Serkan, recently divorced, has fought to overcome a tragedy. Feeling responsible for the death of his son and the end of his marriage, he's suffocated himself with work. What has kept him afloat is his best friend's unending support and an unlikely...
The little girl covered her mouth to keep from laughing as she approached Melo, who immediately straightened up. Taking the child by her hand, she rushed out of the room, not without first blowing me a kiss and winking, whispering, "We'll chat at home."

I was drinking tea with Melo and Ceren that evening when I received the notification:

Then another one on Twitter.
My face must have transfigured because Ceren freaked and hastened to me, taking my cell phone from my hand. A wave of relief bathed her immediately.
"For a moment there, I thought Cenç had proposed to you via text message," her myrrh at my misery made me stick my tongue out at her.
"What's up?" Melo asked, momentarily distracted with her manicure.
"Only the hottest man in all of Türkiye is asking to follow our Edacim. If she didn't want to slap him silly, I'd advise her to—" one look from me silenced her immediately. – Nothing. I'd say nothing," she added, laughing.
Ceren loved this. If I knew her as I did, she'd take advantage of this, get close to Serkan, to fit in with his crowd... she was probably already planning to ask him out. That was Ceren for you, one of my closest friends: rich, gorgeous, and friendly. Serkan was the kind of man that she adored.
I suddenly didn't like the idea of her going out with him that much.
Melo rolled her eyes at Ceren, "We hate him, remember, Cer?"
"WE don't hate anyone. We are just angry at Serkan Bolat for his stupid decision to cancel Eda's scholarship. Nothing he couldn't make up for with a good apology and some groveling - Ceren's suggestive tone drove me to throw a pillow at his face.
She was provoking me, yet her teasing made me realize how I was making this more significant than it actually was. So, I accepted Serkan's follow request and went ahead and followed him back.
