With flights suspended at the airports, Berat tries to escape the harsh winter and the pain of having lost his wife a little over three months ago, traveling with his two children, four-year-old Ferhat and two-year-old Volkan, to Georgia, a city which borders Turkey.
Unexpectedly on the road, a rock slides from the ravine in front of you, causing a rollover accident.Trapped by a seat belt, Berat screams for help when he sees his helpless children crying, tied to the car seats in the back seat.Efé, who was returning from a family wedding, next to his wife and also their six-month-old twin children, does not think twice before parking his vehicle on the side of the road, to try to save that man who was screaming desperately for help, trapped by the belt in the car.“ Help me”.“Calm down brother. I'll get you out of there”.Efé's wife approaches with her hand on her head.“ His luck was the airbag had deployed”.A strong smell of gasoline invades Berat's nostrils, who realizes that the car does not take long to explode.“ Smell of gasoline. Take my children first, please”.Efé looks at the backseat, quickly removing the children and handing them to his wife.“The car is going to explode get out of here now”.“No, without getting you out of there first”.“Don't do that, you'll die”.The rain followed by a strong thunder happens, but nothing stops Efé from giving up on saving that stranger.“Wait a minute, I'll cut the belt”.With a penknife, Efé cuts the seat belt and forcefully pulls Berat out, dragging him away from his car, which does not take long to explode.“You saved my life and that of my children. I will never be able to thank you for what you did”.Berat and Efé become friends, making a marriage contract between their children Ferhat and Luna.Twenty one years pass and Luna grows up without ever having seen her fiance.The friends wave from the square and Luna replies asking them to wait.“So Mom? I can go”?
“Luna, you know that your father doesn't like to arrive and not see you at home”. “It's Sila's father's surprise birthday. It won't be long Mom, believe me. I'll be back soon and Dad won't even know I'm leaving”. “All right, go and come back before dark”.“ Yes ma'am”.Luna kisses her mother and leaves with her friends for the Besiktas basketball camp in Turkey, where a game will take place that will benefit those displaced by the earthquake.Although it was only forty seconds, the earthquake was of magnitude 6.8 leaving more than one hundred dead and thirty-nine people trapped pulled from the rubble.If you count around 1,500 people, they were injured and hospitalized.Three former Besiktas players and stars joined forces to participate in a game to raise funds for the survivors of this sad earthquake in Turkey.The friends Volkan, Kaan and Enes spared no efforts and embraced the cause.The President of the Olímpia Milan Basketball Club, also present at the stadium, made Volkan an offer to train his team in Italy, but he refused.Volkan CEObecome father's right-hand man, who owned the largest automobile company in the country.Although Volkan was the youngest son, he possessed an enormous sense of responsibility, which his older brother, Ferhat, lacked.“ Thank you Mr. Pantaleo, but at the moment I must refuse”.“ It would be an honor for us, that you sign a contract with us”.“ Unfortunately, I can not. My father owns a car company and it's just me and my brother helping him”.“ If it was a contract for just one season”?“Still I would say no”.“ Who knows just one championship for our country”?“I would very much like to help you, Mr. Pantaleo, but my answer is no”.“ Keep my card, in case you change your mind one day Volkan.“ Thank you Mr. Pantaleo”.Volkan keeps the card in his wallet and when leaving the room he collides with a beautiful girl, spilling the soft drinks he was carrying on a tray on top of her.“ Oh it spilled all over my dress”!The beautiful young woman grumbles.“ Look where you're going sister”.Luna frowns and her eyes meet.“ You are the one who needs to look, where are you going brother”.Volkan loses his voice.“ I”?Volkan smiles.“ You.Luna repeats firmly and Volkan approaches getting very close, looking into each other's eyes.“ Who appeared in front of me, like a thrown Ball”?Volkan recovers from the shock of seeing that beautiful girl.“ I was passing by and you left that room like a hurricane. Look what you did’?Luna points to her soda-stained, wet dress and Volkan looks her up and down.“ If you were less clumsy and more attentive this would not have happened”.Luna is furious upon hearing these words.“ Is there really”?Luna angrily drops the remaining glass of soda on Volkan's head, who angrily pulls her to him.Their gazes meet and a feeling they haven't experienced yet arises in that instant.“ Are you crazy”?“ Let me go or I'll call security”.“ I should call security for you”.Volkan looks at Luna's mouth.“ I told you to let me go".“ You are very stressed”.“ You who are stressed and not a Knight”.Volkan remains holding her and looking into her eyes.A friend of Volkan arrives to say that the game is about to start.“ What happened”?Luna pulls back her arm and glares.“It was nothing Kaan”.“ Nothing? You spilled soda all over me, ruined my dress and still say it was nothing to your friend”?“ All right, all right. I'll buy you another soda and get you another dress. Just tell me where you live and I'll have it delivered. If you prefer, I'll give you the money and you buy it yourself”?
Volkan opens his wallet and starts pulling out some bills.“ Do it soon friend, we need to go".“ I think that amount pays your loss young lady”.Luna, annoyed by Volkan's lack of sensitivity, pulls the money out of her hand.“Look what I do with your Money”.“ Hey, don't do that girl”!Luna takes the money from Volkan's hand and throws it on him, then leaving the place.Kaan laughs and they both watch Luna go.“ Warming her up huh”?“ Too much for my taste”.Luna goes to meet Ceren and Sila. Friends, who came towards her.“ Crazy girl”.“ Where did she come from”?“I do not know. She appeared in front of me out of nowhere and accused me of spilling soda on her dress”.“ In fact her dress got all stained”.Kaan laughs and Volkan takes a deep, regretful breath.“ You're right. I could have helped the girl”.“ Now there's no more time”.“ Where did she go"?“ Let's Volkan. So we are late”.Volkan follows with Kaan looking around hoping to see Luna again.“ Where were you Luna”?Ceren and Sila look at Luna's stained dress.“ What happened? What happened to her dress”?“Crazy Ceren, who bumped into me and knocked over our sodas”.“ I'll buy more. Luna doesn't matter. Stay here with her Ceren”.“ Okay, Sila, we're waiting for you here”.“ Look what he did”.Luna upset shows the dress.Kaan and Volkan talk in the locker room.“ Look what she did”.Volkan's shirt was also all stained.“ It doesn't matter. Change the shirt after the game”.Volkan takes off his soda-soaked shirt and puts on his game uniform, thinking about Luna and his encounter with her.“ I have to admit that you are beautiful princess”.Volkan mutters as he changes his clothes.At the stadium, the announcer announces the entry of the three players.“Tünaydin (Good Afternoon). Let's call now the former players and creators responsible for this event. Without them, it would be virtually impossible for us to help the survivors of the great earthquake that occurred in Turkey. Our thanks to the undefeated champions of Turkish professional basketball: Enes, Kaan and Volkan”.The three former basketball players enter with an ovation, are greeted by the rest of the team and start the friendly game against Italy.“ It's him”!“Who is he, Luna”?“He's the one who knocked over our sodas”.Ceren and Sila look at each other and speak together.“ Volkan”?Though the stadium is ablaze with screams from the fans, Luna hears nothing, only Volkan's voice ringing in her ears like soft music.“ Who was that man? And why, when bumping into him, did a musical repair happen inside you”?On the square, Volkan searches among so many faces to see her face again, the girl who had just robbed him of his balance.“ Where will she be? I need to see her again”.Volkan thinks as he scrutinizes every person in the stands, after every shot is converted into a basket.Even though it was so difficult to find her in a crowded stadium like that, Volkan didn't give up, until his eyes found her, in the middle of the crowd.Ceren comments to her friends. “His name is Volkan, ex-basketball player from Turkey”. Sila still confirms. "Champion for Besiktas". “My sister Rabia, go out with your brother Ferhat from time to time”. "Serious"? Ceren nods yes. “But Ferhat doesn't want to commit to anyone. Only my silly sister doesn't see that”. “I feel sorry for your sister Ceren” "It's good that she learns to choose right" Ceren comments and Luna looks at Volkan, who has just scored a basket, sending the stadium into a frenzy. “You didn't know him, Luna”? “You know I don't follow football, basketball, volleyball, that Dad doesn't like women to see that, Ceren. Only he and my twin can watch.” Sila says indignantly. "I don't know how you came here today, with the retrograde thinking your father still has." “We lied to Mr. Eph, of course Sulla. "Allah forgive me, for lying to my parents". “I'm sorry, but it's amazing that here in Istanbul, there are still people, who think like your father Luna. Luna
As soon as the day dawns, Luna's thoughts turn to Volkan."I'll never see him again for sure."“Talking to myself little sister”.Ahmet is Luna's twin brother.“No more knocking to get in, not the room”?"As soon as you woke up, you're going to fight with me"?“You already wake up doing nonsense Ahmet”."Mom just went to the restaurant and left something in the oven for you to take care of."Luna leaves the room and opens the oven."It's borek".“Yay. I love borek”.“For lunch only”.Borek is a Turkish food, similar to pastries, only with dough filled with meat, cheese, spinach or other vegetables.Luna goes to the living room and sees the table ready."Our mother left it tidy". “Mom is a sweetheart”.“I'm glad today is Sunday, I'm going to eat and sleep a little longer”.“Dad and Mom work a lot at that restaurant. You should help them, Ahmet.”"I don't want to live my whole life cooped up in a restaurant, Luna."“What do you intend to do then? Since you can't get a job? And on top of
Volkan pays the bail, takes the car and drives Ferhat home.“Next time, watch out for kissing girls in public. You are not in America anymore”.“I was going to imagine that the guard would catch me”.“And who is the girl”?"Whatnot. I found it at the club.”“You really don't. What about Rabia?"Rabia can't know that, eh Volkan"?“I won't be the one to say. But the press” present at the police station.“Volkan. Call your friend from the newspaper and ask him not to publish my picture. Otherwise our father will kill me”.As he always does, Volkan tries to get his brother out of yet another mess by picking up the phone.“I'll see what I can do”. "Thank you brother. Now let me sleep, I'm dying of sleep and tiredness”."I don't know how Ferhat can still be sleepy."Ferhat is the eldest son of Berat Erdogan, owner of the largest Automobile Industry in Turkey.Berat knows that his son Ferhat is irresponsible, wasteful and lives in fights, unlike Volkan, a sensible, hardworking, reliable boy,
"Finally found you". "I do not believe that". Finally Volkan and Luna come face to face. "Do you want a ride"? “Who said I get into strangers' cars? Taxi. Taxi". Luna runs wanting to escape the chance encounter with Volkan. "Do not wait. I still don't know your name." Luna gets into the taxi not giving Volkan the chance to get to know her better. “What's the matter with this girl”? This time Volkan wasn't about to let Luna out of his sight. Inexplicably, Volkan had felt a strange emptiness as soon as he'd seen her leave the stage with her friends, but now he wouldn't let her get away again. Volkan is the CEO of his father's company, his right arm, considered a serious man without ever having been romantically involved with a woman and the chance meeting with Luna, on the internship on the day of the basketball game, had stirred his heart. Luna had felt the same, but she needed to get away from that desire because she knew she was predestined to marry another. An arranged m
Ceren and Luna were changing clothes, when Sila runs to tell her friends what she had just heard. “I heard Volkan say now to my cousin, who will fight at the academy with her friends Kaan and Enes”. “That is great”. Ceren gets excited and holds Sila's hand smiling. Luna, on the other hand, closed her smile, because all she wanted the least was to be close to that handsome man. “I can't believe I'm going to have to see this man every day. “Forget that incident with Volkan. Who knows, maybe you'll become friends, Luna”? “After what happened on the day of the game, I find it kind of difficult”. “He didn't spill the sodas because he wanted Luna”. “I agree with Sila”. “Allah, Allah. Which friends are you”? “Girlfriends who know what they're saying. You and Volkan can become great friends yet”. “Ceren truth. Or who knows”... “Or maybe Sila”. “Why Luna? If he doesn't have a girlfriend, maybe the two of you don't get together”? “That was the most absurd thing you've ever said, S
Luna returns to her friends and Kaan approaches Volkan."It's a princess that Luna"."A hot-headed princess."“Are you two going to stand there at the bar, with the club full of girls to dance to’?“Enes is right”.Kaan drinks, I put the glass on the counter and asks a girl to dance.Volkan goes towards Luna, but a boy arrives before him and he decides to call Ceren.Ceren dances with Volkan, who doesn't take Luna and Luna's eyes off him."What's your name again"?“Ceren. I am Rabia's sister, don't you remember”?“Evet (Yes). Busy told me at the gym.”"Rabia and her brother have hooked up a few times." Volkan smiles, knowing how much of a womanizer Ferhat was.Ferhat lived life as if he didn't know about the Marriage Contract, which he didn't want to have with any girl.The subject of Marriage Contract was not discussed at his house, but Ferhat was aware of the agreement, but he hoped that his father would never enforce it."Yeah, I know. But it counts. Do you and your friends have a
At the breakfast table the next morning, Berat waits for his children to get up.“Günaydin papa (Good morning)”.“Günaydin Volkan."Ferhat still hasn't woken up"?“I already told you to wake him up.”Volkan starts helping himself to the table when his brother comes downstairs.“Günaydin Daddy. Gunaydin Volkan. Today is a beautiful day, don't you think?Ferhat pretends to ignore what happened, eating whatever he sees on the table.“Are you hungry huh?”Volkan looks at him in surprise."I didn't eat anything yesterday when I arrived.""It's exactly about yesterday that I want to talk to you about."Volkan raises the tea to his mouth without taking his eyes off his father.“What happened dad”?“There was that your brother keeps getting ready”."I? What did I do wrong".“Don't be cynical Ferhat, I saw the time you arrived yesterday. LATE AT NIGHT AND TOTALLY DRUNK”.Berat speaks loudly and Ferhat is startled."But it wasn't that late, Daddy."Ferhat smiles, trying to lighten the situation.
Nisa leaves the room and Luna, desperate, makes a video conference with her friends.“Hello, friends? I need your help".“What happened Luna”?Ceren question"What happened"?Sila says worried.“My father wants me to fulfill the “Marriage Contract”.They say together."What"?“My mother said that they are going to have a lunch here at home to formalize everything”.“And now Luna”?"I'm lost! They are going to make me marry girls.”“Calm down my friend, Sila and I will think of something”"You need to be quick, as my father intends to introduce me to my suitor soon."“What shall we do Ceren”?"I don't know yet, but let's think of something to help you Luna"."I wanna die'.Luna cries and her friends try to comfort her.“Don't say such a thing Luna. Let's figure it out, okay?""It's OK".“Who knows if you left the country”?"I don't know anyone outside of Türkiye, Ceren." Luna responds sadly."Let's think of something to calm down my friend"."For sure. Don't be sad. Sila, you don't know
Last chapter The plane departs and Volkan and Luna are now happily married in search of new dreams.“Mr. Pantaleo has already ordered a house for us.”“A new home, a new country, a new city. All this together with you my beloved”.Volkan takes her hand and kisses it.“I'll sign the Contract as soon as we arrive, then we'll continue on our honeymoon. It is OK my love"?"It's OK".“I'm sorry I had to act this way. Everything would have been different if your father had gone back.”"My father would never give up."Luna looks away from the window and wipes a falling tear.“No sadness in my life. I don't want you to suffer any longer remembering your father. He is well"?"He is well".Luna smiles again."Now it's just the two of us and the family that Allah will send us."“I love you Volkan”."I love you too. Very very very".Volkan speaks to Luna with his head very close to hers.“What will I do when you leave me home alone love? I don't know any Italian”."I'll teach you in my spare time
penultimate chapterKaan, Ceren exchanged kisses while waiting for the ceremony to take place.Marriage in Turkey goes through several stages, which are important for Turkish tradition.But Volkan was skipping them all by marrying Luna, without his family's consent.The wedding should be taking place under Islamic traditions, which involve a series of ceremonies and rituals.In the first place, Volkan's father should be asking her father for Luna's hand and he would need to give his permission for the two to become official fiancés.After the request, the groom drinks the traditional tea with salt, without making a face. Which means he's ready to face any kind of problem alongside her.Finally, the rings are exchanged and the red ribbon is cut by the mother of the bride, as a symbol of her leaving for her new home.In Luna's case, she was betrothed to Ferhat at a young age and when this happens in childhood, young people grow up knowing that one day they must marry.By defying and ign
Luna's eyes fill with tears.“That’s what I thought”...“That I would leave you? Never. Don't be silly."“You were saying that you are going to Italy”.“Evet (Yes) You come along”.“What are you two doing here alone, with such a beautiful party outside”?“We were already on our way back Mrs. Umay. Come Luna, let's go back to the party, later we'll talk about it”.Luna and Volkan return without hugging, staying close to their friends.Ahmet who was hugging her looks at the two asking.“When are you going to assume this relationship for everyone”?Kaan agrees with Ahmet“Your brother is right Luna. I think the time has come for everyone to know that you are together and that you are getting married soon.”Kaan takes Luna's hand and gives it to Volkan's hand, who turns her around, pulling her towards him as they begin a dance.The slow music, faces pressed together, words of love close to the ear, leaves some guests surprised and Efé furious."The two want to provoke me Nisa".“You know
Efé and Nisa ring the bell at Sarila's house to ask for Ella's hand for their son Ahmet.Sarila opens the door and is surprised to see the two of them."You? Efé and Nisa in my house? What they want"?“Talking about our kids. We need to resolve this shameful situation that both have put us in.”"I can imagine what a shameful matter this is."“This matter cannot be dealt with here at the Sarila door. Enough of the scandals. Do not you think"?Sarila then agrees with Nisa nodding her head.“Evet (Yes). You're absolutely right. Please come in. Sit down.”“Spare us from talking about the details of everything that happened again, because Ahmet already told us everything in our house, in the smallest details”.“Your son is really shameless”."Not only is Ahmet shameless, but so is his daughter."“Ella was seduced by her son Ahmet and I am sure of that Efé”.“Stop it you two. We need to talk and not fight. Our children made a mistake, but now it is up to us to correct the error”.“Nisa is r
Volkan and Luna visit Busy who finally came out of the coma without sequelae.“Merhabah (hello) Busy”.“What a surprise to see you two. Come in, please, Luna.”Volkan and Luna approach Busy's bed.“We stopped by, just to see how you are.”Busy smiles and they hug her at the same time."Thanks for being here and worrying about me."“I asked Allah every day, so that he would let you live Busy”.Emotional Busy cries."Forgive me what I did to you."Now yes, Busy is speaking sincerely from the heart."I think we've already done that at home."“Evet (Yes) Only that time I was forced by my mother, but now it's different and I need to hear from you again, that you forgive me”.Volkan and Luna look at each other smiling.“There is nothing to forgive Busy for. Just move on and be happy. In fact, I want you to be as happy as I am with her.”Erkin knocks on the door with a bunch of flowers."Excuse me".“This one loves to give flowers.”Luna looks at Volkan.“Volkan”.“Leave him Luna. Volkan the
I'll be waiting for Ferhat at the bar drinking whiskey."So you talked to her"?Ferhat motions for the waiter to bring him one too."We finished everything and I sent her away as per her suggestion.""You did well Ferhat. That woman working at the company would only bring you problems in the future"."Evet (Yes) Do you believe she wanted to continue in a relationship with my lover"?"Didn't I tell you? I knew she would propose something similar to you.""There's no way I would go along with that. Especially with Mr. Murat working in there. Can you imagine what a mess that wouldn't be?""It's not just for that Ferhat, soon you will be a new CEO, married and family man. If you continue to remain a mistress in the company, it would be a full plate for the competition."I couldn't throw down the drain the name of the company that our father worked so hard to create and grow""Glad you woke up in time.""Don't worry, we won't have any problems with that.""To guarantee tomorrow you have a
Umay despairs and the assailant also points a gun at her.Duru does not allow him to fire again. "You are crazy? Why did you shoot?”"She threw a pitcher at you Parsa.""But you didn't have to shoot the girl you idiot"Umay cries hugging Busy.“My daughter. Help-me. My daughter is dying”Security guards in the kitchen hear the shot and Umay's screams and appear in the room armed."Put down your weapons or she dies."Burglar puts gun to Umay's head and Volkan orders them not to shoot.“Put Down Your Weapons” "Let's get out of here soon.""Let them out."The two try to leave the house, Duru pulls Luna again."You come with me"."No, she won't."Volkan doesn't allow it, but Duru points a gun at him."He wants to die disgraced"."Volkan no".Duru pulls her out of Volkan's arms again.“I'm not afraid of dying a bastard. He lets go of her arm now, otherwise he wants me to kill you”“I am going to kill you”.“Kill this guy soon Parsa”.Erkin breaks into the house with his men overpowering
Ferhat cries at Rabia's feet.“Forgive me, I know I made a mistake”.Rabia turns her back, he gets up and they face each other.“You were a jerk”."You're right, I've been a jerk my whole life, but that's because I didn't know that a feeling like that could exist.""Feeling"?Without understanding Rabia looks into his eyes and as Ferhat speaks, his tears continue to fall.“Yes a feeling. So big, but so big, that it leaves me vulnerable and unable to bear being despised by the woman I was born to live my whole life. I love you Rabia”.Rabia gives a sob from a contained cry, approaches Ferhat and kisses him desperately.Murat arrives at the door and stops Merve who was right behind.“Thanks to Allah, they understood each other Murat”.“Come on, let’s go out without them seeing us”Merve smiles happily."I'm not holding up with so much happiness".“Neither do I Merve. Start preparing everything for the wedding of the two my dear”.“You can leave my husband with me”.Murat leaves and Cere
Umay enters the room where Berat was already lying down reading a book."Too late dear.""I was assured that Busy did exactly what I told him to do.""What did you tell her to do"?"Ask Volkan and Luna for forgiveness for sure""You didn't have to do that Umay"."I really needed Berat, I didn't wait nine months to give birth to an evil daughter. Busy got really mad with this whole story"."Yeah, she overdid it a little bit.""Did she overreact a bit? Asking a friend to bring a snake into her house is overreacting a bit, Berat?"Berat smiles as he remembers what Busy did."I have to admit, I didn't expect your daughter to have ideas like that.""That was the biggest recklessness that she has committed in her life up to this day and that she is sure she will not commit again"."After the beating you gave her, I'm sure not.""You might not believe it, but the spanking I gave her hurt more than her."Berat pulls Umay and she touches her head on her shoulder."I can imagine how you felt ab
