BFFs: Married To My Sister's Best friend

59. In The End...

It's been sixty eight days since the divorce. Halima has been counting and so far, she can't wait to finish the ninety days of torture.

She was very foolish to think they could work out again, to think she was thinking of going back to withdraw the divorce issue, what a whimsy thought!

One week after they got back, Halima had thought about it, this divorce shouldn't have happened. But it has happened and she is the only one that can change it. She went to Sa'eed - since they aren't living in the same rooms - only to hear the conversation that changed her mind.

Halima walks through the corridor, determined steps are what she takes. She just needs to talk to him and then they'll go to the judge and forget the divorce issue.

"Yes, have you seen those girls? They look even younger in person. Fahida and Kamila. Very pretty girls. Your wife, oops, ex-wife would look like an old woman, a used one at that compared to them." Sa'eed scrunches his face up at the phrase 'old woman, a used one'. What does Safwan mean? That his wife is old?

"Let the divorce be done with first, then we can talk about Fajjita and Cammelia or whatever their names are." Sa'eed rubs his forehead in frustration.

"But seriously though, you need to make a move before someone does. At least see them, even if you won't go and see them, let them come to you." Sa'eed sighs.

"Okay then, send them." Halima turns around, her heart shattering with each step she takes.

That isn't all that happened to make her go back on her decision though.

Halima hears a knock on the door, she drops Nicholas Sparks' The Notebook and goes to attend to whoever her guest is.

On opening the door, she sees two young girls in figure hugging embellished gowns wearing heavy makeup. She looks at them head to toe and back, as if asking who they are here to see.

"We're here to see Sa'eed. I'm Fahida and she's Kamila." A wave of awareness washes over her and she ushers them in. It's not her house anyways, it's his house.

"Can you get him for us?" The fair one who spoke earlier says removing her veil to showcase a cleavage exposing gown. She's slim with all the curves, beautiful caramel skinned with pearl white teeth. Her eyes are lined with black Kohl making them look large. She has a large black birth mark right on her cupid's bow. She's beautiful.

"Sure." Halima gets inside the house and calls Sa'eed.

"Who's looking for me?" Sa'eed asks and Halima smiles.

"Fahida and Kamila." Tears start to fall off her eyes. That's the pregnancy hormones speaking. She wipes her eyes and start to walk away. Sa'eed shakes his head, why is she acting like that? Aren't they divorced? Then why is she crying? First she asks that they get divorced and now that they are, she's acting up because he's looking for a replacement for her. Women. He shakes his head and walks into the parlor putting on a smile.

Halima feels tears rushing out of her eyes. Her freaking hormones again! She wipes her eyes. She stands up to pray her Asr prayer when she bumps into Sa'eed on her way out. He has been there watching her cry.

All what he did, he did it so she could realize she's still very much in love with him but now, he knows he acted on impulse and stupidity. He has always been a stupid husband. Despite taking the promise of making things right between them he did the direct opposite. He made things worse between them and now she loathes his mere presence.

He wasn't going to actually marry Fahida or Kamila, they are just friends of the President's children who wanted to catch cruise with him, nothing more. Then one of his friends at work, Abubakar suggested that he acted as if he was going to get married to them to make Halima jealous and maybe she'd probably withdraw the divorce issue. But instead of it to work, it backfired.
