Resurrection Ertugrul - A Twist In The Plot

Captive

At Konya

Narrator P.O.V

They looked behind them and could not believe their eyes. 

" Hah, you thought you could escape from us? You thought you could escape from the great Templars?!" Bisol (The leader of the group of Templars) scoffed. 

"What do you want from us?!" Numan raged.

"We will give you peace if you accept our wonderful offer that no human has ever received before. Look, you will become sultan under our rule. What more could one want? Your daughter and son will get a luxurious life. I would want to marry your daughter but of course, we Templars do not get married."

Halime stared at Bisol, disgusted with what she had heard.

"I would never give my daughter to you and I would never betray my state!" Numan roared.

"Whatever" Bisol muttered. He caught eye of Zeynep. Curiously he asked, "Who is this girl, I have never seen her any of the times we have captured you?"

Numan hesitated to answer until Halime raised her head and lied, "She is our long lost sister, we finally found her, Alhamdulillah."

"Aah is that so?" Bisol questioned. They all eyed each other with fear that he may not believe them. "Well little girl, you are either lucky or either unfortunate. What I mean is, if your father accepts to be sultan, you are lucky that you have been found. However, if he declines, you will regret that you have been found and you will live in dungeons!"

" Well if they were to be killed, I would ask to be killed. If they were tortured, I would ask to be tortured. If they were put in dungeons, I would ask to be put in a dungeon. Do you really think I am scared?" Zeynep yelled.

Numan and Halime smiled while Yigit nodded happily. 

"My, my, my! This girl is much more braver than you! Are you sure she is your daughter?" Bisol cackled

"She was a blessing from Allah! Only Allah knows where she got this fearlessness from!" Halime answered.

'From my brothers?' Zeynep questioned  her self while she tried to put an image in her head to remember how they looked like.

Bisol rolled his eyes and started to tie Numan. The sehzade (Numan) stood their motionless whilst his children stared at him.

"Why are we not doing anything! Come on, let's go save your father from those accursed ropes!" Zeynep whispered.

Yigit stopped her and replied "No, we can't otherwise he will kill my father."

"Aah right, is that so? " Zeynep asked sarcastically. She scanned the knights. They were unaware. 

'This is my chance for revenge..' Zeynep thought. 

At the Kayi Tribe

It had already been a few months and everyone lost hope in Zeynep's survival. Everyone , except from Hayme Ana. 

Hayme Ana's P.O.V

Everyone is telling me that Zeynep is not alive and I should just forget about her! If I still believe my son, Sungurtekin, is alive ,who has been missing for years, then why should they think I would lose hope in Zeynep being alive when she has only been missing for a few months? If I have hope in Allah (which I do) then my Zeynep and Sungurtekin will come back!

Narrator's P.O.V

To let his wife forget about her despair, Suleyman Shah suggested Hayme take a ride out into the wild with him. He was worried about his wife's health and how she'd only think about Zeynep. She'd pass out thinking about her and then wake up muttering her name. 'Zeynep, my little lioness' she would say.

"All you do is work in the rug house. And then work in the marquee. What is this Hayme? Why don't I take you out into the vibrant, aromatic meadows? There are many beautiful flowers and plants that are pleasing to the eye. Your horse is bored and wants to explore. Come on, why don't you come with me on a ride?" Suleyman Shah insisted

Hayme hesitated saying that she had much work at the rug house to be done.

"Well, we are going to a meadow, right? You can get many flowers from there to print vivid, attractive cloths. We would make some money for the tribe once we sold them. And all credit would go to you, because you decided to come with your husband to the meadow!" Suleyman encouraged.

She broke a smile and agreed. Suleyman Shah picked up her basket in joy and handed it to her.  He asked someone to get the horses ready and they set off.
