My Ottoman Girl
Past of Iqlima candidates



dr Zein looks handsome in a white cocoa dress with a glove in matching color with a black vertica line. Wearing his personal distinctive black squat makes his good looks more visible. The whispers of the invitations sounded great. Many handsome young doctors who want to make him a son-in-law but unfortunately tomorrow want to be the son-in-law of the hehehe. The hum was heard by Mr. Yahya and he just smiled.


Given the long journey of his eldest son achieving this kind of feat, he did not even expect to be able to deliver his son up to the wedding gate with a famous businessman's daughter in the capital. Her tears welled up in the corner of the tip of her eyes that had started to get night blindness.


Zein the quiet who does not demand much to be able to meet his own needs rarely ask for remittances. And lucky to be able to get a scholarship to achieve a specialist doctor with the best achievements cumlaude graduates in his class.


They used to be looked at one eye because of his limited economic conditions, even he was often suddenly anfal due to heart disease and his wife was the slump in place of his role to make a living. Fortunately Abah Kyai gave him a chance at ndalem and there was his effort to sew a boarding school uniform.


He did not deny Abah Kyai's contribution was very large for the continuity of the family's economy so that he felt very indebted and wanted to be able to return the favor. Pak Yahya did not know if Abah Kyai's daughter had a special feeling on Zein so he never thought of anything. Unlike his wife and daughter who are currently affected by Iqlima.


Mother and Sarah are innocent, but they have a deep and unkind feeling with the girl. That was all because before Iqlima wanted to be proposed by Gus Rifky, his Umi had asked Bu Yahya for help to persuade the youngest daughter to accept Gus Ahmad's proposal for her son. Feeling indebted to Abah's family, Mother tried to speak kindly to Ning Iqlima.


" I'm not in love with Gus Rifky Bude, I don't want to marry because I have to! " his headers were upset in front of Bu Yahya when they were only three in the backyard of the pesantren. At that time Sarah and her mother were drying the clothes of Abah's family. Ms. Yahya stopped her activities. Then he invited Iqlima to sit on a long bench under the mango tree.


" Monggo pinarak riyen Ning, (let's sit here for a while Ning) "take Bu Yahya with a pat on the bench.


Iqlima approached Bu Yahya, if in this backyard they can freely interact because the Abah family is very rarely here. And the santri no one would dare to enter the courtyard of his Kyai house if there is no special request from the owner of the house.


"Bude, I don't know how to refuse anything else. Abah same Umi keep hard forced me to accept Gus Rifky while Bude know married without love is like being in hell"


His voice mendayu complained about the fate of his life to Bu Yahya. The half-century-old woman sighed with concern. He felt sorry to see his daughter kyai was hurt inwardly due to the matchmaking. But he remembered Umi's message asking him to seduce Iqlima to melt because Umi knew Bu Yahya was close to his youngest child.


" Bune help me to seduce Iqlima. In any case, she must accept Gus Rifky to be her husband in order to be the name of this pesantren because Abah and Kyai Ahmad have promised to marry them both since I was pregnant Iqlima"


Bu Yahya was pensive to hear Bu Nyai's request which sounded sad helpless and he lowered his head deeper and did not dare to look at the face of the Nyai.


"Excite Bu Nyai, I will try to seduce Ning Iq. To open your heart and accept Gus Rifky. Ngapunten (sorry) I can only direct but can not force him" replied Bu Yahya in a soft voice.


Bu Nyai nodded in agreement and there was a conversation like this afternoon in the backyard of Pak Kyai's mansion. Of the five Kyai children, only Iqlima is female. And Abah was very happy when his wife was pregnant with his youngest daughter because she once promised Gus Ahmad to match up with one of his sons and happened to be unmarried only Rifky.


He did not know the personality problems of his friend's son that he knew Gus Rifky was the third son of his friend who had long been in college in America. And currently is looking for the soul mate of a woman from pesantren to be made his wife.


Rifky Chaerullah is a young man who has two dual personalities that no one from his social environment knows. Only his family, especially his father and mother, knew that. Because as a child he was kidnapped by his own neighbors. He was tortured and harassed by his almost 40-year-old neighbor.


The abduction lasted for almost a week and by then he was 7 years old. After the kidnapper was successfully secured by the police, the mob tried to burn his hiding place but was failed by the Abah family because there was a small Rifky still in the room.


When found by his family Rifky in a terrible state. His body is tied up in bed with the position of using only *************** only. His hands were bound by handcuffs out of nowhere the bad guy could be security from the police. His face was bruised and his hair in scissors was not clear model. Ms. Nyai cried hysterically to see the condition of her son and some relatives immediately carried her to put her in the car.


Since then Rifky became quiet and did not want to talk to anyone. Until one day Abah called a psychiatrist to help his son mentally. But it was done by Abah secretly and to the capital so that his neighbors and relatives no one knows the mental illness that Rifky suffered during that time, almost once a week he underwent psychiatric therapy until Abah decided to buy a house there and sent one of his two confidants and one sister to accompany Rifky's life during the treatment period.


Little Rifky has a hard time adapting to new environments and if he is approached by others he will panic and his reaction will rage and scream. doctors say if the patient already has PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.


Abah Kyai and his wife were very sad with the state of his beloved son that even Bu Nyai until he fell ill for days thinking about the fate of his son. But thanks to the affection and sincerity of the people closest to him slowly Rifky developed until he began to adapt to the new environment. He could not even live a social life well, and Abah got input to send Rifky to school by home schooling so he could still get a private education at school.


Until Rifky was 17 years old, he had undergone the equivalent of High School education. Then he asked Abah to go to college in America because he got information through teachers and social media that college was better. Because of Umi's affection and love for Rifky she asks Abah to grant her son's very wish for school abroad besides that Umi also pity seeing Rifky has no close friends because he does not have much socialize with their peers.


Abah's financial condition at that time he was good the economy was being tested by God rose. Abah's business in agriculture successfully harvest is always abundant and the cattle and goats are also many. In addition, Abah also has the largest grocery store in his village so that for his rupiah coffers more and more.
