FOREVER WITH YOU

Chapter 94: Malika

Tasleem looked up at him in surprise before a shy smile appeared on her lips. "Thank you." She said and picked up a piece of fruit and took a bite.

Nuab watched them with a faint smile.

After dinner, Tasleem and her mother went into one of the bedrooms upstairs. They talked for a long time. Queen Zaira listened to every little thing Tasleem told her, unwilling to let the night end.

Eventually, exhaustion caught up with Tasleem and she finally drifted off to sleep.

Queen Zaira watched her for a moment, a soft smile touching her lips. She gently pulled the blanket over Tasleem before quietly leaving the room and closing the door behind her.

She returned to her own bedroom. She stood by the door for a few seconds and walked to the bed and sat on the edge of the bed.

She had been holding back her emotions all this time. Tears slowly slipped down her cheeks.

She wiped them away, but more followed.

When king Sultan stepped out of the bathroom. He saw her sitting on the bed with tears streaming down her face.

He sighed and walked over, sitting beside her. "What is it?" He asked gently.

"Did you know how much our daughter suffered?" She whispered, her voice trembling. "She suffered all these years, Sultan. They took my child away from me just for her to suffer." She covered her face as another sob escaped her lips. "What have we done to deserve this?"

King Sultan's heart ached at the sight of his wife. He gently rubbed her back. "Zaira, stop crying," he softly said. "Isn't she back to us now?"

"She is," Queen Zaira whispered. "But that doesn't erase everything she went through."

"I know."

Queen Zaira looked at him. "I will never forgive them," she said, her voice filled with pain and anger. "Whoever took our child from us must pay. I want justice for my daughter. I don't care how you do it, Sultan. You must find whoever took our child away from us."

"I promise you," He said.

Queen Zaira stared at him.

"Now that there is a new lead after all these years, we will definitely find the culprit," he continued. "We won't stop until we know who was responsible." He assured her. "You have my word."

She took a shaky breath and nodded.

"It's late. You've cried enough." He gently wiped a tear from her cheek. "Our daughter is finally home. We have all the time in the world to make up for the years we lost. And we will be grandparents soon." He said to cheer her up.

A smile appeared on her face.

"It's late, go and freshen up," he said.

"Okay." She slowly stood up and walked into the bathroom.

IN THE MORNING...

After the family of four had finished breakfast, King Sultan summoned the rest of the family to the palace.

Not long after, the sound of cars approaching could be heard outside. One by one, the family members arrived and made their way into the grand living room.

Their gazes immediately fell on Tasleem, who sat quietly beside Queen Zaira. Shock and disbelief were written across their faces. Some exchanged confused glances, while others simply stared, unable to comprehend what they were seeing.
