Episode 6
“Warm Welcome”

At the Istanbul yali there is lots of bustling to get ready for the arrival of Seyra. Latif has Ferit’s room modified to make space for Seyran. Later, he also tells Sultan that she will no longer look after Ferit, this will be Dicle’s job now. Sultan is very unhappy and protests this, but Latif insists.

In Istanbul, Seyran is enchanted with all the water and the beautiful city. She admits to Ferit she has never been there. He teases her about being nervous. Abidin tells him Ferit should also be nervous because Halis is waiting and watching. We can see him on the balcony.

Ferit is upset that his trophies, etc., were moved to make room for his wife. Latif tells him this was Halis’ order. Seyran is upset that there is only one bed, since this isn’t supposed to be a real marriage. Ferit takes off his clothes to change for dinner, really upsetting Seyran. He finds this funny and parades around undressed just to annoy her.

In the dining room, she meets Halis, who tells her to look up and never lower her gaze again, she is now a Korhan. He talks about loneliness being the biggest test in life. Once the umbilical cord is cut until burial, having someone to share with helps with the loneliness. That is why the family gathers for meals, to be part of a group and not solitary. Later she meets with Halis alone, and he tells her he will help her and Ferit become a family. He says his boy was adrift, doing things without thinking. They have scolded him many times. This is what she can do: She needs to tolerate her husband, be patient. Love and respect will make the man. Most important, he tells her, your room is your home. Some days will be joyful, some somber, but what happens at home stays at home.

Back in their room, Ferit keeps teasing her. He tells her if she wears some sleepwear she has (looks like a teddy), he won’t be responsible, so she quickly tosses that aside.

We see Yusuf with his friends in Antep. He is moaning about Seyran’s marriage, and his friends are commiserating and trying to snap him out of it. He blames himself because she wanted to run away, but he wouldn’t. Now it’s too late. One friend says the rich man bought her like produce. That’s how they think, they can throw money at anything. Yusuf agrees. He vows not to stand still. “I won’t let them keep her.” His friends tell him it’s over, but he won’t hear of it.

In the morning (after sleeping on the uncomfortable chair), Seyran tries to find a charger for her phone. She ends up waking Ferit (in the comfy bed) when she tries to use his charger. He reacts angrily, saying she is like all wives, checking his phone already. This really annoys Seyran who has no interest in him.

Then he picks a dress for her to wear to breakfast. She pointedly chooses to wear a different dress. She also doesn’t eat breakfast. This surprises Halis but he thinks she will adjust in time.

In Antep, the matchmaker Ms. Sahide knocks on the door but brings no one with her, to Suna’s despair. She meets with Esme and Hattuc and tells them she knows Suna is pure, but the rumors are already flying because the younger married before the older. They need to find someone fast. Esme is sure Kazim will be angry at this. Suna hears all this and now feels even worse than she did before.
