I woke up in the infirmary with huge pains in my stomach. It was million times huger pain than during giving birth.
I saw my belly wrapped in bandages, and a lot of blood on those bandages. I saw Bayezid and Mihrimah are standing next to my bed looking at me really sadly.
Nurse was standing at the corner of the room. I was all lost about what happened, and when I saw those bandages and blood, I started to remember what happened.
- Aslihan, thank God you are fine. I prayed for you for those three days, I was so sad that I could lost you. - Bayezid said when he saw I woken up and came closer to me and kissed my forehead gentley.
- Three days? What? - I asked him really confused about everything. Last thing I remember was Fahriye attacking me with a knife, how three days could pass after that?
- You were attacked in the Harem. Bulbul-aga found you laying full in blood close to Murad's chambers. Thank God nurses saved you. You weren't awake for three days, I scared that I could lose you. - he said as he was touching my hand gentley.
- Thank God you are fine Aslihan, we all scared so much from you. - Mihrimah said as she looked much better when she saw I woke up finally.
- Unfornatley, I have sad news for you. Sultana, you were pregnant for maybe a month, but after the attack, you miscarried. I am so sorry. - Nurse said with her head bowed down.
- I was pregnant? - I asked Bayezid all confused because I had no idea about that. Hurrem Sultana did not only punish me, she also killed my unborn child which made me hate her even more.
- Unfornatley, but don't worry Aslihan. We have our beautiful children, and with God's help we will have even more children. - he said and kissed my forehead once again.
I was really sad because of that. The pain in my stomach didn't hurt me, my heart hurted me because of that poor unborn baby. It was all Hurrem's fault.
Mihrimah sat at the another side of my bed and she looked at my hand, when she stayed shocked.
- Aslihan, where is your ring? - Mihrimah asked me shocked that it is not on my hand. Bayezid was confused with that what happened.
- Hurrem Sultana took it. - I said to her in silent tone. I saw Bayezid's face expression changed really soon.
- Why did you gave it to her? It was my wedding gift for you. - Bayezid said to me shocked about my words.
- You really think that I would give it to her? After the ceremony in harem, I went to check Murad, but she followed me. There she started threatening me and she slapped me. Then Fahriye came and attacked me with a knife. They left me to lay there all in blood while Hurrem took her ring. - I said to Bayezid as my eyes were filled with tears about everything what happened.
- How dares she? - Bayezid got up from bed and he started being crazy. He was really angry on Hurrem because of that.
- Bayezid, our Valide was already threatening her during the party. - Mihrimah said to him in sadly tone.
- This is going to be her end. When our father Sultan finds out about this, he will have no other option than punish her. She deserves to be punished on worst possible way. - Bayezid said as he was walking around the chambers. He was really angry on Hurrem. I have never seen him being angry like this in his whole life.
Later that day, I had to visit the Sultan. It was hard for me to walk, but Bayezid helped me to walk. They offered me to stay and recover, but I wanted to do this alone with Sultan and Bayezid. Because I knew if Hurrem was also there, she would start to defend herself, and I didn't need that.
- Hunkarim. - I bowed to Suleyman as I walked in his chambers slowly, while Bayezid was holding me under my hand because it was hard for me to walk alone.
- How are you, Aslihan? Does it hurt you less now? - he asked me really scared because of me and what happened to me.
- I am better now, thank you for your worry. But it still hurts me. - I said to him.
- Father, Aslihan wants to tell you how this hapened and who did this. - Bayezid said to Suleyman while he was trying not to be impulsive this time and not to show him his anger.
Suleyman showed me to sit on his couch as it was really hard for me to stand on my legs. From the first day, Sultan was very nice to me, and I didn't really knew why, but I was thankful for that.
- Who would even dare to do this to my son's wife? - Suleyman asked me as I saw he is also pretty upset about everything what happened.
- Hunkarim, it was Hurrem Sultana. - I said to him calmly, as I knew he would stay shocked, and maybe he wouldnt even believe me about this.
- How? How could Hurrem do it? Why would she do it? - Suleyman asked me as he was really upset about that.
- While we were on the party in harem yesterday, she started threatening me to return her the emerald ring which Şehzade Bayezid gave me as our wedding gift. - I said to him with my head bowed down.
- I said to Hurrem she can't mix in that. I sent the letter to Bayezid and gave him the ring. Hurrem is fine with the way ring is yours now. Why would she do that? - Suleyman asked me and he seemed pretty much like he doesn't trust me. I knew he loves Hurrem really much, but this time I was telling the truth.
- You can ask Mihrimah Sultana if you don't believe me. Hurrem Sultana threatened me whole night because of ring. Then I went to check Murad if he is fine, and she followed me. She started threatening me there. She was yelling on me to return her ring. - I said to him and looked at his eyes.
- What happened then? - Suleyman asked me because he was interested in the story now, but I still wasn't sure if he trusts me.
- Then she slapped me. I said to her I don't want to fight, but she still continued to threatening me. Then, her loyal servant, Fahriye Kalfa came and attacked me with a knife in stomach. As I fell down on the floor from pain, Hurrem took the ring from my hand and walked away. - I said to him as I sounded really seriously about this situation, as it was for real.
- Are you sure who you are accusing? You are accusing my legal wife Hurrem Sultana! - Suleyman said angrily to me.
-Hunkarim, father, she is telling the truth. My mother hates her for a long time already, and she wants to return that ring so hardly. - Bayezid tried to convince him of the truth.
- Hunkarim, I swear you with my life and life of my children. I would never lie abour something like this. - I said to Suleyman seriously. At that moment, his mood swinged really fast.
- Aghas! Call Hurrem Sultan to come immediately. Also call Mihrimah to prove me some things! - Suleyman yelled on his main door keeper agha.
