I put on a beautiful pink dress and a white shawl on my head to cover my chest a little, after thinking I concluded that the weather is a bit cold so I put a cape on my shoulders.

I asked Fahriye Kalfa for permission and headed to the garden, I don't even know where we are supposed to meet, the area of this garden is very huge.

After I felt that I was lost again in this garden I heard the sound of some footsteps from one of the corridors so I quickly hid, I don't know why I did this but it is a natural reaction. Suddenly I found a tall man standing in front of me with his eyes lowered, yes I remember him he was the one who accompanied the prince that day in the garden.

"Mary Hatun?" He asked in a calm tone.

"Yes it's me" I said trying to sound confident, I am really embarrassed because I hid, I look so stupid, I have hate this damn garden.

"I am Aymen Pasha" he moved away a little "Come with me şehzade Mehmet is waiting for you In his favorite place"

His favorite place? I felt surprised and curious, I moved my head and then started walking. I found myself in a vast green space, there is a big pond surrounded by some flowers, and also a decorative water fountain. I noticed that they love fountains very much. Everything about this place looks so perfect. It seems that they took great care of these gardens and the decoration.

I turned around and didn't find Prince Mehmet anywhere and it seems that Aymen noticed that so he came a little closer and said "Şehzade Mehmet is taking a tour on his horse, he will be here any minute"

He was right because after less than two minutes I saw him on a black horse approaching very quickly, as soon as he arrived he got off the horse.

I bowed a little respectfully then he said "Aymen take Bora to the stable" he finished his sentence then came closer to me "Good morning" he said and smoke was coming out of his mouth because of the cold weather.

"Good morning" I looked at him "Bora?" I said in surprise.

He nodded as he looked at the horse while Aymen was pulling him away "Yes bora means "storm" and my horse has a lot of energy and spirit so it suits him"

I smiled a little "oh I see, I will add this word to what I learned"

He looked at me as his horse disappeared from sight "Yes I can notice that, but your tone is a little slow" he smiled as he sat under the tent then pointed to me to sit in front of him where there was a short table between us "but you will learn it quickly"

I smiled a little "I hope so.. so that I can also send you letters"

"That would be great" he pointed his hand to one of the Aghas as he said "I think it is a good time to have breakfast"

I watched the Agha leave then looked back at Mehmet "You wanted to meet me so we could have breakfast with me" I lowered my eyes and started playing with my fingers in a piece of the shawl "How lucky I am that you chose me to have breakfast with" I looked back at him "It seems that every day you have breakfast with a different person"

Mehmet looked confused as he said "What do you mean?"

I raised my eyebrows "Didn't you eat it with Eylem yesterday" I looked away "I'm not trying to interfere or anything your highness" I didn't even mean to get into this topic now he'll think I'm jealous or something.

Mehmet put his hand on his leg and from the expression on his face it seemed like he was trying to hold back his laughter "No I didn't eat breakfast with her" He looked away and started to look around the place "And I won't just have breakfast with you but we'll do something else later"
