THE DON'S MUSLIM THERAPIST

Hypocritical husband

Ali's POV
How can she fall in love with another man.She cheated me, and I couldn't get over it.Hikimah held me.
Ali:not now
Hikimah:you know it's funny,you have another wife behind your wife's back yet you get angry when she falls for another.

Ali: it's different
Hikimah:how? because you are a man?
Ali:yes, that's why am allowed to have four wives, it's my nature to be with more than one woman.You women are supposed to be with one man,she is supposed to love only me, and since she has Fallen for another, she has cheated me

Hikimah:so you feel that you are not cheating her?
Ali:no,am not ,I have every right to have more than one wife.
Hikimah:then why didn't you marry infront of her?why did you do it behind her back? and why haven't you told her if it's not cheating?

Ali: it's because it will hurt her.Unlike her,am keeping it a secret for her sake.
Hikimah:so you mean she should have lied to you and kept her feelings from another man a secret? She is not selfish like you Ali.

Ali:since when did you take her side?
Hikimah:since now, because unlike you, she wasn't a coward,she confessed it to you.But as for you,you are cheating her by keeping a secret wife under her nose.And you dare lie to her that am your sister.You are cheating her and she needs to learn the truth.

(She was right but I hated it)
Ali:you are saying all this because you want me to tell her,but not for her sake but for your own selfish needs
Hikimah:but offcourse, what you think,you are the only one who can become selfish? The pain you are feeling now,is nothing compared to what she is going to feel when she finds out.

Ali: that is why am not going to tell her.
Hikimah: she is going to find out soon.
Ali:if you dare tell her,I swear I will divorce you.

(I walked out and went to Layla.She rushed to me)

Layla: please forgive me Ali.
Ali:you need to promise that you will never meet that man again or I promise you Layla,I will not speak to you.

Layla:I promise you Ali,I have cut all ties with him.
Ali:never,I repeat never receive a male patient,I know it wasn't your choice but if they force you,you have no choice but to quit.Its either me or your job Layla.

Layla:it will never come to that and if it did,I pick you a hundred percent.Please forgive me.
Ali: it's not going to be easy but I forgive you.

Layla:thank you.(she hugged me.I don't care if I was being selfish,she was only meant to love me.I do feel guilty for cheating on her,but I can't stand it if she does it back.

Am trying my best to hide my cheating from her, which shows that am not that selfish and that I care about her.I don't belong to her only,she doesn't need to know that,But she only belongs to me .
