Toqalka | Creating an Atmosphere of Calm | Episode 1
People often talk about "tokal takay" or "sekaya,"
But who is a "tokal" really?
I'll explain to you: it's not about prostitution, marriage, children, or cheating—oh no.
My dear—it's about something more.
I create an atmosphere of calm.
I don't burden him with everyday life, I don't make sure he drinks or eats less.
I don't care...
I'm his ideal option.
