Smiling, he said, “Isn’t it nice to cool off here?” After talking for a while, Mehmet Ali handed me a small gift package. I was surprised because I hadn’t expected something like this.
“What is this?” I asked.
“When I saw it, I thought of you and wanted to buy it,” Mehmet Ali said. I opened the package and found a small bracelet inside. “Thank you very much,” I said smiling. This gesture made me really happy.
Afterwards, Mehmet Ali asked, “How about going to the beach after we finish our work today? We can rest a little and take a walk by the sea.”
This offer appealed to me. “That would be great!” I replied.
We finished the rest of our work for the day and went to the beach in the evening. While walking by the sea, the sound of the waves and the cool air felt good to both of us. At that moment, we realized that we were not only colleagues, but also good friends.
