THE NEGLECTED ZAHRA DIAMOND

THE NEGLECTED ZAHRA DIAMOND
Chapter 37



That day Delia took Zahra to a small house in a densely populated neighborhood.


Both had to leave their cars in front of the alley because of the location of the house that could not be passed by a four-wheeled vehicle.


After walking for ten minutes Delia stopped her steps right in front of the house with light blue paint.


*Tok, tock, tock!!


Both of them were instantly stunned when they saw a young girl coming out of the house.


"Jumi???" zahra and Delia said at the same time.


It turns out that the owner of the house is Zalika's former nanny.


Jum who was surprised by the arrival of Zahra and Delia immediately invited them in.


Zahra who impatiently wanted to know the whereabouts of her daughter immediately searched for the whereabouts of Zalika.


"He's not here" said Jum, to Zahra's surprise


"Where is he now?" ask Zahra


"Today he decided to stay here while waiting for Mom to come pick him up, but this morning he asked me to take him to therapy in Cipete. He said he wanted to tell Mr. Mul, he wanted advice from his therapist," replied Jim


"Will he come back here?" ask Zahra


"Either, because he said it all depends on Mr. Mul's decision" replied Jum


Hearing Jum's reply made Zahra say goodbye and rushed to Zalika's therapy.


Upon arrival there he immediately hugged his daughter who had just come out of the therapy room.


"Alhamdulillah I can finally find you too dear," said Zahra so moved when she saw her daughter again


"Sorry Lika mah" said Zalika feeling guilty


When Zahra was about to take her daughter home suddenly some people in black-and-black uniforms immediately pulled Zalika and took her away.


"Where'd you take my daughter, let her go!" zahra tried to take back her daughter


He did not give up even though the man did not budge and continued to ignore him.


Zahra sought clarification on why the man had to take his daughter away.


He even stopped the man from taking his daughter away.


"Now you are no longer the guardian of Zalika, because the court has decided custody of Zalika fell into the hands of Dirga," said the man then left Zalika who still could not believe hear the man's words.


Delia immediately approached Zahra who was still gasping to see her daughter's departure.


"You better take action, this can't be allowed" Delia said, helping Zahra stand up


"What should I do?" zahra asked, looking uninspired.


"You better understand what you have to do, come on Za spirit!" delia tried to encourage him


"Can I bring him back, can I beat the Bahri family?" ask Zahra in tears


"Of course, nothing is impossible for a Zahra. You can even change people's skewed views of special needs children. You can even turn a special needs child into a diamond, let's prove that you are a strong woman who can defeat the Bahri family, and reclaim the custody of your daughter again" Delia replied


"You're right, I can't be a weak woman, I have to be a strong woman so I can get custody of my daughter again" Zahra clenched her hand


The woman then contacted Gading and met her lawyer. He intends to appeal the court's ruling that directed Zalika's custody to Dirga.


"Are you sure you're going to that house, didn't you promise not to set foot in that place again?" ask Dirga


"Now I have a reason to visit the Bahri family palace without breaking my promise" replied Zahra staring fixedly at Ivory


"You want to accompany me into that house, don't you?" ask Zahra


"Of course," Ivory immediately came down and opened the door for him


Zahra got out of the car and grabbed Ivory's arm as she entered the Bahri family's courtyard.


Bahri grinned when he saw the arrival of his former daughter-in-law.


"It looks like there's a loser trying to lick his own saliva" Bahri said


"No loser in the world dares to come to his enemy's lair, no, I'm the only loser who dares to do just that. And one more thing, I never licked my saliva because I came here on orders from the court to meet my daughter" Talita replied giving a letter from the court she brought to Bahri.


"I admit you're a genius Zahra, you're even good at using situations to keep your good name,"


Zalika immediately rushed in his mother's arms when she saw his arrival.


The two then chose to talk on the porch of the house.


"While you stayed here until you picked you up,"


"Good mah,"


"Remember ..you must not run away again just to meet your mother. You just have to send a letter to mama if you want to meet, do you understand?"


"Hmm," Zalika replied


"Will you come visit me here often?" ask Zalika


Zahra shook her head, "Maybe mamah will never come here again, I hope you will be a submissive child here,"


"I don't want to stay here mah" said Zalika sulking


"You must stay here for the sake of mama, if you want to stay with mama again, because that is all you can do," replied Zahra then passed away


Zalika immediately sobbed when she saw her mother leave her. He ran after her but Bahri's men caught her and kept the girl from chasing Zahra.


Seeing his daughter sobbing to take off his disappearance made Zahra's heart crumble. However he could not bear to leave him in that place, but he could not oppose the court's verdict.


Ivory immediately stopped his car and hugged Zahra who was sobbing.


"You have to be strong Za, I'm sure you can get through all this" said Gading trying to calm him down.


"It seems like your words are correct, no matter how rich I am, I will never win against the Bahri family. Even though I'm an independent woman who is well established and has some business is still considered unable to support Lika because the Bahri family has everything,"


"Then what's your plan?" tanya Ivory


"Marry me, make me as Ivory Lady Soeharso, I believe that we can get custody of Zalika," replied Zahra


Ivory nodded in agreement.


One week later Ivory held a press conference to announce his marriage to Zahra.


The news of course made the Bahri family began to fester, especially after they heard the news of the supreme court granting Zahra's appeal .


"She's really been beating the drums of war with us, she accidentally married the eldest son of the Soeharso family just to get custody of her son back, really sneaky!"
