Original subtitles

Are you weeping?

It's not your concern!

I found out the truth.

My mom told me everything.

How we were unjust to you,

Lies of Necmiye

the tricks that rotten man Selim pulled...

I found out about everything.

I'm so sorry, Feride.

That's also not my concern.

Feride!

My Feride...

Give me a shot.

I will do everything I can to make it right again.

I just want one more chance to make you forget all these things,

so we can be like how we were before.

We cannot be like before.

There is no such paradise, Kamran.

Think of a broken vase. Will it ever be the same again?

Let's say you gather all the broken pieces

into a pile and glued them.

It looks just like it did.

Can you put water in it?

Can you grow a flower in it?

You can't.

Water will leak out,

and flowers will wilt and be broken.

You and my aunt wilted the flowers that had bloomed in me, Kamran.

It's not at all possible for things to be same as the past.

Feride!

There must be a way for it.

You can't just cut ties and be done.

There must be a way to make it up to you, Feride.

Not this time.

Because some wounds, no matter how much you bandage them,

never heal,

Doctor!

Is Cumali the reason you don't get on?

We're going to the port.

Feride, what are you up to? Where are you going?

Could you please hurry? I'm going to miss the boat.

No!

Potato?

No! Potato is not here! Thanks to the both of you.

Can I call you my Pinky, then?

Don't bother saying anything!

How nice of you to call me Potato or Pinky.

Those are the magical words of Kamran Bey, right?

Feride will just be normal and forget everything after hearing them!

No, Kamran.

Sorry, but this subject is deficient of such sympathy this time.

You're right, Feride. I know.

I am a jackass.

But I am willing to do whatever you say or desire

for you to forgive me.

As long as you don't rid yourself of me.

Whatever I want?

Whatever you want.

Unconditionally, without a question.

Unconditionally, without a question.

Good.

Then leave here, Kamran.

What?

You heard me!

You asked me what I wanted, and I'm telling you.

I want you to leave here, Kamran!

Get off the carriage and go!

You want me to go?

Gülmisal has this relative.

A nephew, Vahap. Kind of a plain kid.

And so?

I'm saying,

should we call for him?

No one will accept a pregnant girl in her present condition.

Of course, you're used to this from before.

Just like you did for your sister Ayse,

you'll fix someone up for your daughter.

Vahap the simpleton, or if not, you'll find an old guy.

What are we going to do when she starts to show?

What will we say to everyone?

What's going to happen to this girl, Seyfettin Bey?

Let her die!

Let her die!

Let her die so she can save herself and us!

I don't have a daughter named Necmiye!

Necmiye is dead to me, and today I'm burying her.

I'm done with her!

Done!

Here you go.

Have a good trip, madam.

It was your late mother's ring.

Your dad put it on her finger on the day of her 17th birthday.

I've waited till the same age to give it to you.

It's very elegant and beautiful.

Just like my beautiful girl.

I'd actually planned on it being your and Kamran's engagement ring, but...

Of course not, Aunt.

With Muddle-headed? Not a chance!

Besides, I'm still studying, and too young!

Doesn't matter. It's the intention that's the key.

That's the intention I had when I placed it on your finger.

Aunt!

Welcome.

What time is the boat to Tekirdağ?

It's about to leave.

But I don't have any money...

If you don't have money, go elsewhere.

If you'll let me finish what I was saying!

One ticket to Tekirdağ.

It's genuine.

I'm going to miss the boat!

Fine.

Here is your ticket. Have a nice voyage, madam.

Where is that boat going?

Where did you get that ring?

A young lady left it. Why do you ask?

Why did she leave it? Where did she go?

What's it to you, brother? Are you here for a ticket or an interrogation?

For both!

Stop, all right. She got a ticket for Tekirdağ.

Give me one ticket to Tekirdağ.

Take that, too.

And give me back that ring.

Cumali!

But Gülbeşeker is you, Mummy.

What?

Didn't I tell you not to bother me?

No.

You told me to get off the carriage and I got off. Then I got on a boat.

I'd actually planned on it being your and Kamran's engagement ring, but...

Of course not, Aunt.

With Muddle-headed? Not a chance!

Besides, I'm still studying, and too young!

Doesn't matter. It's the intention that's the key.

That's the intention I had when I placed it on your finger.

Aunt!

Speak of the devil!

Mum, these shirts were not ironed.

Give them to me, my pasha. I'll have them ironed.

I'll bring them back in a few minutes.

- What's going on? - What's that mean?

What are you hiding?

Nothing.

Apparently it was my mother's.

It's beautiful.

Give me that hand.

Let's see if it fits those chubby fingers.

I tried. It doesn't!

Let me have a try.

You've worn out the ring.

Don't you hear the door?

Good day, Neriman Hanım.

We've never had the honor of meeting before,

but we know each other well.

Selim Bey?

Levent Bey sent me.

Hasn't that killer been hanged yet?

I require your assistance.

That idiot Necmiye must have said things.

The engagement is off.

That girl is my only guarantee. In love. Stupid.

Easily pliable to my suggestions.

Isn't the Lovebird your legally wedded wife?

Why are you wasting time on Necmiye?

Take the Lovebird, it's your right, after all.

Save yourself and me.

As if she'd be silent and settle for her fate!

That won't work. We would end up in court.

Things would be dug up.

Your secrets would be discovered.

That girl is our only leverage.

If you still want Kamran, you must help me.

Kamran!

Get the hell out of here! Beat it!

I don't understand. He just hit that man!

My God.

What have I done to deserve this, Dilber?

Where should I go? Where can I go?

- Slowly. - Wait, wait.

Frankly, my lady,

I wouldn't have called off the engagement.

He actually had an interest in Feride.

What if that bastard turned the two siblings against each other?

What about that girl's situation? With that baby in her tummy?

She wasn't really forced into his bed.

Honestly, my lady, if I were you, may God help me,

I'd smooth things over.

I wouldn't pry into whether he had an interest in Feride or not.

Just be quiet and marry off your daughter.

Everyone is well in their place.

Neither Seyfettin nor Kamran would give Necmiye to him at this point.

He'll be lucky if they don't drive him out of Istanbul.

I swear they'd be making a mistake.

Besime Hanım was saying this morning that

they want to fix up Necmiye with that nephew of yours.

You mean poor Vahap.

Well, if that's what they deem appropriate.

What can I say, Nuriye? I hope things turn out well.

I hope this girl can save herself before getting into any more trouble.

Her jealousy and envy are the main causes of the things that happened to her.

They are quite patient, really. If I had a daughter like that...

Peace be with you.

God forgive me.

Girl, what nerve you have to show your face here.

I had to go to the market, that's why.

And you just stopped on the way?

Go, sister. Go somewhere else. Go.

Aren't you being a bit mean, my black-eyed Nuriye?

Why are you shooing me off like a chicken?

Look at me.

You should be thankful we didn't rip out your hair.

Go. Move it. Go.

Look at the grown woman, is that appropriate behavior?

What do I have to do with the faults of my lady?

They are a man and a lady, they'll kiss and make up in a few days.

You and me, we are the foot soldiers.

We'll end up being together again.

That's why we shouldn't be fighting, sister Gülmisal.

Girl, she is still chattering away.

Her mouth is nonstop, like a crying donkey.

Move it! Shoo! Move it!

Listen here. Don't spread your misfortune around here!

Go on! Get, you vermin. Get out.

Go. Move it.

Get out of here. You despicable vermin!

Help, neighbor! They have no conscience. Help!

They threw me out!

What? You're going to beat me up? Beat me up?

You have no shame, do you? No shame whatsoever?

Don't you have any conscience?

Show mercy! Please, show mercy!

- Just a bit! - Coquette!

She is only doing it to spite us.

Sister Gülmisal!

Goddamned hussy!

Don't you have any conscience? Have you no shame?

Don't do it! I beg of you, please don't do it.

- Don't hit me! - Nuriye! Gülmisal!

Besime Hanım! Oh, thank God.

If you hadn't come by, those two were going to kill me.

You took care of me all that time.

I just wanted to see how you all were, but...

We won't mind if you don't stop by, Münevver Hanım!

Neither you nor your lady need ever stop by.

Very well then, take care.

Move it. Move it.

Wait, my lady. Let me help you.

These people have no concept of shame.

God!

I wonder with what audacity they come to my house and knock on the door?

What else do they want from us?

As if they have nothing else to mess with!

What do they want? What else do they want?

What else? That jackal Neriman must have sent her to get information.

They're curious as to what we think and say.

That piece of trash got what she deserved.

I roughed up her face well, I was going to break her.

No. They have ulterior motives.

Someone who is searching for information would be more subtle.

You're saying she was here to cast a bad spell

on the house or something like that?

- Yeah. - Oh, come on! Really, Gülmisal!

That was weak.

They have more insidious, treacherous desires.

There is some other motive behind what they're doing.

Something covert about Münevver showing up here.

Who knows what that black widow is scheming.

What if she was here to see Necmiye?

Who cares about that?

After all that's happened, Necmiye wouldn't even spit on her face.

No. I'm not that certain.

I can't say I know my own child, Dilber!

That Münevver continuously peered up at Necmiye's room.

I'm certain they're cooking up something.

I'm going to go have a talk with her.

Necmiye!

Two, please, brother.

- Thank you. - Enjoy it.

Aren't you hungry?

I can buy one myself if I get hungry!

Of course you can.

But when I bought one for myself,

I realized I couldn't enjoy it without you.

All right.

In that case,

you have to enjoy eating it alone.

- Thank you. - Enjoy it.

Necmiye! Necmiye!

What is it? What deceitful games did you come to plan here?

I've brought news from Selim Bey but it was my mistake to do you a favor.

Stop. All right. Tell me.

He is sad because the engagement was canceled.

He says, "If Necmiye took one step towards me, I'd take ten."

Pull the other one!

God knows what kind of a twisted game you and Neriman are up to.

Really all you guys can think of are lies and accusations.

Look here. You think this is a game, too?

My ring!

Did Selim give it to you?

- What did he say? - What could he say? He is miserable.

He doesn't want to call off the engagement.

He wants to marry you.

If your father and brother approve.

They wouldn't.

We could elope!

I can gather my things and we can run off tonight.

No, no. He has no intention of making your folks angry.

He respects and loves them. He says that they're his family.

That means it's really all up to what you can do.

My gosh! You really don't know anything, girl!

Tell them you are pregnant. They'll be forced to allow the engagement.

I've already tried that.

And they still canceled the engagement?

Dear! My poor dimple chin Necmiye.

Your family wrote you off a long time ago.

I curse their conscience.

As if you were not the honor and the daughter of the house, but a stray dog.

They knew you're pregnant and still canceled the engagement?

Oh, my!

It's obvious they're doing this so that you commit suicide.

It's better off to be without parents like that.

I've delivered the news. The job is done.

May God help you.

What exactly did Selim say?

Well, you know you two did not exactly have the best start,

but then he grew fond of you,

and the way things turned out,

he's really sad, the poor soul.

He wants to start a family with you.

Kamran is truly stupid.

Why is that?

While he had a lady like you, with a kid like Lovebird...

He wanted to play house.

And I let it happen.

I have no qualms about Kamran's fling with Feride.

But I suspect you certainly do.

Isn't she considered as your honor?

I doubt they would attempt such intimacy.

Kamran truly values Feride.

And this doesn't bother you. Correct?

My self-confidence is just as sound as yours, Neriman Hanım.

Feride is mine in any case.

Please. Don't get irate.

We are both on the same side.

Just trying to give you some advice.

You can't make a woman commit with a ring or a wedding.

With love,

if not by force.

I don't believe the things I have done had anything to do with kindness.

How far can I push it?

Please, I beg you. Don't get me started.

There are many ways for a man to compel a woman.

I would be most interested in availing myself of your experiences.

What would she do if she was carrying your baby?

Would she still say, "That man is not my husband" and object to the wedding?

Feride.

I'll wait until you tell me to come.

Go, Kamran!

I don't want to have more bad memories of you. Go!

But I'll still be waiting here to offer you nice memories.

Feride!

- Sister Müjgan! - Welcome!

- Welcome! - Thank you.

Why didn't you call ahead? We could have met you at the pier.

I wanted to surprise you.

Crazy girl. How wonderful!

Mum?

Mum, look who is here.

Who are you looking at? Did you come with Kamran?

No! No! I'm alone. I came by myself.

Good. Come on. Get inside.

Mum?

Give me your bag.

Auntie! How are you?

I saw you and I am better now.

Come, take a seat. Come.

How are you?

You came by yourself?

Where is Kamran? He usually brings and takes you.

He had some things to do.

That's unbelievable!

Last summer he had a fit

when he found out we were sending you back alone.

This time it had to be like this, aunt.

All right, then.

What about your school? What are you doing here in the middle of the year?

Come on, aunt.

You're making me feel bad for just showing up.

They gave us a week-long holiday.

So I decided to come. Did I do wrong?

No. You did well, it's just that...

I don't know, it's not like you.

Even if you had wanted it, your crazy aunt wouldn't allow it.

Please, aunt.

When has my Aunt Besime ever objected to me coming here?

Also, she sent me with her son every summer. You're unfair about her.

You don't allow anything to be said against your aunt.

Whatever I am to you.

You are my precious aunt.

So is she.

There's something suspicious about your visit. We'll see.

Come on, Mum. You started grumbling as soon as she arrived.

Come, Lovebird. Let's go get your clothes hung up.

Let's leave my mother to ponder over her suspicions.

If only you knew how much I've missed you, Feride.

I always wished there was some holiday or something,

so that crazy girl could come.

You should have wished something else.

I'm happy with my choice but you don't seem the same.

Something has happened to you, Lovebird.

No.

Just tired from the trip.

I have no trouble. Thank heaven.

- Look at me. What happened? - Nothing important.

Feride!

I just realized that I overestimated some people.

It is just the disappointment.

Who, for example?

I've forgotten about them.

Now those people are like finished stories,

and I truly have no intention of rereading them.

So, how's Nermin doing?

At my grandfather's house.

She'd come straight away if she knew you were here.

She should come. I missed my little friend.

Let her die!

Let her die!

Let her die so she can liberate herself and us!

He grew fond of you,

and the way things turned out,

he's really sad, the poor soul.

He wants to start a family with you.

Good evening.

I ran home from the mansion.

I made some dinner for Neriman Hanım,

and I thought I should take some to Selim Bey since I'm going that way.

Enjoy it.

Is it potato?

I don't like it at all.

So what did you do? Did you get a chance to speak with Necmiye?

Yes. I did.

I did, but I don't know what she will do now.

Her family wrote her off.

What happened?

She made up a story about being pregnant,

but they would not change their mind.

I have full confidence in Necmiye.

She will do everything to find a way.

What if she can't?

She will.

Just as I've done everything to ensure I don't lose Feride to Kamran,

she'll do everything she can to own me.

So you're saying she loves you that much?

This is not love.

It's an obsession.

Desire to possess a thing you've chosen

by yourself for the first time in your life.

Is that how you feel about Lovebird, then?

Are you asking me if I'm in love with her?

Yes.

I love her.

But I know that she will never be the kind of lover that I would have.

I can possess her.

But her heart and her soul, never!

I know.

So why are you trying, then?

That's between Kamran and me.

Sir!

Welcome, sir.

Thank you, Cumali.

Has Kamran arrived?

Kamran Bey has gone to Tekirdağ.

He went after Lovebird.

It's strange.

Has he taken her from school?

What are they doing in Tekirdağ in the middle of the year?

They gave a break at school.

Feride Hanım decided to go there.

Kamran Bey caught up at the last minute.

Since the poor child has no place to go...

Anyway...

Have a good evening, Cumali.

Good evening to you, sir.

Uncle. Welcome.

Thank you, my girl. Welcome to you, too.

Welcome, Dad.

You're really hungry.

It must be the sea trip.

It made me hungry.

Didn't you have any food with you?

I didn't.

I wasn't prepared since I came directly from school.

Enjoy your meal.

So?

What news do you have from Istanbul and the mansion?

I'd heard they got your cousin engaged.

How come she found a husband?

That's right. She got engaged.

Who is the groom? What is his occupation?

His name is Selim.

A friend and co-worker of Kamran.

Why didn't they let us know when they got a daughter engaged?

As if you would go if you were invited, Mum.

Why would I go?

I broke a very old promise once and went to my sister's funeral,

and I'll never go there again.

You were this tall.

You grew up.

You grew up, but God only knows how!

I grew up well, aunt. I'm doing well. Don't bother yourself.

Obviously.

You seem to have lost a lot of weight.

No, I'm the same weight.

Is she the same, Müjgan?

You lost weight, Feride. Your face does seem bony.

God knows that aunt of yours can't be feeding you.

She continues to spend all your money left over from your dad.

Aunt, please!

Is it a lie, my girl?

Be careful with them.

My sister Besime has a habit of chewing you up

and spitting you out once she is done with you.

Also, she is uppity about how she feeds an orphan in the house.

As if she was doing it out of kindness.

Something she does to look down her nose at us.

I'm just saying it for you, my girl.

Aunt, don't!

I beg you to drop this subject. My feelings are getting hurt.

I hope everyone enjoyed the meal.

Would you like me to make you a coffee, Uncle?

Coffee?

My uncle Seyfettin would ask for one after every meal.

When I was home he wouldn't go to his room until he had a coffee.

I do it well, you know.

Oh, my girl! I'd love one, but coffee is not good for me.

I'll take one of your coffees, Feride.

Right now, uncle. Just the same, right?

Make mine with less sugar.

Of course.

Leave it. You must be exhausted.

All right.

In that case, I'll go to my room with your permission.

Not too much.

Thank you, my child.

Kamran still hasn't come.

He won't come. He is in Tekirdağ.

What's he doing there?

Especially on a day like this.

He went to give emotional support to Feride.

Is Feride in Tekirdağ?

Obviously,

after she was kicked out of this house, the poor thing was left homeless.

And when the school went on holiday...

Look at that.

No one at the table now.

Didn't we have enough food to give her?

Didn't we have a simple bed to give her so she could stay in "her" home, Besime?

What happened to us?

How did we become like this?

All of it has happened because of

that precious daughter of yours.

We fell apart.

She can't come out of her room, right?

She doesn't have that courage.

Let her stay there anyway.

I don't even want to see her face.

God gave me that girl as a punishment.

What was that sound?

Necmiye!

My daughter!

Dad?

Are you sleeping, my lamb?

What are you hiding there?

Nothing!

Let me see it.

If Kamran's eyes sparkle as he is frowning,

he must have been looking at you.

We had an argument that day again, I think.

He called me "monkey" and Uncle Seyfettin gave him an earful.

Did you remove yourself from the picture because you were mad at Kamran?

No. It's because I no longer belong in that happy picture.

Sister Müjgan.

Aunt Besime kicked me out of the mansion.

What?

How can that be?

Well, in truth she didn't throw me out.

She did something worse.

She misunderstood me.

She wouldn't even give me a chance to defend myself.

She wouldn't let me speak. She refused to listen.

She seemed so intent on sending me off, as if she tried to break my heart.

But why?

Or was my mum right in what she said earlier?

Necmiye is the reason.

- Help! Help! - Hurry! Hurry!

Uncle Seyfettin!

She is not breathing.

What happened to Necmiye? What happened, Uncle Seyfettin?

She slashed her wrists.

When? How long ago? How long has she been this way?

- Is she unconscious? For how long? - Just a while ago.

They haven't come.

Why haven't they got here yet?

- My lady! - Why haven't they got here, Gülmisal?

But, my lady, they just left!

- Just a while ago... - Why didn't I go?

Why didn't I go? Why didn't you let me?

Let me go!

I want to be by my child. I'm going to be with my girl.

- I'm going to kiss her wrists. - But my lady...

I'm leaving!

Why didn't you let me?

I'm going to give you milk, my darling Necmiye.

Necmiye, don't leave me! Necmiye, don't leave me, my child!

Let go! Let go!

I'm going to Necmiye.

My Necmiye, my baby. I'll kiss you. I'll hold you.

Necmiye, I'll do whatever you want. Don't leave me!

My lady, look, it's also raining in the middle of the night. Let's go back.

I have no strength in my legs!

All right. All right. Lean on me.

I've got you.

Darling, I'm so sorry.

Necmiye, idiot. How can she do something like that?

She really loves Selim Bey.

Yeah, right! You can do without that kind of love.

Cold-blooded!

Well, what does Kamran say about this? You told him about all this, right?

I told him, but I couldn't get him to believe.

Come on! Kamran is a rational person.

He is going to believe you wouldn't do such a thing.

I used to think just like you.

But I came to see that I was terribly mistaken.

That's what really breaks my heart.

We disagree, argue and always fight, but we know each other's heart.

Kamran really cares about me.

I know that he cares about me as he would a little orphan girl.

What about you?

About me what?

What kind of feelings do you hold for Kamran?

Do you love him?

I didn't mean it that way.

I didn't ask it in that way.

Shame on you, sister Müjgan!

What did I say to upset you, Feride?

There is no smoke without...

All right, sister, all right.

No matter what I say, you won't understand it. Let's drop this.

Luckily, I am here. We are just catching up.

All right. All right.

You like being here, right?

Do tell, Lovebird. What do you like most about Tekirdağ?

Sister Müjgan.

No. You like the trips back and forth with Kamran most.

No.

Just give a second thought to that.

You're crazy!

Üftade, let's give the patient a painkiller. She stays here tonight.

All right, Selim Bey.

And I'll go inform your father.

He was really worried about you.

Get well soon.

How is she?

She is fine.

We're preparing some medicine.

She needs some rest. She can go home in the morning.

God bless you.

I'll wait here. You accompany those at the mansion.

As you wish, sir. I hope she gets well soon.

Let her rest.

Do you still want my daughter?

If you think I'm suited for her.

Then put on the rings.

And have a wedding before the weekend.

Dad!

That title "father" has burdened me.

After three kids I can't play father to anyone else. I'm sorry.

You are right.

But you're still my father.

I have made serious mistakes towards you. Very big mistakes.

But I do love your daughter, father Seyfettin.

I will do everything I can to make her happy. I promise.

Trying to poison a helpless orphan isn't exactly a mistake.

Or turning two sisters against one another.

You burned and ruined my household.

I hope yours is a happy one.

It involves my daughter. So I have no choice.

What about Kamran? He will violently protest this.

He would never allow our marriage. He threatened me.

Kamran is my concern.

You do as I say and that'll be enough.

No!

I've awakened you accidentally.

No, no. Come in.

Don't tire yourself, crazy thing.

Where is my father?

In the garden.

You are very brave.

Thank you.

I knew you would do anything not to part from me,

but not this much.

I felt elated when Münevver brought news from you.

I couldn't lose you once I found you.

I couldn't let you slip through my fingers.

What did Münevver say to you?

That you were no longer indifferent about me.

That you didn't want to leave me.

You have such an expression right now

that I'm starting to doubt Münevver's words.

Selim?

Münevver didn't tell me something that wasn't true, right?

You are no longer indifferent about me

and you can feel me, right?

Of course.

Why would I send you a message if that weren't the case, right?

Well, what do you think?

Necmiye, I've never felt this way.

How do you feel?

I feel loved.

Now you get some rest.

Lovebird is not here. Hunters shot her.

Here. These are her clothes.

What are those there?

A lot of tools and equipment.

I even mix up the names of most of them.

I was asking if they had anything to do with my daughter.

No.

We're done with Necmiye. She is fine.

She should rest until the morning. I prescribed her a drug.

We'll take out the stitches next week.

Come in and have a seat, father Seyfettin.

No.

I'll wait out in the hall.

Lovebird. What are you doing?

I am preparing the leftovers for the stray cats.

Your cats must be very sophisticated. Look, they're able to use utensils.

Just by force of habit.

Is the linden tea for the cats, too?

No.

That's for me.

Because of the cold weather.

Yes.

It's really cold.

Good. I'll go to sleep, then.

Müjgan?

Kamran!

Sister Müjgan!

Are you trying to kill me?

What are you doing here at this hour like a thief?

Why don't you come in like a gentleman?

I won't come in until Feride says so.

Feride?

In that case, as the homeowner I'm telling you. Come in.

Not until Feride invites me.

What happened?

Besime Hanım?

How is Necmiye?

Fine. Very well, in fact. They'll release her in the morning.

God bless you. Thank heaven.

Come.

Take me to the hospital.

Seyfettin Bey instructed me to stay home, my lady.

He doesn't want anyone at the hospital.

Cumali Effendi, I told you to take me to Necmiye!

- The horses are also tired. - My lady.

Don't you know Seyfettin Bey's way?

If you go to the hospital now, he'll cause a lot of problems.

You'll be sorry.

My Necmiye is going to be even sadder in the hospital bed.

Let's go home.

I hope your heart doesn't burn as mine, Cumali Effendi.

You are doing what "sir" desires now.

But if one day your heart burns, I'll come running to help.

But still may God bless you.

You've given me good news.

Come, come, my lady.

Why don't you marry your adopted son with Feride?

Her school will finish this year.

Isn't she going to get married to Kamran?

That's the desire of her mother and father.

My sister is smart.

She thinks no one else should get the girl.

It's enough she enjoyed my father's house this long.

Let us enjoy it for a bit.

Just sit quietly in your house. Don't get me involved in these family matters.

What am I doing by getting you involved?

I find your adopted son a potential bride. Is that bad?

Sure, whatever!

Listen to me.

Let's invite Isa to dinner tonight. Let them get to know each other.

All right, I'll invite him. He'll come if he is free.

Mum! Look, Kamran has arrived.

Müjgan!

Don't yell!

Welcome, Kamran!

You're going to wake everyone up.

Sister Müjgan!

I do it as a fait accompli, which is good.

What's that all about standing outside like a thief?

- Kamran! - Welcome, my boy!

Aunt.

Uncle.

Welcome. Welcome.

I thank the Lord for sparing you.

Welcome, the sparkle of my eye.

Welcome, my heartache.

Welcome.

Mother.

You're welcome.

My lamb has returned.

My beautiful girl, come.

Come, my beautiful girl.

Should I fill another cup?

Kamran, how you get here?

There is no boat at this hour.

I was already here, Uncle.

I have a friend here and I was staying with him. I came from there.

Who is this friend? Isn't she Suzie Hanım?

Suzie?

Who is Suzie, Aunt? I don't know her.

But she knows you well. I hear all about you.

About you and Neriman Hanım.

- Uncle? - Yes, darling?

May I leave with you today?

Of course.

He is busy, Feride. Where are you going?

I'm going to stop by Grandpa's.

I heard Nermin is there. Let's bring her.

Well, let's go, then.

Aziz Bey, don't be late. We have a guest tonight.

- Okay. Let's go. - Feride. Don't be too late either.

- Bye-bye. - Take care.

See you.

Let's put this back here.

How is that? Are you comfy?

It's good.

Mum.

I'm sorry.

Me, too.

I told you I would take my own life,

but you didn't believe me.

Actually, you are right.

Who would believe me after all those lies and accusations?

Why did you do it, Necmiye?

Just because I didn't believe you?

To punish me?

Stop, stop.

Because I can't live without Selim.

Mum?

My brother is most certainly going to protest.

Please stand by me, all right?

Stand by Selim and me.

Don't let go of my hand, please.

For once in your life defend me against my brother.

Protect me,

please.

Where will you provide a residence for my daughter?

My bachelor home is not very appropriate.

I'll get a new place before the wedding.

I'll get it decorated as Necmiye desires.

When should we have the wedding, by the way?

Let's get the official ceremony done first.

Of course. As you wish.

Dad?

What does Kamran say about this?

I haven't seen him since yesterday.

He doesn't know.

He went on a trip with Feride to Tekirdağ.

I heard your sister is getting married.

That's right, hopefully.

Congratulations.

So is the groom a doctor? A friend for yours?

We work together at the same hospital.

You found a good suitor for your sister.

It's Feride's turn now.

Feride is still a student.

No big deal, child. She can get engaged and marry after her school.

Of course, if she meets a suitable person.

She is obviously a bit crazy.

It's challenging to find a husband for her.

We'll just have to accept what we can get.

Feride doesn't have a problem like finding a husband, Aunt.

She only cares about academic achievement and nothing else.

Don't worry.

These days, young people, you think science can feed you.

Luckily you have us to guide and teach you about these things.

Let your mother deal with your sister. I'll deal with Feride.

There is a young and handsome officer... Your uncle's adopted son.

Just Feride's type.

I invited him for dinner.

That was an unnecessary invitation, Aunt.

Please don't put pointless ideas in her mind.

I'm disappointed.

Anyway, I'll take a walk.

What's wrong with him?

I'll join Kamran, Mum.

Look, this stone will skip well.

Take this.

Let your hand stay loose.

Throw now!

I didn't really like this game, Lovebird. Let's play tag.

All right.

You're it.

You're it.

You're it.

Come here, Lovebird. I don't want to go there. Please.

Did you lose your way, young lady?

Nonsense!

I know these places like the back of my hand.

Is that so?

I know them as well.

Yet we've never crossed each other.

Fate.

Have a nice day.

I hope we could happen to cross each other again tomorrow.

I doubt it.

I don't like coincidences at all.

All right. In that case, let's not happen to run into each other.

Let's set a date.

You'd be wasting your time.

In fact, nothing would enrich my time as much as waiting for you.

I do hope you will come.

I don't recommend it.

A friend of a friend almost froze last night because of the same hope.

He waited all night for the girl. In cold weather.

In front of her house. Till morning.

Your friend must be a lucky lady.

How do you know she is lucky?

Because she reached her love in the end.

Could there be better luck?

You don't seem to know a thing!

They are not talking. They had an argument.

It's impossible for anything to happen between them. Very difficult.

I don't know about challenges and barriers.

But they seem to be united through their hearts.

The only thing left for them to do is to confess and to assume it.

Anyway. Who cares!

At the least you could grant me your name.

Feride!

Feride!

I think they're calling you.

Feride!

No.

Feride!

Feride is our little one.

A naughty little girl!

That's Feride, not me.

And what about you? Don't you have a name?

Me?

My name is Marika.

Nice to meet you, Marika.

Feride!

Feride!

Feride!

Feride!

You're funny, Feride. Why are you calling out your name?

A new game?

Yes. A new game.

The name of the game: "I have lost myself."

So, teach me so we can play.

You play a bit by yourself. Feride and I have to talk.

He is sad, all broken up. Please talk each other and make peace.

I don't want to!

Otherwise he's just going to grab you up

and take you, which is quite disgraceful.

He is completely crazy. Come on, please, avoid an incident.

All right then.

My shoelace is untied. I'll come as soon as I lace it up.

Good, all right.

Don't play with it.

It'll get all tangled. You can't untie a knot.

It's untied. Should I not lace it up?

Come, I'll do it.

Feride?

Feride.

My shoelaces.

Don't rush it. Slowly.

Step by step.

Very well, madam.

Very well.

You can go now.

What did you do?

Kamran!

How are you, gorgeous?

Welcome.

Take these.

For me?

I promise I'll have one tailored for you.

These are Feride's clothes.

We are setting up a home. It's better if they're not seen.

Can you hide them for me?

Sure.

Is Neriman Hanım out?

She is in.

Darling, it costs saying hello to you.

And then you think you can just

breeze into my house anytime you desire.

Levent Bey was like this also.

I appreciate your elegant hospitality.

I just wanted to stop by.

Plus, I have news that you'll be interested in.

Let's hear it.

Kamran went to Tekirdağ.

For what?

You know he has an aunt there.

As far as I know, she is on the outs with Besime.

He just went there for a rest, alone.

For you this must be a big opportunity, Neriman Hanım.

I could find a seat on the boat for tomorrow morning.

You did me a favor yesterday. This is me repaying my debt.

I don't like being indebted to anyone.

Please consider my kindness as a sign of my gratitude.

Ugly mug.

Untie this! I told you to untie it!

I told you not to play with or you'd get it tangled.

Oh, that's real cute!

Unpleasant!

The things we have experienced recently were truly unpleasant, Feride.

Just as I listened to you, you have to listen to me.

There's nothing to listen to.

I've been there with you for every second of it.

It's pointless to talk and hurt each other any further.

Believe me, Kamran. You have nothing to tell me either.

You came here for nothing.

You're right, Feride.

Let's not say the same things and hurt each other.

I came here to give you something.

I have something that belongs to you.

What's that?

My heart.

All right. Give it, then.

In any case, you can manage by replacing it with a potato.

Thanks to you, it has already turned into a potato.

Here. You can peel it into this.

Muddle-headed!

What happened, Feride?

We were just playing with friends.

Feride, you really need to straighten up.

You're a young lady.

Go into the bathroom, get cleaned up and put on your best dress.

I want you to look very beautiful tonight.

All right.

Tomorrow will be the official wedding ceremony.

Prepare accordingly.

All right, we'll do it tonight.

I'll send Cumali Effendi to do the shopping.

Aren't we going to have a big party?

I want to decide that after Kamran's return.

Right, what's he going to say? Will he be persuaded?

He won't be.

I can't say I am either.

Are you, Besime Hanım?

We have to come to terms with it.

He will as well.

That's what truly concerns me.

You think he really will?

No.

But there is no other choice.

I'm so angry. So furious.

How will we hold back and control Kamran?

I hope it all turns out well, Besime Hanım.

I am holding off on a big celebration because of Kamran.

Maybe he will calm down when he sees his sister wearing a wedding dress.

Otherwise, I can't imagine what'll happen when he arrives.

His "heart", he says.

You have no heart. What purpose would it serve?

Muddle-headed! Nasty rat!

My lamb!

What was that between you two on the beach?

I nearly fell over when I saw you like that.

You're too funny, Feride.

Yes I am, sister Müjgan. I am hysterical right now.

Look at me. What happened?

What did he say to you to make you this sad?

That's Kamran.

He's always playing tricks on my mind, saying nice things.

I believe that he's talking to me.

And right afterwards it turns out to be something else behind it.

Like what he used to say to his lover Neriman,

or he was just joking, or whatever.

I'm glad I treated him like that.

This time, I didn't take it seriously.

That's why I left my shoe. So he'd just talk to it!

Muddle-headed. Liar.

Oh, no, what have you done, Feride?

What did I do? I did well.

I don't know about the previous times, but this time he was talking to you, Feride.

That Kamran is totally the boy who cried wolf in your eyes.

If he went mad and ran away to the desert, you still wouldn't believe he loves you.

See, he has fooled you as well.

You know about rats who blow on people's noses to numb them before chewing it?

Kamran is just like that. He blows on you to numb you.

Especially women. But he won't fool me.

What's up? Are you going somewhere?

We have a guest tonight and my aunt told me to introduce myself properly.

In that case,

there is no need. You're beautiful in every way.

It seems that the air in Tekirdağ is not good for your vision.

- Can you give me my dress? - No, I won't!

- Kamran, give it to me! - No, let go!

Give it!

Happy with what you did?

I am. Actually I love it.

Feride, please let's go to Istanbul. I'm really tired of this place.

I'm not going.

I'm going to spend the break here. But I'd be happy if you left.

I can't go.

I can't go anywhere without you.

And I wouldn't go from here to there with you.

You don't trust me that much?

I don't!

You don't trust me either. Everything is reciprocal.

- Everything? - Everything!

Muddle-headed!

You're so beautiful.

Look how pretty you are when you get cleaned up. Like a lady.

They're here.

Where are you going?

To welcome the guest.

That's the host's concern.

Stop pretending like this is your home.

I couldn't do it if I wanted to, because I don't feel that way.

There you go!

We are guests here. Let's behave as such.

Also we shouldn't waste our time at dinner.

We eat and go to the garden. Or you should sleep.

You sleep if you're so eager about it. I'm staying up.

Welcome, my son.

Oh, mother Ayşe, It smells delicious.

You should see what yummy things I have prepared for you. Come in. Come in.

Come on, son.

This way. Welcome, welcome, welcome.

Good evening.

My name is Isa.

Let me introduce my niece. Feride.

Is that so?

I also have an acquaintance named Feride.

Are you sure it's not ours?

No way, come on!

Have you two met before?

No.

My Feride is a naughty little girl!

Pleasure to meet you.

I'm also...

I'm Kamran.

Suzie Hanım will be at the vineyard. She'll host you.

If I throw a small party, this job will almost be done.

Don't wear that. Kamran hates it.

She is a good friend with their aunt.

That woman Ayşe gets all the gossip about here from Suzie Hanım.

She must know about me, then.

It's possible.

Don't worry about anything.

Get off the boat. Get to Suzie Hanım's vineyard. The rest is easy.

All I need is to run into Kamran. Away from here, his family and problems.

Where are my high-heeled shoes?

Downstairs. I'll bring them.

Lovebird's clothing.

Selim Bey brought it over today.

He asked me to hang on to them.

What's he doing with them?

I don't know why she took them off, next to him.

Isa did you know that Feride studies at the French school?

French is a wonderful language.

Yes.

It's like poetry.

I can talk to you till morning. It can help me to better know

the mermaid Marika.

So, a mermaid.

Who's this Marika, Feride?

It's a secret between me and mademoiselle Feride.

No more secrets, my brother!

Let's speak in our own language and not be rude to those at the table.

You're right. It's a language I love and I miss.

I hope we haven't offended you.

No way. You speak quite eloquently. It sounds like a poem to the ear.

So, brother Isa, if you're so close with my uncle, why haven't we met before?

Isa has been with us since he was 13.

He used to accompany my parents in their home.

I was just there this morning to pick up Nermin.

We're talking about something, Feride.

Pardon me.

As you see, Kamran Bey, wherever Grandpa Ahmet goes, I go.

And I have spent the last five years in Beirut.

In Beirut?

Do you know Beirut?

Apparently you don't have pleasant memories from there.

If I could only remember.

I'm sure they're my nicest memories.

It's been a tiresome day for me.

We haven't even served dessert yet, my girl.

You all enjoy it, Aunt.

Pleasure meeting you, Isa Bey. Good night.

Good night.

Neither her brother nor Feride is next to her.

We've got a wedding tomorrow and we've got nobody.

What kind of a wedding is that, sisters?

Would you like Feride to come and be next to your daughter?

She's unpredictable.

She went to stay with my sister Ayşe.

We gave her the perfect opportunity.

God knows what she'll say to mess with Feride's mind.

Honestly, Feride has never been the one to be influenced

badly by the word of others, and she won't.

Stop thinking about these things.

Look, you marry off your daughter tomorrow.

You've got a lot on your plate at the moment.

Besides, Kamran Bey is with her.

Well, well.

What would you think of a double wedding, Besime Hanım?

If only.

Nobody is buying it, little lady.

If I acted better.

Maybe kids might.

You want me to tell you something to make you feel better?

Please.

Kamran is insanely jealous of you, Feride.

He is always jealous.

That's just him. Nothing to do with me.

"I should possess everything." "The world should revolve around me."

And he goes crazy when something unbalances him.

Isa Bey came. He went wild because he couldn't join in on one conversation.

You're very naïve, Feride.

Kamran was jealous of Isa because of you.

I hope he feels worse.

I don't even care.

But he wants me to make peace between you.

Sister Müjgan. Don't do it.

I urge you not to do something like that.

I'm totally fine like this. At least my mind is.

Well, I said all right before I even asked you.

You dodged me at the beach earlier as well. No way!

You'll handle this matter in the morning.

Look, if I say you two are going to talk, then you will.

All right? That's it.

Sleep well, then.

I don't even want to see your face.

Get out!

Out!

Dilber, bring the extra slippers from the storeroom.

- You can give them to the witnesses. - All right.

Where is Necmiye?

Gülmisal is helping her to perform her ablutions.

Oh, good, good.

Prepare the bathroom near the reception area for the hodja Effendi.

Actually, I'll tell Seyfettin Bey.

May Allah protect us from accidents and troubles.

May Allah not keep us from the sound of azan during our prayers.

May Allah not keep us from the sound of azan during our prayers.

Protect us from the suffering of hell.

Come out, come out, wherever you are!

I'm going to find you.

I was just playing hide and go seek with Nermin.

Nermin is back in the yard right now.

Really?

Wow! I can't believe that girl. Did she run all the way back there?

Let me go and tag her and I'll be back.

It's going to be tough for you, Kamran.

When she behaves like this, I can't be sure.

Are you sure she wants me?

Whether she'll want you or not, I can't know. Yet I know she loves you.

That's certain.

All right. But what if you're wrong?

Then she will make such fun of me.

I don't even want to think about that.

What'll happen, Kamran? What will you lose?

But you lose each other when you two are scared.

You're right.

She is so rebellious. So stubborn.

Look at me. Are you scared?

Nonsense.

Well, then, show us your bravery.

I specifically wanted you to see our shoreline, my lamb.

My house is right there. I'm going to fix a delightful breakfast for you.

Thank you, Suzie Hanım.

Ayşe Hanım's house is that way.

The aunt of Kamran.

Is that so?

I would like to meet her sometime.

Come. Let me introduce you, if you want.

We'll have our coffee and go from there.

I wouldn't cause any trouble by coming out of the blue?

No problem at all. Come, let's go.

The hodja is coming.

I'll welcome him. You make your preparations.

Selim, the son of Fettar, already has a contract

to marry Feride, the daughter of Nizamettin.

Do the family and the bride consent to the current status of the groom?

Sister Feride. I'm scared.

Feride. Nermin is not used to swinging while standing up. She could fall.

Sister Feride. I'm afraid of falling. Please, let me down.

It's all right. See, we're swinging slowly.

I want to get off. Please, let me off.

Nermin, there's nothing wrong.

Please, let me down. I'm afraid, sister Feride.

All right. Get down then.

Go! Swing slowly in your sister's crib.

And don't talk to me again. Go on.

Come, my dear, come.

Did you get really scared?

Mess with someone your own size instead of frightening a little kid on a swing.

Are you my size?

What is it? Were you frightened?

What am I supposed to be frightened of? Not at all.

Müjgan said something really nice today.

Something that I wanted all my life.

That you love me.

Now your purpose is clear.

Halt the swing. I'm getting off.

Feride, I won't halt it until I hear the truth from you.

All right, I'll tell you then.

I don't love you, Kamran! Satisfied? I said stop it!

I don't believe you.

That's your issue.

Feride?

I love you.

And that's my issue.

Feride, why are you making it so hard?

Why can't you accept that?

Kamran, there's not a thing to accept.

Look, we're going to fall. Stop the swing.

Kamran! Look, these ropes won't hold us.

I'm telling you, we'll fall.

Not without you telling me you love me.

I love you!

I do not love you.

I love you.

I do not love you.

Feride!

I love you.

Me, too.
