Ferit manages to convince Leyla not to give up on their partnership and to move forward with their café plans. Finally, the long-awaited opening day arrives. Leyla and Gonca are full of excitement and hope, convinced that their hard work will pay off. Unfortunately, reality hits them hard: the café remains completely empty, without a single customer. As if that weren’t enough, they also receive a threatening letter, which further unsettles their enthusiasm.
Ferit is not surprised by what happens. A few days earlier, while renovations were still underway, two unknown men entered the café and warned him and Leyla to give up, telling them they were not welcome in the area and that their business would not succeed.
Disappointed and fed up with the situation, Gonca decides to go home. Ferit and Leyla remain alone in the empty café. Seeing how sad and discouraged Leyla is, Ferit tries to cheer her up. He suggests that they sit at a table and pretend they are the café’s first customers. He then tells her that he is happy they bought this place and that he is convinced that, in time, the café will be full of customers.
In an emotional moment, Ferit confesses to Leyla that there could be no more suitable place than this to propose to her. Leyla is completely surprised. Ferit continues, telling her that he fell in love with her from their very first meeting, and then asks her the big question. At that very moment, Gonca and Mustafa unexpectedly appear and interrupt them, so Leyla does not get the chance to give him an answer.
The next day, Leyla behaves distantly and confused around Ferit, as she does not know whether the marriage proposal was serious or just a spur-of-the-moment gesture. At the same time, Ferit eagerly awaits a clear answer from her.
Meanwhile, Kudret takes Sema and Aliye to the vacation house, leaving Karan alone in the mansion with Ceylan. The two spend the night together in silence. In the morning, Karan tells Ceylan that, starting that day, her life will change completely.
