My Ottoman Girl

Aygul's biological family

Just as we finished dinner, Baba Farouq's phone suddenly shook. He immediately picked up after looking on the screen the name of his caller.

Moments later he had finished talking on the phone and a smile fell on his lips.

" Baba Murad and his family have arrived at the hotel lobby, let's meet them immediately" he said as he tidied his belongings on the dining table.

We immediately went down to the main lobby. I pushed Aygul's wheelchair. His small body weight makes the load in this wheelchair becomes light

The elevator we were riding was moving down. Soon the door opened and we went out in turn.

"Assalamualaikum Mr Farauq Mrs Hafsah" Greetings A man aged approximately 65 years while holding Baba Farouq.

The two hugged a long time ago, and a woman my mother's age also hugged Anne Hafsah. Behind him were 3 younger men.

The man who was about 10 years older than me looked very handsome and had a large high posture. He's wearing a black leather jacket. Then next to him looks younger but there is a resemblance on their faces.

" Mr & Mrs Murad, introduce her Hafiz our future son-in-law "Said Baba Farauoq introduced me and pulled my frozen body.

I immediately shook my right hand and kissed the back of my future-in-law's hand. Alternate with the hands of the future mother-in-law.

" Then this is the handsome Emran's first brother Aygul and Amir and Mustafa's second brother and Aygul's sister" continued Baba Farouq.

I shook the hands of both brother and 1 sister Aygul. They greeted me with full eyes. But the sharp gaze of First Brother Aygul's eyes was still full of probing. I let Aygul's biological family sit in the hotel lobby available.

Luckily, they all spoke English except for Anne Roslina, Aygul's birth mother, who was not fluent in English. Syafri has passed away and we went back to her house a while ago.

I called a hotel attendant and asked for some snacks and warm drinks.

Aygul's face looked happy and his head leaned against Anne Roslina's hand. I'm a little pounding because now I'm alone without my family to accompany me.

I rustled to see Aygul's beauty who was indeed very similar to her real mother.

Emran cleared his throat breaking our silence.

" Mr Hafiz." he said firmly

" Call me Hafiz only Agabey (brother)" I replied with a smile. The atmosphere was a little quiet so it started to melt.

Emran smiles. As an older brother his attitude was very dominant and resolute. I felt the aura protecting him was very strong.Just like my feelings for Izza, I acted the same as Emran.

I nodded my head.

" It's good Agabey. Please ask me anything I will answer"

" Is it true that you love Baci with her condition like this?" ask him directly without a stale base.

The aura of interrogation was felt all around me. I realized maybe for people who don't know me would doubt my sincerity. Moreover, everyone wants to get married once in a lifetime.

" Agabey, I know Aygul not 1 month 2 months. We have known each other for 5 years. And God willing I have established my heart and body sincerely love your Baci. May Allah SWT bless my sincere intentions" I replied steadily

Amir and Mustafa mangosteen. Then Anne Roslina who had just been silent finally made a sound. But the sentence was translated by Amir.

" Does your mother mind having a daughter-in-law like this? she can't be active and be the perfect daughter-in-law for your mother. Anne's afraid it'll make your mother disappointed" I saw the look of worry in her green bead.

I know and am very aware that the feelings of a mother in any part of the world will greatly worry her daughter if it has become the property of a foreign man she just met. They will think about the happiness of his daughter and will be very sad if later his daughter is treated less well by his daughter-in-law's family.

"God willing, my mother understood Aygul's condition. Because we have a sister who we love very much and we lindunhi, we also want our sister to be treated well by the family of her future husband. So we also have to treat Aygul well. And we all had faith that God would heal Aygul. " I answered trying to convince her birth mother.

After hearing my translation, Aygul's mother said.

" Thank you Damat (boy-in-law)" he replied. I cupped both my palms to my chest.

The entire Aygul extended family agreed to continue the conversation about my marriage tomorrow after my family came to Turkey. So we postponed 1 day and Baba Ostman also didn't mind if her time was off another day. In honor of my extended family who have traveled thousands of miles flying across different continents.

Relieved to finally convince Aygul's biological family tonight.

The dish I ordered has come. I let them enjoy immediately. I glanced at Aygul's face. Her charming smile returned beautifully like the radiance of the moon in the middle of darkness.

Baba Murad who had just listened to our conversation seemed to be getting tired and yawned several times. The time is almost 23:00 local time. I love to see my two pairs of future in-laws are so tired. I immediately offered Aygul's biological family to stay at the hotel tonight. So that tomorrow can continue the conversation about my marriage with their beloved daughter.

Asking his two mothers to get him to sleep tonight, Baba Murad and Baba Farouq finally relented and shared a room. While the three brothers say goodbye because they tomorrow morning there are still personal needs that must be completed first.

Eventually we all entered our rooms to release our unresolved physical exhaustion.

I looked back at the beautiful face of my Moon Goddess. Between believing and not finally I was able to meet again after that painful breakup.
