THE NEGLECTED ZAHRA DIAMOND

Chapter 30

"I know you must be very upset because Delia's done hurt Zalika. But this is not how to repay him. If you do this then you're the same as Delia. And you're also going to make Zalika even sadder about having to part from you if you really kill her" Ivory said, then took the knife from her hand

He then hugged her tightly to dampen the emotions within the woman. Meanwhile, seeing Zahra start to let loose, Delia immediately ran away from the place.

"Trust me everything will be fine. I promise I'll finish it all" Gading added

The man rubbed Zahra's tears that began to pool in her eye sockets.

Zahra deliberately told her daughter not to go to school to keep her feelings.

He does not want if the child gets unpleasant behavior from his friends because of yesterday's events.

Instead of not going to school, Zahra actually brought her daughter to go to therapy, so that she was calmer and controlled again like before.

Because he had to focus on looking after Zahra he was forced to ask for a teaching leave. Because it's so traumatized that I didn't dare to open my phone for two days.

But that day he dared to open his phone in order to inform Ivory about his condition and also his daughter.

"Do you know today's news?" tanya Ivory

"What news?"

"You better see for yourself, I want you to see it so that you can encourage Zalika with news about her" replied Gading

Zahra immediately checked the news online, he was amazed to see the news about the figure of his daughter who became the headline news on every online news channel.

"How could they forget about yesterday's events, and write like that as if Zalika was a hero?" ask Zahra

Zahra couldn't believe what she saw. He saw no more negative news about his daughter.

Even when he was looking for uploads uploaded by Delian was no longer there.

All the online media reported about Zalika's achievements and positive things about the little girl. Of course it made Zahra so moved to see him.

Why has everyone changed, who has changed people's skewed views of my daughter?

"It was because of the words of Mr. Hasan who always convinced everyone if Zalika did all that was not because of the influence of the food he ate. Even he has controlled himself and saved your good name by painting his reasons for doing all that" replied Ivory

He told me that the painting of Zalika in the exhibition was what saved him. The little girl was trying to tell the world how cruel people out there treat special needs kids like her. He also told how the struggle of parents who have special needs children in protecting their children. Even though Zalika is his mother, everyone is beginning to understand what it is like to have a special needs child.

Through his paintings, Zalika also conveyed his feelings to the world that he also wanted to be treated the same as other children his age. Although he is different but as a growing child he also has the same right to live happily.

Zahra wept bitterly when she learned of the deep meaning in her daughter's painting. He did not think that Zalika was a sensitive child to be able to know how his heart was all this time.

I'm sorry son, I'm sorry I haven't been a good mother to you?

Ivory then invites Zahra to meet Mr. Harry in his gallery.

Upon arrival at the place Zahra immediately expressed his gratitude to the man who had helped his daughter.

"Why do you thank me, I have never done anything for Zalika, it is Zalika herself who has succeeded in changing the views of people who consider lowly children with special needs with her paintings. So you'd better thank him" Harry replied

"But still, without your help telling the meaning of the painting everyone wouldn't know, would they??"

""""""""""”

Knowing the public no longer bullied her daughter, the next day Zahra allowed her to return to school.

He was so surprised by the reaction of his friends who immediately embraced him when he entered the classroom.

They did not even bring up the incident at the painting exhibition or the upload of Delia who deliberately humiliated the little girl.

That day Jessi also continued to provide motivation and support to Zalika for what happened with her.

"Thank God, now everyone has understood my daughter and is willing to accept what she is" Zahra said so moved when she saw the treatment of Zalika's classmates

He shed his tears.

"Hopefully today's events will make you more mature Lika,"

In the morning Ivory took Zahra and her daughter to see her mother.

He was so surprised to learn that Ivory parents wanted to make Zalika a brand ambassador for their toy products.

"It is time for Zalika to show her talent, I want to silence all those who have always looked down on her and made fun of her. Hopefully this can help Zalika in socializing with the wider environment" said Zulaikha

"Thank you Mother for your concern, I'm so lucky to have met such a nice person like you,"

Zahra then allowed her daughter to shoot as a model.

Unexpectedly the emergence of Zalika in the entertainment world made the company's shares immediately skyrocketed with sales of goods that doubled.

Now Zalika is not only a brand ambassador of children's toy products, he even often wara-wiri on national television shows to be a guest star of variety shows.

Zalika's success in raising the share price of the Ivory family company made the Bahri family envious.

Bahri continued to persuade his wife to go to Zahra for help.

He wants to do the same with Zulaikha to raise the stock price of the Bahri Group which is falling.

He believes with positive sentiment towards Zalika will be able to boost the same price of the company in order to rise again.

But Merry refused. Although he acknowledged his granddaughter's greatness, his pride and shame made him reluctant to meet Zahra.

"If you continue like this then our company can be liquidated for a long time or can change ownership because of the continued decline in the share price of our company. You'd better lower your ego a little bit for the sake of our company, do you want to see the company we've started from scratch have to change hands and become someone else's?" Bahri

"Why don't you just go see Zahra, why should I, you know if I've banned her from setting foot in our company, should I lick my own spit!" merry exclaimed with shame
