Come Accross
Leyla wakes up early in the morning. The sunlight shining into the large glass bedroom invites him to get out of bed. She takes a quick shower, chooses a simple but elegant dress, and heads to work as usual. While driving through the lively streets of Istanbul, she only thinks about the day's meetings and things to do. Leyla, 25, is a successful computer engineer and the CEO of her own technology company. She is focused on her career, self-confident and determined.
Oğuzhan, 36 years old, is one of Turkey's most popular pop stars. He gives concerts filled with the enthusiasm of his fans, but he feels an emptiness in his inner world. While his manager is explaining the day's program, Oğuzhan's mind is elsewhere; Maybe he's looking for a change.
That morning, Leyla goes to a luxury hotel for an important technology congress. The speech she will make at the congress is very important and that's why Leyla is a little nervous. She checks into the hotel and settles into her room. She leaves her suitcase in a corner and rests for a while while waiting for the congress to start.
The congress starts and Leyla makes a successful presentation. His speech on artificial intelligence and its future applications was greatly appreciated. She attends various panels throughout the day, makes important connections and gets inspiration for new projects. After a very busy and tiring day, she returns to her room in the evening. He was no longer in the mood to participate in the entertainment and concert held at the congress. They eat and chat with their friends and everyone goes to their rooms.
Leyla enters the hotel room tired. “A glass of wine would go really well right now,” she thinks to herself. She takes a bottle of wine from the minibar and pours a glass. She sits on the window seat and drinks a sip of wine while watching the city lights. She closes her eyes and tries to relieve the tiredness of the day.
Meanwhile, Oğuzhan also comes to the same hotel to perform at the congress. After the concert, he passes through the hotel lobby to retire to his room and heads to his room with his key. When she opens the door, she sees that there is someone inside and stops in surprise.
**Oğuzhan:** "Sorry, I think I entered the wrong room."
When Leyla hears Oğuzhan's voice, she opens her eyes and gets up in surprise.
**Leyla:** "No, I think there was a mistake. This room was reserved for me."
They both call the reception and find out the truth of the situation. There are literally no other vacant rooms left in the hotel and the two have to stay in the same room. Because it is past 3:00 at night and Leyla has a flight at 7.
**Leyla:** (Sighing) "Well, apparently we have no choice. Because I have a flight at 8.30 in the morning and I can't be bothered looking for another hotel at this hour. Let's handle this situation in the best way."
**Oğuzhan:** (Kindly) "Of course. Because I will be returning to Istanbul early in the morning and I am very tired. I will respect your space, don't worry."
At first, they are uncomfortable with each other, especially Leyla, who has difficulty adapting to this situation due to her commitment to her work and order. Oğuzhan, on the other hand, responds to this situation in a more humorous way and tries to reassure Leyla. Leyla puts her wine glass on the table between the wing chairs and goes to the bathroom to unpack her suitcase and put on something comfortable. Even though Oğuzhan makes a joke about it, he feels very strange and thinks 'how could such a thing happen?' It feels a little strange to relax in this room for a few hours with someone you don't know. Leyla also has the same feelings. But they both needed to sleep because they both had very important meetings the next day. After Leyla comes out of the bathroom, Oğuzhan goes to the bathroom to take off his stage costume. A few minutes later, Oğuzhan comes out of the bathroom and sees Leyla lying on the bed. But wait, there is no other bed and there are only two armchairs in the room as armchairs. Oğuzhan said in a light tone:
"Did you sleep? Where will I sleep?"
**Leyla:** "You can sleep on the other side of the bed, I don't eat people."
**Oğuzhan:** (Grinning slightly) "What if I'm eating it?"
**Leyla:** (Without turning around) "Aren't you a very famous popstar? I'm also a well-known business person. I'm sure you can't do anything to me here." He says and chuckles.
Oğuzhan laughs and lies on the other side of the bed and starts asking questions about Leyla that are bothering him.
**Oğuzhan:** "I was curious about the subject you spoke about at this congress. What is it about?"
**Leyla:** (Serious and professional) "On artificial intelligence and its future applications."
**Oğuzhan:** "What kind of projects are you working on in your company? How do you progress in the technology world?"
**Leyla:** "We work on artificial intelligence and automation. We focus on improving human-robot interaction. What are you doing in the world of music?"
**Oğuzhan:** "The stage is a really special place for me. Being able to reach people with my music and giving them happiness even for a moment is meaningful to me."
As Leyla and Oğuzhan share their worlds, passions and dreams, they begin to form a bond between them. While lying in bed, this unexpected closeness gives them the opportunity to get to know each other better.
**Leyla:** (Thoughtfully) "Sometimes, no matter how busy we are at work, there are actually things outside of work that are really important."
**Oğuzhan:** "Yes, our work shapes us, but the things that determine who we are are different things."
The conversations between Leyla and Oğuzhan deepen and an emotional bond forms. As they both share the things that are important in their lives, they discover the meaning of their time together.
As the night progresses, Leyla and Oğuzhan quietly enjoy each other's presence for a while. Before slowly falling asleep, they both close their eyes with a slight smile on their faces, under the influence of this intimate conversation between them.
Leyla is impressed by Oğuzhan's sincerity and naturalness; Oğuzhan is fascinated by Leyla's intelligence and independence. But they both fall asleep with the thought that they will never meet again.
While Leyla and Oğuzhan lie in the same bed, the night passes silently. Over time, Leyla falls asleep and begins to breathe quietly. Oğuzhan is still awake, his eyes look at the ceiling. There is a slight silence in the room, only Leyla's regular breathing can be heard.
While Leyla sleeps quietly, Oğuzhan looks at her under the dim lights of the room. Leyla's hair is slowly spread on the bed and she smells faintly of jasmine. Oğuzhan, under the influence of the emotional attraction within him, approaches silently and gently smells Leyla's hair. The scent of jasmine fascinates Oğuzhan and draws him towards her.
**Oğuzhan:** (Thinking to himself) "The scent of jasmine is truly fascinating."
After Oğuzhan smells Leyla's hair, he leans towards her and gently pulls her towards him. Leyla does not wake up and continues to sleep comfortably in Oğuzhan's arms.
Oğuzhan feels that Leyla is sleeping and finds peace inside. The warmth and peace that comes with being around him creates positive emotions in Oğuzhan's inner world.
**Oğuzhan:** (Whispers to Leyla) "You make me feel weird.."
Oğuzhan acts quietly so as not to disturb Leyla's sleep. With the emotional satisfaction of being with him, the conflict within you gives way to peace.
