The goal of the project is to emphasize the importance of family values and showcase the talents of married women. Today, we present Janara Mirlan kyzy, a resident of Toktogul.
She was born on January 21, 2003, in the village of Kara-Küngöy [Kara-Kunjoy], Toktogul district, Jalal-Abad region. Janara has two older brothers and two younger sisters in her family. She received her secondary education at school No. 16 named after Sultan Nurmanbetov in the village of Ak-Tektir.
At the age of 19, Janara married Nurbolot Chokoev, who is 9 years older than her and also from the village of Ak-Tektir. "We met through a friend. When we started communicating, he always spoke from the car. One day I jokingly asked, 'Why don’t you have a connection at home?' — he laughed and replied, 'I’m embarrassed in front of my parents.' It turned out that the connection was poor in his area, and he had to find high places to talk," she shares.
Our communication lasted only 10–15 days, and at our first meeting, he said, 'I will steal you away.' I didn’t agree and told my parents. Later, both families met, discussed it, and a month later we had our wedding. They say that people from Toktogul don’t let good girls go," says Janara.
According to her, there was no traditional matchmaking before the wedding. "But his determination and simplicity helped create our happy family. Life is never without difficulties. When I was expecting our second daughter, we moved to Russia for about 6 months during the pregnancy. It wasn’t easy," she shares.
"I thought I would give birth in a hospital like everyone else, but fate had other plans. When the doctor said that there were 15 days left until delivery, I wasn’t worried. I went to the store, bought things for the baby, made dinner, and went to bed. Suddenly, I woke up from sharp pain. I realized that labor had started and asked my husband to call an ambulance. As I was getting dressed, I realized that the baby was already coming out. I shouted to my husband, 'Catch the baby!' and he panicked and replied, 'Hold on, we’ll wait for the ambulance.' A few minutes later, my daughter was born. My husband cut the umbilical cord himself. She was born alive and healthy. Later, in the hospital, she was placed in intensive care. Thus, in Russia, I gave birth at home. We understood that challenges must be overcome with patience and faith," she recounted.
Now, looking back, Janara realizes that it was an unforgettable experience. "After my daughter turned 40 days old, I returned to Kyrgyzstan alone with two little ones. My husband came after 3–4 months. Thank God, that’s behind us. We have a happy family, and a full life with two daughters is my greatest success. In my free time, I engage in handicrafts, cook various dishes, and create content for my social media," she concludes.
