i couldn't go back to my room after that , but i had to . we had bid our farewell and each one of us took their separate way , i dragged my feet to my room and knocked on it feeling empty .
Fahriye opened it for me and immediately noticed my expression « Your highness , what happened ? you don't look good » she said after closing the door behind me .
« He's gone , he's leaving to Manisa tomorrow » she put her hand on her mouth in shock , we had the same reaction . « Why ? Did his majesty allow him to do so ? » she asked trying to get more informations out of me .
« I don't even know why he did so but yes , his majesty ordered him to go back without prior notice . it must've been Mahidevran sultan » i said taking off the scarf i had wrapped on my neck and putting it aside .
« It's not the end your highness don't worry » she tried to comfort me but i wanted to be alone more than anytime « Please Fahriye , i want to be alone » I said sitting on my bed looking at the floor .
Fahriye nodded after my words and walked away from me leaving the room eventually , I layed down on my bed trying to sleep these thoughts away but no matter what i tried to do he always came to my mind.
I managed to sleep through the night , hoping that tomorrow would bring me some peace and relief .
I woke up the next day to the sound of birds chirping , a sound that was barely heard in my room . I opened my eyes slowly and could hear the sound getting closer , i was confused but understood that the birds were indeed in my room .
" What is this ?" i said massaging my sore neck a little bit before sitting up , i spotted a cage on my desk .
I got up slowly and reached for the cage , where i found two small birds inside . I found a letter next to the cage door and opened it .
" Take care of them , and let them be your friends until i come back again . there's also a gift for you in the box next to it , always wear it" I smiled knowing where it came from , i put the letter down and opened the box that was put next to the cage .
The prettiest necklace ever was placed inside , i touched it with my fingers and put it in the palm of my hand admiring it . I then put it on and stared at myself in the mirror

I smiled while looking at myself , at least i had something left from him to remember . I looked back at the cage and put my finger inside to touch the two birds
"I guess you're my companion now" i patted its head and smiled at them , my door had opened very slowly revealing Fahriye .
" i put them here for you your highness , he sent it to you earlier in the morning" I looked at her and stepped closer " Did he leave yet ?" i asked with a little disappointment in my face .
" He is about to" she walked towards my window and opened it wide open , letting the sun reflect on the entire room . I followed her and looked at the view infront of me , there were three carriages there .
