Kurulus Osman: childhood

#8 - 👫 pranksters 👫

A week later
"MAHNOOR! GOKTUG!" osman yelled as he stormed out of the marquee. The two six-year-olds snickered as they saw osman soaking from head to toe. "Ooh osman, what happened?" boran asked as he walked to him. "Mahnoor and goktug happened" osman shifted his wet hair to the side. "They pranked you good" konur and boran snickered. "Hmm....well, they messed with the wrong person,"

...................................................
"Boran! I'm telling you, Mahnoor and goktug are on to you!" osman stated. "Come on osman they'd been missing all day! No one knows where they are hiding" boran protests. "I'm telling you, brother, the next victim is it's either you or konur"
"yeah yeah we'll see what happens!" boran ignored Osman's warning and went on with his day.

....................................

"Boran! You won't believe what I saw today!" goktug rushed to the point where boran was. "What?" boran asked, curiously, "a flying horse [😁]" he announced. "Come on goktug, stop lying brother I know it's not true"
"Yes, it is.....gunduz abi says so" [of course he's gunduz]
"come on follow me" goktug tugged his hand and made him follow.
The two of them made it to a cave in a forest, where Mahnoor was hiding with her feline friend, behlil.

"Where's the flying horse, goktug?" boran asked, crossing his eyebrow. Goktug signalled mahnoor who immediately took the cat out. 'Meow' it went, making boran widen his eyes,

he started sneezing without stopping because what goktug and Mahnoor didn't know the only reason he didn't like cats was because he was allergic to them.

After a while of continuous coughing and sneezing, goktug implored "Boran kardes are you okay?", placing his hand on his shoulder. But As the cat drew closer, so did his allergies. Boran was turning as red as a tomato, goktug knew his prank back-fired but he also knew he needed to take boran out before he explodes from his allergies if that was even possible. "Choo go on get!" goktug took the coughing boy out of the cave so he could breathe in properly.

"Sorry boran, I didn't know you were allergic to cats" goktug apologised, looking shameful. It took some time for boran to get better and as soon as he did they heard someone coming closer to them.

They heard twigs and small branches being stepped on. Goktug and boran of course didn't have any weapons, all they had were their tiny wooden swords, the two of them clenched on their swords as the sounds drew closer.
A woman in a cloak appeared into the scene, she had pretty brown eyes and she looked like a Turk by the clothes she was wearing. "Who are you?" boran asked, trying to sound tough but ended up miserably because he started coughing again due to felines surrounding the area. The woman took her cloak off, revealing more to her face. "Ana'um!" they heard Mahnoor creak from behind.

The two boys turned around and saw Mahnoor gazing at the woman, happily. "She's your mother?" the two asked in unison. "Mahnoor'um!" the lady stretched her arms to hug Mahnoor, "ana'um!"
After the two of them pulled apart, the noblewoman eyed goktug and boran who seemed to be as confused as ever.
"Who are these boys, Mahnoor?" implored the woman. "That's goktug and he's boran!" Mahnoor introduced them as they waved at the woman and smiled at her sheepishly. "They're my friends!" Mahnoor continued. "Well in that case, we should take care of them, " the lady smiled at the boys and took them to her cave/house or whatever.

"You live here!" goktug exclaimed, looking around the cave that was decorated with all kinds of embellishments.
"Yes, we do!" Mahnoor answered, proudly. "It's so cool!" yelled the boys, with enthusiasm. "Here use this boran! This will help you inhale properly" the lady gave boran a powdered antidote. "Thank you uh......what's your name?" boran asked, sheepishly. "I don't actually have a name.....but you dears can call me ana" she began. "What? who doesn't have a name?" goktug asked, "well I think I used to have a name, but I lost my memory and ever since then I don't remember anything" the woman said in dismay,

goktug and boran gazed at each other, out of sympathy towards the lady. "Don't worry ana we'll get ertagrul bey to help you" boran placed his hand on the woman's and smiled at her. "Ertagrul bey....?" she repeated, the name did sound a bit familiar but she couldn't point where she had heard it. "Yes we'll get turgut bey too....." yakked goktug. "T....Turgut!" she murmured, also finding the name to her identification yet not being able to figure out who does the name belong to. "Evet he's really kind, he was the one who saved me" Mahnoor began. "Is he now? Well we should thank him for saving you, should we not?" asked the lady, smiling at the kids.
