EPISODE 56

                                    

                                          
The next morning, Can and Sanem were preparing to head out to find the albatross's mating nest. Aziz and Mihriban came knocking on their door. They decided to spend the day on the beach and would not be going with them. They asked if Ates could stay with them. That way they could get to where they needed to go without stopping. Sanem was OK with that, as was Can. Ates left with his grandparents and Can and Sanem headed out. They stopped for breakfast on the way. Can knew they would need a helicopter to get to where they needed to be in order to see the albatross's nest. Can stopped to see if someone could take them close to the albatross's nest. A helicopter pilot said he could do it. He just needed to fuel up and then he would be ready. Soon, Can and Sanem were in the air traveling to their destination. The helicopter pilot dropped them off and said he would return in about 4 hours to pick them up. Can thanked him and said that would be fine. Can and Sanem had to hike for a little while to get to where they needed to go. Sanem didn't mind the hike. It was beautiful out. They soon arrived at the top of a small mountain. Can pointed to the albatross nest. There were females in the nest, but no male albatrosses. Can sat down with Sanem between his legs. Her chest against his back and they waited. Can had his camera ready to take some awesome pictures. 
                          
After about an hour, the male albatrosses started flying in. Sanem could not take her eyes off of them. It was the most beautiful sight she had ever seen. Each male albatross found its mate. Can was snapping pictures like crazy. Sanem's eyes were feeling with tears. She had waited her whole life to see this and it was so worth it. Can wrapped his arms around her and kissed her cheek. Can whispered in her ear that he loved her. She turned her face and kissed his cheek. She told him she loved him so much and thanked him for bringing her here. He made her dream a reality. He told her he would do anything for her. She deserved to have her dreams come true. Can continued to hold her while she watched the albatrosses mate. After a while, the male albatrosses flew away and left their mates. Sanem turned around in Can arms and kissed him deeply. She placed her hand against his beard and called him her albatross. Can told her he may be her albatross, but he would never fly away from her again. She was his mate for life. He kissed his wife. Soon, they headed back to where the helicopter dropped them off. They waited for a little while until to pilot returned to pick them up. Once they arrived back to land, Can paid the helicopter pilot and Can and Sanem went in search of food. They were starving. They found a little café and went in. They sat down and looked at their menus. They ordered their food and some tea. Can reached across the table and grabbed Sanem's hand. He asked her if she was happy. Sanem smiled and said she was extremely happy. Her dream finally came true and she got to share it with the love of her life. Can smiled and asked her who the love of her life was. Sanem smiled mischievously and said she could not remember his name. Can looked at her and told her to try really hard to remember. Sanem said she still could not remember. Can stood up and sat in the chair next to her. He gave her a passionate kiss and asked again who the love of her life was. Sanem with her eyes still closed said it was coming back to her. Can kissed her again, even more passionately. He then asked if she remembered his name. Sanem smiled and touched his beard. She said she remembered his name. She looked into his eyes and said he was the love of her life and always would be. She kissed her husband deeply. Soon, their food arrived, and they dived in. Sanem was giving Can bites of food from her plate and he was giving her bites of food from his plate. 
                          
After they ate, they headed back to the hotel to see their son. They missed him today. They knocked on Mihriban and Aziz's door, but nobody answered. Sanem told Can they were probably out getting something to eat. They entered their hotel room. Can secretly put the Do Not Disturb sign on the door before shutting it. He locked the door after shutting it. Sanem said she was headed to shower. She felt dusty from their hike. Can said OK. He waited until she was in the shower. He stripped off and entered the shower behind her. He embraced her from behind. He whispered in her ear that he felt dusty too. He started nibbling, biting  and sucking on her neck. Sanem leaned back and gave a little moan. Can caressed her body while he was sucking her neck. He raised his head and began washing her hair. After rinsing her hair, he started washing her body. Once she was rinsed off, Sanem washed her husband's hair. He had to bend down due to him being taller than her. She then washed his body. Once he was rinsed off, he took her in his arms and kissed her deeply. Sanem opened her mouth wider to give him better access. Can picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. Can made love to his wife right there in the shower. Once Sanem could stand on her own two feet, she washed Can once again and then he washed her. When they were done, Can turned off the water and exited the shower. He wrapped a towel around his waist and then wrapped a towel around his wife. Sanem went and sat on the bed. She applied her lotion and then towel dried her hair. She started to brush her hair out but Can took the brush and did it for her. Once he was done, he moved her hair to the side and dived into her neck again. He nibbled and licked his way down her neck. He whispered that he could not get enough of her. Sanem told him she could not get enough of him either. She asked him if it would always be like this. Can told her yes...always and forever. Can made love to his wife once again and then afterwards, held her in his arms. She laid her head on his chest so she could hear his heartbeat. Sanem raised her head and told Can they should go get Ates from his father and Mihriban. Can said he knew, but he was having a hard time moving. Sanem giggled. Sanem asked if he was getting to old to make love more than once. Can looked at her and asked if she wanted him to prove he was not to old. Sanem smiled and said no. They soon got up and got dressed. They headed next door to see if Aziz and Mihriban were back yet. Can knocked at the door and Mihriban answered. She let them in, and they found Aziz on the floor playing with Ates. Mihriban asked how it was seeing the albatrosses. Sanem said it was breathtaking. It was an experience she will never forget. Can asked how Ates was today. Mihriban told them he was an angel. Ates saw mom and dad and started cooing and giggling. Sanem picked her baby up and told him she missed him today. She kissed his chubby cheeks. Can told them thanks for keeping him. He told them they would meet up in the morning for breakfast. Aziz and OK, son. Can and Sanem returned to their room. Can got Ates' bath ready while Sanem laid out his clothes. 
                          
Soon, Ates was down for the night. Sanem told Can she was hungry and needed a snack. Can laughed and asked what she wanted. Sanem thought for a moment and then said a hot fudge sundae with nuts and whipped cream. Can laughed and said he would call downstairs and see what they could do. Sanem smiled and thank you, love. Soon, Sanem got her hot fudge sundae but it was a double portion with two spoons, so her and Can could share. Sanem told him they did not need two spoons and she fed him a bite. Can then fed her bite. Sanem said yummy. Between the two of them, they finished the sundae in no time. Sanem told Can that hit the spot. She leaned over and kissed his lips. She told him yum. That definitely hit the spot. Can smiled at her. He wrapped his arms around her and held her. He asked Sanem what she was thinking about. Sanem smiled at her husband and said she was thinking about her life. Sanem told him a few years ago, she was a lonely, naïve mahalle girl who believed in fairy tales. She dreamed of her albatross, never thinking he would ever come. She told him she never had a boyfriend or even dated. She was determined to wait for her albatross...her one true love. Then one night during the 40th anniversary party, she was given wrong directions on seating and ended up where she wasn't supposed to be. A man kissed her in the dark and it changed everything for her. She found her albatross, but then she met her new boss and immediately fell head over heels in love with him. She looked at her husband and said how strange that I fell in love with my albatross and my boss. Can smiled at her. Sanem said it was some sort of miracle that her albatross and her boss were one in same. Can kissed her cheek. Can told her he fell in love with the woman he kissed in the dark. He then met his new employee and fell head over heels in love with her. He told her he was so happy his mystery girl and his new employee were one in the same. Sanem told her husband it was fate. They were destined to be together. Can agreed with her. They got in bed a short time later. Can held her while she rested her head on his chest. They both fell asleep quickly. 
                          
The next day, everyone decided to go on a safari trip through Galapagos. It would be by boat, but then by safari vans. They would get to see all kinds of wildlife. Sanem knew her son would love it. So, all five of them headed down to the seaside to catch the boat. Can had stopped first at a local baby shop and purchased Ates a stroller. They all boarded the boat and found seats next to each other. Soon, the boat was on its way. The rocking motion of the boat put Ates right to sleep. Can sat by Sanem holding her hand. He tracked patterns across her knuckles. Sanem loved the smell of the sea. They soon reached the island where the safari vans were waiting for everyone. All five of them were able to ride the same van. Can folded up the stroller and place Ates in a car seat that was available on the van. After everyone was loaded, the van took off. Sanem could not wait to see all the different kinds of birds. As the van progressed on, they all got to see Flamingos, Pelicans, Osprey, Warblers. As they drove close to the sea, they were able to see dolphins jumping out of the water, sea lions, fur seals, and even a Blainville's beaked whale. Sanem could not get over the beautiful sites before them. Ates loved watching the dolphins jump out of the water. He loved the different colored birds. The safari van stopped after a while, so everyone could get off and enjoy lunch. They all sat and looked at their menus. They all ordered their food and then waited. They chatted about all the wildlife they have seen. Ates needed changed, so Can and Aziz took him to the restroom to clean him up. When they return to the table, Can fed him his bottle. When Ates was done, Can put him in his stroller. Ates sat there watching everything around him. He seemed to love all the new sites around him. Soon the food arrived, and everyone dug in. Sanem thought the food was delicious. She gave Can a bite of her food and he gave her a bite of his. They started sharing food right after they met and now, they just do it naturally. Once done eating, they got back on the safari van to finish out the safari. Once the safari was over, they all boarded the boat that would take them back where they were picked up. 
                          
Once they exited the boat, they all headed back to the hotel. They were all exhausted. Aziz told Can and Sanem that they were going to take a cat nap so they could revive their old, tired bones. Sanem laughed and said OK. Sanem, Can and Ates entered their room. Ates was asleep again, so Can placed him in his crib. Sanem had already laid down on the bed and had her eyes closed. Can laid down beside her and pulled her into his arms. Soon, they were both asleep.
