She got up and walked to the door went to turn out the light but Gülsha panicked
Gülsha: Hayir lutfen. Don't turn it off! Please... please leave it on. I'll be good please please...
She kept muttering, rocking back and forward she moved crying struggling to breath. Hünkar flew into action she got down on the floor moved her into her lap cuddled her close stroking hair and back
Hünkar: Sh...sh...sh tamam, tamam. Işık açık kalacak tamam. Breath baby... breath that's it good girl in... and out that's it good baby. Your safe askim. Shh Shh it's ok darling. They will never hurt you again.
They sat there till she calmed down a bit her breathing slowed
Hünkar: That's better kizim come on into bed canim gel
She nodded sleepily and stood up. Hünkar also got up and carried Gülsha back to bed is was easy since she was light as a feather
Hünkar: Uyu sevgili uykum. Sleep
She hummed a lullaby patting her back gently. She had silent tears running down her face, she hated to think what these children have been through. Gülsha's breath evened out so she kissed her head and left quietly making sure to leave the light on and left.
