What a pity. Me and Balkiz cross the Bosphorus bridge without star and taillight..

In spite of everything, it is still great.

I promise you Balkiz, next time, we will cross together with Kezban.

Kezban will also love this. Right, Kezban?

-I challenge you to run.

-I am in.

-Does it hurt?

-I fell on my arm.

Well, our love story begins like this with Kezban , Balkiz.

you lummox! Do you sleep there?

Whew! How I space out.

Kezban just blindfolded me.

-Kezban. Why are you here? Others will realize me. Go away! Dont spoil my plan.

-I am going to city-centre to look for job. go away!

I was leaving my village

I didnt tell any word to my uncle before leaving.

Dear voyagers, smoking, sleeping and taking off shoes are prohibited in closed areas of ferryboat.

We request you to obey the rules.

Thanks..

-Have a nice day, good morning dear voyagers!

Today, I am at the presence of you with a new product from slant-eyed peoples hometown.

Look here please. the interesting points of this gadget,

First, it can satisfy your musical taste with radio option.

If you dont want to disturb others, you can use its original earphones.

In extra, when you need smoking, you dont need to look for lighter.

It has an authentic lighter.

Dear Sirs, everybody know that Istanbul is a crowded city.

Usually we face with power outage.

If you keep this tool in your pocket, you can use its hand lamp option.

Two small size battery are enough for it.

and also in extra, I offer you an authentic whistle,

and also an extra compass. You can define you North, South, East and West easily.

Balkiz! Balkiz is not there.

-Here was a honey-colored Mercedes.

-So? Isnt there now?

-No, there isnt. How comes?

-Are you sure that you park here?

-OMG! Dont drive me crazy. Ofcourse I park here.

-Maybe you mixed up wiith ferries. Did you never go out of ferry in port?

- No, never. I was just upper saloon.

- I dont know then.

-Brother, wait a second. What will I do now?

-You better look at the other side of ferry. Maybe you mix the sides.

If it is stolen? If it is gone by board? I commit suicide if so.

Ohh! You scared me Balkiz.

-Lets play spitting game. Who will be able to shoot this Mercedes?

-which one?

-Honey-colored one.

-Okay, the winner will get a family-size Coca-cola?

-Why is there necessary to go to Germany, Bayram? We can work here together.

-Every sheep is hanged from its own leg.

(Everyone is responsible for his own actions.)

-And, I am already registered to this job. What can I do? Life is hard.

You will walk and never look behind...

-You become so cheesy, Bayram!

You fool Bayram. You hurt Balkiz because of Kezban.

Due to absence of mind, you spoil everything.

-You must see Ahmet's new apartment. It s so large and luxurious.

Fully vinly floor covered. Double bathroom covered with marble.

-There is also seasight.

-Who knows how expensive it is! he should pay thousands of dollars.

-Everyone can get the money in a way, so they dont care about its price.

How much is an apartment like they mention? more expensive than Balkiz?

No way.. If I want to change Balkiz to an apartment, anyone would accept that.

But I dont want. I am not satisfied yet..

-Excuse me, Your blouse is so beautiful. Where did you buy?

-Store in Kadikoy.

-I have seen another dress with this fabric,

but this style is much better

-Thank you

OMG! How can I resist now? what a nice woman.

She doesnt look like neither Kezban or Solmaz.

I couldnt even touch Kezban.

You cant do anything before marriage.

But this woman is extremely hot.

Should I come closer now?

Certainly she is from Istanbul.

Ohh, look that beauty!

If she had known that the Mercedes,seen below, is mine,

she would like to sleep with me immediately.

Then I will bang her promptly.

Yes Bayram, right now!

Uhh. Just missed it.

Taking the lighter, I should say '' Excuse me madam. Can I light your cigarette?''

If I say something, will she rebuff?

No way. I am a Mercedes owner,

she cant refuse me.

I dont want to disturb you, but can we talk some?

Excuse me, I tried to light your smoke but I was a bit late.

My mind is always with my Mercedes.

I was looking at it if there is any problem.

-Who cares?

-Do you have a car?

-Eww. I wanna stand alone.

-What happens if we just chat. I am driving lonely from Germany.

-From Germany?

-Yes. From Munchen. I have been there for 3 years. I am Bayram, and yours?

-What is your profession there?

-I am working in BMW, assembly line. Just few people are selected for this job. yours?

-I am manicurist.

-Which one is your Mercedes?

-Seen below, honey-colored.

-I would buy brand new one but next year I will hopefully.

What was your name?

-Ayfer is my name.

-No need to thank, Ms. Ayfer. I will already pass over Bursa.

-My car is like a large saloon. And lonely driving is also boring.

-And it is a pleasure for me to travel with such a beautiful lady.

-you will agree with me that it is so comfortable.

I can also take you to your house.

-Come in Ms. Ayfer. Destiny intersect us.

-Waiter, bring us 2 cups of tea. I have a guest.

-You attract me alot, Ms. Ayfer.

-What are you doing? Take your hands away.

-Dont worry. Anyone doesnt see us.

-Hey, you hurt me! go away. dont touch me.

You stinkpot!

-Dumbass!

-You animal! Pimp! Son of b*tch!

First learn how to behave a woman before inviting to your car.

-Give my luggages right now.

-Hey woman! you messed it up!

You destroyed my Mercedes's door.

-Who cares with your car door, dumbass!

Give me luggage right now, or I will call police.

-You animal!

-You are animal, woman!

If you werent, you had known how to open a Mercedes's door.

-I know how to shut your mouth up! Give my luggages!

-Please stop arguing lady! Eeew! You Germanist, are you fascist?

-Give the luggages back now, give!

- Take them away! What is my business with them?

-Come, brother. Come this way, drive, drive.

-Keep going, brother. Keep going like this.

Thats okay. Drive like this.

-No problem, brother. You just gas!

In order to afford Balkiz, I have postponed all my desires.

Work! Work! Work! Dont spend any penny, just save.

Dont spend even for women.

So, whenever I see a pair of nice breasts, I control myself.

Anyway Balkiz. We arrive home, soon.

Just about to complete the race.

Well Kezban. There is a saying '' Road ends up, but love never.''

Coming, coming! Bayram is coming!

-Congratulations Bayram.

-Viva Bayram! Good job!

-What a proud to see a Mercedes owner in my village!

-Bayram is our pride!

-You beat all of us,cousin.

-I am proud to raise you up,my nephew!

Come to Germany and learn how to cover with asphalt!

You f***ed up my car.

-There is an increase of domestic cars. It would be better if I bought Balkiz earlier.

But it was impossible.

If I hadnt come across with Ibrahim, I wouldnt even have gone to Germany.

-Bayram.

-Hey, Ibrahim. What do you do here?

-What a chance! I would never expect to meet you in Ankara.
