SIGNING IN: BEING SHOWERED BY HEAVENLY BLESSINGS FOR FIVE YEARS-Chapter 1009 - 1006: ZARA’S UNDYING LOVE FOR AMIR
When they arrived at the sacred land, Amir’s family and the elders of the clan welcomed them. After all, their arrival wasn’t something that a single family could handle.
With only a few people admitted to the sacred land, all hands were on deck. And there was no time to play at all.
They had to search for the bracelet and gather all the ancient bracelets they could find so that when Zara woke up, she might find out which was which. And at the same time, they were filled with worry. What if she doesn’t wake up at all?
It was simply too much for everyone.
Thankfully, the two families became closer during that period, otherwise if they were cold to each other, then it might have been too much for everyone.
Time quickly tricked by and it was seven days ever since Zara fell into deep slumber. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
On this night, after racking through everywhere again, both families were gathered, stress overwhelming them though they were doing their best to not show it.
"In-laws, when this end. Let’s hold a grand holding for our children, what do you think?" Amir’s mother suggested as she looked at Cade and Lena with a smile.
In her eyes, although it didn’t look optimistic, her son and Zara were fated to be together.
Nothing and no one would be able to say otherwise.
Besides, she didn’t believe that Zara would meet her doom. With how far she had gone to defy her fate, wouldn’t it be a piece of cake to reach the end?
Besides, with everyone gathered and helping, she believed fully that one way or the other; it was going to be well. Even if it wasn’t supposed to go like that, she was going to make sure that it happened that way.
She had watched her son for over three decades, worried that her son would die alone. Now that his fate was here, she didn’t believe that the deities that they had worshipped all these generations would forsake her son.
Her son didn’t deserve such. So, Zara must wake up no matter what.
Hearing that Cade felt like fuming. However, with Selena and Lena next to him, he could only calm himself.
Although he had accepted the fact that the thief who hid his tail very well all this time would soon take his daughter, listening to the suggestion of a wedding didn’t sit well with him at all.
He didn’t even manage to play with his daughter to the fullest and yet these people wanted to steal her from him. How could he tolerate that?
Unfortunately, he wasn’t given the floor to speak as Lena answered on everyone’s behalf.
"Hehe, in-law, that would be great. Since the kids are already engaged, though, in an unexpected manner, the wedding is a must!" Lena didn’t see any qualms with marrying her daughter at all.
To think that she could even sit down and discuss weddings, she felt that it was a gift that the deities had given her.
At some point, she even thought that her daughter would be buried six feet down and yet there she was. Alive and kicking pretty well, although her life was still at risk. But wasn’t she alive?
Besides, Amir loved her daughter so much and her daughter felt the same. So why make things difficult?
They might as well get married.
Bianca was so happy when she heard that she automatically ignored the gloomy man by Lena’s side and began to chat happily about the wedding.
While the adults discussed that, Amir and Diamond were in Zara’s room where she slept peacefully on the bed with her hands crossed on her belly wearing a beautiful emerald gown.
With how pale her skin was, the emerald really suited her a lot.
"How is she?" Amir asked Diamond who was covering Zara with a blanket.
Diamond turned her head to look at Amir who only had eyes for Zara from day one and couldn’t help but feel envious. Nonetheless, she held her emotions in check as she responded, "She can wake up any second. Just keep an eye on her!"
Will her men be the same to her as well?
Amir upon hearing that, heaved a sigh of relief before thanking Diamond.
"Not a problem. I like her a lot!" otherwise if she didn’t, she would have tried to pursue him.
Amir was a fine man as well. The kind that made people like her waver a lot.
To stop her thoughts from going astray, Diamond excused herself, leaving Amir with Zara.
She might die of dog food if Zara wakes up while she is there.
Who knows how those two would get emotional?
----****----
Amir sat on the chair as he looked at Zara sleeping beautifully there without any signs of waking up.
Although he trusted Diamond, seeing how omnipotent she was, he couldn’t help but have doubts as well.
How was she sure that Zara would wake up?
It’s been a week, and there were no signs.
There wasn’t even a breakthrough regarding the bracelet issue. With her in a slumber like that, they were literally useless when it came to finding the relic.
Even if they got it, they wouldn’t know because this time there was no picture, no drawing whatsoever to use as reference and the one person who could identify wasn’t even awake.
It was too difficult for everyone, including him as well.
He just prayed to the goddess that she would help Zara and let her wake up before it was too late.
As he earnestly prayed like that, suddenly, Zara’s hands started moving.
Before he could react, her eyelashes started fluttering and at the speed they were moving, he was certain that just like Diamond said earlier; she was indeed going to wake up any second.
And that second happened to be now.
Looking at her with excitement written all over his face, Amir didn’t dare touch Zara but waited patiently for her to wake up naturally without any pressure.
Meanwhile, on Zara’s side, after watching the whole drama of Mir creating the pendant of eternity, she began to think hard about the bracelets that might mean a lot to her to the extent of becoming relics.
And since she still was locked in the dream space, she decided to use this chance to take a look at every single bracelet that she had seen ever since she started living at the temple.
Like a movie, Zara found herself traversing through time and this time, rather than concentrating on her heart-wrenching story of hers, her eyes were all on the jewelry that she had ever owned or rather saw in the temple.
After goodness how long, and when she was almost giving up since all the bracelets, she saw weren’t qualified to become relics.
She didn’t have any feelings towards them that were so strong and made her think that this was it.
When she was about to give up, suddenly she found herself recalling a certain memory.
The first time she was in the presence of the goddess. The day she was picked and chosen to become the saintess. The day her life changed. When the goddess changed her name, from Phoebe to Zahrah. A very meaningful day.
On that day, she could barely see the goddess’s face. It shined so brightly; it was so blinding.
However, her clothes were so beautiful, she couldn’t help but take a second glance.
Since she was able to see the clothes, she managed to see the jewelry on her body as well.
Rather than saying a bracelet, what she was an armlet- a vine armlet which was on the goddess’s arm and something about it caught her attention.
It looked simple to the eyes and yet at that moment she felt as if it emitted a strong energy, the kind she felt whenever the sick offered incense and prayers in her presence.
Was it faith energy?
She wasn’t sure. However, that armlet’s presence in her mind was simply so strong that it made her feel excited.
What if they were looking for an armlet and not a bracelet?
If everyone was searching according to that, then wouldn’t a lot of time be wasted?
With that in mind, she suddenly felt panicked that she wanted to wake up.
She didn’t know if the armlet the goddess once wore could be found in this mundane world but at this stage what wasn’t possible anymore?
She might as well believe that it was possible and give her a try.
If her thoughts were wrong, then rely on Diamond to find the exact location of the bracelet. There were still two tries before the deadline was reached, anyway.
With such urgency, Zara fought her way out of the dreamscape. After a long struggle, her eyes finally snapped open.
"Amir!" and the first person she saw was him, she couldn’t help but call out to him sweetly, her eyes oozing with affection and tears unconsciously falling as she recalled how hard it was for him in their first lives.
What did she do to deserve such a man?
Amir was happy and then confused upon seeing Zara’s changing emotions in such a short period.
He couldn’t help but swiftly move to the bed where he scooped her in his arms and coaxed softly, his tone very reassuring, "Baby, everything is fine. I am here"
He didn’t know what she saw when she was sleeping but whatever it was, he must have been there in it and it wasn’t anything good.
Zara sniffled as she snuggled in his arms, rubbing her face all over, making sure that she was no longer dreaming.
Amir chuckled lightly seeing what she was doing and just let her play to her heart’s content.
After reassuring herself that this was definitely not a dream, Zara raised her small face and looked at Amir, the man who had loved her loyally in both lives and never wavered.
"I love you!" and attacked suddenly, catching Amir completely off-guard.
