When Love Teases

132. The Autumn in Turkey

Turkish

The country is located in the Eurasian region, which is on the cross-continental between Asia and Europe. The country is famous for the history of civilization and culture, the magnificent variety of architecture, is currently in the autumn (autumn). Where the average temperature that takes place in Turkey during autumn ranges between 20°C and can drop until it reaches the number 14°C.

Cold temperature conditions like this, not hot nor cold. Also not too crowded with tourists, very enjoyed by a couple, newlyweds who are still warm. Rama and Puput.

Arrive at Istanbul International Airport, Turkey. A tour guide of Indonesian nationality, who had been rented before, drove Rama and Puput to rest in the hotel. As per the schedule, do not necessarily explore the most populous city in Turkey that is full of history.

"Neng, cape no?" Rama blinked his eyes accompanied by a meaningful grin. It tilts the body facing the already-previous puput rising to the contest.

Puput. Rama sparkles.

"Ish, wrong. I mean not tonight. Tomorrow we will begin the adventure. Now sleep is lost in pegel."

"Yes, kirain...." Rama pursed his lips. "Darling, it is in every city that we visited that we were committed to anu" he sulked.

"Yes, Aa. The last time we went back to Istanbul. Last destination before returning home. So it starts tomorrow at the Kusadasi hotel." The puput pinched the gnarled lips of Rama who pursed.

"Pinch don't use your hands, Neng. But wear lips." Rama moved his body closer.

"Promise is just a kiss. Not more!" Threaten Puput who was sleepy after this afternoon walk in a location not far from the hotel.

"Yes.kalo no khilaf." Said Rama who began to squander first. That unconvincing answer made Puput only able to sigh.

The name of the passion that has risen to the crown, becomes a responsibility if it is not continued. Rama launched the mode. Migraine and difficulty sleeping. Puput relented resignedly to being in a cage until reaching the peak of nirvana together. Both fell asleep in fatigue until dawn.

The second day after breakfast at the hotel, a guide named Yosa picked up with a minibus. It works as a driver too.

Second day trip to Bursa and Kusadasi. After a two-hour drive, the car carrying Rama and Puput arrived at the Great Mosque of Ulucamii.

"Mas Rama and Mbak Putri, the Great Mosque of Ulucamii Bursa is a landmark of the city of Bursa." Yosa said while in the courtyard of the mosque.

"The mosque was built by the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid I, as his promise for having won several Nicopolis wars." Yosa began to explain the history of the mosque.

Rama and Puput took it seriously.

"Seusai won the Nicopolis War in 1396, promising to build 20 mosques. But things did not go as planned. To replace the 20 mosques, he then made 20 domes in the Bursa mosque. The mosque was built between 1396 and 1399."

Yosa took a walk into the area inside the mosque. Rama and Puput were immediately treated to a lot of beautiful calligraphy works on the walls of the mosque. The two looked full of admiration staring at that exquisite calligraphy.

"This mosque is able to accommodate up to 5000 worshipers as well as being an important monument to the presence of Ottoman architectural works. Also known as calligraphy mosque. Calligraphy work began to be made in the range of 1778-1938 by 41 calligraphy artists at that time." Yosa explained smoothly as if she had memorized it outside her head.

"Do you want to pray Duha in this mosque, Mas, Mommy? Because we will continue to the Green Mosque and Green Tomb. We'll be sublime there." Connect Yosa.

"Aaah, Duha yuk!" Take Puput. Approved by Rama. Yosa also participated in performing the circumcision prayer.

Switch to the Green Mosque and Green Tomb which are in one complex. It stands on a hill in the Yesil neighborhood of Bursa.

"Green Tomb or Green Tomb is the tomb of Sultan Mehmet I, the fifth Ottoman Sultan who was buried in 1421. Designed by architect Haci Ivaz Pasha who also designed Yesil Mosque or Green Mosque next door." Clearly Yosa was inside the Green Tomb. He also explained that another tomb flanking is the tomb of the son and daughter of the Sultan.

"It's called the Green Tomb because the dominant green hexagonal structure is the same as the blue-green tiles?" Guess Rama who spread his gaze around with admiration. How this beautiful architecture is made is so complicated. The mosaic decoration on the tiles in the tomb was very beautiful.

"Rubber, Mas. In addition, because the outside environment is also dominant green plants in the garden and garden." Sahut Yosa's.

"Humans in the early 14th century turned out to be very smart. Architects now are not necessarily able to design works of high value gini art." Tremor of the Escape is more aimed at yourself.

The tour continues to Kusadasi. And Joshua invited Rama and Puput to rest in the hotel for tomorrow to continue visiting the ancient city of Ephesus.

...***...

"See what? Very henry." Rama hugged Puput from behind. Standing by the window while pointing the camera. Attach long, half-wet hair to the right neck. The man inhales the free left neck.

Today, both have moved to the tour city of Pamukkale. Also known as Cotton Castle (Cotton Palace). This area is famous for its mineral carbonate content. It is a hot spring area.

The mineral carbonate that forms has been around for a long time. It naturally formed the walls like a pool of pure white like cotton. That is why it is famous by the name of Cotton Palace.

"See Cotton Castle from here. It's beautiful." Puput turns the face so that the cheeks collide with the lips of Rama. This morning without sunlight is warmed by mutual lip magut.

Rama and Puput did not miss soaking in the thermal pond of the Cotton Palace. The hot spring has been used as a spa since the second century BC. It is also close to Hierapolis, which houses the largest museum in the world in Greco-Roman architecture.

"You're still here, add another day?" The proposal of Rama who now put his hands behind the bathrobe. Last night didn't take the time to make love. Leaves a trace of love for every hotel you visit.

"No need. On schedule. I can't wait to go to Cappadocia. It's my dream, baby." Puput chuckled while rubbing the hair of Rama who leaned his chin on his shoulder.

Rama and Puput check out after breakfast. This time Yosa managed to be persuaded to take breakfast together after yesterday-yesterday refused because of condolence.

"You've been living in Turkey for a long time?" On the sidelines of breakfast together, Rama familiarized himself to students who work freelance as a tour guide.

"If smooth, one more year finished S1, Mas. I want ajuin scholarship S2, so I can continue here without breaking first." The driver was full of hope. He comes from a simple family, but rich in dreams. Be with a scholarship, he could continue to study in a country famous for the great hero of Islam named Muhammad Al Fatih.

"Good luck's. I am happy with a young man who dares to dream and work hard. If you want to work in the country, my company is ready to accept you. Save these. Because it's like a wildcard. You can be accepted without selection. Just by showing this, the HRD will immediately give you a position." Rama gave a special business card that was rarely issued.

"Alhamdulillah. Thank you so much, Mom." Yosa held the business card with her face.

After breakfast, the journey continues to Cappadocia through the city of Konya. In Konya will visit the Mevlana Museum first.

"Mevlana museum is a place of Sufi Islamic teachings. Began to be introduced in Turkey by an important Sufi figure named Jalaludin Rumi." Yosa said as soon as he set foot in the historic place.

"I became imagined Sufi dance that swirling. It was created by Jalaludin Rumi, right?!" Puput turned to Yosa to confirm the truth.

Yosa nodded. "The Sufi dance was created as a form of expression of love and affection to the Creator and to the perfect figure of the Prophet Muhammad SAW."

"Rubber is called the death reminder dance because of the attribute philosophy to the movements that symbolize death. Not just dancing, during the spinning movement, the dancer continues to recite. The key to not getting dizzy is calm and focus."Yosa Pungkas.

Rama and Puput mangosteen understand. In addition to the tombs of Jalaludin Rumi and his father, there are also the tombs of several other Sufi figures.

Satisfied around the city of Konya, which also stopped at Sultanhan Caravanserai. Where this building used to be is like a hotel. It has a horse parking area, kitchen, mushola, and rooms.

In the afternoon, arrive in Cappadocia.

"Welcome to Cappadocia, Ladies and gentlemen. Enjoy a unique and romantic view. Do not forget to ride a hot air balloon early in the morning to see the unique view of Cappadocia from above. " Tempta Yosa while driving up to the hotel lobby.

Luput smiled with a blushing face at once happy. Cappadocia is no longer a dream but has actually set in a region famous for its beautiful valleys.

Entering the hotel room, Puput immediately went to the window. Here, the two will stay for two nights before returning to Istanbul.

Rama smiled mesem saw his own frenzied Puput like a child.

"Honey, I'm seeing a photocopian Ami see you now." Rama sat back on the sofa with a heavy lift.

"Biarin." The pupil puffs out the tongue while joining it sitting on the same sofa.

"Oh, I don't think I can sleep tonight. Wanted to rush up in the morning in a hot air balloon." Puput biting lips while hugging the sofa cushion with anxiety.

"Quiet..emang Aa will make Neng stay up late." Rama was comfortable calling himself Aa. He smiled as he grabbed the sofa cushion in the arms of Puput. Then he put his head on his wife's thigh.

"What's not to be bored every night. A day off, right? Tomorrow will be here too." Tawar Puput's.

"Where is the word bosen. There are even nibih. Everything you've got on you is savory and delicious." Rama complained because Puput pinched his waist hard.

"Honey, it should be in a hot air balloon. Let it work." Rama started again on his perverted mode.

"Gosh, Aa. Want to make the film title 'Swagging Air Balloons'. Will be watched live the same as all the other air balloon residents, so?!" Anxiously, Puput squeezed Rama's laughing nose loose.

...***...

The morning is over through a long cool night with the union of two bodies. After dawn prayers immediately go to the hot air balloon ride. Yosa was on time to pick up at the hotel at five in the morning.

"MasyaAllah, so beautiful!" Screech the Escape as soon as the hot air balloon starts to float. You can see the exotic landscape of the valley. See the reliefs of nature formed due to the former volcanic eruptions.

Do not forget to capture by taking a selfie against the background of the sunrise between the formation of valleys and rocks. So exotic. This autumn is a good time to enjoy the view from the hot air balloon. With a dollar ticket of 2.8 million per person, it includes a breakfast package. Two romantic breakfasts while contented floated in the air in the duration of an hour.

It's not just a hot air balloon in Cappadocia. Rama and Puput were invited to explore the Basin of Pasabag Valley and Devrent Valley. Where in this valley can find rocks that resemble native living things.

The seven-day, six-night honeymoon tour ended in Istanbul again after coming from Cappadocia to Ankara, the Turkish capital and the city of Bolu.

Bolu is the area where Yedigoller National Park is located.

This autumn, in Yedigoller Park, Rama and Puput are spoiled for Turkish beauty with their beautiful nature turning yellow orange.

"Yosa, thank you for accompanying us this week." Rama said goodbye at the airport. A number of dollar sheet tip money was pinned in the hands of the agile Indonesian youth.

"Sama-sama, Mas and Ma'am. I also thank you for the daily meal and snack." Yosa sincerely said. Rarely drive a loyal and low profile tourist like this couple. Those who refuse to be called Mr and Mrs or Mr and Mother.

"If you come back here next year, don't forget my email. I'm ready to escort Mr and Mrs." Yosa was in a respectful manner with a slight bowing of her back, crossing one hand across her chest.

"When it's three." Sahut Rama while summarizing the shoulders of the Puput. Making Yosa smile mesem while giving a thumbs up.

In Istanbul, Rama and Puput did not miss the Bosphorus Cruise, sailing in the Bosphorus strait which became the gateway to the two continents. Turkey is part of Europe and Turkey part of Asia.

Hagia Sophia, which has a phase of the history of its function as a Cathedral, became a Mosque, then became a Museum in the Kemal Ataturk period, and now a Mosque again, and now a Mosque, also visited by Rama and Puput while performing prayers there.

There are still many iconic places rich in civilization in Istanbul that Rama and Puput explore. Each place gives its own and different impression. Don't forget to shop at the Grand Bazaar.

Still feel at home actually. But the time to return to the land has come. Farewell to the guide ended with a wave of hands.

Good bye Turkiye.
