Ömer asks about the conversation Sabah had with Zehra on the night of the wedding. Sabah describes everything to him. He is first elated to know that Zehra loves him and then suddenly realizes what a horrendous mistake he has made and his happiness melts. Finally, everything falls into place for him and all doubts are washed away from his mind but what is going to do?

Koray goes to Salim and tells him that he is leaving his job. Salim takes it with understanding and wishes him well. Koray goes for an interview at Ömer's company. Özge interviews him and later selects him after consultation with Nihat.

Ömer goes to the office and does not know how to move ahead. Nihat comes to him and tells him he is ready to listen if he needs someone to talk to. Ömer decides to tell him about the whole affair with Zehra. He tells him all about his reason for marrying Zehra in the beginning and how they later fell in love. He then tells him about how he has mistreated Zehra in an unforgivable way because of what happened at the wedding night and now she wants to divorce him. Nihat is in disbelief. He asks why did you not go and talk with Sabah on the very first day? Ömer says I was too scared of my doubts being right. I did not want to face the possibility that Zehra did not love me. I wanted to hang on to the flicker of hope that I might be wrong. Nihat consoles Ömer and says he should believe in the strength of their feelings for each other. Love will find a way. He tells him to go to Zehra and explain everything and ask for her forgiveness.

At home Zehra is wondering what she will do without Ömer. Bahşende calls her. Zehra goes to her and tells her she has signed the papers and if Ömer does the same, then it will be final. Bahşende assures her that she has done the right thing in taking the first step, otherwise she would have had to face Ömer's rejection.

Zehra goes to her bedroom. She is desolate and cannot imagine a life without Ömer. Asya goes to her and they play with the lamb. Mention of Ömer makes Zehra teary. Susan calls them to the living to have coffee. Ayşe and Cevriye are there. They serve a sweet and mention how Ömer likes it. Zehra almost drops the plate and her tears fall again. Asya says she was also crying in the room. Bahşende comes in and rebukes Zehra for her lack of self control and upsetting Asya. She tells her to go to her room. Zehra goes to her bedroom. Cevriye takes Asya away. Ayşe stays and snaps at Bahşende for mistreating Zehra. Bahşende persists in her ways until Ayşe is overcome with the stressful argument and passes out.

They call the doctor. Ayşe is taken to bed and Zehra sits with her. Ömer returns and looking for Zehra realizes Ayşe has passed out and runs to her room. He then calls Nihat. Nihat thanks Zehra and wants to stay with Ayşe but she asks to have Zehra with her for a while. Ömer thanks Zehra and leaves with Nihat.

Cevriye tells Ömer that Bahşende's bitter tongue regarding Zehra was the cause of Ayşe's collapse. Ömer goes to Bahşende and snaps at her saying everyone in the House is especially careful about Ayşe's health with Zehra on top of that list. He warns Bahşende that she better think twice about choosing her words when she talks about his wife or else.

He then goes to the bedroom and sits on the armchair. Zehra comes in and goes to the bathroom and changes into her pajamas. Ömer stands restless with the necklace he pulled off from Zehra's neck on their wedding night. He just says; I… and can't go on. Zehra stops and asks him to continue but he mumbles. She says if you have nothing to say I am going to sleep. Good night. He mumbles good night.

Teo takes Sabah to breakfast saying Kerem will go with them. Sabah sits with him asking where is Kerem. Kerem is watching from afar. Teo gives her a rose and tells her he loves her. Kerem sees her taking the rose and leaves all upset.

Zehra wakes up. She realizes Ömer is still sitting on the chair awake in his suit. She wonders if he did not sleep all night. He says that he did not and that they need to talk. She says so you have finally made a decision. She sits at the edge of the bed in front of him. He does not speak. She begs him to tell her once and for all that he does not love her. She begs him not to torture her with his silence. Ömer is dumbfounded. Zehra gets up all disappointed to leave. He suddenly grabs her arm and presses her tightly to his chest and finally says:

"How can you think I can let you go? I love you like a madman. You are everything to me. I cannot live without you. I cannot breathe without you. Without you, I would die, I would disappear. Without you, I am nothing!"

Ömer goes home. Bahşende comments on the fact that Zehra is not with him. He curtly confirms that Zehra will be away for the night and goes to his bedroom.

Hamiyyet tells Canan to stay the following day with her uncle since she has to go somewhere. Canan says she has work so Zehra tells them she will stay with Salim. In bed, Zehra keeps remembering Ömer's declaration of love.

In the House, Ömer misses Zehra and lying on her side of the bed, he texts her and they both declare how they miss each other.

Sabah tries to talk to Kerem and see what is wrong with him. He evades talking about things. Sabah finally decides to ask Teo to help him with the problems she is facing with the case he referred to her. Teo calls his friend and fixes the situation and right away puts his hand on hers asking her to let him be his friend. She confirms that they are friends. Kerem sees their hands together and leaves angry.

Ömer arrives to visit Salim with Cevriye. He takes advantage of every appropriate moment to steal a kiss from Zehra's cheek. They talk and eat halva and tea. Salim's customer comes to the door worried that his order won't be ready on time. Ömer identifies himself as Salim's son. Salim likes the sound of that. Salim goes to the workshop to finish the order.

Zehra goes with Salim. Ömer comes. He has called Koray to come and help Salim. Salim is glad to have Koray. Ömer also tries to help but injures his finger. Zehra bandages his finger while he again steals a kiss from her. He asks if she is coming home tonight. She confirms that she will. Zehra says she is going to meet Sabah before coming home. Ömer says he will pick her up from there.

Sabah goes to Kerem while Teo is there and offers them some sweets. Teo invites both of them to the cinema. Kerem notices that Teo is getting calls from someone else and becoming antsy about it. Teo leaves after setting up a meeting place with the two of them. Kerem tells Sabah that he is not going at first and then relents and agrees to go.

Ömer gives Selin a list of purchases in preparation for Zehra's arrival at home. Zehra buys a new dress for herself and one for Canan as well. She gets all dressed and goes to Sabah for a brief visit. She tells her how things have recuperated between Ömer and herself. Sabah is happy for them and says she is thankful that her conversation with Ömer was useful. Zehra is surprised and asks about the nature of the conversation. Sabah explains that Ömer had come and asked her questions about what she and Zehra were talking about on the wedding night. Happiness melts away from Zehra's face when Sabah tells her everything.
