Zehra goes to Ömer and does not feel good about hiding things from him. They make a date to meet on the verandah after Ömer is finished working.

They fall asleep in each other's arms. In the morning Zehra comes to the bedroom and Ömer comes with wet hair to find her looking for him. Zehra tells him that he needs to get close to his mother. He evades a response by embracing her and holding her tight.

They once more go to Jülide. Zehra urges Ömer to help his mother with the breakfast. Jülide feels full so Ömer leaves. He still feels awkward. He goes to his office.
