Ömer is shocked. Are you going to leave me? Ömer asks, revealing his greatest fear. Zehra says did you ever think that the reason for it is because you left me! Ömer promises that the things that happened will never happen again. He wants to caress her, but she pushes him away. She says you killed the little hope I had in my heart.

Ömer goes to the office. He is falling apart. Nihat comes and Ömer tells him what is going on. Nihat tells him not to give up. He says Zehra's severe reaction is exactly because she loves him so much. He adds that she is probably hurting as much as he is hurting.

Hamiyyet has to go to the country because a relative has passed away. She calls Zehra and tells her to keep an eye on her dad. She goes there right away. Zehra and Salim talk about Yasemin's separation from Koray. Salim tells her that he is not mad at Yasemin and understands her. He tells Zehra he will stand by his daughters' decisions at all times and does not want them to be unhappy under any circumstances. Zehra constantly looks as if she is on the verge of telling him everything.

Ömer tells Nihat the details of his marriage to Zehra and Ayşe's sickness. Nihat is mad at first that Ömer has hidden this from him. Ömer explains himself and says Nihat would not have been to keep it from Ayşe and that would have been fatal. He adds that the only reason Zehra is allowing herself to consider divorce is because Ayşe's doctor called and told them she has completely recovered. Nihat calms down and accepts Ömer's explanation and thanks him for his efforts.

Ömer goes home and Bahşende tells him critically that Zehra has gone out but not told them where to. He snaps back saying she is an adult and can go wherever she wants. He steps out and calls Zehra. Zehra is ironing his father's shirt and does not answer. Salim asks who it was, and she says it was Ömer, but she can answer after she is done ironing. Ömer calls again. Salim tells her to answer so she does. He asks where she is, and she tells him.

Kerem meets Teo and warns him against hurting Sabah. Teo tries to brush him off. Kerem pushes him against the wall and tells him to watch what he is doing.

The door bell rings at Salim's. Zehra opens the door thinking is it Şükran. It is Ömer. She asks why he is there. He says he is there to visit his father who was sick. She is irritated. He goes and sits with Salim. Zehra goes to make tea but is talking to herself all annoyed by Ömer's persistence. He goes into the kitchen and realizes why she has gone there. He says he wants to talk about her last words and grudgingly mentions the word divorce. She says this is not the time. She adds that she has not told her father. He looks hopeful at this statement. So, she says she has not told her father, emphasizing the word "Yet"! He goes back to Salim.

Kerem goes home. He is sick. Koray arrives and sees him in that state. He calls Sabah and the two of them make soup and squeeze juice for Kerem and take care of him.

Ömer has dinner with the family. Everyone commends Zehra on her cooking. Zehra is curt with Ömer and comments on his eating too much. He is relentless and says it is very tasty. Later Zehra says Ömer can take Şükran home and go from there. Ömer says he is planning to stay so he will take Şükran and then return. Zehra is further annoyed.

Zehra wants to make a bed for Ömer in the living room. Salim will not hear of it and says he will give them his bedroom. Zehra has to accept sleeping in Canan's room with him. Ömer puts on a pair of pajamas and looks funny because they are very small. He steps toward Zehra and takes her hands and begs her to forgive him. She pulls away her hands and turning off the light goes to bed turning her back on him. Ömer lies on the sofa staring at her.

In the morning Ömer is all dressed. He sits beside her bed. She is sleeping. He says I will never give you up and leaves. Zehra opens her eyes once he leaves.

Salim is in the living room. Zehra comes and says Ömer must have left for work. The door bell rings. She opens the door. It is Ömer. He has brought fresh bread. Salim gets up saying he must leave for work. Zehra goes to make breakfast. Canan also has to leave quickly. Ömer asks Zehra to sit so they can talk. He says you made a decision about the divorce on your own. I know I have made grave mistakes, but all those mistakes cannot end this love. Zehra suddenly remembers him pulling off the necklace from her neck on the night of the wedding and falls apart. She gets up and runs out of the house. Ömer follows her and she begs him not to follow her as she needs to be alone.

Zehra walks into a playground and sits on a bench. She takes out her phone and calls her lawyer asking him to begin filing for divorce.

Ömer is distraught. Ayşe asks if anything is wrong. He says it is something to do with work and asks to be excused from the table. Bahşende asks him to stay but he says he will be back immediately. He goes into the study and asks Zehra in his head how she could do this to them He remembers her telling him that she cannot endure living like this anymore and wants a divorce. He lashes out against the things on his desk and then crashes down onto the chair repeating to himself that he cannot lose Zehra.

Bahşende asks Zehra to go and get Ömer. Zehra goes into the study and sees the room in disarray. Ömer is sitting down with his head in his hands looking desolate and helpless. She calls out his name gently and asks him to pull himself together. He lifts up his head and says your lawyer called. I did not believe things would go so far.

He walks up to her and says I will make it up to you. I will not let you go. She says what you have done to me, cannot be remedied. He puts her hand on his heart and says this heart only beats for you. Zehra says that doesn't change anything. She then asks him to come back to the table.

Ayşe comes into the room and seeing the state of the room thinks they might have had a fight. Zehra covers everything up saying Ömer is upset over something related to work. Ömer is too broken to say anything. Ayşe asks him not to upset himself over work. Zehra and Ayşe return to the table. Ömer lingers a bit longer to pull himself together. At the table they talk about how Ömer has changed since his marriage to Zehra and become a gentler soul.

Ömer finally returns to the table. They serve his favourite dessert. He clearly has no appetite for anything.

Kerem speaks with Sabah and finds himself rejoicing at the fact that Sabah was never interested in Teo. At Salim's Hamiyyet serves food with supplies she has brought from the country and they talk about the high quality of the food. Canan says she does not like the food or the country lifestyle. The adults laugh.

Ömer thanks his grandmother for the dinner and excuses himself. He goes outside. Nihat follows him and again tries to boost his morale. Nihat insists that Zehra loves Ömer and it is exactly because of that, that she is so hurt by his mistreatment. He tells Ömer that you just have to persist in showing her how much you love her.

Ömer goes into the bedroom and sees Zehra on the edge of the bed. He sits opposite her and tells him that he cannot agree to the divorce because he loves her. He then asks her if she can truly tell him that she does not love him. Zehra hesitates and tells him she does not have to tell him anything. Ömer says she does not need to tell him anything because he can see her love for him in her eyes. She says even love cannot afford to forgive some things. Ömer says but you can if you want to. He says I will not let you kill this love. She says you killed the love by not trusting me.

She sleeps. Ömer stays up on the chair all night staring at her. In the morning he tells him that he cannot resign himself to a life without her. She snaps back by saying how he destroyed the most beautiful and meaningful night in their lives because of a misunderstanding without even giving her a chance to explain. He says he was too scared to ask her about it and have to deal with the possibility that she really hated him, that she could not stand him. He says he could not live without her then or now. He kisses her hand, but she pulls back again. She says she cannot continue her life with someone who does not trust her. She says she will wait until he has told Ayşe everything and then she will tell her father.

Kerem dreams about Sabah. He tells Sabah at the office that he had a nice dream. Sabah says if you don't say it to anyone it can come true. Canan notices something between Kerem and sabah. Sabah drops her scarf at Kerem's door. He takes it and begins reflecting aloud about his feeling for her. Canan overhears Kerem.

Ayşe tells Nihat she is bored of sitting at home and wants to begin some kind of work. She decides to discuss it with Zehra.

Ömer is in the study. Nihat arrives and asks for some papers. Ömer takes them from the drawer. With it, there is the CD Alev left when she was leaving. Nihat wonders what is on it. Ömer says he does not want it in anyone's hands. Nihat takes it and wants to see it. He promises to get rid of it. Ömer's mind is somewhere else. He leaves. Nihat looks at the CD and realizes it is a photo of the contract Ömer had prepared for Zehra to sign before their marriage. He wants to hide it from Ayşe.

Ömer goes into the living room. Zehra is talking with Ayşe. He thinks she is telling her about the divorce. He tries to intervene and then realizes Zehra just wanted to talk to her about the ring her grandmother recently gave her. Zehra later tells him, he has once more proven to her that he does not trust her. Did she not tell him, that she sould wait for him to explain everything to Ayşe first? Ömer is stumped.

Nihat goes into the bedroom to say goodbye to Ayşe. Ayşe talks about starting her own business with Zehra. Nihat inadvertently drops the CD beside the bed and the night table.

Ömer gets in his car and drives off beating himself up over disappointing Zehra again. His state of mind makes him unfit for driving and he is about to drive head to head into a truck driving in the opposite direction.
