Aslı.
-Aslı. -Hmm?
Mmm. Mmm, actually, she was my first.
I thought she was incredibly cute, you know?
Man, the only thing with her was her pronunciation.
She would say, "buthy beaver."
"Thelebrating."
She was so cute. Where is she now?
I was younger than her, so she's probably buried now.
How old was she, huh?
I never found out, man, but that girl was really nice.
This needs to be lit up.
Dude, come on, tell me the truth. Don't you think
this shitty bachelor's party could've been way better?
I wish we'd gone to Leyla's instead.
"I wish we went to Leyla's instead."
Look, he passed out. He drank too much.
Say something to Murat.
Bro, why are you using your phone?
I was making sure my son was fine.
He said they were off-limits for tonight. What the heck, man?
Ah, your wives got you all spooked.
-Here you go. -Mmm.
Our phones are turned off.
-And we can't leave the house. -Take it.
I wonder where the guest of honor went.
-Ömer? -Where'd you go?
-Ömer? -Why are you always shouting?
-Don't leave us. -All right, relax.
Tell me something.
Who was the guest of honor's first conquest?
-Uh, Dilek. Scrawny Dilek. -Dilek. Scrawny Dilek!
Yeah, you're right. She was definitely it.
Scrawny Dilek. Buried Aslı.
Better check on Ömer.
-Mmm. -Ömer!
Ömerito?
Ömerito, where'd you go?
How is it?
Get closer.
Here, take a look.
Mmm.
You guys haven't said anything.
So what-- what's wrong with the dress? Is it okay?
-Say something. -It must have been beautiful at the time.
Love, it smells like it's covered in mold. Let's check.
Oh, my God! It smells so old.
-Sorry. -Oh, thank goodness.
Sweetie, we just saw that that's not the one.
You know? It's better to put it aside than to use it.
Yeah, but my nana's wedding dress is supposed to be for good luck.
Now what am I gonna do?
I can replicate it without a problem. Would you like that?
Well…
Leyla, love…
Oh, come on! Not you too, Beliz.
It was published.
Huh?
"Han Tumar" comes from Cem Murathan.
"Murathan" was masterfully rearranged to make "Han Tumar."
The judge told us they were distinct. We couldn't refute it.
"Narcissists are usually self-obsessed individuals
with serious mother issues."
"Han Tumar's greatest distress was his mother."
Have you ever spoken with Cem's mother before?
Not really. I don't know her very well.
"Tuna practically found herself drawn to the man's breathtaking body
before she could stop herself."
"Their desire for each other grew gradually."
"Han had lit a fire, engulfing her body
like a cascade flowing from her groin."
"He made love to his captive, never giving her a chance to breathe."
"Han was like a roaring waterfall,
and Tuna had entirely submerged her naked body into that water."
Is this real?
Are you mine?
-Leyla? -Leyla!
Leyla?
Okay. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Sweetheart, are you all right?
Hmm?
How about you marry me… today?
Something feels off.
Lately, so many things have gone wrong. It's all really weird.
Don't get paranoid, Leyla. Everything's going to be just fine.
But it won't, because I can't wear Grandma's wedding dress.
They'll be making you a new one.
Also, my car is totaled.
But you'll have my new car.
You're going to Dubai, and you won't return until the wedding ceremony.
Darling, we'll be together on our trip. Huh?
Just us.
Hmm?
I should delay it.
If you don't leave soon, you'll be late.
Why is he calling you?
Probably to ask about our menu.
-Mmm. -Hmm.
Just change that ringtone.
Okay, I will, love.
Hurry! You need to go now.
It's getting late.
Ömer!
See you soon.
You got it, princess.
As the wedding approaches, I become more anxious.
Did this happen to you too?
Leyla, dear, you're not feeling anxious.
You're just excited.
No, that's something else.
This feels like it's anxiousness.
I'm not sure what's wrong. I'm fine when I'm with Ömer.
When I'm by myself, all these different things cross my mind.
It feels like something is missing,
but I just-- I don't know what it could be.
-Those jitters are normal. -I know.
I'm all knotted up for tying the knot.
I mean, jokes aside,
I have yet to feel like a fiancée who gets all giddy,
because we split for almost two years!
By being apart for that long, I--
Started to have your own doubts?
Oi.
-What's up, Şeyyaz? -Leyla, why didn't you answer your phone?
I just did. What is it?
Were you planning on going to the golf tournament?
Uh, no. I'll be moving out.
If you can, try to make it.
There's something I need to discuss with you.
Oh, wow. What is this about?
It seems like it's serious. Just tell me.
Defne, she's…
pregnant.
What?
That seems like it's terrific news. Congratulations!
Uh, why do you sound disappointed?
I swear, if you avoid responsibility, you'll be sorry.
I only found out because I overheard her.
She was telling Cem about it, but I'm not sure if the kid is even mine.
Well, how can that be possible? You've been with her for months now.
No way!
What other reason is there for Cem's mom to rush over here?
-Okay. -We should hurry to get a good spot.
What a surprise.
My uncle insisted.
His name is Can Taylan. Yeah.
Mrs. Murathan, this is Leyla. She's a friend of ours.
Mmm, hello. I'm glad I could meet you, Leyla.
Thank you. Glad I could meet you too.
I was also introduced to your uncle.
-What happened? Are you all right? -Oh, yeah.
It's-- It's just a little scratch.
The car in front of me suddenly hit the brakes.
Minor fender-bender.
-Hmm. -Sorry to hear that.
-Get well soon. -Thank you. I will.
My wedding will be in three weeks,
and that has kept us busy, so…
-I heard Ömer is in Dubai. -That's right.
He's working on a new project. He's my fiancé.
-Should we go sit down? -Okay, my dear.
-I'll see you later. -See you later, ma'am. Thank you.
She's really nice, right?
Have you been okay lately? Has everything been fine?
Yes, of course. Doing great.
I swear.
That's good.
On that night, of the hotel's grand opening,
everyone's lives changed.
Whose lives?
Yours, Cem's, and mine.
I wonder what other surprises we'll get in the future.
I hope you get well soon.
Thank you, Defne.
Why would she say our lives changed on the night of the hotel's grand opening?
-Cem could've slept with her that night. -There's no way.
What makes you say that?
Well, don't you think the kid would've been born by now?
I don't think Cem would go that far.
He may be a narcissist but he respects those close to him.
If that's the case…
then I don't get why would she choose to tell Cem
about her pregnancy before telling Şeyyaz?
Also, why are Cem and his mother so excited
if the kid isn't even his?
They were married for three years.
Both were about to graduate.
Defne was in her third trimester.
We would see her son soon.
Cem worked around the clock to finish his graduation thesis.
Afterward, they wanted… a break to de-stress.
So they made vacation plans.
Selim also went, and drove the car.
He's the youngest.
Defne and I tragically both lost sons that day.
Cem…
he mourned his brother and also his son.
He lost it all.
It was impossible for them to recover.
Being around each other always brought back the pain.
So I mustered the courage to leave him.
I ended it.
After all that, we were never apart,
because we are a family.
I understand, trust me. Now, I get it.
Cem has only kept this to himself.
His ex-wives also did not find out.
Sadly, no one stayed around much to hear about it.
Can Şeyyaz be someone you could commit to?
Feyyaz, sorry.
Everything's great.
I'm just not sure what could come up.
We may be done, or go on.
This baby will be mine, Leyla.
Getting a second chance was my dream.
That's why I first… told my family the lovely news.
I had to tell Cem and his mom.
He means the world to me and more, Leyla.
He's the most honest and kind-hearted man
I have ever met.
He's my best friend.
And will forever be my son's dad.
I have loved him the most.
And will always love him.
What is the rush?
What's this about?
You're getting married in just three weeks.
So, what's the rush? Tell me.
Well, it has already been nine years
since we've started going out.
All your marriages didn't last nearly as long.
No, they didn't.
The ceremony will be at Uncle Can's lake house.
We have it scheduled for the 9th.
Please come.
I'm sorry, but I can't attend.
No?
Mmm.
I won't see you in a wedding gown.
I'm going to London soon.
I'll be gone for a long time.
Okay.
Goodbye…
Leyla.
We still have to answer the main question.
If he's really the guy Defne describes--
…then on that morning--
Gimme a sec, Ömer's calling.
All right, my love. We'll be there in just a few hours.
Yes, Mom. Catch you later, bye-bye.
-Hello. Did you get back already? -I have.
But, babe, I can't pick up your parents. I'm exhausted.
I still have to get ready so I'm going home.
Yeah, no problem. I'll send someone to pick them up.
Cem Murathan sent this.
Cem sent you something?
Looks like it's a wedding gift.
Uh, I'll meet you at the restaurant soon but I gotta run now, babe.
Okay, but send a picture of it.
All right, I will. Bye, my love.
What would he send?
What's this?
Um…
-Oh! Kintsugi! -What does that mean?
Well, it says it means that imperfections are beautiful.
He's obviously sorry. But why?
Did he leave a message as well?
His driver dropped it off. He said Mr. Cem wanted to gift it to you before he left.
-Aw, how cute! -I wonder if he's downstairs.
Is he still here?
I think he's still down there. Sorry!
What's the rush?
"Kintsugi is an ancient Japanese philosophy
that seeks to elevate the beauty and functionality of a broken object."
"According to this philosophy, a break is not a loss,
but a new form of existence."
"Certain events in human life can leave deep scars,
that may be deemed impossible to repair."
"However, overcoming them,
and fixing the damage with more valuable and stronger bonds,
is also part of life."
Wait! Wait a minute! Please, give me a minute!
"Rather than discarding the broken parts of an object,
they're intentionally accentuated
to make them a part of its history."
"This is a struggle against fragmentation."
"It doesn't embrace nothingness."
"Instead, it highlights the progress from when it was first broken."
"Vulnerability is neither denied nor suppressed,
and no aspect of life is considered a flaw."
"It is so valuable, despite not reaching greatness."
It's wise.
Uh, it is.
As far as I understand,
you have two guys who are currently damaged.
One is completely closed off.
The other one… opens up,
and has nine years of history.
-They're here. -Please, come in.
Oh, hello!
-Ah! -Hello.
-Hey! How are you?
-I'm good. How've you been? -It's been a while, hasn't it?
You're on my mind daily.
You mean so much to me, Ömer.
I trust you've been well?
-It's good to see you. -Yes, thank you.
-How are you? It's nice to see you. -Hey.
Oh, hello, sweetheart. How are you?
-I'm great. How's everything? -It's been fine, thanks.
-How's it going? -I'm doing great.
That's good.
-Love, what's this? -The place is lovely.
-Is this his gift? -Mm-hmm.
Uh, I think this broke.
Getting something cracked. It's a bit strange, don't you think?
-I feel like a VIP. -How've you been?
-I've been fine. -There wasn't a wait.
It's nice to have the place to ourselves.
Delicious! Mmm.
Everything has turned out really great.
Please let the chef know the meal was lovely.
It's been ages since I've enjoyed something this much. He's highly skilled.
Of course. Enjoy. I'll be sure to tell him.
Wait. You know what? Tell him that we said the courses were average.
Come on, Ömer. That's not nice.
So immature. Are you four years old or something?
Why don't we go to the courthouse after and just be done with it? Hmm?
Hey, you've already started.
As soon as she saw the ring, your matrimony began.
Now, you will hear, "Enjoy it while it lasts!"
-It was all in good fun. -Hang on a second.
I think getting married is like going on a really long journey
that's expected to last a whole year.
It's natural to bring along a considerable amount of luggage.
But eventually, all your bags end up getting open,
and you start to go through everything. It's hard work.
Rainstorms can appear in the summer as well.
-You know? -That's right.
Oh, let's not. You could scare them if you say that.
I'm not… bringing my bags with me this time.
I prefer our hands to be… holding than hauling any luggage.
It would also be great not to have rainstorms.
We will have many clear days.
I hope we do.
I'll see you at our wedding.
Eh, that's only if I don't get cold feet.
-Ömer! -Ow!
All right. All right, better return earlier.
All right.
Take care, okay?
You know when you ride a rollercoaster,
and your heart starts to beat faster
as you slowly make your way up?
You look stunning.
You're in your seat, not knowing what to expect,
so you're filled with both excitement and fear.
Actually crying.
Don't you think these are beautiful?
And once you see you've reached the top,
you close your eyes and say, "All right, bring it on."
That's exactly how I feel.
And you, how do you feel?
We're getting married in two more days!
We'll party like crazy until the sun rises,
the day after tomorrow.
Ömer?
Hello?
You still there?
Uh, sorry, babe. I haven't slept in three days.
I feel like a zombie.
Okay, my love, okay.
I'll let you get some rest. Arrive early for your flight.
All right, all right. Go ahead.
Buddy!
How is he?
He's doing well. Just some minor bruising.
We gave him a mild sedative to take an X-ray image.
But he'll be running around soon, okay?
Thank you so much, Balım.
-Thank you very much. -No problem.
-Can I go in to see him? -Yes, of course.
Oh, Buddy, love!
Oh, love. My love.
Is my boy okay?
Is everything okay, love?
Oh.
No, I won't, Dad.
I'm not gonna tell Ömer about it.
Buddy's doing really well right now and feeling stronger.
Mm-hmm. Yeah, we're still at the vet.
That's right. I'm having the wedding dress sent to the lake house.
Sounds good, Dad. Yeah, it'll arrive tomorrow. All right.
Take care, Dad. I love you.
Yes. Bye-bye.
Congratulations.
How many more days?
It's in two days.
Then all the best.
I genuinely wish you a wonderful marriage.
I'm glad that the aching is gone now. It took time to forget him.
Everybody was caught in that storm.
It is understandable, since you both were intermittently together.
For two whole years, I glued his pieces back together.
Two years?
Mm-hmm.
I was his emotional crutch, regrettably.
Well, you would hurt him, and I'd heal him.
When the chef was with you, I was there.
After he saw Cem Murathan kissing you,
he gave me a call as he cried in pain.
Anything happen between you and Cem?
Ömer, you need to stop it. You're being crazy. Pfft.
Oh, what is this about? I thought this stuff was over.
He was always in love with you, in the end.
Plus, you're getting married despite everything.
This is great.
So great.
My gut knew he'd forgive you.
I knew he would.
-Hello? -Sweetheart.
I'm now… inside our house.
The groom is here!
Hold on. W-Wait a sec!
Leyla's on the phone.
-Wait, wait, wait! Careful, my neck! -Here we go!
-My neck! Wait, stop it! Stop it! -Won't stop it now!
-Stop it! -Three!
-Two! -Ahh!
One!
Ömer!
Have you forgiven Dad, Mom?
Can it be forgotten?
Is it possible to move on from his affair?
It's not.
Why do you stay with him, then?
So he wouldn't stay with her.
Defne outdid herself with all the arrangements,
but so has Şeyyaz in preparing the food.
Here, darling. And we had to cover the entertainment.
Oh, I can't wait! We worked hard on this.
You have some great surprises headed your way!
It's going to be so fun!
Look at the photo Beliz sent me.
Your mother-in-law is ready at the main table.
Wait a minute. Will your in-laws stay somewhere else other than here?
Who knows?
All right. Here you go, your phone.
Nah, I won't take it.
-Turn around, love. -I'll leave it charging then.
You look so gorgeous!
You are a gorgeous fiancée, love bug!
Honey, you're tired, but stop feeling so down tonight.
-Because we have to party! -Yeah!
All right, we'll go and enjoy ourselves. Come on, everyone.
Let's go.
Leyla! Say something to Murat.
It was my birthday when we ended it.
Mm-hmm.
Actually, it was the next morning after.
I'm glad we did though.
I was tired… of being off and on again.
He won't find out we talked, will he?
No. I'm not telling anybody about this. Don't worry.
And I didn't tell anyone.
Well, just you right now.
But nobody knows.
Have you seen Edis?
Where could he have gone? We gotta go now. Find him!
Our flight's leaving soon.
You have to tell me how this ends.
Edis?
Get going.
-You'll be in touch with me? -You got it.
Enjoy your flight.
-When's your birthday? -June 8th.
-It's in June? -Mm-hmm.
On the 8th.
-Ah. -Yeah.
-My birthday is four days from that. -Hmm.
This time he threw me a nice surprise party at his house.
A-At the new one?
Mm-hmm.
It was so nice. Look!
He invited my close friends over to surprise me.
All your friends went to Ömer's to celebrate?
Look, they were all there.
Yeah. It was fun.
Anyway, before he'd leave me heartbroken,
he'd make sure to ease into it.
-Mmm. -Hmm, each time. He did.
That morning, he cooked a lovely breakfast for us.
Did he make you some eggs?
No, no.
He cooked eggs when he handed me the keys to his new house.
LEYLA'S LAST SUPPER
And then?
He gave me a gift.
And went over the issues of our relationship.
He loved you so much, despite everything.
He said he'd return to you eventually.
And then we parted ways. Hmm.
Let's resume, shall we?
Did you change your plans to see the bride, in the end?
Huh?
You did, right? Don't lie.
Go on, say it.
Just tell me, and we can finally settle this.
All right, quit it!
Why did you give up on us?
I didn't give up.
Okay, but why did you disappear?
Is this real?
Are you mine?
Ömer.
Leyla, look.
Leyla!
All right, back off. Stop it. Let go.
Ömer messaged you that night.
-Mm-hmm. -What'd he send?
Did he threaten you?
Were you scared off? You can say.
Only you scared me off.
Ah!
Cem is right once more, isn't he?
Murathan's right again.
-All right, Leyla-- -Is this some game to you? Hmm?
-It isn't-- -Are you for real?
Be honest, and tell me already.
Huh?
I make my own choices in life.
So who are you to make any for me?
Kintsugi, was it?
Kintsugi.
To fix things and move forward from where it was broken.
All right, all right.
What even is that, huh?
It's difficult…
to go on after you've been…
…damaged.
Okay.
It's wrong.
-It's wrong. -Mm-hmm.
A liar.
Such a liar.
Ömer always kept a plan B, you know?
He would see her, and then spend time with me.
Everybody is a liar.
Friends and all.
You're a coward, though.
Oh.
LEYLA IS WITH ME, DON'T WORRY
-That Leyla? -Yeah, it is.
Um, she'll be staying with a friend tonight,
and she'll be here in the morning.
She won't wear it. We got the bracelet for nothing.
That's okay.
Besides, we're only adhering to customs.
I want to spare Ömer from feeling ashamed. We have to ensure that we don't look bad.
If that's what you want, all right.
Oh! Isn't that Leyla?
Leyla? Leyla!
Oh, God, Leyla.
You will regret this.
-Can you please take the call? -Yeah, I'll get it, bro.
Oh, hello, Mr. Altuğ.
Just a minute. Okay, I will.
Hold on.
What's going on, Dad? Right now?
I'm getting my beard trimmed.
Took what?
When was this?
When was this?!
Take this off, bro.
All right.
Ömer, what's wrong?
What was the issue? Did I mess up?
Let's go, man. Hurry, hurry. Come on.
Buddy.
Hey there, my love.
-Hey, Leyla. -Hmm?
-You don't have your phone on. -Yeah.
-You good? -Hold on. Don't.
What's wrong with you? Tell me.
Leyla, I did another stupid thing again.
I sent a really dumb message that couldn't be deleted.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Please, Leyla.
Don't listen to it.
Leyla, did you know I saw you first?
It was the first day of school.
That same week,
I had to drag my best friend to the college party.
I said, "Dude, I've fallen for her," while pointing at you.
That jerk swiped you from me.
Leyla, I swear, last night I was very drunk. Please.
-Huh? -He ruined it for us.
That asshole doesn't deserve you.
Believe me.
One day before the wedding.
No shame at all.
How could he risk everything with you like that?
What an ass.
I did my best not to let anyone come between you two.
Cem tried to interfere but I got rid of him.
-Where'd you go? -Hmm?
-Been out here. -Doing what?
Nothing.
And where were you?
You okay?
Yeah, we're fine.
-Huh? -Come on.
Ömer saw you two kissing at the grand opening of the hotel.
He believed you were done.
So he wept all night.
When he knocked out, I used his phone and begged Cem
to stop coming after you.
I suppose it was you who sent the photographs then?
You're right.
I'm really sorry I did it.
You better leave now.
Leyla, I never meant to upset you.
I didn't want you to split up.
-I genuinely had no-- -Just get out.
Please, look at me, Leyla.
Leyla, believe me.
-Get out, Sarp. -My intent was good, I swear.
-Please, Leyla, I-- -Sarp, get out!
Life has an interesting language,
with all of its signs and codes.
We'd expect to be proficient, but aren't.
Because we learn a new word when someone enters our life.
Love.
Trust.
Rivalry.
Success.
Passion.
Joy.
Longing.
Loneliness.
Disappointment.
Leyla.
My favorite word was "friend."
Leyla? We're here.
The last word I learned was "betrayal."
-Leyla? -Leyla, open the door.
Leyla!
Ömer, relax for a minute.
-Where's Leyla? -Hold on, Ömer.
You need to calm down.
-Cem's with her, right? -Hang on.
-If you just calm down, we can talk. -Calm down.
There's nothing left to say. My parents saw everything.
Wait a second, Ömer. Your mother called me too.
You're wrong about what happened.
Oh, Ms. Reyhan, please. I'm not going to hold back once I start.
Ömer, stay calm. They're friends, and that's it.
Oh, yeah?
Were you with them?
I was with you last night, and yet…
Balım was there.
No, Ömer!
-You won't get away with this! -Ömer, stop it!
-Don't-- Ömer! -I'll fucking kill you!
-What the hell are you doing? -I will end you!
If we hadn't gone to the park that day,
if Buddy hadn't run off and gotten hurt,
if I hadn't gone to her for help…
I won't accept your lies anymore.
You really are despicable.
Ömer…
would you like to play a game with me?
If she hadn't spilled everything,
if I hadn't been shown that birthday photo…
if Cem Murathan hadn't returned one day before the wedding…
That-- Showing up here, you got some nerve!
Come on.
Truth or consequence, Ömer?
You want to talk about the truth to me? You?
Consequence. Yes.
Consequence.
Let's start with 8th June.
Care to tell me what happened?
I swear, I will never give up.
Life is a long journey, with many uncertainties,
and moments of relief.
Sometimes, you need to take journeys without luggage,
like a bird,
light, free, and new.
But who knows? I just might.
So, who knows?
That's just life. ust might.
