" Mother wake up " the seven children gathered around the body of their mother after these days wearing all black and she quickly started to open her eyes but she backed off not understanding

" Where am I ? Ahmed ?" She looked around her but she couldn't understand

" Mother calm down " Hanzade grabbed her hands trying to calm her down

" Cennet saved you from death " Murad spoke as he stared deeply at his mother

" why ? Why did you do it i can't without him " she said as her eyes got teary " how did this happen ? " she asked staring at cennet who looked down

" it wasn't a poison , it just helped you lose your conscience for some days . I couldn't let you die " Cennet softly said before Atiye breathed in

" I am sorry , i am sorry i was being selfish for not thinking about you . I will never forgive myself " she rested her head in her hands as she let out a deep sigh

" The funeral was held three days ago " selim looked down as his eyes got teary

She stared blanlky at her son before she broke in tears as her eldest daughter hugged her

" may his soul rest in peace " Mehmed spoke getting up not being able to see his mother in that state .

" Your majesty let's go " Osman said making their mother look at him

" What " she looked at them one by one trying to understand

" Yes ,i ascended the throne two days ago " Murad said grabbing his mother's hand tightly

" I am sorry i couldn't be with you " Murad shushed her

" Mother i don't want you to think about anything right now , i just want you to get well soon and comeback to us as happier as ever " she nodded before wipping her tears away

" Come on let's go we should let our mother rest a bit " They all got up after hanzade spoke , they started leaving one by one

" Cennet i don't want you to leave her alone keep an eye on her " Sah warned cennet who bowed agreeing .

Meanwhile Atiye was staring blankly at the door  as tears started leaving her eyes , her heart clenched in pain as she missed him . She missed everything about them , they still had  a bright future ahead and their dreams ...

" I should be strong " she calmed herself down taking a deep breath , she pulled the covers away before putting her legs on the floor . She was still tired and sore from all the sleeping , she immediately wore her black dress with the help of her maids and quickly dismissed them

Her mind was full of thoughts and the only thing that was in her mind was her husband . She tried to breathe numerous times so she can stop her crying but nothing helped especially when her eyes layed on the dress she wore that night .

She approached it and stared at it in details as her tears were already forming

" Please god , help me endure this " she looked up at the ceiling before she smelled it as it still had ahmed's scent on it

Suddenly she remembered his last words

"what saddens me the most is that we couldn't fulfill our dreams " he opened his eyes slightly

" But you are here , you will continue on living for me " he continued before coughing again

" Ahmed these dreams don't mean anything without you " she said shooking her head " My wings will break and my sould will collaspe without you " she burried her head on her hand and his and cried .

" You will do it i believe in you " he grabbed her hand and placed a passionate kiss on it

" what did we do to deserve this ? Our sin was falling in love but why did you had to go this early " she spoke staring at her terrace as wind blew in her face

" Valide sultan " hajar came in and approached atiye who was still in her own world

" Here " she put infront of her a cup of tea " this will help you " she spoke sitting infront of her

" I know you are stronger than this ,you will endure this pain " hajar took her hand and reassured her

" Hajar , you were with me ever since i came here and you were my family and you are the witness for our eternal love " she calmly spoke to hajar who nodded at every word

" If you don't think about yourself think about your children , you almost died leaving them behind . They don't breathe without you, live for them " she reassured atiye who listened carefully

" You will stand up again , you will go throught it just like any other time "

" this time is different hajar , i lost my other half " she looked down covering her eyes but hajar stopped her

" your children will be your other half " that sentence pierced right into her heart

" ahmed entrusted me to them , and he wanted me to be with them in every step they take "

" This is it ,do it for him and don't let your children suffer anymore . They have suffered enough " hajar got up before atiye wrapped he into the tightest hug
