Guess Who I Bumped Into?
Burak vertelt Tamar over een ontmoeting in het park.

Burak:   Hey, sis. Guess who I bumped into the other day?

Tamar:  Who?

Burak:   Kefira!

Tamar:  Who is Kefira?

Burak:   You know her, she’s Caleb’s sister. Caleb is the one who threw the great garden party last week, remember?

Tamar:  Oh, right! Yeah,  that was fun. Where did you see her?

Burak:   At the park. I was just wandering around a little, thinking out loud that really I should be doing my homework, you know... And I bumped into Kefira. Literally.

Tamar:  Oh no! What happened?

Burak:   No, it was no big deal, really. We apologized at exactly the same time. I said: “Sorry, I was lost in my thoughs” and then she said: “Oh, but I wasn’t paying attention either”, and then we looked at each other and realized that we knew each other.

Tamar:  Oh, that’s OK then. And then what?

Burak:   Well, you know, I said: “Don’t I know you?” and she said: “Yeah, we met at my brother’s party last Saturday” and I said, “Oh, that’s right, you’re Caleb’s sister” and then we both began to laugh.

Tamar:  OK...

Burak:   So then I suggested getting some coffee and she said yes, and we went to the River Park Cafe.

Tamar:  Oooh, big brother has got a girlfriend!

Burak:   Stop it. She’s not my girlfriend, we just had a good time, that’s all. She told me about school and about her friends...

Tamar:  Yeah, because she wants you to be her boyfriend!

Burak:   Oh, you’re hopeless. I’m never telling you anything again!
