Part 38- His Queen

An unexpected smile appeared on her face which also made me do the same. She never smiled at me before. I'm glad I can see this side of her.

"Take care!" I exclaimed before she left.

"You guys are done?! Yes! My turn now!" Athena came in running to me.

"Ah...I'm so tired..." I pretended to see her reaction.

"Really? We could do other stuff too! Wanna try shooting? It's really easy as long as you aim perfectly and it's less tiresome" she suggested.

"I was just joking but...that sounds good! I'd like to try that" I agreed.

"Cool! Let's go then!" she joyed as I followed her out of the training room.

We trained for almost the whole day. At this point, my body was aching a bit as I'm not used to such excessive workouts.

Athena and I were in the resting area after showering and changing into normal clothes while sipping on some hot tea and sweets which was well deserved.

"Are you okay? I know you must be tired" Athena asked concerned.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine" I reassured her.

"I really hope we catch those bastards for once and for all...Boss is too stressed recently" she added.

"Is it really...bad?" I asked as she nodded in disbelief.

"They are too good. They lost a few members that were important to them...I just know that when they will properly attack...they won't spare any life..." she explained.

I can't help but feel extremely worried now. What if...something happens to Aslan?

I would never forgive myself. After all, they want me and he's doing everything to protect me.

"Don't worry too much though. I just wanted you to be aware but we are far from being losers. We will fight until our last breath no matter what" she said but that somehow only made me worry more.

Risking their lives...I don't know but it scares me. How do they do it without being afraid?

I pray that Allah always keep my husband and the people he cares about protected. I would never want any life to be lost by risk. I just pray. That they don't hurt themselves in any kind of way and that Allah helps them.

There's something about coming home to someone waiting for you. Something about being able to see them as pleased, something about knowing that your other half is always somewhere around you.

I get to work for him and with him. I get to see him at home, we are basically always together. And, I am not complaining. Every day, it's like I fall in love all over for him again. With or without the flaws, our love only gets deeper and deeper day by day.

Smiling like a fool at the thoughts of him filling my head, I was icing the cake that I was working on perfecting. I just felt like making something sweet today.

"Baby" Aslan came in the kitchen.

"I'm not a baby"  I replied keeping my attention on the cake.

"Are you making a cake for the love of your life?" he asked coming to me.

" myself, yeah" I said despite knowing the answer he was awaiting for.

Standing close behind me, he snaked his arms around my waist.

"You will ruin the cake Aslan-"

I stopped talking when he turned me around to face him.

"Look at you, getting yourself dirty like a kid" he said wiping my face.
