An unforgettable night's vacation. SEYFER

~ Chapter 15 ~

I'm here finally

The next morning, the sun warmed its light over the Tuscan villa, but for many of them, the dawn had not brought the expected calm.  The quarrels and tensions that had started the previous day were still present in the air, and the group could not hide this heavy feeling that was weighing down every moment of their coexistence.  However, just like every other morning, they gathered together for breakfast on the big veranda.

Seyran and Feriti were sitting next to each other, sharing a calm that was unaffected by the tense energy of the group.  This day was supposed to be special for everyone, as they had planned an excursion to the coast nearby.  The view of the sea and its breeze was something that everyone looked forward to to relax and take their mind off personal matters.

But as they prepared to leave, it was clear that some people in the group had other thoughts in mind.  Azra was silent and withdrawn, Carlo looked worried, and Suna was torn between them.  Seyran felt this different energy and decided to approach Suna.

"Suna, what's going on?"  he asked in a soft voice.  "It seems like everything has been turned upside down since yesterday."

Suna let out a sigh and told her big sister everything that happened between Azra and Carlo.  "I feel like I'm caught in a triangle I didn't ask for. Carlo is a very good friend, but it seems Azra has become jealous, even though there's no reason."

Seyran sat closer and took her hand.  "Azra is sensitive. Maybe she doesn't fully understand herself right now, which is why her reactions are strong. It's not your fault, Suna. I think she just needs some time."

Suna looked at her sister gratefully and slightly relieved.  But despite Seyran's comforting words, she sensed that the situation was more complicated than just a temporary disagreement.

Meanwhile, in another corner of the veranda, Feriti and Carlo were talking.  Carlo was calm, but it was clear that something was bothering him.  Ferit, who knew his friend very well, asked him directly.

"Carlo, what's going on between you and Azra? I've seen there's been a few little fights between you two."

Carlo smiled slightly, but it was a bitter smile.  "I don't know, Ferit. Everything started out fine, but now it seems like everything I say or do makes her angry. I love Azra, but she's pushing me away, and on top of that, she seems worried about Suna."

Ferit listened carefully and it occurred to him that, although he had a close relationship with his sister, he had not fully understood her feelings.  He knew that Azra had a jealous and emotional nature, but he didn't think it could affect her relationships that much.

"Perhaps you should open up, Carlo," suggested Feriti.  "Azra sometimes reacts before thinking. If you make your feelings clear to her and reassure her about your relationship, she might calm down."

Carlo shook his head, thinking that over.  "Maybe you're right. I'll try to talk to him, but I'm afraid the situation is getting worse than it looks."

At the same time, Azra was standing alone in her room, looking out the window.  She felt some kind of pressure that she didn't quite understand.  While thinking about Carlo, her jealousy for Suna had grown for no apparent reason.  It was true that Carlo and Suna had spent time together, but she knew that there was nothing more than friendship between them.

Azra made a decision.  She needed to talk to Carlo and clarify her feelings, because this doubt was eating away at her inside.

She went downstairs and found Carlo talking to Ferit.  Casting a quick glance at her brother, she turned to Carlo.  "Carlo, can we talk for a moment?"

Carlo looked her straight in the eyes and gave her a slight smile, but it was clear that the situation was more tense than it appeared.  They left the group and went out into one of the small gardens that surrounded the villa.

Azra took a deep breath before speaking.  "I want to talk about Suna. I've been feeling like you're getting really close lately and… I don't know, it feels like you're pushing me away."

Carlo looked at her calmly and put his hand on her shoulder.  "Azra, I understand your concern, but you know very well that I only have feelings for you. Suna is a good friend, nothing more."

"Yeah, I know," Azra said in a lower voice.  "But I don't know why, sometimes I feel like I'm unimportant to you."

Carlo paused for a moment.  "Azra, you are very important to me. But we can't go on like this, with suspicions and tensions. We have to be open with each other or we will destroy what we have."

His words struck Azra deeply.  She realized that her jealousy and insecurity were ruining her relationship, and it was time to change.

"You're right," she said with a slight but shy smile.  "I'll try to be more open with you."

Carlo pulled Azra close to him and hugged her warmly.  As they stood like that for a few moments, feeling a new sense of closeness between them, Azra felt a great weight lift off her shoulders.  It was a new beginning for both of them, but it wasn't the solution to everything.  Further efforts were needed to build trust and meet the challenges ahead.

While Azra and Carlo were trying to mend their relationship, the group finally headed to the coast.  The sea was stunning, with crystal clear waters gently lapping against the shore.  For many of them, this day by the sea was an opportunity to relax and forget the worries that had followed them.

Seyran and Feriti left the group and went to a deserted part of the beach, sharing intimate moments.  For the first time in days, they felt free from the drama going on between their friends.

"This place is incredible," said Seyran, gazing at the endless horizon of the sea.  "Everything here seems easier, more relaxed."

Ferit looked at her with a deep sense of gratitude.  "It's the way it should be. No tension, just the two of us. I feel like these moments keep us connected and remind us why we're here."

Seyran turned her head towards him and smiled.  "I know there will always be challenges, but I'm glad we have each other."

They spent the rest of the day basking in the calm of the sea and enjoying each other's company.  Although the tensions between the others were not completely resolved, at least for them, this was a bright moment that kept them connected and gave them strength to face any future challenges.
