CHAPTER 21
"Sultanim, congradulations. You made a brilliant plan but you finally have opportunity to be happy," Hurrem said to me as I was in my chambers and she came to visit me.
"I still can't believe Suleiman allowed me to do this," I said as I was still under a shock but in a good way. After everything that happened I was finally allowed to marry a man I want with my whole heart.
"He finally realised what he has done and I am glad for it. I heard Valide Sultana has recovered, have you visited her?" Hurrem asked me but I still didn't. I didn't want to shock her one more time as she wouldn't accept that I would marry Osman and not Malkocoglu.
"I will, but she will get another shock when she hears the news," I said and my look turned when someone opened the doors.
Mahidevran came inside my chambers and bowed to me. She once again looked at Hurrem like she is a problem to her and hoped I would escort her and stay alone with Mahidevran but this wasn't the situation.
"Sultanim, I came here to talk with you if it's possible alone," Mahidevran said and looked at Hurrem with so much hate. They both hated eachother a lot and Mahidevran still couldn't admit she lost all the love of Suleiman and she was still ready to play dirty games against Hurrem.
"There is no need for that, just tell me what you have to say," I said to her while Hurrem and I were sitting on my couch and I knew she was hurt because I haven't said her to sit or anything else and she wouldn't do it without someone's permission.
"Then fine, however you want. But I have an ultimatum for you, so it would be better if yourself alone only hear for it," Mahidevran said being really serious and I knew in this moment she couldn't do any ultimatum to me anymore because she had nothing to say against me.
"Get on the thing," I said completely ignoring her wish for me to escort Hurrem.
"As you know Hatice Sultana isn't well and she threatens everyone about killing herself if something bad happens to Ibrahim. Now you are only one who can use her power and stop that," Mahidevran said.
"Why would I save a man who almost made me and my children dead and accused someone else because of it? Hatice's tears mean nothing to me after how much tears I cried and none of the family cared about them," I said to Mahidevran who was kinda surprised how I wouldn't want to help her, but I didn't have any reason to do it. Actually I was the first one who hoped Suleiman would punish Ibrahim after he has done.
"If you don't do what is in your power to save Ibrahim Pasha from beheading, I will tell to Sultan what Mustafa saw when Osman kissed you. I am sure your future husband Malkocoglu Bali Bey wouldn't like to hear that also," Mahidevran said and I couldn't help myself not to laugh on her words as she knew nothing about Suleiman's new decision. I was good to her in the last time just because I wanted to make Mustafa silent about what he saw but he obviously couldn't do it without telling it to his mother.
"If you haven't heard Mahidevran, Sultan allowed me to marry Osman. You know that if you even tell this to him it won't change his opinion, so you aren't in position to give me an ultimatum," I said fake smiling and seeing how her face went to proud to very surprised as she couldn't believe it. Hurrem just looked at me with a smile and Mahidevran was for sure feeling horrible in this moment.
"Sultan wouldn't want this if he knew you had some kind of relationship with him before the marriage. If my Mustafa says this to him he would believe him for sure," Mahidevran said trying to still stay strong but she won't be anymore because I was ready to tell Suleiman about her ultimatum. Everyone out them worked only to get Ibrahim out of dungeon and I wouldn't allow them to do it.
"You shouldn't mix your son into it. Maybe it would be better if you raise him and not only to care about people's lives," I said to her who was annoyed when I mentioned Mustafa, but I was also disappointed in his acts.
"I raised my son well as he trusts me and tells me everything, unlike you who doesn't even visit her mother now," Mahidevran said trying to not to show her hurtness over my words.
"If you don't have anything else to say please leave my chambers now," I said and she couldn't hide her disappointment in my behaviour towards her but someone had to be like this because since ever they were always around her and raised her ego to the sky.
Mahidevran left my chambers and Hurrem couldn't hide her happiness when she saw someone told Mahidevran what she deserves, because when Hurrem would do it whole family would be against her and they hated that I am in well relations with her. But she was mother of two princes and a sultana and they behaved like her like she is complete stranger in harem and someone who never does anything good.
"Sultanim, Osman Pasha will for sure want to be against Ibrahim Pasha now. I think this is ideal moment to get rid of him once and forever after everything he has done," Hurrem said as she was one of Ibrahim's worst enemies and ever since she came here she hated him and wanted to get rid of him. I never had anything strong against him but after he almost killed me and my children I couldn't not to be against him.
"I don't know, I haven't talked about Osman with this. But no matter what I am first standing here against Ibrahim and if Suleiman doesn't kill him then he doesn't use justice on which is he so proud of," I said as I took my last sip of coffee.
I knew I had to meet Hatice and I ordered Fehime to bring Beyhan and my children here because now the situation was more normal and they should be here next to me, their mother. I was already very much separated from them because of distance but I didn't want my children to look all those disgusting things happening in this palace.
"Valide, I see you are well now," I said when I entered Valide's chambers where she was together with Hatice and Gulfem. They couldn't separate from each other and it was like gossip party against anyone in Harem, they only missed Mahidevran now and then everyone would be here.
"Shame on you how you didn't came to see me earlier, you didn't even care for your mother who almost died," Valide said not wanting to even look at me but she only looked at Hatice who's face was so red after so much crying and she seemed like she's mentally exhausted.
"I came here now to tell you the news Sultan gave about my marriage as I guess you haven't heard it earlier," I said and smiled to her. She just rolled her eyes and Hatice looked at me full of anger.
"We know Sultanim that you will marry Malkocoglu Bali Bey, but I don't know why are you so happy about it?" Gulfem said to break embarrassing silence that came now.
"I won't marry Malkocoglu. Sultan allowed me to marry Osman Pasha and the wedding will be in two weeks. I hope you would like to congradulate me," I said and all three of them looked at me with shock. Valide seemed like she will collapse again after hearing this and she couldn't accept this fact.
"Suleiman would never allow this to happen. I won't accept this," Valide said dead serious to me as she didn't have any emotion on her face. I think it would be the same to her to talk with a random concubine or her own daughter.
"I don't care if you allow it, Sultan obviously didn't ask even for your opinion here so he decided it," I said and fake smiled to all of them. Hatice just suddenly got up and started walking towards me. She seemed like she is so sick after everything that happened.
"Who are you to talk about happy things when Ibrahim is innocent and he is in dungeon and you blamed him for those criminal acts. How can you be happy when those things are happening to us?" She asked me so slowly as she barely could talk from all the stress she suffered.
"Hatice, when I was sad you were also happy with Ibrahim and didn't even care to visit me. Why shouldn't I be happy now? I will be even happier when Suleiman punishes Ibrahim who almost killed me and my children," I said to her seriously and each my word made her even more and more angry. She was like complete stranger to me and I didn't care if I will hurt her.
She thought only on her own happiness and thought if she isn't happy that no one else should be happy. I wanted this marriage to be in the time when she is like this because enough time I suffered while they all were happy and didn't even bother about my emotions.
"Not even a hair will fall from Ibrahim's head, do you understand it? You did all this plan just to make me sad, but you won't be able. I swear to you if Ibrahim dies you won't be able to marry Osman," Hatice yelled on me but barely with any strength. When I looked into her eyes I saw she is completely lost.
"I don't care about your words Hatice. You won't keep him on life just because you threat with yourself killing, but we all know you would never do this because you are weak and do all of this to get attention on yourself," I said before leaving these chambers.
"Malkocoglu, what do you think what opinion should I give about Ibrahim's punishment?" Suleiman asked Malkocoglu as they were on his terrace from where they could see everything.
"Of course you know the best, Your Majesty, but he has done two horrible things. I think he deserves to be punished no matter what," Malkocoglu said as he didn't want to mix into Suleiman's decision, but everyone knew Ibrahim had to be punished for this.
Suleiman didn't know what he should do. He knew if he kills Ibrahim not only that he would lose his grand vizier and best friend, but also his sister Hatice who claimed she doesn't want to live without him. But on the other hand if he would let Ibrahim live he would let a traitor free who almost killed his another sister and his family. Suleiman knew whatever he does, always someone would be angry on him and not happy with his decisions.
"You will still continue to follow Fahriye. She played the dirty game to force me to marry her for Osman and she thinks I don't know about it. She on purpose did it and I can't handle anymore with her behaviour and I will let her marry him," Suleiman said as he sighed. He knew after Fahriye recovered quickly that she did it because of Osman, and he knew Hurrem is involved in this but he wanted to no one to know he knows about it.
"I tried many times to make her maid Fehime Hatun to tell the truth, but we couldn't have done it. She doesn't want to speak. One maid in Harem follows her secretly but she didn't say a lot of things, only that Fahriye Sultana fights with everyone who stands on her way," Malkocoglu said and Suleiman just sighed. He was nervous about the whole situation if he did right.
"I married her for him just because I feel that for my whole life I was never equal to her and Hatice," Suleiman said.
