The morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the room as Kaya and Suna lay entwined in each other's arms. The tender afterglow of their shared intimacy lingered, creating a serene atmosphere that enveloped them.

Suna's fingers traced idle patterns on Kaya's chest as they exchanged soft words, basking in the connection that had deepened between them. Their conversation was a gentle dance, a symphony of shared whispers that added to the newfound intimacy.

Kaya pressed a lingering kiss to Suna's forehead, his voice a soft murmur. "You make me so happy, Suna."

Her heart swelled with warmth, and a content smile played on her lips. "You make me happy too, Kaya. I never expected us to be here."

As Kaya gently untangled himself to get up, Suna caught his hand. "Where are you going?"

He grinned, brushing a strand of hair from her face. "I thought I'd take a quick shower. Care to join?"

Suna blushed, a shy smile gracing her features. "No, but thanks for the offer." Kaya chuckled, placing a sweet kiss on her lips before heading to the bathroom. As the water started running, Suna's gaze fell on Kaya's phone, which lay on the bedside table. A notification flashed on the screen—Peril. 

Curiosity piqued, Suna hesitated for a moment but decided not to pry into his private affairs. She respected Kaya's space and didn't want to disrupt the tranquility that had settled between them. Instead, she busied herself by getting up and preparing for her own shower.

When Kaya emerged from the bathroom, towel draped casually around his shoulders, Suna couldn't help but notice a fleeting look of discomfort on his face as he glanced at his phone. Sensing that something might be amiss, Suna refrained from asking, not wanting to disrupt the tranquility of their morning.

Maintaining a calm demeanor, Suna excused herself and entered the bathroom for her shower. The warm water cascaded over her, washing away any lingering uncertainties. Dressed in a blue outfit, Kaya's favorite color.

When she came out of the bathroom, Kaya was already dressed, but a tension lingered in the air. Suna sensed it but decided to let him share if he wished. They exchanged a glance, and without uttering a word, they headed towards breakfast.

As they entered the dining area, they found Ferit and Pelin already seated, engaged in conversation with other family members. The room buzzed with activity, but Kaya's distant look didn't go unnoticed by Suna.

They took their seats, and Suna discreetly observed Kaya. His eyes occasionally darted towards his phone, and a subtle furrow creased his brow. Suna hesitated but chose to remain silent, sensing that pressing him might only exacerbate the situation.

Pelin, ever the provocateur, seized the opportunity to inject tension into the room. "So, Suna, any exciting plans for the day?"

Suna maintained her composure, offering a polite smile. "Not really, Pelin. Just taking things as they come."

Pelin's eyes flickered with mischief, but before she could say anything else Kaya abruptly excused himself from breakfast, citing urgent business matters that required his attention. The lingering tension from the morning seemed to intensify with his departure, leaving Suna alone at the table, surrounded by a sea of unanswered questions.

Unable to shake off the unease, Suna retreated to the sanctuary of her room. The opulence that once felt comforting now served as a stark reminder of the intricate challenges woven into the fabric of her marriage.

As she settled into the quiet of the room, a notification chimed on her phone. Curiosity piqued, Suna glanced at the screen, finding a message accompanied by a photo. Her heart skipped a beat as she opened the message to reveal a picture of Kaya, tightly embraced by an unfamiliar girl.
