An unforgettable night's vacation. SEYFER

~ Chapter 9 ~

Morning came quickly over the small Italian village, the golden rays of the sun illuminating the cobblestone streets and the surrounding green hills.  Seyran awoke early, felt the light softly enter the room through the thin curtains, and a sudden sense of calm washed over him.  However, inside her, there was something she couldn't control – a kind of turmoil that came from her feelings for Ferit.

Memories of the previous evening came flooding back to him.  The long walk with him along the quiet streets and the moments when their words seemed to have stopped time.  He was more than she expected, more than she imagined, and now every thought of him made her feel more complicated.

As she stood at the window looking at the scenery in front of her, Suna knocked lightly on the door and walked in, a permanent smile on her face.  "Good morning, sister! What's on your mind today?"

Seyran laughed lightly.  "I don't know yet. The day has just begun, but it looks like it will bring more than I can predict."

Suna looked at him with an attentive and curious eye.  "What about Ferit? What's going on between you two? I feel like something is changing."

"I'm feeling it too," Seyran admitted.  "There's something between us, but it's complicated. I don't want to rush or make any mistakes."

Suna, as always full of simple and straightforward advice, moved closer.  "I think you should see what you feel. Don't think too long. Sometimes the heart knows better than the mind."

Seyran thought for a moment.  Her sister was right.  It was tiring to analyze every feeling, every word and every action.  Sometimes, the present required courage to follow what made her feel alive.

After breakfast, the group of friends decided to spend the day exploring an old castle in the surrounding hills.  Seyran and Ferit were standing next to each other, but not close enough to attract the attention of others.  It was as if each was waiting for the other to make the first move, to speak about the feelings that had grown between them, but neither dared to break the silence.

Their walk along the castle was fascinating.  The ancient stone walls, covered in thick greenery, seemed to hold many stories of old loves, and they could both feel their energy.  At one point, when they were passing through a small hidden courtyard, Ferit stopped and lightly grabbed her hand.

"Seyran," he said in a quiet, serious voice.  "We need to talk."

Seyran felt his heart beating faster.  She knew this moment was coming, but now that it was happening, she felt unprepared.  "What happened?"

Ferit looked into his eyes, a look that showed clarity and determination.  "I know these days have been strange and unexpected for both of us. But I don't want to pretend these feelings don't exist. I feel attracted to you, and I want to be honest about it."

His words were direct and broke down every wall Seyran had built within herself to protect her heart.  She felt his warm hand on hers and thought of all the moments they had shared these days.  She was sure of one thing – her feelings for Ferit were deeper than she had admitted to herself.

"I feel something for you too," Seyran admitted, feeling a kind of release he hadn't experienced before.  "But it's hard for me to accept it so easily. This vacation will be over soon, and I don't want to make things more complicated."

Ferit squeezed her hand a little tighter, as if to reassure her that she had nothing to fear.  "I understand your concern. But, I think we should give what's going on between us a chance, without thinking so much about the end. Sometimes, the best things happen when you don't plan for them."

Seyran looked at him suspiciously.  He was right.  Perhaps she had spent too much time worrying about what might happen later instead of enjoying what was happening now.

"Okay," she said slowly.  "Let's see what happens. But please, Ferit, I want everything to be honest and open. I don't want games."

"I have no intention of playing with your feelings," Ferit replied, giving her a sincere smile.  "All I want is to spend time with you, get to know you better and see where this takes us."

With this silent promise between them, they continued walking along the castle, feeling a new sense of closeness and security between them.  Although the future was uncertain, at the moment, they both felt that they were on the same path, and this made them feel more relieved.

In the late afternoon, after spending the day exploring the castle, the group returned to the small town to have a communal dinner.  The atmosphere was calm and friendly, but there was a silent tension between Ferit and Seyran, a feeling that was slowly building with every moment they spent near each other.

At the table, while everyone was enjoying the fresh food and talking to each other, Ferit and Seyran only shared quick glances, filled with an intensity that only they could understand.  While everyone else was joking and talking about the day's adventures, the two were engrossed in their own world.

"How are you feeling?"  Ferit asked as they walked past the restaurant, away from their group.  His voice was low and intimate.

Seyran laughed lightly.  "Tricky. But maybe it's time to stop thinking so much and see what comes next."

"I agree," he said.  "Sometimes, it's better to let yourself go with your feelings."

They stood in silence for a few moments, enjoying the silence that spoke louder than words.  They both knew they were at the beginning of something new, something that would change their future.  But for now, all that mattered was this moment – ​​here, under the Italian sky, filled with unspoken feelings and endless possibilities.

Heyyyy people. I don't know what I can say about yesterday's episode, I expected the end of the episode to be better, but no.
I think it can be a dream, but there is also a chance that it won't be a dream. Mert and Afra do an excellent job, but the screenwriters are all to blame.  Anyway, I hope that the next episode will be better.
