Next day, I was in my room. I haven't seen Defne since last day, I was confused where she was, but I didn't care about it a lot. I wanted to see Bayezid, but they told me he has a lot of state jobs, so I stayed in my room instead.
I was bored all the time and I didn't know what should I do. At one moment, Defne came into room. She was fully dressed and she had a lot of jewerly on herself.
I looked at her only but I didn't care enough to ask her. She came into room with a wide smile. She seemed really happy and I was really interested why was all that.
- I spent a night with Bayezid. I was on havlet. You see you arent so important to him, when he called me yesterday. - she said me with a proud smile. I felt such a disappointment at that time. I knew I shouldn't trust Bayezid. I was more dissapointed than angry.
- Great for you. - I fake smiled her trying to hid all my emotions which were inside me. I knew I shouldn't show her a jealous.
Cevri Kalfa came after Defne Hatun in our room.
- Nadia Hatun, prepare yourself. Prince called you tonight. - she told me as she seemed really happily for me. For all suspicion in me, now she seemed she likes me. I was really confused. Something was weird to me.
- Tell him I don't want to go. - I told her with a fake smile, trying to act cool but I barely could keep my emotions inside me anymore.
- That's impossible. Are you crazy? What should I tell him? - she asked me totally confused about my answer.
- Tell him he can call Defne again, he surely likes to spend time with her, so why not one more night? - I smiled at her then at Defne which was really confused about what is happening.
- Prince will be very mad, Nadia. - she said looking at me disappointedly.
- I don't care. - I smiled at her.
Cevri left our room shocked. But I didn't want to go. If he lied to me that he has a lot of state jobs, and spent night with Defne last night, he can do the same again. I wont tollerate this. It didn't matter to me that he is a prince. I was ready to pick up my things and run away from harem.
In meantime
- Come. - Prince Bayezid said as someone knocked on the doors of his chambers. He excepted Nadia Hatun to come inside his chambers.
- Prince. - Cevri Kalfa bowed as she was looking at the floor.
- Cevri, where is Nadia? - Bayezid asked surprisedly Cevri, because he didn't except to see her.
- Nadia Hatun told she doesn't want to come here. - Cevri said as she was embarassed to say this to a Prince.
- What should that mean? - Bayezid asked her angrily. He didn't except someone would reject his orders.
- She said you can call Defne Hatun again, as you surely like to spend time with her. - Cevri said while she was looking at the floor.
At that moment, Bayezid angrily left his chambers.
Back to Nadia
I was sitting in my room. I was reading some interesting book which Cevri gave me. Defne was playing with her hair the whole time.
At that moment, somebody opened the doors so angrily, that I scared. I saw Bayezid really angry on the doors.
- Defne, leave right now. - he said as he was looking at me the whole time.
Defne bowed and left our room. I stood up and bowed him as I was scared at that moment from his angry reaction. He was looking at me with an agression in his eyes.
- How can you reject my order? What should mean that you dont want to come?! - he asked me as he was stepping closer towards me.
- You heard well. As everyone lied me last night you have to do a lot of state jobs, but instead you were with Defne. - I told him showing him how disappointed I am in his acts.
- It's my duty to do it. I must have heirs. How you can't understand that Nadia? - he asked me as he was stepping more angry to me.
- You promised me no other women, and already at my second day in harem you went with another one. - I raised my head in front of him which got him crazy.
- Nadia. This is harem. You know really well traditions of harem. I dont do it because I want to, but because its my duty. - he told me.
- Maybe I am stupid because I trusted you. I had a chance to go with my brothers in Russia. If I accepted it at that moment, they would have been alive and I wouldn't have to be here with you. - I told him and couldn't hide my emotions anymore.
- So you dont want to be here with me? - he asked me in disappointedly angrily tone.
- I would want to be here with you if you had no another woman. I am telling you this for last time. You can chose, other women or me. - I told him as I raised my head.
I trurly mean everything what I said. I won't let myself be like all other women here and tollerate his stupid acts. Either he will be only mine, or I won't be here anymore.
- Nadia. You can't act like this. - he told me with a bit less angrily tone. He came so close to me that our bodies were touching.
- Bayezid. I told you that already a lot of times. If you want to be with Defne, you can be with her. But then, don't you ever again call me or talk to me. Dont ever again think about me. Forget that I exist then. And I will do same about you. - I told him as I looked him straight into eyes.
- Nadia. I would kill for you. I fell in love with you so fast, like I have never ever did in my life. You are only woman I want. I promise you, from now on, no other woman than you will come into my chambers. - he said with a calm tone this time.
- I dont know if I can believe you anymore after all your lies. - I looked at floor sadly. He saw sadness in my eyes. He putted his hand on my chin and raised my face.
- I don't want you to see sad anymore. You can trust me from now on. I promise there won't be lies between us anymore. - he told me as he tried to make me happy now.
- How could I believe you now? - I asked him.
- I promise you with my life. - he said as he leaned towards me and kissed me deeply.
