Nothing out of the ordinary happened over the following days.
Defne and Selimem continued to be friends and hid from each other how much one side cared about the other. They could not pierce the boundary that separated love from friendship.
Janset and Kemal continued to try to have a child. They realised that age was working against them, but they were not going to give up, especially since the gynaecologist had given them the green light. That is, he expressed the hope that, with the medication they were taking, they might succeed, fulfilling their dream of having an offspring.
Özge used to meet up with Ayaz in her spare time. They usually had a quick coffee together. The girl didn't find time for more, because her main focus was on her work. She wanted to be professional to the end. She was anxious that the new acquaintance should not affect the quality of her duties. She also had doubts about whether she should allow the relationship to develop freely. She could not imagine that somewhere in the possible future she could become a sister-in-law to Aylin. She was still cut up about the woman, and she only knew her from stories and from the photos of her and Selim together that Zeynep had found. She realised that if it wasn't for her, Defne would probably be very happy with Korkmaz right now. After all, the feeling between them was developing before her eyes.
Zeynep, on the other hand, was developing her acting career. The Turkish public reacted with great enthusiasm to her duet with Emre. There were many positive comments about them online. The first photos of this new serial couple together, became one of the topics most written about on social media. Everyone was now waiting for the first official announcement of this autumn project. It arrived in the early afternoon of Monday the fourteenth of September.
Defne obviously could not miss this moment. She had been following all the official accounts regarding the series for several days. Therefore, she was one of the first to share their post on her Instagram account, tagging the main actors.
When the teaser came to light, Turan was just at Selim's garden. The man, who was busy preparing something to drink, surreptitiously watched her through the kitchen window. He noticed the emotion that was painted on her face. At the time, he didn't yet know for what reason she was smiling like that, but he was glad, because he loved it when the corners of the girl's mouth lifted upwards.
- 'I've brought tea,' Selim announced, placing a tray with cups and a teapot on the table. The girl reached for it, drinking the hot beverage even though it was warm outside. Defne stood up from her chair, facing Selim. She turned her back to him with her hand stretched out in front of her, in which she held her phone. She played the trailer once again in the form of a short scene, each frame of which she memorised more and more, focusing on maturing new details.
- The new dizi 'Body Memory' is coming soon to D Kanal. - The voiceover on the recording sounded. And then the scene began again.
- And what do you think? - Defne asked, scrolling through the comments under the post. - Look how many comments already. That number is growing all the time!
- It promises to be quite an interesting story,' said Selim, who was not used to following national productions. He simply didn't have time to watch TV, let alone get to know the characters in the series. - You can be proud of your sister. May the project be accepted by our audience.
- Let's hope so, because our people are not all the same," sighed Defne, remembering how picky our compatriots can be in this respect. - However, the first results are satisfactory. Plus fans from abroad are pushing it to the world all the time, passing on the post on their fan accounts. I know, because I follow several of them.
- That's a good omen, am I right? - replied Korkmaz uncertainly, because he wasn't interested in it to that extent. Defne wrinkled her forehead and shook her head. - In any case, the plot has potential.
