Expect the unexpected, follow the lovers lost in this blog.

A blog to cater your mind,body,and soul as you drink Turkish Coffee. We are proud to present our new storyline called Cafe's search for his "Zahir". Everyday is a new day for the "Cafe" (from Istanbul) & his journey for "Zahir" (from Baku). Don't expect extraordinary drama from the narrator, me. Still, this is a drama (maybe real!), and have better impact on you than watching a soap opera. Guaranteed. There is genuine feelings within inspirational periods. Cross your fingers for this story to end with happy marriage :-) All rights are reserved.

EDIT (01 July 2009) - She is engaged with another man, and I finally made my marriage proposal bringing my family to Baku. The result: She stays engaged and will have her wedding, so called "toy", with that another man.

Rest in peace Ms. Zahir.

Facebook - Add to friends...No thanks, I will meet her face to face...

How would you describe yourself, solely looking at the other person's face?

Does it sound like a scary feeling to meet someone, just relying on some emails and some phone conversations..

If there is no spark, you would not insist..

But if there is some spark, not the Captain Spark type, but emotional type, like thunderstorms in your heart, and your coat is not enough to keep you dry from the bucket-full rain.

It is a sizzling feeling to think what if...

What if I can see if there is anything in her heart that I would also be able to fulfill..

The basic question was:

What do you want/expect from life?

And, the answer is lost within the mobile phone data transfer center. Maybe, the customer service lady liked this a lot, so she saved this "aloha!" question for herself, and my text message never reached her...

Being engaged, I remember that...It was a fuzzy feeling, especially when it is the decision of one person, not a joint decision...

I have no idea what is going on in this scenario...I am just getting more curious every other day..

If I have a chance, I will take that young or adult American to Turkey, and let them have a happy marriage..

Yes, I am irregular, I know. Maybe, I shall sleep on the boat, and never come back to the shores of love again.

They shall be happy forever...

And, when I make a movie out of my box (so called life), then it will be delicious to add such memories..

Visiting the girl whom I like to speak forever, never wishing the end of the conversation to come...

Indeed, I asked two questions.

1- Are you married?
2- Do you have a boyfriend?
3- ..... (could not speak, after the confidence clash due to the powerful impact of these questions.)

Her answer was yes for the first question. Indeed, that ring on her finger was just an engagement ring.

That's why, Mr. Leo. Please resolve this issue as soon as possible.

If I am the CEO of a company, or I have one of those regular business card, will I be evaluated differently? Entrepreneurs sorry finale is their seeks for perfectionism, I guess. Since we can think for a better idea everyday, the finale product never emerges..

Mr. Leo...wherever you are, this is the time to sing,

"Baby, I have some much love for you..."

Mr. Leo, frankly speaking...

Do you love her?

Or, do you cheat on her as soon as you land in the US?

What the hack is going on?

I like to keep things clear. My ambition is to meet her, and understand her. Maybe after that, we would realize that we don't belong to each other, so Mr. Leo, sorry to bother you and include you in this nonsense conversation.

What if, we do?

What if we do match each other perfectly, and you, Mr. Leo, is such mixing things up.

Don't have any idea about her visit to this blog, and realize about the whole brainstorming behind the scenes..

But, I guess, this is encouraging for the new generation who is more concerned about one-night stands, rather than long-term relations.

Yes, I am a traditional men, and I am happy to be frank with her as soon as I meet her face to face.

However, I still hope that I can hear the last words I would like to hear, which are, Sorry Mr. Cafe, it is impossible!!!

Ocho, number eight.
Uno, number one.

Pick whatever number you want, but you seem to be my priority, at the same time, I am thinking for your happiness with Mr. Leo, if all things are considered..

Was a long day instead. Just continue to seek for our "nasip and/or qismet", meaning our lucky number.

Dear Mr. Leo,

Please be as frank as I am towards her, and tell her your genuine reasons to marry her, and genuine feelings you feed towards her.

Let's keep it real, as we say in America.
Let's keep it genuine, coming way down from deep inside our hearts...

God bless America!...

Leo - Too Complicated

Dear Leo,

Who are you?

Why are you?

Where are you?

Basically...Why?

I wish, I have a chance to speak with her. Not like going out. We can meet at one cafe, and leave out from different doors. We can wear glasses. But, I would like to see her eyes, when we chat.

Tonight's approach may not be right. Plus, there was really big bubbles in my Turkish coffee, before I started to drink it. There is nazar, there is jealousy in the air. I am just not sure, if I will ever have a chance to speak with her.

Just one chance.

Really, just one.

It doesn't mean a date. Stop that!

Just a cafe talk, run or walk, somewhere I can hear her and see her eyes...

As a regular guy with irregular feelings, I feel more complicated, but not as much as she does for her future, if I understand her right.

I hope I would position myself on the right side, like standing by the window, or by the corner, you know, just waiting...But, not waiting foolishly...

That's why...I just want to talk to her, face to face, and check if there is any light.

My friend heard her voice over the phone, and he also thought that the voice was sweet.

What sweet? It is melting my heart. My whole-being...

I did not fall in love with her...Not yet, and cannot. She is engaged. But, day after day, I am getting more curious...

Dear Leo,

Why? and How did you win her heart?

Why she?

Simple questions, unheard answers.

Dear Leo,

I may be able to find you, somewhere over the rainbow...

I don't say I will gettcha!!!

But, who are you to conquer her heart? Just curious really. I wish happiness to both of you.

Just curious, really. I mean it, believe me.

God bless America!

Coincidence Times Coincidence Equals to Zero

Dear Leo,

Never expect to meet you, but just heard about you.

It was not also expected to have her left alone, with such sympathy, and enthusiasm, and best of all, great sense of humor. You are a lucky person to find such a girl.

For Cafe, the journey just started, after the long-awaited finale with Zair.
It would be such a relief to reach to the shores of long-awaited joyful life, after that foolish struggle for Zair.

Dear Leo,

I just don't understand, how you meant to import love from Turkey. We have lots of great stuff in our country, but why don't you leave such beauties like her in our land. Just curious, really! Why?

I finally decided to travel to the other part of the city and meet her, and realized her ring on her finger, and thought it might be one of "those" rings. In fact, it was your ring, Mr. Leo. Congratulations.

From now on, I can only pray for your happiness, as I believe you match each other perfectly. I hope so. But, if not?

It is not my business to answer that question, but if I sort of love her as well. Honestly, I don't know her as much as you do. But, I desire exactly the same level of sense of humor. Yes, that enthusiasm is all I need in this fast-paced life. The sympathy that will come alive after a long rush work days. She is just so colorful, and fun to talk and listen, forever...

Beg my pardon, also, for some emails I wrote, could be easily recognized as a trial to flirt with her. I was just amazed to hear such a voice, then match that voice with her picture on LinkedIn, then slowly gathered my confidence to meet her personally, finally. Beg my pardon, Mr. Leo. The heart doesn't listen to those cliche rules. It keeps beating...

My heart was beating so fast, I just couldn't figure out how to find the way out, but as I promised to myself, I cut the corners, and asked her those two magical questions, I beg your pardon, Mr. Leo.

I could not have any chance to ask the third question, maybe I didn't believe from the beginning...

Maybe, I just didn't know if she would like to go out for a movie, theater, cafe, or a short walk.

I guess, I just need somebody with such enthusiasm, and if she is reading this, hope she is, then I kindly ask her to find somebody for me. Somebody having similar attributes with her. I want to have a memory out of this long traffic day, resembling heavy traffic in my mind and heart about her answer....

Good job, Mr. Leo. You hit two birds with one stone. You hit her heart and mine, at the same time. She is yours, and I am fined.

The coincidences are:

She came back to Turkey at the same I did.

She is the zodiac sign I guessed.

Her fiancee's name is my zodiac sign.

Her fiancee is foreign, just like mine. Well, I didn't get engaged, officially, but I was, with a foreign girl I met in the US. I broke up with her, due to her changed feelings. I don't know, and I don't want dig further if there is any slight chance for Cafe to meet the Sea again.

Now, staying at the island, unsure about what the winter will bring. Cannot meet the Sea again, unless she gives any signal to me.
