Ayaz  (Hamze) POV
I don’t have any bad intentions for her, getting to know her is not a bad thing. I know it sounds crazy but I don’t have any idea why am I also into her.
           We were walking parallel, but for her, I am still a stranger and in order not to scare her or for her not to feel uncomfortable, I have to give her personal space. Maybe a cup of tea will make this awkward feeling of her towards my change. 
           There are things I wanted to tell her now but still, I have to keep my mouth zip, respect her and trust her. we both know that we are total strangers disregard the fact that I gave her back her medicine at her place; but there is something about her that keeps me being drowned to her, she’s like a vice that once you get the taste of it you’ll lose your mind, you’ll lose the normal side of you but still you love the outcome, you enjoy the feeling. She may not feel the same feelings but all I care about is to get to know her and not let this day pass that I won’t be able to make her feel special. I just don’t know where to start, this thing keeps running in my mind when I notice that my shoelace of Nurin was untied.
           I run to her, I know she will be shocked but as a gentleman, I needed to help even though she didn’t ask for it. With no words and permission, I stood her way while she is busy taking a few shots of the woman and her daughter; I bent my knees and tied her shoelace while I see she is moving her feet backward. She said, “What are you doing? I can do it myself.” I move forward while I’m still on my knees and said, “Let me, there are too many guys here. Look at your back, see? So it’s not a good idea that you’ll bend there. So, let me do it,” I made her shut up nicely.
           I stood up as soon as I get down; she seems to be a little awkward and I am sorry for that. I smiled at her and she smirk at me, she asked me, “So, where is this boutique nearby”, I move my head closer to her to lean forward she leaned her head backward, and I smirk too then walk straight ahead. I know this deserves a cup of tea and I’ll do everything I can to deserve that tea date.
           She was following me irritably and I could hear her whispering, “Hey, Hamze I need to be somewhere else I think we should hurry up.”, “Well, just have to walk across that street. Follow me.”  I walked trying to ignore her; I am doing it so that she won’t have any idea that I am too nervous. Every time I turn my head back to check on her if she is still at my back, she just nods her head and turns her head right-left acting like she’s looking at something. 
           Out of nowhere she just walks near me, aligning. She was murmuring and I could not understand her, so I had to butt in, “Are you saying something?” she smiled at me and said, “I am really in a hurry, how long do we have to walk. I mean, this isn’t a big deal for me. I can just head up to my place and besides, that’s where I am heading after my breakfast in these areas.”, “it’s just an 8-minute walk from here.”  She nodded to agree as a sign of agreeing.
           No voice comes out of her mouth, and no words are painted on her lips but the silence between us is like a red thread that connects us. I wanted to set a good image for her while not making her feel uncomfortable. Now, I am the one who is murmuring, I wanted to start a conversation but I don’t know how and where to start. She then spills words, “Is there anything you want to say? I bet you have.” I smiled and said, “It’s not that bad that we talk while we are walking.”Yes, I know. 8 minutes of walking while having 8 minutes of words isn’t bad. I just don’t know what to talk about.”
           For me, this is the right time to establish trust. “Your face; your feature looks Asian. But I am not sure what nationality.” , “I am a Malaysian.”, “Okay, so how long are you going to stay here?”, “I book for 1 month in my hotel. I wanted to explore Turkey. The whole turkey. I wanted to find a specific place here in Turkey where I can engrave my name on it. So, even if I can’t come back here to Turkey, my heart will still stay here.” 
           I paused there for a second. I wanted her to be vocal to me; I know what was going on with her. I am Physician, so I know those medicines are for but for some reason, most loners keep it a secret so that they can’t cause any problem to the people they meet.
           “That’s why you have a camera with you? To capture everything beautiful in this country?” she smiled and said, “Everything that is beautiful in this country? You must be kidding me. Turkey is the definition of beautiful.”
           We laugh and continue our conversations until we reach our destination. The White House Laleli is not an International brand but the quality of clothing they have here is excellent.
