To meet a friend, Suat goes to a cafe in a neighborhood where he hasn't spent much time before. He sits down and, finding that his friend hasn't arrived yet, he orders tea from the waiter and starts browsing the internet on his phone. While he's waiting for his tea, he notices the waiters asking the people sitting at the front of the cafe to stand up. They remove the tables and create an empty space. In this newly created space, a table-like structure with a nice cover and a flower on it catches his attention. At that moment, the waiter lifts the flower and pulls off the cover, revealing a musalla stone underneath.

Shortly after, a hearse arrives and a coffin is taken out and placed on the musalla stone. Suat watches in amazement. Some of the people in the cafe are astonished, witnessing this event for the first time, while others continue their conversations on the sidelines without hesitation, clearly used to such occurrences. Meanwhile, the music playing in the cafe is turned off, and the congregation stands in rows for the funeral prayer. The imam performs the rituals, the prayer is said, the rights are given, and the corpse is hurriedly removed and loaded back onto the hearse.

As Suat watches in amazement, he raises his head and sees a minaret. He realizes that the cafe he is sitting in is actually located in the courtyard of a mosque. The waiters quickly move the tables back to the empty space, the musalla stone is camouflaged again, the music turns on, people sit back in their seats, and life goes on.
