A Dream Life With You

Chapter 128: What You've Done To Her.

From behind comes a handsome man with a small 15 months old daughter in his arms. He greeted her mother respectfully and introduced himself gently. Then he passed on his daughter to Alya.

" This is my gift to you, Mama. This is my daughter. She is only 15 months old now. Her name is Ziya. I named her after you. I hope you are happy. She resembles you a lot. Everyone loves her a lot. She is a beloved princess of the country. So don't worry about anything anymore.

My daughter won't live like me. And how I lived, it doesn't matter anymore because my daughter will live the opposite. So I will be happy from now on. I will love her more than anything. And I promise you, I will protect her just like you protected me. I will give her a life befitting the princess.

Mama, I will be thankful to you forever. I have let go of the past. So rest assured and be in peace. You can be happy too... "

With tears, Alya bid a gentle farewell to her mother and left slowly. She cried as her husband supported her. She was finally leaving the past behind. She finally stopped caring about her father. She felt so glad to know that at least someone in this world loved her. That at least her mother loved her. That she wasn't a sinner for being born but instead she was chosen to be born.

Her mother got to know that she might die while she is in labour. She hid it from her husband and told her doctor who was also a dear friend of hers that she wants to save the child even if it means her death. Then she prepared that locket and made it look invaluable as a precaution against robbery. She also left a will to her husband and told him to take care of their child for her. But how would she know this is how he took care of her beloved daughter?

Her father heard everything she said. And when she was leaving, he felt like a shadow was chasing Alya. He looked up and saw Ziya, his beloved wife chasing after Alya with tears in her eyes.

But he saw she failed to stop her. Then Ziya turned around and stared at him with hatred in her eyes. Her tears were still falling. With a hate-filled voice, she said.

" I entrusted her to you. I asked you to compensate her for her mother's love! And this is what you did to her... " She cried as she asked.

" Why? Why?! Wasn't she the result of our love?! Why must you torture my daughter like that?! WHY?! I hate you! I hate you! Don't you dare hurt my daughter again! I will never forgive you for what you've done to her. I will never forgive you for hurting my daughter. Even an animal doesn't treat their own child the way you did! What did she do to you for you to treat her this cruelly? Wasn't she your daughter too? Why would you hurt her like that? What hurts me the most is that my own husband, her own biological father become the biggest pain in her life. She was meant to live a princess's life but look what you've done to her. I can never forgive you for what you've done to my daughter, Ale... "

At the end of the story, the father realised what he did. He comes to know the parents' love. But he was too late. He was never given a chance to redeem himself. He returned the necklace but knew that it wouldn't change anything. He lost the most precious thing in his life. He destroyed his life himself. He lost his last chance. He never got to see her again and that was his biggest punishment.

Alya never showed him her face again. He hated her face because it resembled her mother. He wanted to destroy it so she never showed him her face. He lived a very pitiful life where every single person he loved come to hate him even after his death. He lost his wife and daughter in foolishness.

When he got older and was on his deathbed, he finally saw her face the second time. His daughter was a naturally kind soul just like her mother. She sends him off with kind words.
