Synopsis

Chapter 1 - 1

In a large palace garden overlooking the coast, a beautiful girl sat who was a marvel to behold. The girl was white with dark brown hair and light brown strands. Her delicate features and green eyes shone with innocence and purity. She wore a maid uniform, red sunglasses on her eyes, and a woolen shawl around her shoulders. The girl sat calmly in the garden, listening to music with a cup of coffee in her hand. She reached out for an expensive chocolate bar, which may cost her at least six months' salary. She has always dreamed of living in a house like this. She imagined herself as the lady of this extensive palace for a moment before the head servant knocked on the window and interrupted her thoughts.

Upon seeing the head servant, the girl quickly got up, took off her headphones and glasses, lifted a plate of coffee and chocolate, and ran towards the kitchen. After reaching the kitchen, the girl put the cup and plate on the table quickly and messily.

The head servant saw her and said angrily, "What are you doing? Leave what you have here, you can tidy it up later. The guests are leaving and Mrs. Ender wants you."

The girl nervously said "Mrs. Ender!" and quickly headed towards the door.

The head servant said to her sarcastically, "Since you are so scared of her, you shouldn't recline like the lady of the house.."

"I have been working hard since morning and have only had coffee now, is this too much?" The girl grumbled as she left the kitchen.

She walked down the luxurious hallway until she reached the guest room and began to hear Mrs. Ender's voice. "It's good that you came, girls."

She spoke very slowly and carefully, choosing her words precisely before speaking them. Her voice was strong and confident, showing the extent of her self-assurance and pride.

The girl entered the guest room quickly. The guest room was classic with the utmost elegance and luxury. A beautiful wheat-skinned woman appeared wearing a light blue formal outfit. Her black hair was pulled back in a ponytail and her simple silver earrings made her look simply stunning. She walked confidently and proudly surrounded by several women heading towards the door. If the girl's eyes showed innocence and purity, Ender's eyes showed sharpness and intelligence.

As soon as Ender spotted the girl, she ordered "Yildiz, bring the coats" Then she turned to speak to the woman next to her as they walked towards the exit. "Honey, those are such pretty flowers. I loved it. Look, I'm not counting this visit, okay? I am expecting you with Erkut next time."

The woman replied with a smile, "Ender, my dear, coming over to your place is always a pleasure for me. Every time there is different hospitality. Do you know how much I learn from you?"

Ender smiled at the woman, while Yildiz came quickly carrying the woman's coat and putting it on her. She looked at the woman and bid her farewell with a smile, while Yildiz went to get the remaining coats. She took one of the coats to give it away. It was a very beautiful red fur coat. Yildiz looked at it for a few seconds before its owner put it on and said, "Your coat is pretty '' The woman thanked her kindly and left. 

Ender said goodbyes to her guests. As soon as the last guest left, her gentle smile disappeared and a serious look appeared on her face. 

Yildiz closed the door and stood next to it with a smile on her face.

Ender ordered her as she walked back inside, "Bring me a coffee"

Yildiz: "Right away"

Yildiz returned to the kitchen and said to the head servant, "Mrs. Ender wants a coffee."

Head servant: "Instantaneously"

Yildiz said excitedly as she headed towards the coffee machine, "No, No… I'll do it myself."

The head maid wondered, "Oh What's this now? You keep on talking about Mrs. Ender."

Yildiz laughed, "Well, being Mrs. Ender isn't easy"

****

Ender stood watering the plants in the office quietly while thinking. Yildiz's coffee interrupted her train of thought. Yildiz put the coffee on the table and said."Mrs. Ender, I'm leaving your coffee here."

Ender turned to Yildiz and said, "Alright dear."

When Yildiz was about to leave, she called her, "Yildiz, come take a seat"

Yildiz hesitated for a moment until Ender pointed to the chair in front of her and repeated her request in a softer voice, "Go on sit" Yildiz sat on the chair nervously.

Ender watched the plants as she spoke, "You don't have to come here tomorrow. You can go to the office. If I need you Mrs. Aysel will tell you."

Yildiz: "Alright Mrs. Ender"

Ender continued her speech calmly, "So… How is it going with Mr. Halit? Is my husband hitting on you?"

Yildiz was shocked and said, "Mrs Ender, did I misunderstand? Are you joking?"

Ender turned coldly and said, "No… I just know my husband very well. He is such a womanizer."

Yildiz quickly got up and said, "I am very upset you thought of this. There is no such situation. I swear on this."

Ender stopped watering the plants, calmly walked towards Yildiz, and said, "Then there should be"

Yildiz was so shocked that she was unable to speak. The only thing she could say was, "I don't understand."

Ender's features changed and her voice sharpened, "Are you stupid? Is there such a thing as a diet food-serving waitress? Why on earth do you think I have hired you?"

Yildiz said without understanding, "I don't know, Mrs. Ender, why did you hire me?"

Ender confidently sat on the chair where Yildiz was sitting and said, "To help me."

Yildiz: "How can I help you?"

Ender, without changing her facial expressions, said: "By seducing my husband."

Yildiz was shocked, "What!"

Ender explains to her, "I'm not telling you to live a love story with him. Just get close to him so he thinks he can have a relationship."

Yıldız fearfully said, "Why would I do such a thing, Mrs. Ender?"

Ender: "Because I have to prove to the court that Halit is committing adultery, and for this I have to catch you in a hotel room."

Yildiz opened her eyes wide as she felt horror mixed with shock at what she heard, "What!!!"

Ender said in a high tone, "Don't look at me like that." She sighed and got up from the chair, "I know, it seems like I have a perfect life that I can never give up, but the facts are not like that, you don't know."

Yildiz tensed, "I'm talking about the hotel room, Mrs. Ender..."

Ender interrupted her, "Leave the hotel room now. I'm telling you I will deal with that, why don't you believe me? I have to divorce that man."

Yildiz said without understanding: "Why do you need something like this? Why don't you file for a regular divorce?"

Ender exhaled strongly and put her hands on the table, "You don't know Halit at all, Yildiz. This man is mentally ill. First, he tortured all his previous wives and then kicked them out without money. Now I'm doing my best not to end up like them." She walked towards Yildiz and sat in front of her, trying to convince her. "If you succeed, I will give you $100,000. That's a good amount of money, I tell you."

Yildiz refused, "No. I… Something like that, Mrs. Ender..."

Ender interrupted her and said, "Please don't decide in haste. Think a little, but I don't have much time"

Yildiz thought for a moment: Rich people are strange people, aren't they? In their eyes, we are like insects, and they believe that money can buy everything we need and everything we want in life. Anyway, I'd better explain to you what happened from the beginning. 

***

Yildiz lived with her younger sister, Zeynep, in a modest house in a poor neighborhood.

A simple house with two rooms and a kitchen had worn furniture and leaky walls. Zainab screamed, "Come on, Yildiz, every day I'm late because of you. Why are you spending so much time getting ready? You just need to show up to work." When she didn't hear a response from her sister, she opened the door forcefully and shouted again, "Who am I talking to?"

Yildiz was brushing her hair in front of the mirror. "Why am I getting ready like this? As if I'm preparing for a concert? I'm also getting ready for work. Do you know who comes to my workplace?"

Zainab replied angrily, "Who comes to your workplace? For God's sake, who comes to your workplace? Those women who dress up and show off their husbands' money, what's the point in that?"

Yildiz: "What's in the husband's money? They dress up and show off while going from one invitation to another."

Zainab headed towards the door and said, "Yildiz, I can't deal with your chatter early in the morning."

Yildiz caught up with her and asked, "Look at me, did you get your salary?"

She replied, "No, what salary? Hasn't our company transferred now? If the new managers decide to give us our accumulated salaries, they will."

Yildiz: "Let them make an effort and give, it's shameful."

Yildiz put on her coat and shoes, then stood in front of the mirror to check her appearance. Zainab scolded her angrily, "Come on, Yildiz, I told you we're late." 

She left the house with her sister heading to work. On the way, she opened her phone and saw the latest fashion trends. Clothes that she can only dream of, one of which costs her salary for at least a year. Her sister looked at her and said, "Forget the phone, what are you looking at in the morning?"

Yildiz, while admiring a beautiful blouse, said, "Look at the beauty of this blouse, it's a new season."

Zainab, feeling like she was going to explode, said, "I'm thinking about how we're going to pay the electricity bill and you're still talking about a blouse."

Yildiz sighed and turned her gaze towards an old woman coming towards them. Yildiz felt scared and pulled Zainab behind the car. Zainab was surprised and asked, "What are you doing, Yildiz?"

Yildiz, feeling scared, said, "This is the landlady, if she sees us we're done. We haven't paid rent for two months."

She replied, "Okay, we ask her permission for another month, and we pay it, are we going to run away from her like this?"

Yildiz, sarcastically, said, "And she said the same thing when she caught me last month. Wait until she passes, then we'll go."

After the woman left, the sisters came out from behind the car. Zainab complained, "We're really playing a chase game." She looked at the clock in horror, "I'm late, I'll run, come on, see you tonight."

Yildiz continued walking while admiring the blouse, "Oh, how beautiful this blouse is, I hope it will be mine." Yildiz kissed her phone and closed it, then continued her way to work.

***

While Yildiz dreams of owning one of these blouses. They were having breakfast at Mrs. Ender's house, who owned dozens of those blouses.

Khalid Arjun presided over the breakfast table, with his wife Ender on his right. Khalid was a man in his fifties with gray hair. Despite his age, he was a dignified and elegant man who cared about himself. He was one of the richest men in Turkey. He was a good and hardworking businessman who was respected. His only problem was his love for women. He was very interested in beauty and youth. He was used to seeing a beautiful and well-dressed woman next to him all the time. He is guaranteed not to give a single penny to the women who divorce him but keeps the jewelry in his private safe. He cannot live without the attention of women and wants women to care for him and love him. He is a father who is very fond of his children. He has two daughters, Laila and Zahra, and one son, Erim, all from different mothers.

Everyone had breakfast quietly, in the dining room, only the sound of spoons clashing with plates was heard. Zahra, the eldest daughter, entered the dining room calling out, "Mrs. Aysel, can you give me coffee and a painkiller?"

Aysel: "Sure"

Zahra turned to everyone at the table and said, "Good morning," then sat in her seat next to her father on the left.

Everyone went back to eating in silence again. Laila extended her hand to take the last piece of bread, but her brother Irem quickly preceded her. Layla whispered angrily, "Give it to me, Irem." Erim looked at her provocatively and bit the bread.

Their quarrel was interrupted by their father's voice, "Shhh, I'm reading the newspaper."

Silence almost returned to the dining table, but Zahraa broke this silence by saying, "How was yesterday's invitation?"

Ender smiled and said, "It was beautiful. Why didn't you join us? I sent a message with Eileen for you to come down."

Zahra laughed and said, "Oh, your eyes were looking for me."

Ender: "If you were with us, we would be happy."

Zahraa looked provocatively and replied, "I said not to disturb you so that you can carry out your show comfortably in my absence."

Her father interrupted her angrily, "Zahraa."

Zahraa became nervous, "I don't mean you, father."

Ender turned to her son, "Erim, come on, my son."

Erim quickly got up from the table and took his coat with him. He pulled Laila's hair as he headed towards his mother. Laila hit him on the hand angrily, "What are you doing? Tell him something, father."

He kissed his mother, who hugged him, then turned to his father, laughing.

Halit: "Irem! Come on, go to school, my son. Come on."

Erim left the room heading to school. As soon as he left, Khalid turned to Laila and said, "And you, don't act like a child with the child." Then he turned to Ender and said angrily, "Mrs. Ender, take care."

Ender felt the mocking looks of Zahra and replied, "Neither of them is a child. What should I do? Should I interfere in the siblings' jokes? I don't understand."

Khalid angrily said, "It's enough that you don't answer at all. My head is about to explode."

Aysel entered to give Zahra her painkiller and coffee. Ender turned to her and said, "Would you also bring Mr. Khalid's medicine, Mrs. Aysel?"

Halit closed the newspaper, "Young lady, don't you have a college?"

Laila: "Today my lessons are at noon and I will go to my mother before I go to college."

Khalid: "Go, but don't be late for college. I would not like to see an absence"

Layla: "Okay"

Halit said loudly, "Come on, get my medicine."

Aysel quickly entered the room with the medicine. Halit took his medicine and got up from the table, "I'm leaving"

Ender focused her gaze on the cup as Halit left, "Will you renew my tea for me, Mrs. Aysel?"

Ender, who lives with her husband Khalid, her son Erim, and her two stepdaughters, was never happy in this house.

***

Yildiz worked as a customer receptionist in a luxury restaurant. For her, this was the shortest way to meet the people she saw in magazines. Yildiz stood looking at Ender's pictures in the magazine until she heard the door sound. She quickly closed the magazine put it on the chair and went to welcome the customers. Among the group of customers who entered was one named Mita. Yildiz's prince with the white horse, whom she dreamed of marrying. But he acted like he didn't know her. 'Despicable,' thought Yildiz as they approached the table. She slammed the menu on the table and left.

One of Mita's friends laughed and said, "What happened now?"

Meta was nervous, "I don't know bro, everyone has probably gone crazy here."

While Yildiz was thinking about how to make Meta pay the price, the owner of the offer that would change Yildiz and Zainab's lives entered.

Yildiz: "Welcome, Mrs. Ender."

Ender: "Hello"

Yildiz took Ender's coat. Ender asked her, "Is there someone who came before me?"

Yildiz directed her towards her table, "Mrs. Zeynep has come. Come, I will accompany you."

As soon as Zainab spotted Ender, she welcomed her. Yildiz stood with a smile and said, "I will send your waiter right away. Enjoy your food from now. Welcome again, Mrs. Ender."

Ender smiled and said, "Thanks."

As soon as Yildiz left, Zainab's smile disappeared and she pointed at Yildiz, "This girl is cute. The girls who welcome customers here are beautiful, but they'll steal someone's husband if they get the chance. Otherwise, wouldn't a girl with such beauty suffer in these places with the minimum wages? It is clear that she went out to hunt."

Ender looked at Yildiz with a smile and a smart idea flashed in her mind.

Mrs. Ender finished eating and sent her friends. She took her first step to implement her plan. She called the restaurant manager, "Will you look, Mr. Mahmoud?"

The manager came quickly, "How can I help you, ma'am?"

Ender pointed to Yildiz, "What is this girl's name?"

Mahmoud: "Which girl, ma'am?"

Ender pointed again at Yildiz, "This one, the one who received us."

Mahmut turned to Yildiz and said, "Yildiz, ma'am."

Ender: "Will you send her to me?"

Mahmut immediately agreed and summoned Yildiz. This was Yildiz's first opportunity to talk to Mrs. Ender, whom she had seen in magazines and admired, face to face.

Yildiz came quickly, "If I made a mistake, Mrs. Ender, please do not blame me. I sincerely apologize."

Ender interrupted her with a smile, "No, please sit down."

Yildiz looked at the chair in astonishment and then at her manager. Ender gestured towards the manager with her hand. Then She indicated with her eyes to Yildiz to sit on the chair.

Ender began gently, "I've been coming here for a long time, Yildiz. Believe me, I've never seen someone as persistent and hardworking as you. You won't believe it, but you resemble me a little"

Yildiz smiled excitedly, "Me? Is something like this possible? Thank you very much."

Ender asked her, "Do you live with your family?"

Yildiz: "I live with my sister"

Ender: "Can you live on the salary you receive?"

Yildiz wondered, "What?"

Ender: "So, would you like to triple your salary?"

Yildiz was surprised, "Triple? Of course, I would, but is it something I can do?"

Ender: "Of course. I want you to become our private waitress. You will be with me at the parties I hold at home, and at other times you will be at my husband's workplace. My husband is diabetic, I want you to prepare his food, but you will never allow him to eat secretly, like a kind of "healthy food guard". What do you say?"

Yildiz: "I don't know"

Ender is trying to convince her, "Tomorrow, I will invite five people to tea. You can start in the morning, and at breakfast, I'll introduce you to my husband. Even if we do not agree, you won't lose your job. I will speak to your manager and ask him, okay?"

Yildiz: "Okay"

Ender took out her card from her bag, "Call my assistant Aisha to give you the necessary information." Ender got up from the table and said, "I'll wait for you tomorrow."

Yildiz's morale, which had been ruined by Meta, improved with Mrs. Ender's offer. Of course, at that time, Yildiz did not know about her plan.

***

While Ender was planning about Yildiz, Zeynep was about to meet her new manager. It seemed like her life wouldn't be very easy either.

All the employees lined up when the new manager entered. A person named Hakan came forward first and introduced himself, then pointed to a man in his thirties and said, "Our manager, Ali Han Taşdemir."

The company's general manager came forward and extended his hand, "I am Selim Genç, the company's general manager."

Ali Han extended his hand and asked him, "Do you have a meeting room here, Mr. Selim?"

Zainab replied, "Of course there is. By the way, I am Zainab, Mr. Selim's assistant. Let me help you."

Hakan: "Go ahead."

Zeynep walked in front followed by Selim, Ali Han, and Hakan. She took them to the meeting room and left.

Ali Han: "We don't need you right now, Mr. Saleem. If we need you, we will call you."

After Salim left, Ali Han looked at the papers and said, "How high is the rent for this place? It turns out why these people are not profitable. I understand that you want this place, but I say let's close this place and open a place in our logistics."

Hakan: "Okay, it's possible."

Ali Han: "How many employees remained in total, Ida?"

Ida: "A total of seven people have not been able to receive their salaries for three months."

Ali Han: "Let everyone come and we fire them so that we have no debt left."

Hakan: "Could there be someone who can help us?"

Ali Han: "I don't think so."

Hakan motioned for Ida to call the staff. After she left, he turned to Ali Han, "I know you don't want this much, but believe me, you will not regret including this company in our structure. Rest assured."

Ali Han: "I hope it happens as you say, Hakan."

Ida returned with the staff to the meeting room.

Ali Han looked at them all and said, "You must have heard what happened, so I will not go into details. The company you serve has been bought by Falcon Airlines. Your salaries and compensations, which you could not take until today, will be paid. After that, you will no longer have anything to do with this company. I think there is nothing incomprehensible, You can leave."

After the employees left, he continued reading the papers until a project caught his attention. "What is this?"

Hakan: "This is the afforestation project that the workplace started, and if we complete it, it will be very good."

Ali Han: "Is this a joke? Between all this work?"

Hakan: "But for a company that grows over time, being present in social responsibility projects is important."

Ali Han: "Do I have time to devote to this, Hakan?"

Hakan: "You will go out in front of the press and take two pictures. It won't be long."

Ali Han: "Who is responsible?"

Eda: "Zeynep Yilmaz, sir."

Ali Han: "Fine, bring her."

Ida: "Okay"

Ida got up to get Zainab while Ali Han continued reading the papers. Moments later, Ida returned to the office, followed by Zainab.

Ali Han asked her without taking his eyes off the papers, "Are you taking care of the afforestation project?"

Zainab: "Yes, I mean, after the forest fire that happened there..."

Ali Han interrupted her, "Be there tomorrow at nine in the morning."

Zainab took a long breath and said, "I will not be able to come, sir, because I was fired from work a while ago."

He lifted his eyes from the papers and looked at her. She was a very ordinary girl, somewhat short with curly brown hair and wide brown eyes. Her eyes shone with sincerity. Her clothes were plain and cheap, as she wore a navy, white, and red striped dress with a red scarf around her neck and her hair draped over her shoulder.

Ali Han: "You are hired again, be there at nine in the morning."

Zainab was surprised and had nothing to say. She stood there speechless.

Ali Han looked back at the papers and said, "You can leave."

She left the office angrily without adding another word.

***

In the evening, while Yildiz was buying potatoes and onions, she explained what happened to Zainab. Meta acted as if he didn't know her and the job offer she took.

Zainab was surprised, "What does a private waitress mean?"

Yildiz: "I don't quite understand either. I will serve her and her husband, something like that."

Zainab: "Good, but aren't you in "receiving customers"? Your position is better now."

Yildiz happily said, "But she will give me triple my salary."

Zainab was surprised, "What? Give you triple as much?"

Yildiz: "And without knowing my salary."

Zainab was surprised, "Who is this woman?"

Yildiz: "Halit Ergun's wife"

Zeinab did not understand, "Who is Halit Arjun?"

Yildiz: "Oh my God, Zeynep, don't you know Halit Ergun? You don't read anything. He is one of the most important businessmen in Turkey and Mrs. Ender is his third wife. She was his secretary first and then they got married."

Zainab sarcastically said, "It is a story that suits you perfectly."

The sisters returned home, and Zainab began preparing dinner. "Stir the onions so they don't burn, Yildiz."

Yildiz went to stir the onions with a grumble, "Wasn't there anything without onions? My smell will be like onions."

Zainab: "Are you a waitress starting tomorrow?"

Yildiz excitedly raised her hand, "Temporarily."

Zainab sarcastically, "This means you are thinking about getting promoted later. What will you do? Will you become the executive director of Arjun Palace?"

Yildiz: "How funny. You focus on your work. I will try it and if it doesn't work, I will go back to my previous job. So what?"

Yildiz's phone rang, indicating a message. Yildiz picked up the phone and smiled.

Zainab: "Who are you texting?"

Yildiz, without taking her eyes off the phone, said, "With Mita. You can cook for yourself, I will eat outside."

Zainab: "With Mita? My sister, I really can't believe you. Didn't you tell me that he acted as if he didn't know you today? Forget about him, don't answer his messages or anything like that, even block him."

Yildiz: "Why would I block him? Can't you understand? I love him."

Zainab in disbelief, "Yes, you love him very much."

Yildiz: "Why did you say that?"

Zainab: "I didn't say anything."

Yildiz: "I know what you mean. Are you saying that I only like him because he comes from a good family and is wealthy? He is rich, so what? Should I love someone poor? We love each other. We will get married and you will see."

Zainab: "In my opinion, he does not intend to marry you. You have been together for a long time and he has not even gotten to know me yet."

Yildiz angrily said, "What do you understand? As if you were married 5 times and divorced, you comment. Don't comment."

Yildiz's phone rang again, announcing a message. Yildiz smiled again and said, "He has come. I am going out. I will come in an hour or two. When I return, I will tell you the date of my engagement." She kissed her sister and left quickly.

Zeynep shook her head, "Oh Yildiz."

Yildiz was going to make Mita pay for the morning's behavior but not for much longer. She was thinking that there was no point in prolonging the dispute in serious relationships.

Yildiz got into Meta's car. Mita kissed her, "How are you?"

Yildiz: "Actually I wasn't coming but whatever."

Mita wondered, "Why is this?"

Yildiz: "Are you asking why, Mita? When I came to the restaurant you acted as if you didn't really know me."

Meta: "They were my friends from Switzerland. I hadn't seen them for a long time. They wanted to come to eat."

Yildiz angrily said, "You don't understand me, Mita. I'm not telling you why you came to the restaurant. You came to the restaurant and acted as if you didn't know me even though you saw me. If I didn't know you, I would say that you were ashamed of me."

Meta ran his hand through Yildiz's hair, "Yildiz, don't be delirious. I did something like this in order not to put you in a difficult situation in the workplace. I thought you would understand. If I had known you would be sad, I would never have done something like this." He kissed her hand, "We are good, right?"

Yildiz threatened, "If it happens again."

Mita interrupted her, "It won't happen, I promise. What do we do now? Let's go to my house."

Yildiz did not understand, "Why? Will I get to know your mother and family?"

Meta, "No, they're out of the country." Then he approached her while playing with her hair, "I thought we would go to my house on the coast."

Yildiz: "And I thought we would go eat."

Mita lowered his hand and sighed, "Okay, let's go."

Yildiz and Meta arrived at the restaurant. Yildiz took Meta's hand and smiled, "Fortunately, we came to eat, otherwise I would have argued with you more. You're always busy, you always have work."

As soon as Yildiz and Meta entered the restaurant, Yildiz fell silent and looked around in shock. Although the restaurant sold kebabs, all the people there were rough men from a poor neighborhood.

Mita asked her, "Where do we sit?" When Yildiz did not answer him, he pointed to a table in the corner, "Come, let's sit there if you want."

Yildiz went with him to the table, "Did you bring me here?"

Meta: "What's wrong with this place?"

Yildiz: "I don't know, I thought we would go somewhere on the strait."

Mita looked at her and asked for the menu, then said, "Let's eat and then go home."

Yildiz angrily said, "Why did you insist on going home? I don't understand?"

Mita ignored her and asked, "What are you eating?"

Yildiz looked away and did not reply.

Meta: "I don't know, maybe we'll have fun."

Yildiz angrily said, "I don't understand, Meta. We've been together for three months. Like you never introduced me to your friends, you don't even bother to get to know my sister. We're always in poor places. Do you want me to come with you to your house now?"

Meta was bored, "Yildiz, look at me, my dear. Excessive flirtation bores the lover, okay."

Yildiz did not understand, "What do you mean?"

Mita: "I mean, you are a very beautiful and cute girl, but there is something to everything, right?"

Yildiz: "What thing?"

Meta sarcastically said, "Don't think that I will probably marry you. Look at yourself and look at me too. I also have a family and a circle. Don't blame me, but I can't take your hand as my girlfriend and bring you into that circle, right? Instead of thanking God that I brought you here, you are still complaining. Look, if you are coming with me to the house, come on, I'm tired of this, and if you are not coming, don't come, okay?"

Yildiz angrily took the glass of water in front of her and poured it on him, "Fuck you!." She took her bag and shouted, "Don't you ever call me again."

As she was leaving, Mita shouted, "Why should I call you? You're a girl from a trashy neighborhood." 

Yildiz couldn't respond and tears gathered in her eyes. She left the place crying and walked home. As soon as she arrived, she put her bag and coat on the table and tried to hide the traces of her crying so that Zeynep wouldn't notice. 

When Zeynep heard the sound of the door, she called her sister "Yildiz." When she didn't hear a response, she went to the door. She saw her sister's smile wiped away and traces of crying were on her face. Zeynep asked her with concern, "What happened? Did something happen?"

Yildiz replied without looking at her face, "Nothing."

Zainab worriedly asked, "Did you fight? What happened?"

Yildiz: "I don't want to talk right now, Zeynep."

Zeinab: "Okay. Have you eaten?"

Yildiz shook her head no as she went towards her room.

Zainab: "Okay, let's set the dining table and we can eat together then."

Yildiz changed her clothes and put on comfortable pajamas, then sat at the dining table with her sister. Yildiz was silent in a way that worried her sister.

Zeynep worriedly, "Yildiz, won't you explain to me what happened? Did you fight with Mita? Did something happen?"

Yildiz sadly said, "Look, I will tell you what happened, but please don't make me regret it. I'm already upset."

Zainab: "Okay, say it."

Yildiz: "Mita and I broke up. I didn't tell you because you would throw words and annoy me."

Zainab: "Are you crazy? Why would I bother you? Quite the opposite. It was the right thing. Very good. I mean, you got rid of that dirty man. What kind of relationship is this? He didn't even take you out among people. You were meeting in secret."

Yildiz with a broken look, "And he said exactly that. He said, 'Look at yourself and look at me. Does someone like him deserve to be with someone like me?'"

Zeynep hugged her, "Yildiz, don't be sad, my love."

Yildiz started crying again in Zeynep's arms while she was calming her down.

Zainab: "It's very good that you got rid of this man, maybe now you should give up the dream of finding a rich husband."

Yildiz confidently said, "I will become rich, Zeynep. I will become rich."

Zainab: "Is this your dream? Will you be happy with money?"

Yildiz: "People respect those who have money, and I will make them respect me. No one will ever see me as small again."
