Love's Redemption by Khamya Rafiq (Series 1)

Chapter 2

Khamya’s POV

Nang magising ako kaninang umaga, inani ko ang mga pinaggagawa ko nitong huling mga araw, ang magdamagan kong pag-iyak. Sobrang sakit ng katawan ko na para bang dinaganan ng bus, nanghihina din ako, at sobrang maga ng mga mata ko. Pero pinilit kong bumangon dahil kailangan kong kumain para sa anak ko kahit wala akong gana.

Nang nakababa ako sa kusina, mas lalo akong nalungkot sapagkat naramdaman kong nag-iisa nga lang ako sa malaking bahay na'to. Bawat sulok ng bahay na'to ay nagpapaalala sa'kin ng mga masasaya at mapapait na pinagdaanan namin ni Beiron, napahikbi ako ngunit ilang sandali ay pinilit kong magpakatatag sapagkat kawawa na ang anak namin sa pinag gagawa ko.

"I badly need a vacation para sa anak ko. Saan naman kaya ako pupunta? Ang alam ko lang, sa ngayon gusto kong lumanghap ng sariwang hangin."

I imagined myself at the shore, listening to the waves and the birds, breathing a fresh air. I sighed, "I think I know where I have to go." And that brought a smile on my face then hurriedly made breakfast for me and my baby.

Beiron’s POV

When Beiron got home in their mansion at Al Ashiq, he immediately look for his father but he didn't saw him but instead he's been greeted by his mother, Sheikha Anicia.

"Where's father?" asked without bothering of hiding his grief.

"There you are my son." She run towards her son and greeted him with open arms. "Look at you, have you seen your face on the mirror? You look terrible!"

"Mother, I don't have time for this, right now I need to see father." He said then rashly walks towards the office of his father while her mother followed him.

"You just got arrived Emir, have some snacks at least."

"Mother!" He grimly faced his mother. Anicia's appalled by her son's behavior, then she understood that no matter how she's trying to divert her son's attention to prevent a clash of her son and husband, the moment will still come for them to face each other.

"He's at the garden." Beiron immediately started walking when his mother speaks again.

"With some of your father's Sheik friends." anxiously said it.

"Great! Now they are really serious about this! Tsk!" Then Beiron hastily walk towards the garden.

After few minutes he reach the place and saw his father laughing with his friends. It angered him more so he imprudently approached them.

"Having tea party without the host?" Sarcastically address it to them.

"Oh! The Emir is here." said by the other sheikh with a gray mustache and brows.

"I see you're having fun turning my life into miserable one." I answered back sardonically. It silenced them and awkwardness is visible in their features. Then my father cleared his throat.

"Don't forget who are you talking with Emir Beiron." sternly said it.

"And don't forget that it's my life you're wrecking fa-...Sheikh Ahmadi." He said formally addressing his father since he realized this issue isn't just about having an emir but business and power.

"We didn't mean to destroy your family Emir Beiron, we just wanted to offer you more options and stabilize your life." interrupted by another sheikh who's wearing a fedora.

Beiron smirked when he heard that. "My wife is very mad at me not to mention she's about to give birth to my child in a month or so, Tsk! I could see my life as stable as it can be!"

"Since when we had become our wife’s subject? We are the pillar, we have the power, and women have no say on that!" said authoritatively by the sheikh with a blue turban.
