Turkish narrator : hello guys, so where were we. as long as i remember our heroin was going to meet her friends, so i will let her continue then but in-between i am gonna remind you of how foolish can she be sometimes, ok now let's get going

Maya

 I reached café from uncle office in 20 mins, am the one coming early for every meeting, 2 more minutes I'm leaving now let me remind everyone that m waiting. i took my phone from the sling bag before i type something stupid there comes Priya, she is not to tall ,fair skin and she has 2 sons still she is my friend m happy and i share everything which i can't share with everyone in the group, i waved my hand she saw me and said she is going to park her car ok let me wait 2 more minute's to share what happened with Kamal uncle today, she neared me and we found place in the corner until that 3 comes i should get my suggestion from her, 

"hello how was office"  she kept her bag in front of me and sat, she observed me for 2 minutes m talking she didn't seem hearing me so i waved my hand in front of her, "o hello where are you Im talk to you" then she singed heavily and started laughing,

"What are you laughing at". 

"you're asking me on what am i laughing, what happened to your face" than i palmed my face and saw her and raised my brows, 

then she said "not on the face its in the face" what does she mean ohh i forgot she can read my face it's obvious that m not happy with Kamal uncle reply to my new book, "hmm nothing you tell me", 

"ohh spill it Maya tell me know" then filled her with everything.

"Tel me now how can i be calm, Priya please you will convince everyone that am not going to celebrate my birthday, because last year on the same date i came back from Alaska and launched my new book, but see this year there's nothing to celebrate even my brother made me meet 2 more publishers, but till now no reply, and i think nobody is interested in "Mother Daughter" story it seems to me so?"

"stop it Maya you will find, and we are celebrating your birthday because your 31 officially by next 2 days so take it easy on you. may be after your birthday you might find some publisher, and what did they explain in your advisory committee". 

"they want something strong in the end, but it is not an love story so there's nothing to change and i made it clear to them, now please am not in the mood this year please convince everyone that's the reason i called you". (Turkish n : I think Maya is right she doesn't deserve birthday party, being 31 no boyfriend till now  what kind human is she well i think i should concentrate on her friends now )

Then i see Sara, Charan and Samar uncle coming our way, "hello everyone charan says" and pulls my cheek he does that so much, and he handed us his marriage invitation ohh yes i remember he is getting married next month. 

Sara "how's new job going" she just smiles she is too cute, little fat, too naïve though, she works in food research center, ahh Samar uncle is 62 year young and he is on house arrest now because of his diabetic's his son won't let him out, so now i requested and promised to pic and get him home then he agreed to send uncle.

"So Maya di what are the plans for birthday this year" i saw Priya and she raised her eyes on me, "hmm Sara why don't we discuss this on call today before sleeping" her expression was unexplainable (tn: well you can't explain anything heroin let me me say this, Sara thins how fool can Maya be. for not discussing it now and she wants to discuss it in the night before sleeping) "Maya then let us celebrate it next year" Charan says and pushed my arm i made face,

"guys please not this year, and Priya will explain you people". everyone's attention on Priya now so i went to order for us and its already lunch time so i did order my favorite alfredo , pesto and croissant sandwich for Sara and less calories salad for uncle.

i was making my way to table i saw someone approaching me, he passed over me to next table to mine, i took my order and placed it in front of them everyone started eating, "Sara see that guy i think i know him", i'm looking at her and her dreamy eyes "isn't he handsome Maya di, but i don't think he will not fit in your list" i soon as i heard that word i turned my face to this little b Sara, "repeat it Sara, again i didn't hear you" she smiled a little weirdo is she smiling on everything and started eating,

" what is going on everybody thinks am not worth of any guy, hell with everyone but Sara i never thought you would be also thinking the same for me m offended now".

"its ok di, not a big deal you will get a guy but not handsome as him", 

"again no, Sara please", everybody started laughing and they were making some signals with there eyes i won't interrupt them so i stood up, "so let's go then, i have so many things to do", we left from there i took Samar uncle with me and left to his house promising of meeting him after my next book tour, i made my way to shop as soon as i parked my vehicle my phone started ringing it was my brother, " hutch what happened, did Nene passed away, ohh no am coming now"

"Shut up Maya, i have some good news for you so come home and look yourself am on some work so bye for now", hmm let me see what news do i have then i went home immediately and see what i have. Nene waiting for me in the living room oh not again I'm not ready for hearing her lecturing me, to get married or have a boyfriend so i was making my way to my room but its too late Nene called. (grandmother in turkish), my Nene ran away from turkey any of us don't know the reason whenever we ask she says when the time comes i will explain.

"Nene please not again, i understood what you wanted to say and am very sorry for shouting on you, and i won't repeat it again", i know i should get married have children everything so sorry Nene". i sat beside Nene and saw her face she had tears in her eyes i know I'm the reason, and she embarrassed me in her arms, 

"its ok Maya your my child, but don't do this with others my dear" saying that she went, i went in the room and saw on bed lamp table there was envelope.

the name printed on envelope was "Mahesh ediga", i opened it says i got confirmation on printing my book, my tears rolled on the paper am so overwhelmed,  that can't be explained in words. i wrote this book for my mother. and i turned to go to hutch's room there on my door stood hutch, i went and hugged him, "you did it Maya she will be very proud of you, dad is already happy because Kamal uncle is the one whom found publisher for you, now please drama queen end of drama hmm and your having birthday this year also i messaged priya mam so lets celebrate".

Turkish narrator : So let me see how her birthday goes then. and nene was right though what do people think?
