CHAPTER 02

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace." -Jimi Hendrix

PART 02

"Is it a sin to ask for peace in here?" Holding his head in his palm, Gundogdu was on verge of breaking every thing in his reach. He can't believe what just happened outside, he tried his best to calmly dismiss it but what devil has resided in her? That no matter how much he tries to clean his heart towards her, she poison his heart back with all this evil mindset.

"Qatil, you killed that woman."

"What type of a woman you are Selcan, first you poisoned your own family now you have turned your fangs towards mine."

"Yazıklar olsun sana! Yazıklar olsun sana!

( shame on you! Shame on you! ) I pity your husband that he has to deal with your bitterness all day long"

"You walk among others shamelessly while you have blood on your hands, Aytolun"

Remembering their bickering, how she put blame on Aytolun hatun without any proofs, without any shame. He wanted to bang his head, hard enough for it to explode and maybe then he may have some peace.

He released a deep sigh, can't believe that they are in such a mess. He was helpless, he can't stop himself of thinking how he was taunt for not being able to stop his woman, how his authority was questioned in front of so many people.

"This is disgrace! Could you not hold your sick woman, Gundogdu?"

"What kind of a man are you?"

Grabbing his head in hands trying to push those words out of his mind, he doesn't want to think about it. "Ya ALLAH! yardım. (help), help me."

His voice heavy with grieve, his eyes full of tears, "Why everyone is trying to break the peace? First kardeş (brother) with his never-ending hunt and bold words, no care who stands beside him, Ertugrul always doing what he thinks is best. My own ANA (mother), she didn't take me into confidence and sent Deli Demir and Halime Sultan to Konya. Sungurtekin kardeş (brother) has his own secrets and again I have no clue. Selcan, I don't even want to think about that woman. Her name is enough to distress me and I would not tolerate her ambitions or anyone who think they can break this peace. But what can I do? I'm being held in dark in my own tribe, they don't discuss evrything, keeping secrets." He sighed. "I need to talk to Ana about this, I have to." Wearing his cap, he stood up.

Taking deep breaths and stretching his arms to calm himself down. If he needs Ana to understand him, he needs to be calm and collected. "we have suffered already, Gundogdu. We need this peace for our people, for us. They have to and they will understand it." With these final thoughts, he moved out of his tent and started taking steps towards the marquee.

"Hay'di Allah, Hak'di Allah" (Allah is great, Allah is the one) with every strike on the iron the voices grew more and more intense.

Standing with a hot iron in one hand and a hammer in the other Deli Demir with all his power was hammering the iron and with every strike his lips moved in Allah's honour and praise. Two young men were watching and copying his every moves, they wanted to learn the art and to exercise as Turgut told them to do so before leaving with Ertugrul bey. One was holding the iron and both were hammering it in sync.
