unmade bed as she went over to go out on the balcony. Reaching the railing to look all around down below, the pool was drained with green slim laying on the bottom. Even the stone walkway could barely been seen from the overgrown bushes. Her heart sank down to her stomach from the sadness she felt from this once beautiful land. She than went in to take a long hot shower to warm herself from the chilly air crying her heart out. When she finally got out she threw on a pair of jeans and a sweat shirt of Can's with a hoodie attached. She slowly gathered his things placing them in his bag. She found his cell phone on the bed and saw it was dead so she plugged it in to charge it without turning it on. As promised a briefcase was on the bed along with several large envelopes. So she picked them up and went into the walk in closet. To the left were cabinets with drawers in them. She opened each on that were filled with sheets and blanket. Opening the very bottom she saw the hand-made knitted blanket that her Gram had made for her, taking it out she sat on the floor and held I close to her heart, for it seem to be for a long time. She sat it to the side so she could take it home with her. That's when she knew it was time for her to have closure to the once peaceful home of her.

She then pull a large drawer completely out and saw the safe that Bulut put in for her. She punch in the numbers and opened it. Everything that she put in there was still the way she has placed them. She grabbed the stack of envelopes out that were held together by rubber bands and behind them was stacks of money bundled in the original packs that she received. She then took the empty envelopes and placed the money in them like her Uncle Mitat told her to do. She loaded them first in the briefcase and took the others and placed them on top. She closed the lid and locked it than put the drawer back where it belonged. Grabbing the blanket as she got up, went over to the bedroom door opened it and yelled for Ibriam to come up and help her carry her things downstairs. "Did you get what you needed" Ibriam asked as he walked in the room. "Yes, can you carry the briefcase and Can's bag. I got mine and the blanket. Will you take me back to the Hospital now" They both headed out to the car seeing her Uncle pull up. Mitat could see that his niece was drained and totally exhausted. He went to her and gave her a hug "Thank You for letting me come here to get my things and take a shower."........."Not a problem my girl. You get yourself back to your husband before he wakes up. Sanem, please get some rest. I will see you soon"........"I won't rest until I know Can is alright and we are back home" He kissed her on the cheek and helped her get into the car. Ibriam was putting everything in the trunk when Mitat walked back to him "You guard the briefcase for her and tell the doctor or nurse to give her something to help her sleep. Aziz will take the briefcase and lock it safely in his office for her."........"Don't worry Mitat. I got it all under control. She is my dear friends wife and I will see that she is taken care of until Can is able too. She has had a very rough few days and I promise to talk to the Doctor when we get back"........"Call me with an update" Ibriam gets behind the wheel and drives way. Sanem turned around one last time looking back at the house. She finally got her closure, promised herself to leave this in her past and never come or look back.
