INT. UNKNOWN LOCATION - LIVING ROOM - CONTINUOUS

Emir sits up on the bed, still struggling to piece together his fragmented memory. Miral watches him closely, maintaining her facade of a loving wife.

MIRAL
(softly)
Emir, sweetheart, I made your favorite breakfast. Let's eat together like we always do.

Emir, with a blank expression, follows Miral to the dining area. The room is tastefully decorated, and Emir glances around, feeling like a stranger in his own life.

EMIR
(confused)
This place... it's so unfamiliar.

Miral serves him breakfast and sits down across from him, watching his every move.

MIRAL
(consoling)
I know, Emir. It's disorienting after the accident. But we've made beautiful memories here. Our love will help you remember.

Emir takes a tentative bite of his food, still lost in his own world.

EMIR
(distant)
Memories... I wish I could remember.

Miral reaches out and holds his hand, her grip firm and possessive.

MIRAL
(sweetly)
Don't worry, my love. We'll create new memories together. That's all that matters.

Emir looks at her, still unsure but finding solace in her presence.

EMIR
(resigned)
I guess you're right.

Emir doesn't know that the woman before him is the orchestrator of his lost memories, and he's a mere pawn in her obsession-fueled game.

INT. TARHUN INDUSTRIES - REYHAN'S OFFICE - MORNING

Reyhan, now a strong and capable businesswoman, sits behind her desk in her spacious office at Tarhun Industries. The walls are adorned with awards and accolades, a testament to her success in running the company. She's focused and determined, but there's a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Reyhan's daughter, ELIF, dressed in a school uniform, rushes into the room with a backpack slung over her shoulder.

ELIF
(excited)
Mom, I'm off to school! Don't forget, you promised to come to my school play this evening.

Reyhan smiles warmly and bends down to kiss Elif on the forehead.

REYHAN
Of course, my darling. Break a leg at your play, and I'll be there in the front row.

Elif gives her mother a quick hug before rushing out, leaving Reyhan to return to her work.

As the door closes, Reyhan's smile fades, and she gazes at a framed family photo on her desk, which includes Emir and her when she was pregnant. She traces her fingers over Emir's face.

REYHAN
(whispering)
Emir, where are you? Why did you leave us?

Reyhan has been shouldering the responsibility of Tarhun Industries and raising Elif on her own for years. She's convinced that Emir willingly abandoned them, unaware of the sinister plot that has kept him away.

INT. LEYLA'S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - SAME TIME

Leyla, now elderly and fragile, sits in her living room, her gaze fixed on the front door. She clings to the hope that one day Emir will return.

LEYLA
(whispering)
Emir, my son, please come back to us. Your family needs you.

The house is filled with photographs of Emir, a constant reminder of the son she longs to see again. But as the years pass, her hope slowly wanes.

INT. TARHUN INDUSTRIES - REYHAN'S OFFICE - DAY

Reyhan, elegantly dressed in a professional attire, sits behind her desk, engrossed in her work. Her office exudes an air of authority, reflecting her status as the head of Tarhun Industries.

Kerem, a colleague and good friend of Reyhan, knocks gently on the partially open door before entering. He's holding a cup of coffee and a warm smile.

KEREM
(teasing)
Reyhan, buried in paperwork as usual?

Reyhan looks up, her face lighting up with a smile when she sees Kerem. She appreciates his friendly presence in her otherwise demanding corporate world.

REYHAN
(smirking)
Well, someone has to keep this empire running smoothly, and it might as well be me.

Kerem chuckles and walks closer, placing the cup of coffee on her desk.

KEREM
(handing her coffee)
Here, your daily dose of energy. And don't forget, Elif's school play is today. She's so excited for you to be there.

Reyhan takes the coffee with gratitude, knowing that Kerem has always been supportive, not only as a colleague but also as a friend to her and a mentor to Elif.

REYHAN
(appreciative)
Thank you, Kerem. You're a lifesaver. I wouldn't know how to juggle everything without you.

KEREM
(smiling)
That's what friends are for, Reyhan. Plus, Elif is my best friend. I'll make sure she shines on stage tonight.

They share a warm glance, their bond evident in their easy camaraderie. Together, they navigate the complexities of both the corporate world and parenthood, providing support and strength to each other along the way.

INT. TARHUN INDUSTRIES - OFFICE CORRIDOR - DAY

Kerem stands at a distance, discreetly watching Reyhan as she manages her responsibilities with grace and determination. His heart aches with unspoken emotions. He's been harboring a deep affection for Reyhan, one that goes beyond friendship.

As he watches her interact with colleagues, her motherly concern for Elif, and her unwavering dedication to the company, Kerem can't help but admire her even more. Reyhan is a remarkable woman in his eyes, and his love for her has only grown over time.

KEREM
(whispering to himself)
Reyhan, you're incredible. Strong, kind, and beautiful.

Despite the longing in his heart, Kerem has never let his feelings disrupt their friendship. He cherishes their bond and is more than willing to accept Elif as part of his life if it means being with Reyhan.

KEREM
(determined)
Someday, Reyhan, I hope you'll see how much you mean to me, and I'll be here to support you and Elif, no matter what.

Kerem continues to watch Reyhan from afar, ready to stand by her side whenever she might need him, even if it's just as a friend. His love for her remains a silent but steadfast presence in his life.
