Ömer wants to go in and talk to Hatice but Zehra stops him and goes in herself. She asks Hatice why she is so mad at them. Hatice says it is not your fault. I have given him my piece of mind.

Zehra tells Ömer that Hatice seems determined not to give them her blessing. Ömer cannot understand why. The neighbours Nurhan and her son arrive with some börek. She goes in with Zehra to thank Hatice for taking care of the cow. Ömer talks with her son who begins commenting on the wall. He says it is a job well done. Ömer says but Hatice did not like it. The guy asks what happened and when Ömer explains, the guy tells him that Hatice did not like it because Ömer had not done it himself. If she asks Ömer to do something, she expects him to do it himself and not get others to do it. Ömer suddenly realizes what he has been doing wrong.

Kerem locks Sabah inside the office so she does not go out while the mafia goons are there. She can't find the keys and the locksmith is away. She goes to her bedroom to sleep. Kerem sleeps on the office chair.

They all sit to enjoy the börek. Nurhan asks Ömer where he is from, if he has a job and insurance and if his income is enough to raise a family and if he has done his military service. He confirms everything with humility, although Zehra giggles a bit. Nurhan tells Hatice that they are lucky, because he is also very handsome and polite.

Zehra wants to leave later saying they can't get Hatice's consent, but Ömer says let's stay another night. The next morning Hatice wakes up thinking Ömer would be asleep but he has already risen, fired the oven, fed the cows and covered the firewood. Hatice is impressed but says nothing and takes Zehra to the vegetable patch.

At the patch Zehra once again asks Hatice why she is resisting against Ömer. Hatice says these people only think about money. Zehra contradicts her and says he and his family are not like that and they all love her very much. When Zehra says that she loves Ömer, Hatice remembers an echo from her past. Possibly Zehra's mother telling her in the same way that she loves a man. Hatice passes out as she remembers that.

Zehra cries out and calls Ömer to come for help. He goes there, and they get Hatice in the car and Ömer begins to drive to a hospital. On the way Hatice comes to and demands that they return her to her house. They finally acquiesce and go back.

Sabah finds the keys in Kerem's pocket and wants him to leave in the morning. Salim arrives, and she hides him. She has to leave with Salim. When she comes back Kerem is in the office with Şükran. Kerem has introduced himself as Sabah's friend from school. Şükran is pleased to meet him and offers him börek. She also says he will have to meet Salim as well. Sabah is annoyed. Once Şükran leaves, she locks Kerem in the office and goes.

Hatice refuses to take Ömer's helping hand and says what happened has made her even more determined in her decision. Hatice goes in. Ömer asks Zehra what Hatice meant. Zehra is very upset and tells Ömer that she speaks in riddles and just does not want us to get married because she thinks you will hurt me. Ömer says he is going inside to ask her why. Inside, Hatice has taken out a photograph that looks much like Zehra. It is Seher. She tells Seher that your daughter is just as fragile as you were. Meanwhile, Ömer hears her talking and stops at the door. Hatice is determined not to let Seher's daughter, Zehra, suffer the same fate as her mother, and be wasted away by the empty promises of a rich man. Ömer hears and is shocked.
