THE NEGLECTED ZAHRA DIAMOND

Chapter 36

Zahra continues down the slums inhabited by homeless people and homeless people.

He even asked them about his daughter. But no one had ever seen his daughter in the area.

Unable to find Zalika, Zahra returned empty-handed.

He then approached Zalika's room and tried to find clues there. He was disappointed when he found nothing there.

"Actually where you are, son, do you know what it's like to be mad when you can't find you,"

In the morning, Zahra accidentally fails to attend the trial in search of her daughter. Although he had reported Zalika's loss to the police, he could not remain silent when his daughter disappeared.

"Have left everything to the police, the most important thing now is that you come to court to win Zalika's custody. Because it's useless if you look for Zalika but after he met he was taken care of by others" said Gading

"You're right, but at least I've been trying to find my daughter and make sure she's okay, that's a mother's instinct" Zahra replied

"Just let them try to seize custody, I don't care what matters to me right now is finding my daughter, do you know what it's like to lose your only baby?" asked Zahra with a huffed face

Ivory just shook his head, "I know it must be very painful" said Ivory then hugged Zahra tightly

"You even forgot to eat because you think too much about your daughter" he added

Ivory then took Zahra to a restaurant.

"Now eat a lot. Remember.you need a lot of manpower to find Zalika,"

The woman nodded and immediately ate the dish in front of her.

Not long after the phone rings, "Hello Bu Jessi, what's the need?" ask Zahra

"Would Mom come to school soon, I have something to tell my mom about Lika,"

"Well ma'am, I'm going there right now" Zahra immediately turned off her phone and prepared to leave. But Ivory immediately held him.

"Finish the meal, lest you get sick just for not eating, you must stay healthy in order to find your daughter,"

Hearing Ivory's words made Zahra sit back and finish her meal.

Ivory then escorted the woman to Zalika's school. Upon arrival there they immediately headed to the teacher's room to meet Miss Jessi.

Jessi then shows a message sent by an unknown number claiming to be Zalika.

"So Lika was at her friend's house?" ask Zahra

"Right, but it seems like the friend Lika was referring to was not her classmate. Because I asked all the first graders and they said Lika wasn't at her house" Jessi replied

"Where are your friends?"

"Did Lika have any close friends in her neighborhood or in her therapy area?" ask Missi

Zahra immediately shook her head, "She has no close friends, I know that she is an introvert and difficult to get along with, so where might she have friends" said Zahra

"Then why don't you just call that number, I'm sure that way you can find out where Lika is" said Gading

"Certainly,"

Zahra immediately contacted the number, but several times he contacted him always rejected by the owner of the number.

"Always in reject" said Zahra

"Fix, he's trying to hide your daughter's whereabouts, I'm sure Lika's trying to tell Missi because she knows the kidnapper won't call you" Gading replied

He immediately said goodbye to Jessi's mother and hurried away. Zahra believes the person who kidnapped her daughter is Delia. He then invited Ivory to meet Delia at his residence.

Upon arrival at the Delia residence, Zahra immediately barged in looking for her daughter's whereabouts.

"Where are you boys!" zahra exclaimed as she inspected every room of Delia's house.

Delia who was upset that Zahra was being disrespectful by ruffling her house tried to stop her.

"Please stop ruffling my house because your daughter's not in my house!" hardik Delia's

Zahra immediately turned her body and looked at Delia.

"If she's not in this house then where are you hiding my daughter?" ask Zahra

"Don't be crazy, even though I hate you but I won't kidnap Zalika. I don't want to deal with the Bahri family" Delia said

"If you didn't kidnap Zalika then who did!"

"You should know best, who hates you the most" Delia replied

Zahra immediately drowned when she could not find Zalika in the residence of Delia.

"I know you must be very frustrated right now, you'd better focus on your trial for now, I'm sure they purposely used the moment of Zalika's disappearance to make you weak until they managed to get what they wanted from you - Zalika's custody. I know they really want their granddaughter who has been dumped so far to boost the stock price of the company that is down. They want to take public sympathy by publicizing that they want to accept their special needs granddaughter" Delia said

"Why did you tell me this?" ask Zahra

"Take that as an apology from me because I betrayed you in the past" Delia replied

"How do you know all this?" look at Zahra

"As the daughter-in-law of the Bahri family, I know my position is always threatened at any time which is why I am always introspective and intercept everything they talk about. But unfortunately after I was evicted from the house, they found all the surveillance equipment that I had installed to find out their movements" said Delia

"In this case I will side with you, I will help you as much as I can to get Zalika custody" he added

"Why??" ask Zahra

"Because I know only you can stand against the family's pride, if you win Zalika's custody then I'm happy to see them destroyed" Delia replied

"Then help me find my daughter" Zahra said

"Hmmm, it is impossible for a genius child like Zalika to be kidnapped by someone, he is too clever to escape and come back to you, I'm sure this is not kidnapping," Delia replied making Zahra stunned

"True, there's no way Zalika would have told Jessi that she's okay. But if she's not kidnapped then where is she?" zahra hatch

Delia then told him about Zalika when she always told him to eat chocolate because he wanted to mess up the art painting exhibition at that time.

He then told her that Zalika always went to a place where the little girl always gave some of her provisions to a little girl.

"Did he have any friends?" zahra asked, turning her eyes

"It seems so, but he always forbade me from coming when he came into the house,"

"Do you know where the house is?"

"Of course" said Delia

"Then take me there now,"
