" Come on Mihrişah Hatun, push. The baby has to come. It's time." nurse said to me as she tried to calm me down as I couldn't stop yelling while I was giving birth.
Murad and whole harem together with his sisters and mother were in front of ambulance where I was giving birth.
I couldn't help myself but to scream how it hurted me. But I knew I had to be strong. I had to be strong for that baby which will decide my future in this Palace.
" It's a boy." nurse said and at that moment Sultan Murad and his Valide Kosem Sultana came into my chambers to see the baby.
" Mihrişah, my love..." Murad came closer to me and took the baby into his arms. I couldn’t but start crying from happiness when I saw Murad holding our baby son in his arms. He looked so cute as a father.
" Your name is Selim." Murad whispered three times into baby's ears.
He gave me baby back so I can have it in my arms. I never felt an emotion like I have felt in this moment. I never even known what is the feeling of holding my own baby in my hands. I never even could imagine what is the feeling of being a mother.
" Congradulations Mihrişah, I hope your son will grow up healthy." Kosem said as she touched baby's face gently. I could see she is proud on me for having my firstborn as a son.
" I have a present for you." Murad said and took something from a box. I could see beautiful necklace with a tulip sign on it.
I got up so he could put it on my neck and it looked so beautiful.

" As you gave birth to a son now, you are a Sultana. From now on you are member of Ottoman Dynasty. And tulip is sign of our dynasty." Murad said as he kissed my forehead once again.
" So now I am your Sultana?" I asked him and smiled. He was really nice to me after everything what happened and I forgot about Elena very easily.
" From the first day you were my Sultana, but from now on you are legally a Sultana." Murad said and smiled to me. Obviously my words affected on his behaviour towards me.
A month has passed since I gave birth to my beautiful son Selim. He really looked as Murad. He has his eyes, nose and his lips. I looked at my own little version of Murad.
Murad gave me chambers, as I was a Sultana now. Kosem Sultana was proud on me because she believed me a lot.
They gave me my own servants who would be with me and help me with my child. But only thing they didn't allow me was to see my sister.
My sister was with Şehzade Ibrahim which was locked in Kafes. She served him there and I had no ability to see her. Kosem didn't allow me until, as she said, it's correct time to do it.

I was walking around Harem as I wanted to meet with Kosem Sultana. We need to had a talk, but at that moment I saw Princess Farya standing in the Harem with few servants next to her.
" What are you doing here?" I asked her as I couldn't believe why is she in the Harem. I couldn’t stand this woman and I wanted her to be far away from Murad.
" You should maybe bow me first, you are a slave here, while I am Princess." Farya said arrogantly as she measured me from head to toe.
" I am a Sultana now and I am not here to bow to you." I said to her and I could see she is looking at me with disgust.
" Sultan Murad invited me to live here. He said this is better for my safety, as bandits already tried to attack me." Farya said and at that moment I have felt like someone attacked me with a sword in the middle of my heart. How could Murad invite her to live in Harem?
" Mihrişah Sultan, Sultan Murad wants to see you." Lalezar Kalfa interrupted our conversation. At the mention of Murad, Farya looked at me angrily, and I returned to her with fake smile.
" Mihrişah, my love. I missed you." Murad said as he opened his arms to welcome in a hug. I was happy to see him, but I wasnt happy because he invited Farya to come here.
I came into his hug and I tried to show him how I am not happy in this moment.
" What happened? What is wrong?" Murad asked me worriedly as I looked as I am really sad. I knew how to play really well.
" Nothing happened, I'm fine." I said to him and looked away.
" I know you very well, I know there is something wrong. You can tell me what." Murad said as he hugged me while I was sitting in his lap.
" Princess Farya. I heard she is invited to come to live here in the Harem." I said to him sadly as I didn't even want to look at him.
" Yes, I invited her and that is for her safety. You don't like that idea?" Murad asked me confusedly what kind of problems I have with Princess Farya.
" I have nothing against that, but she acts bad towards me everytime. I can't stand that, she always makes me feel bad." I lied to Murad and acted like I am sad. I didn't want to have her here.
" Farya must learn rules of Harem first. She isn't used how to act towards people here. She was raised in another country. She will get used soon." Murad said trying to comfort me.
" So she will live here as a part of Harem?" I asked Murad as I was shocked by his words. Why would she need to get on Harem rules?
" You will see." Murad said as he didn't want to tell me a lot about it, and that made me crazy. How could he do that? Why would Farya stay here?
