There is excitement in Salim's garden with wedding preparations. Canan walks around bitter and jealous. Ömer arrives with a decorated car. He takes Cevriye, Canan and Zehra to the hairdresser's.

Kerem asks Sabah to let him fix the tape. She just tells him to leave.

Ömer is waiting for Zehra outside a building. Zehra comes out with her hair done in her wedding dress. Ömer is mesmerized. She comes down and as he puts her hands around her shoulders he says I do not know what I have done to deserve you. She says you entered my life like a miracle. He then asks if she would go with him wherever he takes her. She of course will. He takes her to the water front where they have a photographer take beautiful photos of them. Ömer then puts a necklace on her neck and says before it was just a piece of jewelry; but now it is a masterpiece. Zehra has tears of joy. Ömer promises to make up for all the lost time. Zehra just wants to be in his arms. It is all so perfect, she is afraid that it might all be a dream.

Cevriye and Canan come out of the hairdresser. Canan says she has something to do. She goes to the pharmacy and buys a suspicious drug. She then uses Zehra's money to buy herself a dress and goes to the house.

Ayşe and family get ready to go on a trip. Sabah arrives in black pants and a dress shirt at the kitchen where everyone is preparing the food. Şükran scolds her for her choice of clothing but she has bought her a nice dress to wear to the wedding. She changes into it.

Ömer and Zehra arrive. The guests applaud. They kiss the hands of the elders and sit on their special chairs. They both seem like they could fly. Zehra is worried that Ömer might be uncomfortable because he does not usually like so much ceremony. He says I feel indebted to everyone that has come here because they are here to share in our happiness. They dance. The audience applauds.

Şükran has invited Kerem who comes and sits with Koray. Şükran then gets Kerem to dance with Sabah. Kerem tells her that she looks different and nice. He then goes and sits with her. Kerem is clearly taken with her. Canan prepares drinks for the couple and drugs the drinks. Cevriye comes and says they have to be served in special glasses that she has brought. Another guest comes and takes the drinks Canan has prepared. Later we see them get sick at their table.

Canan prepares another pair of drinks for the couple and takes it to their table. Ömer takes Zehra for another dance. This is a more traditional dance. He tells her to just follow his lead. They mesmerize the audience. When they are done, she tells him that he has truly surprised her. He says there is much more to come. They sit but before they drink from the drugged glasses a child runs into their table and the glasses fall and break. Canan is exasperated.

The guests begin to leave. Zehra goes inside. His father sits with her in her room. He is sad that she she is leaving but gives her his last words of wisdom. He tells her to guard the privacy of her relationship with her spouse and try to solve problems between the two of them.

Ömer gets a call from Hassan Bey about financial matters. He thanks him for informing him. The news changes his mood.

Ayşe calls Cevriye and she says I am just coming. She gets in the car and goes to join them on their trip.

Sabah goes in and sits with Zehra. Zehra talks about the road of hardships that brought her and Ömer to this night. She remembers the difficult times when she had to pretend she loved someone she actually hated, just for the sake of money. And how things completely changed, and she fell madly in love with the same person and the person who hated her turned into someone who would die to save her in a blink of an eye. Sabah tells her not to cry anymore and it is time for her to be happy.

They go out. Ömer and Zehra take leave from her father, Şükran, Hamiyyet and Sabah. Hamiyyet apologizes for Canan's absence. Salim puts on the red ribbon on her waist. Ömer kisses his hand and takes leave from others. He takes Zehra to the car.

Ömer takes Zehra to the bedroom. It is beautifully decorated with new bright curtains and red rose petals on the bed. He kisses her on the forehead and asks if she likes the changes. She says of course and thanks Cevriye for her efforts. He kisses her on the forehead. He then takes her hand, and takes her to the bed. They sit on the bed. He begins caressing her face. Are you happy? He asks. She looks like she is about to fly out fo her skin. She sits shyly allowing him to approach her face for a kiss. He moves gently and lowers his hand on her neck and suddenly pulls the necklace from her neck in one pull and says: "The game is over!" and his face transforms into an angry dragon. She looks at him all lost.

As Ömer's lips linger on Zehra's cheek, Asya runs in shouting "uncle!" Zehra realizes that the change in Ömer is only pretense and a show for the family. Ömer picks up Asya. She says we are back. I missed you, addressing both of them. Zehra is demoralized. Asya says they should go together on a trip someday. Ömer says ok reluctantly. Ayşe and Cevriye come. They sit for a chat. Zehra is standing and her unease is becoming apparent. Ömer is sitting on the sofa with Asya beside him. He taps on the sofa and invites her to sit. Zehra sits. They chat. Asya puts their hands together. He finds a quick opportunity to take his hand away and upset Zehra further.

Halit comes to Kerem's office and thinks it is a grocery shop and asks for tomatoes and cucumbers. Kerem humours him and gets him to sit in the office. He then goes and gets him his produce. When he returns Halit is in another frame of mind. Halit sees the tape and says he has a tape recorder and will bring it for him. He goes off and brings it. His daughter comes and takes him home. Kerem listens to the tape. It is a lullaby possibly sung by Sabah's mother. He puts it in a nice gift box with a bow on it and asks Sabah out for tea. She refuses him bluntly. He gets upset.

Zehra and family eat dinner. Ayşe commends Zehra on her cooking. Ömer says my wife does everything perfectly! Zehra does not know what to feel. Ömer gets up to go to work. Ayşe asks why work so late. He makes some excuse. Zehra runs after him to ask when he will be finished. As the rest of the family is there, he responds looking at them. He says he will be late. Zehra says it is ok; I will wait. He snaps "Don't wait!" But smiles for the sake of the family saying, it may take long. He leaves. Ayşe and Asya leaves. Cevriye asks about the joys of married life all laughing. Zehra tries to keep up appearances. She goes to the bedroom. She wonders what she might have done to make him so upset. She sets out his pajamas and tries to write to him. After many crumpled pages, she gets up to go talk to him. She goes in. He snaps at her saying did I not tell you not to come here. She says we have lots to talk about. She goes closer to him. He snaps and holds out his hand telling her to stay away. Zehra is shocked. He suddenly gets up and takes hold of her nicely "Are you OK?" Zehra is further shocked. Cevriye has come in. She apologizes saying she thought they are not there and wanted to put out the light. Ömer says Zehra was just going to rest. Cevriye says sure let's go together. Zehra leaves reluctantly.

In the morning Zehra sees that the pajamas she had laid out are not touched and says, "he didn't come!"

In the study Ömer is sleeping in his suit with his head on the desk. Hediye comes in. He gets up and says I have fallen asleep. He gets up to leave. Hediye asks where she should put the files on the table. Ömer tells her to leave them in the drawer. He goes in the bedroom. He goes to the bathroom and knocks. She is not there. He wonders where she is. Zehra is not there. She has put out a suit for him again. He changes into another suit. Zehra comes in with a cup of coffee. She says you were not in the study, so I brought you your coffee here. He pauses and then brushes her off and walks toward the door. He accidentally brushes against her and makes her drop the tray. The coffee cup falls and breaks startling her. He feels bad but when Zehra looks at him he pretends he does not care and walks of. She picks up the pieces in tears.

Ömer goes out the door but outside he hesitates and asks Can for a favour. They call Zehra from the company and tell her that they have put the sale of the bags she had designed on hold again. She realizes there will be no payments. She remembers the money and says she should put it back. Then she remembers the photos and goes looking for them in the study but cannot find them. She calls Sabah and makes a plan to meet outside. When she wants to leave, Can says Ömer has asked him to take her wherever she wants to go. She acquiesces. She goes to Sabah and tells her everything. Sabah is absolutely shocked. She is however convinced that Ömer loves her and there is some misunderstanding. She tells Zehra to find out what is the problem and advises her to stay constantly in his face in order to figure out the problem. Zehra goes back with this plan.

Can then takes Sabah home after dropping off Zehra. When he is dropping Sabah off, Kerem sees her and thinks there is a man in her life. Sabah is friendly with Can and invites him to go to her office sometime. Kerem confronts Sabah but his indirect attempts to get her to talk about the guy in the car come to nothing. He goes to Koray and gives him the box and says give it to Sabah but do not tell her I fixed it. Sabah walks in.

Canan dresses up and wears nice jewellery. She tells her mother she is going for a job interview. She meets with Çetin and gives him an expensive watch. He is surprised with the expensive gift.

Koray gives Sabah the tape. She thanks him profusely and makes a snide remark that he is, unlike many who just break and destroy everything, very kind. Kerem gets upset and leaves. Koray tells Sabah he told me not to say but it is Kerem who fixed your tape. Sabah is moved.

Zehra goes to Ömer in the study. She asks him why he is treating him this way. She begins by telling him if it is because of that envelope…Ömer says what envelope. She begs him, "Don't do this to us!" He sniggers at the word "us" saying there is no such thing and says he cannot stand her face. She is very upset and says fine you won't have to see my face again. Zehra goes to Mahalle and is walking to her dad's house at night. She stops at the door saying I am so sorry, Baba, I couldn't keep my promise.
