Hatice notices Ömer at the door and says what are you doing there. He says I came to see how you were. She asks how long he has been there. He says I just arrived and does not refer to the information he has just heard. They go out and Zehra is not there. Ömer finds her phone on the ground and is worried. Hatice tells him not to make a fuss. But he says he has to go look for her. He runs off and find her passed out in the field. He brings her back and asks Hatice to get the keys from his pocket and open the car door, so he can take her to the hospital. Hatice tells him to take her inside. Ömer does so reluctantly. The two of them talk about their knowledge of Zehra. She is sensitive; her pressure drops when she does not eat; also, when she is upset about something. So Hatice tells him not to worry and go outside so she can fix her up. Ömer leaves reluctantly.

Cevriye is concerned that Ömer and Zehra have not come back and goes to visit Salim. Salim tells her that Hatice is a bit eccentric and is probably putting the couple through some tests.

Salim calls Ömer and says he could not reach Zehra. Ömer tells him everything is fine and that Zehra is outside with her aunt. Ömer assures him that everything is fine. He then goes in and asks about Zehra. Hatice is annoyed that he has gone in. He tells her that Salim called. First Hatice thinks that he has probably told Salim and worried him; but Ömer tells her that he told him that they were out together, and everything was fine. Hatice is impressed by his consideration. She again tells him to wait outside; so, he leaves.

Sabah sees the mafia dudes and run around Mahalleh trying to get rid of them and finally she returns to the store. Kerem asks her what's up and she does not respond. She goes into her room and begins collecting her things. She goes and comes back again unable to get away from the guys. Kerem stays on. He gets a call to go to a party. Sabah interjects that he should not leave. Kerem goes into the room to talk. Sabah follows him.

Hatice steps out and takes Ömer inside. Ömer sits bedside her and takes her hand and thanks Hatice. Hatice says she is fine, just sleeping and leaves them together. Zehra comes too. She is concerned about separation from Ömer. He assures her that he would not allow such a thing to happen. Hatice brings some soup and gets Ömer to feed her the soup. Hatice knows Zehra does not like the taste but it is good for her. So Ömer makes sure she drinks it all.

Kerem and Sabah are in the room when then hear smash of glasses. Kerem slowly comes out to check, thinking it's the mafia. It is only Ati who has fallen while he was bringing tea. Kerem gets angry with Ati. Sabah tells Kerem off for being insensitive with Ati. Kerem leaves. Sabah is scared. She gets her things and leaves. The guys see her and run after her. Kerem comes with his car and tells her to jump in.

At night Ömer begins talking to Hatice when they are alone. He says Zehra is very special for him. Hatice says I know you love each other but this marriage cannot take place. Ömer asks why; is it because of Zehra's mother? Hatice is annoyed that he lied to her about hearing what she wasysaying in her private space. He says I just did not want to upset you in your condition at the time. Hatice calms down and tells him the story of her niece, Seher who believed she had found love with a rich man but was left pregnant and loveless by him. She had delivered Zehra but gradually withered and died after delivery. Salim, Seher's brother had taken the child and brought her up as his own. Ömer asks about Zehra's dad. Hatice says she does not know him. So, Salim is in effect Zehra's maternal uncle.

Ömer does not push the matter. In the morning, Zehra asks Ömer whether he talked with her aunt and what she said. He says not much. He says she did not say yes or no. He tells her that they can leave for now and come back another time again confident that he can solve the problem. Later as they are taking their leave, Zehra kisses Hatice's hand. Ömer stands back respectfully. Hatice asks, are you not going to kiss my hand? Had you not come to get my blessing? Ömer steps forward gratefully. She then takes out a pocket watch; a family heirloom and gives it to him as present along with her blessing to go and get married. Ömer and Zehra are elated.
