Demir was furious and was throwing everything away. Hünkar was begging for him to stop but in vain. After Züleyha entered the living room, Saniye closed all the doors. And the 3 of them stayed there watching Demir vent out.

After a moment, Demir stopped. But his blood was still boiling. He was angry, furious and felt powerless because he couldn't get rid of Fekeli.

Hünkar: [crying] Demir-
Demir: [interrupts her] Don't! Just don't try to say anything to me.
Hünkar: Just listen to me, please! I will explain everything, let me.
Demir: [angrily] Ok, explain yourself, tell me another lie, tell me this isn't what I think it was and get rid of the matter again.
Hünkar: Fek- [clears her throat]
Ali Rahmet and I, were in love when we were teenagers, 40 years ago. We wanted to be together, we wanted to get married, have our family and be happy. But, things went the other way.
[says with a strong voice]
My father said no. He said that he already gave his word to the Yaman's, that I will get married to their son, Adnan Yaman. Ali Rahmet wasn't that rich and the Yaman's were a rich and big family. And he told me that there was no option for me but to get married to your father.
[sighs]
I would have eloped with Ali Rahmet if I wanted to but he didn't had the guts at that time to do so. And then I ended up getting married with Adnan.
[gets close to him]
Then I had you. My son! My life! And I wanted nothing else but to be with you. I didn't thought not even once of going away and leaving you. But now that you've grown up and you have a family, I also want to complete that incomplete chapter of my life, which my heart is been yearning for years.
Demir: And what does THAT has to do with all THIS huh?
If you wanted someone to be with, there are a lot of men who are ready for that, I assure you. Just say that you want a life partner and a line of men will be out of the mansion. I would've let you marry anyone. But-
[shouts] Why him?? WHY HIM? He is my father's murderer. Do you get it? That man, killed YOUR HUSBAND. He left me without my father all this years and left you widowed, don't you understand that? But still you are trying to justify all this? I don't care, I DON'T!
Hünkar: [angry] What makes you think am
doing this because "I want a man"?
Are you trying to tell me what to do with my life?
I understand that you are angry Demir because of who he is and that you got to know about this in such a way. But don't ever try to dictate my life and what should I do with it!
[looks around] And have lost your senses? Are you trying to sell me? What did you meant by "I would've  let you marry anyone"?
YOU CAN'T DECIDE my life, not even in your dreams.
Demir: [gets close to her in a angry way]
Züleyha: [holds him] Demir, don't!
Calm down and talk this out.
Demir: [shouts] What talk this out? There's nothing to talk about.
[points at her mother]
This woman already messed up everything.
[shouts] And what 40 years love? NONSENSE.
I don't accept this and I don't believe in this "love". You are Hünkar Yaman, Adnan Yaman's wife and Demir Yaman's mother.
No one else but her.
Hünkar: [shocked] What?
[shouts] This woman? I am your mother! But not a trophy of yours or your father's to show to the world.
I may be a mother, a daughter and many other things but above all I am a woman. I feel, I love and I have the right to do so. No one can stop me even if they want to and that includes YOU too.
Demir: [gets near her] I can and I will!
Hünkar: [shouts] YOU CAN'T and you will NEVER!
[says angrily] And if you can't accept this then let me go.
Demir: [says angrily] You won't go anywhere! You got me? And especially to go to him, NEVER.
[stops and looks around and sees Saniye]
And you Saniye? You knew all this right?
I considered you as my sister, we've grown together and known each other well, been friends, I thought we trusted each other. You also hid this from me?
Saniye: [says calmly] Yes, I knew everything.
Yes, I also consider you as my brother. Yes, we still are friends and trust each other. And yes, I don't like to lie. But as you said, Büyük hanım is like my mother, no, wait, SHE IS MY MOTHER. She trusts me like nobody else. She knows that apart from being the forewoman of the mansion and the farm, I am also her daughter.
[looks at her with crying eyes] And a daughter always understand her mother and supports her no matter what.
[looks at Demir] I am sorry, I lied to you. I didn't wanted things to be this way either, trust me. But I did what I had to do and it was supporting the woman who raised me, my mother. My heart would never leave her alone in this journey, understand that.
Demir: [looks down and then looks at Züleyha] And you?
Züleyha: [sighs] I had my doubts at some point. She was acting a bit weird according to me whenever she was at a phone call and I might have heard her calling his name out but I didn't minded because it's none of my business. She has her own life and she barely meddles in my life anyways. And well sometimes I may get angry at her and we have our differences but still I don't think it was appropriate to interfere.
Demir: [looks surprised] And you didn't told me either?
Hünkar: [rolls her eyes] I don't see the point of this!
Get it clear, I am with him and I love him. I am not committing a crime nor loving is a sin.
[wipes her tears] Who are you or anyone else to tell me who to love or who to be with? Who are you or the world to stop my heart from loving?
Why is this such a shock for everyone? I am strong, yes, of course I am but that doesn't means I am heartless, does it? My heart resides in me and it beats more than ever. My life is now focused on me and not anyone else.
[takes a few steps forward]
Now please, if you may excuse me, I will go to my room.
Demir: [holds her hand] So you have decided right?
Hünkar: [confused] What do you mean?
Demir: [angrily] You chose him? You chose him over me? Over your son?
Hünkar: [looks at his eyes] I didn't said that.
[leaves his hand and goes upstairs]
Demir: [sits in the sofa] I can't believe this, I can't! [hits the table]
This is not all, I am not going to give my mother to this man, never in my life will I do that. Impossible!
[looks at Saniye and Züleyha]
I swear, I will kill that man with my own hands. And no one will stop me!

Thank you all for your lovely support💕
