Moonlight 💫

~Chapter 26~

Ates felt betrayed and confused by his mother's actions. Especially since Ates and Vural had a strained relationship due to their supposed rivalry. Ates was filled with a mix of emotions, from anger towards his mother for keeping such a big secret, to sadness and confusion about his true identity and family ties. He couldn't believe that he had been living a lie for over 30 years, and now he didn't know where he belonged. As he looked at Vural, he couldn't help but feel betrayed by his own mother and lost in this new reality.

He felt like he had been abandoned by everyone he trusted, including his own mother. He had no idea where to go from here, and all he wanted to do was find answers and make sense of it all.

" Bora I know this isn't easy , I know it's a lot to take in and I won't rush into making a decision, but Ates is my son and he's your brother I want you both to get to know each other I want us to start over as a family please think about it " Vural said as cupped Bora's face

Bora nodded, his eyes full of emotion. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He finally opened his eyes and said, "I will think about it."

Bora then walked toward Ates and hugged him tightly "i'm glad to have you as my brother" he said meaning every single word

Ates smiled and hugged him back. He whispered in his ear, "I'm happy to call you my brother too." They stayed like that for a few moments before they both let go.

For the first time ever since he came back, Ates felt at home. He felt happy and loved. Vural being his Father was still something he had to accept, something he had to familiarize himself with. He wished that one day he would be able to call him "Dad." He wished that one day he would feel connected to him. He hoped that one day he would look at Vural and not see a stranger or a former enemy but his Father, the one he never got to have, the grandfather of his children, the one who would feel connected to him. He hoped that one day he would look at Vural and not see a stranger or a former enemy but his Father, the one he never got to have, the grandfather of his children, the one who will bless him when he gets married one day, his rock, someone he knew he could count on no matter what, His Beloved Father.

He was determined to create that bond, and he knew it would take time, patience and understanding. He was willing to put in the effort to make it happen. He was determined to accept Vural his father no Matter however long it took.

there was so much going on in life it all felt so unreal , he couldn't help but of how different his life in the US was there was no drama , no complicated love triangle he felt like a character of a Tv show ,Ates sat in his car in front of the restaurant unable to start his car due to the overwhelming emotions he felt .

As Feraye stormed out of the company building, she could feel the weight of the dark clouds above her. The moment she stepped outside, the sky opened up and rain poured down heavily, drenching her to the bone. Feraye cursed under her breath, not even bothering to look for shelter as she started running aimlessly.
Her mind was a chaotic whirlwind of emotions, and she found herself replaying the events of the day over and over again. She didn't want to call Yaman; she didn't want to hear his voice and the concern that would undoubtedly be there. She just needed space, time to clear her thoughts.
Amidst the rain and the pounding of her feet against the wet pavement, Feraye's mind drifted to Ates. Ates, with his brooding eyes and enigmatic smile.

The memory of their last conversation lingered in her mind, his words haunting her even now. She couldn't deny the pull she felt towards him, the way he seemed to understand her in ways that no one else did,even when he was upset with her he always seemed to know the exact way to make her heart flutter ,he always knows what to say and do .
