Defne, more than anything else, was afraid of losing Kahraman. For two long years after the disappearance of Elif, she tried to return his love.
On the instructions of Ziya Bey, Kahraman made nicknames with Defne, but their relationship did not go beyond formalities.
Defne endured and waited. She hoped that time would pass and Kahraman would notice and appreciate her care and love for him and her children.
Defne fell in love with Toprak with all her heart and sincerely considered him her son. When Toprak fell ill, Defne and Kahraman took the child to the hospital, not knowing what was behind the fence, Elif watched them.
Elif, worried about her son's condition, made a scandal for Maksud. Maksud, seeing the suffering of his beloved, took her to the hospital to the child.
He made it so that Elif could go into the room to her son, and breathe in his scent.
Meanwhile, Defne was in the doctor's office, who, at the request of Maksud, tried to detain the woman as long as possible, asking her various questions about her son.
The doctor warned Maksud that Defne was returning, but Maksud and Elif could not leave unnoticed. Defne noticed them, and also remembered the number of the car in which they left.
Defne's calm days are over. The nightmare in the form of Elif has returned again and Defne decides in something gone, to find her. And I found it.
Defne came to Maksud's house, where Elif appeared before her. But, only this was another Elif - proud, independent and determined.
Defne could not get anything from Elif, she did not understand what she needed and why she was hiding from the Yoruk khans. Maksud, who arrived in time, ordered the guards to expose Defne.
Defne left, but the fear remained. Fear that Elif would return and take Kahraman and Toprak from her again.
