The Pain of Abandonment

The Pain of Abandonment
Blinded by lies and manipulated by those closest to her, Sanem makes a choice that shatters her world. Now, with Can gone and the truth revealed, she must find a way back from the brink of despair and reclaim the love she lost. But can the pain of abandonment be healed?

The pain hits hard again. The pain of abandonment.

It's been two weeks since Can walked out of the hospital and out of my life. Two weeks since I stood there, paralyzed by doubt and manipulated by lies, and didn't take his hand. My heart aches with a constant, dull throb, a physical manifestation of the mistake I made.

My sister, Leyla, and Emre, Can's brother, have been my anchors in this sea of regret. They see the shell I've become, the vibrant girl replaced by a quiet, withdrawn figure haunted by 'what ifs'. Even my own inner voice, usually a source of comfort, now echoes with self-recrimination.
