A Trilogy "Against the Odds" Book 2

Pulled in Different Directions

A few days had gone by, it didn't take long for the word to get out. CeyCey, Ayhan and Muzzo were happy for Sanem but, Ayhan and Muzzo were beginning to show an attitude toward Sanem worrying about their job at the shop if she did move back to the Farm. Can was pretty good about leaving her alone to let her decide what she wanted to do. It had gotten to the point that everyone would ask her about her plans on a daily basis. She was feeling like she was being pulled in so many different directions. When Can came out of his room where he views the photos and videos on a big screen he saw her sitting at her desk with her head down on her arms hiding her face. "Sanem, are you alright"........ Looking up at her Husband in frustration said "No Can! All I hear come out of everyone mouth is, have you decided about the farm? Where are you going to live? And what about your shop if you move back to Instubal? How in the hell am I suppose to think and decide if everybody keep bugging the shit out of me about what am I going to do? I can't think and right now I feel like I am being pulled in so many directions. I just wish they would leave me alone to think. Can, I know they mean well and to top it all off I hear Ayhan and Muzzo talk about possibly loosing their job as well a some attitude with me. Don't they think I wouldn't leave them on the streets. I am trying to figure out a way to keep them employed with me. I don't know what to do or think anymore? Will you help me please. I really could use your fed back on this because it also will impact you and the twins! Then I have to figure out this Volkan thing."........He felt her frustration and knew when he heard her say to him that she needed his fed back that it was time for him to tell her his thoughts. Can goes over to her desk and sits on the edge of it taking her hands in his placing a kiss on it "OK, I should of asked you what was going on. I stayed away to let you think about what you wanted to do. Do you really want to hear my suggestions?"........"Yes Can I really need it right about now. I feel like I am going crazy"........"Your not crazy! This is what I think we should do and this will include Deniz and Ates. I think the four of us should go to the Farm this weekend. I will call Aunt Remide and ask if it is ok to stay with her. Deniz and Ates have never been off the Island and this way they can have a different scenery. Let's see how they act at the Farm. You and I can look around and see what needs to be repaired, make a list and I will take photos so I can get a general idea what it will cost us to fix it up and that way I can talk to Bulut. I don't even think he knows the condition of the Farm himself. With you being there Sanem, maybe it will help you decide where we should live. It will probably do you some good being there too."........"What about this celebration your Dad wants to have on Saturday?" ........"Personally I think it should wait until you make your final decision. He will understand. I will tell him when we pick up the twins."........."OK, your right maybe going there will help."........"Are you done working?"........"Yes, its been slow so I sent Ayhan and Muzzo home and closed up the shop"........"OK, lets get out of here. We can stop by to see Ozgur about flying us over there"......."Can, Do you think we should ask Bulut to go so he can see the Farm for himself?"......."Maybe we should, it probably will help to get his feedback right there. We'll ask him when we go pick up Deniz and Ates."

Can and Sanem walked down to see Ozgur. He could take them early Fridy morning because he had a busy day of flying tourist around to see the Islands in the helicopter tour rides. That was his job to pass his time when the Divit's didn't need him to take them to the Mainland. To make it easier on them and the twins, they headed over to the Hotel to book a suite tomorrow evening and stay there so they could catch the flight early. Can decided to hold a room for Bulut just in case he would agree to join them. Walking through town to head to the docks. Sanem sees her parents sitting outside the grocery store drinking their tea. "Can, I am going over to see Dad and Mom for a minute"......."OK, I'll pop in to see Emre while you visit with them. Meet me there" They parted ways.

Sanem walked up to her Parent's giving them a hug and kiss. Nihat pulled up a chair and ordered a cup of tea from the cafe' across the street. "Dad and Mom, Can and I are taking the twins to the farm for the weekend. I need to see it and maybe it will help me to make up my mind."........."Good Daughter. Glad to hear this." Mevkibe said. "Sanem, why is it so hard for you to decide?"......."I don't know Dad. Guess the shop is doing well. Can has photos sessions scheduled. We have a nice home here and my Family is here also. Leyla is due to have her babies soon."........"I can understand that but may I say one thing to you to think about." Sanem nodded to her Father "You can't keep basing your life around others. You have your own Family. There is a reason why you still have the farm. It was meant to be. Your Mother and I raised You and Leyla to be independent women and as much as we both Love having you close to us. We never expected you to be near. Spread those beautiful wings my child. Things will work out. You are a smart Businesswoman. Stop worrying about the shop if things are meant to be, it has a way of falling into place. Just keep a open heart and mind. We will be fine if you go and the best part about this we will be able to visit you for a long weekend and you will still be able to come visit us. Sanem we are just over the sea and a short flight away. You, Can and the twins go enjoy this weekend and make that decision together as Husband and Wife." Mevkibe sat there agreeing with everything Nihat was telling Sanem. " Your Mother and I will be here on Monday when you return to wait for you decision." Sanem gets up hugs her Parents goodbye and walks over toward the small Agency to meet Can seeing him coming out of the office. Nihat watched his Daughter and made a soft comment causing Mevkibe to look at him with a questioning expression but didn't say a word "OK, Mother the ball in now in your court. Do your thing in hopes that my baby bird finds what you left for her" He then went back inside the grocery store leaving Mevkibe sitting there.
