-When and how will my parents be buried?
-After 3 days,at the cemetery of this neighbourhood.I will personally solve this issue.Now,let's go in the kitchen.You must be starving right now like us.
Selim was hesitating to enter,but Safiye held his hand and made him enter inside the kitchen.
-These are our traditional meals.I am pretty sure,that you haven't seen them before,have you,Selim?-Safiye asked and smiled at Selim.
-You have a point,Safiye!They are neither Georgian nor Greek meals.
-These are Circassian dishes,Selim!I am Circassian who was abducted from his town and brought here by force at the age of 15.
-I was told by my abductors,that we Georgians and Circassians are notorious due to our beauty.They told me,that we have all sorts of eye colours and hair colours.Turns out,that they were telling me the truth.
-Indeed,Selim!Do you have any idea what is the most painful fact about these two beautiful nations?
-What is it,doctor?
-Only Georgians and Circassians are capable to give up their own family members for money.They are willing to sell their sons,daughters and siblings at the local slave markets!
-What are you implying by saying at the local slave markets?
-Near to the place where they are kidnapped.In other words,imagine a family that has run out of all the money.They have nothing to eat.They see thousands of Ottoman kidnappers invading their towns and villages.The invaders destroy everything around them.They are desperately searching for beautiful girls and handsome boys in order to take them to Istanbul...Let's sit down on the chairs and talk simultaneously.I will tell you how I ended up here faraway from my native land.
