Ömer is trying to find the words and Ayşe is becoming desperate. Ömer says I need to tell you something about this. Demir calls. He wants to answer. Ayşe takes it out of his hands. You have fought haven't you? You are probably at fault. What did you do? She wobbles. Ömer holds her. She begs him to tell her they did not separate. Please. Zehra walks in and Ayşe goes and hugs her. She apologizes for being late. Ayşe says I am fine how are the two of you. Zehra says we are fine. Ömer gives a sign of relief. Ayşe is also relieved. She goes to talk to Asya. Ömer asks why she has returned. She checks outside and then closes the door. Zehra remembers that Demir knocked on her door and asked to talk to her. He tells her that Ömer has not sent her. Zehra says I spoke to Ayşe's doctor and she is fine. Demir says Ömer has told the doctor not to tell anyone. Only Ömer and I know that Ayşe's sickness is incurable, and the doctor has given her six months. That is why Ömer married you. Zehra remembers the first day and how Ayşe had gotten excited over thinking Zehra is Ömer's girlfriend and how he had come strangely to ask her to marry him. Demir tells Zehra you are Ayşe's only hope. Then she realizes Ömer has gone to tell Ayşe they are separating. Back in the room, Zehra tells Ömer I will do everything to make Ayşe happy from now on. Ömer says that is all I ask from you. She goes to her room and Ömer breathes. He calls Demir and tells him Zehra returned. Demir says I just felt she would and says he is very happy to hear the news.

Demir goes to Leyla with a cheesecake and makes sure everything is fine between them. They also discuss Ömer and Zehra and Demir says I wish their marriage was real. Meanwhile Yasemin takes Salim home and wants to cook for him but he says let's go crazy and order pizza. Yasemin is amused. Koray is looking for an apartment but everything is too expensive.

Ömer wants to talk to Zehra in the bedroom but she says I want to go to Ayşe. Ömer follows her shortly. Zehra arrives at the living room and can't hold off her tears when he sees Ayşe there. Ömer sees her returning with tears and asks her to keep her feelings in check in front of Ayşe. Zehra says she will try. They go in together. Alev tries to question Zehra about Leyla but Ayşe cuts her off. Ömer changes the subject. Ayşe wants to do something. Zehra says sit I will do it. Zehra is showing too much concern Ömer feels and is worried that she will give things away. Asya comes and Zehra's feelings boil. Ömer whispers to her to control herself. Alev wonders what secret they are exchanging. When Ayşe leaves with Nihat and Asya, she says tell me the truth. What's going on? Leyla was not sick. You can tell me if anything is wrong. Ömer says it does not concern you. Zehra says it is a secret but only for the time being. In time we'll share it with everyone. They go to the bedroom.

Demir is concerned that Nedim Bey is working Leyla too hard. He leaves early. Koray texts with Yasemin and is happy.

In the middle of the night, Ömer is sleeping and suddenly jumps from a nightmare screaming Ayşe. Zehra is not there. He wonders if she is gone. He is about to go out of the bedroom when he hears her sobbing in the bathroom. She is sitting on the floor looking at Ayşe's childhood photos and crying. Ömer joins her on the floor. Also in tears, he tells Zehra about the photos and their childhood stories. Every time I thought everything is fine and she is fine….He is openly crying and suddenly stops himself and gets up to leave. He stops at the door, turns around and offers Zehra his hand so she gets up too.

In the morning Zehra is in the kitchen making breakfast for Ayşe and asking Hediye about the things she likes. Ömer comes and Hediye gives him some tea. He sits at the island and drinking his tea, watches Zehra. Hediye leaves to give Müzeyyen her meds.

Salim goes to the workshop and Koray is sleeping at the table. Ayşe reads to Asya and Asya says I don't want to go to school today. Ömer and Zehra come in with the breakfast. They sit with them. Asya says I don't want to go to school because my mom is not there to play with me. Zehra's feeling boil over again. Asya stays and Zehra and Ömer leave them. Ömer again asks her to take control. Zehra says there must be something we can do. Ömer says I have discussed it with top doctors from all over the world but… He goes to the study.

Fikrat's men take a photo of Yasemin and Salim. They send it to Fikrat and he says I won't let you two fool my son. Alev and Nihat bicker in the office again. Nihat tells Mehtap to keep an eye on Alev and tell him everything. Leyla is late. Nedim Bey has given her too much work. Demir says he is working you too hard. We should pull his ears. Demir has done much of their work so Leyla could go home tonight and rest. Leyla thanks her.

Cevriye tells Nihat she is giving her heirloom ring to Ayşe. She gives it to her in the living room. When she says this is a family heirloom, Zehra touches her necklace. Ayşe tries it; it is too big. Cevriye tries it and it gets stuck on her finger. She says its edema. She runs in the kitchen and gets it out with soap and then gives it to Ayşe. Zehra gets up to go somewhere. Ömer asks where she is going. She says I have something to do. She leaves. She goes to the doctor and tells him that Ömer has told her about Ayşe's sickness and if there is something else they could do. She then returns and goes to the study to talk to Ömer. Ömer says I have work can we talk later. He thinks she has gone to Mahaleh. She says no I had something else to do. She goes. Ömer goes to the bedroom late. She is sitting in her pajamas on the armchair waiting. He is surprised that she is still up. She says she wants to talk. He says I did not realize it was so important. She says I have spoken with Ayşe's doctor. I understand you have tried to stop Ayşe from getting upset but now you must tell Ayşe about her sickness.

Nihat comes in and says what is it that Ayşe needs to know. Zehra suddenly gets a call from Yasemin that Salim has passed out in the workshop. She says all flustered she has to run. Nihat wants to talk to Ömer but Ömer says I have to go now. He runs out and takes Zehra to Mahaleh. Meanwhile Koray arrives and helps lift Salim. Salim has come to and tells them not to worry. He just had a dizzy spell and probably has forgotten to take his blood pressure pills. Zehra calls again while Ömer is driving her. Yasemin lets her talk with Salim and she feels better. Ömer is concerned and asks her whether her father has any heart condition. At home Salim tells Yasemin to go and buy her meds and tells Koray, when they are alone, that there are a couple of men who are asking for bribes and he should stay away from the workshop for a couple of days. Koray wonders if it is his father's men. Ömer drives Zehra to her house. He says I can wait here. Let me know if you need anything. She thanks him and goes in. Koray leaves when Zehra comes. Outside he sees Yasemin returning. Ömer sees the two of them talking on the street.

Meanwhile Nihat tells Mehtap to keep an eye on Alev and keeps asking her about it. Cevriye struggles with the thought of going on a diet and is binge eating thinking of starting her diet on Monday! Ayşe is also very worried about the ring and can't find it anywhere.

Koray goes to his father and shouts at him and tells him to lay off Salim. At the office Ömer calls Zehra and asks if he should send a doctor. Zehra says everything is fine and thanks him. Demir asks Ömer how is everything. Ömer notes that if there is any problem, Zehra would not go to him anyways. Demir says how can she. She cannot explain your existence to her family. Ömer is becoming more and more aware of the implications of this relationship with Zehra. Zehra tends to her father and when he insists all is fine, she goes home. Ömer calls her again from the office and realizes that she has returned home and is going to Ayşe. Again he is concerned that she might tell Ayşe. At home Zehra realizes that Ayşe has been unable to rest because of the ring. In her room Ayşe has gone through everything and recovered an old diary of when she had just had Asya and is reminiscing and telling Müzeyyen she never wants to forget any of her daughters' moments. Behind the door, Zehra cries.

Demir gives a file to Leyla in his office and then asks if she needs an assistant. She refuses. She then gets a call and says she has to go somewhere. Demir says is it Tyfun. Leyla is upset and says no it is my friend who needs help and leaves indignantly. Demir curses himself. He then decides to put the ring somewhere in her office so she would find it. In the real estate office Mehtap wonders why her secret admirer has not sent her any messages lately. Beton listens to her complaints. Salim gets Koray to stay at their home for the night.

Zehra is in the bedroom crying. Ömer arrives. He thinks something is wrong about her dad. She says it is not. He asks why did you cry then. She says if I had known from the beginning and she starts remembering the time Ayşe passed out the first time they took her to the hospital and other signs of her weakness in those first meetings before her marriage with Ömer. She says I thought it was only to make your sister happy. I should have thought why you only asked for six months. Ömer says ok it is done; let's not think about these things. She says I can't act like nothing is happening. You need to tell her so she can prepare for the future and give her a chance to fight it. He says I do not want to hear this anymore; once and for all decide whether you will stay and keep this secret with me or…and he leaves the room.

Later Zehra goes to the office and says just listen to me once more. He sits and she tells him with deep concern and patience to think it over; what if Ayşe gets worse and then she tells you why you took away the chance from me of doing the things I wanted to do with my daughter and so on. And that from the brother whom she thinks never lies to her. Ömer appears to be moved. Nihat suddenly comes in and says OK now I've got you; tell me what is it that Ayşe needs to know. Ömer says let me talk with Ayşe first. Ayşe arrives and says what do you want to talk about Abi (Older brother; the term Ayşe uses to address Ömer)?
