Feraye goes to his hotel, but doesn't find him there. Her next stop is the summer house, then the Gülsoy home, but he's not in either of those places.

She calls Okan.

"Feraye, I don't think it's a good idea."

"I didn't ask for your opinion, Okan," she says impatiently. "Tell me where he is."
.

The house Güneş lives in is secluded, and a little far, so by the time Feraye gets there, she needs to catch her breath. She looks around, and her heart sinks once she finds Ateş' car parked beside an old silver one.

She walks forward, until she reaches the door. Feraye is about to knock when the door is wrenched open and Güneş is staring at her with an unreadable expression.

"Hi."

"What are you doing here?"

Feraye purses her lips. "I need to talk to him."

Güneş scoffs. "You mean you need to berate him like a child while he stands there and takes it."

Feraye closes her eyes in anger. "Who do you think you are?"

"I'm the only person who seems to give a damn about the man."

Feraye rolls her eyes. "Oh, please, stop with the dramatics."

Güneş' face slackens with shock, and Feraye thinks she won for a second. Then Güneş advances on her, closes the door behind her when they're both outside. "Dramatics? It seems you're either sick in the head or you have no idea what the hell has been happening while you were in your love bubble with that rat you call your boyfriend."

"Don't you dare-"

"Stop," Güneş snaps at her, "it's my turn to talk now."

Feraye purses her lips, doesn't say a thing. She's on shaky ground right now, doesn't know which way is up from down.

"You have no idea what he's been through. Did you know Yaman has threatened to kill him three times now-"

"That's impossible," Feraye protests.

"That's what happened," Güneş exclaims. "He also kicked him out of his own home."

She shakes her head, in denial. She doesn't want to hear any of this.

"And that's not even mentioning what you did."

Feraye straightens up. "What I did?!"

"Ateş doesn't talk about you much, but he doesn't have to- everyone else is doing plenty of talking. You're married to the guy, and yet you're parading around with his brother like you're doing nothing wrong."

"We're not!" She shouts, "why won't anyone understand, we're in love."

"So? Does being in love with someone mean you let go of everything else? Does being in love make things like honor, loyalty, family not matter anymore?"

Feraye's anger has her taking a step forward. They're nearly nose to nose, but Güneş looks at her as if she were one inch tall. "You have no right to say this to me."

"I don't care. I'm saying it anyway." Güneş shakes her head, laughs. "You're a pathetic, weak little girl who's gonna end up losing everything because of this-"

"Güneş," Ateş interrupts them, and Feraye turns around to wipe the tears that have fallen.

Güneş turns around. "Ateş-"

He shakes his head. "What are you doing?"

"I'm telling her the things you're too afraid to say. She needs to hear this."
