Chapter 16As time went by, the relationship between Sofiah and Matin became closer.“Will you be free tomorrow?” Matin asked Sofiah with a wide smile.“I'm not a free item,” she replied with a nonchalant face.His smile faded, replaced with an annoyed expression.“I'm serious okay,” he said with a glare.“I'm also serious,” she replied, playfully.He chuckled softly as he moved closer and looked at her in the eyes.“Alright. Let me rephrase it. Do you have free time tomorrow?" he asked her again.“Give me three reasons why I have to waste my time on you,” she said with a challenging look.“You're testing my patience now, Fiya,” he replied through clenched teeth. She just gave him a perplexed look while crossing her arms over her chest.He took a deep breath before answering her. “I want to go out with you, I want you to go out with me and I want us to go out together. T
Chapter 17Sofiah got one week off from her job and she decided to join Mazid for a polo tournament in Spain.She was sitting and staring blankly outside the window of the plane when there was a stranger with a face mask and a cap sat beside her.She realised he must be her seat partner along the journey. But then, she smelled and recognized a familiar cologne.She decided to turn around and eyed that stranger. She absolutely knew that stranger.“What are you doing here? Are you following me?” she asked while narrowing her eyes at that stranger.“Do you know me?” the stranger replied with puzzled eyes.She chuckled as she moved her face closer to him.“Stop playing a joke, Matin. I know it's you,” she whispered, mockingly.“Haish! You're no fun!” He rolled his eyes in annoyance as his disguise was revealed.“Once again, what are you doing here?” she asked while stealing his cap.“
Chapter 18“Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to Matin and Mazid, Happy birthday to you.”Their birthday party was held at the boy's villa. Sofiah approached Matin who was watching Danny and Jennifer sing a few songs.“At last, we could have a peaceful birthday party,” she said with a grin, remembering the memory during high school where they always bickered and ruined each other’s cakes. “Yeah, at last,” he replied, grinning from ear to ear.Flashback“Did you throw this cake at me?!!!” Sofiah got mad when Matin suddenly threw a piece of cake to her face.“I did. So what?” he said, unbothered.She then threw a piece of cake at him.He threw back the cake at her.And they had a cake fight with each other. The others who were seeing this tried to calm the situation.“Guys, please stop!” Mazid tried to stop the fight by standing in the middle of them.“M
Chapter 19After coming back from Spain, Sofiah and Matin still didn’t talk to each other. Today, they both had rescue training at the air base and throughout the training, he ignored her. What's wrong with him? Did I do something wrong? She kept thinking.After the training had finished, she tried to start a conversation with him.“Captain, we need to talk,” she said while chasing him.But he just walked and ignored her.“Captain, you heard me.” He ignored her.“Matin!!!” she cried out his name.He finally stopped walking and turned around to look at her.“I'm not in a good mood right now. So, stop following me,” he said coldly and turned to continue walking.“Why do you ignore me? Did I do something to upset you?” she asked in a sad voice.He remained silent.“Ignore me again? Why won't you talk to me? How can you be so cold towards me?” She bombarded him wit
Chapter 20“Dad, why did you ask Matin to marry Sofiah?” Mazid asked His Majesty, frowning.“They love each other. It's better to unite both of them as soon as possible,” His Majesty replied.“No! I don't think they love each other. Only Matin loves Sofiah. Please cancel their marriage, dad,” he said in a pleading voice.“Why did you say that?! Sofiah agreed to marry Matin. She even gave him a chance to win her heart. They have mutual feelings!” His Majesty said, looking slightly mad at his son’s rudeness.“I love her, dad. I can't let her marry Matin. They are enemies and they won't last. Let me replace Matin. I want to marry her,” he said, looking determined to stop this marriage.“Don't talk nonsense! How could you do that to your brother?! Sofiah is going to be your sister-in-law no matter what! Please accept this and stop your feelings for her!” His Majesty raised his voice at him.Mazid shook his head in disbelief.&
Chapter 21 The solemnization was attended by the male members of the royal family, ministers and religious officers. Sofiah was represented by her father and her brother.Matin was sitting calmly on the groom seat and in front of him was the solemnizer, who was giving a sermon about the marriage.Once the solemnization was going to take place, Sofiah's father, Major General Abdullah sat in front of him to perform the solemnization.Major General Abdullah held Matin's hand to start the solemnization.“I give you the hand of my daughter in marriage, Her Highness Sofiah Binti Abdullah with the mahr one thousand dollars.”“I accept the hand of Her Highness Sofiah Binti Abdullah in marriage with the mahr one thousand dollars.”With that, Matin and Sofiah were officially husband and wife.When Matin shook hands with his father-in-law, Major General Abdullah had a word with him.“I give my one and only daughter to you
Chapter 22Sofiah opened up her eyes after hearing her phone alarm, signalling that it’s already morning.She gasped in surprise when she found that she was hugging Matin.She quickly pulled her hands away from him and lifted the quilt to see if he had done something bad during her sleeping.Thank god that we're wearing full clothes. A sigh escaped her mouth as she felt relief.She turned her head to the sleeping Matin beside her.I still couldn't believe that I married him. She was smiling like a crazy woman right now while staring at his sleeping figure.I prefer his sleeping figure. At least, he won’t annoy me in this state.She then snapped from her thought and got off the bed to take a shower.After taking shower, she crawled back to the bed.“It's morning. Wake up.” She shook his body.“Wake up.” She repeated before kicking his legs since he seemed to be unbothered.
Chapter 23After they shared their first kiss, both of them were staring at each other with Matin placing both his hands on the counter and trapped Sofiah.She was still flustered at his sudden kiss and unable to think straight. Her heart was beating so fast and she could barely breathe.“W-W-What was that?” Finally, she found her voice to speak out.He caressed her cheek with a smile and replied, “That's called a kiss. Or we call our first kiss.”She blinked a few times looking blankly at the floor. Then, she realised that he had stolen her first kiss.“Do you like it?” he asked, cautiously.She looked up at him and blurted out, “I never dreamed of having a first kiss in the kitchen.”He chuckled when he realised that she was unhappy with the location of their first kiss.“Then, where are we supposed to have a first kiss in your dream? Is it in the bed?” he asked with a naughty grin.She shrugged
Chapter 42“WHAT??!!!!”“YOU AND CAPTAIN MIRA??!!!!”“YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CRAZY!!!”Sofiah was freaking out after learning about the sudden wedding news of Captain Mira and her big brother, Iskandar.“Love, please calm down. Maliq would wake up if you keep screaming like this,” Matin said, trying to calm the situation.Sofiah turned her cold gaze towards Matin and asked, “Did you know about this?”“I… I…,” he stuttered. “Did you know about this?” she asked again with a cold voice.He let out a big sigh and replied, “Honestly, I know.”“Why didn't you tell me?” She glared at him.“It's better if your brother tells you,” he replied, reaching for her hand to console her.Sofiah glared at him for a moment before turning her cold gaze back to her brother.“And you, brother. How could you do this to me?” she asked, coldly.“I did what?” Iskandar asked,
Chapter 41Sofiah had given birth to a baby boy named Prince Maliq Shakil. Matin was very happy because the little prince looked more like him.Now, the little prince was 8 months.“Maliq, say ‘daddy’,” Matin said to his son.His son just looked at him without saying anything.“Say 'daddy'.”The little prince was trying to say something but the sounds that came out were just random gibberish.Then, the front door of their penthouse opened and Sofiah just came back from work. Matin still didn't realise it and asked for his son to call him 'daddy'.Sofiah just chuckled at his behaviour. “Are you still trying to make him call you 'daddy'?” she asked.“He already called you 'ma'. I want it too!” he replied in a sad tone.Sofiah walked to her son and teased him by giving him a lot of kisses. “Poor daddy. Try to say 'da'.” Sofiah was trying to teach her son.But the little prince just
Chapter 40 It has been two weeks and the real culprit still hasn't caught. Every day the royal guards would guard the hospital and also the air base. Sofiah felt quite exhausted with the guards following her around.She was just coming out from the toilet on the ground floor of the hospital, but then she was caught off guard when someone made her faint and dragged her out without people noticing it.“Have you seen Princess Sofiah?” one of her bodyguards asked a nurse.“An hour ago, she was here but she excused herself to the toilet,” the nurse answered.“Thank you.”The guards were looking for her but she wasn't around. “Sir, I have bad news,” a guard called Matin.“What is it?”“We lost Princess Sofiah. She isn't around the hospital and her phone is off.”“What?!!!!” His face suddenly turned pale at the news.“We're very sorry.”“Have you checked the CCTV footage?” Matin ask
Chapter 39Mazid was rushed to the hospital and Sofiah was also checked by the doctor. Fortunately, she and the baby were fine.But she was still trembling and shocked by what had happened. She looked down with teary eyes and saw that her clothes were covered with the red blood of Mazid. Aziz, Amin, Danny and Sean came to the hospital as soon as they got the news.“Fiya! Are you okay?” Sean kneeled in front of her.She just nodded her head, still crying.“Shh. Everything is gonna be fine. Your baby is fine, right?” Sean asked, worriedly.She nodded again while wiping the tears.Amin kneeled beside her and said, “About Mazid, he's strong. He's going to be okay.”“It's... It's.” She sobbed, tears were rolling down her cheeks. “It's my fault.”“It's not your fault. If I was there, I would do the same for you. We won't let anything happen to you and your baby,” Sean said, trying to calm her.
Chapter 38Sofiah was 4 months pregnant and Matin had been a very good husband. He always asked her what she’s craving, cooked for her and also cleaned the house.After their last misunderstanding, Matin put a distance between him and Captain Mira. He forbade her from disturbing him and Sofiah.Flashback“I warn you from disturbing Lieutenant Sofiah and my life. If you disobey, I do not hesitate to use my power as the son of His Majesty to drop you out of the military. Got it?!” Matin said, threatening her.Captain Mira was about to say something but he cut her.“I don't want to hear anything from your dirty mouth. Get lost!”End of flashback“Love, Dad asked me to follow him to Bangkok next week for three days. Are you okay being alone? Or if you want to stay at your parents' house, I give you permission,” Matin said, hugging Sofiah.“I'm totally fine. It’s just for three days,” she replied, smili
Chapter 37Matin was worried about Sofiah's condition and he finally asked the squad to help him looking for Sofiah.He called Danny to get an update.“Danny, have you found her?” he asked, anxiously.“Not yet. But I will keep looking for her,” Danny replied, trying to calm him.Then, he called Aziz.“Aziz, have you found her?” he asked.“Not yet. I asked every hotel, but no information about her,” Aziz replied.He started losing his mind. He even went to his parents-in-law’s house but Sofiah wasn't there. Finally, he decided to ask his brother-in-law for his help.“Bro, I need your help. Has Sofiah called you? Do you know where she is? I'm very worried about her condition,” Matin said in a depressing tone over the phone.“Calm down. What happened to her?” Iskandar asked.“She fell during the training and we almost… we almost lost our baby,” he said, still feeling guilty.
Chapter 36The next day, they had rescue and emergency training. Sofiah didn’t have a choice and attended the training.“Morning, pity woman,” Captain Mira approached Sofiah with a mocked face.“Morning, plastic,” Sofiah replied, sarcastically.Captain Mira chuckled and said, “You know what? I'm eager to know what your punishment is. Matin must prepare an interesting punishment for you. See ya.”She was about to walk but suddenly, Sofiah tripped her feet, causing her to stumble and kneel in front of her.Sofiah pretended to be shocked and said, “Oh! Captain, what are you doing? Do you want to apologise for being a bitch?”Captain Mira looked up at her with a glare and Sofiah happily stuck her tongue out. Matin out of nowhere walked towards them.“Sofiah,” he called her, gently.She turned around to look at him and gave him the sweetest smile ever.“Love!” Sofiah squealed happily,
Chapter 35“Thanks a lot, Aziz,” Sofiah thanked him, getting out of the car.“No problem. Fiya, please settle this problem in a good way, okay. Don't fight with each other,” Aziz advised her, gently.She only nodded a little.As she walked inside the penthouse, she grabbed a few of her belongings into the bag. She left a note for Matin and walked out of the penthouse.Iskandar couldn’t believe his eyes when seeing his sister in front of his house.“What brings you here?” he asked, furrowing his brows.“Is that how you greet your lovely little sister?” Sofiah said coldly, walking inside the house without waiting for his invitation.“I'm surprised at your sudden show-up. But what with the bag? Where is Matin?” he asked, dumbfounded.“I don't want to talk about him. By the way, I want to live here for a few days,” she stated, crossing her arms.“What?!!” “And I don't take no as an a
Chapter 34Lately, Matin always came home late at night. When she called him, he didn’t pick up her call. Matin just came back home late at night again and Sofiah was waiting for him in the living room.“Where have you been? I called you but you didn't pick it up,” she asked with a stern face.He was still in his military uniform and looking a little bit tired.“I’ve just finished my training. Fiya, can you please give me some freedom? Nowadays, I feel like I'm being controlled,” he replied, looking annoyed.She couldn’t believe his reaction and said, “Controlled? When a wife texts or calls her husband, it isn’t being called control, it’s called caring!”He let out a big sigh and replied, “Fiya, listen to me.”But she cut him and said, “No! You listen to me. I’m not calling or texting you all the time. I just wanted to ask for an update from you! Is that hard to answer me?!”He closed his eyes for
