"I love her," said Yilmaz Bektas about his estranged wife Ruffa Gutierrez in his interview with The Buzz.

 

Ruffa replied, "I love you and you have to change. Be sweet and be kind."

 

The Bektas couple has been feuding for the past few months because of claims of "abuse" and "betrayal." The Turkish businessman arrived in the country last Friday, August 10. His agenda: to fix his marriage.

 

Yilmaz said, "She send to me a message and she told me I have to come to pick them up. Those were the magic words."

 

Ruffa explained, "Well, he kept saying, ‘Come meet me here. Come meet me there.' I think it's just proper that he's the man and he should come to me in the Philippines.

 

"I think this trip has long been overdue. He's been saying since March that he's coming, but he ends up going to Maldives, or to Hong Kong, or to China. Everywhere except Manila. And even in L.A., he said he was gonna come, but then he ended up in Miami.

 

"So nobody believed him when he said he was going to come. My mom and I actually had a bet. Nakipagpustahan siya sa akin ng 10,000. Sabi ko, ‘Ano dollars or pesos?' Tapos nanalo ako noong dumating nga si Yilmaz. Sabi ko, ‘Sige $10,000.' Sabi niya, ‘Hindi Day! P10,000 lang.'"

 

BRUTUS. During the interview with the entertainment talk show, the couple was candid enough to engage in a banter about their past statements about each other.

 

Ruffa asked Yilmaz to clarify the "Brutus" issue.

 

"In history, you know who's Brutus, right? Because it was Julius Ceasar believe this person too much. He betrayed [him]," answered Yilmaz.

 

Ruffa retorted, "How did I betray you?"

 

Yilmaz cleared the air, "Because she's [Ruffa] only my friend, not just my wife, my friend [too]. Because maybe she knows I'm not speaking too much. My stories always the secret in my heart. Because I don't want to make her sad."

 

Ruffa asked candidly, "And you found me in the garbage?"

 

Yilmaz teased, "Next to the garbage!"

 

Ruffa also confronted Yilmaz about the alleged physical abuse question.

 

"Did you ever hit me?" asked Ruffa.

 

Yilmaz was hesitant to reply, "It's not really nice to answer this. If you really wanna to show myself bad, like I'm the bad person. You're the good person. I'm the wrong one..."

 

Ruffa explained that she is not trying to put her husband in a bad light. She is just trying to clarify earlier reports that Yilmaz denied having hit her.

 

"I admit this and if you gonna follow, if you're gonna check again. I admit this. I said I'm not proud, whatever I did. I repeat this several time, I am not proud, but I'm not a messenger of God. I'm not a Holy person. The same time when you getting the upset high, maybe you cannot hold. Maybe I can deny it right now. How you can prove it? Do you have evidence? No! And just again I be honest, I say I did, but I'm not really proud. I'm shy [embarrassed]," revealed Yilmaz.

 

BEKTAS FAMILY. A day before Yilmaz arrived, Lorin, the couple's firstborn, celebrated her birthday. Baba, as Lorin and Venice call their father, confessed that he missed his wife and kids during the time they were apart.
