Love's Redemption by Khamya Rafiq (Series 1)

CHAPTER 1

It's a sunny day in Stallion Riding Club and the handsome Emir is leaning his back on his red Lamborghini Veneno Roadster that's being parked outside their villa. Beiron stood straight as he saw his pregnant wife Dr.Khamya Licerio-Rafiq walked out from the door.

"Finally! What took you so long?" he asked.

"I forgot where had I kept some of the papers I need to drop by on the lab, so I look for it." she said then dropped the folder inside her bag and walked towards where Beiron and his car waiting.

Beiron suddenly had a grim expression. "We had already discussed this, no work until 6 months after giving birth!"

"But I didn't agree to that!"

"It’s because it isn’t negotiable.” He said then gets himself inside the car, while Khamya frustratedly followed him. 

"You can't do this to me! It's my life!" she protested. 

"In which I am responsible of." Beiron said then started the engine. 

"But I know myself, I can handle this."

"And I know you."

"No you don't! Because if you do, you'll know how terrible for me to be strip with something important in my life." She said then looks away and faces the window.

Suddenly Beiron stopped the engine and hit the steering wheel. "I know you too well that I know you'll never stop working until you exhaust yourself!" he said the faced her. "And then what? Get yourself in the hospital again? How about our baby? For once, stop being selfish and think of your situation!"

Khamya was taken aback by his words but after few minutes she recovered. "I'm not selfish!"

"I know you're not but what you're doing right now is a hell of selfishness!"

"I'm just being concern of the Riding club, to my colleagues and to the humanity, just imagine the breakthrough of the society if this research succeeds. It's my research; I need to supervise this personally."

"Before thinking of your so called 'humanity', think first of that little human inside your womb!" He smirked then started the engine again.

This wasn't the first time they had an argument about Khamya's work ever since she got pregnant. Because of her dedication to her research, and Beiron's over protectiveness, they often fight and exchange some words they didn't mean to say.

After few minutes, Khamya arrived at the Stallion Riding Club's Laboratory which is owned by Mr. Reid Alleje and where she works as the head scientist of the Genetic department. She gets out from the car and walk straightly without looking back at Beiron.

//As much as it's hard to admit that I'm a little bit wrong, but not working for 6 months after giving birth doesn't make sense to me. I'll just have to supervise the team and not personally do the experiment, well maybe if it can't be help. But come on, it's not like I wanted to abandon our child, of course I'll take care of her, I'm her mom after all. Tsk!// In her thoughts.

As Khamya approached the premises of the Stallion Riding Club Laboratory, two guards immediately blocked her way. She tried to walk on the other side but the other guard blocked her way again. It irritated her so she faced him with a knotted forehead. "What's wrong with you? Why do you keep on blocking my way? I'm in a hurry! "

The guards just firmly stand with their serious faces, then the guard on the right side said, "I'm sorry ma'am but we can't allow you to go inside. It's a restricted area."

"You got to be kidding me! " Khamya replied then smirks. But the guards just stood there as if seeing nobody. "Both of you are ridiculous! If you're newbie then I'll introduce myself! I'm Dr.Khamya Rafiq and I work here as the head scientist of the Genetic department." She said while showing her I.D. to them. Both of the guards look at each other, then nod as if silently agreeing to something then all the more do their guardian stunt. "Hey! Don't you understand? I'm working here so you better get out of my way because you're starting to get on my nerves!" Khamya irritably said.
