My Ottoman Girl

Welcome to Indonesia

The iron bird carrying Aygul's family landed safely at Soekarno Hatta International Airport. I saw on the display board that was in front of me the scheduled arrival of Qatar Airways aircraft on time as estimated. I stood anxiously impatiently staring at my beautiful wife's face. I deliberately invited Zein, Izah and Uncle Asep, Ujang and Pak Man Driver Dad. We brought 3 cars from home like a convoy. Because I knew we'd need more than one vehicle.

Moments later I could see a handsome man pushing trolly and behind him lined his other entourage. My eyes are looking for the girl I miss so much. Then not far from the man I saw someone sitting in an electronic wheelchair.

Oh my God it's him I married 1 month ago, and he seemed to be smiling at me. There was a figure of baba and Ane flanking him.

I immediately ran to meet the arrival of my family-in-law.

" Welcome to Indonesia Babaa, Ane, Agabey and My Wife. Enjoy our country." I said welcome them and took turns greeting them one by one.

Tired but happy looks radiated on the faces of all of them. I hugged my wife and kissed her head. Tears dripped and I wiped them off with my tip.

"Wellcome my country hunie. I hope you feel at home in your new home" I whispered as I sipped the fragrance of her head covered in black pasmina.

"Thank you dear. God willing" he answered.

Then Zein and Izza came forward and greeted all our guests. Then we waited for the car in front of the waiting room to quickly slide towards Dad's residence.

The car that Pak Man drove contained Emran, Mustofa, Baba Farouq, Baba Murad and Zein.

Then the car driven by Uncle Asep there is Me, Izza, Ane Rosalia, Ane Hafsah and My Wife Aygul.

While Mang Ujang Car contains suitcases and luggage of my family-in-law.

during the journey I always held my wife's hand and many times I kissed her pouring all my longings during this time. And it feels like I want to laugh to see Izza's mouth that often thaws at my intimacy with her sister-in-law.

Ane Roslina and Ane Hafsah looked overjoyed to look around on our way home. This afternoon Jakarta was a little jammed so we had to be patient until home. Shortly after, our car stopped in front of the house and was greeted by Firdaus who rushed to open the gate.

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

Because it just so happens that this is Saturday, Mom and Dad are on a day off from work. And deliberately Mother cooked special dishes to welcome the arrival of her besan family.

Father and Mother welcomed them all. I immediately told paradise and my two housekeepers to bring a suitcase to each of the rooms we had prepared for guests. I deliberately switched my room which was originally on the second floor to move downstairs a week before his arrival. Because I don't want him to have trouble going up and down the stairs with his wheelchair someday. I deliberately chose a room facing the pool and close to the kitchen to get a refreshing atmosphere when I wake up.

I took Aygul into my new room.

" This is our bedroom hunie. For a while we will stay at Dad's house until the renovation of our house is complete." I said as I hugged his shoulder.

He nodded slowly.

"Tomorrow I'll take you to see our new home. You see the building next to this house, right? Still covered with fiber and triplex plastic?"

" I paid less attention because I was too happy to be with you again" she replied with her green bead that looked at me lovingly. Immediately my desire rose with tenderness I kissed her tiny lips.

" OK, tomorrow morning we'll go there and you'll know our new palace. Honey, rest first. We'll have dinner soon with our family." Then I helped lift her tiny body out of the wheelchair.

After refreshing our bodies with a shower we immediately went out of the room to meet our extended family. It turns out that in the new dining room there's Dad sitting with Zein. It seems like the two of them were having a serious conversation. When we came closer, Dad immediately gave us his big smile.

" Welcome to our home. Hope you live here." Said Dad patting gently on Aygul's shoulder. He smiled and nodded

" Thank you Dad. Insha Allah Aygul will be hardened here" he replied steadily.

" Hafiz where are Baba and Ane and sister-in-law ? we're going to have dinner together Dad said "asked Zein to me because he just saw me alone out of the room.

" Maybe they are all still resting from exhaustion. But soon they will leave the room because we have told them we will hold a dinner together" said Aygul.

I looked for the figure of my mother and sister who I hadn't seen since.

" Mom and Izza where's Zein going?" much

Zein pointed her right finger towards the pool.

" Tuh is preparing dinner next to the pool" he replied.

I say goodbye to Dad to invite Aygul to come to Mom, Dad nods his head.

On the side of the table Mang Asep and Bi Rohaya Serta Atiyah looked busy turning a goat roll. A look of joy emanated from the faces of my faithful house assistants.

Perhaps because it was still awkward towards my wife, my house assistants only nodded with a smile as we passed by. I deliberately called Bi Rohaya and atiyah approached me.

" Bi Roh and Atiyah please come here for a while" my hand wave stopped their activities and immediately approached me.

" Yes Mas Hafiz" replied Bi Rohaya while carrying a napkin in his hand.

" Know this is my wife, Aygul" I said to my house assistants.

Then Bi Roh and Atiyah alternately shook hands while smiling.

" Hi hello. My Names Aygul's. Nice to meet you" Aygul said. I saw both of my assistants scratching their heads that I felt were not itching. I am glad to see him holding back a laugh. Perhaps they were confused by Aygul's words because they did not know English. Then I helped translate it.

" My wife says her name is Aygul and she's happy to see you" I said, curling her shoulders from behind.

Bi Roh and Atiyah puckered her bibor to form the letter O. I laughed and they answered in funny words.

" Me Bi Rohaya and her Atiyah is the laundry part of the mistress," Bi Rohaya replied as she pointed at herself and Atiyah.

I laughed amusedly at Bi Rohaya's body gesture. Aygul for not so understanding finally I helped translate the words Bi Rohaya.

" Hunie, She said her name was bi rohaya and the other one was washing clothes she's name Atiyah" I told Aygul. He nodded in a sign of understanding. Then I ended my conversation with Bi Rohaya and pushed back my wife's wheelchair towards Mom who was busy arranging the table with izzas.

Mother greeted Aygul with a kiss of affection on his forehead and told Aygul to enjoy the snack that has been presented at the table.

Izza set the dishes on the table.

" Mas , Later the Assistants I teach English so that I can communicate with Aygul's sister" said Izza seriously because I had seen my interaction with the household assistant. I smiled as I held my two thumbs up.

"It's a good capsule, but don't ask for extra pocket money right from Mas?" ledek. Izza rolled her eyes witty

"It's obligatory hahahaha" he replied laughing. I grunt. Because Aygul also did not understand my conversation with Izza he just kept quiet. I stroked his head and explained my words earlier. He seemed enthusiastic and suddenly expressed a desire to learn Indonesian because he was aware of accompanying me here and not everyone was willing and able to speak International English.

I agreed and had Izza find a private tutor for Aygul. To make it easier for her to communicate at home with my assistants. Because later his days will be a lot with the assistant.

Moments later both my parents-in-law and my father-in-law and Zein were already heading to the poolside. Mother greeted the two guests with joy and then my assistants, drivers and gardeners joined in enjoying the dinner we held to welcome the family guests. The assistants choose to enjoy on the edge of the pool while turning back the goat bolsters.

Several times I saw both pairs of my in-laws fascinated by the enjoyment of my mother's cooking. Goat bolsters plus goat gule do not forget satay and rice kebuli. Izza smilingly presented her fruit pudding and homemade Salad.

Mustafa and Emran seemed to be smiling in satisfaction while stroking his stomach we laughed at their laughter. Aygul fed a slice of mutton into my mouth. I accidentally bit his fingertips he complained in surprise. Then pinched my stomach with anxiety.

God, I am so happy today that I enjoy this togetherness. Then suddenly Banu security who was guarding the front gate entered from the side door.

He rushed towards me. I scrunched my forehead.

" I'm sorry to interrupt, there's a guest looking for Mas Hafiz." Said

" Who?" much

" A young woman"

I called Izza closer.

" Deck try to see who the guests are looking for mas in front. He said a girl"

She nodded and immediately rushed out following Banu from behind her.

"Who is it ?" I murmured in my heart while glancing at Aygul fearing there was a misunderstanding between us.

A little while later Izza was back with someone I knew very well. I immediately turned my eyes to see the girl
