16 FLASHBACK EXT OAK TREE DAY
Extreme long shot. AREZOU, CAPRICE and SARISHA are sitting under the oak tree. They are enjoying having picnic under the shade of the tree. Sunlight goes right down through the gaps of the leaves. They are sitting firmly and smiling brightly.
17 EXT OAK TREE DUSK
AREZOU looks at the sky. It is reddish sky and then looks at CAPRICE. Over the shoulder of CAPRICE, AREZOU asks;
AREZOU
"Will you come back? Look, I know we have problems together. But I don't think that you wouldn't say yes to me if that's not true.
CAPRICE is feeling uncomfortable. She avoids AREZOU by looking at the river. There is the reflection of the sun. She stares at it but immediately looks at AREZOU. Over the shoulder of AREZOU, CAPRICE says;
CAPRICE
"Well, for that... I don't know. I'm not sure.
CAPRICE
But I'm trying to think about it for the past days, weeks, I don't know, maybe months. So, what do you think?"
Close up on their hands. Their hand is just inches away from each other. AREZOU's left hand slowly grabs the right hand of CAPRICE.
Medium shot. CAPRICE is looking straight while AREZOU is looking at her. CAPRICE smiles, she looks down at her left hand. Extreme close up on wedding ring. She looks at AREZOU and smiles at him.
CAPRICE
"Then it will be..."
Bird's eye view. CAPRICE kisses AREZOU; under the tree; fade to black.
