DARK NOOR

chapter 10

She introduced me to her family and i also introduced her to mine.
I even took my sister one day to see her and report to me how her behaviors are, at home.

She came back telling me that Everything was fine but she noticed two unfriendly things about her.
1-its the way she do her activities ,she seems a little dirty.
2- I saw a wig on her head which shock me.
I thanked her for the efforts she made and went straight to my room.
I decided to ignore the problems as they seem really simple to me. I can easily tell her to  stop wearing the wig after our marriage.I can even give her that hadith from the prophet(s.a.w)which says.
"" *Allah has cursed the maker and the wearer of a wig""*(sahih bukhari and Muslim).

And about her dirtiness,I can get us a maid c'mon. I felt at ease and was trying to cover up anything I find strange about her.

Some hash lines keep popping up but I keep on saying there's always a solution and that I'll change her after marriage.

I kept on pushing with her till we got married.
She really loved me very much and she's so loyal and trustworthy so I feel like I won't be able to live without her and I can't afford to loose her.

A few uncles came to me to object the wedding but I refused. I stood up for our marriage and they had no option than to say yes to it.

Marriage procedures began and my family took the bridal gift(lefe) to zainab's house and on that same day, they fix our wedding date.

They took my sister with them ,so when she came back; I called her to my room and asked her house was it. did it go well?

She shook her head and told me everything that happen.

Yaya They really welcomed us when we got there and serve us drinks and small chops.the elders discussed alot and we later had lunch with all of them and they also fix the wedding date.

They later ask for the boxes and we brought them out.

Yaya I was shocked about the way one of her aunts look at the boxes with a face of disappointment.

I over heard one of them saying "this wasn't what we are expecting and that it's too small."
They really didn't say it to our faces but its there,we can all see their reaction in their faces.

I told her its OK ,things like things are bound to happen in life. There's always someone that won't appreciate your efforts in life.

The wedding date is getting closer and closer by each day. it was only a few weeks away, zainab started asking me about the events she wanted at the wedding.

I try explaining to her that my business is still growing. if I remove a huge amount from my capital the business can collapse.

She understood me and collected the amount I gave her.she was later pressured by her family and friend for more but she couldn't get more from me .

So They decided to borrow a loan and give their daughter a wedding they cannot afford.

The wedding was completed and they took the bride to my house. it wasn't really a big house though.
But zainab wasn't disappointed because I was honest with her from the start and I told her that we are gonna live in a rented house before I slowly get my own place to live.

Everything was fine between us ,no fight ,no quarrel, just a happy married life.
  All was fine but zainab couldn't associate with our neighborhood because she says they are ignorant and are not up to her standard.
A lot of our neighborhood came to visit us after we moved in. but zainab won't welcome then and hence they got tired and left her alone.

We stayed for morethan a year and I can remember we also celebrated our first anniversary there.

As  time goes on,one thing lead to another and the landlord gave us a notice that we have to vacate. Because he's selling the house.
Zainab was so happy because she don't like the area and the people living there.

She became choosy of the area we had to live in,but I went ahead to to search for what we can afford.

I searched for good houses we can afford but there isn't any available at the time.
I only found one house very close to a G.R.A. but its a little expensive.
my business has start growing really well so I think I could afford it.
I break the news to my wife and she's so happy because she always wanted us to live in an expensive house.

I was shocked about how she changed In a span of one year because I know deep down that wasn't the woman I feel in love with.
That wasn't the girl I married.

She's pregnant so I was hoping its just pregnancy hormones, but that wasn't the case.
