As a quiet bond forms between the two women amidst the rhythms of daily life, rumors begin to spread and intensify throughout the town. Fueled in part by Sami—a man who has long harbored an interest in Nazan—these prejudices lead customers to abandon the bakery, eventually resulting in the authorities sealing off "Tatlı Maya" on the grounds that Rana was being employed there illegally.
