Emir woke up with the faint sound of knocking. Room was filled with soft glow of sunlight. He looked at Feriha who was sleeping soundly. Kissing her forehead, he removed his arm from her head softly. He opened the door and found Ceylin standing there with her teddy bear. Still was not fully awoke as was rubbing her eyes.
'Daddy, Miss Aynur is not in her bed. I asked Mrs. Eminie , she also hasn't seen her. Has she left? " she went on.' Did you fire her, Daddy?' She entered the room and found Feiha in her father's bed sleeping.
'Daddy, why Miss Aynur is in your bed ? Is she ill?' Now she seemed concerned.
Emir bent down ,kissed her on her cheeks and picked her up .He took her to bed. Ceylin had not seen this Feriha before, she was different. By that time Feriha had woken up and smiled at both of them. Emir put her down on the bed with Feriha. Both knew they had to tell the truth to Ceylin, not the whole as she was too young to understand.Emir cautiously looked at Feriha then spoke to Ceylin,
'No, darling, She is fine now. I have a surprise for you..You always asked me about your mom. I never talked about her.'
'Yes, Daddy. But you told me not to talk about mom. You never showed me the picture of my mom ever? '
'You want to see her pictures?' Emir seriously asked her, looking at Feriha's direction, meeting her eyes bright with unshed tears.Both were going through lots of emotions, looking at Ceylin.
' Do you have her pictures, Daddy? I want to see her.' Innocently she asked.
Emir got up and went to his wardrobe, opening the drawer brought some pictures and one in frame. Framed one he gave to Ceylin searching her face for expressions.
It was their wedding picture. Feriha's face was covered with veil and Emir smiling at her.
'Daddy, mom face is covered, I can't see her.'
'Look closely, Ceylin.'
'Daddy, she looks familiar. In this picture she is looking like Miss Aynur,' Looked confusedly at Feriha who was looking fresh as early morning dew. Her face was glowing.
"Yes, Ceylin you want Miss Aynur to stay here for ever?'
'Oh ! Daddy, I love her very much. Can she stay here for ever? I don't want her to ever leave us.'
' Ceylin, If I tell you Miss Aynur is your mom. Her real name is Feriha.' Emir was treading on the soft grounds.
"Daddy, why did she left us?'
This was the question both were in dilemma how to answer. Feriha never wanted Ceylin should have wrong image of her father in her young age. She was too young to understand.. Feriha could see the look of strain around his eyes and mouth.His gaze flickered over Feriha before speaking to Ceylin. Feriha interrupted Emir before he could speak.
"Ceylin when you born,I was very ill. Dr. advised me to stay away from you.I knew your father will take care of you. He was always very loving and caring.If i had told him my decision ,he never would have let me go.So I left without telling him.I stayed with a friend all these years, getting treatment. I never thought i will recover.' her voice choked with tears that were threatening to spill.Ceylin was looking at her innocently, question in her eyes. Emir took her hand in his.
'I was told that I am completely alright then i decided to return. I was not sure if your father still loved me that's why I came as your governess in disguise. I wanted to see if your father will recognise me or not. Your daddy knew all the time who I was, he played along with me. I wanted to know you first, my little princess.' Feriha kissed her bringing her closer to her.
'Now you will never leave me ? I love you very much.' Ceylin face was sad as if going to cry.Anguish of lost years without her daughter flickered across her expressions.
Emir Feriha both hugged her, Emir with unshed tears, ' No, my precious one , Your mom will never leave us. We all three will live together. I love you both more than my life.'
It was beautiful outside with bright sunlight. At last both realized their mistakes. Time makes one mature. Four years were a long time. Feriha was mature now so Emir realized trust makes relationship strong. Now both had their daughter Ceylin.
Here comes the end to beautiful love story of Emir Feriha who had suffered a lot in their journey of love. Both lived happily ever after with their daughter like in every fairy tale.
