Kızılcık Şerbeti

"Based on true events"

"Episode 21"

Why is everyone so silent?

Did you guys fight or something?

No, darling!

I hope we all keep living in joy and peace of mind

Amen!

There's no problem, I think that everyone's just tired

It's the seasonal sluggishness

Am I right, Pembe?

Pembe!

Sorry, I didn't hear that

I said that it's the seasonal sluggishness

Could be, I don't know you know best

Dear, will you pass me the salt

Dear!

The salt

I didn't hear you well, Dad

There's a problem with everyone's ears tonight

Don't you think that Doga's belly has got bigger suddenly

No, the size matches the period of pregnancy, I don't think it's too big

I told her that she might have twins

She didn't know that Uncle Omar and Uncle Bakir were twins

I told her that

Nilay, how are those things related?

Don't you know how sensitive this matter is to my father?

What's the problem with what I said? Is it a secret of some sort?

Anyway, darling why are we talking about it now?

In fact...

since there are twins in the family...

maybe I'll have twins too

Yes, darling that's a possibility as well

We have this gene in the family

I had two twin brothers, but...

sadly, we lost one of them to a car accident

- I'm so sorry for your loss - Thank you

Our family members live very closely to each other

and because the age gap between us was very big...

they weren't just my brothers I considered them my sons

and my late father was very attached to my late brother

So, not a year passed before my dad passed away with a heart attack

We're very hurt by what happened

It's very sad

If you have twins one of them will be named Bakir

If it's a boy we'll surely call him Bakir

No way, Father! He'll be called Abdullah

Isn't Metehan's compound name mean Bakir anyway?

Finally, Grandma fell asleep

OK, thank you, dear Chiman

- I'm going to my room then - Your father will pass by in a bit

You can stay to welcome him if you like

Really?

OK, then

Here he is

How handsome I look!

How lovely! You're meeting me at the door, huh?

That didn't happen even once while we were married

Mom's sleeping, I waited here so that you don't ring the bell

Get in, Chiman's here too

- Welcome, dear Dad! - Hello, little princess, what's up?

I'm fine, thank you but I must go to my room now

You know that Mrs. Kivilcim has me enrolled in the strictest school ever

Alright, then go!

- Good night, Dad! - Bye, good night

Get in

Alright

Go on now, make us some coffee

You probably still think that I'm your wife

May I say something, Kivilcim?

Your behavior gets everyone to run away from you

Alright, I know you're a working lady, but...

I mean, smile a little bit for me

Forgive me, Kayhan that side of me isn't meant for you

That's why you're all alone

You kept blaming me for years for our separation

but had you done your duties as a wife, we'd still be married

What do you mean by my duties? Can you reveal this knowledge to me?

For example, a woman should receive her husband with a smiling face

and welcome him home

then do whatever he asks her to do

- What else? - What else? That's it!

Then, let me tell you this, Kayhan

Do you know what a woman expects her husband to do for her?

She needs him to be a good father

If her husband is a good father she'll overlook all his flaws

because a woman needs a warm man who can protect her and keep her safe

Not for her sake but her children's

and I'm just like any other woman did you know that?

because a woman can't last on her own

but if she ever dies, she'll be assured that her kids won't go astray

I don't know if you get what I'm trying to say

- There we go again with lectures - You say that when you don't like it

Anyway, Kayhan, this isn't just about us

Doga's feeling very upset with the play Ecem's playing

- What play is that? - I mean her outfit

We all know that you forced her to do that, Kayhan

You really are jealous of our relationship

Kayhan, I told you that Doga's upset

Please, tell your fiancee to stop her act

that she's putting up to get on Pembe and Abdullah's good side, it's wrong

because the result will only harm our daughter

How strange! How will she get harmed?

Don't incite my daughter against me, Kivilcim

and don't try to show me as the bad father now

I'm thinking about my daughter, Kayhan

- Do you think I'd do that? - Yes, you would

- You'd lost your mind to loneliness - That's enough, Kayhan!

You always comment on me being alone, why do you care?

Listen, don't you get my daughter involved in your nasty schemes

If you make my daughter sad I'll make you sad, I mean it

You know, Kivilcim? I thought you had something important to say

Now I get that all you wanted was to see me again

- What? - Yes

Dear God! Anyway, I'm leaving now

For God's sake don't bother me with silly things again, Kivilcim

God! What's that?

"I'm close-by, I'm coming over"

God! What hit that woman?

She didn't even serve me coffee!

It's that man called Omar

What's he doing over here?

At this late hour at that!

There goes my nemesis

So, you're meeting that man in secret aren't you?

You'll see what I'll do to both of you

I'll get my son in law to my side and we'll see then

"Dear Doga, when's your next appointment with the doctor?

"In a few days, probably I have a reminder on my phone"

"I'll check it and let you know"

"but I can call Dr. Sezai and get a closer appointment if you like"

"What's wrong?"

"Is your doctor a man?"

I can't stand having another problem

I'll choose this lady doctor

Don't overthink that

In fact, my sister in law isn't that jealous, I mean not usually

She's thinking ill of my sister Alev and that's what bothers me the most

Speak to them, they also think a misunderstanding has happened

That's not my problem, Omar

I wish you heard the way Mrs. Pembe spoke to me

She said that people are different

Do you know how sad Doga will be to know how they speak of her aunt?

She won't, this will end somehow without her knowing

I hope so

God! How tough these things are

What do you mean?

Listen, Omar don't misunderstand me, please

but we're all suffering because of a mistake that Fatih and Doga made

Do you still think this marriage was a bad idea?

I thought you'd become more accepting of it, but...

I'm neglecting this truth for the happiness of my daughter only

but I told her that all of this will happen

Kivilcim, what you see as right might be wrong for Doga

Remember when you fell in love in the past

I thought I was in love

but we don't realize many things when we're young

When I think about it now

I know that love causes nothing but heartache

That's why, I'd never fallen in love

What about your husband?

I have no idea what's on his mind

The best way to describe our marriage is that it was a teenage mistake

if it wasn't it wouldn't have ended like that

Kivilcim, please forgive my curiosity

As far as I know, if you don't love the man whom you're with...

You can't marry them at all

My father died at a young age

and in seconds, my mother, sister and I were left out alone

and it was the beginning of a very rough time for us all

Mom has an old mindset

and thought that by being harsh she would raise us best

She'd say "I'll raise my daughters and be responsible for them"

and even forgot to show love to a certain amount

- So, you saw marriage as a salvation - Exactly

I thought it would mean freedom and joy

I thought it would be my safety zone

but when I experienced it I knew it wasn't

Darling, you got into the room early are you alright?

Yes, I'm fine

I booked a doctor's appointment tomorrow

- With Dr. Umran? - No

I neither wanted to go with your mom nor mine, to be honest

- OK - There's a doctor called Raihana

in the nearby hospital

- I'll go see her, what do you say? - Sure, darling

I'll tell Mom that

Fatih

Can we please go there alone?

I want us to be alone

It's a very private moment for both of us

and our mothers can come along in later appointments

I also chose a female doctor for you guys

My dear wife

I have a question

Ask away

A while ago at dinner

when we spoke about the baby's name

Everyone spoke their minds but me

Are we really...

naming the baby Abdullah if it's a boy?
