We think we're protecting our hearts, but we're actually locking them away.

Official YIFY movies site: YTS.BZ

We use our fears as excuses, our obsessions as habits.

But true love doesn't follow plans. It usually shows up when you've given up.

When you finally learn to laugh at yourself, love comes knocking.

My story started when I was a child. In a house straight out of a fairytale.

Aslı!

Just a minute.

- Haven't you started your homework yet? - Okay, Mom.

Sweetie, this video again?

- Honey. - Wait, it's getting to the best part.

The most beautiful Valentine's Day gift.

I'm gonna get married on Valentine's Day just like you. And dance like this.

- School comes first, young lady. - I can do both.

Is that so?

- Did you memorize our dance? - Yes.

- Come and show Daddy. - Where's the spin?

Mom wants the spin.

Cicoş.

Good morning, baby. Are you hungry, sweetheart?

Come on, let's get you some food.

He says "Good morning."

"Good morning, Yıldırım."

Good morning.

- Good morning. - Oh, this hat-

- Let me hand you the bagels. - I'll be right there, okay?

No worries.

LOVE PALACE, NO. 14

- Good morning. Got the bagels too. - Come. Oh, I have so much to tell you.

Oh really? Then don't waste any time. Tell me everything.

- I'm meeting Yıldırım today. - No way! Wait a second!

- Coffee? - Sure.

Wasn't this guy super shy? What happened?

Well, we've been talking for a while now.

Things are getting more personal.

Hold on, did you guys sext? That's my favorite!

Of course your mind goes there. No, obviously not.

Then what? What do you mean by "personal"?

Since we met on an app, I told him about myself

so he wouldn't get the wrong idea. Like, "I was career-focused all this time.

I missed out on my love life." Turns out he's the same.

Forget all that. Did you tell him about your Valentine's Day obsession?

Of course not. Why would I scare him off? What am I supposed to say?

"I've had boyfriends but never made it to Feb 14th"?

Look, I believe this year you're gonna finally break the curse. I really feel it.

I hope so. I'm this close to finally inheriting

- my parents' legacy. - Come on, get up!

- Piroş is waiting. - I'm not ready yet.

You go ahead, I'll catch up. I need to pick a date outfit.

"Hello Mr. Yıldırım, please hire me." The jacket from one of my most

cursed dates. I'll burn you. This sends a very deep and wrong message from day one.

This one's cute actually. Didn't match the shoes but there was something…

This tea turned out great! Perfect color.

- We were both dying out there! - God sees those who suffer, Piroş.

Look at me, how do I look?

What's going on, are you headed to a wedding?

I've got a date.

Bride's taken the plunge- now it's up to fate.

Yeah, our bride's been falling off that horse nonstop.

One tumble after another. Boom, crash.

Until today, it's been endless excuses. Work, sick mom…

- Anyway, we're finally meeting. - I just don't understand how a sensible

businesswoman like you is dating some guy from an app.

It's not just any app.

Besides, what good did meeting people the regular way do? None.

Met at a café, didn't work. Friend set us up, didn't work.

But this time I believe. My parents got married on Valentine's Day.

- I'm a love child. This is the year. - But still, I don't get finding a guy

on an app. What if he's a murderer and chops you up?

Look at him, does he look like a killer?

You don't like him? Why the sigh?

I didn't say I don't like him, sweetie. He's very cute.

Piroş, you're a total mystery.

Who knows how many hearts you've broken, acting all mysterious.

Being single is the life. Just wait till you fall in love.

I'd love to stay and eat all this. It looks delicious, but I have to go.

You didn't eat anything after all this prep.

I'm too nervous, Piroş. I can't eat now.

I'll keep you posted, okay? Bye.

We'll be online waiting for updates.

Oh!

You scared me to death. What are you doing?

Aslı. They were gonna kill me.

- I barely escaped with my life. - Who's gonna kill you? What's happening?

Should we call the police?

No way. My whole dating situation blew up in my face.

Your love life, seriously! I thought something actually happened.

- I was scared. - Girl, it almost did. On Valentine's Day,

I had this plan to cut down the girlfriend roster so they'd dump me,

- but it backfired. What could I do? - You deserved it. Anyway…

My ride is here, I'm heading to my date. Bye.

I may look like I'm just fooling around, but…

- You're going to be mine when I grow up. - Sure, honey. Right.

- Your sister's at Piraye's, go there. Bye. - Just you wait, Aslı.

- Can I take your order? - I'm waiting for my boyfriend.

- You've been here for two hours. - I got here early, okay?

Besides, I like waiting. What's it to you?

And you… Where are you?

The number you're trying to reach--

I swear I'll kill you! Thank God Valentine's Day is in three days.

Patience, Aslı.

He's probably not coming.

- I got stood up. You win. - Sweetie, why would we win? Are you okay?

- Why didn't he show up? - I wish I knew. I don't know. His phone's

off, but there must be an explanation. Hopefully he's dead.

Still looking for explanations. Just block him and move on, this is getting old.

- I think he deserves to be blocked too. - I can't block him.

- Why? - Why?

Valentine's Day is in three days and I'm not going in single.

- May God give you sense. - God help you, Aslı.

I'm going to work. Only work will get my head straight.

Yes, baby, I'm waiting for you.

Don't worry, I'm on my way. Can I get the check?

- Oh, poor thing. - Did something happen?

Yes, something great happened. My boyfriend fell off his motorcycle.

How is that great?

Well, the alternative was getting stood up.

I'd rather him fall off a motorcycle than stand me up, right? Accidents happen.

I'm so relieved!

No sane person ever finds me in this city.

Sweetheart, get well soon.

Maybe every setback happened so we could first meet on Valentine's Day.

Like we're part of some divine plan. You rest up, I'm heading to the office.

Had some unfinished work, gonna take care of it. Hello.

Hello.

- I love you. - Look at her coming in on her day off.

Just a boss's pet, that's all.

- Aslı, just who I was looking for. - I had some work left, and with tomorrow's

- meeting, I wanted to finish up. - Forget about that for now.

We have a crisis that needs immediate attention. Come, come, come.

The client didn't find our ad for the restaurant booking site effective.

Have a seat. Come on, let's see.

You need to convince them so we don't lose them.

- Me? - I need someone who knows the project,

- smart, talented, persuasive. - With all these compliments, you must

- really want me to say yes. - Am I wrong?

Fine, what should we do then? Let me set up an online meeting-

No, no, online won't work. Face to face. These people like to be taken seriously.

Plus, the clients own the hotel you'll be staying at. So pitch our project,

then land their hotel's social media account and get your bonus.

- Congrats, you're going to Urla. - What? Urla?

What's so surprising? It's not Vietnam. The clients are there right now.

- Going there would be impressive. - How many days will this take?

As long as it takes you to convince them.

Maybe, is there anyone else you could send instead of me?

- I'm here. - Come in.

What's going on, Aslı?

I have to go to Urla for a few days. You'll watch Cicoş, right?

What's all that about?

- Did Yıldırım surprise you? - Yeah, Yıldırım surprised me.

No honey, I'm going for work. They suddenly put work on me.

Go ahead, ask me why they do that.

Why not, Aslı? Because you're the best employee.

Wrong answer. Because it falls on

Valentine's Day. "Everyone has plans." "You obviously don't, so you go."

- Jerk! Total jerk. - My loneliness is apparently

common knowledge. Like a 90s Turkish pop song. Every generation knows it.

- Oh sweetie! I'm here for you. - Thanks.

What am I gonna do with you?

I can't believe it. I was going to have a boyfriend.

A perfect Valentine's Day.

An epic love story like my parents'. What happened?

It just didn't happen. Aslı's working again. I came to this world to work.

- I'm never gonna find love. - That really sucks, Aslı.

- What did Yıldırım say? - I'm annoyed at him. He took it with

unnecessary maturity. Though I shouldn't judge, maybe he was upset. Because we've

never actually met in person. We hadn't even

video called. Valentine's Day was going to be our first real date.

- Look what happened? All plans ruined. - That really sucks. Then let's just

open this wine right now.

I told you, I've got work tomorrow. I can't drink or anything.

- Don't be ridiculous, what's the harm? - Just one drink, okay? One.

- Oh my God! I told you so. - What happened?

We fell asleep! What time is it? I'm gonna be late, I have a flight.

Don't forget Cicoş, okay? I'm going to get ready.

- Okay, okay. Don't forget your passport. - What passport? I'm going to Urla.

Oh right.

God please don't let me be late. Please, please, please, please!

Excuse me. Excuse me.

- Is the 7B passenger here? - I'm here!

- I made it! - Hello, ma'am. I'm sorry,

we have a small issue. Our flight is overbooked.

What do you mean? Can't I get on?

We'll take care of it, no problem. We're moving you to business class.

Oh! Really? This is my lucky day. Thank you.

- Right this way, please. - Oh.

Welcome, right this way. 2C.

Yıldırım? Oh my God! I can't believe it, it's you.

- Hello? - Is this your Valentine's Day surprise?

How did you set this up with my boss? I'm seriously impressed!

I can't believe it. Never crossed my mind.

Your boss? Excuse me?

Turns out Valentine’s Day is all about you. Who knew you had this in you!

This is the best surprise anyone's ever done for me. I was thinking of something

for you too. I was going to plan something but I didn't expect this much.

I mean, who surprises someone on a plane?

- Tell me! - Ma'am, are you alright?

Stop being coy. I get it now. I thought I was flying out for work

and now I'm in business class with my boyfriend next to me.

- This is unreal. I'm talking to you. - Ma'am, what are you doing?

Please. There's obviously some mix-up here, okay?

- Please don't bother me. - So you're not surprising me right now?

Look, ma'am, I'm seeing you for the first time in my life.

- What about all our messages? - What messages are you talking about?

- We've been talking for months. - Okay, that's enough.

- Excuse me? - Yes?

I'm being bothered. Is there an empty seat?

- 4B is free, I can move you there. - Thank you.

Why are you changing seats? I should be the one moving. I wish I'd said something

sooner. I can't believe this! Shame on you!

- Are you talking to me? - No, I'm talking to the pilot!

He's flying over Iran and I'm upset about it.

Please don't bother me. Go get some help, okay?

You give me hope, then act like you don't even know me.

Good grief! Look, I'm seeing you for the first time in my life. Get it?

I'll show you all our messages right here!

Are you crazy or what? Just go. Sorry about this.

Men are all the same. May God punish all of you!

- Ma'am, please. - Honey, if what happened to me

happened to you, they'd be wheeling you out on a stretcher. Just saying.

Bravo Aslı, you found another jerk.

He follows me all the way to the Urla flight,

then pretends he doesn't know me. I don't understand.

We're gonna die! This is all I needed.

Dear passengers, this is your captain, Emir Atılgan. First of all, I'd like to-

What is he, senile or something? He acts like he doesn't remember me.

Or he could be schizophrenic.

I've seen every type of guy, just needed a schizo.

- Hey there, schizo. - Please, I'm begging you, just stop.

You told me to get help?

You're the one who needs help.

Fine, I'll get help. I'm the one who's sick.

- Oh my God! - Excuse me.

- Yes? - Is there WiFi on this flight?

- Can you connect me? - Unfortunately not on this flight.

Having it on another flight doesn't help me much. Whatever, fine.

I was going to show you, but …

This is a nightmare.

So carefree. Wow! And he's sleeping.

Thank God!

No way, he deleted it!

Wait!

- I'm talking to you, wait! - Look, let me tell you this.

Everyone has their limits and I'm about to reach mine.

You deleted the app, I noticed. Okay? Nice try. I'm not buying it.

If you follow me, I swear I won't hesitate to file a complaint against you.

Fine then, Mr. Yıldırım, go ahead and file a complaint.

Wait a second. How do you know my name?

What do you mean how? We've been talking for weeks, of course I know your name.

- What the- - Forget I asked.

- Of course I know your name. - Don't follow me.

- Jerk. - Baby!

- I missed you so much. - Me too, what's up?

I'm good, you?

Girls, you won't believe what happened. I'm about to drop a huge bomb on you.

Stand by for my call.

Wait, where are you going?

I ran into Yıldırım on the plane, and he pretended not to know me.

I knew something was off about this Yıldırım guy, you know?

You still don't get it? There is no Yıldırım.

He doesn't exist. The guy never met her once.

- Basically, a ghost. Casper. - Let me tell you something.

Look, I just got an idea.

I'm going to figure out this Yıldırım thing. I've got this.

I'll figure it out.

- Welcome. - Hello.

No way!

Wait a second. Coming, sweetie. What's happening now? What are you doing here?

What are "you" doing here?

Yıldırım, what's going on? Who is this girl?

Some crazy woman, she's been after me since the plane.

I'm not crazy!

Your boyfriend's been messaging me for months.

- What? Yıldırım! - Do you seriously believe this?

I'd show you the messages, but they're all gone.

- He deleted his profile. - Yıldırım?

Esin, there's no such thing, I'm telling you!

There is!

Yıldırım, if you did something stupid when you were drunk, clean this up, okay?

Put an end to this trashy scene.

Excuse me?

Look, this has gone too far, okay? Is this some kind of prank show?

Did someone put you up to following me? What's going on?

No, I came here for work, okay?

I keep trying to tell you. We've been messaging for months.

"I love you"s were flying all over the place.

But they're in those deleted messages, right?

Look, that's enough. I don't have time for this nonsense, okay?

I'm here on vacation with my girlfriend. So please, give us some peace.

- Leave me alone. - Have a great vacation!

If this was a surprise, it really went too far.

- Hello, welcome sir. - Hi. Shouldn't have come. Let me give you

- my ID. Here you go. - How can I help?

May God help me.

She's a lunatic. She's been all over me since the plane,

saying all kinds of crazy things.

She must be actually insane.

I've never seen this woman in my life. And she's telling me

we've been talking on some app. I've never downloaded an app in my life.

Total lunatic. I even changed my seat on the plane, that's how bad.

Look, I'm going to tell you something.

We're just getting to know each other, right? So I want you to trust me.

- I really don't know that woman. - I'm really annoyed, honestly.

You're absolutely right. How can I make it up to you?

Well, maybe if you gave me my Valentine's Day gift, I'd feel better?

"Valentine's Day gift"

sounds really sweet, but I'm not really one for those kinds of days. You're so

focused on charity work and stuff, I figured you wouldn't care much either.

- Was I wrong? - I'm just messing with you. You know?

I do the influencer thing only to support charities.

- I don't need it otherwise. - My stomach still hurts.

That woman really stressed me out.

Are we over this?

We're over it. Baby, I know you won't even

- look at that woman but- - Thank you.

- She ruined our mood. - You're right. Get dressed up nice. I made

- a great reservation. Let's eat. - Forget dinner. I missed you so much.

Table eight is waiting, sweetie. Hurry up.

What are you doing, sis?

Where were you? Get over here! I've been waiting for hours!

Coming, coming. Would I ever leave you alone?

Forget me for now. Come here. These dating apps…

Whoa! I don't mess with that stuff.

Thank God I'm good-looking enough. I don't need it.

- You use them? - That’s not it.

What the hell? And what’s it to you?

- I'm wondering, what's it to you? - You're right.

- My phone's ringing. - Right.

- Hey there, Aslı. - You won't believe it, we're at the same

- hotel and he's with his girlfriend. - What?

- Whoa! Who the hell is this guy? - Aslan, hush!

He totally doesn't recognize me! He insists he's never seen me before.

The messages are all gone. I can't prove anything. I'm losing it!

Oh Aslı! But I'm starting to suspect something.

Oh my poor babies. Someone is

using this guy's photo to catfish women. It's that simple!

- Honestly, I feel the same way, Aslı. - What? Am I that stupid?

No, sweetie. You're not stupid at all.

What does that have to do with it? You were so fixated on Valentine's Day,

you wanted to believe, that's all. But I'll figure this out.

Aslan, you had that hacker friend, remember?

You think he could find out where Aslı's been messaging from?

He can find anything.

- But there's a fee. - Fine, I'll pay whatever.

As long as he solves this. Ugh! Jerk.

- Baby, can I take a selfie? - Sure, sure.

- Done? - Can you take one of me too?

I'm not very good at it.

That's okay, I'll caption it "through his eyes"

- or "his POV, heart emoji" or something. - I see.

- Oh, they're here. - Can you get one from behind too?

- Oh come on. Her again? - What happened?

We are so screwed!

- Just ignore her, okay? - Okay.

I hope he doesn't see me.

Thanks.

- Are you sure you don't know her? - Esin, enough. I'm really getting

annoyed now. I've been dealing this lunatic all day.

- She keeps showing up everywhere. - Fine.

Fine then.

Please stop looking at me.

- I'm leaving. - Okay, sweetie.

Good evening, Aslan.

- See you. - See you.

Yes, figured it out!

- What happened? - Yıldırım Demir's account was hacked.

Someone used his info and photos to create a profile on a dating app.

Are you serious? I knew it! You see, Aslan?

- Classic scam, really. - Totally. You can't go clicking

- on just anything. - What did he click on?

- Can we see from here? - What happened?

- Are you in a meeting? - No, meeting's over. Heading to the hotel.

- Tell me. - Aslı, I have some bad news.

- What? Don't tell me I got played. - This Yıldırım guy, the one you're with

there-his account was hacked. They stole his photo and used it.

What are you talking about? Then I totally humiliated myself!

Don't worry, Aslı. We'll figure this out, okay?

Damn it! Okay, hang up.

You're such an idiot. I'm really such an idiot.

- I'm so embarrassed. - Just left Yıldırım.

Go ahead, I'm alone. No, no gift or anything.

I went after him cause he's rich, but…

All right, hanging up.

Girl, if he'd bought something expensive, I'd have sold it when we got to Istanbul.

I owe Adnan, you know. By the way, when you meet Yıldırım,

don't let it slip that Adnan's my ex, okay? He thinks he's my cousin.

He thinks Adnan is my cousin.

And that I do all that influencer stuff to help people.

- He actually believes all that. - Look at this one.

Social media guys are all like that. Bye bye. Hanging up.

Enough.

Can I get the check?

- This is such garbage. - Okay, forget it. Stop looking at it.

Look at them. Fake love. Here.

Thanks.

- Oops, sorry. - Idiot! She's completely wasted.

Serves her right. Come on, let's go.

She left this behind.

Ugh!

- Hold this for a sec. - Yıldırım, what are you doing?

We're at the same hotel. Let's at least drop her off. She'll get hurt.

- She should've drank responsibly. - You're right. She might be crazy, but

- you can't just leave someone like this. - Yıldırım!

The glasses are over here.

Fine.

Excuse me? Come on, we're leaving.

Where? Straight to hell? I'll gladly come.

To the hotel.

She's giving you death glares. Maybe I shouldn't.

I'm about to change my mind. Are you coming or not?

- I'll come with you. - Fine.

Good morning.

Okay.

- Unbelievable! - Esin, just deal with it.

- Good night. - Good night.

No, this way.

Look at us! Carrying a lunatic on our backs.

- Almost there. Hang on. - Why are you even helping this woman?

I don't get it.

- Look at me, are you- - Esin, please. I already explained.

- Don't start again, please. - Shut up, tramp! She'll rip you off

- and you don't even know it. - Girl, what are you talking about?

She's drunk. Don't take her seriously. Don't argue with a drunk. Let it go.

We came here for a romantic vacation. She totally ruined our trip!

Screw your Valentine's Day!

But not that much!

Okay, you're right. Got her. We're good, okay?

This one. Yes.

Easy, easy, easy.

Yıldırım.

When are you going to tell me the surprise?

You turned out to be the real surprise.

- Aslı. - Aslı.

- My name is Aslı. - Yıldırım, come on!

Good night, Aslı.

- Hello. - Hi. Welcome.

The key card seems broken. Can we replace it?

- Of course. - Classic hotel problem.

Yes, indeed. By the way, your girlfriend mentioned she wanted to book the best

restaurant here for tonight.

- Of course, I've saved you a spot. - Thanks.

- Here you go. You're welcome. - Can you cancel that reservation?

- Sure, of course. - Thank you.

You're welcome.

And then he carried me to my room and put me in my bed.

- How romantic! - What's romantic about it?

You basically became a pain in his neck.

I told you a hundred times but does anyone listen to me?

The guy wanted to take his girlfriend on vacation and

- everything went wrong. - Oh, don't even ask.

Anyway, what's done is done.

I'm beyond mortified. Peak humiliation.

Not even the first time. Hopefully the last!

Piroş, don't bring her down. Aslı, just forget about Piroş.

Do your work there, enjoy yourself, and come back, okay?

Okay. Thanks for the kind words. Kisses.

We kiss you back. Go on, go.

Baby, wait, let me take a photo here.

Look at her posing. So annoying. And he's just standing there like a tree.

- Are we done? - Never-ending selfie. He's rooted there.

We're good.

Baby.

What are we doing for Valentine's Day? What surprises await me?

I was thinking…

We'd tour a different vineyard in the evening,

but after that, it gets really exciting.

We're going camping.

Camping! Does he even know this girl? Bugs will eat her alive.

- Are you joking? - Nope.

I mean…

Spending Valentine's Day in a tent?

There's this famous restaurant all the influencers go to.

I called but couldn't get a table.

- You? You couldn't get a table? - I couldn't. Nope.

- Is it that important to you? - Of course! He doesn't even get her.

- Such a douche. - I came here specifically for that.

I need to post from there. Everyone goes, and I can't? Am I a loser or what?

- Yeah, you're a loser, just say it, dude. - Honey, as far as I know, we came here

- for vacation. - Baby, I need to post something

- with you. - What do you mean "need"?

I went there with my cousin Adnan.

"My cousin Adnan" she says.

They're basically a whole scam operation.

Don't get involved, Aslı…

Not your business, okay? Stay out of it. But…

He did me a favor. Maybe if I do him one too?

My karma will clear up. Yes, yes, my karma will clear up.

Let me go save him. I'm coming, Yıldırım!

- Hello there. - You were the last thing I needed!

- I hope you're not starting again. - No, quite the opposite. A huge

misunderstanding happened. I'm so sorry. And thank you for last night.

- Fine, now leave. You're annoying. - I need to tell Yıldırım something.

Oh, really? I'll tear you apart. Get lost!

Esin, what kind of tone is that?

It's fine. The real problem starts now. That cousin she keeps mentioning, Adnan?

- He's actually her ex-boyfriend. - What the hell are you talking about?

Esin, can you calm down? What's going on? Seriously, what are you babbling about?

I overheard her on the phone in the bathroom by accident.

- Are you coming after me now, psycho? - Everything I told you is true.

You didn't get her a Valentine's gift, and that upset her.

That caught my attention as well.

But if you had, she was going to sell it.

She owes money to the "cousin" who is her ex.

Baby, she's lying. There's no such thing, really.

I'm not lying, unfortunately. Also, the whole influencer thing

being for charity? It's all nonsense.

- Do these people ever give free promotion? - What kind of lowlife are you? Get out!

- Baby, she's lying. Seriously. - Look, I told you this because

you didn't leave me drunk on the floor. You brought me to my room.

I wanted to repay your kindness by opening your eyes.

Enjoy your vacation.

Yıldırım, please listen to me. Yıldırım?

- Can we skip this part? - Yıldırım, how can you believe that woman

- over me? I don't get it. - Esin, I've heard enough, okay?

My advice to you, trust is very important in life, okay?

Yıldırım, wait! Why don't you believe me?

This has gone on too long. Let me tell you something.

I'm trying to stay calm here. What you did is basically fraud.

That's an actual crime. So we're done.

- Is that so? - Yes.

Who do you think you are? You can't break up with me.

- I can break up with you. - Fine, I accept.

I'm breaking up with you. Not you with me. I'm breaking up with you, got it?

- Okay, I accept that too. - I broke up with you.

Great.

I listened to Piroş's words of wisdom,

and instead of letting it eat at me, I said everything.

I feel relieved. I have a meeting now. Miss you guys so much. Bye.

You snake! Congrats.

- Bravo! Your plan worked. - What plan are you talking about?

Maybe you distracted Yıldırım, but that'll last two days max. Look at you!

Yıldırım and you? You're a complete loser.

Let me tell you something.

You're probably the most incompetent influencer ever.

That bag is so obviously fake.

And I don't even want to talk about your suitcase.

- What? - Your followers might not notice,

but I know fashion very well.

But your real problem isn't your fake bags.

It's that you're a knock-off pretending to be original. Just like your life.

Look, my ride's here.

If you need one, since you don't have a sponsor, I could drop you off.

Get lost! Just go!

Damn it! How is it even that obvious?

Are you sure he comes here? Look at the time.

Location accuracy is ninety percent. It always shows this place at this hour.

Nobody's come with a laptop though.

- Nah, that's not the guy. - Zeynep, can I get a hot chocolate?

- How do you know? - He doesn't look like that type at all.

Look at him. Totally normal person.

Anyway, I actually suspected that woman over there.

- But she doesn't have a laptop. - This one has a laptop though.

- No way, impossible! - That's him. It's him.

- Who? - Him.

- That one? - Yes.

- So the scumbag showed up, huh? - Got him.

- I'm going to show him now. - Do you need backup? Should I stay?

No, Arda. Sorry I dragged you into this nonsense.

No worries, not a problem.

- I'll transfer the payment to you, okay? - No rush, we'll talk.

Thank you so much.

You lowlife scum! Which poor girl are you trying to catfish now?

- Who are you? - That's not the topic.

The topic is you're not Yıldırım Demir. You're a con artist, a fraud!

Hey everyone, there's a scammer here!

What are you talking about? Are you crazy? Who's Yıldırım?

Don't even try to deny it. I know you've been catfishing my friend Aslı for weeks

using the name Yıldırım Demir. You've been exposed. You're done!

- Ma'am, actually I- - How dare you! You absolute scumbag!

Have you no shame? Don't you have a mother, a sister?

- Will you please sit down? - My friend has been suffering for weeks

- because of you. Do you know that? - I know.

- You know? - I know, and I think you're right.

- You're absolutely right. - And he says he knows!

You're so right. But please, I'm begging you, hear the story from my side too.

Why should I?

If you're not convinced, we'll go to the police together, okay? Please sit.

Please. I'm begging you.

Please.

Piroş.

- Hm? - I honestly feel bad for this kid.

- I really do. - Oh, come on!

You're always looking for something to pity.

How is that related? He tried to be bad but couldn't. The kid was raising money

- for his mom's treatment. - So he decided to become a con artist

- but couldn't pull it off. Poor thing! - Right, he couldn't. He sold everything

he had. He only talked to Aslı. He never took any money from her.

- Not a single thing. - So he tried and tried.

He couldn't even pull off a scam? Poor guy!

Yes, sweetie, he couldn't. Oh, like we're ever going to see this guy again.

- Where would we see him again anyway? - That's what I'm saying.

Stop talking so much. Your turn!

Hey.

I'm Aslı, your friendly neighborhood homewrecker.

Hi.

- What's up? - Good. Had a meeting, it's over.

Didn't want to go to my room. Just having something to drink.

Nice.

- Don't worry, I won't bother you. - Oh, come on.

Have a seat.

- I'm so sorry. - Oh please, no more apologies.

What happened to you, by the way? Did you start medication or something?

- Your aggressive side seems calmer. - Actually, while I've got you alone,

- I want to tell you something. - Sure, go ahead.

I worked my whole life. I'm pretty good at my job too.

But my personal life,

not so much. I had relationships, they ended, and along the way,

I never made it to Valentine's Day with a boyfriend.

What's the big deal? I don't get it.

My parents got married on February 14th.

They're my ideal couple.

You know how they say daughters live out their mother's fate?

Who says that?

- Everyone. It's a big deal for women. - That's nice.

I believed if I could hit Valentine's Day with a boyfriend, I'd be happy forever.

You know what you're saying is pretty crazy, right?

- I never claimed to be sane. - Please continue with your story.

So I wanted to find true love and signed up for an app.

A dating app for people looking for serious relationships.

Then I started talking to someone.

His name is Yıldırım Demir, and he has your photos.

What does that even mean? What you're saying is basically illegal.

Exactly. You should probably report it.

Very interesting. Please continue.

Then we were going to meet but we couldn't, and then…

I get on the plane, and there you are.

I thought you were the person I'd been talking to.

I mean, I'm not crazy.

In a million years I never would've thought I'd say this, but…

- You're right. - Yes, I'm right. Thank God, high five!

So then…

- You never got suspicious? - I got a little suspicious, but I told

myself, "Valentine's Day is so close, just be patient." I'm obsessed, you know.

I guess…

- to getting screwed over. - Getting screwed over.

It's so wild. So now you and that person

are having wine together in front of a fire pit.

- Like a movie. - In your words,

like a Valentine's Day movie.

So I've officially roped you into Valentine's Day now.

Well…

I wouldn't put it that way.

Thank you so much for everything.

Same here. I mean, thank you too for everything.

Let's just keep thanking each other back and forth.

- You're funny. - Being funny doesn't get you anywhere.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

- Are you hitting on me? - No way, what are you talking about?

Good then, I'm going. See you.

Okay.

Aslı!

Sleep well.

- Good night. - Good night.

Yes, Mr. Aziz?

We got the job. Congratulations. You did it again. No need for a third meeting.

- Enjoy Urla! - Really? I'm so happy!

Thank you. Take care. Goodbye.

What should I do? Should I go back?

- Hey. - What's up?

I don't know. I don't know what the new day will bring. We'll see.

Can you get ready in twenty minutes?

- For what? - Urla tour. You'll love it.

- How do you know I'll love it? - Won't you?

I will.

I'll wait in the lobby. Don't be late.

He basically gave me an ultimatum. I loved it. Women are hopeless, I swear.

That's why soap operas are so popular. We're addicted to testosterone.

- Happy Valentine's Day. - Thank you. You too. Take care.

- Hope to see you again, sir. - Mind your own business!

Excuse me?

I'm here.

Can we get the check?

Oh crap. I even saved him as "SOB Enis." Why did he text me?

Do you have plans for today? You know, Valentine's Day.

I didn't quite understand the question. Are you asking if I have a boyfriend

or if I have plans?

Both.

I don't have any plans.

What am I supposed to tell my family?

I'm not gonna marry the guy or anything. Good morning.

Good morning.

- Aslan? - Hm?

- What are you doing tonight? Any plans? - Nah, nothing. I'll just stay home.

Why don't you take these inside.

- Idiot! - What?

- Dude, are you stupid? - What?

The girl is asking you out. Can't you see?

- Why would she? - Why do you think? She likes you.

- Really? How? - Yes, really.

- Hello, welcome. - Thanks.

- Nice place, isn't it? - Yeah, really nice.

- Want to do a tasting? - Sure.

- This one, please. - Of course.

Cup your hand over it right away.

Yes.

Good. To release the aroma trapped in the oil, we warm it with our hands

while also cutting off contact with oxygen. That's very important.

Got it. Then do the wine swirl thing and drink?

Something like that. But timing matters. Have a little taste-- Oh.

An olive oil shot.

- Oh well, it's like a detox for me. - Did you like it?

- Yeah, it's really good. - Great, let's continue.

Thank you.

Welcome, sir.

- Hello. - Everyone here knows you. Why?

- Because this place is mine. - Oh! You never mentioned that.

- You never asked. - What's the story then?

My father had a small olive grove. I had some passion,

so I grew the business. HQ's in Istanbul. And this is what you see here.

- What made you think of opening a museum? - Passion. The olive tree.

The olive tree is so fruitful, so beautiful.

I guess I wanted to show it to everyone.

My story with olive trees is more romantic.

A woman is like the roots of an olive tree.

She wants to connect, to hold on somewhere, to stay put and bear fruit.

A man is like the branches.

He wants to sway with the wind, embrace the sky, feel the taste of freedom.

Both are parts of the same tree. It's impossible for them to separate.

But their dreams look in different directions.

Roots call to earth, branches to sky.

And the secret of the olive tree is this: without roots, branches can't survive.

Without branches, roots can't find light.

- Hello. - Welcome, come in.

- Thanks. Hello. - Hello.

- So many beautiful things here. - Yes, indeed.

- How did you collect all these? - These are treasures from the excavations

of the Klazomenai Ancient City. Some items are from old houses

- in Urla. - Hmm.

Take a look around. Maybe something will catch your eye.

There's a letter tube.

- I love things like this. - There's a letter inside.

- There is. - What does it say?

It's Latin. Do you know what it says here?

I do, actually.

It's a love letter.

An old professor friend visited once. He told me what it said.

- Hmm. - "I could find you under the sand

at the bottom of the seas. Not even this city can come between us."

- That's what it says. - Wow.

- So they never got to be together. - No, they didn't.

- Welcome, welcome. Come on in. - Oh!

- That didn't really make you sad? - A little, actually.

Think about it. In the old days, people had such passionate loves

couldn't reunite, wrote letters.

Things like this really move me. Don't mind me, I'm just that kind of person.

- What's this? - An old photograph.

- There's writing but it's faded. - No way.

February 14th…

- nineteen sixty… - "Three," maybe?

Valentine's Day.

I had an amazing day. Thank you so much.

Me too. I mean, I really had fun.

So you don't think I'm crazy anymore?

I can't say I'm totally convinced of that.

All the good stuff is with the crazy ones.

Is that so?

Maybe I should go crazy too?

Let me find my room key.

- Oh! I forgot the letter. I didn't buy it. - It's okay, let's go get it.

- It's closed by now. - We'll have them open up. Come on.

- Forget it. It wasn't meant to be. - But you loved it so much. Are you sure?

Yeah, but we don't always get what we want in life.

Anyway…

Good night.

Good night.

I wish we hadn't spent so much.

You know, you need it. Your mom's situation…

I mean… But my problems won't be solved with dinner money.

You know that too.

Besides, to have dinner with a beautiful woman like you

on Valentine's Day, I'd even take out a loan.

No way!

I want to say something, but…

If you don't take it the wrong way, I got you a gift.

- For me? - I know it's not…

anything big, but when I saw it, I thought of you.

- This is so pretty! - Right?

- May I put it on? - Of course, of course.

I wasn't expecting this at all, so I'm a bit surprised.

It looks great on you.

- Thank you so much. - You're welcome.

Melek, I'd really love to stay longer. But you know, my mom.

I need to go buy her flowers too. She's my first valentine.

You asleep?

Do people still text that?

No.

- Can you open the door? - "Open the door?"

- I thought you wouldn't open. - I was in the shower, drying my hair.

That's why it took me so long.

I can't believe it. You went and got it?

I don't know what to say. Thank you so much.

I don't know. You really wanted it.

- I just felt like it. Aslı? - Hm?

It's been a long time since…

I met someone genuine. Spending today with you, walking around…

talking and just being completely yourself…

I really loved that.

I don't know what to say right now.

- Don't lose this, okay? - Never. It means something to me now.

Also…

Don't get so hung up. February 14th, Valentine's Day, and all.

Whoever ends up with you is very lucky.

See you.

Stay.

- So your little superstition worked, huh? - Yes, it did. We entered Valentine's Day

- together. - So now we can go our separate ways?

No, I'm not saying that. Should I?

Don't. Honestly, at first,

your obsession seemed a bit scary to me.

You're so right. But didn't you ever want to be like your parents as a kid?

No, I didn't.

- Did I say something wrong? - No.

I'm a child of an unhappy marriage. My mom left us when we were little.

- Lots of women came into my dad's life. - Oh, I'm so sorry.

I was sorry too, but it passed. Everything passes.

Then again, having happy family members like mine has its annoying side too.

People hugging and kissing all around you.

I never experienced that, so honestly, I have no idea.

But if you ask how it sounds…

I think it sounds pretty nice. You're lucky.

- You know what? You're lucky too. - Why?

Because you found someone as romantic as me.

- I really don't want to go back. - Maybe we'll come again.

Promise?

- You want me to promise? - Uh-huh.

Promise.

Here, I brought you Yıldırım. As you can see, he's real.

Yes. Nice to meet you, Melek. This place is so beautiful!

- Should I open it? - Of course.

Looks great.

- Did you make this omelette? - Yes.

- You made this breakfast by yourself? - Do you like it?

- You're an artist. - No phones at the table. In the basket.

What if I don't put mine in?

- No, sweetie. Those are the rules. - Give it, give it, give it.

- Piroş. - Fine.

- I love this rule. - Instead of having nice conversations,

everyone's got a phone in their hand. Ridiculous.

Of course you'd say that. Nobody texts you anyway.

- Let's keep it that way. - Oh Piroş. If they made a show called

"Anti-Love," you'd be the lead. What's with all this hate?

I can't deal with pointless stuff, sweetie.

That's so rude.

- Shame on you. - Sure, whatever. Exceptions don't

- break the rule, hopefully. - Piroş, you're scared of love. Be real.

- You're terrified. - Oh, leave me alone, for God's sake!

Come on, who doesn't have some kind of phobia?

- I don't. - That's because you're clueless.

I do, for example.

Spiders.

But we had your phobia down as "love." At this point, we can't change it.

True.

Mine is flying.

Mine might be bats. One got in the house once. Remember?

- I locked myself in my room. - Oh!

- It was terrifying. - Oh yes, Aslı, that was really bad.

- Honey? - Honey?

- What's your phobia? - My phobia is…

- running out of tea at breakfast. - No, tell us the truth. Really?

Honestly, I don't know.

"Marriage" probably.

- What did he say? - He said "marriage."

- He really said that? - He really did.

He should've said bugs or something.

So my boyfriend has a marriage phobia.

Ugh. Of all phobias, he found marriage. What do you think?

- Look, do you want to get married? - Piroş, come on!

- Every woman wants to get married. - Oh, the expert has spoken. Thanks.

I have a great relationship going. I'm in love, I'm happy.

And of course, among my dreams for the future, there's marriage, having kids,

- starting a family. I want to get married. - The man you want to marry doesn't.

- Then don't want it either! God! - I think this Yıldırım is "damaged."

- What do you mean, "damaged"? - Has he been married and divorced?

No. He hasn't been married or divorced. But his parents divorced.

Could that have affected him? Is that why he says this?

Maybe, of course, anything's possible. But why don't you understand?

I keep telling you, don't get hung up on this.

Enjoy this beautiful love, every second of it.

But my mood is ruined, Piroş. Try to understand me.

- It's totally ruined. - Oh!

- I have to confess something to you. - What? Do you have a marriage phobia too?

No. I've been seeing someone for a while.

What?

- What? - I swear.

- What do you mean "a while"? - Not that long. Since Valentine's Day.

Who is it then?

- Enis. - Who's Enis?

There was this guy, months ago, remember? Under the name Yıldırım.

- He catfished you. - What?

- No way! - You're kidding!

Wait a minute. Just calm down, both of you.

Of all people, you found a scammer?

He's not a scammer, I keep telling you!

What we've been through speaks for itself.

Look, don't worry. He's really a good guy.

May it be blessed. Well, may it work out. What can we say.

Thanks, sweetie. Hopefully you'll be my witness at the wedding.

Of course, of course.

I actually know so little about Yıldırım.

YILDIRIM DEMİR, CELEBRITY

YILDIRIM DEMİR & BAŞAK BENGİ, AT THE SAME TABLE!

Who's this?

BAŞAK BENGİ: I HAVE ALWAYS ADMIRED THE CONNECTION YILDIRIM HAS TO THE LAND

- Baby, you're early! - I'm starving.

Okay, let's head out then. Come on.

- How was your day? - Good. Good evening.

Good evening.

- Sis? - Hm?

- What did you do? - What do you mean?

- Did you talk to the "supreme council"? - I did. I told them everything.

I'm so relieved. Tomorrow, I'm introducing him to the gang, bro.

Oh boy, here we go. Listen, I've got my eyes on you. Tell Mr. Enis too.

Let's be mindful of our behavior, please. I'm asking nicely.

- Oh, don't worry, Lion King. - Stop it!

- Don't worry. - Stop. Okay, stop.

- What the hell? What's going on? - Sis, look, look!

Melek, my angel, will you marry me?

I can't believe it! Melek's boyfriend proposed right in front of our building.

- That was fast! - Actually, not that fast. About the same

timeline as us. I can't believe it. Look at that.

- So beautiful. - Now that there's a proposal,

our group chat won't shut up.

They're already texting.

They're writing "Hope Aslı's next."

This meat is really dry this time. How's yours?

Good. Slow-cooked on low heat, like it's been waiting for years.

- Want to order something else? - No, no. I can't change now.

I started with this. I'll finish with this.

Are you ignoring the whole marriage topic? Or is it just me?

Nope.

- But it's not a topic that interests me. - Is it Melek's wedding you don't care

about or marriage in general?

So what's this marriage phobia thing?

Aslı, let me be honest with you.

I don't see myself getting married.

Just for now?

No. Not now. Honestly, not ever.

Oh.

Aslı.

I love you so much, you know. I'm not saying this just because we're

somewhere fancy and romantic. I really do love you.

And I think marriage would ruin that.

So you're one of those "marriage kills love" people.

As a child of divorced parents,

let's say I've lived it firsthand.

- I see. - Do you…

I mean, have any thoughts or wishes about marriage?

Not right now. But someday, yes, I want to get married.

- Oh! Look who's here! - You're the last thing I needed right now.

- "Adnan's cousin" is here. - How are we doing?

We were fine until we saw you.

But once you leave, our mood will go back up.

Fine, good. It won't take long anyway.

Don't feel too special, okay?

Your ending will be like mine. He'll find someone and dump you.

Silence. I guess you're done talking?

Enjoy your meal then.

I would've said something, but I didn't want to use bad language.

Forget her. She thinks she's getting revenge. Whatever.

Nothing really gets to me anymore. I just let everything roll off me.

Nothing matters.

Oh, this is so pretty. Let me send this to the girls right away.

Yeah.

The coffee is really good.

I make it myself.

- Selin, sweetie. - Melek.

- Can we talk? - Sure. What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong, sis.

- I just want to leave. - Come, and we'll figure it out.

Selin, sweetie…

Look, honey, trust me, it's not worth it. Really, it's not. Let's do this.

Go out, clear your head, take a walk. We'll talk it through later.

Don't worry about anything, don't stress over it. Okay?

Selin. Where are you going?

The number you have dialed is not available. Please--

What do you mean, it's not available?

I must be doing something wrong.

Calm down. Try again.

How is this possible?

Sis, where did Selin go? Sis, what happened to you?

- Aslan. - What happened?

- You finally got to meet. - Yeah, we kept missing each other.

- My work trips just never end. - They never do.

- Nice to meet you. - We're happy to meet you too.

- So are we, dear. - Welcome then.

Thanks for having us.

- Thanks for having us. - It's been a while since we met

- one of Yıldırım's girlfriends. - Good job, love.

Yıldırım, did you make some changes to the garden?

You noticed?

- Uh-huh. - What?

Not me, Aslı did. She spiced things up a bit.

I made the artichoke. You have to try it. It's really good.

I'll pass, thanks.

- You have some. - I'll take some. Hakan eats everything

by the way. Don't let his skinny frame fool you.

Don't pick on me.

Well, let me get some wine from the kitchen.

I'll join you.

- I know where it is. - That's okay, I'll come along.

Alright.

- Don't bother, I can handle it. - Oh please, I'm used to it.

I'll shove that habit down your throat.

Nothing, never mind. Here.

- Oh! These are from Başak's vineyard. - Who's Başak again?

Yıldırım's ex-fiancée, our friend. He must've told you.

They were madly in love.

She left him a few weeks before the wedding.

Wedding?

Oh, you didn't know? Hope I didn't put my foot in my mouth.

No, I actually knew. I must have just forgotten.

- Everything okay? - Yes, I found wine from Başak's vineyard.

I'm so happy. I want to drink right now. Come on, join us.

So you had a fiancée named Başak. Why didn't you tell me?

Because there's nothing to tell.

You said you never wanted to get married. You had a marriage phobia.

Can we not talk about this right now, Aslı?

Should I understand this as, you actually did want to get married once before?

Aslı, what are you trying to do right now? You want to fight with me over the past?

You told me before. Your parents had a bad relationship, they divorced.

So you had marriage trauma. "Marriage kills love" and all that.

Why are you so stuck on this marriage thing? I don't get it.

I'm stuck on it because you actually wanted to get married before.

You didn't think I was worth marrying.

Good grief! What does "worthy" even mean? What's that got to do with anything?

And honestly, I don't get where this obsession with marriage came from.

We're eating, we have friends inside. Why are you ruining this?

I'm ruining it? You literally lied to me. You're a liar.

- You ruined everything. - You're starting to talk nonsense, okay?

- Let's talk later. - The girl dumped you before the wedding.

Was it too hard to admit a woman hurt you? Is that why you fed me all that

- "marriage phobia" tales? - Aslı, enough!

Yes, enough! You said lying was your red line, well lying is my red line too.

Since you actually wanted to get married before but told me all that.

I get it now. You don't want to marry "me."

Maybe she didn't pressure me this much,

that's why I wanted to marry her. Ever think about that?

Aslı, Aslı, Aslı.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean that. I'm sorry. Can we talk?

What a disappointment you turned out to be.

- Aslı! - Let go!

He said I was "so eager to get married." Can you believe he said that?

But Aslı, think about it this way…

- You could be in my position. - God forbid.

Thanks a lot!

He said "we're getting married." So I went and took out a loan. How stupid am I?

Why would he ask you to take out a loan? Damn him. I can't think of anything else

- to say. - Amen.

Anyway, so here we are…

comparing miseries. Should we just drink? I think so.

I'm going to block him on everything. Seriously.

Block him. You're already late.

- I don't want him reaching me. - Who is that? Who's he?

- Doesn't want to marry you? - He sent a voice note.

- What's he saying? - Aslı, please pick up your phone.

Let's sit and talk. Don't do this over something silly.

I love you so much, okay?

And please don't make such a big deal out of everything.

He said "don't overreact."

- Unbelievable! - You're hearing this too, right?

I mean, he's blaming me. This guy's a narcissist, I'm telling you.

We have a narcissist on our hands, a scammer. Oh boy.

I'm blocking him on everything. I don't want him to see me or reach me.

Block, block him!

- Dude, want me to go talk to her? - No, no, no need.

- Why not? - Because she didn't even bother to listen.

Why didn't you tell her what happened? That you caught Başak with someone else

right before the wedding, why didn't you tell her?

Hakan, I'm telling you, she didn't even bother to listen.

Besides, Başak has no place in my life anymore.

It's in the past. I don't wanna talk about it. Look where we ended up because of

some stupid thing.

- The number you have dialed-- - Oh my God!

She blocked this number too. Seriously, how childish.

Oh! What did you do? Weren't we supposed to be the smarter species?

Look at this girl's situation. Worse than us.

How could she be worse off than me? Did she take out that many loans too?

Girls, hasn't this heartbreak gone on long enough?

- But he said to me-- - Oh, "you're so eager to get married".

- Did I mention that? - Yes.

This guy who told me that was about to get married to Başak himself.

Plus, what does Başak have that I don't?

I've researched so much, I basically know her whole life by now.

You know what? Hacker Arda heard what happened. He called to wish me well.

I'm seriously so embarrassed.

- How sweet of him. - So sweet. Honestly.

- He keeps calling me, you know? - Hmm.

The more I get to know him, the more I like this guy.

Look, he's calling again.

Maybe you two like each other a bit too much?

Oh please, we're just friends. What's the big deal?

Did we burden this woman too much? Look, she's running away from us.

Maybe. But what can we do? I'd say let's talk about something else.

- How are we supposed to process that? - Girls.

The doorman found this, this morning

at the entrance. Since there's no apartment number, he thought it was mine

- for some reason. - Is there no name?

- It says "To Her." Whatever that means. - Oh, maybe it's yours, Aslı?

Mine? Why would mine write a letter? I think it's yours.

He owes so much money, he's probably apologizing.

Mine? No way. I can never open this.

- Absolutely not. You open it. - It's clearly for one of you two.

- Open it already, for God's sake! - My blood pressure's going up. My heart's

racing. No, I can't open it either. You're the calmest one. You do it.

Blocked the guy everywhere, then when a letter comes. Oh my God!

Whoever wants to reach you will even send a fax, Piroş. Open it!

Dear Piraye, as I write this letter, I'm amazed at how fast time has flown.

Piroş?

Of all my "what ifs" in life, the biggest one is you.

Life didn't give me a second chance. But maybe these words can get

not forgiveness from you, but a smile.

Suavi, I talked to my mom. She says, "Let's do the engagement in summer."

- And school will be done by then too. - Really? I'll talk to my father too.

We can have the wedding next year.

Every time I say your name, a spring blooms inside me.

- Why did you bring this girl here? - Dad! She'll hear!

- Let her hear! - Dad, I want to marry Piraye.

- Isn't this Mrs. Müjgan's daughter? - Yes, dad.

I'm not giving my son to that woman's daughter.

- Dad, we love each other! - Love doesn't pay the bills!

That girl will never set foot in this house again. Close that chapter!

You'll end this. Understood?

But now I'm in autumn…

- Piraye, I'm sick. - Piraye!

And maybe these are the last words I'll ever write to you.

I just wanted to see your eyes one last time. If you want to see me,

I'm at Livora Hospital. If you don't come, I'll understand.

Forgive me.

Suavi.

I can't believe it!

Piroş.

What are you going to do?

- I don't know. - I think you should go.

- Absolutely, sweetie. You have to go. - I don't know.

It wasn't even his fault.

- You separated because of his father. - And he's sick too, Piroş.

- Yes. What if something happens? - Okay, okay, okay, okay.

- That's it! Get up. - Oh, Piroş.

Go, Piroş, go!

Okay girls, okay. Please just leave me alone so I can

- collect my thoughts, please. - Okay. Okay, she said "leave her alone."

- Go. - Okay.

- I'm going to faint from excitement! - Shh! I'm a mess too.

Honestly, you two have been very helpful. Thank you.

Sorry, Piroş. You look really nice today, you know?

- Uh huh. - But too calm.

Nah, she's zoned out, sweetie. That happens to me too when I'm excited.

Honestly, I'm going to knock both your heads together.

You'll see excitement then! Wish me luck.

- Good luck. - Good luck.

Piraye.

Don't strain yourself, don't.

Is it you? You came.

I never really left.

Why did you wait all these years?

You wouldn't have come if I wasn't dying.

Don't I know your stubbornness?

Don't worry, nothing will happen to you.

I'm the one who was ruined, Piraye. I died while I was still alive.

Forty years without you. Now, I'm not afraid of anything.

No talking like that.

No talking like that. No, no, no. Don't talk like that.

VALENTINE'S DAY

Here comes that cursed day of the year again.

What's this? Who left this?

Did this come for Piraye again? Though they made up now.

What's this?

FLIGHT TICKET SEAT 4A

When you told me the story of the olive tree,

you said, "Their dreams look in different directions. Roots call to earth,

branches to sky." And I'm telling you,

"Even if dreams pull in different directions,

sometimes love becomes a bridge,

and paths draw closer together instead of apart."

Where everything began…

I'll be waiting to make a new beginning with you.

I can't let pride get in the way. I love him, damn it!

Melek.

Melek. I'm leaving. Watch Cicoş, okay?

- Aslı, where? - I'll explain later.

- Wait a second. - I'll explain later.

- What's going on? - No idea.

- Melek. - Arda, welcome.

Thanks. How are you? Haven't seen you around for two days. I was worried.

You're so right. I just couldn't get back, been so busy.

Okay, no problem.

- We talked about going to the movies. - Uh huh.

And today's Valentine's Day.

I was thinking maybe

we could do something together. Hang out a little, if you're free.

Sure.

- Yeah, yeah. - Do you have time?

I do, I do. I mean, I have a little work. Can I get you a coffee?

- Sure, no problem. - Great! Then let me hand this over.

Be right back.

Okay.

Can you stop here please? Thanks.

Yıldırım!

- I missed you so much. - Me too.

Hello? I'm on a date, I can't talk now.

But let me tell you, I made such a power move,

everyone's gonna be talking about me.

Wait, he's coming. I'll call you later. Bye-bye.

- What happened? Everything okay? - Yeah, yeah, fine. I talked to my mom

and she didn't sound too good. Anyway…

I don't want to ruin your mood.

- Enjoy your meal. - Okay. Enjoy.

Aslan, come help.

- How should I help? - Give me, dear, I'll take it.

Did you make this? Great job.

I'll get the door.

- Please tell me I'm not too late. - You're not. Come in.

What beautiful flowers!

What we want in life and what actually happens often don't match up.

We find ourselves fighting against the way time works.

But time doesn't work according to us.

When we stop trying to interfere with time's plan, fairytales begin.
