I managed to sleep fine today even after waking up many times during the night the doctors here didn't leave me alone even for a second and thanks to them i managed to get on my feet again .

This morning i managed to stand up by myself without feeling dizzy and i had asked them to bring me my daughter , not to hug her but just to see her even from afar . I put on a long robe and they walked me to her room , the doctors said i was well and that i recovered but i didn't want to put someone's life at risk and especially hers .

I stood next to her window and there was a girl standing next to her rocking her crib so she can sleep , they told me that she hadn't been able to sleep ever since i got sick and it gave me more strength to get up and help myself recover .

« Mahidevran sultan kept an eye on her your highness , it is difficult for a newborn to spend their first days without their mother » one of the servants said trying to console me but i couldn't help but feel  guilty and selfish at some point even if it was out of my  control.

« I want to go back to the capital , i need to be with Mustafa »i  said impatiently ,i  had to go back and show everyone that i  got back from the dead and that i am better now .

« I hope so too sultana , it's been tough for you and i am sure everyone in the palace is waiting for you » she tried to console me again while i stared at my daughter from afar .

I watched her play with her hands in the air while the girl struggled to put her to sleep , i wanted to step in and rock her crib myself but i felt like i was still contagious even if i wasn't .

I felt like my touch was poisonous and it didn't feel right so i kept watching from afar . I was lost in my thoughts looking at my daughter when i heard someone call my name .
It wasn't just a normal call , this voice didn't belong to someone that i didn't know , it belonged to my one and only person.

Mustafa , it was him .
The moment we saw each other , time seemed to slow down as our eyes locked hinting a look of longing , relief and an overwhelming love

He then hugged me , he embraced me like i was a fragile leaf but tight enough to make me feel how much he missed me . it felt like everything else melted away and it was just us in this world , i longed for this touch for so long .

« My beautiful princess » he kissed the top of my head and sighed in relief as he kept hugging me , i wrapped my hands around his back and rested on his shoulder before backing away slightly , our faces inches apart from each other .

« I have missed you so much , you can't even realise how much i've missed your presence , i don't even recall how i got here » he put his hands out to cup my cheeks .

« I thank god he gave me another life to spend it with you » i said feeling truly thankful for this blessing

« Mustafa , i am afraid i will contaminate you » i said remembering my sickness , he shook his head and stayed still « You're all good , you should believe the doctors » he tired to reassure me but i couldn't help .

«  I don't want to leave you ever again » he said placing a soft kiss on my forehead « let me take you to your room » he grabbed my hand making sure i could stand on my feet and leaded me to Mahidevran sultan's room .

« You will find out » he reassured me and i nodded trusting him blindly , we both stepped inside and found Mahidevran sultan inside chatting with her servant Fidan .

« Mustafa ? we didn't agree on this » She looked surprised to see him here and immediately got up from her seat « You shouldn't be here » she said hinting confusion and frustration at the same time .
