Aşkım


Sallarina found her sultan, hidden in the dark alley of Utku sokak. White as a ghost he had been running for miles trying to escape the demands of hundreds of harem hooligans. As Sallarina stepped out from a shadow hidden behind the disguise of the White Witch from Wangaratta, she whispered closely into the sultan's ear "come my pretty, i will protect you with my evil eye". Behind the closed doors of the Safronbolu stables she unleashed her true self. Despite premature ageing and post-teen pimples, she was the most lovely women he had seen that day. So, he thought to himself "desperate times call for desperate measures" and he whisked her away to the valley of sweet coffee and hazelnut cigarettes. They built a home made of roasted chestnuts and furnished it with ikea candy. They lived happily ever after knowing that one day the harem would soon become a refuge for soulless sultans who lost their way after not listening to the white witch hiding in the sokak of Safronbolu.
Happy Valentines Day canım benim, seni çok seviyorum.
