Ömer goes in and sees her all pale and asks if anything is wrong. She is about to say something but Alev comes in and says are we going Ömer. Zehra says you are leaving. Ömer says I can stay. Zehra says no go. She wonders if it is true and he has really escaped. Ömer tells Alev to wait outside and asks her again if everything is ok. She says it is fine. He says he will go and be back early and asks what she is doing. She says I will be home. He goes. Zehra calls the hospital and tries to get info but they will not give her any news of Yener. She feels she has to assure herself about it and decides to go to the hospital.

Koray sits Yasemin down and tells her that he cannot do that to Salim and take her daughter away without her permission. Yasemin is angry and on the way back runs into Şükran. She tells her that her father wants to send her to the village. Şükran takes her home and tells her to put away her bag before her father sees it. She sits and talks with Salim telling him that he needs to keep his daughter close to him. Salim is still determined to send her.

Mehtap hears that her brother has run away and is mad. Tyfun comes to see her and tells her she better tell them if anything comes up otherwise it would get worse for her brother.

At work Alev talks about the dinner again and Ömer says he will go with Zehra. Alev is miffed and goes to get coffee. Ömer gets a call from the Tyfun that Yener has escaped. He calls Zehra but she does not answer. He remembers the fear in her face in the morning with her phone and realizes she has probably heard. He leaves quickly making Alev mad.

Zehra is walking to the hospital and Ömer drives right in front of her. She asks what are you doing here? What are YOU doing her, he asks. She says Yener has run away and that she needed to find out if it was true. He gets mad that she did not tell him and came alone. She says she did not find the right opportunity to tell him and accepts she made a mistake. He hushes. She says there is more. She gives him the letter. He reads it and crumples it and again says why did you not show this to me from the beginning. Again she says I did not get a chance. He says we live in the same house and in the same…She again accepts she was wrong but also that he has to realize when he is busy he becomes unapproachable. He says there can be no excuse. She accepts that she was wrong; adding that from the beginning she was wrong for believing Yener when he said Ömer was involved in her mom's departure.

Koray goes to Salim; asks for his forgiveness and tells him that his father never acted like a parent to him and thanks Salim for teaching him what true parenthood is and asks that he does not take that away from Yasemin over him. He then tells Salim that he will go away so he does not have to send Yasemin away.

Zehra and Ömer come home. No one's there. They want to go to the bedroom to talk when Nihat comes and greets them. Alev arrives from the back and asks Ömer how come you are home early; didn't you say you had something to do? Nihat says you changed places with Ömer; he should be asking you this question. Alev says I am asking my work partner not my boss! Nihat says don't worry he is with his wife. Meanwhile Zehra and Ömer are looking from one side to the other. Ömer says let's go to the bedroom and they leave. Alev is miffed.

Leyla runs into someone trying to break in to their home at night. Şükran calls Tyfun.

At night Ömer and Zehra enter the bedroom. Ömer says everyone turned in early. Zehra says good; I was tired. He says it probably gets hard for you always pretending. She says no; it's not that. A smile from Ayşe suffices for me. And anyway, I don't have to act with her. Ömer is moved. Zehra says what are we to do with Yener out. Ömer says he might not have run away if you had not gone to the hospital. She says you saw the letter, I thought he might know where my mother is. He says how can you trust someone like him. She says it was not trust; it was just a flicker of hope. They change and get in bed. Zehra apologizes to him for blaming him for her mother's actions. She says I still can't believe how a mother can leave her children. But I feel I wanna know. He says sometimes the things you don't know make you happier. She says you understand me because you mother left too. He says yes. She asks why she left. Words dry up in his throat and he gets out of bed. Zehra reproaches herself for opening his wound.

In the morning Zehra comes in with breakfast. Ömer comes out of the bathroom and sets the table and they sit to eat gözleme. It is hot so Zehra wraps it in a napkin and blows on it before giving it to him. He looks at her, eats and thanks her. Yasemin calls and tells Zehra that Salim wants to send her to the village. She tells Ömer she has to go to Mahaleh. Ömer says it is too dangerous with him out. He then accepts to drive her there.

Ömer drives her there and waits for her to go in. He calls Tyfun but no news of Yener. Zehra talks with her dad but he cannot be dissuaded. She talks with Yasemin and Yasemin tells her that Koray asked for her hand. Zehra tells her that even if she goes to the village it would be for a couple of days and then their father would bring her back. She goes out and Ömer is still there. She goes to the car and tells him that Koray has asked for Yasemin's hand. Ömer is amused and says he is bold.

Hilmi Yilmaz lets Alev know that Yener has escaped. She decides to use that information. Koray goes to tell Yasemin that he is leaving and Salim hears him telling Yasemin to listen to her dad and feels proud. Fikrat comes with his goon to get Koray. Salim stands between them and tells Yasemin and Koray to go in. Koray runs to Salim.

Ömer and Zehra arrive home and Alev comes acting distressed that she was followed by somebody and was scared. The doorbell rings. Flowers for Zehra. Alev says read the note. It is a love note from Yener. She does not know what to say.

Zehra is lost and begins mumbling. Ömer peels Alev off of himself. Alev sneers. Zehra wobbles out of the building reproaching herself for being there. Ömer calls Tyfun asks him to go get Alev. He runs down and stops Zehra outside. She says don't think I am following you. I got a message. He says Alev was being followed so I came. Zehra says I have to go and turns to go. He stops her and says you can't go. She says you can't say if I can or can't go. She is about to go and Ömer asks why did you come? She turns around and shows him the message. He opens the door for her. She sits reluctantly.

Leyla zones out with thoughts of Demir. Şükran wonders what's going on with her. In the car, Zehra remembers all the episodes with Alev rubbing herself against Ömer. They run out of gas. Zehra says that's what happens when you leave with an empty tank. He says did I have a chance? She says yeah, you were very busy! He says excuse me! She says nothing. They sit. She says what should I go get gas or should I get out and push? He gets out irritated and goes to find a station. As he walks up the road; Zehra looks at him annoyed. She gets out and sees an old woman carrying firewood. She tells her that they have run out of gas and offers to help her carry the wood. The old woman thanks her and tells an old man who sits beside the car that Zehra is helping her. Zehra carries the wood to the woman's house and helps her arrange it. She invites Zehra in for a drink of Ayran.

Ömer returns and sees she is not there. The old man tells him that she is helping Amina Hanim and gives him her address. He goes there and knocks on the door asking her why she left without a word and her phone off. Amina begs them not to fight because she would hate to be the cause of a fight between husband and wife. She then invites Ömer in. Zehra says don't ask him; he won't come. Ömer goes in. He takes of his shoes and goes in.

Mehtap follows Betton who meet a stranger he first says is a client but then Mehtap realizes he is a thief and Betton is collaborating with him to influence the real estate prices to their advantage. She tells him to stop doing things her brother's way and she is the boss from now on. Salim remembers Koray telling his father that he won't let them hurt Salim and smiles with pride. He receives a text message from Fikrat saying this business does not end here. He gets worried about Yasemin and goes home.

Ömer and Zehra sit in Amina's sitting room and drink Ayran. Zehra gives him dirty looks and remembers Alev in his arms. The old woman asks Zehra to get more for Ömer form the kitchen. She goes. Amina tells Ömer you love her very much. It shows very well. Ömer looks like he has been caught red handed. She comes back and Amina says we were talking about how much your husband loves you. It unsettles Zehra. She gives him the Ayran and he thanks her.

Yasemin sits in her room looking at photos of Koray longing for him. Salim comes and tells her not to leave the house without informing him and goes to the workshop. Meanwhile Tyfun takes Alev home and Cevriye sees them and asks her what happened to her car. She says I had a minor accident. She goes on and is irritated when Cevriye and later Nihat ask her about the details of the accident.

Amina asks Ömer what did you do to her to make her so upset. He looks at Zehra and Amina says don't steal away your eyes. Zehra looks at him irritated. He says I did not do anything. Zehra throws her eyebrows up. She says why is she so upset then. Zehra says no I am not upset. Ömer asks her did I do something to hurt you? She says I am not upset; you think something should be upsetting me? Ömer says Teyze(Auntie) said so. Zehra says she misunderstood. Amina says perhaps you got the evil eye. You suit each other so much. Zehra says he does not trust me. Ömer says right now, YOU don't trust me! She looks at him meaningfully. You should look for the answer to your problems in your heart and that will solve everything. Zehra gets up and says we need to go. Amina says I won't let you go before dinner. She thanks her and says they have to go but Ömer gets up and says they could stay. Zehra says what are you doing? He says what? I am accepting Teyze's kind invitation. Amina takes Zehra's hand and says let's go and make dinner. They go and Ömer sits amused.

Alev snaps at Nihat for asking about the accident. Ayşe comes and Alev says it's just work matters. As Ayşe is about to leave with Nihat, she asks Alev to tell Hediye Ömer and Zehra will not be here for dinner tonight. Alev is miffed thinking where they might be. Leyla and Şükran watch a TV series together and Şükran criticizes the woman protagonist for refusing good matches. She tells Leyla to give Demir a chance. Leyla says he is only my colleague.

Amina gives Ömer the pincers to handle the chestnuts; Zehra takes over saying he is not doing it properly. She says accept that there are some things you don't know. He says what is there about chestnuts that I don't know. I think you are just trying to quibble. She says I am fine why should I quibble? He says I am fine too. Amina does her Namaz and comes back and says God and his prophet have said staying crossed for more than three days is a sin. So get up; kiss and make up. They kiss each other on the cheek. Now smile at each other, she won't let them go. Zehra smiles, Ömer smiles and is amused by the whole affair. They sit to have the chestnuts.

At home, Cevriye reminds Alev about the joy of finding the right match for herself and Ayşe and Nihat express their love for each other. Alev is annoyed and leaves saying to herself you'll see how happy Ömer and Zehra are when they come home.

Amina gives Ömer and Zehra mattress and sleeping gear to lay their bed on the floor. She also gives them sleeping outfits. Zehra asks him to go out so she can change. Amina is sitting outside so Ömer cannot go. He says I'll turn my back and you change. She says not at all. He then installs a wall with a sheet hanging from one side to the other and Zehra goes behind it. She asks him to turn his back anyways. He does. He turns around once and Zehra sneaks her head out of the sheet and looks at him. He turns and begins taking off his tie as she changes. She comes out and asks what he is doing. He says I am changing. She asks here? He says just my jacket and tie. He thinks her gown is funny. He then goes behind the sheet and changes. She also thinks he looks funny in the pyjamas. She then asks how can they sleep. He says we'll put pillows between us. She says no; that won't work. He says you sleep and I'll sit. She says no; that won't work either; you sleep; I'll sit. They sit side by side in the bed. In the morning they wake up with Zehra's head on Ömer's shoulder and her hand in his arm. Ömer wakes up first and tastes the closeness. She gets up and they look into each other's eyes. She separates herself and starts getting ready silently but with meaningful looks. Ömer does the same. Amina has made fresh bread for breakfast.

Şükran takes food for Salim and Yasemin at the workshop. She tells him to keep Yasemin with him and not send her to the village. Yasemin keeps calling Koray and asking him to answer her because she is heartbroken. Koray listens to the message and then gets a message from his dad saying Salim will also suffer the pains I have suffered. Koray is worried that they would hurt Salim.

Ömer and Zehra arrive home. They sit in the living room. Ömer waits for coffee. Alev comes and is annoyed that they seem fine together. She goes forward and gives him the cufflink saying here is something you dropped at the hotel. Zehra is upset. Ömer takes it reluctantly looking at Zehra. Zehra gets up to leave. Alev sits in Zehra's chair. Zehra looks back and is further annoyed. Alev asks Ömer why he is not thanking her. Ömer follows Zehra oblivious to Alev.

A suspicious man is taking pictures in the garden. Zehra comes out onto the verandah. He sneaks to a hiding place in front of Ömer and Zehra's verandah. Zehra is very upset. Ömer walks onto the verandah and up to her. She tries to hide her feelings. He asks is anything bothering you? The guy takes a photo. She wants to leave, he takes her arm and stops her. Ömer goes on: I ask again, is anything bothering you? She says if it is or not; it's not your business. He says if there is anything, let's talk about it. She indicates no and begins to leave. She says from the back; don't tell me you feel jealous! She stops, turns around and stands face to face with him. The guy aims at them with a gun.
