Ömer gives her a handkerchief and tells her do not cry we won't let your father find out. Yasemin comes and Ömer leaves. Yasemin asks wasn't it the guy who saved us? I thought he was the police. Zehra says he is my boss and I had asked him to help find you. They go in. Yasemin describes how Ömer faced Fikrat without fear and put himself is danger. She adds that he is also very handsome. Zehra changes the subject and tells her that Funda has spread it in the neighbourhood that you and Koray ran away together. Yasemin says I will deal with her. Yasemin also comments on how Ömer was looking longingly at Zehra.

Şükran arrives from Germany and is angry with the taxi for charging her too much. Tyfun arrives and the driver packs it in. Şükran pays him and then gets Tyfun to drive her home. She tells him that she has just arrived from abroad and is happy to be back and that she will also help him find a nice rental apartment in her area.

At the office Ömer realizes Demir is upset when he wants to say something Leyla comes in and Demir hushes and changes the subject. Ömer wants to talk to Alev but they tell him she is not at the office today. Ömer is miffed.

Zehra comes out and calls Ömer. She tells him that she told Yasemin he was her boss. Ömer says what else. She says he asked about how you got to help them. Zehra also tells him that she has told Zehra how he bravely put himself in danger to save her. Ömer skips it and says she is probably exaggerating because she was afraid. She says anyway she wanted to say now that Yasemin has seen him it is best if he does not show himself too much in Mahalleh. He says sure I will be more careful.

They deliver a letter for Zehra. Nazan takes it and wants to give it to Alev when Cevriye arrives and takes it from her hand saying I will give it to her. Alev arrives and Nazan tells her what happened. Behind the wall Cevriye hears how they want to get the letter from her. Ömer calls and is angry that Alev is not at work. She says I am not well. Alev tells Nazan go get the letter for me before Zehra arrives. Cevriye is determined to keep it safe.

Yasemin calls Koray and asks where he is staying. She tells him what Funda has done and her father is not talking to her. Koray says he is kind. He will forgive you. Make some Dulmas and take for him. He would not be able to resist it. She says ok and then I will meet with you. She makes the food and takes it to his father but he does not talk to her. She leaves the food and goes out. She calls Funda and goes and snaps at her. She also tells her that she and Koray are in love and she better get that through her head. She leaves. Funda calls Alper and wants to go on with her efforts. Alper says let go Funda. Koray's dad could not separate them, be sure that you won't be able to do it either. Funda is mad. Yasemin then goes to Koray and they talk. Cevriye sits with Müzeyyen and Ayşe to have coffee. She talks about the letter. Alev says Zehra's friends are museum pieces like her still writing letters. Müzeyyen is shocked. She says we grew up with letters. They are very special. Cevriye also talks of the merits of letters. Ayşe says I don't remember the last time I wrote a letter. Alev tries to take the letter and the other women are shocked at her. Cevriye takes it and leaves.

Ömer thinks about what Zehra said. He has two meetings. Demir wants to talk to Leyla. Zehra comes with four coffees. Demir and Leyla smile at the fourth coffee for Ömer. Zehra takes it to his office. Ömer calls Nihat to his office and tells him the rates given in the dossier will not win them the project. Nihat looks at them and says Alev has changed these and is angry. Ömer says you are responsible for the file. He says get the explanation from Alev and leaves angry. He sees Zehra going in with the coffee. He offers to give her a lift home but she says she'll go later. He says to himself the contract marriage is turning into real Love!

Zehra goes to Ömer and tells him she has brought coffee. Ömer jumps to it. She also takes out some sweet. He takes the cake and coffee and asks if it is carrot cake. He eats with relish. Zehra talks about how Yasemin has told her that he put himself in danger. He tries to change the subject. She keeps on. Where did you buy the cake? He asks. It is very delicious. Zehra says when I heard the gunshot…He continues to change the subject. You still didn't tell me where you got it from. They smile at each other. Demir comes and Ömer has to go. He says Leyla is in her office so Zehra can go to her. Ömer says invite Leyla to dinner. He also asks Demir and says Tyfun is coming too. Demir says I have an appointment so I can't come.

Cevriye falls asleep and Alev wants to get the letter. Cevriye takes it and goes to her room. Nihat sees Alev and tells her that Ömer wants an explanation for the prices you have changed and tells her to inform him of changes next time.

Zehra wants to leave and Ömer sees her earring on the floor. He gets it for her. She wants to put it on. It falls again and they both reach for it. They stare at each other. He offers to put it on her ear. He does it. They are both absorbed by each other and the sensations of their proximity. She leaves but not before she has looked back.

Salim skips Yasemin's food and is eating a store sandwich. He remembers Yasemin talking to her and loses appetite. Koray comes and he snaps at him telling him to get out. He says I have brought the keys. He tells him to put them on the table. Koray says Yasemin is not at fault. Everything happened because of me.

Alev tries to distract Cevriye by asking for tea and then sends Nazan to search her room. Nazan finds an envelope and gives it to Alev but when she opens it, it is a funny picture of Nihat and herself. Alev goes crazy and Cevriye laughs with herself at what she has done. Alev snaps at Nazan.

Zehra enters the bedroom and taking off the earrings remembers Ömer putting it on. She then looks at the pieces of jewelry he has given her. Ömer takes Leyla to go for dinner at the house. Demir says have fun and comments on Tyfun being there. Leyla notes it and says nothing.

Beton is not at the shop and Mehtap gets annoyed with him when he comes.

At the house Ömer talks with Tyfun and realizes he needs a place and promises to help. Zehra comes. She has changed and is also wearing the necklace he bought for her. Ömer is overjoyed seeing it. Ayşe and Cevriye comment on how beautiful it looks. He gets a call and goes into the study. Cevriye gives Zehra the letter. She takes it out and is upset by the letter. Alev gets up to go to her but she leaves the room. In his study Ömer is told that Yener has attempted to commit suicide in prison.

Alev asks Ömer why he went pale. He closes the laptop and says it is something about a friend and it does not concern you. She tries to push it and Ömer looks at her crossed. Meanwhile Zehra comes out of the hospital and Beton is on her trail. She is mad at Mehtap for lying to her. She calls Ömer but he does not answer. In the office, Ömer tells Alev let's get to work. He says you have been negligent of your work lately; no matter what, you cannot raise these prices because it means losing our shot at getting the deal. Alev says I am also very concerned about work but you are more important. Before we used to be close and you shared everything with me but now. Ömer says is it not normal? Now I share things with my wife! Alev hushes and they sit to work. She tells him that if you look at the bottom line you will see that our profit remains the same. He says I need to see all the prices. Alev says all of them right now? He says yes. She goes to get them. Zehra calls again and Ömer does not answer.

Salim is angry with Koray over his marriage proposal for Yasemin and tells him to get out. He then wonders if they are still meeting. He goes home and Yasemin is there. He tells her angrily you don't have to bring food to the workshop anymore. You'll go from home to class and from class home.

Tyfun meets with Mehtap who has been told by Şükran to find a house for him. They recognize each other and the meeting is awkward. Tyfun goes off and sees Şükran who tells him there is a house in her neighbourhood that he can rent and they will also feel safer with him being there. He accepts.

Ömer is angry in the office. Demir comes in and he shows him the photo. Demir says Zehra probably has a logical explanation why she went there and you should trust her. You should also ask yourself why you are so mad.

Zehra arrives at the office and sees Mehtap and tells her Yener had nothing to tell her and why she lied to her. Mehtap grovels and Zehra goes to Ömer's office. Alev is there. When Zehra walks in Alev says Ömer; we have to be close like before so we can get the work done. She adds that she will bring the files home so they can finish it tonight. She apologizes to Zehra saying when they get down to work they forget themselves. She leaves. Ömer asks why did you come. Zehra says I thought we would go home together but it appears you are busy I can go. He says now that you have come; wait we'll go. Alev comes with a box of chocolate and says I got a friend to bring me your favourite chocolates from the US; would you like one and she opens the box holding it out to him. Zehra is feeling upset. He says that is nice; maybe later. She says she can go home with them because her car is in the shop getting fixed. They wait for her. He asks Zehra why she kept ringing him; she says to go with him and he is upset that she is keeping the truth from him. Alev brings the chocolates and Ömer says good; it will be nice after dinner. Zehra notes Alev flirting with Ömer and shows silent irritation.

Koray wants to see Yasemin but Şükran calls and she says I can't come. Şükran notes that Yasemin and Salim are upset. Ömer, Zehra and Alev go home. Nihat and Ayşe are there. Alev asks Ömer if they will go over the file later. He confirms. Then she says you will come to the business dinner in two days right? He says yes. Zehra looks at him and is upset. Alev says I'll put the chocolate in the kitchen we'll eat it together after dinner. He nods and Zehra notes it. They go to their room. Alev notes that there is something going on between them. Nihat asks Alev for a piece of chocolate; she refuses. Ayşe and Nihat giggle.

In the bedroom Zehra says again you did not tell me about the dinner. He says I will go alone. She says still you should have told me so that we do not give away anything. He says are you trying to create problems again? She is shocked and says what do you mean. He leaves. She gets angry with herself for not telling him everything. Ömer is in the study. Alev comes with the file and then goes to get coffee "as she always did before". Zehra comes in. She tells him that Yener has committed suicide. He is silent and she asks are you not going to say something. Ömer asks indifferently if he is dead. She says no and that she knows it because she went to the hospital. Alev comes and she cannot go on any further and Ömer gets back to work not minding her. He is giving her the indifferent treatment!!

In the bedroom Zehra waits for him and he is late. Suddenly she hears him and jumps in bed with her robe and covers her head. He comes in and wonders why she has not separated the beds and if she did not expect her. He pulls the spread off and asks if she is going to sleep like that. She says I thought you might be with Alev. She says are you not going to ask me why I went there. He says do I need to. She says I wanted to tell you from the beginning but just couldn't find the chance. I went there because I heard he knows something about my mom. Just that. You are angry! He looks at her and is softening a bit. I am tired, he says; I want to change and sleep.

In the morning Alev gives a photo of herself and Ömer and tells Nazan to put it in the bedroom among Ömer's stuff somewhere conspicuous. Salim walks with Yasemin some way and then they separate and he tells her to go to class and back home and that he has work to do today and will be late. He then gets a call from someone. Yasemin goes to Koray and Koray tells him that he asked for her hand from Salim. Yasemin is shocked. Salim calls Yasemin and she texts back that she is in the class and cannot talk. Salim appears there and is mad at them and tells Yasemin that he is sending her to the village to stay with her aunt. At home Salim tells Yasemin to pack her bags. She decides to run to Koray.

Demir calls Leyla and she takes another day off to be with Şükran. Şükran wants to take some food to Tyfun and go together and Leyla realizes who their new neighbour is. Şükran says Leyla made the food and gives it to him. Later Demir goes to Leyla saying he was worried about her and sees Şükran there and is relieved.

In the morning Zehra wakes up. Ömer's bed is made and he is gone. She goes into the living room. Ömer is sitting with Alev and Alev talks about the nice restaurant she has reserved for the business dinner and rubs herself against him about how things go well when he is there and they work together. Zehra sits on the side and feels uncomfortable when they talk about working together all day. She goes to the kitchen. Nazan indicates to Alev that she has installed the photo. Ömer goes to his room and sees the photo in his book beside the night table. He wonders what it is doing there. Zehra walks in; he throws it in the book and goes to the bathroom. She notices it. She wants to show him the letter. He comes out and leaves quickly saying he has to get his phone. She puts back the letter and goes to the book and sees the photo. She remembers Alev telling her that Ömer could never love a common girl like her and Sevim telling her that Alev is after her husband. She wonders what's going on between them and if they truly were close before. She just wants to show him the letter when her phone rings. It is Yener. She does not respond. He texts her that he is free now and is coming to get her.
