INT. MIRAL'S ROOM - CONTINUOUS

MIRAL
(suggestively)
I'll manage on my own; you just get the dress from the wardrobe.

Emir, complying with Miral's request, walks over to the wardrobe to fetch her a fresh dress. He keeps his gaze averted, not wanting to entertain any unnecessary attention.

Emir nods and continues his task. As he retrieves the dress, Miral, with deliberate intent, starts undoing a few buttons on her dress to seduce Emir.

Emir turns to hand her the dress, and just as he takes a step toward her, he slips on the wet floor caused by the spilled water. In a fraction of a second, Emir lands on top of Miral, their faces are mere inches apart, and Emir's nose is almost touching Miral's revealing décolletage.

INT. MIRAL'S ROOM - CONTINUOUS

Just at that moment, Reyhan enters the room, having misunderstood the entire situation. Her eyes widen in shock and disbelief at the scene before her: Emir's proximity to Miral, the unbuttoned dress, and the wet floor. It appears to be an intimate moment between her husband and Miral.

REYHAN
(heartbroken and angry)
Emir!

Reyhan's voice is filled with hurt and rage as she rushes out of the room, unable to bear the sight before her.

Reyhan's eyes blaze with anger and hurt as she confronts Emir, who is still on the bed, trying to regain his composure.

REYHAN
(voice trembling)
Emir, what is happening here?

Emir, struggling to find the right words, quickly gets up from the floor. His face flushes with embarrassment.

EMIR
(reaching out to Reyhan)
Reyhan, it's not what it looks like. I slipped on the wet floor, and...

Before Emir can finish his explanation, Miral, seizing the opportunity to manipulate the situation, intervenes.

MIRAL
(dramatic and tearful)
Oh, Emir, I can't believe this is happening. I feel so embarrassed. I never wanted you to see me like this.

Reyhan is torn between her jealousy and her desire to trust Emir. She looks from Emir to Miral, her emotions in turmoil.

Emir is desperate to clear the misunderstanding but realizes that Reyhan is deeply hurt.

EMIR
(earnestly)
Reyhan, please, trust me. I love only you. It is not what it looks like. Trust me.

MIRAL
(mockingly)
Yes, Reyhan, there's nothing like that.

INT. TARHUN HOUSE - HALLWAY - CONTINUOUS

Reyhan, her eyes still moist with tears, walking in the hallway, emotionally torn. Emir, desperate to mend their relationship, approaches her and wraps his arms around her, holding her tightly.

EMIR
(pleading)
Reyhan, please, you have to believe me. I love you, only you. I would never betray our love like that.

Reyhan remains silent, her heart in turmoil. She wants to trust Emir but the image of him so close to Miral lingers in her mind.

Just then, the front door swings open, and Hikmet and Leyla return from their trip. They step into the living room, calling for Reyhan and Emir.

HIKMET
(calling out)
Reyhan? Emir? We're back!

Reyhan and Emir exchange a worried glance, realizing they must face Hikmet and Leyla, who have returned to a house filled with tension and uncertainty. The future of their relationship hangs in the balance.

INT. TARHUN HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - MORNING

Emir and Reyhan put on a facade of normalcy as they greet Hikmet and Leyla, who have just returned from their trip. They exchange pleasantries, attempting to hide the underlying tension that has gripped their relationship.

INT. TARHUN HOUSE - BEDROOM - CONTINUOUS

Emir and Reyhan enter their bedroom, finally alone. The atmosphere is thick with unspoken words.

EMIR
(softly)
Reyhan, we need to talk.

Reyhan, still brimming with anger, responds sharply.

REYHAN
(angry)
Talk? What's left to talk about? I don't want to hear any more excuses, Emir.

EMIR
(defensive)
But Reyhan, I—

Reyhan cuts him off.

REYHAN
(frustrated)
No, Emir. I've made up my mind. Tomorrow, I'm leaving.

Emir is taken aback, his face reflecting a mixture of disbelief and pain.

EMIR
(confused)
Leave? Reyhan, what do you mean?

REYHAN
(resolute)
I can't stay in a place where my husband, his lover  and I have to live under the same roof. Emir, finding evidence for Nihan's murder is your responsibility, not mine. Why would I and my child have to suffer in all this?

Reyhan's words hang heavily in the air, and for a moment, she regrets the harshness of her decision. Emir, stunned by her words, struggles to respond.

EMIR
(hurt)
Okay Fine, if that's what you want. I'll leave. Reyhan, you have hurted me so much.....I never expected these words from you

Emir's anger flares, and he storms out of the room, leaving Reyhan alone with the weight of her ultimatum. Their once-happy home now feels like a battleground of hurt and miscommunication.
