Selin is very happy with the move, and immediately tries to wiggle her way into the popular crowd of kids. However, Nazlı initially refuses as she doesn't trust Haluk and at first she doesn't move to İstanbul with her family but later joins them for the sake of her mother. She meets Haluk's nephew, Savaş who is very distant and suffering from a terrible trauma relating to his former dead girlfriend. Ali (Haluk's son) is not happy to welcome the guests and he targets Selin as his new opponent. Ali had a rough childhood and was never loved by his father or mother.

When Ali learns of this and harms himself, Haluk realises he had been a poor father and apologizes.

Synopsis

This is a story of Güneş and her 3 daughters; twins, Selin and Nazlı, and Peri. They lived in İzmir. They decided to come to İstanbul when Güneş was proposed by a rich man Haluk.

Haluk's family include Rana (Haluk's elder sister), Ahmet (Haluk's younger brother), Inci (Ahmet's wife), Ali (son from ex-wife, Sevilay) and Savaş (Rana's adopted son). Sevilay (Haluk's ex-wife) lives separately.

1) Güneş believes Zafer, her ex-husband and ex lover too; raped her and her twins are his daughters but in reality, Zafer didn't rape her but Haluk did when she was in a cottage blindfolded in İzmir, summer of 1997. He claims he was in love with her. Zafer wants to take Peri, the youngest daughter and his true blood daughter to Germany for bone marrow so he could save his other daughter in Germany. He threatens Haluk that he'll tell this rape truth to Güneş. So Haluk throws him in front of a car which by accident Güneş was driving. She kills Zafer accidentally and they both decide to keep it a secret and Haluk buries Zafer's body in the woods to save Güneş from a life sentence since she had stabbed Zafer once before and was in jail because of it.

2) Tuğçe will later be friends and partners in crime too. She was once Emre's lover but they broke up. Selin was also the lover of playboy Emre but they break up because Selin is kissed by Ali, and they fall in love due to their common past.

3) Ali isn't Haluk's son. He is son of Sevilay, Haluk's ex-wife and her old lover Levent. She didn't know she was pregnant when she married Haluk. When Ali learns of this and harms himself, Haluk realises he had been a poor father and apologizes.

4) Levent appoints a bar dancer/stripper Elif to know more about Ali. She comes to the university with Ali and becomes his friend which obviously Selin doesn't like and she along with Tugçe tries to expose her because of her closeness to Ali.

5) Some 20 years ago, in 1997 Haluk was married to Sevilay and Ali was born. Haluk's younger brother Ahmet who is an architect, painted Güneş 20 years ago as he was also in love with her at the time. She doesn't know that.
