121. NOSTALGIC
After airing less than twelve hours and five minutes above the sky, the plane flying from Jakarta (JKT) arrived Istanbul Atatrek airport (IST). After landing safely, Keevano took his two grandchildren and granddaughter-in-law to a temporary retreat not far from the airport. They will continue their journey after resting. Pity Kara who is pregnant if she immediately leaves for Ankara. So they agreed to rest first in Istanbul, at least one night.
As for the plan to visit one of the iconic buildings in Istanbul—Hagia Shofia— Mosque will be diverted to the last part of their trip while in Turkey. Tomorrow they will go to Ankara to meet relatives of the Arkia family, possibly staying for a few days Arkia's father's hometown. Only after returning from Ankara are they free to do anything.
“We order food first to fill the stomach. Let it be delivered to the room later,” said Vano told. “You can try Turkish tea which is very unique way of serving, try also ayran—a typical Turkish drink made from yogurt mixed with a little salt, or Turkish coffee that is no less unique. You can enjoy one of them with simit—roti round shape with the middle of the hole that sprinkles white sesame on it. If you want to eat heavy food, you can order Turkish pilav—nasi which is processed with butter, salt, peas, along with spices and other mixed ingredients. You can also order rice kebuli, or a plate of warm rice with patlican tava—terong cooked with chili, sliced meat, and various spices.
If you do not want to eat rice, you can buy kumpir—saji potatoes baked with a variety of toppings, such as sausages, vegetables, and sauces. It tastes delicious and delicious. There are also various kebabs that you can choose, such as doner type kebabs, shish kebabs, kebab iskenders, and more.”
Keevano said as he walked in front of his grandchildren and granddaughter-in-law. The man who was already in his twilight age with a little insight about the delicious culinary that can be enjoyed in Turkey. Keevano has also taken care of the hotel booking problem, so they only check in.
“Arsyad and Kara room number 144. While opa and Davian room number 145, followed by the guards' room,” Vano said as they entered the elevator. It is like a tour gouid who is in charge of explaining this and that.
Lying if Keevano does not feel happy to be back in this country. But this time he came alone without his wife. Considering Arkia has a busy with Radityan foundation that women manage independently. Foundations established to help underprivileged children. Arkia actively helps there, because he said he was bored if only staying at home.
“We just rest after eating. if you want to go out to buy something, at least you must be accompanied by two bodyguards,” Vano message. Reminds.
“Good opa,” said Arsyad who since not a second away from the wife. The pregnant woman looked exhausted.
“The food you ordered will be delivered soon. Before that, you can clean the body or straighten the legs of the goods for a moment,” added Vano as they exited the elevator. “If something is awkward, directly contact opa,” the message to the married couple currently standing before him.
In order not to be flashy, they did check in first four people. While the bodyguards that were prepared, were divided into two teams. One team checks in before them, and another team checks in after they do this check.
“Good, opa.” Arsyad replied while nodding.
“We will directly opa phone if there is anything,” Kara added.
“Hm. Then we part here.” Keevano turned to his granddaughter one more who had been a hen. The tumben?
“What are you doing playing mobile phone? From the plane until you get here, that inanimate thing you keep playing. Not afraid of exploding?” nagel Vano's.
“No dong, opa. The smartphone era is explosive. Lagian Dadav again contacted business partner.”
“Ya already, continued later in the room. Do not play mobile while walking.”
“Good, opa.”
“We go first. You guys should also hurry in.”
After saying so, Vano parted ways with Arsyad and Kara who were already at the door of their hotel room. Vano and Davian were next to their hotel room.
“Capek hm?”
“Slightly,” Kara said as Arsyad managed to open the door with a key card.
“Sini, I remove the fatigue first.”
“Indeed you know how?” confused Kara when they were already in the room.
“Of course.”
“What is it like?”
Arsyad smiled mysteriously, then moved his hand to reach the back of his head. For a while Kara gasped for the attack. However, the next second, the young mother's body was as if exposed to an electric shock that shocked the heart when one kiss stopped on her forehead with a long duration.
“How hm? His fatigue has been reduced a little?”
“Wash hands and feet first, if you do not want to clean the body. New lying.”
“Iya.”
“Let me unload the suitcase, you get into the bathroom first. Later use bathroob if out,” Arsyad message while caressing the surface of the belly of the distended wife.
Kara could only agree to her husband's very sensitive orders. A happiness itself has a husband who from the outside is memorable cold, flat, and untouched, but actually very caring, sensitive, and understanding.
“Be careful to stand on foot if the floor is wet. If it's too vulnerable, just call me.”
“Iya, yanda,” Kara said. He then took off his coat and sling bag. Storing on a seat near a glass table. “But...”.
“But why?” the handsome man turned around as he opened the suitcase.
“Kara ..mau accompanied,” shrewd the wife, made the husband chuckle as he nodded.
“Fear?”
“Ngak ih,” Deny Kara is upset. “Mau yanda just, let clean-up save time. So when the food comes, we're done cleaning.”
“That according to you.” Arsyad approached, not opening the suitcase. “If in my opinion, we will spend a long time to clean the body if together.”
“What the hell, does not mean Kara,” ketus the wife while hastily taking 1000 steps into the bathroom.
“Don't hurry, later you fall,” call Arsyad while following the wife.

“Opa what are you doing on the balcony? Not cold?” ask Davian who just joined on the balcony with Keevano.
“Opa is nostalgic.”
“With this Country?”
“More precisely with memories in this place,” Vano correction. “As you said while on the plane, a city becomes a memory or not, depending on who you pass by.”
Davian nodded as he stared at the expanse of Istanbul which was so beautiful at night. Flickering lights in various directions, as if creating their own artwork.
“Opa used to make a lot of memories with your oma here. In this country too, om kamu—Anzar grows and grows. In addition, Arshad's father and your mother were also born here. More precisely in Ankara, the place we will visit tomorrow.”
“This place does have a lot of historical for opa, huh?”
“Sure. More precisely for the Radityan family. If in the past opa did not come to this country to look for oma, then opa is not sure the Radityan family will be intact like today.”
