38th Chapter
" Haci-aga, I don't want that girl Nefise to stay in Harem for long time. Please do whatever is important." I said to Haci as I was already crazy at the mention of a present for Murad.
I couldn't see him near another woman, and as he promised he shouldn't do that. If he even dares to do it, he will get what he deserves.
" Sultana, she is Atike Sultana's gift. We can't just throw her off the Palace, we need to make a good plan to get rid of her." Haci said to me.
" Then we will do whatever is important to get rid of her." I said to him.
" To get rid of who, Valide?" Ismihan Kaya asked me as she came outside of her chambers which were inside mines.
" No one my dear, come here." I changed the topic and called her to sit next to me. She turned 12 years old and she was my beautiful and smart Sultana. She was the same age as my lion Selim.
" Valide, is it that Nefise girl who came with Atike?" Ismihan asked me with her eyebrows raised.
" Ismihan, no. Please let's change that subject." I said to her and tried to make her forget about that.
She looked at me with her big brown eyes just like she looked at Murad when she wanted to get something she couldn’t get that easy. She knew we are weak on things like this and that's why she has been doing it.
" You are too young Ismihan to mix into those things, my love. You should still care about your studies and not into Harem jobs." I said to her as I putted my hand on her face.
" I don't want to see you sad, Valide. I will do whatever is needed for you to be happy." Ismihan said to me sadly.
" If you want me to be happy then stay away from those dramas, fine?" I asked her and she nodded me affirmatevly.
" Mihrişah." Nefise came into my chambers without asking permission and without bowing and she came to stand in front of me.
I placed my coffee on the table as I wasn't excepting her to come into my chambers with such a disrespect.
" You should ask for permission if you want to come inside my chambers, you know?" I said to her seriously and raised my eyebrows.
" It is important, our Sultan fainted now. I was with him, and I didn't know who to tell so I came to you." Nefise said to me and I stood up immediatley.
I signalised Haci to take Ismihan Kaya to her chambers while I went to Murad's chambers. The thing that was going across my mind was why was she with Murad.
" Why have you been with Murad?" I asked her upset as we were walking through the Golden Way to his chambers.
" He called for me last night, but now he just fainted and he isn't fine." Nefise said to me and she sounded proud for her words.
I was crazy on Murad because what he has done, but I wanted him to be fine. I was worried if she has done anything.
" Sultana, we shouldn't go to his chambers because he wasn't there. We must go to his hammam. He fainted there." Nefise said to me and she confused me a lot.
I was afraid because none of my servants were following me. We entered the doors of Hammam and I walked around to see where Murad is. But I couldn't find Murad.
At that moment I could hear Nefise lock the doors of Hammam so no one could enter inside.
"What are you doing? What kind of trap did you make to me?" I yelled on her as I was upset about what happened.
" Atike Sultana sends her regards." Nefise said and took knife she had in her dress.
She started walking closer to me. I was really afraid for my life this time because I knew there is no one to help me.
She came closer to me and I was shaking from fear that my life would be done because of Atike's trap.
She raised her knife to show me, but instead of stabbing me, she stabbed herself with a knife, and she just fell down on the floor.
I couldn't help myself but scream because I couldn't look at her killing herself in front of me. This was a trap to make me against Murad.
I started beating on the doors for someone to hear me. I was afraid as I was never in my life that I will be found guilty for this, even though I have done nothing.
" Mihrişah! What have you done?" Murad yelled on me when he ran to hammam and saw Nefise's dead body laying down on the floor.
"Murad, she made me a trap. She stabbed herself with a knife because she wanted to make it look like I did it." I said to him as I couldn't stop crying and I ran to his hug, but he turned his back to me so I couldn't hug him.
"Murderer, don't touch me with your bloody hands." Murad yelled angrily on me.
" I have done nothing Murad, they set up a trap for me. She said to me that she was on havlet with you and you fainted and she called me with herself." I said to him as I was really afraid now.
" And of course you believed her because you were crazy jealous at mention of me with another women? I promised you there will be no another women in my life beside you and you still make incidents." Murad yelled on me.
" I didn't even care about that at that moment, when she told me that you fainted and that you are bad I went immediatley. I was so afraid for you, Murad. I was scared if something bad happened to you." I said to him as I tried to prove I have done nothing wrong this time.
" Mihrişah. I swear that if you are lying to me this time, I will punish you with your life." Murad yelled on me angrily and he looked like he is about to explode on me this time.
" I swear to you with life of our children that I have done nothing to her. They set us a trap. Atike did it." I said to him as I was sobbing.
Murad just sighed and ordered his servants to remove the body from his Hammam, and he went with me inside his chambers.
He was nervously walking around the chambers while I was standing there afraid of him and his reaction. He knew I would never swear with life of my children.
" Why is there someone who tries to distant us and make only trouble to us?" Murad said as he was quite nervous.
" You know well who is doing that, and you never do anything to her because she is your sister." I said to Murad and sighed.
He should have punished Atike long time ago when she putted my sons in burning house and wanted to kill them, but he never punished her for that.
" I can't kill my sister. I killed Ibrahim and Valide Kosem in front of her eyes. I thought with time she will get some brain, but obviously she doesn't." Murad said as he continued to walk around the chambers.
" Murad." I came closer to him and stopped him in the walk. I took his hand and looked at him deep in the eyes.
He looked at me in silence, he just looked at my eyes and he said nothing to me.
" You don't know how hurt I felt when you thought I would do something bad like this to someine." I said to him and looked at another way sadly.
" I know you would never do something like this, but what could I think when I saw you standing in fro t of her dead body?" Murad asked me. He calmed down now.
" I know what you meant. Even if she was on havlet with you, I would never do anything bad to her. The pain would only kill me." I said to him with a sad face expression.
" I swear to you that I will never in my life touch another woman that is not you. I swear to you that I will never even look at another woman. You are the only one who exists to me." Murad said and kissed my forehead making me feel better now.
" I wanted to tell you important news, but I didn't have any chance to do it." Murad said as he sat on the throne and I sat next to him. He seemed really serious about that.
" I decided that my sons will go to Sanjaks. They must learn how to rule a state, because one of them will one day become future Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. They need to practise." Murad said to me.
" But, Murad. They are still so young." I said to him as I didn't like the idea of Sanjak.
I didn't want my sons to go to Sanjak because that would mean they would be far away from me. And second reason was because I didn't want to leave the Palace to go in Sanjak. If I had to go, I could be in Sanjak with only one of my sons, and then other ones would still be far away from me.
" They need practise, they will get what they need for their studies there." Murad said and gave me a slight smile trying to make me like that idea.
" Selim is just twelve years old. Suleyman and Mehmed are even younger. How can they go so far away? How can I go with all of them?" I asked him because I wanted to know what his plans for Sanjak are.
" They will get their tutors there and we will send people we trust. We won’t send them far away in those Sanjaks who are far away, but in those close to the Istanbul." Murad said but nothing of these made me feel even at bit better.
" And which one I will have to go with?" I asked Murad as I was really sad because I knew when he decides something, he barely could change his opinion.
" Would you like to go with one?" Murad asked me.
" I wish I could stay with you, our daughters and Ahmed in Palace. Ahmed is still a baby he needs me with himself. I don't want to separate from you and children." I said to him and acted like I am sad on purpose.
" I don't want to be far away from you too, my Mihrişah. You will stay with me here. You don't know how my life would be sad without you." Murad said and kissed my forehead.
" But I am afraid for Selim, Suleyman and Mehmed. I trust no one when there is question of life of my children. I don't want them to go yet." I said to him.
" They won't go now, but will soon when we find it suitable." Murad said and gave slight smile.
