*Not in Zeynep's POV. Just wanted to show the Konur Goktug moment*
Konur looked back at the Hatun as he walked away. The rocks behind the obasi, she had said. He nearly ran, as Goktug -well Kongar for now- never had wanted to see Konur himself. Plus, the proof from the market. He clutched the document as he entered the rocky hill.
"Komutan Kongar?" Konur start calling his name. Hopefully he didn't trick the dark eyed Hatun. He hears a twig break, and turns around, his hand on his kılıç. "Call me Goktug."
*pretend there is that sad music from Dirilis and Kurulus here*
"Kardeşim?" Konur runs to his Abi and elopes him in a hug. Surprisingly, the mankurt doesn't let go. "You found your way my brother, without my proof. Allah has guided you to the right path, and may you stay on this path." They hug and sit on some big rocks across from each other. "Eyvallah, Abi." The words still felt weird on Goktug's tongue, as it had been a long time before he worshipped Allah. He asks his brother what he can do for repentence from their Rabb.
"Ashedu an la ilaha illallah ve ashedu ana Muhammedin abduhu va rasuluh" they say the shahada and Goktug has a sudden grin on his face. "I feel so cleansed Abi." Konur lets out a chuckle and pats him on the back. He thanks Allah inside, for making Goktug find the right way himself, without force from Konur.
"Abi," Goktug starts. "Ne Kardeşim?" But he was in his own world. All he could think about was those big brown eyes, staring up at him. Her voice was sweet, her words soft. "Ehh, Konur, I see you love her too." Konur jolts back up, "Ne? Who? Kim?" Goktug laughs at Konur's blush. "The girl who fetched you for me, she blushed when I said your name, and you are blushing too." Konur's face gets even redder. "Already starting these jokes, huh Goktug." Konur laughs nervously.
Goktug sighs and turns away, with a bright smile on his face. He already felt so much better here. He has a tribe, a family. Konur looked even happier, but Goktug suspected it was because of that Hatun.
