Testify

Morning went as usual but Sanem could feel that Can was worried about something. She observed him while he was having his breakfast; he was quiet and his mind was clearly somewhere else.

She sat at the table, holding her tea and asked him, ''what's wrong?''

Can looked up, surprised, and automatically answered ''nothing''.

S: ''Come on Divit, I know something is wrong.''

He took a large breath in and sat up, ''baby, '' he caressed her cheek, ''the public prosecutor wants to talk to us on Wednesday... to discuss the trial.''

Sanem fell back into her chair, she remained silent for a while, ''I guess we knew that was coming right?''

He nodded and kissed her finger.

C: ''I love you... we do this together ok?''

Sanem hugged him, ''we do this together'' she said next to his ear, ''we'll be alright.''

Can left for the agency and Sanem walked into her perfume workshop; making scents always made her feel better, it made her forget everything. Her phone rang mid-morning, it was Leyla, she had the day off and wanted to pop by and visit her sister. Sanem was delighted, the sisters rarely had anytime together and she had missed their closeness.

S: ''Leyla!'' Sanem welcomed her sister at the gate and gave her a hug, ''how nice to see you! Come along, I have tea ready.''

L: ''thank you.''

S: ''how come you're not working today?'' Sanem asked while handing her sister a glass of tea and seating on the outdoor armchair.

L: ''thank you. I had an appointment this morning and figured I could take the time to come see you and do a bit of shopping this afternoon.''

S: ''ohhh shopping! I might come with you!''

L: '' I was hoping you would say that.''

S: ''are you looking for anything in particular?''

Leyla smiled, looking excited, yet secretive. ''just a few work clothes, bigger size.''

Sanem frowned, ''bigger? You haven't put on weight?''

L: ''I will soon...'' he smile grew bigger and Sanem finally clicked and stood up!

S: ''Sister?! You... you're pregnant?''

L: ''yes 10 weeks!''

S: ''aaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!'' Sanem hugged her sister, shouting and jumping, ''I am so happy...''

They sat back and Leyla told her all the details the doctor had given her and Osman that morning.

S: ''how does Osman feel?''

L: ''so happy Sanem, he keeps wanting to re-arrange the house already.''

S: ''will you find out the sex?''

L: ''no, we want a surprise and we don't care anyway.''

S: ''awwww I am so excited to be an aunt; I will be a cool aunt!!''

L: ''I am sure you will... you are the only one to know Sanem so tell no one. I will tell the parents soon.''

S: ''sure, sure, yes... I understand. Can I tell Can?''

L: ''no let me do it Sanem, he is my boss and obviously I will leave work for a year or 2. I want to tell him, Emre and Aziz Bey myself.''

S: ''it makes sense, sorry... how am I going to keep this secret?''
