INT. TARHUN HOUSE - LEYLA'S ROOM - EVENING
Reyhan arrives at Leyla's room and knocks on the door. Leyla warmly invites her inside.
LEYLA
(polite)
Yes, yes, my dear, come in.
Reyhan enters and stands close to Leyla, her expression serious and filled with concern. Leyla notices the gravity of the situation and inquires.
LEYLA
(concerned)
What happened, Reyhan? Is there something you want to tell me?
Reyhan hesitates, feeling a bit nervous but determined to share the information.
REYHAN
(nervous)
Mom... Actually... Emir...
Leyla's eyes widen, sensing that there's something significant at play.
LEYLA
(worried)
Yes, Emir...?
Reyhan takes a deep breath and continues.
REYHAN
(anxious)
Emir found out that the Tarhun family name is absent from Elif's official name in the school records.
Leyla is visibly shocked by this revelation, her concern deepening.
REYHAN
(nervous)
Mom... Emir questioned me about it.
Leyla, placing her hands on Reyhan's arms, inquires further.
LEYLA
(worried)
What did you tell him? Did you tell him everything?
Reyhan reassures her mother.
REYHAN
(assuring)
Of course not, Mom. Emir isn't a man who can be easily handled in such situations. But I told him about the promise.
Leyla, somewhat relieved but still concerned, seeks clarification.
LEYLA
(relieved)
You told him about our promise... Reyhan, you...
Reyhan quickly clarifies her stance.
REYHAN
(emphatic)
No, Mom. It's a promise between us. It will always remain safe with me. I just told him that I'm bound by a promise, but he doesn't know anything more than that.
Leyla looks at Reyhan with a mix of concern and urgency.
LEYLA
(serious)
Reyhan, you know, we have to keep this hidden from Emir.
Reyhan, her voice trembling with panic, reassures Leyla.
REYHAN
(assuring)
Yes, Mom, I know.
Leyla's tone becomes even more intense as she reminds Reyhan.
LEYLA
(urgent)
Reyhan, if Emir ever find out about all this... He will hate Hikmet, his own father.
The scene transitions to a poignant flashback where Hikmet is shown lying in bed, taking his last breath. He holds Leyla's hand, while Reyhan stands nearby, holding a little Elif in her arms. Hikmet's voice is weak as he speaks to Leyla.
HIKMET
(whispering)
Leyla... I'm your culprit... I did injustice with you and Emir..I did this... But please, don't let Emir ever get to know about this. I can never bear to see the hate in his eyes. Leyla, Reyhan... promise me...
Leyla's eyes well up with tears as Hikmet shares his last wishes. She looked up at Reyhan who was equally emotional at that moment.
The scene continues at present where Reyhan and Leyla both looking emotionally overwhelmed reminding the promise they made to keep a dark secret from Emir, one that they continue to uphold till present.
