At the last minute Ömer swerves and gets out of the way. He stops the car to gather himself. He then drives to the waterfront. He remembers the sweet moments of the wedding night and then remembers the pulling off of the necklace. He then remembers the many times Zehra kept asking him what was wrong and he refused to talk. He remembers how she told him one day he would regret his doings. He screams into the sea with deep ruefulness: "Zehra!"

In the bedroom, Zehra begins to pack her suitcase. She begins to remember the hurtful moments of degradation by Ömer and cannot handle her wounded feelings. She tries to remember the good moments as well, but the bad ones keep rushing into her mind. Zehra feels her only way to get rid of the pain is to leave this bedroom and this House.

Zehra tells him Bahşende is looking from the window. Ömer tells her that he does not care who is looking. These are his true feelings. Zehra goes back into the bedroom. She is stirred by Ömer's touch but tries to snap out of it. She asks the heavens for strength to leave Ömer because she is clearly aware how much she loves him.

Nihat realizes he does not have the CD and tells everyone in the office to look for it.

Ayşe goes to Ömer in the study and tells him about her business plans with Zehra. Ömer tells him that they could use the Kervancioglu offices for their space and also take advantage of some of their staff. He asks Ayşe however not to tell Zehra that it was his idea. Nihat comes in. Ayşe wonders why Ömer does not want her to tell Zehra the truth. Nihat realizes Ömer's hesitation and says he probably does not want his wife to feel he wants to hover over her all the time. Ayşe accepts.

In the living room Cevriye tells Zehra that Ayşe has been talking with Ömer for a long time. Zehra thinks Ömer is probably telling her about the divorce. She becomes jittery. Ayşe goes into the living room and says she has something important to discuss with Zehra and wants everyone to hear. Zehra thinks is it about the divorce and becomes uncomfortable. Ayşe then says she has decided hwo she and Zehra can work together. Zehra is surprised. Ayşe tells her about working from the Kervancioglu Holding premises.

Ömer listens to the conversation without being seen and then goes back to the study.

Ömer goes into the bedroom and sees Zehra's suitcase on the the bed. He wonders how much she hates her that she is in such a rush to leave. He says one more time that he will not agree to the divorce. She says you are being a bully. He says defiantly, no, I am only in love with you. She asks if he put ideas in Ayşe's head. He says she asked for support and I agreed. She accepts that it could have been Ayşe's idea but assures him that such things would not keep her from her decision. He says neither will I be dissuaded from my decision. They tell each other: "We'll see!" He takes his pillow to leave the room. She says sodftly you can sleep in your bed; you did not sleep last night either. He says: "it's not necessary!" and leaves.
