"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 marriage among so many that happen in Türkiye.
To be contractually bound to a man she'd never seen and who just thinking about it made her desperate.
As soon as she became a teenager her mother told her about the contract made by her father and Luna grew up knowing that she could never let a man, who was not promised to her, get close to her.
Though her parents trusted Luna, they kept her on a tight leash.
Efé was an extremely traditional man and he was looking forward to the contract between him and Berat, the man he had saved from the accident, fulfilled.
In the Luna car, still under the impact of having seen Volkan again, she mutters words leaving the driver without understanding.
“What does he think I am”?
“Did you say something sister”?
Luna realizes she's talking to herself.
“Not nothing. This is where I will stay.”
After paying for the taxi, Luna gets out at the same time that Volkan parks and sees where she had just entered.
“Istanbul Dance Academy”.
Volkan smiles, knowing the academy.
"She must do dancing."
To Volkan's coincidence, this was also Busy's family academy.
After putting the car in a parking spot, Volkan takes out his cell phone.
“Hello Busy”?
“Volkan? Is it you”?
“I'm in front of your gym, are you in it”?
Luna enters and Ceren meets her at the door.
“Günaydin (Good morning).
“Günaydin”
"It took time Luna".
“Sorry Sila. I took a transit from my house to here”.
Luna wasn't used to being late, but whenever something unexpected happened, her friends, Ceren and Sila had her covered.
Ceren was a dance student and that's how she met Luna. Sila was a teacher like Luna, with one difference: She was Busy's cousin.
“I go to my class. We'll talk girls later."
As soon as Luna enters the class, she apologizes for being late.
“Sorry I'm late girls. But let's get started."
Luna turns on the stereo and Ceren watches her thoughtfully.
“Let's start the choreography again”?
– Evet (Yes). But first let's stretch and warm up.
Luna starts the choreography dancing and teaching her class new steps, when she sees Volkan entering the academy through the glass of the room.
"A moment girls".
Luna leaves the room heading towards Volkan.
"It's not possible. What did you come here for?"
“I could have hitchhiked and saved money on the taxi”.
Volkan jokes smiling.
"I don't get into a stranger's car, I already said it".
"We're not that unknown, or did you forget you met me at the benefit game"?
“I haven't forgotten anything at all. Now answer me. What did you come here for?"
“This gym belongs to my friend Busy. By the way, look at her coming over there”.
“Merhaba Volkan (Hello). What miracle is this?”
Not believing that the man she was trying to approach was right there in front of her, Busy hugs him tightly, but Volkan doesn't take his eyes off Luna, who returns to the room without understanding, continuing her class.
“I'm looking for a gym for me and my friends. I'm a little out of shape."
“Don't talk nonsense. You are the fittest guy I know.”
Busy strokes Volkan's abdomen, leaving Luna furious inside the room.
“Thanks Busy, but I need a professional follow-up.”
“It's always really good Volkan. Come on, let's go to my room."
Volkan watches Luna dance across Busy's glass room and can't help but make a comment.
“Dance well that girl”.
"Who? Luna. The one in the middle”?
Volkan, who didn't know her name until then, smiles and turns to look at Luna again.
"So she's called Luna."
He whispers to himself.
"What did you say"?
"Not the one on the left."
Busy looks at the girl on the left with disdain, as she was in love with Volkan for a long time and didn't want the handsome guy to have eyes for any girl other than her.
“There is one of the students at the academy. Professor Luna is training her for the academy's annual presentation."
"And even? There will be a presentation then”?
“Evet (yes) But Volkan where have you been, that I can't communicate with you? He doesn't answer my messages."
"I've been having a lot of Busy work".
“I heard you and your friends had a charity basketball game. How it was"?
"And truth. So Busy some time ago I left the courts to dedicate myself to my father's companies”.
“What a shame. I loved watching you play.”
"I've always loved basketball, but I had to make a choice."
“That's one of the things that draws me to you. That's your firm way of handling things."
Taking advantage of Volkan's distraction, she puts her arms around his neck, which he then subtly pulls away from her.
“Let's take it easy Busy. We are friends, no more.”
“Yes friends, but we can move on from this at any time”.
“Not depending on me Busy”.
"What happened between us, it didn't matter to you"?
"What happened between us was a consequence of too much alcohol and it won't happen again."
Busy turns away and talks upset.
"I think I was a fool, thinking I had conquered Volkan Erdogan."
Volkan looks at Luna training once more, inside that jumpsuit glued to her body, making her beautiful curves evident.
A series of thoughts ran through Volkan's head now.
“Did she have a boyfriend”?
“Or worse, did she have a husband?”
Busy kept talking about the times she'd lived with Volkan, but he didn't pay attention to a single word that came out of her mouth.
Volkan's attention was all on Luna, on performing the choreography she was teaching.
Every delicate gesture of her hands made Volkan aroused, not sexually, but in the sense of arousal from knowing a little more about her.
Listening to Busy reminisce about something that was of no importance to him was irritating Volkan, who wanted to get out of there.
“Let's forget about this Busy thing. Let's be serious now. Me and my friends want to do boxing and other sports too”.
“You have come to the right place Volkan”.
“Then sign up for me. I want to start this week.”
That was Volkan's way of getting Busy to shut up.
Smiling Busy opens the drawer, takes a pen and a contract inside the folder.
“I already have some contracts printed here in the drawer. All you have to do is subscribe to Volkan”.
"I'll do that after I've read it."
"My parents will be happy to know that Volkan Erdogan has enrolled in our academy."
"Thanks".
After Buse hands the contract over, Volkan reads it over for a few minutes and signs.
"Ready".
“I am very happy Volkan. We will see each other constantly”.
Volkan looks through the glass Luna dancing.
“Evet (Yes). I will see her constantly”.
Volkan speaks, but referring to Luna and not Busy.
Luna turns off the sound and says goodbye to the girls.
"Until next class girls."
The students respond.
"Gule Luna (Bye Luna)".
"Let's go"?
"Only a moment"
Ceren approaches and Sila arrives at the door.
“I finished too”.
“Did you see Volkan in Busy's room”?
“Evet (Yes). What does he do around here? I've never seen you at the academy before, Ceren."
“Neither is Sila.”
"I hope it doesn't come again".
Walking through the gym, Busy shows Volkan the place where he and Luna will be boxing.
“Hello Kan? I think I found a great place for us to practice wrestling.”
“Where are you Volkan”?
“At Busy's gym and guess who I met on my way to the company”?
Volkan tells his friend Kaan what happened.
“It seems that fate is trying to tell you something. First there was a bump you ran into this girl on stage, spilling sodas all over her dress. Then a new encounter with her at the traffic light and finally another at the gym. I do not know."
“What do you mean by that Kaan”?
"That by accident, you may have found the woman of your life".
Volkan cracks a smile, as chances are his friend is right and he and Luna are destined for each other.
Although for Volkan he was not looking for love, he had found it himself.
What Volkan didn't know was the huge problem he would have with Busy, since she said she was in love with him, since his last birthday party, where the two spent the night together.
This night became unforgettable for Busy and could become an obsession.
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
Volkan and Luna talk as they exit the elevator."Come on Volkan, you can talk I'm listening".“I'll be quick. I'm thinking of helping the children's cancer hospital. I thought I'd ask for your help."Luna is interested in the subject and Volkan sees his enthusiasm."How can I help you"?“I thought of a dance performance.”“What is your idea Volkan”?"A performance like the one you're rehearsing with the girls at the gym."As soon as Volkan saw Luna dancing, he was even more enchanted with her.The way Luna moved her body, her steps firm and at the same time delicate, had impressed him.He had never seen a girl dance so well and if he did, she wasn't like Luna, who showed sensitivity in what she did.Every gesture, every movement made a difference if they were done by her.“I have a beautiful children's choreography that we could use”."It would be a tremendous success, not to mention that many people would sympathize with the situation of children with cancer."They chatted like old fr
The next day Volkan calls Busy and together they have lunch at Efé and Nisa's restaurant.Efé and Nisa talk in the kitchen about the possibility that the girl who accompanied Volkan is his girlfriend.“Is that couple well served”?"Yes sir. I'll bring the dessert you ordered.""Do it"."It seems that Efé's son really liked our food"."Looks like he came with his girlfriend.""Makes a very cute couple""I can't wait for our Luna to be like this with her betrothed too"."Luna is not very enthusiastic about the idea of getting married""Well, she's the one trying to stay"."I don't think we did well to let Luna grow up without knowing the boy.""It wasn't our fault, Nisa. In addition to dating close to Berat, the boys even went to study in America, just returning from there a short time ago and you know that"."Both must be very cultured boys, isn't it Efé"?"Certainly Nisa."“Wow, what delicious food”."Didn't I tell you"?“But yes Volkan, tell me what you have to say”."I need a favor
Not wanting to force a situation, Volkan pulls away and Luna takes a deep breath.The feeling that both of them had known so little was very good, but Luna's reality was another that Volkan still didn't know.“I'd like to take you to the hospital so you can meet the kids before you start putting on a show. What do you think"?"I would love".“Could it be next week’?Volkan drove trying to focus on the road, but it was impossible from time to time not to look at her."When you want".Luna looks away when she sees Volkan staring at her.What power that man had over her. Luna wondered inside."I'll see the day then, I'll tell you later".“Volkan I live on the next street on the right”."That"?“Evet (yes). In this building that has the square”.Volkan observes the building, the square containing a beautiful garden, children running around toys, old men playing chess and he likes what he sees.“It is delivered”."Thanks".“Is this square always like this”?"Like this"?"People seem happy h
Volkan was still processing what Ferhat had said, when his father entered the room.“Is your brother leaving”?“Who else dad? Himself"."I didn't see the car, so I thought it might be one of your friends Kaan or Enes."“It wasn't him and I'll say more: You'll have a little problem with Ferhat, he's not going to change overnight”.“At some point your brother will have to rethink his life and make changes, otherwise I will disown him”."Deserting him will not make him a better father.""Oh will do without Volkan, when he doesn't have my money to spend on his orgies, he'll have to get back on track."“Where did he go this time”?"Looks like he went out with Rabia."“Oh with Rabia”?“That's what he said. One more among many, deceived by Ferhat”.“I already did my role, which was to warn Murat that I will enforce the Marriage Contract at all costs”.“Well, if he is already warned, he will have nothing to complain about, when his daughter goes to cry in her lap for Ferhat”"I hope it doesn't
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
