As Şükran is leaving, Ömer comes around the corner. He wants to tell Zehra in person. He goes and knocks on their door but there is no answer.

Later Cevriye gives Zehra some halva to take for Ömer. She goes reluctantly. He is waiting in the study to talk to her. When she comes, he says come in I must talk to you. She says I have to leave, my father does not know I am here. He is about to talk to her but his phone rings. He answers and Zehra leaves. It is Salim.
