Sanem’s Flashback. At the restaurant. How Can and Sanem met

Can: How did we get to know each other? Oh, that’s a long story!
Sanem: Tell them! Come on!
Ca: to tell the truth we met by chance in Amsterdam! We were having dinner in the same restaurant. Each of us with our companies of friends. While everybody was talking, we looked into each other’ eyes intensely in the and … thus our spark of love began. On that real moment I understood Sanem was the right woman for me.
Sanem: My love!
Abdul: What an unexpected encounter! And , what about you Sanem? What did you think when you first met Can?
Sanem: I felt the same intense emotion as did Can!
Can: I remember Sanem was sitting in front of me and wearing a wonderful black silk dress, her eyes were shining like the necklace she was wearing. Her long brown hair gathered in a low bun, every time she smiled I felt the butterflies in my stomach. And it still happens to me today whenever I see him.

During the presentation of Sanem’s novel

Umit: Sanem!
Sanem: Thank you all for coming to Bad King or Big Friendly Giant.
Ömer: What made you choose that title?
Sanem: I chose it because it is the protagonist’s personal and recurrent question
in the novel. The protagonist is always wondering about his beloved true identity
Asena: Did Can manage to overcome the trauma of separation or not?
Sanem: It's hard to forget ...
Dilara: Is there a sequel, where the couple may be brought back together?
Sanem: "Happily ever after" exists only in fairy tales.

Umit: How did you find the presentation?
Sanem: All right, why?
Umit: I saw you looked a bit distracted. What were you thinking about?
Sanem: I wasn't thinking about something particular. Don't worry, thanks! I have to clear my
mind and be alone for some time.
Umit: Take the time you need. I’ll always be there for you.
Sanem: You are welcome Umit!

At the yatch

Can: Aunt? It is you?
Aunt: Can, how long!
Can: What are you doing here? Can’t believe my eyes!
Aunt: I came to see you! Aren't you happy to see me? Where 'the hell are you going?
Are you running away from somebody?
Can: I'm happy aunt but don't always ask me embarrassing questions, I'm not running away from anyone.
Aunt: Well! You're running away from me, then. You never answer the phone …


Emre: Dad!
Aziz: Son! I find you in an excellent shape! You look so fit!
Emre: You look gorgeous, too!
Aziz: Thank you! This comfortable life helps me! Come on, let's go and take a seat! Allah only knows all that you have to tell me! I know Can has left and he has not appeared for a long while. What about the company? How is it going?
Emre: It's all right but without Can matters are really hard. He has always been the most creative one!
Aziz: Come on Emre, don't say that. You are keeping the agency afloat with your strength only now.
Emre: Yes, I know but now things are different.
Aziz: Don't allow this to get you down you. First of all we are a family and you know you
can trust all the staff.
Emre: But responsibility is really a serious matter.
Aziz: Indeed, the responsibility is yours, son. Anyway, don't allow all this to influence your life. What matters
is your happiness. So you have to do everything you love with passion and determination and you’ll be paid back.
Emre: Thank you for your support, Dad.
Aziz: Don't think about results. Always, follow your heart. Stop talking about work now! Tell me how are things going with Aylin.
Emre:Well, things didn’t go on well with her: we broke up. Unfortunately, she wasn’t the right person for me.
Aziz: I’m sorry, even if honestly I have always thought you weren’t well matched. I know Can has had problems with Sanem too.
Emre: Yes, matters were difficult and led them to follow different paths. And, that’s why Can left for Italy: a year has already gone since we could spoke a little
Aziz: You know what he is really like: he has always been a free spirit.
Aunt: You have made a long voyage: Morocco, Spain, Italy, Greece …Tell me something about all that. I haven’t seen and heard you for a year. You must have been be very busy.

Can: Yes, true.
Aunt: Why did you suddenly decide to leave? Are you escaping from somebody? Maybe
from Sanem?
Can: It’s too complex to explain. Sanem is angry with me and she doesn’t want to see me again.
Aunt: Yes, indeed I don’t understand. How can you think escape may be the answer to your
problems? Since when running away has shown to solve a problem?
Can: Sanem is furious and she doesn’t want to ever see me again.
Aunt: Can! But what did you really do to settle the matter? Have you tried to make amend for your
mistakes? Or, have you given up right from the start? When you left, you hurt many people’s hearts: your
family, Sanem! But if you want, you can still fix it up. I mean did you try to make her understand how you feel! Are you a brave man or not?
Can: I am brave until I find myself facing the highest obstacle and that’s love.
Aunt: Love will always be an obstacle if you consider it such: open your heart and choose to love unconditionally!
Can: I don't know how she could react after all that has happened to her
Aunt: Probably you don't even know why you haven't tried it!
Can: You're right ...
Aunt: Don't wait, please. Take advantage of the moment! Leave your fear behind! Act without regrets ... I am telling you all that out of experience! Ah Can, I forgot, I have a gift for you, I hope it will help clarify your ideas!

In Sanem’s garden

Fulya: Hi darling!
Sanem: He's back! He’s back! Help me! What shall I do?
Fulya: Ok! That’s all right! Take a breath and relax and slowly explain what happened to you from the start! Are you sure it was Can?
Sanem: Of course it was him, I was at the theatre when I heard footsteps behind me, I turned back
and saw him ... maybe he didn't want to be recognized!
Fulya: Explain yourself clearly ... What do you mean? Do you think Can didn’t want to be recognized?
Sanem: When I turned back he went away without even saying a word!
Fulya: Are you sure it was Can? Do you think Can did not want to be recognised?
Sanem: No, I'm sure it was Can ... now what? I'm not ready to see him again.
Fulya: If you don't feel like talking to him, don't do it! Nobody forces you!
Sanem: I don't want to go back to the start , I can't allow him to return in my life and
turn it upside down.
Fulya: Maybe you're having too many problems? What if your life improves?
Sanem: It's all so strange and unexpected ... I don't know how I feel!
Fulya: Give your love a chance!
Sanem: Maybe you're right! You're a true friend! Do you remember how Can and I met?
How strange life is! It makes us meet after a long time and on the very day I present my ... or rather
our book! Maybe this is a star- crossed time

LYRICS SONG:

in flames, i'm burning
ice of my heart melts in love..
i can't keep my fist up, can't hold out
..and i get afriad when your glance hits me..
(maybe;)
if we weren't late a few 'loves', to each other
if we weren't exhausted, after mistakes.
(but now...)
i'm burning in flames! it's true!
though do i reborn out of my ashes, towards you?
while i look for myself; here i am, where i afraid to be:
i am into you!
so take me! do whatever you want!
so take me.. do anything you want..
you are the pretty sunflower, which looks for the light
and i am like a debris, which is longing to the dust of your path
yes, right! i am burning in flames..
but do i reborn out of my ashes towards you?
here i am; into you, while i look for my existence...
i'm here, where i afraid to be
so take me.. do whatever you want!
take me...
