It was early morning and the Abdalla household was noisy, causing the neighbours to peep through the windows and the daring sister neighbours to stand near their walls and discuss possible causes of this fight of the Abdalla family.
A smart BMW was parked outside the gate of the Abdalla family, it belonged to their eldest son Madhaav. And inside the car was another woman, a pregnant woman who was taking pictures with her hijab off her face and making selfie poses.
", Look at that girl, no culture or religion, she is disgracing us", an elder woman spat.
Inside the Abdalla household in Amir's bedroom he told the crying woman", Please hurry up and pack your things and go from here!", he said, his face murderous as if she wasn't his wife for four and half years.
His mother said " Son you can't just kick your wife out-", it was the child of her oldest friend after all and she begged for this marriage and promised to look after her daughter.
", What wife! She has failed her sacred duty which is to bear children for me and what did she do? She sat in this house for four and half years and made my friends question my masculinity!", he shouted his forehead vein popping.
", Shut up now, that is my wife you are talking to, besides children come from God they can take five or six years. The Naidoo family had their first child after years, the Guptas had five sons and one daughter and they had an accident four boys died one is a vegetable the family now relies on the lawyer daughter. God's way of doing things cannot be comprehended by mere mortals."
The elder couple are reluctant to lose this docile daughter in law who does her duties well, and is always polite and never makes them lose face in front of outsiders.
The old lady, the grandmother who spoiled Amir into a dandy said ",This girl, I know you are good but we need children, he is our only seedling your mother in law is like you incapable of having children so go and marry a widower and look after his children instead". She said ruthlessly.
Amir hugged her ", Only you grandma understands. Now I need this woman to leave this house otherwise my child will be born illegitimate", he said.
What he said sent shock waves through the house. They knew he was cheating, but his wife said nothing so they just asked her to bear with it, but this, a child.
"Really! Where!", the old lady lit up like a Christmas tree.
" In the car , so I want this hen less chicken to pack her things and leave". He said.
His parents quiet ."Why don't you marry them both?", asked his mother.
", No! what if this bitter woman hurts my unborn child?", he said.
",She dares!", shouted the old lady short of slapping her as if she sees her doing that.
So she slapped her with her clothes instead, ", Pack, pack your things. Amir quickly divorce her". She said decisively.
", Talek...Talek...Talek", he said then opened his safe and counted money and said ", Here is your dowry money. And my mother's jewellery you leave it , you don't deserve it".
Like a flood of water forcefully creating tributaries in deserts, tears fell, as she looked down. It happened as she dreamed. He left her for his twenty-year-old assistant. Anyways, the child is not his, he can't have children she just kept quiet about it. Since she was shown what would happen today then It means it is the will of the heavens. She stood wiping her face and started packing quick and fast.
Amir and the old lady went to car, she had sweets in her hands. And looked at the girl, frowned a bit but seeing the belly she just smiled and fed her sweets. Her parents in law looked at her with worry.
