- Are my sons both okay? Everything is going fine with them? - Herman asked as he had both Osman and Mehmed in his arms.
- Osman is doing fine, My Lord - Mahfiruze replied - Growing quite quick!
- I can see that - he smiled then turned to me and gave me a loving smile - How about Mehmed?
- He's doing fine too - I replied, smiling back at him - He's a peaceful sleeper and a great boy already.
- That's lovely to hear.
Some minutes later we both took our sons away from Herman and were about to head off to take them to sleep when...
- Kösem... Stay here, please... - I hear Herman saying that from behind me.
As I turned towards Azura she gave me a smirk as I carefully handed Mehmed over to her and she took him to my room to sleep while Mahfiruze left the room.
So finally me and Herman were left alone.
He gently pulled me down by his side on the bed...
- How're you feeling? - he questioned - Is everything okay between you and my mother?
- Everything is perfect. She forgave me and understood me and what I did... So everything is okay...
- Good - he smiled while placed his hand on my cheek - I want you to be happy...
- As long as you're with me.... And as long as I have my son... I am happy...
He smiled softly then kissed me on the lips lovingly.
- I'm sorry... I didn't realize what was wrong before - he sighed - I should have seen it...
- I can hide my feelings quite well, if necessary... So don't blame yourself - I smiled at him - And even though I lost my father... I got my son, Mehmed... And I got you back... Which mean so much to me... Because without you two I wouldn't be here anymore...
- And you won't lose any of us... I promise you that - Herman smiled again as I snuggled up to him tightly.
This moment was so peaceful.
So calm.
Nothing could ruin this for us now.
Nothing and nobody.
