I spaced out the moment I heard what Mama said. I could hear Muhsin and Abba shouting but I couldn't comprehend anything, I was just looking from one person to another, seeing their mouths move but I couldn't hear a thing.
"Excuse me please I....i.... Need to breathe a bit" I whispered.
"Baby are you alright? You don't need to....." muhsin began but I walked out the door not waiting to listen to him. I sat on the swing at the back of the house so many thoughts running through my mind. I knew a day like this would come but I never knew it would come this soon. She has given me enough time I guess. She wants grand children and she wants them now there's no convincing her.
I can't imagine sharing Muhsin with anyone else, I guess I have to accept my qadr but it's so hard. I wiped a tear. I didn't realize I was crying. Sometimes I wonder, why me? Why can't I have a child of my own when the doctors keep saying nothing is wrong with me. If I had a child will Mama like me? Will she treat me better?
Muhsin's POV;
From the moment Mama started talking about wanting to see me urgently I knew something was wrong. I don't know why mama doesn't like Inayah but this is the height of it and Safeerah! Of all the girls in the world why her?. Everyone knows how much of a terrible person she is and don't get me started on her Mom. No normal mother would want her son to associate with those two.
"Mama, I don't want anything to do with Safeerah or her Mom and I don't want to hear anything about a second wife. I never told you I wanted a second wife neither did I complain about my wife. Thank you for your suggestion but it is not welcomed. Abba please talk to Mama, she needs to stop interfering in my marriage" I said sternly.
"Alhaji Kana ganin abun da Nike gaya maka ko. Muhsin ya zama wani abu daban, shi ya sa nace dole...."
{Alhaji can you see what I've been telling you? Muhsin has Tyrone to something else, that's why I said I must.....}
Mama started but was cut short by Abba
"Zainab! I thought I already told you i never want to hear anything regarding getting Muhsin a second wife . Why are you so hell bent on making his life miserable. This boy is not complaining, he is happy with his wife and nothing is wrong with the both of them, why can't you wait for Allah's time. Since Muhsin has made it clear that he doesn't want another wife then so be it. If I ever hear anything regarding this issue again, do not hold me responsible for my actions" Abba said. He got up and angrily left Mama and I seated.
"Ni dai na Riga na fadi Nawa. Duk yanda zakuyi kuje kuyi tayi. Aure ne dole sai anyi gara ma ka fara shiri Muhsin saboda kwanan nan zaka ga na kawo maka mata kuma dole ka zauna da ita. Bazan zauna Ina kallo mayyar yarinyan nan tana juya ku kaman waina a tanda ba"
{I've already said my own. Whatever you guys want to do, you can do it. This marriage is a must, you better get ready Muhsin because I will soon bring your wife and you must live with her. I won't stay back and watch this witch turn both of you into her puppets}
"Mama I have said my mind" I said getting up and heading out to the back of the house where I knew I would find Inayah.
I found her seated on the swing crying silently. My heart broke. I hate seeing her like this.
"Baby" I called. She turned looking at me. She looked away.
"Muhsin I think you should listen to your mum. She might be right. Maybe if you get married again you might have a child"
I couldn't believe what Inayah was spewing. I was taken aback, was she alright? Why would she say something like this.
Her words just made my blood boil. I was already angry and now this
"Inayah, please and please don't repeat what you just said ever again. I am doing all this for you and this is what you say?, you might as well just team up with Mama and get me married tomorrow if that is what you want. I will be in the car if you decide you want to go home and if you want to stay here with Mama and plan my wedding, the floor is yours"
I walked out angrily not bothering to check if she was behind me.
Could this day get any worse? I sighed.
