Married in spite of me
Author :
Part 2 chapter 21
Nabila
Yesterday night as planned we pretended to have to go home to settle a family emergency at home and let Mariam and Akim finish dinner alone, I hope everything went well between them, in the meantime my husband and I took advantage of the fact to have the house to ourselves to discover certain parts of the house, we made love all night, I'll spare you the details but it was really special, I love the life I have next to my husband, the events of life and our lack of communication pushed us to separate but our love was stronger than anything and we were able to find each other
When I woke up this morning, my husband was already ready for work, I had even already forgotten that he even had to go back to work, he took a little leave which was unfortunately too short for my taste.
Me (stretching): Are you leaving already? why didn't you wake me?
Khalil placing a kiss on her lips: I felt that you were very tired so I preferred to let you sleep
Me: yeah, you really tired me
Khalil smiling: I didn't hear you complain once last night
Me: I want to have breakfast together before you leave
Khalil: I'm really sorry sweetheart I have a very important meeting with Christopher MARTIN it wouldn't be very polite of me to be late
Me: but it's the real estate magnate who was meanwhile at the heart of the controversy with his wife Faith, isn't it?
Khalil: it's him, I didn't know you were interested in what the celebrity press says
Me: Who hasn't heard of these two? are you going to work together or what?
Khalil: It's a surprise...
Me: ok, then let me take you home
I get up and I put on my babydoll, I take an overcoat and I gather my hair in a bun then I leave to wash my face in the bathroom
Me: here we go
Khalil: don't tell me that you're going to go out like this in front of the employees, in addition your dress is too short, we can see the shape of your buttocks and the tip of your breasts which is pointing through the dress
Me (giggling): sweetheart, there are only women inside the house, and I'll just be doing a few minutes in the garage right now the caretaker will be busy opening and closing the door and the driver another will be busy driving
Khalil: no you limit yourself to the living room door, neither the guard nor the driver has to see my wife in her undress
Me: as you want boss
I know very well that what I wear is too short but I just want to test his limits and I see that he is really trying to change because the old Khalil wouldn't even let me out of this room dressed like that
When we arrive at the doorstep he kisses me languidly before telling me how much he loves me
Me: I love you too sweetheart, I'll be waiting for you for dinner so come home early
Khalil: at your command chief
We can laugh and he goes to his car, I wait for the car to get out of the house before closing the door and heading for the kitchen, I see Adja and Mariam who were in the middle of a discussion
Me: hello everyone
Adja and Mariam in heart: hello!
Me: what are you locking up here?
Mariam: I'm telling Adja what you and your husband did to me last night
Adja: I was telling him how noisy you were last night
We all burst out laughing, and I, who thought that Adja had slept in the outbuildings, I didn't know she was here
Me: trying to make up for lost time
Adja: I had noticed
Mariam: at this pace Mayer will have a brother or a sister rather than he thinks
Me: no no it's not in my plans for the moment, otherwise how did dinner go yesterday?
Mariam: I will say that Akim is good company I thought I would be bored with him but that was not the case, plus it's so easy to talk to him
Me: ah beautiful Akim, do you like it?
Mariam: not at all
Me: and you have stars in your eyes when you talk about him?
Mariam: anyway what would he do with a divorced woman and break like me?
Me: stop talking nonsense my darling, the man who will have you in his life will be very lucky
Adja: don't be blind my daughter, the look this man has on you is the look of a man in love
Mariam: but it's not possible
Me: why is that impossible? the great Akim who makes everyone tremble who becomes shy in front of you, what can it be if it is not love?
Mariam: don't say anything my darling
Me: well, I'll tell you the truth, he's been madly in love with you for a while, far be it from me to minimize our work, but this man who can hire the biggest decoration agencies in this country turns to a small business like ours and despite the fact that he is very busy he always attends our meetings himself when his employees can take care of it, you think it was just to receive advice on the decoration? not at all, he loves you in silence for a while but prefers to keep his feelings quiet out of respect for your marriage
Aicha: please, madam, there is the guard who has come to tell me that there is a lady outside who insists that we let her pass, she says that she is the mother of Madam Mariam
Me (surprised): leave the entrance
When she leaves I turn to Mariam with a look full of questions
Mariam: no I was not expecting her visit and I don't know how she found me
Me turning to adja: we are going to prepare a tray for them
Mariam: please don't leave me alone with her, I'll feel more reassured if you were there
Me: okay, I run to change and I come
When I go back down I see that Mariam was still in the kitchen with Adja, when I arrive I take the tray and we join her mother in the living room
I put the tray on the coffee table before serving her a drink
Me (handing her his verse): welcome ma'am
She looks me up and down before swearing at me
Fatima: I am not thirsty
Mariam: hello mom
Fatima: so you run away from home to come and hide with people and play the boss, right?
Mariam: mom, I no longer have to give you an account from now on, this man I will never go back to with him again, I still prefer to die
Fatima slapping Mariam who was sitting next to her: shut your mouth, cursed girl
Me: ma'am please calm down
Fatima: if you don't shut up your impolite little room right away I'll also give you a slap to calm you down, is that what the Koran taught you that? pick up a woman who has fled her home from your home?
Mariam: I didn't run away from my home but I left this bugger who was my husband, it's very different
Me: Madam, this Koran you are talking about, in this same Koran Allah forbids a man to beat his wife and he asks us to help our brothers and sisters who are in pain, I would never have allowed myself to let live under my roof if I did not know that his life was in danger with this man
Fatima: So you think you can teach me the Koran? I'm asking you to kick my daughter out of this house if you don't want me to curse you both, since when did a few slaps ever kill a person? even me my husband gave me a few slaps when I messed up but I'm still alive and I never brought him to the police station, when you are put in a little school you think you know life more than everyone
Me: Madam, I'm so sorry to hear you talk like that and to see that you feel no pain about everything your daughter has to go through during her marriage, a mother is supposed to protect her daughter, it was normally your duty to keep your daughter away from this animal but you preferred to let her suffer and look away
Mariam cutting me off: all this because of a cursed check at the end of the month, you preferred to exchange your daughter for money, you never loved me mother, if you never would have given me marriage to a man like that, you're there quoting the Koran when it suits you what does the Koran say in relation to the sunnah? what is a marriage where the man has never touched his wife? how could you marry me to a man who loves men? How? 'Or' What ?
Fatima: insolent child, shut up, you're going to go to the police station to take back everything you said and go back to your husband, otherwise I'll curse you, you'll never be happy in this life or after death
Mariam with a nervous laugh: only a mother can curse her daughter, and you have never cursed her for me so any word that will come out of your mouth will be without effect or will turn against you so I will ask you to think twice and do not lose your saliva, this man I have already divorced him and I will never withdraw my complaint; with your intervention I decided to ensure that Interpol finds him he will never come out of prison again, I want to start my life over, I also want to taste the happiness that you have deprived me of for all these years
Fatima: do you think you will find a man who will want a divorced woman who sent her husband to prison?
Mariam: it doesn't matter all I'm looking for is peace, and if I have to end up alone I accept my fate
Fatima: I curse you useless daughter, you will never be happy in this life and from today you are not my daughter, you died for me
Mariam: so be it, I release you from all responsibility as a mother, you can leave in peace, from today you won't have to bear the shame of having me as a daughter, you can 'go
She gets up looks at us before leaving, when I turn I see Mariam who was shaking, I take her in my arms and she bursts into tears
Me running my hand through her hair: Calm down honey, you don't need someone who treats you like that in your life
Mariam: what have I done to deserve such a woman as a mother, why can't she love me?
Me: that's how it is, and she's the one who loses the most losing a girl like you because you're a golden person
Mariam: you are too kind
We stay in each other's arms for a while, her story with her mother reminds me a lot of mine, at least I had my aunt who became a mother to me but she, she doesn't is not so lucky, I hope she can rely on me when she needs someone to rely on
Mariam: were you serious about what you were saying?
Me: about what?
Mariam: Akim is he really in love with me?
Me: he is madly in love with you my darling
Mariam: I want to give myself another chance and also know love one day, I don't want to end up alone
Me: you will never end up alone, there are plenty of men out there who are just waiting for you to make you happy
Mariam: I'll start with Akim first, he's super cute...
We both burst out laughing, I don't like to see her like that anymore, happy and smiling at life...
