Zehra says I will fight for our love. No matter how you insult me and degrade me. I am staying not because I have no honour or pride but because I know I have done nothing wrong. He says of course, you will stay and understand every minute of my distaste for you. Zehra says if this is because of the envelope, I did something for a loved one. He says you cannot love anyone but yourself. She suddenly says but I have loved you, loved you so much! Ömer is arrested with the indelible authenticity of her confession. Again, he pulls himself out of it and walks away. She leaves and says I will stay and show you I am not the person you think I am. Zehra steps out and tells herself to be strong.

Kerem is upset about Can. Ati brings tea for him and appears to be sick so Kerem tells him to take it away. Kerem gets a call for an important deal for his business. Later Ati serves tea for him again and looks worse. On his way out Ati faints. Kerem runs to help him. He tells Sabah to call for a taxi to take him to the hospital.

Zehra goes in the hall and meets Müge who is sitting with Ayşe and Asya. Later Ömer comes and meets her. He says now that Asya has a new playmate, she would not need Zehra to play with so much. Asya contradicts her and says she will always love playing with Zehra. Ömer says I am jealous. Asya says you can play with us too. He says but I am not good at playing games like Zehra Auntie!!!

Ömer then wants to take his leave. Zehra gets up and asks him what he would like for dinner. He says not to bother as he is going to be late. She says OK then I will see you off. He can't stop her in front of Ayşe but leaves quickly. In the foyer, Zehra catches up with him, stops him and begins fixing his tie pin. They are caught in the intimate moment. He again pulls himself out and takes her hands off his chest. Hediye Abla passes so he hesitates. When they are gone he is about to say "if you once more…" Zehra goes on her toes and kisses him on the cheek. He is arrested. She looks at him like a little girl in love. She glows. He wants to say something. He can't. She says have a wonderful day! He leaves.

Zehra goes to the bedroom pleased with her effort. She begins tidying up the room. Putting Ömer's clothes away and placing his pajamas and fixing his slippers beside the bed. She looks at the broken frame with their picture and says I will fix everything.

Müge gets up to go to the washroom and sneaks into Ayşe and Nihat's bedroom and looking at the photo says she will claim Nihat back.

Kerem and Sabah take care of Ati and take him to Kerem's house to recuperate. Kerem does not even leave when he gets a call for business and loses the deal. Sabah is impressed. they call the doctor when Ati's fever rises. When he falls asleep Sabah makes coffee for them both and they take it outside. She tells her that he has changed from a selfish boy to someone very nice. The doorbell rings. Ayhan Abi arrives. Kerem wants to apologize for being there but Ayhan tells Kerem that his father has now allowed him to use the house and car again. He is basically being rewarded for being a kind and responsible son.

Ömer goes to the office and remembers Zehra's kiss and burns with desire for her. He calls Can to bring him a file from his study. Özge has joined them from another company. She used to work for them before but has now changed departments. Nihat talks with her and Selin takes her to show her the office.

Zehra is in the kitchen making a shopping list. When Zehra hears Can is going out, she brings the frame and asks Can to get it fixed. Can goes to Ömer to deliver the file. He then asks for permission to go and fix the frame Zehra gave him. Ömer takes it and throws it on the table. He says he will fix it himself. When he leaves he takes it and looks at it and turns it face down.

Canan goes to Çetin and tells her she needs her money. He comes up with excuses to say it might not be possible. He was expecting more money from her. She leaves and Çetin gets a call. He needs money to pay his debt or he will be in big trouble.

Zehra sees Can at home, she asks if he had time to fix the picture. He says Ömer took it. Zehra thinks to herself, he probably cannot bear to see their picture even.

Ömer arrives late at night and goes to the bedroom. Zehra is asleep in her red dress on the covers. He looks at her and remembers her kiss. His face is bright. He puts the frame on the chest. He goes to his side of the bed and remembers her kiss again. He stretches beside Zehra on the bed and approaches her with longing and is about to caress her face.

Zehra pulls Asya off the fence. Müge runs to them pretending she had just gone for water. She begs Zehra not to tell Ayşe about her error. Zehra thinks it was just a mistake and decides not to mention it.

Zehra smells the roses on her night table and calls Sabah. Kerem is driving Sabah to the government office to figure out the matter. She tells her about the positive developments. Sabah is happy for her. Ömer enters the room and asks what the flowers are. Zehra says you sent them. She gives Ömer the note. He reads it and says you did not think that I would send you these, right? I did not, and I am sure you guessed it. Zehra shudders and tells him why do you try so hard to hurt me? He says what you are getting is what you deserve, probably watered down. She says, watered down? What would please you then? How about if I died? Would that satisfy you then? He is shocked into silence and leaves. Zehra ponders and realizes it must have been Ayşe who sent her the flowers.

Şukran and Hamiyyet are preparing for a religious gathering celebration for tomorrow. Many friends and neighbours will come to hear the Koran recitation and pray.

In the study Ömer remembers Zehra referring to her death and gets further irritated. Look at what she is saying? If her death would satisfy me! Zehra comes in and tells him you need to do something for me. Something romantic like a present or a dinner. Ömer is annoyed and says, are you joking with me? She says no but everyone expects something like that from you. The roses were a reminder to you. He says coldly he will think of something.

Canan goes to meet Çetin and before meeting up overhears him talking to his peers and realizes he is a cheat. She goes back home in tears.

Ömer goes to the living room. Ayşe is there. He thanks her for arranging the flowers. She is happy that he is pleased and says now the ball is in your field to do the rest. He realizes Zehra was right.

Müge is playing with Asya in the living room. Asya tells her that she loves her doll. Müge takes out a pair of scissors and cuts its head off. Asya cries. She says I am doing it for your own good because we sometimes have to part with those we love. When Ayşe comes, Müge talks with Ayşe in private saying there is anger in Asya and now she is also lying. Ayşe is shocked and feels helpless. Müge assures her that they can solve it with time. When Asya comes and Müge asks her to apologize for cutting off the doll's head; as she cuddles against her mother, she says I won't apologize because I did not do it, she did it (pointing at Müge). Ayşe thinks Müge was right.

Zehra puts Ömer's pajamas on the bed and his slippers beside it. She puts a glass of water on his night table and gets in bed and begins reading. He comes in. She asks, did you think of something. He snaps saying you said it once and I said I'd take care of it. Next time also put reminders of your birthday, so no one would forget! She jumps asking if he really does not remember her birthday. He says I only remember important matters. She says why do you try to so hard to hurt me. He leaves the room saying when I come back, have the lights off; I want to sleep. She gets up annoyed and says, have the room; I'll read in the living room and goes out. She comes back and Ömer is asleep. She goes to his side and mumbles sadly, you have not forgotten my birthday, right? She suddenly drops her book. Ömer wakes up and says what's up. She quickly goes to her side and gets in bed. They are back to back in the dark. Ömer remembers her saying I want you to hear the true voice of your heart. He turns around toward her and thinks with longing that the voice she is talking about is buried too far deep!

Sabah is in Kerem's office all desolate. Koray comes and suggests that she take a corner of Salim's workshop to do her work. She agrees and goes. Later when she comes to get some of her things through the door in Kerem's office, Kerem offers that they go eat. She says she has to go to Şükran's and leaves. Kerem misses her.

Ömer calls Zehra from the office and tells her that he will pretend he has prepared a surprise dinner and she can put on her usual happy wife act in front of everyone.

At the prayers in Salim's home Zehra, Canan, Koray and everyone else go through a brief meditative exercise as the Hoca recites. They each appear to be reflecting on their lives and praying for solutions to their problems. Zehra prays that she never has to separate from Ömer. She then helps with the food service even though she should get back home as soon as possible. Canan does not help.

Zehra returns home. In the kitchen, Ayşe, Cevriye and Hediye are preparing a romantic dinner for the couple. She discreetly reveals she knows what they are doing and then changes their plans saying let us celebrate together with all the family. They agree.

Çetin is stalking the Kervancioglu House. He turns and is shocked by the person who has spotted him.

Everyone is in the living room waiting for Ömer. He finally comes. When he realizes the celebration is going to include the family, he says well I had made reservations. Now that we are going to stay, let me at least give Zehra her present. He takes out a red jewelry box. Inside is the necklace he had torn off her neck on their wedding night. Zehra shudders when she sees it. He asks her permission to put it on her neck. He does, and she suddenly breaks down into uncontrollable tears.
