Moonlight 💫

~Chapter 25~

Feraye stood in front of Yaman as he kept swaying. The smell of alcohol was heavy in the air. "Why were you with Ates?" he yelled, his voice echoing through the grand living room of the mansion. ''I spent the whole time at thai stupid Gala looking for you '' he yelled .

"You belong to me, Feraye! How could you even look at him after what he did?" he continued. Feraye's heart pounded in her chest, torn between anger and sorrow. Tears welled up in her eyes as Yaman continued, "If Ates hadn't come back to Turkey, our baby would still be alive!" She felt a mix of guilt and frustration, knowing she had to face the ghosts of their past to find any peace.

She closed her eyes with a big sigh ,how could he say that about his own brother ? As if Ates wasn't ready and willing to be Father to her baby ,he was the only one who saw her pain and was willing to help her even though he didn't know the full story he never asked for anything in return.

She took another deep breath and steadied herself, meeting Yaman's eyes with a newfound resolve.

"Yaman, you can't keep blaming Ates for everything that went wrong, Stop blaming him for the loss of our Baby that had nothing to do with him and you know it" she said, her voice firm. "He was there for me when you were lost in your own world, and it's time you accepted your part in what happened." Yaman's face twisted with a mix of anger and hurt, his eyes narrowing as he processed her words. He took a step back, stumbling slightly, and clenched his fists at his sides. 

"You don't understand," he muttered, his voice shaking, "I loved that child more than anything, and you... you just let him in."

''Yaman for once in your life can you stop acting like the victim , you didn't even know the baby and you wouldn't never know that I was pregnant if Ates hadn't saved me from the burning the night you decided to break my heart by marrying my step sister ,the night of my birthday remember? '' Feraye's voice trembled as she revealed the painful truth, her heart aching with each word.

She had kept this secret buried for so long, and finally letting it out felt like lifting a heavy weight off her shoulders. Yet, she couldn't ignore the fear of how Yaman would react to this revelation, unsure if it would push him further away or finally make him understand her pain, but she realized that she didn't care about what he thought anymore his opinions didn't matter anymore ,the love she once had for him is gone ,The only person she cared about was Ates .

Reflecting on her emotional transformation, Feraye realized that the pain and betrayal had ultimately made her stronger. She had moved from a place of dependency and longing for Yaman's approval to a newfound sense of self-worth and determination. Embracing her love for Ates, she understood that her journey had led her to a place where she could finally prioritize her own happiness.

''I don't care about none of that Feraye, I am thankful that he saved you but why did he need to propose to you and all that ?, he knew you were pregnant then and still chose to marry you and wanted to raise another man's Child. You don't find that weird? ''

Feraye's eyes softened, a mixture of sadness and resolve in her gaze. "He didn't just see me as a burden or a mistake," she replied quietly. "Ates saw the real me and chose to love both me and the child unconditionally. That's something you could never understand. Maybe if he stayed by my side and didn't marry someone else Ates wouldn't have had to feel the need to help me , the fact that he wanted to marry me even though I was carrying another man's baby says a lot about him '' 

 Feraye's feelings for Ates were deeply rooted in gratitude and admiration. He had stepped in when she was at her lowest, offering her a lifeline and unwavering support. Over time, her gratitude blossomed into genuine love, a love that was built on trust, mutual respect, and the understanding that Ates saw her for who she truly was.
