"Will you marry me?"

Two months have passed since the big fight  happened in the Yamanlar's mansion. Demir didn't spoke to his mother and neither Hünkar spoke to Demir. They saw each other very little despite living under the same roof. They ignored each other if they ever met and walk past each other if their paths ever coincide.

To this, Züleyha was very impartial. She used to talk with Hünkar but very little. She remained on her husband's side mainly and in a very subtle way, she was enjoying this fight. She thought that this way Hünkar would at least suffer in differentiation from her son and she will go through what Züleyha already went through.

Where did we left Ali Rahmet?
Well, Fekeli bey was more than impatient during this period of time. His heart couldn't find rest at all. He couldn't bare not even one more second without Hünkar. They barely saw each other and if they did, in a very short time they would have to leave to their respectives houses. All this, to prevent any outrage from any of the both families. And so on, preventing a scandal around the whole town.
But despite all that, he was determined of him spending the rest of his life with his beloved one. And didn't care of anything else but that.

That very afternoon, Fekeli have had enough of all this. He dressed, took his gun with him (just in case) and sat in his car heading towards the Yamanlar's mansion. Today was either his defeat, his victory or even his death. He was ready for everything.

[MEANWHILE IN THE YAMAN MANSION]

Hünkar was leaving her greenhouse and heading towards her mother who was with Züleyha and Adnan in the front yard. Demir returned from work and was entering the house when suddenly Fekeli's car came.

Hünkar: [confused.] Aaa- what is he doing here?
[looks at Demir.] Allah'ım, please give me patience!

Demir was shocked and furious. Züleyha immediately stood up and went next to Demir.
Ali Rahmet stepped out from the car and walked towards them.

Ali Rahmet: [sarcastically.] Hello, how you all doing?
Demir: [angry.] What do you want?
Ali Rahmet: [smiles.] Oh boy, calm down!You already know what I want, don't you?
So I came for what is mine and I will not leave until I get it.
Demir: [looks at his mother and then at Fekeli.]
You must be kidding me. She's not going anywhere, get that clear.
Ali Rahmet: I will take her and you won't be able to do anything. Get THAT clear!
Demir: [laughs.] Huh, I dare you!
Hünkar: [exhales.] I can't believe this. Don't you notice am here?
[confused.] What am I? Who am I? Are you buying me? Selling me? What's is this circus?
You both are deciding what to do with me? I can't believe this. Please, behave yourselves.
[looks at Fekeli.] What happened? Is everything ok? Why you came?
Ali Rahmet: [smiles.] Everything is fine. Why shouldn't it be?
[looks at Demir.] Ok gentleman, I will be very clear with I want, although I don't need your permission. I want this to be a peaceful conversation but if you choose violence then I will be forced to use it as well. Understood?
Demir: [looks at him with angry eyes.]
Don't you dare Fekeli. Don't mess around with me. I don't want to talk you!
In fact, none of us have anything to do with you or anything to talk with you.
[looks at his mother.] And since you came "peacefully" then may I suggest you to leave me and my family alone.
And also to leave my house in this very moment, if you are so kind to.
[turns around and heads towards the house door.]
Ali Rahmet: [raises his voice a bit.] I said am not leaving without what I want. And what I want is..[looks at Hünkar.]
What I want is Hünkar and you know that very well.
Hünkar: [looks at him confused.] What you mean? How come that has to do anything with me?
Demir: [walks angrily towards Fekeli.] I won't let you ever take her away. Now go away immediately otherwise you won't leave alive and I don't want to make any fuss.
Hünkar: [stops Demir by touching his arm.]
Wait, wait, let him talk! Please. I want to know what he is going to say.
He seems to be very confident today, he surely has something interesting to say.
[looks at Fekeli and smiles.] You may go ahead.
Demir: [sighs.]
Ali Rahmet: [exhales deeply, waits and says.] Ok Demir Yaman and everyone else present, you shall listen.
Years ago, I fell in love with a magical woman.
A woman like no other. A woman never seen before. A beauty that would left anyone mesmerised and even today does.
[points at Hünkar and says.]
I still remember the first day I saw you, the day my heart started beating like never before, the very first day I fell in love with you.
I wondered, who is this girl? Is she even real?
My eyes captivated every inch of your face and were still craving for more because seeing you once was not enough for them. You were fragile to even look at that, the thought of getting closer to you scared me.
[looks down and then looks at Hünkar again.]
I wanted to touch you but I couldn't, I wanted to hold you but I couldn't, I wanted to make you mine but I couldn't. Then time and destiny played a cruel game which made me lose you forever. I lost all my hopes, it was a hopeless love from then on. You got married and became someone else's wife. You weren't longer mine. You were Adnan Yaman's Hünkar Yaman. My heart couldn't bear the pain so I let myself to my destiny.
[gets interrupted.]
Demir: [furious.] Stop this now-
Hünkar: [interrupts him and holds him back.]
I said wait Demir..let me listen.
Ali Rahmet: [gather his courage.]
But I never thought destiny will unite us again.
We got another chance to revive this old love. I don't want to lose more time. I can't!
I have already lost so many years, I can't afford to lose anymore.
[places his hand on his chest and looks at Hünkar.]
I gathered my courage today Hünkar. Because I can't live without you, is impossible for me. I won't allow myself to be separated from you again.
So today let Allah and everyone be witness of my words. Is today or never, even if I die, I won't care. But I can't hold back this love, not anymore. This is my chance to change our lives forever.
[exhales deeply.]
So, Hünkar.....
[stops as he notices Yılmaz and Müjgan approaching towards the mansion.]
WILL YOU MARRY ME?
Will you be my wife? Would you like to spend the rest of your life with me?
[gets closer to her and with teary eyes.]
Will you..?
Demir: [takes out his gun and full of rage shouts.]
HOW DARE YOU!!? How dare you ask my mother to marry you?
[points his gun at him.]
I told you to go away peacefully. You didn't listened to me. But I won't hold back anymore and I don't care if I end up in jail.
But Fekeli, I prefer death before seeing you getting married to my mother.
You did your choice already now I will choose.
[gets more closer to him.]
I will rather have you killed than giving my mother to you ever.
MY MOTHER, my mo-ther! She has nothing to do with you. She has a family that loves her and will do so forever. She doesn't needs you or anyone else.
[was about to shoot when Hünkar interferes.]
Hünkar: [said very calmly.]
Enough. I said, enough!
I stayed quiet and I listened to you both. I didn't interfered while you both were dictating my life. But now you both will listen to me. And not a word will be said until I finish.
[gets angry.]
What is all this? What's going on?
You both are deciding what to do with me like if I don't exist. You are behaving as if I am a child and you are the ones who tell me what to do and what not.
When am I going to decide for myself?
One is trying to take me away and the other is trying to keep me with him.
Why you both are deciding my life and WHY NOT ME?
[exhales, takes a deep breath and says in a calm tone.]
Ali Rahmet, I never loved any other man but you. And I still do. Time was cruel to us and I bowed to my destiny. Then we had our hopeless love which I already had gave up to.  Today your question reassured me that there's still time and it's never too late. And I think I am ready for any outcome that my answer may give. Because today I will decide by myself and for myself.
[looks around, looks at Demir and then looks at Fekeli.]
So the answer to your question is, yes.
I will marry you.
[take two steps ahead and gets closer to him.]
Even if I will have to go against everyone, I will. But I really want to be happy, I want to choose for myself now and I choose you. I am want to spend the rest of my life with you.
[turns around and looks at Demir.]
And you Demir, my son.
I know you won't ever forgive me for this. But I will learn to live with it too and so will you.
[gets teary eyed but holds her tears back and says.]
My answer may break your pride and your heart. But know that you are the most precious gift life gave me. I haven't gave up on you and I will never. And why should I do that? You are my son, is you whom I love more above everyone else. What makes you think that me choosing to get married is leaving you forever?
I've always did everything for you, just for you.
I've always supported you and most importantly, I've always understood you.
[stops and looks at him with a bit of resent.]
But...It's a pity you never understood me, your mother. And that you don't wish me to be happy for once in my life. It's a pity.
[stops and after a moment, says.]
But despite everything, I assure you, I don't hold any grudges against you. I will never.
I am always gonna be your mother. Even if you leave me, I won't leave you.
I really hope, son, that you understand me, for once in your life.
[with teary eyes.]
That's all.

I am sorry for being so late!! Hope you guys enjoy it, love you and stay tuned💕
