Halime Sultan : The Time Traveler

ᴛʜɪʀᴛy ɴɪɴᴇ

"Welcome Sultanam." I nodded at Hümaşah Sultan and she nodded at me with a warm smile like always.

"Halime, thank you." She replied.

I motioned Esma to give me the small box she was carrying and she handed it to me. "It's a small gift but I hope you like it. And many happy returns of the day, many Allah fulfill all your wishes."

"Thank you so much." She took the box from me before opening it, revealing a beautiful ruby necklace.

"Oh my, it's so beautiful Halime." She thanked me as she ran her fingers on the expensive neck piece, admiring it before closing it and handing her box to her maid.

We all went out and sat outside. I sat alongside Mehmed while others sat on the pillow infront of the long table.

"Thank you Hünkarım for the feast. I appreciate it. May God bless His Majesty and Halime Sultan with many kids and may His rule be a magnificent one." Hümaşah thanked and said a blessing prayer and others replied with Amin.

"Amin, Hümaşah. May Allah bless you and Zülfiker with many kids." Mehmed replied before motioning for the party to start.

Mehmed intertwined our fingers and I smiled at him. He lean in close to my ear, "You look ravishing in that dress. I can't wait to peel it off your later, my love."

I chocked on my drinks while he smirked at me.  When did he became so shameless?

"Halime, are you alright?" Hümaşah asked with concern and I nodded.

"I'm fine, Sultanam." I replied before turning my attention back to my husband who was grinning at me like a fool.

"Sultanam." Gülnihal called out and I moved my gaze towards her. She was holding Osman who was crying but stopped as soon as he saw my face and forward his arms towards me, asking me to pick him.

"Give him to me Gülnihal." I said as I took Osman from Gülnihal.

"Osman, my Şehzade, my son. Did you miss your mother?" I kissed his forehead before leaning my cheeks on his head. He is a mama's boy but he took everything from his father, from looks to personality. Everything. Sometimes, it scares me when I catch both of them staring at me when I don't give them my attention.

Osman fell asleep in my arms but he refused to loosen his grip on my dress even when he was sleeping. So, I had no option but to carry him for the whole evening.

Soon the party got over and everybody went to their own chambers as they were going to stay here for some weeks to attend Esmahan Sultan's wedding. Şah Huban's eldest daughter. They will be arriving soon and I'm pretty sure they'll be bringing some concubines, just to annoy me.

Mehmed and I walked back to our chamber with a wide awake Osman in Mehmed's arm, who was playing with my necklace. I took off my necklace and gave it to him after he refuse to let go of it.

"He's growing up so fast." Mehmed said as we entered out chamber and I nodded in agreement.

He motioning other's to leave the room like he always do before sitting down on the couch and I sat down beside him. "Şah Sultan asked for my permission to come here." Mehmed said.

"Why?" I asked. What is that witch planning this time.

"I don't know. But don't worry, she won't do anything. She can't. One mistake and I'll have her head." He replied before placing a kiss on my head and I let out a sigh before nodding.

"I just. . . I just have this uneasy feeling."

"Halime, you need to take rest. You have been working none stop for the whole day." He scolded before placing Osman on our bed and sat back down before lifting both my legs and placing them on his lap.
