Gulizar - Episode 13
Hayriye: Tonight and this dinner has been a long time coming… my family is once together ….. Mehmet can now smile
Gulizar: Grandmother…. Before we sit… Mine and I need to have a conversation ….. just the two of us… Mine would you join me for a walk
Mine not knowing what to expect is encouraged by Fettah to accept the offer. As they begin to walk
Gulizar: Life is rather strange… We don't get to determine when we are born…. We don't know when we will die…..we don't get to pick who our parents are….. we don't get to choose who our siblings might be…. What we do get to choose is who we love. That first night I was brought to this farm I had to come to terms with all of these. The only comfort I received that night was from a gentle smile and compassionate words from Murat… When I looked into his eyes…. I knew my life could not continue without him in it. Life ….. fate … whatever it is brought him to me … when I needed him most. I'm telling you this….. so that you can understand me
Mine: I never thought you would ever look at me let alone talk to me
Gulizar: When you approached me talking to Murat….I thought you were a spoiled rich girl brat and I wasn't about to back down from you…. Though I was poor and no family to speak of …. I liked myself and who I was
Mine: By throwing temper tantrums … I always got what I thought I wanted…. I didn't know who I was or what I wanted….. Daddy… wanted me to be loved…. Mother …..wanted me to be socially accepted… Tugrul …could care less … Grandmother ….. wanted me to understand that everything is not what it appears…. So in some sense you were more fortunate….. you were allowed to understand yourself.
Gulizar: How different we are yet life made us sisters
Mine: Can we ever be real sisters…. Can you ever forgive me for what I did to you and Murat
Gulizar: Even if we were raised together wouldn't make us be peas in a pod…. But if we learn to talk to each other….. what happened happened…. Look at Tugrul… you were raised with him….. is this the same brother you knew
Mine: What has Suzy done to him….. Mother is beside herself … yet he is very happy and he really loves Suzy
Gulizar: Like I said life is strange… Suzy is so special….. yet life treated her without much kindness, she gave me all the love she had and very little was left for her….. until Tugrul
Mine: I have to ask… was there anything between you and Fettah
Gulizar: Let me answer your curiosity question like this…. Murat is the only man that has and will ever have me… Fettah was my brother, friend and my music partner and he will remain so
Mine: That should have been my first clue that Murat and I weren't destined for each other… I threw myself at him many times, but he would never reciprocate
Gulizar: You can't make anyone love you… how did you get Fettah to make a move… I know him well enough to know that you had to get it started
Mine: you do know him… After I kissed him with passion that I wanted to feel being loved ….. he took over and I'm so glad he did… he has turned into quit a lover
Gulizar: your not going to use him like you did Teksoy
Mine: you know about that
Gulizar: you forget…. Suzy is my mother….. How could you be with Teksoy… he was Serife's boy toy
Mine: I spent two years in therapy trying to figure myself out… Like you….. it took Fettah's kind words and compassionate understanding to help me realize there was more to me than I gave myself credit for
Gulizar: now that we are starting to gossip like sisters….. Is Fettah your one and only
Mine: I may have to be the one to ask him… why does he hesitate so
Gulizar: he had many brothers and sisters and he had to take turns for everything…. So that has made him who he is.
Mine: I have to ask another personal question… what was it like being pregnant…. Beste is so cute… she's become the new little princess
Gulizar: I didn't know I was pregnant… Mother Zemzem noticed the change in me and told Murat…. I was shocked that I didn't know… but when the two red stripes appeared…. I couldn't have been more happy….. Murat was thrilled especially in how we celebrated by making love.
Mine: I'm glad that we are sisters ….. I have so much more to learn from you… I think we better head back before grandmother sends the police looking for us
Gulizar: we have a remarkable grandmother….. do you believe she had a playground built for Beste and future grandchildren… you get the hint don't you
Mine: I really like the sex Fettah and I are having
Gulizar: Having a baby doesn't stop making love…. It makes it even more pleasurable
Gulizar and Mine walk back into the dining area showing everyone that they are sisters and have talked like sisters. Hayriye is very pleased
Hayriye: Fatos… start bringing out the meal
After diner Hayriye with Beste on her lap and Zemzem by her side….. looks to the peace and tranquility as her grandchildren have now come to experience. Mine then decides to act on her desire
Mine: Grandmother….. brother….. sister…. I have a special request to make…. Fettah ….. you know I'm a little crazy…. But I have come to love you very much… I know that you love me also…. So before we embarrass my family and yours with having a baby before marriage…. Will you marry me… I really want to be your wife.
Fettah did not expect this : Guli is this what you two talked about
Gulizar: Fettah….. are you going to answer my sister's proposal…. Just say yes….. before you get her upset with your constant hesitation.
Fettah: Mine…. My beloved….. I've wanted to ask from the first night we were together…. Yes I will marry you….. sooner rather than later.
Mine and Fettah kiss… Mine whispers in his ear: your sleeping in my room tonight
Hayriye: we will have the wedding hear… Mine….. Fettah… I will make all the arrangement.
Mine: Grandmother….. this time I want it simple and just the families, ours and Fettah's ….. make sure my mother understands my wishes.
Hayriye: it will be as you wish…. My grandchild
Tugrul and Suzy along with Murat and Gulzer wish Mine and Fettah best wishes
Suzy: baby that must have been some conversation the two of you had
Gulizar: it was ….. we can be a real family from here on out
After they put Beste to bed …..Gulizar could no longer hold back the announcement she was going to make to Murat
Gulizar: sweetheart….. love of my life….. I have to tell you something
Murat: What is it….. you've been a little anxious…..Did something happen that you've been afraid to tell me
Gulizar: Something did happen…. I was just waiting for the right time to tell you… We're going to have another baby
Murat: We are … how did we not know… even mom didn't notice this time
Gulizar: we've been so happy , maybe the glow didn't leave me…. However this time I knew….. I hope it's boy ….. who is as handsome and kind… like his father
Murat: I think this calls for a private celebration….. He picks up Gulizar and carries her to their bed
Gulizar: I can't get anymore pregnant than I already am… I love you so much.
The next morning as breakfast is being served Murat makes an announcement
Murat: last night I was given some very special news from my beautiful wife….. We are going to have another baby ….. our family is growing
Hayriye and Zemzem look to each other with satisfied smile….. Suzy rushes to Gulizar to hug and kiss her…. Fettah and Tugrul congratulate Murat….. While Mine waits to hug her sister
Mine: Why didn't you tell me last night
Gulizar: I needed to tell Murat first and I didn't want to spoil that unexpected announcement of yours
Mine: now I'm jealous
Gulizar: look at the fun you'll have making yours
Fatos after hearing the good news rushes back to the kitchen to let everyone hear it.
Sukriye: Madam Hayriye's wish is coming true … the house will once again have children's laughter
With all the announcements Hayriye has the one announcement she has wanted to make ever since she held Beste in her arms.
Hayriye: My grandchildren… I'm so thankful that you've come together as your individual families have now been formed…. My son's dying wish was this to be so… My wish has always been that my grandchildren be treated equally. Gulizar….. you rejected what was rightfully yours…. I cannot let that be…. You have done more for the Sepetci name and family than you can Imagine….. Tugrul wouldn't be the man that he is if not for your Suzy…Mine wouldn't have the love that she now has if not for your Fettah…. You brought more than you took…. Though your last name is Guney… you are a Sepetci and your inheritance is yours… I've kept it till this day and now it's yours and your family. I have one last wish…. Will you stay with me so that I can see these precious children grow while I still have time to do so. Murat grew up hear and became the man that he is….. let your children do the same….. This house…. These grounds belong to you
Gulizar: grandmother… I don't know what to say
Tuligar: say yes….. Grandmother is right you have given this family more than what was given to you… Mine and I grew up here, now it's your turn
Mine: sister, I've learned more from you in a single conversation than all the therapy I've gone threw….. Murat loves this place and you love Murat more than anything… When Fettah and I have children …. This is the only place we will bring them so they don't loose themselves with outside influences….. Just think you can build a recording studio and you and my future husband can once again do what you do best….. write and sing the songs the way you use to.
Gulizar: I never expected this… but such a decision has to be made with Murat's and Mother Zemzem's approval….. our stay this week will have a new meaning for us.
Candan unaware of what has transpired returns from her sisters and starts demanding why is this girl and her traitors husband in her house
Candan: Will someone give me an explanation as to when I leave this is allowed to happen
Hayriye: Candan how dare you raise your voice….. you have been a guest in this house based on my permission…
Candan: so you brought this girl who caused nothing but troubles to my children
Hayriye: what troubles ….. Tugral becomes the man he was always intended to be because of Suzy or is it that Mine will marry Fettah and be happy and loved ….. can it be Gulizar has given birth to the heirs of the Sepetci name and legacy….. choose your words carefully
Candan: What is happening here
Mine: Mother… let me explain….. my sister and I have reconciled … I asked Fettah to marry me and Gulizar will be having another baby in her new home that grandmother has given her along with her inheritance.
Candan: have you all gone mad
Hayriye: Candan…. It is best you go back to your sisters or wherever you want to live….. I will not have you upset my grandchildren any longer… I have corrected all the mistakes that have been made against my beloved Granddaughter….. This is Gulizar's house if she should decide to accept it and her brother and sister have agreed.
Candan: so I'm to be the outcast and this pavilion girl becomes the queen of the house
Tugrul: Mother….. you never know when to keep quite….. It's better that you leave… my father's and grandmother's wishes have finally been honored….. Mine and I have agreed that our sister get what she is rightfully entitled to. Gulizar is truly the only victim….. what grandmother wants is the only correct solution to the mistakes that we all made. Remove your hatred and learn to be happy if not….. that's your problem.
Candan: I'll send for my things since I'm no longer welcomed
Candan storms out of the house as Fatos once again goes to the kitchen and informs everyone of the changes that Madam Hayriye has just implement… Gulizar will become the new madam of the the house if she so chooses and Candan has been outcasted.
What followed was that Gulizar accepted Hayriye's wishes and the inheritance which enabled her to build the recording studio that Mine suggested. Mine and Fettah got married on the farm to only family members. Mine told her mother that if she says one word to disrupt or belittle anyone especially Fettah's family, she would never speak to her again and would never be allowed to see her grandchildren….. which she intended to have with Fettah.
Gulizar ends the series with Frank Sinatra's song
My way
And now the end is near And so I face that final curtain
My friend, I'll make it clear I'll state my case of which I am certain
I've lived a life that's full I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more I did it, I did it my way
Regrets, I had a few But then again too few to mention
I did what I had to do I saw it through without exemption
I planned each chartered course Each careful step along the by-way
And more, much much more I did it, I did it my way
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall And I did it my way
For what is a man? What has he got If not himself? Then he has naught
(Naught) To say the things that he truly feels And not the words of someone who kneels
Let the record show I looked all the blows And did it my way
