Ertugrul

I woke up the next day with Feriha still in my arms. I smiled as I looked at her calm expression as she slept. I really cannot belive how I managed to marry such a beautiful woman. When I found pu that she was raped, I was fuming and was dead set on revenge. But when I heard that she was pregnant too, I knew I had to calm myself in order to support her.

I will be happy whether Feriha decides to keep the baby or not, because like she said, it would be brilliant to have a child but on the other hand, it is a child that has come from a Mongol. Also what would happen if we did raise the child, but in the future the true father of the child were to show up and mislead it? They could turn our own child against us. But maybe that's paranoid thinking.

As my thoughts drew to a conclusion and I sat silently, I felt Feriha shift in my eyes. "Good morning, my gorgeous wife" I greeted her with a smile. "Good morning Bey" she replied, smiling too. I carefully sat her up to lean on the pillows when my mother walked in with breakfast for us.

"I thought it would be better if you two ate together in here, than you can take care of her with ease" my mother told me. "Thank you mother, you thought well" I answered as she placed the tray in front of Feriha. "How are you my dear?" She asked as she sat down on a chair by the bed.

"I'm feeling much better thank you, mother Hayme" my wife responded as she began to dig into the meal. I sat beside her as we ate and made small talk until Feriha told us that she wants to abort the child. With that, I double checked that was definitely the decision she wanted to make and then took her to the medical tent.
