𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 1🍒

INT. LIVING ROOM - EVENING
[Everyone's gone. Demir and Zuleyha are on the vacation with the kids. It is about 8pm and the telephone rings. Hünkar picks up couriously.]

HY: "Hello?'' [Waiting in silence for a few seconds]
ARF: "Yaman hanım...Good evening.''

[Hünkar is surprised. Her eyes are closed]

HY: "Ali Rahmet.''
ARF: "I..."

HY: ''You what?! What do you want?"
ARF: ''Hünkar...''
HY: ''To forgive you?!''
ARF: ''Don't...Hünkar...''
HY: Fekeli!"
ARF: "Can we please talk?''
HY: ''You're the one who said goodbye, there's nothing to talk about.''
ARF: ''I am very sorry Hünkar...''
HY: ''I always loved you. I have waited you for so long. But you didn't come."
ARF: ''I forgave you. I can't live without forgiving you. But now... I need you to forgive me. Please."
HY: ''I can't do it through the phone, but i invite you here."

[After Hünkar accepeted their meeting, Fekeli comes to her house. She's sitting on the chair. He knocks. She moves when she hears the knocks. She knows it's him. Goes to the door and opens it seriously.]

HY: ''Welcome."
ARF: ''Glad I'm here."

[He comes in, Hünkar closes the door and they both head to the living room. She moves her hand, showing at the chair.]

HY: ''Sit."
ARF: ''Thank you."

[He sits on the chair, next to Hünkar.]

HY: ''So..."

[They look at each other in silence. He moves forward and holds her hands.]

ARF: "Hünkarım...You're my heart."

[He stands up and takes off her scarf. He slowly moves it to his nose and smells it.]

ARF: "40 years... I can't believe it."

[She reaches for her scarf but his hand moves up.]

HY: ''I am Yaman hanım!''

[Ali Rahmet moves closer and whispers into her ear.]

ARF: ''But you should be Fekeli hanım."

[She looks at his eyes, a few centimeters away. He slowly puts the scarf back around her neck and kisses it. Hünkar is in worries.]

HY: "Someone could see us."
ARF: "Don't worry."
HY: "Stop what if-"
ARF: "No one will, trust me."

[Hünkar places her hand on his head worried]
[That second he stands up, steps behind her chair, bends over and kisses her neck. He starts to leave. Hünkar looks back at him and looks at her ring.]

HY: "I was Yaman all this time."

[Ali Rahmet stops and turns around as she puts her ring down]

ARF: "I wasn't happy. I couldn't have you."

[He steps to her and grabs her hands, she stands up]

HY: "Never leave me."
ARF: "If you trust me now...You know I'll never leave."

[She smiles at him and they hug]

EXT. BALCONY - NIGHT
[Hünkar walks out of her bedroom, on the balcony. Slowly walks towards the fence. She stops and places her hands on it. She looks down to Ali Rahmet. He looks up her balcony and smiles. She slowly waves at him. He raises his hand and sits in his car. They look at each other with a smile. He drives off]

EXT. ALI RAHMET'S HOUSE - THE NEXT DAY
[Hünkar arrives at Ali Rahmet's house. Steps out of the car and goes up the stairs to the front door. She knocks a few times but nobody opens. She goes to the backyard and sees Ali Rahmet by the fence. She walks up to him and stops]

HY: "I was looking for you."
ARF: "A Hünkar? What's going on?"
HY: "Just wanted to see you."

[She moves up to him, he smiles]

ARF: "And I wanted to see you... Welcome."
HY: "Thanks..."
ARF: "Something happend?"
HY: "Uhhmm... I spoke to Demir and he said they have to stay for a bit longer..."
ARF: "Oh really? Did something happen there?"
HY: "Well I don't think so, yet again, you know he never tells me if something is wrong because he doesn't want me to worry."
ARF: "And I don't want to see this beautiful woman to worry."

[She smiles and looks around, Ali Rahmet places his hand on her back and moves forward]

ARF: "Ah Hünkar... Come, you want tea, coffee?"
HY: "No, thanks."
ARF: "You're my guest, please"
HY: "You have to talk with me?"
ARF: "Yes. Coffee?"
HY: "Okay, okay, if you insist."

[They walk up to the table in the backyard]

ARF: "Nazire! Please bring coffee for Yaman hanım!"
N: "Right away, Fekeli bey."
HY: "Here is very pretty, but i miss that place..."
ARF: "We could go there tomorrow."

[Nazire brings coffee for Hünkar]

N: "Afiyet olsun Hünkar hanım."
HY: "Thank you."

[Nazire leaves]

ARF: "Hünkar..."
HY: "Hmm?"
ARF: "Would you like to eat dinner with me tonight?"
HY: "I... Sure. I would love to."
ARF: "I'll pick you up at 7?"
HY: "Sure..."

[They look at each other and share a smile]
