Marry in spite of me

Chapter 21
Nabila
This morning like every morning after Khalil leaves for work, I take my bath and I go down to have my breakfast with Adja, Khalil I did everything but he rarely takes his breakfast, I think it's part of his habits as a single man it will take time for him to change
I admit that I'm very bored at home, I have to find a job, Khalil is really old fashioned, he prefers a housewife, for him it's up to the man to work and to the wife to take care of the household, with all the studies he has done, with all the trips he has had to make, I am really surprised that he is not always open-minded, I have the impression that this kind of behavior is not just cultural, these people have it in their blood, they are born like it
I have to find ways to convince him to let me work and who better to advise me if not Adja
Adja: you look elsewhere my daughter
Me: Adja, I'm really bored here, I spend my days waiting for him to come home from work every day and frankly I can't get used to this life, I studied to be able to exercise but khalil doesn't want to hear anything
Adja: I understand you my daughter, your husband is in the perspective where it is up to the man to work and to the woman to take care of the mason
Me: I don't think I can handle this life, I need to do some activities to be able to blossom, I need you on this neck, he really values you a lot and always takes into consideration what you are say, if you speak to him on my behalf he will reflect on the subject
Adja: okay my daughter, I'll try to talk to her about it but first you have to promise me that even if you'll find a job, you'll do a job that won't prevent you from taking care of your husband and your future children, you must promise me to be able to have time for your family despite the work you will do
Me: I promise, I just want to be able to feel useful
Adja: I understand you girl, I will do my best to convince him
Me (the enllacant): thank you very much
Adja: please my daughter
On these words, I go up to my room to get my phone, I send a message to my husband like every morning to tell him how much I miss him and that I love him, but this time he does not answer me , I lie down waiting for him to answer me when I hear a notification, I jump on my phone, it was not him but rather an unknown number, who is what it can be, I offered myself a new sim when I came back from a trip and there are few people who have my number so I'm a little surprised and curious at the same time
When I open the message I had to do a stroke shit what is that? photos of cherif and me in dubai, the images were taken at an angle where it looked like we were kissing when he never touched my lips he just tried to kiss me
I read the following message, "if you don't want your husband to know everything, you must agree to meet me tonight... cherif"
No, but is he crazy or what? we never kissed and I will not give him the pleasure of going to meet him, I respond immediately to his message before blocking him on whatsapp "are you crazy or what? my husband is not so stupid to believe you, he knows that I will never kiss a tare like you, forget »
I was sending the message when I hear the door open when I raise my head it was khalil I jump like a child who has just been caught stealing candy, what is he doing, besides he has face close as if upset
Me: but what are you doing?
Khalil: Am I not allowed to go home?
Me: but you told me this morning that you had a lot to do at work, that's what surprises me
Khalil: it was me who came home again, so stop asking me stupid questions
Me: what happened? you look upset my heart
Khalil: nothing is happening, tell me what you were doing and you jump like that when you see me
Me: but I wasn't doing anything, I was just sending a message
Khalil cutting me: to whom?
Me (surprised by his behavior): people who can interest you my heart, and if you told me instead what brings you home at this hour
Khalil: I just wanted to go home, if I don't have this right, you tell me and I'm leaving
Me: not at all sweetheart, I'm glad you freed up this day to spend time with me, I'm really bored here all alone in your absence
Khalil taking place on the bed: ok
I lie down next to him but I notice that he didn't want me there so I resign myself and leave the room leaving him alone there...
Later in the night
Tonight I prayed alone when I usually do it with my man, I prefer to leave him in his dog mood when he calms down we can have a discussion I don't know what's happening but I I don't want to be his scapegoat
I was sitting in front of the TV when I still receive messages from another unknown number, this time if he is threatening and asks to join him at the front, I do not answer but he starts calling me now, I think i'm gonna go dot the i's
Khalil
I had a hard time digesting the pictures I saw this morning and what hurts me the most is that she let that stupid Cherif touch her, put his lips on hers
What I can't get out of my mind is if she loves, if she thinks about him and everything, yes I'm jealous, I'm in my throat, I'm trying to find the ways to calm myself down before I can broach the subject with her
After the prayer I go down to see her, but she wasn't in the living room, so go back to my office to look for the photos while waiting to find her, but strangely through the window I see the silhouette of my wife heading towards the exit suddenly come on the terrace of the office to see where she was going, I was really curious
Of course the terrace was plunged into darkness so no one could see me, I was surprised to see who was waiting for my wife outside, it was this imbecil de cherif, how dare they? how could she invite her lover to my house? So they were seeing each other in secret, these two?
They seem to be talking for a while then I see them kissing again, they just confirmed my doubts
Me (shouting): don't dare your two in this house
They seem to be looking for who is talking then I turn on the light, I read on her face that she was really surprised to see me there, surprise them both, I see that this woman she was playing a double game with me, I was really wrong on his case
By the time I go down to the living room she was already there
Me: who let you in here?
Nabila: it's the guards, let me explain it's not what you think
Me (throwing the clichés in his face): you really made fun of me by playing the little virgin without experience when you're just a little shameless
(SLAP)
Me (taking her hands): how dare you?
Nabila: I don't allow you to disrespect me
Adja: but what is happening here? we are waiting for you to shout from the other end of the house
Me: Ask that little whore in front of you what's wrong?
Adja: But Khalil, since when do you talk like that? don't talk about the kind of your wife
Me: that's not my wife, I repudiate you, I don't want to see you here anymore
Adja: but what's wrong my daughter? what is going on here
Nabila shedding crocodile tears: ma adja I swear it's not what he thinks, I promise you it's just a misunderstanding
Me: this woman dares to bring her lover to my house, I just caught them kissing
Adja: is it true, my daughter?
Nabila: I swear he kissed me by force, he's a man who's been chasing me since we were in Dubai, but he never touched me, I swear in the name of God
Me (eyes red with anger): stop pronouncing the name of God in your shameless mouth room, what is that?
Nabila voice trembling: things are not necessarily what we see my love, trust me please
Me: I repudiate you, I repudiate you and I repudiate you, go prepare your business, I no longer want to see a single trace of your time in this house, you can go and join your lover
Adja: stop making hasty decisions my son, besides it's dark where do you want her to go at this time?
Me: whatever, I don't want her here anymore
Nabila throwing herself at my feet: my heart, believe I swear to you that I never cheated on you, I love you more than anything, I cannot live without you
I get out of my grip before I reach the office, my heart was breaking, I couldn't believe what I saw, how could she betray me like this, for the first time that I give my heart to a woman she gives it back to me in pieces, or did I fail? Didn't I show her enough love? why did she betray me?
When I returned to the living room it was already midnight she was still there shedding her crocodile tears and Adja next to her who was consoling her, I could have forgiven everything but how could I live with a woman who betrayed me, how could I can I see her face to face?
I see that his suitcases are still not made, I call a housekeeper
Me: kadija
Kadija arriving running: yes sir
Me: prepare Madame's suitcases, she will leave this house at dawn
Kadija: ok sir
Adja: my son stop reacting hotly and listen to your wife, if you let her explain things to you you will see that it is only a big misunderstanding
Me: I will never live with an adulterous woman, she is never repudiated
Nabila getting up with a bang: so be it, I will never agree to stay married to a man who doubts my word, tomorrow at dawn I will leave this house
Adja: my daughter stop me
Me: her lover must be waiting for her
Nabila: I will no longer accept one more insult from you, you repudiated me, I accept your decision
Nabila
I tried to show myself as much as possible but inside my heart was in pieces, how can he think that I could cheat on him with another? I sit there waiting for dawn under the accusing gaze of the man I love more than my life, I prayed to God with all my strength to return to better feelings but nothing
When dawn arrived I get up and I take my suitcase hoping that he asks me to stop and it was the case
Khalil: wait..
Me (running to throw myself into his arms): thank you my heart, I knew that our love was stronger than anything
Khalil pushing me away: hold this pregnancy test, I won't allow you to leave this house with my child in your womb
I receive his words like the blows of a hammer being massaged, I calmly hang the pregnancy test and I go to the bathroom to invite me, praying with all my strength that this test is positive, that this child that I have wanted for all this time come save my couple
When I finish I give him the test continuing to pray that he is positive, after endless minutes that have lasted hours he finally dares to open his mouth, I close my eyes hoping to hear what I wanted
Khalil: he is negative
He tempts me to pay before adding "in compensation for the time you spent with me, since that's obviously what you are, a whore"
He turns his back on me and takes the stairs before I have time to say anything, here is the end of my marriage, I won't spend another minute in this house, I don't know where I can go but I know that I will never come back here again…
