Plot
While Esra thinks she wakes up in one of her usual mornings, she suddenly finds herself surrounded by Ozan's news, his appearance on television, and his huge pictures on billboards. Her ex-husband Ozan, whom she divorced two years ago, is everywhere. He has also changed a lot. Ozan, who shot a penny when Esra quit, has become a completely different person. He is very successful, very handsome and very rich. While her life changed thanks to the social media application that Ozan found, Esra stood still. Before Esra can get over her shock, she comes face to face with Ozan. But Ozan, who used to love Esra enough to die, is no longer in front of her. He is a cold, arrogant man, full of anger towards Esra.
This encounter activates the feelings that they both think are over. Oddly enough, they both remember different things when they think about their marriage. For Esra, marriage means a safe haven. Esra, who had a childhood full of bankruptcies and foreclosures due to her father's adventurous business life, witnessed how hard her mother, who was in love with her father, tried to keep this family alive. Esra, who thinks that if this is love, I don't exist, is determined to marry someone who loves and trusts her very much. Ozan fell in love with Esra at first sight. As soon as Esra sees Ozan, she realizes that he is the person she is looking for and they get married in a short time. However, when Ozan resigns from his regular job to be able to do the job of his dreams, Esra's safe harbor is suddenly destroyed. Since Ozan cannot find an investor for his creative ideas, the living of the house is left entirely to Esra. Esra starts working multiple jobs to pay the rent and bills. Esra, who made a logical marriage in order not to be like her mother, has fallen into a worse state than her mother. Although she tries to keep their marriage alive for a while, she finally gives up. But in fact, the reasons for separation for both are not what they seem.
On the evening of the day they met, Esra tells her friend Zeyno that she expects an apology from Ozan for her past experiences, while Ozan angrily tells his assistant Musa how Esra easily sacrificed him in time. But what neither of them realize is how impressed they are when they see each other.
The next day, Esra gets dressed and goes to Ozan's office, thinking that Ozan will apologize for what he has done in the past and want to reconcile with the phone call from Ozan. However, Ozan's intention is different. Ozan, who could not give alimony to Esra because he had no money at the time of the divorce, takes out an envelope full of money and puts it in front of Esra. His real intention is to hurt Esra, who he thinks left him for money, by teaching her a good lesson. Realizing that she was being summoned to be humiliated, Esra tore up the envelope and left with Ozan even more angry than before.
Now it's Esra's turn to mend her broken pride. Seeing Ozan's company's trainee announcement, Esra makes her plan. She will apply to Ozan's company by applying for the advertisement and will leave his life only when Ozan falls in love with her again and falls at her feet.
