Days later, in the heart of the city, the crisp autumn air brought a sense of anticipation. Sunlight filtered through the lush green leaves of the trees surrounding the quaint outdoor café, casting dappled shadows on the wrought-iron table where Huma sat. Her fingers tapped impatiently against the delicate porcelain cup, her red nails clicking rhythmically as she scanned the bustling Istanbul street for any sign of her guest.

Soon, a statuesque young woman approached the table, Huma's face lit up. Polen glided to the table with an effortless grace.

"Polen, darling! It's so good to see you." She cooed as they kissed on the cheeks. "I'm so glad you made it to Istanbul."
Dressed in a red jumpsuit that accentuated her slender figure, Polen's straightened brunette hair, was scooped to one side, cascading past her shoulder and framing her striking features. Huma could not help but admire her beauty.
"Huma hanim, likewise." Polen smiled, sliding into the empty chair across from Huma. "I'm thankful for this chance to finally see you again. You've not changed one bit since I saw you last. You look stunning, as always."
"And you, my dear, are a sight for sore eyes." Huma replied with adoration.
"Thank you." Polen's eyes crinkled into a smile. "How have you been?"
"Oh, you know me? I've been ok."
Polen paused briefly before asking nervously, "And er... Can? How is he?"
Huma sighed heavily and shrugged her shoulders. "Can is Can," she said softly before adding with a wry smile, "He's not happy that I came back."
"I'm sure he's very happy to see you. He tends to hide his feelings." Polen squeezed her hand reassuringly.
"You know him so well," Huma beamed gratefully. "How stubborn he can be!"
"And sensitive. He's actually very thin-skinned - that's why he reacts to you like that."
Huma nodded with understanding, thankful for both the support and the insight. "I wish he were less sensitive. And that... that he had someone like you in his life. Someone who understands and supports him."
