Feriha Hatun (Ertugrul's Wife)

Prologue

3rd person P.O.V.

"Do you accept Ertugrul, son of Suleyman Shah of the Kayi tribe as your husband with his offer of 100 gold coins and 20 sheep as Mehr?" The Imam asked Feriha. "Yes! I accept!" She said smiling joyfully. "Do you accept?" He repeated. "I do" she said again. "Do you accept?" He asked again - this was tradition to make sure the woman was happy with the marriage in their culture. "Yes! I do!" She said smiling up at Ertugrul who grinned back. "And, witnesses, do you bear witness to this marriage?" He asked turning to both of their parents. "We do!" they said in Unison. "Then my children you are now husband and wife. May Allah bless you with a happy life and give you beautiful and strong children and may you're descendants be happy and follow the right path aswell!" He beamed at them.

Ertugrul and Feriha then walked over to their parents and in laws to get their blessings and to kiss their hands before turning to exit the marquee and head to their tent. They walked side by side as all the tribe's people cheered and rejoiced. The Alps circled them, merrily waving their swords and banging on their shields. Ertugrul and Feriha eventually made their way into their new tent. Ertugrul sat on their bed and Feriha grabbed them both Sherbet to drink. Ertugrul smiled as he watched her carefully pouring their drinks. He waited as she poured her own and sat down before they both took a sip of their drinks. They both knew each other quite well so there was no need to act like a new couple and ask a million questions.

Suddenly, they heard Bamsi call from outside "May I enter Bey?" He asked Ertugrul from outside their tent. "Yes" Ertugrul called to him. "My Bey I know it's your wedding night but the alps have cooked some food and would really like you to join" he said after he had entered and smiled hopefully at Ertugrul. Ertugrul was about to reply with a 'no but Feriha spoke first. "Bey if they wish for you to eat with them then go. The Alps miss you quickly and I am not tired I will still be awake when you come back" she smiled at him encouragingly. " I can also get to know my sisters in law while I'm waiting" she added. He hesitantly agreed and then they both stood up. He kissed her on the head and said " I'll try not be gone too long, my love" she smiled and nodded and they both walked out with Bamsi following. She headed back to the marquee where she was sure Hayme and her sister's in law would be as Ertugrul and Bamsi left in the opposite direction to Turgut's tent.

Feriha sighed happily and hummed a tune as she walked. She was lost in thought, reliving the event that had just occurred that she didn't notice or hear two bandits sneaking up behind her. One placed a cloth over her mouth soaked in a chloroform which immediately made her feel drowsy while the other grabbed her and began to drag her away. She struggled, wiggling in their arms but darkness overcame her and she fell unconscious. No alps on guard has seen what happened and the bandits easily dragged the helpless woman away...

A/n: Feriha was taken away like Halime and Aslihan were in the video at the top
