So now you’ve come here as a bride from Turkey more than anything.

Yes.

How many years has it been?

I mean, five years engaged.

If you count our whole relationship, it’s one point eight years.

We had come in 2019.

How did you meet?

To my dad’s workplace.

At your dad’s workplace.

He came to my dad’s workplace, we met.

Then he never left.

Are you happy?

I am happy.

Are you happy here?

I am happy here too.

Don’t you miss it?

Of course I miss it, how could I not?

I miss our food, I miss my family.

I miss my friends so much.

I miss the times when we would sit at the table with my cousins and chat like this.

Can you tell that it’s all scraped up?

You can definitely tell.

No, not “definitely.”

Is this your daughter?

Yes.

Girl, you are so sweet.

Her name is Zayna.

Zayna?

Yes.

Do the sick girls like that you went to Turkey?

They are crazy about it.

How did your family allow it?

They did not want to, I won’t lie, but…

Did you run away?

Of course not, dear. God forbid.

Look, so, my husband is my dad’s employee, right.

My dad actually really liked him.

But how could the man know he had his eye on his daughter.

Oh, you’re ruining my arms.

How could the man know that he had his eye on this daughter of his.

For the first time at our workplace, after my dad, someone is praying and reading the Qur'an. And that’s my husband.

For the first time at our workplace, an employee is praying and reading the Qur'an.

Ah, so your dad is impressed by that.

For the first time an employee is fasting.

That is why my dad really liked him.

He said this boy is very blessed.

Since he came, my business has not stopped.

So what are you going to cook now?

I’m going to make pajin.

What is pajin?

Pastajin.
