Cevria tells Zehra to kiss her husband for his kindness. Alev is annoyed and leaves. Zehra looks at the coffee in her hands and gets up to give the kiss slowly.

Omer says how can you be so sure about that guy's actions; are you so close? Zehra is mad. How many times do I have to tell you that there is nothing between me and Yener.
