Erkenci Kuş is a rom-com-drama from Turkey. It surely packs a punch with the main leads & supporting cast, music & literature references, eccentric characters & great plot lines!
Turkey is where east meets west and there's that appeal & something fo...
Author's Note: I've been out for 3 weeks on vacation & binged on EK 46-48. EK is told from Sanem's POV & I've mostly written Can's POV in the moments that we don't see him on the show. He's dazed, confused, cautious and totally armored-up... and now he's not even looking for the stranger he kissed... so it's a cluster of sorts!!
But.... but... but my die-hard-romantic sense is totally woke & lit!! Just go with it....!!

I open my eyes and I'm in strange surroundings. It looks like a hospital room and I have no earthly idea how I got here! As I gain cognizance, I realize my head hurts badly, have an overwhelming thirst, my throat is dry and very sore.
As if on call, a nurse walks into my room, smiles to see that I'm awake and tells me that she'll call for the doctor. The doctor examines me thoroughly and tells me that I'm a-okay. He adds that my friends and family will join us any minute.
No sooner had he said it, in walk Baba, Huma, Emre and a young woman. The room is bustling with voices of concern and care. I'm informed that I was in an accident and I inquire if anyone else was hurt. The young woman answers that she was with me but she wasn't hurt. Who is that? I wonder!
I ask Huma for some water and the young woman sits next to me, asks me how I feel and if my head hurts. There is something oddly familiar about her but I can't quite place it. She surely must be a doctor or nurse and I appropriately thank her for her concern.
Suddenly the doctor asks if I recognize everyone in the room. Yes, I do. There's Baba, Emre and even Huma managed to make an appearance. That simply means that I was in a bad accident. And then I pause at the stranger not knowing whether or not I know her.
She says "I'm Sanem" and I ask her if she's the Doctor.

She repeats "I'm Sanem, Your Sanem" !! Waaiii.... My Sanem?
She starts to tear up, looks very sad and devastated. My head is spinning and I am totally confused. Am I supposed to know her? How did she become my Sanem? I don't have anything or anyone that belongs to me, not even fleetingly, so this is all very strange to me!
Baba, Emre and Huma explain that I'm experiencing some memory loss. The last thing I remember is the day of the 40th Anniversary party for the agency and it appears that I've lost 2 years of my life! I press further about Sanem and they explain that her and I are in love, big, deep, life-altering love with each other!
OH.MY.GOD!!
I broke up with Polen and Sanem is the center of my world..... apparently! But I don't remember a thing about her, nothing at all! I'm writhing, twisting and turning in my bed trying to wrack my brain of memories of her and my head starts to hurt even further! I'm cleared to leave the hospital as nothing is psychically wrong with me. All I need is the outdoors and fresh air, I tell myself and walk out of the room.
