Yesterday I saw Messi and he made us a thumbs up, but HEY today a much more amazing thing happened!
I first came to Barcelona back in April 2009, it was the spring break of my uni, so me, Nur, mum, her mum, and her sister gathered and rented a flat in Tetuan. Anyways when going back home to Turkey, we were going to catch the airport train and waiting in the station, eating something; we offered it to the girl sitting next to us. She said: Teşekkürler, in Turkish. I asked her how come she understood we were Turks, she said she is Syrian from Aleppo. That day was a sad day for me so meeting this girl cheered me up; I showed her the book i was reading, Aşk from Elif Şafak and the bookmark was “Aşk” in Arabic “عشق” and made her listen to Assalah Nasri and so on. Suddenly her train came and she had to leave. I could not ask her name, nor her e-mail.
BUT, today 16th of October 2013, we MET in Rosa Negra restaurant. Her name is Rana and she is a friend of a friend! When she arrived I thought she looked familiar and when she said she was Syrian I was almost sure she was the girl I met by chance in 2009! And she is, and she remembered me too! :D
