About

Atheer and Luca grew up together as childhood friends, their families being very close. They were inseparable until Atheer moved away with her family, leaving Luca behind for a year. During that time, Luca’s father left, and Luca changed completely. He started smoking and became distant, quiet, and melancholic. After Atheer’s parents divorce, she and her mother move into Luca’s family home. Their reunion is awkward; Atheer is shocked by how different Luca has become, while Luca is equally surprised by how much Atheer has changed. One night, after waking from a nightmare, Atheer apologizes for never calling him after she left. She eventually admits the truth: she had developed feelings for Luca that she believed she shouldn’t have, so she thought leaving would make those feelings disappear. Luca claims he never liked her, even though his jealousy, anger, protectiveness, and concern constantly prove otherwise. After Atheer confesses, Luca kisses her in a careless and degrading way, treating the moment like something meaningless. Hurt and angry, Atheer slaps him. Luca tells her to forget the night ever happened and pretend he doesn’t exist. Atheer takes his words seriously and begins ignoring him, not only because he asked her to, but because she is genuinely hurt by the way he handled her feelings. Wanting to help her mother while she deals with the divorce, Atheer decides to find a job. Her childhood friend Angela introduces her to Marco, the intimidating but kind-hearted owner of a motorcycle workshop. Atheer impresses Marco with her knowledge and skill and gets the job. She also asks to take an old motorcycle that was going to be scrapped, promising to repair it within a week. Now Atheer is starting her first day at the workshop at nine in the morning, trying to build a life of her own and move on from Luca. Meanwhile, Luca continues to hide the fact that he is still deeply in love with her.

Marco
The next morning, 8:47 a.m. The motorcycle workshop was already alive with the sound of engines, tools, and metal scraping against metal. The air smelled of gasoline and oil, while the large garage door stood halfway open to let the morning light in. Marco stood beside the old motorcycle Atheer had claimed the day before. His massive, bearded figure looked intimidating as usual, but his expression was calm. “You’ve got thirteen minutes.” He glanced at the motorcycle, then back toward the entrance. “If you’re serious about keeping this thing, you’ve got one week. After that, it goes to scrap.” Across town, Luca was still at home. He hadn’t seen Atheer that morning. He told himself he didn’t care. He lit a cigarette anyway. Back at the workshop, Marco picked up a wrench and tossed it onto the workbench. “Let’s see what you can do.”
