INT. TARHUN COMPANY - HALLWAY - CONTINUOUS
Reyhan exits Emir's office, her emotions in turmoil. She walks down the hallway, her footsteps echoing in the empty corridor. As she rounds a corner, she bumps into Kerem, who seems concerned.
Kerem: (worried) Reyhan, are you okay? You look upset.
Reyhan wipes away a tear, attempting to compose herself.
Reyhan: (forcing a smile) I'm fine, Kerem. Just some work stress, you know how it is.
Kerem doesn't look entirely convinced but nods.
Kerem: If you ever need to talk or anything, you know I'm here for you, right?
Reyhan appreciates his concern but can't help thinking about the growing distance between her and Emir.
Reyhan: (softly) Thank you, Kerem. I appreciate it.
They part ways, and Reyhan continues down the hallway, her thoughts consumed by the strained dynamics in her relationship with Emir.
CUT TO
INT. TARHUN HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - CONTINUOUS
Emir stands in the living room, and his mother Leyla approaches him with a concerned look.
Leyla: (worried) Emir, I've noticed that you and Reyhan don't come and go to the office together anymore. She's been arriving earlier, and you're coming home late. Is everything alright between you two?
Emir, trying to reassure his mother, offers a faint smile.
Emir: (calmly) Mom, it's just the workload at the office. We're both busy, but everything is fine, I promise.
Leyla looks at her son, her eyes filled with understanding.
Leyla: (softly) Emir, I hope you realize how much Reyhan has done for this family in your absence. When your father left us, he wanted Reyhan to continue the legacy of the company. She managed both the business and our home. She took care of me and Elif's health. Even when you weren't here, she held onto the hope that you'd return someday.
Emir listens to his mother's words, the weight of her expectations and Reyhan's sacrifices settling upon him. He begins to understand the gravity of the situation and how much Reyhan has done for their family.
Emir: (reflective) I know, Mom.
Leyla smiles warmly at her son, her worry temporarily lifted by his words.
Leyla: (grateful) That's all I want, Emir. For both of you to find your way back to each other.

INT. TARHUN MANSION - EMIR AND REYHAN'S BEDROOM - EVENING
Reyhan sits on the edge of their bed, tears streaming down her face. She's lost in a whirlwind of emotions.
Emir enters the room, his gaze falling upon Reyhan's tear-stained face. He hesitates for a moment, unsure of how to approach her.
EMIR
(Thinking)
Reyhan, I wish I could have the right words to say. I don't want to create more gaps between us by saying anything at this moment.
He decides to change his clothes first, he puts his bag on the table and moves towards the wardrobe, all the while sensing Reyhan's pain.
Reyhan, still weeping softly, can't help but feel that her emotions are falling on deaf ears. She questions whether Emir's love for her remains, if it ever truly existed after his memory loss. Doubt clouds her thoughts.
Reyhan's Thoughts: (tearful) My hurt, my pain, my tears... do they even affect Emir anymore? Maybe he doesn't love me. Perhaps I expected too much from him. He lost his memory, and along with it, his love for me. It seems he's only here because of Elif. Nothing more.
Emir, while closing the wardrobe, senses Reyhan's despair but remains uncertain about how to bridge the growing emotional gap between them.
CUT TO
INT. TARHUN MANSION - DINING ROOM - NIGHT
Emir, Reyhan, Leyla and Elif are sitting together at the dining table, sharing a meal. The atmosphere is tense, and the recent emotional distance between Emir and Reyhan is palpable.
Leyla, Emir's mother, decides to address the situation, hoping to facilitate a reconciliation. She looks at Reyhan and Emir, concern in her eyes, and speaks up.
LEYLA
Reyhan, Emir, I think it's time you both sorted out your problems and misunderstandings.
Emir's gaze shifts towards Reyhan, his expression a mix of anger and frustration. Reyhan doesn't hold back and responds, her voice tinged with bitterness.
REYHAN
Some people, mom, don't seem to care about the emotions of others. How can we expect anything from someone who abandoned his wife and child when she was struggling with complications alone, a person who couldn't talk like mature people...is such a coward person.
Emir's anger boils over, and he slams his hand on the table.
EMIR
Enough, Reyhan! You're crossing the line.
Emir boiling in anger. Clenched his fists and continued.
EMIR
(voice raised)
Oh really? Then how can I trust a woman who found another man as her support in her husband's absence? How can a husband tolerate that his wife spent those seven years with another man? And even now, when her husband is standing right here, her gaze is still on another man!
Reyhan's temper flares in response to Emir's accusations.
REYHAN
(voice equally raised)
Emir, enough!
Emir isn't finished, and he continues to vent his frustration.
EMIR
If I'm a coward, then what should I call you? A woman who can't live without a man, who needs a man, whether it's her husband or some other man.
Reyhan's patience snaps, and she reacts impulsively, slapping Emir across the face. The room falls into an eerie silence, with emotions running high and both Emir and Reyhan now grappling with the intensity of their confrontation.
Reyhan's hand trembles slightly after she slaps Emir. The room is charged with tension as both of them stand there, seething with anger and hurt.
Emir, still reeling from the slap, clutches his jaw. He didn't expect Reyhan's retaliation to be physical.
