Shekinah notes that it would be “good” for Sarper “to think about it before we leave,” but he cuts her off.

“No problem,” he quips. “If she doesn’t like me, it will be a touristic travel for me and I will come back.”

“That’s how you think about it?” Shekinah questions.

“If you don’t marry with me, then I have to come back,” Sarper says plainly.

Unhappy with his reaction, Shekinah tells Sarper that she wanted him to be more comforting.

“Why don’t you just say something like, ‘She’s going to love me. I’m going to do my best,'" she asks, prompting Sarper to repeat those words back to her.

He then notes: “Of course I will do my best, but what do you want me to [do]? I cannot do extra than my character, you know? This is what I am.”

“I’m an a–hole sometimes, but I’m cute,” he jokes.

“Don’t be an a–hole in front of her. That’s all I have to say,” Shekinah replies, unamused.

Sarper cleverly states that he will be “only cute,” but later says in his confessional that the pressure is making him uncomfortable.

“I don’t want our destiny, our fate of our relationship, [to] be on her lips,” he says of Shekinah’s daughter. “‘Ah, I don’t like Sarper, so I don’t want you to marry him, mama.’ I mean, it’s not fair.”
