Upon hearing his mother's words, Demir took her by the hand. And started dragging her towards the mansion. Meanwhile everyone was watching. He told everyone to stay away and not to interfere.

Ali Rahmet: [runs after Demir and shouts.]
Demir, leave her!
Hünkar: [stopped him.] It's ok!
[while being dragged by her hand.] Don't worry, I will be fine. Just don't come please!
Ali Rahmet: [sighs.] But-
Hünkar: [interrupts him.] I said, I will be fine.
[raises her eyes.] Trust me.

Demir brings her inside the mansion, then takes the stairs and drags her by the hand until they reached her room.
He left her hand in a gentle way and asked her to take a sit. She sat on her bed with her hands on her head and he started to pace around the room. From right to left, from left to right. He was behaving impatiently, full of anger but still very calm, surprisingly. After a while of total silence, he stops.

Demir: [stops pacing; takes a deep breath.]
Hünkar: [sighs.] Demir ya!
Demir: [answers angrily.] What Demir huh?
[asks pointing outside.] What was all that? Why did you accepted his proposal?
Hünkar: [with a surprised voice.] Aaaa-
[looks at him.] Whom did he ask? Me, right?
So Demir bey, who is supposed to answer?
Me! AND I answer how I please.
[sighs heavily.] For goodness's sake, what is all this? What is wrong with you son?
[asks calmly.] Shall we talk this in a decent way please? Without making any fuss. Like two normal human beings communicate, without getting angry or shouting. Can you please do that? Will you?
Demir: [squeezes his fist.] Agggh. Allah!!
[sighs and calms down.] We can if you want to.
[takes the chair and sits in front of her.]
Hünkar: [smiles a bit.] Oh.
[looks at him with profound eyes.] My son, tell me honestly what is wrong, what's the reason behind your anger?
[looks into his eyes.] And- don't tell me it is because he killed your father. Because I know that's not the issue.
You're my son and I know you very well. I read your face, your mind and heart. There's something else that angers you, bothers you.
[places her hands in his.] Don't lie to me.
Demir: [removes her hand away from his.]
What am I supposed to tell you?
Hünkar: [in a serious tone.] Demir!
Demir: [looks at her and sighs.] Ok, ok.
[looks around and takes a deep breathe.]
Mom, I- [stops; takes a moment and says.]
I am jealous. I am very jealous. IN FACT, am more than jealous. You see, I can't with this.
[looks back at her and talks softly.]
For years, you've spent every single moment of your life with me. I am used to you. You are my only comfort, my whole existence relies on you. Is you whom I can't afford to lose ever. Is you whom I will give my life for. Is you whom I need in my life. And trust me mom, I am ready to sacrifice everything for you to be happy.
But- [stops and looks at her.]
Hünkar: [asks calmly.] But what Demir?
Demir: [sighs; squeezes his fist.] The thought of another man being with you angers me fully.
[looks at her; lowers his head out of  shame.]
The thought of him touching you, it- aggh, I don't know how to say it.
Hünkar: [Trying to control her laugh; looks aways and smiles shyly.]
Demir: [still looking down.] Any man not just Fekeli, any man who gets close to you makes me go angry. Makes me furious.
[hits his leg with his fist and says hesitating.] And now you are going to get married to someone. TO A MAN. And you know what does that means right? It means that he will be near you, he will touch you and he will even sleep by your side???? [shakes his head.] Oh god!! I can't even think of it-
[looks at her and sees her trying to control her laugh.] What's so funny? Am I wrong tho?
[laughs with her.] Am serious anne yaa!
[holds her hand and smiles a bit.]
You are my first love and I am jealous that I am not yours but oh well. It was Fekeli before me.
My whole life my mother has been mine, only mine. Her time, her love, her affection, her everything was only for me. And no one else.
Now with all this, everything will change.
I won't be your priority anymore, your time will no longer be for me, your love will be for him and most sadly, I'll have to share my mother with another man.
[makes a sad boy face.] Oh mom, that's the truth, that's all. Nothing else.
Hünkar: [bursts out laughing.] Oh Demir, HAHAHAHHAHA. I can't with you!!
[keeps laughing and then controls a bit.]
Koskoca Demir Yaman, acts like a jealous baby boy when it comes to his mother? Unbelievable. Impossible hahahaha.
[stops laughing and calms down.]
[takes his hands.] My dear son. You said, you are not my first love. You are wrong. YOU are my first love and will always remain so.
Yes, I thought until a long time that my first love was Fekeli, silly me! But when I held you in my hands, my whole world changed and true love came into my life. After that, I realised that my first and true love, was in fact, my son.
[whispers at him and laughs.] Let Fekeli think otherwise, you and I know the truth.
Demir: [laughs; whispers.] Our little secret!
He thinks that he is your first love pfff, dumb!
Hünkar: [winks at him.] Yes, our secret.
[laughs.] Don't be rude! But he's a bit hahaha.
Demir: [stops laughing and sits next to her then places his hand in hers.] Mom, I am sorry. I am truly sorry if I ever hurt you or your feelings. It was never my intention. I was angry because, you know, Fekeli. But I didn't wanted to ruin your happiness. And still I don't wish to be the one who steals your happiness away from you. It took me a lot to process it. And I allowed myself to think about this and even consider about your life with him. And am not angry anymore. Trust me!
[looks down.]
Hünkar: [lifts his head; says in a soft tone.]
Then, LET ME BE FREE son. Let me go.
[touches his face.] Demir, let me live my life.
Let me love and be loved. Trust me, nothing will change between us. You will forever be my priority. And- [smiles.] I will always be yours.
Demir: [touches her face and sheds a tear.]
It is so difficult for me mom! Imagining it scares me so much.
[sighs.] But your smile is worth all the pain.
[places his both hands in her face.] I accept this marriage. Be happy mom.
Hünkar: [surprised; hugs him.] Demir'ım!
Demir: [hugs her tightly.] I love you mom.
[whispers.] But if he ever makes you shed even one tear, I will kill him with my bare hands.
[shrinks his face.] I still don't like him tho.
Hünkar: [laughs; removes her tears.]
Ok fine hahaaha but be nice at least.
[kisses his forehead.] And I love you too.
Demir: [kisses her hands.] My dear mom!
Hünkar: [smiles at him.] My baby boy.

Thank you all for your love and support💕
