Moonlight 💫

~Chapter 35~

Feraye woke up to the gentle embrace of Ates, his warmth providing a sense of comfort and security. She smiled softly, taking a moment to admire his peaceful expression before planting a series of tender kisses on his nose, chin, and finally, his lips. Each kiss was a silent promise of her growing affection, careful not to disturb his slumber, as the early morning light cast a golden hue over the room. She quietly slipped out of bed, determined to surprise him with a homemade breakfast. As she tiptoed to the kitchen, Feraye envisioned the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and pancakes filling the air, hoping to start their day on a sweet note.

She gathered the ingredients, humming a soft tune as she mixed the batter for the pancakes. The sizzle of butter in the pan signaled the start of her culinary endeavor, and soon the kitchen was filled with the rich scent of coffee brewing. Feraye carefully flipped the pancakes, ensuring they were golden brown, and arranged them on a plate with fresh fruit and a drizzle of syrup.

As she prepared breakfast, Feraye couldn't help but smile. Today was finally the day she was going to divorce Yaman and finally be free ,free from his manipulations and lies. A mix of excitement and nervousness bubbled within her as she thought about the new chapter ahead.

She felt a sense of liberation at the thought of shedding the weight of Yaman's deceit, yet there was also an tinge of apprehension about the uncertainty of the future. Nonetheless, Feraye was ready to embrace change, finding strength in her love for Ates and the promise of a happy life together. Her relationship with Ates was a beacon of hope amidst the chaos, a reminder of what genuine love and trust felt like.

Unlike the tumultuous years with Yaman, Ates brought a calmness and sincerity that Feraye had long yearned for. With each moment spent together, her confidence in their bond grew stronger, making her believe that a future filled with happiness was truly within reach.

Feraye planned to meet with her lawyer in the afternoon to finalize the divorce papers and ensure everything was in order. Afterward, she intended to take a quiet walk in the park to gather her thoughts and reflect on the journey that had brought her to this pivotal moment. In the evening, she hoped to celebrate her newfound freedom with Ates, sharing a simple yet meaningful dinner at home.

As Feraye was pouring coffee into a mug, she suddenly felt Ates's warm hands gently wrap around her waist. She smiled as he kissed her cheek and spun her around playfully, making her laugh. "Good morning, my love," he whispered. His eyes were filled with warmth and affection.

"Good morning," she replied, her heart fluttering with joy. "I wanted to surprise you with breakfast, but it seems you caught me in the act."

Ates chuckled softly, "Well, consider me pleasantly surprised. Everything smells amazing, just like you." They shared a tender moment, savoring the simplicity of being together, knowing that their love would guide them through whatever lay ahead.

As they arrived at the courthouse, Feraye's earlier excitement began to morph into a wave of anxiety. Her mind raced with questions—what if Yaman didn't show up, or worse, what if he tried to sabotage her happiness by hurting Ates? The thought of facing Yaman made her chest tighten, and she felt her breath quicken. Sensing her distress, Ates gently took her hands in his, grounding her with his steady gaze.

"Feraye, listen to me," he said softly, brushing a stray hair from her face.

"No matter what happens, I'm here with you. We'll face it together, and everything will be alright." His calmness was infectious, and as he leaned in to kiss her forehead, she felt a surge of reassurance. With Ates by her side, she knew she could confront the past and step boldly into the future they both deserved.
