Ömer tells Salim that he and Zehra have been married for around a year. He says there has been nothing between them and it was done to save Salim's and his sister's lives. He adds that Zehra is innocent and begs him to keep that in mind when talking to her. He says that at first they were pretending but then things changed between them.

Salim is angry and tells him to get out. Ömer leaves. Salim calls Zehra and reproaches her for lying to him for so long. Zehra cries and when Ömer comes she realizes he is the one who has told her father. She wants to go to Salim. Ömer takes her. Meanwhile Salim has a stroke and falls in front of his store.

Sabah finds out that Kerem is the son of the owner of the house. She also finds out that he is a playboy. When Kerem finds out she has hit him on the head, he pretends that he is badly injured to get her to give him some service. They basically try to get back at each other in their own ways.

When Zehra goes to the workshop, Koray says he has not seen Salim. Ömer and Zehra start searching for him in the neighbourhood. Finally, Ömer makes a call and gets his people to search for Salim. They find out that Salim is in the hospital. Zehra is distraught. They go there and inquire. When they enter the room where they have been sent to, there is no patient there and the orderly fixing the bed tells them the person who was in the bed is dead.

Zehra and Salim go home in cab. Ömer follows in his car. He watches them as they get off and go in. Salim stumbles but will not have Zehra help him. He does not talk to Zehra. Zehra tries to tend to him giving him his slippers and making him soup. He does not drink. Ömer waits outside all jittery. He wants to ring the bell and go in but decides otherwise. Zehra finally comes out to go get his father's meds. She cries saying her father does not even look at her face. He makes her laugh saying she should not cry or passersby will think why this fellow is making this beautiful girl cry so much. Zehra is worried that his father will get further upset if he sees Ömer. Ömer assures her that Salim will not see him until he has completely recovered.

Sabah changes her business name to Sabah Real Estate and then realizes she has forgotten her bike at Kerem's place. She goes there and realizes he has crushed it with his car. They argue again about whose fault it is. Sabah finds Kerem's phone in the house and calls and invites three of the women on his contact list. They come at night as he is going to meet Arzu and he gets a beating from all of them and finally from Arzu. Kerem and Sabah again scream at each other.

Salim goes to bed without drinking the soup. Zehra cries some more. Salim leaves without talking to Zehra. Ömer calls and realizes she is really upset. Zehra talks to Koray and Koray informs her that Salim is at the workshop. Ömer asks Zehra to meet him at the waterfront. She agrees reluctantly and there he tries to console her and assure her that her father just needs time to come to terms with everything. Zehra tells Ömer that she wants to warn him that she will not continue her relationship with him if his father does not consent. She says she cannot upset him again. She returns home. Salim returns from the workshop. Zehra cries and begs him to forgive her.

Ömer goes to the office and is desolate. He cannot allow anything take Zehra away from him.

Salim comes back from the washroom and walks toward Zehra. Zehra gets up with expectation.
