Mesmerized by Hayat's beauty, Murat slowly walks out of the shadows, unable to hide the feelings of pride, appreciation, and love on his face. The dress fit perfectly, hugging her svelte figure, she had not gained an inch anywhere else on her body, the stole added beauty to the dress, like a protective shield, hiding her protruding belly and at the same time accentuating her femininity. Hayat rules the ramp, the minute she had seen the dress, she had known Murat had a winner. Any woman would feel like a princess in the dress, right from the color to the design, it just screamed chick! And Hayat's sheer beauty and poise just amplify the beauty of the dress. As she starts to walk down the ramp, her eyes desperately seeking the one person who deserved all the accolades for designing such a masterpiece, frantically searching the dark auditorium, she finally finds him in the back, walking towards the ramp. A thunderous applause breaks out as Hayat takes her first pause as the audience take in the beauty of the creation. She walks up to the top of the ramp and pauses again; a faint smile breaks out on Murat's face, and he joins the audience in appreciating the beauty on the ramp. Hayat holds his gaze, both lost in each other, one pair of eyes apologetic and ashamed, the other proud and in pain. If only their eyes could speak, they would have narrated a different story right now, a story of undying love and dedication, of beautiful memories of togetherness and of a future filled with joy! As she holds her pose, looking like a dream, the audience is left speechless!

Cagla had no clue that this was coming, and she is caught completely unawares. But not the one to give up so easily, seething with jealousy, she stands up, not giving enough time for the security person next to her to react, she just gives him a venomous look, snaps "bathroom" at him and starts walking towards the ramp. Murat and Cagla reach the ramp at the same time from opposite directions, each acknowledging the presence of the other. Fear grips Murat, as he anticipates something terrible about to unfold, not knowing what! Hayat starts to turn around on the ramp and just then Murat sees Cagla pull out something from her purse and throw it on the ramp in front of Hayat, Hayat's attention is on Murat and she does not see Cagla until it's too late and she trips on the hairbrush that Cagla had thrown, causing her ankle to twist, unable to regain her balance, she starts falling off the ramp!
