Alp'ler [soldiers]

Part 20: cherished

Boran's pov:
Gonca hatun told me Bala hatun will ask is bey about our wedding...I don't know why but I was nervous as in really nervous...
What if Osman bey refuses? What if Bala hatun forgets to tell him? What if some sort of alien invasion hits the earth and make us forget everything? [Astagfirullah]
"Boran..goktug...konur" cerkutay'alp came into the tent, snapping me out of my thoughts
"What happened cerkutay'alp?" asked goktug
"Bey has called for us in his tent"
..............
Osman bey informed us that he wants us to accompany him to sultan Masud's palace...
Bala's pov:
"Bala'um!" said Osman bey as he entered the tent. "Osman'um!!"
"Bey'um you must be parched...Let me get the table ready" I said and was about to leave when Osman bey held my arm and said
"Bala...I need to tell you something!"
"Sultan Masud wants me to come to Konya," he said
This news did take me under-guard but I kept firm and asked "when will you leave bey?"
"In a few days Insha Allah"
"I want to attend Ali and gonca's wedding before I leave....are the preparations ready?" he asked
I bit my lip and hesitate to make contact with his eyes
"Something wrong my Bala?"
"Bey'um....forgive me...I should be more careful in these kinds of matters....bey I found out.....gonca likes......someone else!"
Osman bey asked "kim? (who)
"Boran Alp...." I said
He smiled at first thinking about boran getting married then he turned to me and asked "does.....ah....ali know?"
"Bey...yes he does but he's okay with it...he says he'll make sabr for it..." I said
"Good...so the shy-old boran finally found someone he likes, huh?!" he said, chuckling.

Gonca's pov:
I was anxiously waiting for Bala to tell me what is Osman bey said.
"Gonca...." I heard Bala
"Yes! Tell me now" I asked her, holding her hand
"Osman bey'um accepted your wedding," she said
I couldn't believe what I was hearing
"Really!?"
Bala nodded and said, "may Allah always keep you two happy!" said Bala.
"Ameen Bala Ameen"
"So....don't you think you have to tell this news to someone?" eyed Bala, mischievously
"Boran.....he'll be so happy to hear this" I ran out of my tent
I saw boran Alp by the stables, talking to his honey brown horse and combing his mane. I snuck up behind the stables "do you think is Osman bey will accept the proposal?" he asked his horse.
"Maybe do you really like her?" I deepened my voice and surprisingly boran thought the horse spoke and he didn't find it weird...
"I love her....more than I love myself....she's so pretty and kind. No way someone like her-.......wait....d...did you..u just 'talk'?" he asked his eye's widening
I came out, bursting into laughter
"G...gon...ca!?" he stuttered, his face turning as red as a beetroot...
"You actually thought the horse talked?" I asked him
"N....no...no I was.....I was talking to myself....."
"Of course you were" I playfully rolled my eyes at him
"Anyways Osman bey said yes to our wedding," I said in an enthusiastic tone
"Really?!!" he asked and took a step forward.
"Evet.."
Boran smiled sheepishly before turning to me "did.....you hear....everything I said?"
I nodded 'yes' in response
"It was adorable boran...I love u too"
He then says
"Wanna go for a ride!"
"Sure...just as long as you talk to me and not to your horse"
"Hahaha very funny gonca'um," he said with sarcasm
"It is funny boran'um," I Said in the same tone as he did
We got on our horses and trailed off

Aoasalam u alikum
Wait till the next chapter insha Allah... A new character is coming up.....and she has something to do with boran...... Comment below who you think will come? And how will she relate with boran Alp.....
Moreover, I think the story needs a little drama, don't you think?.....
I have some ideas....but comment down below what should I do next.....?
One more thing.....I need some girls names starting with 'B'
I'm thinking about Bisma or Barrera? Which one is better

JazzkAllah Khair

Hadith of the day
Sahih Bukhari - 1224

کتاب:کتاب سجدہ سھو کا بیان

باب:اگر چار رکعت نماز میں پہلا قعدہ نہ کرے اور بھولے سے اٹھ کھڑا ہو تو سجدہ سہو کرے

ARABIC:
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ابْنِ بُحَيْنَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ , أَنَّهُ قَالَ : صَلَّى لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ مِنْ بَعْضِ الصَّلَوَاتِ ، ثُمَّ قَامَ فَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ فَقَامَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ وَنَظَرْنَا تَسْلِيمَهُ كَبَّرَ قَبْلَ التَّسْلِيمِ ، فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ .

TRANSLATION:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Buhaina: Allah's Apostle once led us in a prayer and offered two rak'at and got up (for the third rak'a) without sitting (after the second rak'a). The people also got up with him, and when he was about to finish his prayer, we waited for him to finish the prayer with Taslim but he said Takbir before Taslim and performed two prostrations while sitting and then finished the prayer with Taslim.
