Day two in Istanbul, Dara is free because later tonight he has to fly again to the Netherlands.so, today he will spend time to get around enjoying the atmosphere of Istanbul, the city of Istanbul, in the morning. Andara came out with Mbak Tia earlier, but because they were different goals.they parted in the lobby, because Dara was still waiting for his taxi order.
Hotel security approached Dara, saying her taxi was waiting outside. Dara approached the taxi and entered.he smiled at the driver and spoke English later, showing the destination on his phone because he could not speak Turkish.
The taxi stopped at the coffee shop that was shown by Andara through his cellphone, he then paid for the taxi and came out with a look of amazement. here people chat with their acquaintances while enjoying the stunning Bosporus scenery.in Indonesia rarely found people relax in the morning enjoy coffee or tea and laugh at each other, he said, sharing the story, oh it feels like Dara doesn't want to go home anymore.
He did not go to the coffee shop, but he chose to enjoy the Bosporus more closely. Dara often saw this scene through photos or paintings by someone. Dara also wanted to be able to produce a painting, one of the sights of the Turkish city, Dara continued down the edge of the Bosphorus. until his ears caught the beautiful sound of people teaching.he remembered Nanta, so he remembered Nanta, with enthusiasm he approached the direction the voice was coming from.
The mosque, the voice came from inside the mosque. Dara took off her footwear, and entered slowly into the mosque.this is not the first time she entered the mosque.but still her heart trembled every time she entered the place of worship of Muslims. he turned away but the beautiful voice seemed to pull him to keep going deeper inside.
Dara finally entered the mosque.In he saw the stunning architecture of the building.His view turned to the figure of an adult man who was reading the Qur'an. the man was surrounded by some children who seemed to be listening to the man's reading.Anda's heart trembled at the man's melodious voice, as when Nanta read the Koran, Dara also always quivered. After having a chance to photograph him turning around without tears dripping on his cheeks, Dara did not understand why he was crying.
When he arrived outside, Dara still had time to look inward, then he stood leaning on the porch pole of the mosque.His eyes closed tightly enjoying the melodious sound that flowed beautifully. until the sound stopped Andara walked towards the place where she took off her shoes earlier.he lowered his head not focused, until someone was standing next to him he was not aware. Andara who is not focused continues to look down but does not immediately wear his shoes, just in his grasp.
The person standing next to Dara slightly chuckled, because the look on your face was very funny.
"ehem, merhaba there yardim edebilir miyim?" ask Dara, patting her shoulder slowly.
Dara was a little surprised, she looked up.
Dara did not understand what the man was saying.wasn't that the person who had read the Quran?.he just looked at the person in front of him while putting on an incomprehensible smile. that person understands that Dara doesn't understand her words because she doesn't get an answer.
"sorry, I Selim. what you are doing need help?" ask the man friendly.
"hi Selim, i'm Andara. emm. i really like hearing your voice reading the Qur'an."
Dara was a little confused about what to say so she only expressed her admiration.
"Very's? do you mind, if we continue talking there." show Selim at the coffee and tea shop across there.
Dara nodded.
"of course, if it doesn't brother you."
They sat at one of the empty tables and smiled at each other kindly. Selim recommends his favorite tea here.Of course you accept the offer.
"i walked around here, and was interested when heard you read the Qur'an" Dara told Selim.
"i'm flattered. are you interested in learning to read the Qur'an too." Selim bargained to Dara. he wanted to teach Dara to read the Qur'an like her earlier.
"no. i'm chatolic!"
Tell Dara to Selim. Dara thought Selim would be surprised because he was a Catholic but entered the mosque. Dara is afraid of offending.
"forgive me." said Selim while putting his hands together. ah but it turns out even Selim who apologized for not asking first.
"it's okay, actually my boyfriend is a muslim. I also sometimes hear him recite."
obviously Dara on Selim. if Dara actually has a lover of a Muslim.
They continued to talk while enjoying the tea they had ordered. Dara is interested in Selim's story because Selim is a native turkish, so Andara asks him to tell her about the Turkish thing that later can attract Andara to come back to this country again.
Of course Selim happily told about the history of mosque buildings in Turkey.why mosque? because of seeing Andara who wants to enter the mosque, Selim so think if maybe Andara likes the building of the mosque.
Selim tells about the Ottoman caliphate that ruled for more than 6 centuries.
there are 5 most beautiful and historic mosques in Turkey.
1.Sultan Ahmed Mosque.
it is commonly called a blue mosque, because it emits a blue color when it is overwritten by sunlight that enters through the windows of 260 stained glass.
2.The Bursa Grand Mosque
or called the Bursa Grand Mosque, UNESCO includes it in the list of world heritage.
3.The Great Mosque of Sulaimaniyah
it is a historical relic in the heyday of the Ottoman Turkish dynasty.
4.Hagia Sophia Mosque
it is a former church of ancient Greece, evidence of the fall of the imperial capital Constantinople under Muhammad al-Fatih.
5.Ortakoy Mosque
or often called Buyuk mecidiye camii, right in the city of Istanbul, made by Armenian architects.
"isn't that mosque earlier?" tanya Dara cuts Selim's explanation.
"yes that's right, the mosque that you entered earlier." Selim replied nodding and smiling happily.meaning Dara already knew the name of the mosque before she entered it. yes Ortakoy Mosque is a mosque that made Dara was amazed.
Selim explained that the Ortakoy mosque is a mosque that is famous as a romantic mosque.the color of the pink wall and its location on the edge of the Bosphorus strait, has a view set against the background of the Bosphorus bridge, the bridge connects the Turkish side of Europe and the Turkish side of Asia.
Selim also gave thanks to Andara, and hoped Andara would still want to visit Turkey someday.
"see you next time" cried Selim because Andara was far enough away, but could still hear the screams of Selim.
Dara immediately returned to the hotel, because in 6 hours she had to prepare to fly again. Dara is happy to meet Selim today.It turns out every city in the world has an amazing history like the country of Indonesia which has a long history.
Andara tried to contact Nanta via VC, but never answered. he put down his phone and it turns out Nanta called him.
'Hallo my dear.' said Nanta spirit. he had missed his lover very much.
"hallo kak, em Dara wants a VC." whine Andara on Nanta.
'no more while nugas darling, just call ya.'
It was clearly Nanta who made Dara pout.
"yes, I don't papa."
After a long time he chatted with Nanta they decided to continue the phone tomorrow again because Nanta had afternoon class.
Dara saw the watch in his hand, it was still a long time to wait for his flight hours.he tried to call Saka but when picked up was turned off by Dara himself. he contacted Saka again via VC. but just like Nanta earlier, not answered by Saka. was not the phone raised then why now the VC connection is not!.
With a little annoyed he again contacted Saka by phone, and was immediately picked up by Saka.
'hallo Andara is beautiful.' say hello first
"the VC I'm not raised anyway Ka?"
'already calling, there is no quota of my internet.' replied Saka casually.
"the house has WiFi!" annoyed Dara because she thought she was so good what can be in bo'ongin.
'yes there but I'm not connecting.' still with a relaxed tone Saka replied. instead it makes Andara even more upset.
'ih Saka ngeselin! I'm looking at elo's ugly face."
'is that ugly? okay I burn all the paintings Lo in the warehouse.' threatened Saka who immediately makes Dara more pouty.
"cook Lo play ngancem anyway Ka."
yes, Andara did borrow an unused warehouse at Saka's house on Saka's bunda, for where he painted and stored his painting tools.auto all Andara paintings that sold belom are there dong.
'yes, don't take it.'
" yes, Lo who is a bawel. eh I just met a guy his voice is really good." tell Andara with passion to Saka.
' oh Lo cheated there' Saka replied still in a relaxed tone.
"ih Saka nyebelin." annoyed Dara who immediately turned off her phone connection.
Mood so destroyed.aih he so want to paint remember about his painting. Dara wanted to paint the incident earlier, fortunately he had time to photograph it. maybe later when in the Netherlands he took time to paint because he currently does not have a painting tool, he did not have a painting tool, there is no way he brought a painting tool from Jakarta, menuhin his suitcase.
You are confused if he wants to get out of the room to the swimming pool at the hotel.not for swimming but to sit back there.
Dara contacted mbak Tia who is still in busy shopping.ah good so that Mbak Tia can spend money to make herself happy.
Dara ordered a drink to accompany her to relax.he saw Nattalie and her two other friends.he waved his stairs at them.
They talked long enough until late afternoon. Dara decided to pack her things so that no one was left behind. along the way she read WA grub which contained of course her classmates. they talked about a lot of things he missed these days at school.
some of them even asked for her.
Dara read their conversation until she laughed unconsciously she was in the elevator, of course the people in the elevator also smiled. teenage girls his age is a time when someone enjoys an exciting time in life.Your joy is contagious to those who are with him in the elevator.
Arriving at the room turned out to be Ma'am Tia had reached the hotel earlier.
"tia shopping a lot huh?" said Dara while looking at the groceries mbak Tia.
"iya dong. mumpung can still enjoy, I will enjoy the results of my hard work." mbak Tia spoke like she was promoting, full of enthusiasm.
Dara just shook her head, for Andara enjoying time in every place is also a special and valuable thing.
"let's pack, we should be at the airport by 07.00 p.m."
"ready boss." Dara is very enthusiastic in addition to getting money from his work, let's just say he can get a free vacation and enjoy the scenery that is rarely seen.
In Indonesia Nanta is cooking in Dara's apartment. he misses Andara very much because at this time it is impossible to see his face he can only let go of his miss by eating your favorite soy sauce chicken in the girl's apartment. if his face is not full of bruises, of course, he prefers VC earlier.
Not much different from Saka. he was playing to the house of Vian. accompany the man to play games. just try his face is not like this for sure he also wants to meet face to face directly through the VC with Andara.
The two of them could only resist longing.and for Vian. he was satisfied this morning to see the face of Andara who was showing off her existence who was taking a walk to enjoy the scenery in Istanbul.
