You know how, after you make up with your partner,
you get that euphoric feeling?
You go on a weekend get-away.
You choose to forget your problems, pretend they've vanished.
And whenever you get back something that you lost earlier,
you often fall for a false sense of hope.
Good morning.
Morning...
most beautiful woman alive.
Good morning, sweet love of my life.
What if we did something today?
Like?
Can we spend the day... acting like...
- Hm? -
Acting like one of those lovey-dovey couples?
You've got yourself a deal.
We'll get up, and we'll go out for a little while, and then...
- Hm? - ...I'll yell, "That's my man!"
Well, I'll have to yell something too.
- That's my woman! -
- Aktan, what are you doing? -
She's my girl!
However, life always has rules of its own.
For example, we get buried under everything we ignore,
- and everything we hide. -
WE'LL BE FINE
That felt good.
- Oh, yeah. I almost dozed off. - Mm-hm.
- Oh, sorry. - Excuse me.
Are you happy we're here?
Yeah, I am.
That was nice.
So, when are we gonna start?
When we get back?
Being open.
What?
When are we gonna start the open relationship?
- -
- Uh... - You're kidding.
You don't really want that.
Aktan, we discussed it.
Don't be ridiculous.
- We had a deal, and you agreed to it. -
Oh my God.
Is that why you brought me to this spa?
You thought you'd distract me for a little while,
and I would forget about everything?
What are you saying?
I didn't think that you were being serious.
- Aktan. - Hm?
- My one condition for you. - Hm.
It's why we're back together, you agreed to it.
I never agreed to some kinda condition.
What are you even trying to say? That never happened.
What is this?
You kidding?
So first, you go out and cheat, and then you gaslight me.
You're like a child, I swear to God.
Why're you talking about cheating?
How was that wrong? You and I weren't even together back then, Lal.
Doesn't make sense to me.
- Jeez. Fuck this shit, I'm leaving! - What are you...
- What's your deal, Aktan? - You're my deal! What's yours?
This whole open relationship thing is crazy! What is going on with you?
God, you drive me insane.
You're seriously acting like it's the first time I've told you.
You don't get it. You can say it over and over, it's not happening.
I'm not about to share you with people, alright? Fuck that! Stop doing this!
Right, but I shared you with Hare, didn't I?
Lal...
I apologized to you. I did everything I could do. Why are you doing this?
Why can't you just drop it?
You'll keep doing it.
- What're you trying to tell me? - You'll keep doing this to me.
I know you. I know your patterns.
You know I feel guilty about it. I said before that I'm...
How long will this go on? Why won't you trust me?
Have you given me a reason to trust you?
I know you're gonna do this again
the moment your ego gets wounded or whenever you start to feel inadequate--
Know what? Just leave me then! You drive me insane!
Go!
Stop talking like an idiot and do it! If you're so tough, do it! Be my guest!
Go ahead! Break up with me!
- Keep your voices down please? Let go. - Wait sorry, Would you listen to me?
- Stop. Get outta my way. Don't touch me. - Okay, wait. Just hold on one second.
- I said, stop. Just let me go. - Please. I lost my cool for a minute.
- I'm sorry about that. Give me a second. - Get outta my way! Let go of my arm!
Hey, stop! I can't leave you! What's so hard to understand?
I am so in love with you.
How are you not able to get that?
Well, I love you, too.
- -
I really don't understand it, but I still love you somehow.
But unlike you, I can't tell you to just get out of my life.
I want you to hear me...
cuz I love you, Aktan, and I hate that I do.
I hate loving you. And I hate myself for loving you.
I can't leave now.
But one day, I know I'll be strong enough to.
Why was it, do you think, that Lal insisted
on having an open relationship?
- It was fear. -
She had lost so much control, and she was aware of it.
She was trying to get back the control she had.
Of course she was. That's exactly it.
Yeah, she wanted him to do something for her
that he'd never have wanted to do otherwise. Hm.
She couldn't control herself, so she was hoping to control Aktan.
- Is that right? - I would definitely say that.
She was not the kind of girl who would ever want something that's open, right?
Think she'd be able to deal with that?
Aktan was definitely the only one she really wanted, no one else.
And when did Lal come to the realization
that she didn't actually want an open relationship?
After it was too late.
Isn't that always the case?
Good evening. May your love last forever.
How come we ended up alone?
- -
- -
Oof.
Yeah, so funny.
That was something that... was already set up.
Hm.
How was I supposed to know that...
that we were gonna go through that?
That you would bring it up?
Why are we doing this?
Why do you want someone else instead of me?
Because you did it.
I think it would be fair.
It makes things even for us two.
You wanna punish me for everything?
Okay you're right. But I apologized to you a million times.
You don't really wanna do this, do you? Really?
Lal, I won't be able to.
And neither will you. I'll kill someone.
We are all capable of anything, Aktan.
- I learned that from you, unfortunately. - I don't want it.
It was me who didn't want it, Aktan.
I was right here. I was yours, 100%
Then you had to go out and ruin it.
You broke everything. You threw it all away.
Why am I the one always having to forgive?
Why are you always allowed to get away with everything, Aktan?
Do you think that's fair?
Lal couldn't get over being cheated on.
She couldn't forgive Aktan, but she couldn't leave him either.
The things she read in those messages,
they kept her up at night.
Aktan had gone to Hare the very night they broke up.
They were together for a few months.
How would Lal have known?
She even went as far as to apologize to Hare.
She felt like a complete idiot.
Aktan was in bed with Hare,
while Lal was crying at home.
She couldn't get over it.
Something had to happen.
But what?
Fortunately, the universe didn't wait too long to give an answer.
Surprise!
How great is this?
Oh, what is this?
- Kubi, you scared me to death. - You'll survive.
What are we celebrating, Miss Yelda?
You'll find out soon enough. Don't you worry, Lal,
but for now champagne, okay?
- -
London? Wow!
- Mm-hm. -
Exactly, honey. Start with a small office.
We'll focus on art publications first.
Ah. Wait, look at this.
Give me a second here.
- Wonderful. - I rented a little spot over in Chelsea.
What do you think?
Oh, I love it. It's beautiful.
Is this a real building?
It's like out of a fairy tale.
It's a small place, honey.
Don't go crazy. I wanna give it a shot first. We'll play it safe.
- And... - That's great.
