Home, Sweet Home

Narration:-Return to the Polariga Kingdom –

The world around Ahmed shimmered like golden dust, swirling in a vortex of light. His heart raced as he closed his eyes, feeling his tiny body being pulled through space and time. The sensation was nauseating, like riding a rollercoaster that twisted in every direction.

Then, suddenly, his feet touched solid ground. The dizziness faded, and he opened his eyes to find himself standing in the grand hall of the Polariga Kingdom.Tall marble pillars lined the room, adorned with golden vines that sparkled under the soft glow of chandeliers. The polished floor reflected his tiny seven-year-old form, his black hair a mess, and his oversized robes trailing behind him.

Before he could take a step, a familiar voice echoed through the hall."Clayra!"

Ahmed's heart skipped a beat. He turned just in time to see Momma Dushees Clayra rushing toward him, her golden hair flowing like silk behind her. Her emerald eyes were wide with worry, tears shimmering at the corners.She dropped to her knees, wrapping her arms around him and pulling him into a tight embrace."Oh, Clayra! Where have you been? I was searching for you all day!" 😭💔Her voice trembled, her shoulders shaking as she buried her face in his hair."I thought something terrible had happened to you..." 😭💦

Ahmed's heart sank. Guilt washed over him as he felt her tears soaking his shoulder.He opened his mouth to speak, but his voice caught in his throat. What could he possibly say? He had just returned from a fifteen-day adventure in another world... but here, only a day had passed.

"Hey, sweet pie..."The mischievous voice echoed in his mind, breaking the silence.Ahmed's eyes widened as he realized the Wicked Malware System was speaking to him telepathically.

"Fifteen days on Murim equals one day here, so don't look so shocked." 😈🌀Ahmed's jaw dropped. "Wait... so I was only gone for a day?!" 😳💫

The System's voice giggled in his mind."Yep. I hope you didn't forget that I control time and space." 😈⏳

Ahmed gritted his teeth, his tiny fists trembling."This is all your fault! You never told me about the time difference!" 😡💢

The System's laughter echoed in his mind."Aww, don't be mad, sweet pie. You were having so much fun, I didn't want to ruin it." 😈🎶

Ahmed's face turned bright red. He wanted to yell, to scream at the annoying System... but the warmth of Momma Clayra's embrace melted his anger away.Her voice trembled as she whispered,"You're safe... Thank the heavens..." 😭💖

Ahmed's heart tightened. He wrapped his tiny arms around her, his head resting on her shoulder."I... I'm sorry, Momma... I didn't mean to worry you..." 😔💧

Clayra's grip tightened, her voice shaking."Promise me... Promise me you won't disappear again." 😭💔

Ahmed felt a lump in his throat. He closed his eyes, his voice barely a whisper."I promise... I'll never leave you again." 😔❤️

A soft cough broke the emotional moment. Ahmed looked up to see the twin sisters, Lili and Liza, standing nearby, their identical faces filled with relief.Lili wiped a tear from her eye, her voice trembling."You really scared us, Princess... We thought... we thought we lost you." 😢💧

Liza sniffled, her hands trembling as she clutched her apron."I-I even prayed for your safety... I don't think I've ever prayed so hard in my life." 😢🙏

Ahmed's heart sank. He had never realized how much his absence would hurt them.He looked up at Momma Clayra, her emerald eyes shimmering with love and relief.He felt his own eyes grow wet as he whispered,"I'm... I'm home, Momma... I'm finally home." 😢❤️

The sun set over the Polariga Kingdom, painting the sky in hues of pink and orange.Ahmed sat in his bedroom, the soft glow of candles casting flickering shadows on the walls.He leaned against his pillow, his tiny form sinking into the oversized bed.His eyes were heavy, his body exhausted from the emotional reunion.

But his mind refused to rest. He stared at his tiny hands, his fingers trembling as he whispered,"Why... Why am I still in this tiny form?" 😔💫

A familiar giggle echoed through his mind."Why? Because you look adorable, that's why." 😈🎶

Ahmed's face turned bright red. He jumped to his feet, his tiny fists shaking."This is all your fault, System! Give me back my old form! I want to be 29 again! I want to be an adult!" 😡💢

The System's laughter grew louder."Oh? And why would I do that? You're so much more fun to tease like this." 😈😆

Ahmed's shoulders slumped. He sank to his knees, his face buried in his hands."I... I hate this... I hate being tiny... I hate this childish body..." 😔💧His voice trembled as tears filled his eyes."Why did this have to happen to me...?" 😢💔

The System's voice softened, her tone gentle."Hey... Don't cry, sweet pie. It doesn't suit you." 😈❤️

Ahmed looked up, his tear-filled eyes shimmering in the candlelight.He wiped his face, his voice trembling."I... I want to go back to being me... I want to be an adult again..." 😔💧

The System was silent for a moment. Then, her voice whispered,"You will... one day. But for now... just rest. You've earned it." 😈🌙

Ahmed sniffled, his tiny body curling up on the bed.He closed his eyes, his voice a mere whisper."I'm... so tired... Why did all of this happen to me...?" 😔💫

The System watched from the shadows, her eyes softening."Rest, sweet pie. I'll be here... watching over you." 😈❤️

Epilogue:

The candles flickered as the night grew darker.Ahmed's tiny form lay curled up on the bed, his face peaceful as he slept.A soft breeze fluttered through the window, rustling the curtains.The moonlight bathed the room in a gentle silver glow.

The System floated beside him, her face soft and gentle.She reached out, her fingers brushing his hair."Sleep well, sweet pie... You've been through so much..." 😈❤️

She leaned down, her voice a whisper."You have two days of peace... but after that..."Her lips curled into a mischievous grin."I'll be back to teasing you... and I won't hold back." 😈😆

She floated back, her eyes sparkling as she watched him sleep.Her voice was barely audible as she whispered,"Sweet dreams, my little troublemaker..." 😈🌙

And with that, she vanished into the shadows, leaving behind a room filled with moonlight... and a heart full of love. 😈❤️
