My Ottoman Girl

Meeting of the two families

The car stopped right in front of the hotel where I was staying. I let Dad and Mom down first. Syafri will park the vehicle in the basement.

I immediately headed to the reception desk because the check-in time was still 2 hours away I invited all my family to my spacious room.

the suitcase had been dropped from the car and Syafri and hotel staff had come to us in the lobby.

" I'm gonna call Elif to get down here" he said. I nodded and I saw Syafri call back.

" Ohya Father, Mother, Zein and Izza should rest in Hafiz's room first. Shower refreshes the body. " I took them all to my room. I have changed rooms to the president suit so it is very relieved to rest.

----------------------

I sent a message to Aygul, I said that all my family was present at the hotwl. And then my parents' lunch would like to meet their extended family. He welcomed the news of my parents' arrival with great joy and little fear he said.

I reassured him that everything would be fine.

After everything was done cleaning up, it seemed that my mother had Zein drag the suitcase she had brought earlier. My father saw me sitting reading his phone on the balcony. Zein was looking for Syafri out of the room. He was indeed quickly familiar with Syafri.

It's just me and Mom and Izza unpacking the suitcase.

Mother took out all the jewelry boxes. I was wide open to see the contents. 1 set of jewelry ranging from rings, bracelets, twigs and diamond-eyed necklaces all. I looked at my mother and fell silent.

Mother clasped my hands tightly and handed the heart-shaped box to me.

" Daughter, this is a gift from Mom and Dad for you. We've been preparing for this long before you're all grown up. Father and Mother have 2 sets that will be made into a wedding gift for the son of the father's daughter.

Because now Hafiz is getting married first then this gift is for you first. For Izza I'll give you when Izza gets married"

I hugged Mom very tightly, dad walked into the room while folding both his hands on his chest. I immediately hugged my father and thanked him.

Mom brought some small leather handbags and purses to give as souvenirs for the Aygul family. Izza wrapped her up neatly and beautifully.

Then there are 3 rather large boxes containing luggage from Indonesia. I just resignedly saw the 2 women deftly wrapped her. I was so grateful when my happy day the nuclear family was complete beside me.

I sat down on the side of the bed and laid myself down there. I helped arrange the boxes. There are 5 kinds of boxes that I brought from Indonesia. And all of them are made of boxes that can be installed manually.

There was a handbag that I saw so beautifully. The brown leather bag I know is made by hand made craftsman Dad who specifically I market abroad. It looks so beautiful and sturdy. Then there is a set of makeup that I know of famous brands from abroad that are a favorite of young people. And 1 box contains the Abaya silk shirt I bought and the French branded women's watch, I remember that watch I bought when I was on a business trip 1 year ago and that time I gave it to my mom.

And lastly 1 set of my parents' gift jewelry and wedding ring I bought with Syafri yesterday.

I heard a knock on the door. I walked to open it. A room boy said that the room I rented today was ready.

I nodded in gratitude.I deliberately placed my family room 1 floor with me so that we can easily communicate and coordinate.I immediately called Zein to immediately pack his luggage to be tidied up in his room.

Our family was preparing to have lunch with Aygul's extended family.

I've contacted Aygul to take all his family members to the restaurant at this hotel.

Dad and Mom have neatly used batik clothes write twin pair . Similarly, Zein and Izza also use batik Izza choose to use a more casual tunic so that it seems relaxed.

In the restaurant I have booked a private room so that we will not disturb and be disturbed by other guests.

After a while I saw Syafri enter the room with a woman and two small children. Maybe it was his wife Elif. He approached our family and introduced us to Elifpada.

Elif's face is similar to Aygul's. Especially her smile and eyes. But his eye beads are brown.

Elif turned out to be good at Malay, maybe Syafri had taught him a little.

" My elif personally thanked Syafri for his help during my time in Turkey" I said, shaking his right hand.

" Bang Together, Don't think too much. It's our duty to serve our prospective brother-in-law" he replied seductively. I blushed with a red face.

Mother gave a parcel to Syafri's wife. A happy look from his eyes.

" Elif receive an eye sign from me whose value is not how much. Do not value the price, son, " said mother. Elif smiles and kisses mom's hand.

Soon we all saw the Aygul family entering the private room.

Baba Farouq came forward to our table and followed the rest of the family.

Elif takes over Anne Hafsah pushing Aygul's wheelchair.

" I say Assalamualaikum to all the great families of Baba Farouq and Baba Murad. Introduce my parents. Mr. Candra and Ms. Zahira. And this is my sister Izza and her future husband Zein" I said, introducing my family.

Baba Farouq and Baba Murad immediately went forward to shake hands with Father and Zein. Then follow up other family members.

" Dad, Mommy introduce him named Aygul Dilara Burcu" I said as I approached Aygul. Aygul kissed the backs of my parents' hands and then I kissed Aygul's cheeks that were pale white slightly to the groaning. Then Izza took Aygul's hand and kissed him.

" Receive our greetings to the family and welcome to our country Mr and Ms Candra" said Baba Farouq.

" Thank you Mr. Farouq" replied Father.

Then we each took a seat that was available.

"He's still the same Aygul as 4 years ago my brother-in-law" teased Zein while whispering next to me.

Unaware I kept looking at her face and ignoring Zein's words.

He kicked my leg from under the table.

" Already.don't look on later sawan" godanya. I was embarrassed to hear Zein's joke.

3 The waiter came in with the lunch I ordered. I ordered Turkish and Indonesian dishes. So that both of our extended families can feel the assimilation of the youth of each country.

And the typical food that I ordered is also worldwide, namely beef rendang, meatballs and fried rice do not forget ice cendol. Maybe if in this country do not expect a distinctive taste with the cuisine of our people. But a little bit can represent our curiosity and culinary kangen if you are abroad.

Then for my family as usual I ordered koftah kan, briyani rice and some other typical Turkish cuisine.

" Please enjoy" I said. Then we all enjoyed lunch with a family atmosphere.
