Bound by Destiny: The Journey of Emir and Elif

✨️✨️✨️........continuation......✨️✨️✨️

...Scene: Arda and Derya Preparing to Leave for the Airport...

*Arda finally agrees to Derya's plan, and they both get ready to leave for the airport.*

**Arda:** Miss Splashy, we both need to change our clothes. I can't go looking like this after you drenched me.

**Derya:** (laughing) Sure, go change. I'll also put on something nice to impress our guests.

*Arda chuckles as they both head off to change. After a few minutes, Arda comes out, waiting for Derya. When he sees her, his eyes widen in surprise.*

**Arda:** (smiling) Wow, you look amazing in black.

**Derya:** I know I look pretty, but it doesn't mean you have to stare at me like that. By the way, where did you get that dress?

**Arda:** (confused) From where did you get this dress in the office?

**Derya:** (smiling) Meryam gave it to me from the emergency closet. I didn't even know that existed in our office.

*Arda laughs as they both get into the car and head to the airport.*

... Elif and Emir's Unexpected Shelter...

....Scene: Elif and Emir on the Road....

Elif and Emir have been walking for a long time and are exhausted. They finally find a small shop and start looking for something to eat. When it's time to pay, Emir realizes he left his wallet in the car.

**Emir:** I forgot my wallet in the car.

*Elif makes a frustrated face. An old couple, Nalan and Halit, behind them overhears and offers to help.*

**Nalan:** It's okay, we'll pay for them.

*Nalan looks at Elif and says,*

**Nalan:** Come here, dear.

Elif looks at Emir and then back at Nalan, following her outside the shop.

**Nalan:** You should feed your husband almonds. They improve memory.

**Elif:** (laughs awkwardly) Actually, we're not married. We're out on office work, and our car got a puncture. We've been walking for a long time looking for a place to stay because it will take too long to go back.

*Nalan puts her hand on Elif's head.*

**Nalan:** For today, you and your husband can stay at our home.

*Emir and Halit join them, smiling. They all head to Nalan and Halit's house. On the way, Elif whispers to Emir.*

**Elif:** Mr. Emir, they think we are husband and wife. That's why they are offering us shelter.

**Emir:** (smiling) I guess we won't find any other place in this area tonight. It's better for your safety.

*Elif smiles to herself.*

**Elif:** (thinking) How can he be so sweet all of a sudden? This strict man is so confusing.

They arrive at the house, and Nalan welcomes them.

**Nalan:** Come with me.

She leads them to a room.

**Nalan:** You can stay in my daughter's room. She got married and moved out, so it's empty now. You both can sleep here tonight.

*Elif and Emir exchange awkward smiles.

**Nalan:** Freshen up, and I'll prepare dinner.

*Emir closes the door, and Elif, nervous, speaks to him.
