"Zeynep..."

"Hey, my love..."

"Zeynep..." Halil Ibrahim calls... "What were you thinking about? I've called you several times but you didn't reply..." Halil Ibrahim looks at her closely while wiping her tears. He holds her face with both of his hands waiting for her reply, Zeynep slightly nodes in confusion. She has no idea how she got there and no idea how Halil Ibrahim would be right in front of her eyes even after she walked out on him. It was a hospital room, there was a nurse and a doctor. Halil Ibrahim stood right next to Zeynep and he looked quite anxious, "Halil Ibrahim, what are we doing here?" Zeynep asks.

Halil Ibrahim looks at her then gives her a bright smile, then he grabs her hand and gives it a warm kiss. Zeynep can't understand what's going on then suddenly she feels this sharp pain in her stomach. She lets out a loud scream followed by deep breathes, then the doctor calls, "Zeynep, we just need you to do two more strong pushes and we'll be done here... I'll count to three and you give me your best two pushes ok..."

Zeynep was flabbergasted but there was no time to ask questions because the baby was already coming. Halil Ibrahim comes to her, he holds her hand tightly then look towards the doctor as she continues focusing on delivering their child. Zeynep let's out two loud screams, she scratches Halil's hand from squeezing it with all her might. There was a life coming out of her, it has always been their wish. That moment seemed like her life was being snatched from her but yet she couldn't stop pushing the one inside her to the world. Halil Ibrahim might have as well cried tears of joy, his eyes were watery and he didn't know whom to focus on. All these were through joy, the most absolute joy that is the fruit of their love. He comforted Zeynep and cheered for her, he also gave her strength not even minding the pain on his hand.

The room once filled with Zeynep's screams now was filled with their new born baby's cries. "Such a healthy baby boy..." The doctor said. Zeynep was sweating buckets but Halil jumped and gave her several kisses on her cheeks and forehead. He let go of her hand then ran to the doctor to hold the baby, the doctor handed the child to him after she had covered him with a shoal. She congratulates them once more then she hands him to Halil Ibrahim. The child cries as he falls into his dad's arms, such a pure and innocent soul finally made it's entrance into this cruel world. Zeynep heard him cry, he cried even more and despite Halil Ibrahim trying to get him to stop crying his cries got even louder.

"Zeynep... he's so handsome..." Halil Ibrahim says with a smile on his face.

"Here... Let me hold him then..."Zeynep asks anxiously.

"I think he looks so much like you than me, love..." Halil ignores.

"Halil Ibrahim, bring him here... Let me hold him too..." Zeynep insists.

"You want to see him, don't you?" Halil Ibrahim asks.

"Yeah... I want to see him and hold him as well..." Zeynep replies.

"Then wake up Zeynep... wake up my love... wake up and meet our son..." Halil says

"Wake up..." Halil's voice echoed while Zeynep slowly opened her eyes. She blinks several times so she can bring back clear images to her eyes. She realizes she's on a bed and when she tries to get out of the bed, she finds out she's bound to it. "What happened?" she wonders, how did she end up with her hands tied down to the bed...? She tries to free herself but nothing works, right by the window stands a man. Quite tall and in a suit, he stands facing the window and his back facing Zeynep. He looks like he's carrying something in one of his hand while the other is in his trouser pocket. The man seems to hear Zeynep struggling but he is not phased by it, rather he seems amused by something else through the window.

Zeynep struggles more but her body seems to be losing some strength, she doesn't know but the man had to drug her to drag her there. Everything happened too quickly and she can't seem to remember a thing from how she ended up in such a situation. Suddenly she hears this man let out a sarcastic laughter which scares the shit out of her. He sips from his drink then turns to face Zeynep, "Hi, princess... you finally woke up..." He says then lets out a chuckle.

"Who are you?" Zeynep asks the mysterious man who's currently leaning on the window while drinking something. He stands upright then slowly takes a few steps towards Zeynep, he stands right in front of her and Zeynep finally recognizes him. "It's you...!" She exclaims.

"Surprise!" He shouts.

"What do you want? Why did you bring me here? Where am I?" Zeynep interrogates him.

"Hey, I know... as a subject, I'm obliged to answer your queries. However, since am playing a game with your "husband" I'll have to hold back the answering till some time later." He replies.

"I don't know what you want but you got the wrong person..." Zeynep says, "I'm the last person to use to lure Halil Ibrahim into a trap..."

"Why do you say that?" He asks putting a hilarious expression.

Halil Ibrahim and Zeynep's love story was famous in the whole of KaraDeniz. Their love that transcended family and enemity, that is an icon for most lovers and haters as a whole. Who didn't know that for Zeynep, Halil Ibrahim could kill and be killed and for Halil Ibrahim, Zeynep could live and die with no regrets? They are the modern day Romeo and Juliet, except they fight to live for each other than die. However, Zeynep is here trying to trick Mr. Kidnapper that she means nothing to Halil Ibrahim. Well, let's see if he'll believe her reasoning...

"Halil Ibrahim and I had a falling out and eventually divorced, there's no big love or anything between us." She explained. "In fact, we might even be termed as enemies at this point..." she murmurs.

"Mrs. Zeynep, would you like me to try out a theory? No, I think is a known fact..." the man asks.

"What theory?" Zeynep anxiously wonders.

"That Halil Ibrahim is your enemy... I'll give him a call so we can hear it from his mouth..." He says.

Halil Ibrahim had called Oguz to help him investigate and look for any clues. There were several police officers roaming around the Leto summer house, police walkie-talkies were audible throughout the house. They were wiping for fingerprints and shoe prints or anything that could be traced back to the kidnappers. Halil had already given his statement and was told to wait outside for any findings or any more information needed. He was pacing through the porch with the phone from the kidnappers in his hand. A rare sight as well, Halil Ibrahim never owned a phone before. Contrary, this time he personally forbade the investigators from touching it. For the first time, there was news he was waiting for... if he lost that phone then he loses his only link to Zeynep.

Fikret had also arrived, he stood at a distance from Halil. Oguz had asked him a few questions about the message he got from Zeynep and other relevant questions. Now they were staring at the restless Halil Ibrahim by the house door. They both were hesitating to approach him afraid of the consequences. One is the brother who didn't even check on his sister despite the numerous dangers lurking around, the other was afraid of their relationship being revealed and so they stayed away.

"Do you think he's gonna be ok?" Fikret asks.

"He's been like that since I got here... I think this is the calm before the storm..." Oguz replies. He pats Fikret on his shoulder then heads to check on the investigation team. Fikret decides to bite the bullet and approach Halil Ibrahim, his confidence lowers a notch as he gets closer. He recalls how Halil Ibrahim entrusted Zeynep's safety to him and while he was busy playing angry brother, her little sister, Halil's beloved wife was getting herself kidnapped by God knows who. He failed both as a brother and a protector.

Slowly he landed his hand on Halil's shoulder, Halil turned around, his face was all red from both anger and fear. His eyes had tears welled up but none fell yet, the moment he saw Fikret, he couldn't hold it in any longer. The hug he received if it were someone else... would have literally broke down and cry out loud. However, Halil only knew how to cry from his heart and not eyes. A tear fell and the bitterness fell with it, his heart was obviously in pieces from Zeynep disappearing. Fikret had no words of comfort, he could only give him a pat on the back and wait for any development.

Out of the blue the phone in Halil Ibrahim's hand rang, he jumped out of surprise then proceeded to picking up the call. Oguz and Fikret asked him to put it on speaker so they could help find any clue. Finally he picks up with a nervous heart he listens to the voice on the other end of the phone.

"Hello, Halil Ibrahim... I just called to let you hear your wife's voice. She says she misses you." The man jokes. He puts his phone on speaker mode then asks Zeynep to politely speak to Halil. He apologizes to her for intruding on their call, it's just that he couldn't help it, he was the kidnapper and he had to be there to prevent her from pulling any tricks. He brings the phone close to Zeynep's mouth and commands her to speak...

"Come on... Your husband awaits..." The man speaks.

"Halil Ibrahim..." Zeynep calls.

"Zeynep are you alright?" Halil Ibrahim asks anxiously.

"Am fine..." Zeynep replies.

"Halil Ibrahim... I'm not the bad guy you think I am..." He speaks after taking back the phone from Zeynep. He turned off the speaker mode and had placed the phone on his ear. Neither Zeynep nor Halil had gotten enough of each other's voice.

"What kind of a bad guy are you then...?" Halil asks in rage.

" Well, for starters... I can kill anyone but your wife, rest assured..." He replies unfazed, "Your love for her makes me want to keep her alive, that's how much I care about you both..." It was true though, the room Zeynep was placed, had so many pictures of Halil Ibrahim and Zeynep. It was clear that he had been following them both for a long time. But who was he? Who was this mysterious man that dared touch Halil Ibrahim's wife regardless of the tales about their love and most importantly tales of Halil Ibrahim's actions towards whoever dared touch what's his. The whole town still had no idea of what he did to the lady that attacked Zeynep in prison. It was just heard that she disappeared the night of her release.

"Since I want to reunite you two lovebirds as quick as possible, I'm willing to give you a hint if you promise to find your wife before the deadline..." The man proposed.

"What hint?" Halil asked.

" A man will kill himself at the first place I met Zeynep, Zeynep had only been to two places before I took her. Your task is to save the dying man so you can be a step ahead of finding Zeynep and I will have the satisfaction of playing with you... Such a fair game, I'll have fun, a man will be saved and most importantly my favorite lovers will reunite." He replies. He then hungs up the phone then informs Zeynep that Halil and him made a deal and will work together so everything can go back to it's place. He also adds that she shouldn't worry and have faith that her husband could save the dying man and save her as well.

Zeynep threw threats at him but the man was unmoved. She screamed of the consequences of crossing paths with Halil Ibrahim but all were wasted efforts to him. In fact he went on whistling in excitement leaving the perturbed Zeynep drowning in her conscious. Halil's fear grew bigger, he finally had a clue in his hands but he couldn't shake the tone of the guy on the other end. To think that such a ruthless man had his wife in his hands drove him nuts. Leaving Fikret and Oguz behind he ran to his car and drove off. He recalls Zeynep leaving the hospital so he decides to try his luck there. The uneasiness filled his whole being and for the first time he saw himself shake in fear.

Finally he arrived at the hospital, he looked around thoroughly but he couldn't spot any dying man. Not giving up easily, he ran several times searching the hospital grounds to no avail. He even went and checked through the hospital CCTV cameras but this particular dying man was a no-show. How did he even end up believing the words of a mad man? He should have known that these were games the man set up to distract him from his main aim. He walks out of the hospital building and stands near his car, out of frustration, he hits his car hard. He paces back and forth thinking of any other place Zeynep could have gone to. He thinks hard and the only place that comes to mind is the Leto house.

Although he heard that Letos didn't live there anymore, he couldn't shake the feeling that she might've gone there for a moment. He boards his car ready to drive off and that's when the man passes. He notices how this man looks extremely suspicious and out of place. Halil keeps an eye on him as he walks by his car wearing a very long trench coat. He hugged the trench coat as if he was wearing a bomb inside, he even chose a hospital and this might end up being a suicide bombing. Halil acts quick and walks towards the suspicious man, he slowly approaches him from behind so he doesn't alert him.

The man looks extremely anxious, he keeps looking on his sides and walking while tightly holding his trench coat close to his body. Halil successfully approaches and from behind he puts him in an armlock, the man shakes his legs fighting not lose consciousness but Halil Ibrahim's lock drives him unconscious. He slowly lays him on the floor and carefully opens his coat to see inside. And at the final layer jumps a flag written, "YOU WIN" from the man's belt. Halil Ibrahim drops down to catch his breath, he had been looking all over for a man whom he later thought was a suicide bomber which eventually turned out to be a stupid prank from the kidnapper. He literally fell into the kidnappers hands and the kidnapper managed to play with his wits.

He stands up from the floor then carries the unconscious man into the hospital. He leaves him to the nurses then drives towards the summer house. Fikret and Oguz were still waiting for his return. The moment he got off the car Oguz's walkie-talkie announced that a man blew himself up near the Kara Deniz elementary school. The number of deaths was unclear and lots of kids were injured. Oguz called out the investigation team and sent them to where the incident had happened.

Halil Ibrahim was left bewildered unsure what had happened. Was it the wrong place? Did he go to the wrong location? How could Zeynep have gone to their elementary school? What was she doing there? All these questions filled his mind unable to find the answer. He was so shocked to even move an inch, he didn't believe that he might've been the cause of the fatal accident and death of several kids. Then the phone rang...

"So you went to the wrong place... who cares, right? Am positive you'll get it right next time..." The man said.

"What do you want from me?" Halil asked him.

"Halil Ibrahim... I'm giving you the chance to play vigilante, in the movies... Vigilantes usually have to save their girls from big bad villains. Am no villain but am ready to be one for you. It's just that I'd unfortunately have to murder a couple of people on the way..." He explained.

The man then turns to Zeynep and explains that villains are tricky and if her husband doesn't keep that in mind... One day a villain might trick him and it won't just end with several kids dying.
