Bir akşam Bursadaki ablam ile telefonda konuşmuştuk.
Ablambizi Bursaya davet ediyordu. Öylesine kocama söylediğimde ee gidin tabi Serkanla.
Biraz hava almış olursunuz dedi. Oğlum odaya geldiğinde ona da sordum.
İstersen gidelim anne dedi. Tamam öyleyse cuma günü gidelim, bir hafta kalır ertesi hafta sonu döneriz dedim.
