What is Fatmagul's Fault? - Season 1 (2010)

Fatmagül lives with her brother Rahmi and sister-in-law Mukaddes in a coastal town where beautiful bays are intertwined. Fatmagül is crushed under the pressure of her aunt and her biggest hope for life is her childhood love, her fiancé Mustafa. They will get married as soon as their house, which Mustafa built with his own hands, is finished.

"Finding a distraught Fatmagül raped, Granny Ebe rushes her to the hospital. Fatmagül is traumatized by the disaster she has experienced. Selim, Erdoğan and Vural slowly realize the atrocity they have caused. Kerim, on the other hand, writhes in pain with growing regret. Mukaddes, who has no news from Fatmagül, sends Rahmi to the town to find her."

"Fatmagül, whose life is overshadowed by the dark shadow of four people, gets hope with Mustafa's arrival. Granny Ebe learns that one of the people who did evil to the injured young girl she helped without knowing her is Kerim. Disappointed and angry, Granny Ebe is determined to hand Kerim over to the gendarmes. Mustafa takes action to punish the person who raped Fatmagül with his own hands."

Thinking that he has no reason to live, he wants to end Fatmagül's life. The anger and helplessness of Fatmagül, whose life he has ruined, makes Kerim face the magnitude of his sin again. Having set his future on fire, Mustafa's anger grows and he continues to swear revenge. Münir and Mukaddes turn the situation in their favor to put their plans into practice.

Fatmagül succumbs to the dark shadows surrounding her and marries Kerim. After the wedding, the last deals of Fatmagül's shattered life will be made. Kerim marries Fatmagül, in whose eyes he has always seen hatred and pain, and the Yasarans take a deep breath. Münir's last move to secure the Yaşarans' name completely is to send Fatmagül and Kerim out of town for good.

"While Kerim has a big confrontation with Fatmagül, who attacks him as if to avenge all his pain, Mustafa learns the truth he does not want to hear from Münir. On the other hand, Reşat Yaşaran is cornered by the news in the local newspaper. The incident he tries to prevent grows bigger and bigger. Fatmagül's only hope is to be reunited with her brother as soon as possible."

When Kerim learns that Nana Ebe is also coming to Istanbul, he sets out to find a house for Fatmagül and her family. However, Mukaddes realizes that Kerim will run away after fulfilling this obligatory duty and is determined not to let him go. Mustafa, who embarks on a revenge journey to Istanbul, makes an unlikely traveling companion. Asu, traveling on the same bus, notices Mustafa's sadness.

On the one hand, Mustafa's steps determined to take revenge and Fatmagül's hatred on the other, motivate Kerim to go abroad as soon as possible. Reşat Yaşaran, who is shocked that his forbidden relationship is discovered by Erdoğan, is cornered. Erdogan, whose anger is sharpening by the minute, plays all his cards openly, while Resat Yasaran faces an unexpected threat.

Realizing that she cannot find the answers to her questions in someone else, Meltem risks everything and confronts Fatmagül. While this confrontation hurts Fatmagül's wound even more, Kerim takes action to convince Meltem. Münir, who learns about Meltem's last move thanks to Mukaddes, intervenes and manages to turn the situation in favor of the Yasarans.

Thinking that Kerim is confronting Mustafa, Ebe Nana tries to prevent what will happen in fear, while Fatmagül's concern is for Mustafa. For the Yasarans, the dinner that starts with Turaner Bey's surprise visit turns into a difficult night with Selim's absence. Kerim, Selim, Erdoğan and Vural, whose statements are taken at the police station, try to prove their innocence.

Kerim meets Mustafa at the police station where he goes to get his passport. With everything on the line, Mustafa doesn't recognize this man who has turned his life upside down. But this will not be their last encounter. The midwife grandmother's efforts to get closer to Fatmagül begin to pay off day by day. Fatmagül realizes Meryem's good intentions and begins to enjoy this woman's friendship.

Mustafa, who learns Kerim's connection with Münir, is forced to choose between his revenge and the new life he has started to build. When Fatmagül learns that Mustafa is going abroad, a new sadness blossoms in her heart. Mustafa, who is constantly honing his anger within himself, is becoming more and more dangerous for Kerim.

Fatmagül learns that Kerim has received a visa to go abroad and starts to wait patiently for the day when her worst enemy will leave her life. Mukaddes, who is unaware of the new developments, continues to order Fatmagül and Kerim to play the “happy family”. The sudden death of Rıfat Yaşaran shocks the whole family.

"Fatmagül is shocked when she witnesses Kerim's confession. While this confession raises Ebe Nana's hopes for the future, it adds new question marks to Fatmagül's thoughts about Kerim for the first time. The Yaşarans, who learn that Kerim has given up on going abroad, are uneasy about this latest development. Erdoğan, on the other hand, signals how dangerous he will be for Resat Yaşaran."

When Kerim learns that Fatmagül hid the farewell letter, there is a small ray of hope for Kerim. Mukaddes again uses this new situation as a trump card in her favor. Ebe Nana is uneasy when she learns that an unknown woman is after Fatmagül. Fatmagül wants to hide this from the people at home, but Ebe Nine, who does not want to leave caution to the wind, shares the situation with Kerim.

Panicked by Fatmagül leaving the house, Kerim goes to the police. But it is very difficult to ask for help by hiding the truth from the police. At the same time, thanks to Mukaddes, the news that Fatmagül has left the house reaches the Yasaran house. When Meltem also learns about the incident, things get even more complicated.

"Fatmagül faces great dangers in Asu's house. The first danger on the threshold is Mustafa. On the other hand, Kerim, who is searching for Fatmagül day and night, learns Enise's real identity. Now he is even more worried about Fatmagül. When it becomes clear that the woman after Fatmagül is “Asu, the prostitute”, the situation changes even more."

"The condition of Fatmagül, whom Kerim brings home half unconscious in his arms, causes joy and panic at the same time. Despite everything, Fatmagül's return also dissipates the dark clouds in Kerim's heart. With his patience and love, Kerim begins to shake Fatmagül's walls that he thought would never collapse."

"The truth Fatmagül tells creates a bombshell in the wedding hall. Meltem is now faced with the most difficult decision of her life. Kerim realizes how much their lives will change with this latest situation. Thinking that the Yasarans will surely take revenge, he tries to convince Fatmagül to leave the house. However, Fatmagül is no longer afraid to face her enemies."

"Mustafa learns from the person he hates the most, Kerim, that the truth he wants to believe is a big lie. Now both the criminals and the truth are in the open. In the face of Mustafa, Kerim sacrifices even his own life to protect Fatmagül. Fearing for Kerim's life, Grandma Ebe goes to the police despite all the obstacles."

Mustafa and Fatmagül face each other for the first time after what happened. Months ago, they said silent goodbyes in front of a burning house. Now, they talk in front of the house where Fatmagül is married to someone else. Mustafa will find a completely different Fatmagül. Kerim, who leaves the house with the police, is furious when he learns from Mukaddest that Mustafa came all the way home.

"When Fatmagül gets rid of the last memory of her past, Kerim gets the biggest ray of hope he has been waiting for months. He is now more courageous to share his feelings with Fatmagül. Grandma Ebe, who wants Fatmagül to live a safe life without fear, puts Reşat Yaşaran on the spot. The Yasarans will stay away from her family and Fatmagül forever."

Fatmagül starts her new job with great excitement and Kerim is her first visitor. Kerim sees Fatmagül wearing the wedding ring. Now that wedding ring will never come off her finger. Meltem learns that Mustafa is Fatmagül's fiancé and confronts him to talk to him. Mustafa realizes the value of the words between his lips for the Yasarans.

"Mukaddes reopens the books she was forced to close years ago. Her first love Salih is no longer the old Mukaddes. This encounter will be a turning point in Mukaddes' life. On the other hand, Fatmagül and Kerim are sure that Mukaddes is hiding something from them. Mukaddes has a lie for every situation, but since she can't get over the effect of seeing Salih again, she keeps to herself."

Fatmagül and Kerim are horrified to learn the secret that Mukaddes has been keeping for years. While Kerim tries to calm Fatmagül with the truth he has heard, neither of them realize that they are sharing a situation for the first time. As Mukaddes tries to explain the situation to Nana Ebe in her own way, Fatmagül and Kerim witness this conversation as well.

When Mukaddes leaves the house, taking her son Murat with her, Rahmi is devastated. Fatmagül, who is helpless in the face of her brother's situation, receives support from Kerim again. Mukaddes, who knows that she has entered an irreversible path, confronts Salih, this time with Murat. The fact that Salih's father witnesses this encounter is an opportunity that paves the way for Mukaddes.

Fatmagül's anger, shaken by Kerim's confession of love, is stronger than the feelings she cannot even admit to herself. Losing all hope with Fatmagül's reaction, Kerim regrets that he pushed her further away with his confession.

Fatmagül, who is excited to trust someone again after Kerim's confession of love, wants to give Kerim another chance at their future life, despite all the negativity, even though she sees Kerim and Vuralı together. She thinks that Kerim will give a logical explanation for this meeting.

When Kerim confesses the whole story to the police, risking everything to prove his love to Fatmagül, it is the beginning of a difficult period for Fatmagül. In order for the legal process to begin, Fatmagül must file a complaint. Fatmagül decides to start this difficult struggle even though she knows that she will be worn out during the investigation.

Faced with the police, the Yasarans are unable to stop Selim and Erdoğan from being taken to Izmir to testify. With the official opening of the investigation, Fatmagül and Kerim face threats and denials. As Fatmagül struggles to cope with her fears in this unpredictable struggle, Kerim's fears about how he will be affected by this process increase with each passing minute.

The decision to remand Selim and Erdoğan in pre-trial detention causes a major shock on the Yaşaranlar front. For the Yasarans, who are aware that even the smallest mistake could have irreversible consequences, Mustafa's testimony, which could change the course of the investigation, becomes more valuable. Mustafa demands the return of Erdoğan's hidden gun as the only condition to decide his side.

The dangers around Fatmagül and Kerimin, especially Mustafa, bring them closer to each other at every step. This rapprochement, which takes place in front of his eyes, will not be erased from Mustafa's memory. Crushed by the weight of his own actions, Mustafa's anger towards Fatmagül and Kerim grows over time.

The dinner organized by Kristen is the beginning of a new era for Fatmagül and Kerim. However, this beautiful night will be poisoned again because of Kristin. Meltem, who gives Fatmagül Selim's ring, learns to her surprise that Reşat Yaşaran also knows about it. Reşat Yaşaran pulls out all the stops and Meltem will be his target from now on.

The letter from Australia shocks everyone, especially Kerim. When Mukaddes, who attracts lightning bolts, claims that Ebe Nana and Fatmagül secretly read the letter in order to defend herself, Kerim's anger is compounded by his disappointment. The fate of the letters, which are torn up without ever being read, changes for the first time with this incident.

The flower sent to Gül Mutfağı on the opening day is enough to disturb the peace of the whole family. It is not easy to calm Kerim who wants to ask Mustafa to pay for this flower. As the fire of revenge between Kerim and Mustafa flares up again, Münir is the only one who follows this situation with pleasure.

Mustafa's visit to the Rose Kitchen proves Fatmagül's optimistic thoughts wrong. Knowing that Kerim has gone to work and will not return for a long time, Mustafa becomes even more emboldened to disturb Fatmagül. “Gül Mutfağı”, which is the beginning of a brand new era in Fatmagül's life, means for Mustafa his lost past and Fatmagül. This situation increases his anger even more.

Thinking that Fatmagül will meet Mustafa, Kerim starts his secret surveillance. On the other hand, Mukaddes, whose suspicions that she is pregnant are justified, faces a difficult decision as she is about to take a new turn in her life. The morning that starts with doubts for Kerim turns into a happy day when Fatmagül confesses that she has started to trust him.

The wedding dress Kerim receives as a birthday gift makes Fatmagül's unhealed wounds bleed again. However, this wedding dress, which was bought to make a new start away from the shadows of the past, is like a summary of all the past that Fatmagül wants to forget. While Kerim thinks that he has taken a well-intentioned but wrong step, the biggest ray of hope for Kerim comes from Fatmagül.

"In the courtroom after months, Fatmagül is for the first time so close to the dark shadows that have fallen on her, and for the first time strong enough to hold them to account. But the sun is still hidden behind the shadows. Erdoğan, Selim and Vural are released at the end of the first hearing. Fatmagül feels defeated once again. She gives up because she is afraid of what will happen next. "
