Elçin considered it as the end of her one sided story and love for Melikşah. But, fate had some other plans for them.
*****
This is a fanfiction of the Turkish series "Uyanış büyük selçuklu".
The story starts after the end of Bölüm 15 but with certa...
I was about to draw her sword which was attached to the outfit but she held my wrist and turned, pulling out her sword and placing on my neck.
She smiled confidently and told, "I knew it!"
"How?"
"Just...sensed"
"Why do you follow me everywhere I go?" She asked with her sword still touching my neck.
"I don't..." I replied striking her sword with mine.
It was as if we were challenging each other.
"Why did you come here, from Isfahan?" She asked dodging my sword.
"Sana ne?" I replied.
Our swords striked each other exactly vertical in front of our faces. That was a front guard.
I stared at her face in silence. She too looked at me but my long stare made her switch her gaze. She turned and twirled her sword around.
I advanced and hit hers with mine and pulled her arm and brought her closer to me such that her back touched my chest and we faced in the same direction.
I dropped my sword and enclosing her waist with one arm, brought my face closer to hers and asked in a calm tone.
"Why do you turn your gaze away when I look at you? Why do you avoid an eye contact, Elçin?"
She remained silent and got rid of my hold, picked her sword and began to leave.
"Nereye?" I asked.
She sighed. "I came here to hunt, but you disturbed me, Sultanım. So I'm going now." She replied sarcastically and faking a smile.
I chuckled at her silly reply and told,
"You can still continue, I'll leave."
She hit me again with a sarcastic reply. "Yok..I'll only leave. You can continue challenging imaginary demons here."
She left but I continued laughing. Annoyingly or whatever, her replies to a single question of mine sounded so irrelevant but comic at the same time.
But for the very first time I had seen such a side of Elçin where she wasn't talking or acting out of seriousness. Perhaps for the first time we behaved informal with each other.
Elçin's POV
After I returned, Ağabey approached me.
"Elçin!"
"Efendım ağabey.."
"Elçin, umm- I wanted to request something."
"Request? Neoldu abi? What request?"
"Elçin, I want to be the Emir of Anatolia."
"That's it? What's there to request in it abi? Whether you be the Emir or me, it's the same for me.I'll tell Sultan Melikşah about this. We both can rule Anatolia together."
"Together? You'll return to Isfahan. That was another reason why I requested this."
I stared at his face silently.
"I'm not returning to Isfahan, ağabey. How did you just assume?"
"I'm not assuming, Elçin. It's obvious. You're married to him and you belong to Isfahan."
I sighed.
"Abi, I think I've told you before that this marriage is just-- We'll seperate.
"Moreover, he already has a wife whom he loves a lot and hasn't yet overcome the grief of Başulu hatun's death. I don't belong there."
"An ailing wife, Terken hatun right? And an other one who is dead. What are you even saying Elçin?"
"Doesn't matter if she ails or not. She is his wife, a mother to his daughter and his crown, Terken hatun!"
"Tamam abi. I don't want to discuss much about this."
I told this and left.
In the evening, three of us were seated around the dining table.

"Sultanım, there's a riot around Şelemzar. They seek Anatolia's help. I've decided to go there. It might take three-four days to return." Ağabey told
He nodded and then asked, "When are you leaving, then?"
"A little before the sunrise."
"Tamam."
I was a little hesitated. But finally told.
"Sultanım, I've something to tell to you."
"Söyle, Elçin hatun."
"I want ağabey to serve as the Emir of Anatolia. Hereafter, I won't serve."
"Is this a request or a declaration?"
"Perhaps both." I answered.
"Hayir!" He told in a stiff tone.
I looked at ağabey's face while he was staring at him, probably in surprise.
"Ne?" I asked
"It's my decision! You'll continue to serve as the Emir, Elçin hatun."
"Ama isn't it the same? Me and him."
"It's not the same!" His tone grew louder.
Ağabey remained silent staring at the table.
"He's even going to Şelemzar to sort out the matter as a help from Anatolia. You agreed to that, but why not this?"
"That's a different thing, Elçin hatun. Moreover, the right to decide who the Emir of Anatolia 'll be, is solely mine."
He replied staring at me.
"Ama-"
He signalled his hand before I could speak further.
I got up and left out of frustration.
