The project aims to highlight family values and reveal the talents of married women. The focus is on Aijarkyn Timurlanova, who lives in the village of Kichi-Örüktü in the Issyk-Kul region.
Aijarkyn was born in 1999 in the village of Oi-Tal, located in the Tyup district of the Issyk-Kul region. "I currently live in Kichi-Örüktü, having married in a neighboring village. At the moment, I am on maternity leave and taking care of my father-in-law and mother-in-law," she shares.
Her husband, Talant Orozaliev, is a graduate of the Muratala Kurunkeeva Conservatory and works as a chamber singer and teacher, as well as leading the village club.
After graduating from Bishkek State Architectural University, Aijarkyn became an architect-designer. "I got married at 20. My husband and I are from neighboring villages and have known each other since childhood. Social media helped us stay in touch, and later, during our studies, we dated for five years. In August 2019, he proposed to me with a red rose and a gold ring. Later, he sent matchmakers, put earrings on me, and on October 19, 2019, we had a grand wedding in our village. Marriage has brought many funny moments; for example, once I cooked food that was too salty, and, ashamed to admit it to my mother-in-law, I said it was his fault," she recalls with a smile.
Among the significant events in her life is the birth of her daughter: "When she was born, my husband was so nervous that he could hardly take her from the doctor. He was incredibly happy that we had a girl. At that time, we were studying, and a taxi brought us home from the maternity hospital. My husband took care of me while I was recovering," Aijarkyn recounts.
She also shared her hobbies and dreams: "In my free time, I work as a cook. While on maternity leave, I fell in love with cooking and delved into it. For over four years, I have been going to celebrations (toi), charging 350 soms per person, and creating video blogs. It is important for me to spend more time with my children. My husband and I love going to the shores of Issyk-Kul and singing together; he does it very well," Aijarkyn added.
She plans to become a "Baatur Ene" (Heroine Mother), be a worthy wife, open her own café, and become a chef.
