Episode 3

Yasemin sat down to wait for her turn at the interview, thank God her little sister is well-behaved and stayed where she sat her.

Bahar went to the office to bring Mehmet tea to relax him when she saw the little girl, she went straight to the office and when she came out she approached them.

Bahar: Are you here for the interview?

Yasemin: Yes.

Bahar: And who is she?

Yasemin: She's my little sister, I have no one to leave her with, don't worry, she's not disobedient, she won't move from here.

Bahar: Would you allow me to take her to the kitchen to eat and drink something while you are being interviewed, it may take more than 20 minutes and it is unfair to her.

Yasemin: Are you sure? I don't want to bother you.

Bahar: Don't worry girl, this house has a lot of security and nothing bad is going to happen.

Just when they finished talking, Kadir arrived to tell her that she was next.

Yasemin: Okay, the only thing I can tell you is that she's very talkative.

She is 4 years old, but she talks non-stop.

Bahar: The kitchen can be quiet, talking to someone, even if they are small, always does good.

Kadir watched the interaction and looked at Bahar who looked at him with a face that said, I don't want you to say anything, and he continued guiding Yasemin to the office, when he entered he looked at the imposing man sitting behind the desk.

In the kitchen…

Bahar: Tell me little one, what's your name?

Asya: My name is Asya Kurt, and yours madam?

Bahar: My name is Bahar.

When they arrived at the kitchen, Asya saw that there was another girl sitting on the kitchen counter and approached her very happily.

Asya: Helloooo, my name is Asya, and you?

But she received no answers.

So she looked at Bahar and said.

Can't she speak?

Bahar: Yes, she can, but she doesn't want to.

Asya: Why?

Bahar: Something bad happened and she hasn't done it since.

Asya: But can she hear?

Bahar: Yes, she can hear.

Asya: Good, And can you tell me her name, please.

Bahar: Her name is Ayse.

Asya approached her.

Our names are similar, if you want we can play here.

Ayse turned and looked at Asya.

Asya: Look, we can play without talking, how about we play tic-tac-toe.

Excuse me, Mrs. Bahar, do you have paper and a pencil?

Bahar: Of course, I'll bring it to you right away.

After bringing the papers and several pencils, she watched as the girls played after Asya explained what it was about, so they played and when Ayse lost she made funny faces and for the first time in a year Ayse smiled, which caused Bahar to smile and a tear ran down her cheek because she was really happy.

A simple game of "O" AND "X" with a girl who integrated her regardless of whether she spoke or not spoke very well of who raised her.

Asya: If you get bored you can give me a signal and we will play other things.

Ayse nodded enthusiastically at Asya's request.

While Yasemin entered the office for her job interview.

Yasemin: Good afternoon.

Mehmet: Good afternoon miss, please take a seat, my name is Mehmet Uzun.

And tell me, what agency do you come from or if you don't come from any.

Yasemin: My name is Yasemin Kurt and the truth is that I don't come from any agency and I don't have experience as a nanny for other children.

Mehmet: Excuse me, but did you say "other children"?

Yasemin: Yes, you see, I take care of my little sister and I have experience with her and if I am honest I wouldn't know why I am here, when you said you wanted a nanny from an agency, but I lost my job and I have to support her.

Mehmet: And your parents? Because here in your resume it says that you are 23 years old and you are a student of administration.

Yasemin: My father died 3 years ago and my mother as a result of that got lost in alcohol and drugs which forced me to leave home for the sake of my sister and my mental health.

Mehmet: How old is your sister?

Yasemin: She is 4 years old, sir.

Mehmet: Well, you know that I was looking for someone who was from an agency because I like to control who is close to my daughter, I really regret that you came all the way here for nothing.

Yasemin: Don't worry sir, I knew it was the most logical thing since you were looking for a nanny from an agency and I am not, but thank you for the interview.

She got up, left the office and wondered.

Yasemin: Where the hell is the kitchen?

She saw a lady coming down the stairs.

Excuse me, can you tell me where the kitchen is, I came for a job interview with my sister and the lady in the kitchen told me that she could take care of her while I talked to the man.

Esma: Come with me please.

She followed the lady and when she arrived at the kitchen she saw her sister interacting with another girl and saw how the lady who guided her there looked at the scene with surprise.

Yasemin approached cautiously.

Yasemin: We have to go now, it's getting late and we have to walk to where we can take the bus.

My love, say goodbye to the ladies and the girl, please.

Asya was getting off the chair when Ayse took her hand.

Asya: Do you want me to stay to keep playing?

Ayse nodded.

Yasemin: I'm sorry beautiful, but we live very far from here and we still have to walk to take a bus, if we take any longer it is possible that we will not be able to find a way to get home.

Ayse in sign language said "Please"

Yasemin understood that she did not speak, but she could hear.

Bahar saw that Yasemin hesitated.

Bahar: Look, if you give permission to play for another hour, I'll tell the driver to take you to your house, okay?

Yasemin: But that is a bother.

Bahar: Believe me it's not, let the little ones play please.

Yasemin: Okay, but one hour, okay?

Asya: Yessss

Sister, play with us please.

Yasemin: Okay, but I don't want to leave the kitchen.

Ayse nodded.

Yasemin: Okay, let's play in the kitchen, would you like that?

Mrs. Bahar, we are all going to play.

Yasemin saw that there were chef hats on the wall and put one on each girl.

Ayse, are you allergic to anything?

The girl shook her head.

Okay then, would you like to make chocolate chip cookies?

And a smile appeared on the girl's lips, Asya took her hand and together they looked for the ingredients.

Bahar: The kitchen is yours so don't ask permission for anything Yasemin.

Yasemin: We are all going to play.

So, between flour, egg and milk they had a lot of fun.

Asya took some flour and threw a little at Ayse.

Yasemin was going to scold Asya, but Ayse did the same and the laughter of both girls filled the kitchen with emotion, Yasemin did not know it, but Bahar and Esma were almost on the verge of tears.

On the other hand, Mehmet got up from the chair in his office.

Mehmet: Kadir, if I don't get a nanny, I'm going to take Ayse with me on that trip, you know that as a result of what happened to my wife, I don't want to leave her alone and even though Bahar is here, you know that she can't do it all alone.

Kadir: We're going to make it work, Ayse needs you and you handle it very well, you're a good father my friend.

Mehmet: So good a father that I can't get my daughter to speak again.

Kadir: Give her time, that was very traumatic for her.

We better go, she must be in the kitchen with Bahar.

Mehmet: Let's go.

Both men left the office and walked to the kitchen and as they approached they could hear girls laughing and walked much faster to see what it was about.
