Cem, duygularını saklayamıyordu.En: “Elif, it's so nice to see you!” Cem couldn’t hide his emotions.Tr: İçinde bir kıpırtı yanıyordu.En: There was a thrill burning inside him.Tr: Onunla bir zamanlar paylaştıkları anlar aklında yeniden canlandı.En: The moments they once shared replayed in his mind.Tr: Kahvelerini alıp oturdular.En: They grabbed their coffees and sat down.Tr: Cem'in aklında bir soru vardı: Hayalini Elif'le paylaşmalı mıydı?En: A question was on Cem's mind: Should he share his dream with Elif?Tr: Elif ise kalbindeki duyguları Cem'e anlatmayı düşünüyor, ama korkuyordu.En: Elif, on the other hand, was thinking of revealing her feelings to Cem, but she was afraid.Tr: Arkadaşlıkları risk altındaydı.En: Their friendship was at risk.Tr: Laf döndü dolaştı ve Cem dayanamayıp "Kendi kafemi açmak istiyorum," dedi.En: The conversation turned and turned, and Cem couldn't resist and said, "I want to open my own cafe."Tr: Sesi titrememeye çalışıyordu.En: He was trying to keep his voice from trembling.Tr: Elif bunu duyunca bir an için düşündü.En: Elif thought for a moment when she heard this.Tr: Tüm bu zaman boyunca Cem’in bu isteğinin hayalini bile kuramamıştı.En: All this time, she hadn’t even dreamed of Cem's desire.Tr: Başlangıçta sessiz kaldı ama sonra yüreğinden geldiği gibi konuştu.En: Initially, she stayed silent, but then she spoke from her heart.Tr: "Ben de bir sözüm var," dedi Elif.En: “I have something to say too,” said Elif.Tr: "Yıllardır yok saydığımdan beri...
