A Trilogy "Against the Odds" Book 2

Confrontation

Can and Ibriam return from their walk and enter through the open slider door. Aziz and Emre were sitting there talking. "Emre, why were you in Can and Sanem's room searching around. How can you expect to gain trust and get closer to him when you pull a stunt like that?" Aziz asked as Can and Ibriam sat down. "Son, we have bent over backwards for you over the past few months. Can dropped everything to find you. What is your problem. Will you please answer me?"......"I feel like a failure. I lost my job at the Agency, Leyla and that I have nothing to live for"......"Let me ask you this! Were you hoping to find Sanem's briefcase case and take her money if it was in there. If so, do it think it is fair to her. She was about to begin to put trust in you along with Leyla to handle her finances. And knowing on Sanem with her heart made out of gold, would have probably compensated you for your time. Do you honestly think that is fair to her"......"No, does she know"...... "Yes, Bulut, Nihat and I told her. But let me explain something to you. I am working on opening up a small extension of Fikri Harika on the Big Island and was going to let you manage it. Deren will be handling the one on the Mainland. Then eventually it was going to all be given to you because your brother doesn't want it. I thought right now it is best for you to run something on a smaller scale so that I can see you can handle it and prove I can trust you take take it over. Emre, I worked my fingers to the bone to make the Agency what it is today. The last thing I want to see is for it to close because of your lack of trust.. I was not cutting up off by any means. I don't understand where this is coming from. You my boy need to get your shit together and prove to me that you are capable of taking it over. I want to retire Emre! I am tired. So get it out of your head that you have nothing. Do you understand what I am saying"........"I do Dad. I am sorry if I have disappointed you again and will prove to you that I can do it"......"The one you need to apologize to is a your sister in law sitting out there in the hot tub trying her best to deal with the fact that she feels betrayed again by you. Then you need to fix this problem between you and Can. I hate to sit back and see the only two son's of mine be against each other. I want my family back. I can't change the past from what happened between your mother and I but we can work on the now together. Some day I will be taken from this world and when I die I want to have peace knowing my son's are fine and working together. Do you both get what I am saying" Can and Emre said at the same time "We get it"......"Now, let's start right now and work on rebuilding our relationships and become the family that Loves, respects and helps each other out. I am done with this conversation. Now get your head together Emre and go apologize to Sanem and gain her trust again." With that Emre walks out and goes to sit on his balcony up in his bedroom alone.

Sanem was relaxing in the hot tub having a glass of wine with her eyes closed. Can walked up behind her placing a kiss on her forehead "Would you like me to join you?"........"It would be nice"......"Don't go anywhere. I will put my trunks on and be right back"

On the grassy area of the lawn CeyCey and Ayhan were playing with the twin when all of a sudden they let out a scream. It startled everyone and made them look where they were. Sanem stood up in the hot tub looking in their direction and Can was upstairs change into his trunks. "Sanem look the twins are crawling." yelled Ayhan. Sanem rushed out of the hot tub running in the direction of them to see. Can looked out from the balcony grabbed his camera and took off.
Everyone was gathering around to watch the twins crawling on the grass. They saw everyone watching and as they started to show off. CeyCey got down on his knees and joined in on the fun. The three of them were laughing and hamming it up. Can got there and started taking pictures of them. Sanem was saying "Bravo, Bravo my angels" Than the clapping began. They twins stopped, sat on their little bottoms and was clapping along with all the adults. Can was getting some really good photos of them. Sanem went over to him as he showed her the ones he had taken. He then sat down to their level asking CeyCey to move so he could take more. Can and Sanem were all smiles when he sat down next to him.

"Baby, get over there with them so I can take pictures of all three of you" She crawled over toward them as Can took some of her ass in her bathing suit smirking to himself snapping away. The three of them were chasing each other around in circles laughing. "You are gonna have your hands full now Can" Mevkibe said "Its ok. I'll make it fun"......."I'm sure you will" Can couldn't stand it and wanted to join in the fun "CeyCey, here take the camera and take pictures of us" He got down on the ground and crawled toward Sanem, Ates and Deniz. The babies got more excited when they saw their dada coming toward them. One went one way and the other went another wanting him to catch them. Can went for Ates and Sanem went for Deniz. They caught them and layed down together as a family as laughter could be heard from all four of them. CeyCey was able to get some good shots of his best friends.
Up on the balcony Leyla came out to join Emre as they watched. Emre said to Leyla. "I want that.........with you Leyla. I screwed up big time. Do you think we could reconcile someday and have a Family. I never stopped Loving you" She stood there for awhile then replied "Emre, the divorce papers were never filed. I still Love you. I am willing to give it a try again but, under one condition" He looks over at her "I will do whatever you want"........."You will take me out on dates first. No sex and no sleeping together. We will go to a marriage counselor to get help to fix our relationship. We'll see how it goes and then we will see about having a family"

He then takes her cheeks into his hands and says "I will abide to your request Leyla and will work hard to win you back into my life. I am so so sorry that I hurt you. Please, I beg to ask you to forgive me."........"Don't tell me these word Emre just show me" With that being said Leyla walks out of the room and goes to join everyone enjoying Ates and Deniz milestone.
