Reyyan and Miran escaped from their konak (mansion), where stress and frustration never ends. While they walk around, they keep looking at each other with never-ending longing in their eyes, as if they were separated for a long time. Well, that was actually the case. Either they had arguments and left each other or others forced them to stay distant. But this time they promised to keep everything behind, even if it's just for a day. This lovely couple finds a beautiful place with a breathtaking view to the city and they sit down.
Reyyan tries to believe that she's having a peaceful moment with the man she loves the most. Even though she has been in the deepest abyss because of Miran, she feels blessed to have him in her life. He is not only her husband, but rather a prince riding a white horse who turns out to be a beast with a pure heart that is capable of loving selflessly. After the tortures she went through because of his planned revenge, Miran was the one who lifted her up. Now, she believes in fairytales again.
Miran tries to forget the bad memories and his sins. He rather remembers the first time he met her. Suddenly a smile appears on his happy face. Reyyan notices that and asks, "What's going on in your mind, Miran Bey?"
He doesn't say a word and keeps smiling, this time mischievously. This behavior increases Reyyan's curiosity. "Miraaan!!", she grumbles. "Efendiiiim?!", he responds and enjoys teasing her. Just when Reyyan is about to get annoyed, Miran stops goofing around.
"Tamam, i'm really sorry" he apologizes, "but you're so adorable when you get mad". "Yaa Miran, please be serious now" demands Reyyan.
Miran looks at the pink sky while recalling their trip to Göbekli Tepe. "Do you remember Reyyan..?", he asks with a calm voice, "the time when we shouted out our names to the ancient stones?". "Of course I do", Reyyan replies wondering what he is going to say next. Miran continues, "I told you they have seen legendary love stories and that they will also witness ours". Reyyan stays silent and listens to her husband with full attention. Miran tells her that they are not the first witnesses of their love. "Allahallah", Reyyan reacts surprised and tries to guess what or who witnessed their love first.
Miran starts caressing Reyyan's soft and curly hair. The focus of his eyes lies on the hair clip which is in the shape of a butterfly.
"The day I saw you for the first time..", he starts telling with sparkling eyes, "you dropped your hair clip in front of an antique store. I was right behind you and picked it up. My only plan was to give it back to its owner." Reyyan gets excited as she wants to know more about his first impressions and feelings.
Miran continues, "In the store I found you. As soon as I saw your pretty and shining face, I lost control about myself. I hadn't seen such goodness and innocence in someone's appearance before. You looked fragile and yet strong. Childish and yet wise. I was hypnotized. My feet followed you just like my eyes. All my life I was wandering like a shadow or ghost until you turned around and looked at me. Suddenly I felt alive. In that moment something happened to me. It was an unknown and frightening experience, to be honest. A strange feeling in my chest. For the first time in my life I heard my heart beating. I forgot that I had one. But just when I found my lost heart, it no more belonged to me."
Reyyan can't even believe that Miran is pouring his heart out to her. She absorbs every single word he utters, as if she's going to engrave them in her heart.
Miran goes on, "You went out very quickly and I was worried because I thought that I've scared you. I ran after you trying to catch a glimpse of your divine beauty but you had already disappeared with your companions." Reyyan gets emotional but is still able to hold back her tears when asking "Sonra?".
Miran looks at her and touches her nose very gently with his index finger. He puts his arm around her and answers, "Sonra karıcım.. I realized that I need you badly. Because I knew that you're not just my one & only love but also my life savior." Reyyan's eyes fill with tears and she asks "Nasıl?", with a shaking voice.
"As you know my life was full of darkness and hatred before you entered my life," Miran starts explaining, "but just a look at you was enough to fill my dark soul with light and my cold heart with warmth.
You saved my life, Reyyan Şadoğlu!"
While Reyyan wipes her tiny tears away, she can't stop herself from giggling a bit when correcting him with her sweet accent "Aslanbey".
A quick "Efendim?!" comes from Miran's side, not because he didn't listen but he wanted to hear it again"
She proudly repeats, "Aslanbey.. I am Reyyan ASLANBEYYY!". Miran can't stop himself from giving Reyyan a tight cuddly hug.
A short while later he kisses her forehead . That's when he notices that she's crying. Even though he knows the answer, he asks her "Why are you crying, birtanem?", and holds her flawless face with both hands and wipes away her tears with his thumbs. "Because of the overflowing love that I feel for you", she answers as one more tear drops down from her eye. Miran immediately catches the tear by kissing her cheek while he's inhaling Reyyan's drug-like fragrance. Then he whispers in her ear saying, "So now you know the first witness of our never-ending love!"
