Layla's POV
A month has passed, and I cried for days and weeks.Ceasar brought me to an island,he made me happy for a while but then the grief would come back.
Then he would make me happy again,it reached a point,I just cried out onto his shoulder.He never touched me or crossed the line with me.
But I couldn't help but cry on to his shoulder,I was so stupid.Here I was staying faithful and loyal to my husband Ali,but he was rather cheating behind my back by having another wife.
He lied to me,that he was his sister,all this while,she was his secret wife.And binta was his daughter.Am such a fool.
I cried for two weeks straight until I had no tears left to shed.I became stiff and silent.The pain and betrayal had weakened and silenced me.
But ceasar did his best, and I realised that the more time I spent with him,the more happier I become.I lost my smile but I felt Abit Happy in my heart.
The happiness was no less than 20percent,the pain and betrayal was at 80percent.In order to move on,I had to cut all ties with those cheating scums.
I decided to come back and asked ceasar not to interfere.I came home to Ali and hikimah's surprise.He looked terrible but I didn't care.
I went to my room and locked myself up.That next day Ali's parents came over.I was called in.My parents were out of town.
Latifa:dear please sit.(I stood standing and nobody dared to sit)
Wahab:dear,we know it isn't easy for you.Ali made a huge mistake, please learn to forgive him.He didn't mean..
Layla:he didn't mean to? Hello,he has been lying to my face for the past three years.Six years of marriage, and half of it was a lie. He lied to me that she was his sister but all along he had another wife! And daughter!
Ali:I know what I..
Layla: enough!(I shoved my hand in the air) here I was feeling guilty for falling for another man,yet you were here cheating on me.Right under my nose, and the worst part is,you made feel guilty for allegedly cheating you.
Ali:that was totally different.I understand that what I did was wrong but I have every right to have another wife.
(I snapped.Before I realised,I had slapped him hard)
Wahab: Layla! Do you know what you have done!you have slapped your own husband!that is one of the biggest sins a woman can commit!
Layla:then am proud to be a sinner!In the so called religion,that has allowed men to treat women like this! My heart is breaking!it feels as if my heart has been ripped out of my chest, and he is not to be held accountable,right?? He has every right to have more wives? Right? He can marry two,three ,four and nobody cares how women feel, because it has been allowed right?
