Another Chance At Love

Ep 126: Will they Seperate?

INT. EMIR AND REYHAN'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

Emir enters their bedroom and finds Reyhan sitting on the bed, still sobbing. He approaches her with a remorseful expression, wanting to explain his sudden disappearance.

EMIR
(softly)
Reyhan...

Reyhan remains silent and doesn't look at him, her face still clouded with sadness.

EMIR
(apologetic)
Reyhan, I'm truly sorry. I had to leave urgently for something unexpected. It all happened so suddenly that I couldn't inform you.

Reyhan slowly turns to face Emir, her eyes swollen from crying. She's hurt and upset.

Emir feels the weight of Reyhan's pain and regret.

EMIR
(Softly)
Reyhan..You are crying..what happened my love.

Emir wanting to comfort her, tried to place his hand over her cheek.

REYHAN
Don't touch me, Emir... Don't touch me.. Stay away.

She flinches away, pushing his hand aside.

Emir
(gentle)
Reyhan, we need to talk about this. Let me explain.

Reyhan's tears continue to fall as she looks at Emir, her emotions still raw.

Emir's expression shifts from confusion to deep concern as he realizes the depth of Reyhan's pain and anger. He takes a step back, allowing her the space she needs to collect herself.

Reyhan is still sitting on the bed, tears streaming down her face. Emir stands before her, his frustration evident in his tone and body language.

Emir: (exasperated) What happened, Reyhan? Seriously, tell me. I don't know why you're behaving like this. I had to leave because it was urgent. Why are you dragging it so much?

Reyhan: (teary-eyed) Am I dragging it?

Reyhan meets Emir's gaze, her eyes searching for understanding and empathy.

Emir: (frustrated) I can't believe you're making such a big deal out of this. I had my reasons, Reyhan.

Reyhan: (upset) It was your birthday, Emir. We planned it for you. I, your mom, and Elif were waiting for you and you were busy in..

EMIR
(Frustrated)
yes what? I was busy in what? You know everything huh? Just complete what you want to say.

But Reyhan stayed silent.

Emir's face tightens, clearly weighed down by the burden of his own secret.

Emir: (guarded) I can't tell you where I was, Reyhan. Try to understand.

Reyhan: (determined) And why can't you tell me?

Emir's frustration escalates, and he's reminded of Seher's plea not to share the incident with anyone. He hesitates but maintains his stance.

With that, Emir turns his back to Reyhan, standing there making her feel shut out and hurt. Reyhan was sitting and looking at Emir.

Emir turns back to face her, his expression a mixture of regret, frustration, and determination.

Emir:
(firmly)
There are so many things, Reyhan which you have kept hidden from me. Every time I tried to understand.. and this time I want the same from your side.

Reyhan
(Shouting)
Emir, I had reasons for that.

Emir
(Tense)
I have reasons too.

The room falls into a tense silence, the unresolved issues between Emir and Reyhan hanging heavily in the air.

Emir, visibly hurt and confused, is about to leave the room when Reyhan pleads for his attention.

Reyhan: (desperate) Stop, Emir.

Emir turned to look at her.

Reyhan: I think we can't go on like this, with all the confusions, questions, and complexities...

Emir turns to face her, his teary eyes locking onto hers.

Emir: (concerned) What do you mean?

Reyhan takes a deep breath, attempting to muster her strength.

Reyhan: (resolute) I think we should give each other some time...

Emir's voice trembles as he struggles to understand.

Emir: (distressed) What are you saying, Reyhan? Time for what? We're a married couple. We can work through this together.

Reyhan continues, trying to stay strong.

Reyhan: (firmly) Emir, this isn't working for me. We need a break.

Emir, shocked, searches for words to respond.

Emir: (incredulous) Working? What are you talking about? Reyhan, we're married. This isn't some teenage relationship to end at the drop of a hat. Marriage is a strong bond, Reyhan. How can you suggest this?

Reyhan: (resolute) I don't know, Emir, but I want this separation.

Emir grabs Reyhan's arms, his voice filled with urgency.

Emir: (frantic) Reyhan, are you out of your senses? You're talking about separating us? We have a daughter we have responsibilities...

Reyhan: (emotional) Elif will be my responsibility.

Emir's grip on Reyhan's arms loosens as he tries to process the magnitude of her words. Reyhan looks down, struggling to hold back her tears.

Reyhan: (choking on her words) Emir, I need time to figure things out... I need space...

Emir's anguish is palpable as he refuses to accept the idea of separating from their daughter.

Emir: (firmly) No, Elif is my daughter. She's my blood.

Reyhan's voice trembles with emotions as she recounts her past struggles.

Reyhan: (teary-eyed) Emir, you're forgetting that I raised our daughter alone. When she was born, she had a high fever, and I was too weak to take care of her. You weren't there. I was there. I know how I raised my daughter without a father...

Emir interrupts, unable to bear the remainder of his past mistakes.

Emir: (heartbroken) How many times will you highlight my absence, Reyhan? I'm here now, so talk about the present...

Reyhan falls silent, her emotions overwhelming her. He wipes away his tears. His expression is a mix of pain and disbelief.

The song "Tujhe Bhula Diya" was playing in the background.

With a heavy heart, he turns and leaves the room, closing the door behind him. Reyhan sits on the bed, her face buried in her hands, consumed by the overwhelming emotion of the moment.
