I woke up one morning and went to the balcony as the morning came. It was beautiful, the city glowed and I had a front row seat to it. Ships were sailing, flags of the Ottoman Empire hoisted above, and people waking up and getting to work. The Bosphorus sea sparkled as I smiled.
I heard footsteps behind me but I hadn't bothered to look until strong arms wrapped around me, and I knew it was Sultan Osman.
"My love," He murmured as he rubbed my hand with his thumb. He whispered something that sounded like 'Behiç'
"What was that?" I asked softly.
"I have decided to give you a new name," Sultan Osman said decisively now. My eyes widened. Is this what Mehe Kalfa mentioned? A new name?
"What is it?" I asked excitedly. Perhaps Hatche, or Shah, two names I heard in the Harem.
"Behiç. It means merry and beautiful." He pulled my chin up and gazed into my eyes, as I did to him.
We got into an embrace, and then he kissed me. I love you Sultan Osman, were my last thoughts until I fainted...
