Yes, I have a best friend. Her name is Aslö. Aslö and I have been inseparable since childhood. Her mom and my mom are best friends. We are always together in the sense that we even attended the same primary and secondary schools. In addition, we came to Istanbul together for our tertiary education. I would also say that we always have each other's back in times of difficulty, and we handle our issues amicably no matter what.
