SEVEN YEARS LATER

INT. REYHAN'S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - MORNING

Reyhan, now a mother, sits with her seven-year-old daughter, Elif. The house is filled with warmth and laughter, but Reyhan's eyes still carry a hint of sadness. Emir's absence has left a void that she's struggled to fill.

INT. REYHAN'S HOUSE - ELIF'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

Reyhan tucks Elif into bed, and Elif looks up at her with curious eyes.

ELIF
(innocently)
Mommy, why don't we have a daddy?

Reyhan hesitates, trying to find the right words.

REYHAN
(softly)
Sweetheart, sometimes things happen in life that we can't control. But we have each other, and that's what matters most.

Reyhan kisses Elif's forehead and turns off the lights.

REYHAN
(whispering)
Sleep well, my love.

As she leaves the room, her heart aches, and she gazes at a picture of Emir on the wall, wondering where he is and if they'll ever be a family again.

CUT TO

INT. UNKNOWN LOCATION - DIMLY LIT ROOM - MORNING

Emir's eyes flutter open, struggling against the effects of the sedatives that have clouded his memory for years. He slowly regains consciousness, his gaze falling upon the woman sleeping beside him, MIRAL.

EMIR
(confused)
Who... who is she?

Emir's voice is shaky, his mind a foggy labyrinth. He touches his heavy beard, realizing he hasn't seen himself in years. Panic sets in as he tries to piece together his fragmented memories.

EMIR
(whispering)
Where am I? What happened to me?

Miral stirs awake, flashing Emir a warm, possessive smile, believing her years of obsession have finally paid off.

MIRAL
(tenderly)
Good morning, my love.

EMIR
(whispering)
Your love? Do I... do I know you?

Emir's confusion is palpable. His eyes search the room for any clues, but nothing seems familiar.

MIRAL
(caressing his face)
Emir, darling, don't you remember? We've been together for years. You had an accident, and your memory...

Emir's face contorts with frustration as he grapples with his amnesia.

EMIR
(frustrated)
I can't remember anything. Who am I? Where's my family?

Miral hides her excitement, feigning sympathy.

MIRAL
(teary-eyed)
Emir, my love, don't you remember? You had an accident years ago. You lost your memory.

Emir rubs his temples, struggling to recall anything beyond the haze in his mind.

EMIR
(whispering)
Accident... memory?

Miral leans closer, placing a gentle kiss on his Cheek.

MIRAL
(teary-eyed)
Yes, my darling. It's been a long journey, but I've been here by your side. We're married, Emir, deeply in love.

Emir's memory remains a foggy abyss, and he looks at Miral with uncertainty.

EMIR
(uncertain)
Married?

Miral nods, feigning sadness.

MIRAL
Yes, my dear. We've been through so much together. But we're strong, and our love will conquer all.

Emir's mind is a jumbled mess, and he's unable to piece together his past. He reaches out, touching Miral's face as if searching for familiarity.

EMIR
(lost)
I... I love you?

Miral smiles, her plan unfolding perfectly.

MIRAL
(teary-eyed)
And I love you more than anything in this world, Emir.

Miral leans in, pretending to be affectionate, but her eyes gleam with satisfaction.

MIRAL
(caressing his face)
My love, sometimes you forget things. It is nothing but the effect of that accident.

Emir's lost gaze lingers on Miral, the only person he believes he knows.
