Bahlam Feeki

Chapter 80

"This is not a good idea queen Bashar." Ibrahim said while letting out a sigh. Ibrahim was Aahils ' right-hand man' before he never had one...didn't see a need for one but after all that has happened, he finally appointed one.

" and why would this not be a good idea I understand there's culture and traditions that are meant to be upheld but this...this is outdated," I said while pointing at one of the many outdated laws while I pat Kalila's bottom trying to keep her calm in the baby sling.

" it may be outdated but it is not harming anyone." I rubbed my temples. This is what our lives have been like. Not even the queen who has just given birth not too long ago could lay down in her own bed to heal... Aahil was pulled away to a meeting in a bordering country to assess the trade.

He fought extensively hard to have the meeting done over the phone or video call but they refused. Which meant I was left by myself with both babies...he tried to take Nasim but logically it wouldn't work out. Neither of them take formula and the breast milk wouldn't last him not in this heat.

Ibrahim looked up at me with a sympathetic look and let out a sigh. " look we don't have to handle these rules and regulations today they can be done once King Bashar gets back you clearly have your hands full..."  I shook my head. This needs to get done today because I'm not coming back in the office

" no I am already here this gets done today." Soon as he was about to speak the wails from my son interrupted him. He gave me a sympathetic look before I walked over to the basement I carefully switched Kalila to the sling that was on my back and draped a reviver blanket covering my chest. I sat down at the edge of the chair and latched Nasim onto me.

I looked up letting out a sigh only to find Ibrahim looking away awkwardly. I cleared my throat "What other matters need to be addressed." He hesitated to look back at the documents that were on the table.

" queen Bashar maybe we should wait ti-"

" Ibrahim if you suggest I wait till after he's done feeding the answer is no... they are calm now so we work now come on!" This was ridiculous he's acting as if he's never seen a woman nurse their child before  I don't even have my breasts out everything is covered!

"It's not that....it's just...well" he cleared his throat and I raised a brow.
" do you need  some sort of permission from my husband is that why you are acting this way?"

" it's just that I am not used to such act let alone the queen doing it in my presence I feel like I'm intruding." I nodded and let out a sigh.

" ok, I'll call him up so we can finish this work."   Pulled my phone out gestured for him to call Aahil and put it on speaker

The phone didn't even ring three times. "is everything alright?" Be asked in a worried tone.

" yes, everything is alright my love. I'm here with Ibrahim sorting some old laws out- actually I called because he seeks permission to be here."

" permission why would he need my permission to be near you?"

" I'm currently nursing Nasim, covered of course but Ibrahim feels as if he shouldn't be here." Aahil hummed in the other line.

" All right put him on"

" already done you're on speaker." He chuckled lowly but quickly spoke.

" Ibrahim?"  He instantly sat up straight and moved closer to the phone. " yes sir?"

"You have a wife no?"

" yes sir..."

" and a daughter?"
"Yes sir."
