Melek – The courage of a motherepisode 4 May 2026: previews tonight on Real Time
After suffering harassment from Cumali (Nizam Nadir), Melek (Nehir Erdogan) confronts him: he got her fired, he mistreated her children. When will it stop? Cumali has no intention of listening to her, she’s just afraid that Halil (Kutsi) might still have feelings for her and doesn’t want her to suffer. Melek, however, is firm: she will not leave Gaziantep. The tones light up, Melek feels ill and faints. To help her is Ömer (Mustafa Mert Koç), who maintains confidentiality about the tumor.
Meryem (Dilaray Yesilyaprak) witnesses the scene and leaves rather annoyed. Halil, however, asks Zümrüt (Zeyno Eracar) for explanations, but his mother makes up an excuse and Halil even feels guilty for doubting his honesty. The Karadag also face moments of great tension. Seyit Ali (Mehmet Çevik) scolds Defne (Rabia Soytürk) and forces her to stop dating Ömer.
Kadriye (Hande Kaptan) wastes no time and causes discord, but this time Mahmut (Muharrem Türkseven) takes her sister’s defense and goes into a rage. Shortly after, Defne breaks the rules imposed by her grandfather and spends the afternoon with Ömer at Halfeti, on the bank of the Euphrates. Kadriye takes the opportunity to reveal to Vildan (Sebnem Zorlu) that she and her son are dating.

Zümrüt apologizes to Meryem
There is also some good news: Kerem (Ulvi Kahyaoglu) is taken into the Gaziantep football team, but he is a minor and needs a parent’s signature. Not being able to count on Alpay (Kaan Çakir) and not being able to ask Melek, who has lost custody, Seyit Ali steps forward. The good mood does not last long, since Cumali tells Seyit Ali about the fight with Melek, calls her insolent and then asks him to take her home.
Once in front of each other, Seyit Ali attacks her daughter: “You are still presumptuous and always do what you want”he screams. The anger increases, he reiterates that he has denied her and that he will never obtain her forgiveness. The road to reconciliation is all uphill and who knows how he will react when he discovers that his daughter is ill.
Zümrüt apologizes to Meryem and confesses that he hopes she will become his daughter-in-law. According to Meryem, there is no point in forcing thingsbecause in his opinion the story between Halil and Melek is not over yet. Despite this, Zümrüt is firm: she would like Halil to fall in love with her.
Melek – The courage of a motherthe confrontation with Halil
In the meantime, Alpay meets Kenan (Kadim Yasar), a longtime friend. It turns out that they arrived in Gaziantep together and that it was Seyit Ali who helped them: they were both penniless and Alpay was welcomed into the Karadag family. At the time, Melek hung out with Halil and then fell in love with Alpay and, despite himself, triggered the feud. Today Kenan is a wealthy entrepreneur active in the construction sector and offers him an agreement: he will let Kerem play on his team as long as he gives his approval to have Defne get engaged to his son.
Alpay tells him that Melek returned to Gaziantep to be with Halil and Kenan promises to make her pay. Melek returns to work in Hafiz’s (Gökhan Mete) shop and meets Halil, with whom he has his first heart-to-heart in two decades. «I didn’t want it to end this way. It wasn’t my intention to make you suffer,” he underlines. Shortly after aarrives Alpay, who finds her in Halil’s company and goes into a rage. He then runs to Kenan, who devises a plan against Melek.
Then, Meryem has a confrontation with Melek and takes the opportunity to confide in her that Zümrüt would like her as a daughter-in-law, but is willing to step aside in case she and Halil are still romantically linked. Melek reassures her and wishes her to be happy with him. In the end, Alpay continues to cast shadows on his ex-wife: First she tells Mahmut that she deserves to be punished and he will decide how. So reports to Cumali that she has returned to Gaziantep to get Halil back and to have seen them hand in hand. Yet another clash between families is served.
