One, two, three, four...
I'm not mature enough to learn from my mistakes.
We'll play along or I won't fall for you.
Kiraz!
How can a little girl come here alone? Even I would be afraid to come alone.
I don't know, maybe she came to gather blackberries.
Engin, I think I should've stayed with Eda. She is very distressed.
Of course. The girl vanished under his noses. They must feel awful.
Are you blaming Eda?
- Mom... - Wait, honey. Because...
Mom, I have something important to tell you.
Hold on, honey.
Are you blaming Eda? Because it looks like it.
Because, to be fair, Serkan should also be blamed.
No, but...
No buts. I'll remind you that last year you lost Can in the park.
That was different. Why are you coming out with that now?
What's this all about? It has nothing to do with anything.
Dad, I have something important to tell you.
Okay, son, tell me.
Yes, Engin, that was different because it was your fault.
You lost Can because you were asking Mrs. Sehra for a dessert recipe.
Piril, you know that dessert is my weakness.
Dad, please, I have to tell you a secret.
Easy, son, we'll talk about it later.
I wasn't going to lose the chance to ask an Albanian woman for the recipe.
Bravo! You always have an excuse for everything.
We should look for Kiraz separately instead of fighting. What do you think?
We would be more efficient.
Well, yes, there's no point. I'm going back to the hotel with Can.
But we'll talk later.
- Whenever you want. - Later. Come on, honey.
Kiraz!
I'm going far away, Serkan Bolat. Find me.
- Hi, Can. - Hello.
- Are you okay? - Yes.
- They're all looking for Kiraz. - I know.
- She's your friend, isn't she? - Yes.
Why aren't you looking for her? Aren't you worried?
Not really, no. Kiraz will be back very soon.
I guess you know where Kiraz is.
Yes, I know.
She went to look for her dad.
How is she gonna look for him?
She asked me to write a note
and she went to send it to her daddy to come to her birthday.
How is she going to send it to him?
Her dad is an astronaut.
- So she went to a high place. - Yes.
You're amazing. Thank you. High five.
Kiraz...
Serkan Bolat.
You found me.
What are you doing here alone?
I came to send my dad a note.
I tied it with the knot you taught me.
Let me see.
Kiraz, you can't come here alone. Everyone is worried sick.
I thought it was closer.
"Dad, today is my birthday."
Is it really your birthday?
Here you go.
You think my dad will get it?
I'm sure he will.
Come, let's go back.
- Any news? - No one has seen her.
- Where's my daughter? - Easy, easy.
We searched the forest.
- I'm so anguished. - Where could she have gone?
I'm going to go crazy.
Kiraz is here!
My child! Come here, my baby girl.
Oh, Kiraz! Where were you?
I went to send my dad a note from the hill, reminding him my birthday.
And how did you get back from there?
Serkan Bolat brought me in his car.
He brought you? And where is Serkan?
I don't know. He just left me here. He's not coming.
It doesn't matter, sweetie.
Look how many people came to your birthday party.
Yeah. And I made you a really big cake
decorated with many stars.
Yes.
Well, let's go to the party. It's this way.
Don't listen to her, the party is here.
- No, it's on this side. - No, it's here.
Enough both of you! Or I'll tear down both parties.
You know what? Let Kiraz decide. Kiraz, Kiraz...
Yes! She made her choice.
- We'll stay here. - Yes, we're on our way.
Melo, give her to me. Come, sweetie, let's go change.
We'll be waiting for you.
Well, Engin, you can come to our side if you want.
And, Piril, you stay on that side because you're still a little confused.
- Don't say that. - It's the truth.
Can't she shut up? She's crazy.
Shame on Mrs. Aydan.
Yes, Eda is my friend.
- You hear her, Seyfi? - Mrs. Aydan, let's enjoy the party.
- I'm gonna kill her. - Enough.
If I turn this way, would I be on your side?
- Go away. - Go to the other side.
Please, Erdem.
- Which side is he on? - Who cares?
Mrs. Aydan, good afternoon. Hello, Kiraz.
Look, I brought you a present.
What is it?
Stilettos. You'll wear them when you grow up. They're always in fashion.
- What kind of gift is that? - That's her.
- You've gotta be kidding. - They're lovely.
- We'll keep them until you're 20. - What an odd gift.
Thank you, Mrs. Deniz.
And where is Mr. Serkan?
No. Serkan isn't here. He's not coming today.
Really? I feel I need some fresh air.
Better go get some air.
Good idea. Bye.
- Bye-bye. - Time to blow out the candles.
- Start with our cake. - No, with this one.
If they do this for a birthday party, I wonder what they'll do for a wedding.
I'm sorry.
I'm gonna wait for my daddy to come to blow out the candles.
Well, Kiraz is a little sad, let's be comprehensible.
Who's this comprehensible gentleman?
- Buba. - Buba?
Buba, Dada, Mimi, Fifi, Melo...
What planet do they live on? No normal name?
Well, let's blow out the candles.
Without my daddy I won't blow them out.
Sweetie, I told you that daddy can't come.
If he could, he would come, but he can't.
Many people who love you are here with you. Come on, blow out the candles.
Yes! Look what a beautiful cake I made for you.
Here, have a lemon star. You're going to love it.
- Try it, baby. - You're going to like it.
I don't want to! I don't want to!
Dad?
Happy birthday, my love.
Serkan Bolat?
Kiraz...
Wait, Eda.
Let me talk to her.
Dad, today is my birthday.
Didn't he say he didn't want to take responsibility? Why did he come?
- Ayfer, come on. - You're right.
What happened? Maybe she got scared because of that weird costume.
If she doesn't accept him as an astronaut,
maybe she doesn't want Mr. Serkan as her dad.
I'm going with them. Serkan doesn't have much experience as a dad.
Engin, don't be silly. Leave them alone.
Dada...
I can't wait any longer. I'm going with them.
Oh! My head...
Kiraz...
- Why did you leave? - I came to say thank you.
Thank you for what?
Because I asked for my dad to be just like Serkan Bolat.
And why did you want your dad to be like Serkan Bolat?
Because you have many horses.
You too, Eda?
- I see. - Don't be upset.
- Very funny. - Don't be upset.
Yes, I have horses.
Well, let's go inside. A cake awaits us.
It's obvious who brought the best gift.
Yeah, Mrs. Deniz's stilettos are Kiraz's style.
Ayfer, I'm surprised at your sense of humor
in this sad moment.
Sorry, Aydan, but why are you sad?
We know you've been conspiring for years to separate Serkan from his daughter.
But that's all over now.
If you're looking for someone to blame,
take a look at your son.
My son came here today to show that he'll take care of his daughter.
From now on, nothing will ever be the same again, Ayfer.
- Seyfi! - Sure, it's time to call Seyfi.
Seyfi, tomorrow we're going furniture shopping
for my granddaughter's room.
Great!
I suggest you buy returnable furniture,
because if Kiraz doesn't like them, then you can exchange them for others.
By the way, Aydan, don't think I'm spiteful.
You can come and see your granddaughter whenever you want,
but in her room. Just so you know.
- I'm going to kill her. - Calm down, madam.
- Kemal. - I see I'm late.
Kemal, this is very urgent. How do we file for custody?
We have to introduce it today.
You cannot file a custody suit, only Serkan can.
Fill out the application and the rest is easy.
I'm hungry. I'm gonna eat something.
- Did you miss me? - A lot.
Only Serkan can do it?
Come on, let's go.
Let's eat cake!
- That's it! - Come here. Let's blow out the candles.
Light the candles.
- Come, stand in the middle. - I'm going to turn them on.
That's it.
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday, dear Kiraz
Happy Birthday to you
- Blow, blow. - Bravo!
- There you go! - That's it!
Bravo!
- Did you make a wish before you blew them? - He is my wish.
Oh, she's so sweet!
Shall we open the gifts?
Serkan Bolat, did you bring me a present too?
Well, Kiraz, I couldn't,
because I had a balloon in one hand and the helmet on the other,
but don't worry, because tomorrow...
I'm going to give you something very special.
Look, you have lots of gifts here. Open them.
Thank you.
This gift is from your grandmother.
From my grandmother?
I am your grandmother.
Serkan is my son.
Mom, I have a grandmother now.
Yes, you are very lucky.
The sweetest grandma in the world.
Eda...
Yes?
Since it's all out in the open now, we can take care of the registration.
Which registration?
So Kiraz can take her father's surname.
Can we talk to Serkan first? If he agrees, then yes.
He agrees. I will start the process as soon as possible.
It smells funny.
- Funny? - I think it's you.
- What smell? - Deception.
Come on, sweetie, the party's over. Let's go home.
Come here.
What?
What's the matter? The party's over.
- With both? - Both what? Come on, let's go.
Well, shall I take you home?
- In your two-seater car? - No, I have a family car now.
It's okay. Let's go.
But, Mom, I haven't shown Serkan Bolat my room.
Nor my photo collection of planets or my favorite toys.
Serkan Bolat can come tomorrow and you can make a cake together.
I want him to come tonight, please.
You should please the little one.
I'm not little anymore! I'm a big girl now, Serkan Bolat.
Yeah. Sorry, Kiraz. You're a big girl.
You should please the lady on her birthday.
I missed being part of the Three Musketeers.
Me too. We both did, right, ma'am?
Of course. How could I not miss you?
You know very well why I'm here, right?
You called me about work, and I came to help you.
Is this what it's come to? Really, Kemal?
You know what I mean.
Okay. I understood very well.
Sure, I'm sure there are many attractive girls after you. Right?
Girls in their 30s or 40s, or even younger.
You like girls in their 20s too, Kemal?
Stop it, madam! Don't upset Mr. Kemal.
Sure. Why would he be into me? I'm surrounded by problems.
While with the other girls it's all in good fun.
It's normal that he's not interested in me.
I know what you're doing.
Oh, yeah? Tell me, what am I doing?
The usual: you change the subject around to blame others.
- Admit I'm good at it. - Worthy of an Oscar.
Did you fake it?
Women have tactics.
Well, I believed you.
- You're so naive. - I'm a fool.
Come on in.
Mom...
why didn't you tell me that Serkan Bolat was my dad?
Good question.
Why didn't you tell me?
Well...
For starters, you had never seen me before, have you?
So this was a good opportunity to meet, to get to know each other,
to try to understand each other without prejudice.
I have learned many things about you.
For example, that you're allergic to strawberries like me.
I have an idea! Let's eat strawberries so we go together to the hospital.
- That's not a good idea. - It's not a good idea.
I was joking.
How old are you two?
Well...
- Aren't you going to show him your room? - Yeah. You want to see it?
Come on, let's go.
Sure, take me to see your room.
Is it upstairs?
No, not this one. I never want to see this toy again.
Tell me a story.
A story?
I'm not much of a storyteller. I don't know any.
Make one up, like the one about "The Cowardly Prince".
"The cowardly prince"?
It's just that mom says that princes are cowards.
She says that? I'm not surprised. Come here.
Right... That's it.
Once upon a time, in a place far away, there was a cowardly prince,
and that prince was very afraid to be loved.
Why?
Because, as the name says, he was a coward. You get it?
But what scared him the most...
was a princess.
Eventually, he met a beautiful princess
and loved her with all his heart.
That princess was the most beautiful,
the most loving...
and the best woman in the world.
Obviously, the two fell in love.
But then, as time went on,
the cowardly prince left the princess
because he feared that she would stop loving him.
And so he continued to travel the world.
And did he also go into space?
Yes, he also went into space,
but he could never get the princess off his mind.
Everywhere he looked, he saw the princess.
That's why he went back to look for her, but, of course,
the princess was angry at him. Very angry.
The prince thought and thought on how to get her back.
He didn't know what to do.
He had to convince her.
And then he came up with a great idea.
He thought that if he started working with the princess again,
she would end up loving him.
- What a silly idea. - Why?
Because he has to do something different.
You think so? Okay. I'll think about it.
Can you come wake me up tomorrow?
Well, I'd love to.
What are you going to do now?
Brush your teeth, put on your pajamas and I'll put you to bed.
Not today, because Buba is coming tonight.
Buba.
Well, Buba isn't here yet. Besides, it's too early.
I said I was going to bed early and he always comes.
He always comes?
Well...
How did it go?
All right, but...
she's waiting for Buba, and I don't know what to do.
- You don't have to do anything. - I can't do that?
What can you do?
Buba arrived.
Great! Get lost, Buba!
- Hello. - Welcome.
Thank you.
Serkan.
Burak.
I came to see Kiraz, but if she's busy, I can come later.
No, she's waiting for you and, you know, she won't sleep until you tuck her in.
I'll be right there.
If you want my opinion,
that Buba isn't needed here anymore,
because Kiraz already has a father, and her dad is here.
Therefore, Buba is unnecessary.
This has nothing to do with with you being her dad,
or that she loves Buba.
So don't meddle.
Meddle?
Don't worry. You were very clear when you said
that you don't want to come back to me ever again.
And though I love you, I will respect your decision.
If you don't want to be with me, that's fine.
Great. So don't try to win me over with fancy dinners or French fries.
I won't come back to you.
I don't care about that. You know what I care about?
Getting my daughter to love me while I still have the chance.
That's what you have to do.
- Exactly. - Exactly.
Tonight, I can sleep on the couch.
Forget it. You're going home.
- To Istanbul? - Yes, to Istanbul.
- Are you serious? - Yes.
Our daughter is a lot like me, maybe 90 percent.
She gets up at five in the morning.
Do you expect me to come at three in the morning?
Yeah, I don't mind.
Or stay at the hotel.
Mrs. Deniz will prepare the best room for you.
Eda, don't do this to me. You know well her intentions.
See you tomorrow, Serkan.
Great. That's great, Eda.
Engin, I need you to give me a parenting class. It's urgent.
Yes, Engin, parenting.
- Hello. - Why are you in such a hurry?
Can't your parenting wait until tomorrow?
No, it can't wait. There's someone to take me a big lead. I need to catch up.
Who?
That Duba or Buba. That stupid guy who's always in and out of Eda's house.
What has he done?
What has he done? He's created rituals with my daughter. Yes.
Every night, this Buba guy puts my daughter to bed.
- You don't say. - Yes.
His support has been appreciated but now he has to step aside.
The problem is that I'm not ready because I don't know anything about parenting.
Well, lucky for you, I'm a pro at parenting.
I'll tell you everything I know. Pay attention.
- Fatherhood is instinctive. - Yes.
When you have the child in your arms, you get excited, don't you?
But it's also a great responsibility.
Be on the lookout for: if she has a cold, if she eats, if she sleeps well,
how many times she's been to the bathroom...
Then there's the issue of nutrition. Very important.
Some children don't eat vegetables or hate broccoli.
For example, Can likes meat, so, what do I do?
I make him zucchini burgers, artichoke or broccoli,
I mix them with the meat, and he eats them.
Engin, the problem...
Desserts. Kids love them. What are you going to give Kiraz?
Something without refined sugar. What could it be? Date puree.
None of that works for me.
You misunderstood me. But it's my problem for asking you.
You don't know how to make date puree? Make her pancakes.
- Engin, forget it. - They're easy.
- Are you out of your mind? - I have a recipe for quince jelly...
- Engin, what are we talking about? - It's organic and very healthy.
I don't know why I asked you.
But they're healthy and nutritious.
You didn't have to walk me here.
Why not? You didn't expect me to be so gallant?
After "The Sorrows of Young Werther", I expect anything from you. I really do.
I am full of surprises. I'll go now.
Hey, it was very nice of you to walk me here.
Why?
I don't know. I don't really talk much,
but I feel good when I talk to you.
So much, I feel like telling you about my childhood memories.
How about if we meet tomorrow and you tell me your memories?
- Tomorrow? - Yeah. We can have dinner together.
Okay.
See you later.
- See you. - Goodbye.
This is unbelievable.
Hello, Serkan.
At last, I find you. I've been looking for you.
Were you with Kiraz? How did it go?
I guess it's okay.
Since you're going to take care of your daughter,
we must go one step further.
- What do you mean? - Ask for custody.
Are you talking about taking Eda's daughter away from her?
No, no. That's for the judge to decide, but it can be joint custody.
Forget it. I'd never do that to Eda.
Fine, forget custody, but you must register Kiraz with your last name.
Anything you do regarding Kiraz, we'll talk to Eda first.
I already talked to Eda at the party. She said it's okay if you agree.
All you have to do is sign these documents.
Are you sure?
From now on, we have to comply with Kiraz's expectations.
- That's it! Kiraz's expectations. - Yes. Why?
Mom, this is great. Sometimes you come up with great ideas...
When Seyfi is not near you, you are someone else.
- What happened? - You're a genius.
I don't get it. Sign, Serkan. Don't leave without signing.
Done.
Perfect, son. That's great. Couldn't be better.
Here we go.
What is gonna happen now?
You mean with Kiraz?
Serkan will get involved in her life and they'll build up a good relationship.
I would like to believe that it will all work out, but I don't trust him.
What else could happen?
Are you really so naive?
Have you lost your mind?
You think Aydan isn't going to do anything?
Of course not. She's already up to something.
She wants to register Kiraz as Serkan's daughter.
That's fine with me if he agrees.
Is that what she told you? I knew she would come up with something.
You're exaggerating.
Don't tell me I'm exaggerating.
I guarantee you that right now,
Seyfi and she are plotting some kind of a scam to take her away.
What are you doing? Oh! But don't play dumb.
We're looking at the trees.
- And the sun is delicious. - Divine.
I don't understand you.
Why are you so happy that Mr. Serkan signed this paper?
Because his signature will help us get custody.
Wasn't his signature to register his paternity?
That's what he thinks. Look.
Why did you do this?
If Mr. Serkan finds out, he'll tear us apart with his muscular arms.
I have nothing to do with this.
If it were up to Serkan, we would wait for the girl's high school graduation.
I can't wait that long.
What evil plan are you plotting?
Kemal, everything's ready. We can start the process right away.
And Serkan agrees to begin such a risky and complicated process against Eda?
What else can he do?
He's willing to risk everything to be reunited with his daughter.
He will do whatever it takes.
This time you'll win an Oscar.
Thank you.
I just hope Mr. Serkan doesn't give it to you.
Now that Ayfer left, tell me everything.
There are no more secrets, You must be relieved.
Yeah, but...
You don't look very happy.
I'm not.
Melo, I don't know what to do.
I don't know where Serkan fits into my life.
Everything is so uncertain, so grey.
- What do you mean by grey? - Grey.
- I see it red. - Why red?
Because when I see you two, I only see red, the color of fire.
I would like to have that.
You don't say.
It's all I think when I see the two of you.
Don't talk nonsense.
You're shaking. Put on my jacket.
Thank you.
What's going on?
What are you doing? Who are you?
What are you doing in my garden? Get out of here! Get out!
Eda, what are you doing? It's me! Don't hit me. Have you lost your mind?
- Serkan, what are you doing here? - What?
- What are you doing here at this hour? - Eda, are you kidding me?
You turn on the sprinklers and come outside with a stick?
- I thought you were a thief. - And this is what you would do?
- And what should I do? - Call the police!
Well, it didn't occur to me.
Eda, you're out of your mind.
What are you doing in my garden at this hour?
Kiraz asked me to wake her up.
- You're right. - Of course.
Well, let's go inside.
What a fool! You could've knocked on the door.
