Ayşe just thinks there is something about Hakan's father being sick. Zehra and Ömer relax. Ayşe takes the sleeping child and goes. Zehra calls Şükran and tells her to let her know when Koray goes back and she decides to stay the night with Ömer. They lie down staring at each other. In the morning they oversleep. Zehra wakes him up and they hurry out drawing Cevriye's attention. Ömer drives her back and although Koray has returned, Salim has gone back to the workshop to attend to a customer's call. In the meantime, Ömer goes in and tells Zehra that he will stay for breakfast assuring her that his father would not be annoyed. Zehra is worried but it turns out that Şükran has invited Ömer. They sit to breakfast with Koray, Salim and Şükran. Şükran has invited Ömer to set the date for the event. Ömer has to accept to come the following day to ask for Zehra's hand. They are somewhat frazzled that it is so soon but again Ömer tells Zehra not to worry.

Kerem invites a girl friend, Nurçin to come and help him. They pretend Sabah is just a helping hand. Nurçin is not much skilled in providing domestic and personal help so Sabah still has to manage the situation. Sabah's customers are prepared to buy the house.

Asya is acting difficult at the House. Ayşe calls Zehra. Salim realizes the child is longing after Zehra and gives her permission to go. Ömer happily drives Zehra back to the house and the two of them attend to Asya.

When Sabah is helping Kerem, they fall in each other's arms. Nurçin sees them and thinks they are interested in each other.

Cevriye is trying to find out what is going on with Ömer and Zehra and listens to some of their conversations when they are discussing the situation in the study.

Ömer asks what Cevriye is doing there. She says I realized you needed me, so I told Can to take me where he had taken Zehra. Salim comes and asks them to go in. Cevriye recognizes Salim as the carpenter who had been in the house. She explains that she could be regarded as Ömer's aunt. She speaks highly and warmly of Zehra. Salim also recognizes her and is pleased to see her. They take their places. Zehra prepares the salty and spicy coffee for Ömer and serves it with concern. Ömer drinks it and while it is difficult to down, he refuses an offer of water from Şükran and gives Zehra his compliments for the tasty coffee. Cevriye then asks for Zehra's hand and Salim gives his blessing albeit with some hesitation. The couple kiss the hands of their elders and Sabah arrives and introduces herself. She gives a ten to the groom. Şükran asks her to bring the rings.

Kerem is at home and feels bad about having directed the mafia in Sabah's direction (although he did not realize who the goons were at the time). He decides to go and find Sabah and provide some protection.

As Salim is about to finalize the engagement, the phone rings. It is Zehra's great aunt. She is unhappy that Zehra is being engaged without having obtained her approval. She forbids Salim to go ahead with the engagement. The couple must go and get her blessing before Salim can finalize the engagement. Ömer wants to go right away. Salim says it is too late. They are to leave early tomorrow. Cevriye and Ömer leave.

Sabah stays the night with Zehra who tells her the story of her meeting with Ömer. In the morning Ömer arrives first thing in the morning. They have breakfast and Sabah and Salim talk about Zehra's childhood adventures. Finally, they leave for the village. Aunt Hatice calls Salim and asks about Ömer and when Salim says he is a successful businessman, she does not seem happy.

On the way, Ömer and Zehra stop at a restaurant. The restaurant owner helps them take a picture and comments on how they suit each other.

Sabah returns to her real estate office where Kerem is waiting for her. He is worried for her. They bicker. She tells him not to worry about her and closes the door on him. He does not leave and stays guard at the door in his car.

Ömer and Zehra arrive at Hatice's house. Zehra kisses her hand and her aunt embraces her but does not allow Ömer kiss her hand. Ömer is surprised. They go in and as Ömer begins to talk about asking for Zehra's hand, Hatice stops him and says it is not going to be that easy.
