Back To You ...

Chapter 71 ✨

One week later ~

I was still staying in Surraiyah's house and I had to stand up and be strong and independent for me and my child . I thought this whole thing was all a big joke but now that it's setting in I need to wake up .

" Surraiyah , Ammat I need to talk to you guys ." I said to Surraiyah and her mother .

" what happened my dear , is everything okay ?" Surraiyah's mom asked concerned .

" Yes , everything is fine . I just wanted to let you guys know that I found an apartment and I'm moving in tomorrow." I told them .

" Madtha?!" Surraiyah's mom asked in shock.

" Yeaa." I told them .

" You know you can stay here until everything gets situated right ? "  Surraiyah told me .

" I know but I'm realizing it's never going to get situated so I might as well start being independent." I told her .

"Habibti , you don't have to rush . Take your time . We enjoy your company and we'll miss you guys . Who am I going to be here with when Surraiyah gets married ?" Surraiyah's mom asked me .

" It's okay Ammat, I'll come visit you every week ." I told her .

" I support your decision tho, I'm proud of you ." Surraiyah said giving me a hug .

" Thank you ." I told her returning the hug .

" Always have sabr , I know you've been through a lot but be patient and leave everything in the hands of Allah ." Surraiyah's mom told me .

" Okay thank you Ammat." I said giving her a big hug .

" So does your parents know your moving in ?" Surraiyah's mom asked me .

" No , they don't know ." I said .

" Are you going to tell them ?" She asked .

" Maybe just my mom ." I told her .

" Tell them , so that it won't be more trouble. Go to their house and have a conversation with them ." She said .

" Alright , I'll go tomorrow . When I've already moved in so that they won't stop me ." I told her as my phone rang .

" Salam wailakum ." I said answering the phone .

" Wailakum Salam ." Zakariyah responded .

Zakariyah was been helping me move into my new apartment for a couple of days now . All my furniture is there , there's food in the fridge . I just need to bring my clothes . I'm going to just take the clothes that I have with me and pick up the rest of my clothes at the house another day .

" You have your clothes packed over there ?" He asked me .

" Yeaa , it's all in our suitcases ." I told him .

" Im just going to drive there tomorrow, thank you so much for all your help , love you ." I said to him ,

" Anytime , love you too T . Im going to talk to you later I have some work to finish up." He said.

" Good luck on your case ." I told him .

" Thank you ." He said hanging up .

" Loveeeee ????" Surraiyah said looking at me with bulged eyes.

" Y'a Allah we need to get you divorced.  quick ." Surraiyah's mom said laughing .

" Stop it guysss ." I said laughing .

" I do love him tho because he is my friendddd !" I said .

" Yea okay ." Surraiyah said .

Next Day ~

Today was move in day . I was excited but I was also nervous because I've never lived alone . I was also making this decision alone without my parents input or my husbands input . Which I wasn't used to but it was a step into my independence.

" Bye guys !!! I love you. Thank you for everything ." I said on the drivers seat ready to go to my apartment .

" Byeee , we coming to visit tommorow ." Surraiyah said as I started driving to my new apartment.

" Housain , you ready to see our new home ?" I asked Housain .

" Yessss ." He said excitedly.

We finally arrived to the apartment and it was perfect for just the two of us . It was 2 bedroom and spacious . It was not far from my loved ones and it wasn't far from the house either .

We settled in, ate and now we were going to be on our way to my parents house . We were both very comfortable, so we were going in our pajamas .

We finally arrived at my parents house and everyone was chilling in the living room . I haven't seen my parents since the big family meeting .

" Salam wailakum ." I said sitting down .

" Wailakum Salam ." Everyone said .

" What you doing here ? " Yunus asked .

All my siblings knew I was living with Surraiyah but they didn't know I got an apartment. My parents on the other hand didn't know anything .

" I have something to tell y'a ." I told them .

" What is it ?" My sister in law Kadija asked me.

" I moved into my own apartment today ." I told them as everyone looked at eachother .

" Stop . You said what ?" My mother asked me .

" Y'a heard . I moved into my own apartment today . I've been living with Surraiyah for a while too ." I admitted to them .

" What are you doing getting your own apartment , if you don't want to live with your husband come live with us . But no instead your going to go and live alone . You are still married Tahany ." My mother told me in Pulaar .

" Sorry , but I'm not tolerating it . Tell Ibrahim to give me a divorce and let me be. I'm tired of dealing with this mommy ." I told her .

" Tahany ... Tahany ... Tahany . How many times did I call your name ." My father said to me .

" What possessed you to go do that ? " My father asked .

" Nothing , you guys always want to force marriage ." I told him .

" It's not forcing marriage , it's being patient . Kids nowadays don't care about marriage ." My father said .

" Baba what's wrong with you . I use to be able to tell you anything and you'd always support me but ever since this problem happened you've been acting like I'm not your daughter ." I admitted to him .

I was always a daddy's girl since I was younger and I was very close to my dad but unfortunately we are not that close anymore .

" Tahany don't say that , your my baby and I want what's best for you ." He told me .

" No you don't . If you wanted the best for me you'll respect my decision . Have you once thought about how I feel about all this ."

" Darling , I know it's hard , I know . But think about everything . There's a child involved in this ." He told me .

" You didn't even try , but okay I'll allow you to get divorced if you are sure about it since you're doing all of this . It's up to Ibrahim now. If you regret this decision do not come crying to me ." He told me .

Finally he agreed .

See y'a loves ♥️
