INT. MOURNING HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - DAY

Hikmet Tarhun stands solemnly in a room filled with subdued lighting. The atmosphere is heavy with grief. He's dressed in a black suit, and he wears a respectful expression as he surveys the mourners.

MURAT, a man in his late 30s, and SUNA, his wife, both impeccably dressed, approach Hikmet with a calculated politeness.

MURAT
(affected sympathy)
Uncle Hikmet, thank you for coming to pay your respects.

SUNA
(nods, with a hint of greed)
Yes, we appreciate your presence during this difficult time.

Hikmet offers his condolences with a somber nod, but he senses an underlying motive in their demeanor.

HIKMET
(sympathetic)
I'm truly sorry for your loss. If there's anything I can do to help...

MURAT
(cutting him off)
Actually, there is something you can do for us, Uncle. Our financial situation is quite strained due to the unexpected circumstances.

Suna gives a pointed look, emphasizing the financial angle.

SUNA
( Dramatically leaning in)
Yes, Hikmet uncle, we've been facing some difficulties. Any assistance from you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Hikmet's expression tightens, and he remains composed despite the clear demand for money.

HIKMET
(polite but firm)
I will definitely try to help but let's discuss this matter later. Right now, let's focus on remembering your mother.

As they continue their conversation, REYHAN enters the room, carrying a tray of water glasses. She's simple, elegant, and exudes an innocent aura.

Hikmet's eyes light up as he spots Reyhan. He takes a glass from the tray with a grateful smile.

HIKMET
(kindly)
Thank you, my dear.

MURAT
(displeased)
Reyhan, don't interrupt when we're talking.

Suna narrows her eyes at Reyhan.

SUNA
(coldly)
Yes, Reyhan. Remember your place. Don't come out without my permission. Go inside.

Hikmet's surprise is palpable, his thoughts racing as he witnesses the contrasting treatment.

INT. MOURNING HOUSE - REYHAN'S LIVING SPACE - DAY

Hikmet's inner turmoil is evident as he walks away from the room, his mind preoccupied with the unjust treatment Reyhan received.

HIKMET
(thinking)
What must this sweet, innocent girl have to endure in this household? She deserves better than this.
