Alp'ler [soldiers]

Part 15: his sultana

Gonca's pov: just after Fajr prayer, I set out to the river where Boran said to come. I was so excited to meet Boran that even though my horse was running to its fullest yet I still thought it was too slow. I just hope I'm not too early.
And it turns out I wasn't. Boran was already there.
I got off my horse and went straight to him, my face plastered with a smile. "Aoasalam u alikum Boran!" I Said excitedly.
"Walikum salam........you look beautiful gonca hatun....."
"Not....... that you didn't look before ........but you know ......" gulped Boran, turning red...
I laughed at how nervous Boran was to meet me.
"Boran I'm no sultana that you are so nervous to meet," I Said.
He dreamily looked at me and said "you are my sultana gonca hatun" which made me blushed. Boran sharply looked away from me and turned bright red
"I got your gift last night," I Said.
"You did?!!" He asked, perking up.
"Yeah it was really beautiful Boran"
"So to make up to you......I also got you something" I Said as I took a bag out of my horse's side pocket.
I gave the bag to boran who opened it up
He took AN arrow out.
"An arrow"
"Yes for the best archer I know," I Said.
Boran seemed confused "who?!!" he asked
"You!" I Said. "me!?"
"Of course"
"Thank you gonca hatun"

Bala's pov: at noon I went to see Aaliya in her tent. "Aoasalam u alikum aaliya'um"
"Walikum salam abla"
"Have you seen Ali anywhere?!!" I asked when I couldn't find Ali anywhere
"No.....I think he's still in his tent"
"Strange.......I'll go see him" I was about to leave when Aaliya held my arm, trying to stop me.
She had a little pinkish tone in her cheeks.
"Abla I wanted to ask you something!! Do you know who konur alp is?" She asked
I couldn't help but snigger
"Yes konur alp, he's one of Osman bey's most devoted alps......Ertagurl bey rescued him from the slave bazaar after the raid in his tribe. Ertagurl didn't know he had a brother, konur alp spent his whole life looking for his brother Gogtuk and once he found him, he found that he was a Mongol Commander.......that's a whole different story but long story short konur alp helped Gogtuk revert after that Osman bey sent konur as a spy to inagol......everyone apart from me and Gunduz abi thought he was dead until Boran alp and Gogtuk alp helped him conquer kaluchisar"
"HE was one of the brave three who helped Osman bey conquer kaluchisar?" Asked Aaliya unbelievably with wide eyes
I nodded 'yes' in response
"Why do you ask? Is there ANY PARTICULAR reason why?!" I Asked mischievously
"N...naaoo........of course not abla.........weren't you going to see ali?!" She Said and pushed me out of her tent

Gogtuk's pov:
I was having my regular walks around the tribe when Aaliya hatun came across me.
"you are Gogtuk alp, right? Konur alp's brother?"
"Yes I am"
"Is He your Biological brother or ...."
"He's my biological brother.......thank you very much" I discontinued her and said in a very serious manner
"I was just wondering..........is he married I mean is he?!!!"
Now I get it she's asking these weird questions because she wants to know if abi is married or not
"No, he's not married"
"Good... I mean uhh.....who would wanna marry him, right?" she said, half laughingly

.......
At the alps tent
.......
"Abi guess what?!" I Said in a very cheerful tone.
Konur was reading a book
"Unless dumrul pushed Ayaz in a trench again, I'm not interested," Said konur, not even looking up.
"Not that.......Aaliya hatun She asked about you!"
Konur abi perked up and said "she did? ....Not ...that I care ......." of course you don't abi
"She asked me if you are married or not!" I Said, smirkingly.

Aoasalam u alikum
I'm thinking about beginning Gogtuk or cerkutay's story

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ ، عَنْ زَكَرِيَّاءَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ صَيْفِيٍّ ، عَنْ أَبِي مَعْبَدٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ،    أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ مُعَاذًا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ , فَقَالَ : ادْعُهُمْ إِلَى شَهَادَةِ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ , وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ، فَإِنْ هُمْ أَطَاعُوا لِذَلِكَ فَأَعْلِمْهُمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدِ افْتَرَضَ عَلَيْهِمْ خَمْسَ صَلَوَاتٍ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ ، فَإِنْ هُمْ أَطَاعُوا لِذَلِكَ فَأَعْلِمْهُمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ افْتَرَضَ عَلَيْهِمْ صَدَقَةً فِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ تُؤْخَذُ مِنْ أَغْنِيَائِهِمْ وَتُرَدُّ عَلَى فُقَرَائِهِمْ    .

TRANSLATION:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet (saws) sent Mu'adh to Yemen and said,   Invite the people to testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and I am Allah's Apostle, and if they obey you to do so, then teach them that Allah has enjoined on them five prayers in every day and night (in twenty-four hours), and if they obey you to do so, then teach them that Allah has made it obligatory for them to pay the Zakat from their property and it is to be taken from the wealthy among them and given to the poor.
