Elif agreed to become a surrogate mother, not because of the good life. A mother is behind bars, a sister is in a hospital bed, and it takes a pretty big sum to save both of them.
And at that moment, the magic fairy Kiimet-khanum appears, who takes care of all the girl's problems, but in return asks to become a surrogate mother.
Elif got used to the idea that the child she carries under her heart does not belong to her. And when he is born, she will give him to the family of Kahraman.
Elif has already received payment for her services: her sister underwent surgery, and nothing threatens her life, and the mother was found a good lawyer, and soon, she should be released.
But when, not without the help of Defne, Elif ends up in the hospital with a threat of miscarriage, the question arises: to save either her or the child.
Kahraman, as a noble knight, said that Elif needed to be saved, but the girl herself did not allow the operation.
Her decision was to save the child, even if she had to say goodbye to her own life.
Why did Elif make such a decision at this moment? I think Elif, like any mother, felt her baby.
As she told Kahraman:
- I have a choice, but he does not.
Elif, as conceived by the writers, is a kind character who won't even hurt a fly.
It is easier for her to cry out her pain than to cause it to another. Although after some time, from the former Elif, little will remain.
