Me:В Yes?
Emre: Could you take a selfie now, please? If you don’t mind…
To take a selfie or not to take a selfie? In fact, I don’t do it just for everyone. I don’t know why, but Emre seemed quite decent to me. So, I did.
Me: Here itВ is!
Emre: Wow! You’re beautiful! Why haven’t you sent it before?
Me: Because I’m shy. That’s it.
Emre: So am I. I’m shy too.
Me: Wow! We’re in the same boat!
Emre: Or inВ the same sketch.
Me: Yup. Or aВ chart. Haha.
Emre: Anyway, what’s the meaning of your life? You study, for example. But for what?
Me: For languages.
Emre: And? What’ll you do with them?
Me: I’ll become a translator. Or an interpreter.
Emre:В And?
Me: That’s it.
Emre: And? Come on! You’re too young! And you just wanna be an interpreter! Omg. You’re amazing!
Me: And IВ want toВ find aВ good husband. Not an idiot, but aВ Normal, GoodВ one.
Emre: I want to found a good company. Do you wanna be my partner? I’m thinking about setting up an international company.
Me: Why not? Maybe.
Emre: But I’m talking about 5 or 6 years later. Perhaps, 7.
Me: Oke. What’s the point of hurrying up?
Emre: We should talk about money. Anyway I’m talking a lot. Haha.
Me: Lol. The only thing I don’t know is that I don’t know everything.
Emre: What’s this?
Me: Just aВ poem.
Emre: IВ know this poem. IВ wonder why you usedВ it.
Me: IВ like referring toВ poems and all that jazz. Because it makes our conversation more interesting.
Emre: Okay. IВ have an exam tomorrow. Slatkikh snov!
Me: Good night!
Emre: Can you teach me some basic Russian?
Me: Sure!
8В JanuaryВ 2018
Emre: First good morning message.
Me: Oh, hi! How was your exam?
Emre: It was good.
Me: Wow! That’s great! And what’re you doing after a hard, difficult exam?
Emre: Getting ready for another one! I’ve got two exams tomorrow.
Me: Omg! What exams?
Emre: Hmm… One of them is about the engine, and the other one is about thermodynamics.
Me: Maxwell? Something like this?
Emre: The engine one’s about the engine – for example, differential, flywheel, and so on.
Me: IВ see. Complicated.
Emre: Lol. It’s not that complicated, I’m just too lazy to study!
Me: IВ remember something from high school.
Emre: I see. As for me, it’s for entire life that I’ve been studying it! By the way, do you know any traditional story?
Me: About what?
Emre: About love, perhaps. Haha.
Me: Any traditional story?
Emre: Or something supernatural.
Me: Oke, any story. There’s a rhyme:
There was little girl,
And she had aВ little curl,
Right inВ the middle ofВ her forehead.
When she was good,
She was cute.
But when she wasВ bad,
She was horrid.
It’s an old English rhyme.
Emre: Hmmm… I didn’t expect it.
Me: IВ like this rhyme. So, what about you? Do you like the rhyme?
Emre: Just a few. But I don’t have enough information about them.
Me: Old English rhymes were traditionally born inВ the old 14
century. So, it’s a tradition to sing them on holidays. Like Soul Cakes Day, All Saints’ Day. Or Guy Fawkes Day.
Emre: But those aren’t your culture’s. Right?
Me: Right. IВ also know many Russian rhymes.
Emre: Haha. Well…
Me: Oh, maybe, tongue-twisters. Haha.
Emre: What’s the meaning of these days? Why do you like them?
Me: They commemorate the dead. IВ just like them. Because the people chant such amazing rhymes and songs!
Emre: Wow! Do you wanna marry aВ foreigner?
I wonder how he guessed it…
Me: Yes, and aВ lot!
Emre: Why do you want it? Tbh, IВ also want toВ marry aВ foreigner!
Me: Because I need some change in my life. That’s it.
Emre: But IВ have aВ specific choice. So, when will you marry?
Me: When God gives me such aВ chance.
I’m not a Muslim, although I’ve got a name close to the religion. My mum’s an Orthodox, so am I.
Emre: This is a good answer. First of all, you must love someone. Right. But, as I told you before, I don’t think I’ll be able to love again.
