Omer: Esma?

Esma: Nothing yet. I will check one more thing.

Omer: Okay.

Omer He held his wife's hand. They were both scared. Esma checked something else to be sure. Her expression changed immediately.

...

Omer: Darling, open your eyes.

Esma: Can you hear me?

Kıvılcım opened her eyes after a few minutes. Omer and Esma were worried about her.

Esma: Everything all right?

Omer: You scared us.

Kıvılcım: What happened?

Esma: You have lost consciousness.

Kıvılcım: Is what you said true? Our baby... is dead?

Esma: What are you saying? I didn't say anything like that.

Kıvılcım: How? You said 'I don't see any reaction from the baby', and later 'I don't know how to say... I'm so sorry'.

Esma and Omer didn't understand what was going on.

Esma: I didn't say anything like that. Kıvılcım, are you sure you are all right?

Kıvılcım: Yes. But you said ...

Esma: I think it is nerves. You fainted for a moment after I said 'I need to make sure'.

Kıvılcım: So I imagined it?

Omer: Yes.

Kıvılcım started laughing.

Esma: Your child is healthy, but is developing very slowly.

Omer: Is this something serious?

Esma: At the moment, I can't say definitively. But don't worry. You will come here every week for a check-up.

Omer: Okay.

Esma [with huge smile on her face]: Yes.

Omer: Don't faint next time, 'cause you start saying weird things.

Kıvılcım: Don't joke. What if something happened to me?

Omer: Nothing is gonna happen to you. Our baby, too. [he smiled]

Kıvılcım: When Esma said she had to check on something, I got scared.

Omer: Me too, but luckily everything is fine.

Kıvılcım: Yes.

They stopped in front of the car. They stood against each other.

Omer: From now on, everything will be fine. Believe me.

Kıvılcım: I believe.
