Iffet episode 2 summary

In the next period Iffet tries to forget what happened and overcome the incident. Little by little she forgives Cemil for his abominable deeds and tries to convince herself that he really loves her, that's why he forced her to make love. Though, their relationship gets worse because he begins to date Betul,  the daughter of his employer at the taxi company, which is also Iffet's best friend. Unfortunately, Betul has always felt attracted  by Cemil and somehow was envy on Iffet's luck.

For a few days Iffet's aunt, Saime, who works in a rich man's house, has managed to persuade Ahmet to let his daughter work as a maid too in the same place. Eventually, Ahmet accepts, because his butchery shop isn't going too well and they need money. Iffet is liked by Ali Ihsan, her master, but in the beginning she doesn't notice that Ali starts to have feelings for her. Dilek, Ali Ihsan's sister, becomes aware of this attraction and thinking that Iffet is a fortune hunter, rejects her whenever she can.

After several days, a few people learn about the rape and wonder why the two lovers don't get married. One day Erhan, the younger brother of Ali Ihsan and Dilek, comes home drunken and tries to kiss Emine, another servant. Iffet, remembering about her bitter experience and thinking that Erhan wants to rape Emine, hits him with a vase in his head. As the master of the house, Ali Hasan, wants to know the truth and Dilek, his sister, wants to banish Iffet away because she can't stand her. Under these circumstances a messy situation arises and the girl wants to resign from her job. Ali Ihsan doesn't agree, understanding that the fault lies with his younger brother, Erhan, who is an alcoholic and just spends the money that he and Dilek earn at their own company.

The episode ends when Cemil comes under Iffet's window one night and because he wants to show her that he loves her and doesn't care about money, he throws gasoline on his taxi and lights a match, burning the car to ashes. Soon he'll learn that he did another huge mistake ....
