How do you know I don't like mashed potatoes?
I have no idea.
I don't like them, so I didn't think you would either.
They're not like French fries.
Here are your fries. Enjoy.
Come back soon.
Aras, are you okay?
I'm fine.
Have you remembered something new?
No. Well...
sometimes I remember things, but they're not important.
The more time goes by,
the more I think I lived abroad.
Doesn't matter.
Is Ali in his room?
Yes, he locked himself in.
What's going on?
Did Ali talk to you?
He always talks to me about everything.
What's wrong with that?
You pit him against Aras and now he hates us, of course.
I didn't do that.
I mean, he heard what the man did and was worried about you.
After all, Ali is right.
Plus, as his father,
I have a right to talk about his concerns.
You told him that Aras violently attacked you.
Of course, because he did.
Volkan, we both know you threw the first punch,
and we both know you provoked Aras.
I know how you are.
Yes, you know me very well,
but you prefer to believe someone you don't know at all.
Do you see the contradiction?
Look, you came here today and told me you wanted to separate
a baby from her mother,
and then I found out you poisoned your son's mind
with ridiculous ideas.
Volkan, you're hurting your children.
Ali left early this morning and said he had practice,
but he really went to confront Aras like a maniac.
Really?
Well, I think he's just trying to protect you.
That means you've been acting thoughtlessly,
and your son is...
Protecting me? Don't be stupid!
He's my son.
What's he going to protect me from?
Asya, Ali is becoming a man.
When you were dying, he also confronted me.
Ali loves you so much, and he worries about you.
And you don't listen to your son.
The boy is right. I have the same concerns.
You're blinded by that man, though.
You're not worried.
You're very sick, Volkan.
You can't stand that I'm with someone who isn't you.
That man isn't trustworthy.
Aras isn't the problem.
You are, Volkan.
Why is Ali worried?
Because you're putting ideas in his head.
You've been manipulating him
and imposing your ridiculous ideas on him.
You're keeping him from thinking on his own
and making his own decisions.
Why?
Because the possibility of me being with another man
is driving you crazy.
That's right.
What did you think would happen?
That while you were living the life you wanted,
I was going to spend my life alone?
That you could do everything you wanted
while I stayed put, right?
And sure, I'm a mother. I know that.
But you're also a father.
Volkan, while we were married,
you had an affair with another woman for two years.
I'm just giving a man a chance.
It's my first attempt at a relationship
after being divorced for two years.
Can't I have that? Seriously?
It's not the same.
How could you like someone you know nothing about?
That's ridiculous.
Well, I like him.
What did you know about Derin? How long did you know her?
Fine, I made a mistake, the biggest one of my life,
but I'm trying to make up for it,
and I'm also trying to keep you from making
a bigger mistake than mine.
The price for that is very high.
You didn't make a mistake. You made a decision.
Just because you think your decision
was a mistake, it doesn't give you the right to keep me
from living my life.
And by the way, we all make mistakes.
It's normal, we're human.
I'll make them, Ali will make them.
We'll make mistakes as long as we're alive.
I want to keep living my way.
My life isn't a video game.
You may play with Ali, but not with me.
My life is completely separate from yours.
I keep contact with you
and I don't mind you coming to see your son
because I'm understanding, but you're the past
and I don't care about you anymore.
Don't overstep your boundaries.
Asya, I'd have to let you go forever
to do what you're saying.
You'll never be out of my life, though.
Never.
Aras?
I'm going to see you if you have time.
Yes, Leyla?
Derin, I just want to ask you something.
Is Aras in Tekirdag?
How would I know?
Did something happen?
I don't know.
You may have seen him
and that's why you called me after years.
No, I don't know anything.
I haven't seen him. Why?
Is he supposed to be here for business?
Oh, Leyla, Zeynep is crying. I have to go.
Sorry, I'll call you later, okay?
Kisses.
Where did you come from?
Why'd I try to call you? You came out of nowhere.
Are you okay?
I don't know. I'm trying to be.
I'm really upset with Volkan and Ali.
They're trying to control me.
Because I won't stop seeing you.
This is because of me, isn't it?
Yes, of course it's because of you.
But believe me, it's not personal.
If you were someone else, the same thing would happen.
He said, "Be careful, Asya. Wake up, Asya."
As if I couldn't decide how to live my own life.
I was expecting all of this,
but when it happened, it was hard not to worry.
Relax.
It's true.
What can I say?
You're right, but you should know I care about both you
and Ali.
I won't blame myself, though.
I won't.
I won't blame myself for causing you this pain
because my love for you is harmless.
I swear it's harmless.
I love you.
I love you so much, Asya.
I love you.
Isn't it beautiful?
And I don't think I need to have known you for years.
I don't have to pretend or exaggerate.
I don't need any of those stupid tricks.
I truly love you.
Come.
I...
It doesn't matter.
Don't say a word. Just trust me.
Hold my hand tight and stay by my side.
That'll be enough.
Come back to me always.
Just do that.
