INT. EMIR AND REYHAN'S BEDROOM - EVENING

Emir, still brooding over the events at Elif's school, sits on the edge of the bed. Reyhan enters the room, noticing Emir's distant expression.

REYHAN
(Gently)
Emir, why didn't you come to school today? Elif missed you so much.

Emir, his frustration building, turns to Reyhan with an accusatory tone.

EMIR
(Frustrated)
Oh, now my absence matters because our daughter noticed it. Meanwhile, it seems like everyone else has forgotten I even exist.

Reyhan, taken aback by Emir's words, is both confused and hurt.

REYHAN
(Confused)
Emir, I don't understand. What do you mean?

Emir, his frustration still palpable, clarifies his feelings.

EMIR
(Frustrated)
I know I need to talk to Elif, and I will. But let me make one thing very clear, Reyhan. Don't you ever try to replace me in my daughter's life with anyone else. She's my blood, my child, and no one can take my place in her heart.

Reyhan, feeling hurt by Emir's words, remains silent, not knowing how to respond to his outburst.

INT. ELIF'S BEDROOM - EVENING

Emir, realizing the impact of his absence on Elif, stands outside her bedroom door. He takes a deep breath, knocks softly, and then enters.

EMIR
(Softly)
Elif, can I come in?

Elif, sitting on her bed, looks up with a mix of surprise and delight at her father's voice. She nods eagerly, and Emir enters the room.

ELIF
(Smiling)
Baba! You came!

Emir walks over to Elif, sitting down beside her on the bed. He ruffles her hair affectionately.

EMIR
(Sincerely)
I'm so sorry, Elif. I should have been there at your school today. I know it was important to you, and I let you down.

Elif's face lights up with forgiveness as she reaches out to hug her father.

ELIF
(Grinning)
It's okay, Baba. I understand. But you promise you won't miss the next one, okay?

Emir hugs Elif tightly, feeling a deep sense of warmth and connection.

EMIR
(Emotional)
I promise, my dear. I won't miss any more of your special moments. You mean the world to me, Elif.

Elif smiles, her heart full, as she knows that her father is back in her life, ready to create many more cherished memories together.

INT. EMIR AND REYHAN'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

The room is dimly lit, and Reyhan is busy working on her laptop, surrounded by files scattered across the bed. Emir enters the room, his expression distant, and he makes his way to the couch.

Reyhan's phone rings, and she answers it, her attention divided.

REYHAN
(On the phone)
Yes, Kerem, I've sent over those project details. Please send me the designs as soon as possible.

As Reyhan talks to Kerem, Emir's simmering anger grows, particularly at the mention of Kerem's name. Reyhan finishes her call and notices Emir's mood but doesn't say anything.

Emir decides to turn off the lights abruptly, plunging the room into darkness. Reyhan protests and switches them back on. They exchange glances, their silent battle evident.

Emir rises from the couch, determined to make his point, and steps over to Reyhan's side.

EMIR
(Annoyed)
Reyhan, don't do this.

Reyhan, equally frustrated, stands her ground and faces Emir, their tension palpable.

Reyhan stands defiantly before Emir, her voice firm.

REYHAN
(Defiant)
I will do it. What will you do?

Emir, driven by his mounting frustration, reaches over and abruptly shuts Reyhan's laptop off. Reyhan lets out an exasperated sigh and confronts him.

Their heated confrontation is interrupted when Reyhan's balance falters. She stumbles slightly, reaching out instinctively to grab hold of something for support. Her hand lands on Emir's arm, and in the process, they both lose their balance and tumble backward onto the bed.

They land on the soft mattress together, their faces mere inches apart. Their eyes lock, and for a brief moment, their anger and frustration are replaced by a charged atmosphere of closeness and intensity.

As Emir and Reyhan find themselves on the bed, their eyes locked in a charged moment of intimacy, time seems to stand still. Emir's hand instinctively moves to gently brush a strand of hair away from Reyhan's face.

EMIR
(Whispering)
Reyhan...

Reyhan's heart races as she gazes into Emir's eyes, her voice barely above a whisper.

REYHAN
(Whispering)
Emir...

The room is filled with unspoken emotions as they remain in that intimate moment, the world outside fading away.

INT. EMIR AND REYHAN'S BEDROOM - CONTINUOUS

Reyhan, still flustered from the moment, leaves the lights on as she resumes her work on the laptop. She occasionally steals glances at Emir, who is lying on the couch with his eyes closed.

Emir can sense Reyhan's gaze on him, even with his eyes shut. His mind races with conflicted thoughts of their near-miss moment lingering in the air.
