Marriage is a union between a man and a woman, that's what I've always known but I guess in my case it's different. By the way, my name is Fatimah Sanusi I live in the Northern part of Nigeria and also the capital, Abuja, along with my husband. My husband, Abdullah Ibrahim and I have been married for 2years, but it hasn't been the best of marriage I must be honest and whenever I try to tell it to my mum, she always has to go with the African way of saying "do not have a reason to leave your husband's house..."
Don't get me wrong by the way, it's not as bad as y'all are thinking but still bad because would you call a marriage where a husband gives his wife little to no acknowledgment, a blissful marriage? No right. Now you get what I mean
FATIMAH'S POV
"Hi, Asalamualykum Fatimah" Aisha my best friend jumped on my back while I was sitting on a chair at my school stadium. "Wa'alaykum Salam Aisha. Wow you're early today, what's going on?" I laughed at her because Aisha is never early for class. By the way, we're in our final year at the university and I can't wait to finish. "Well my mum had to pick up something from the store, so I just had to tag along" and she had a sheepish smile on her face. As if I know... "Classes does not start until after thirty minutes, what do you reckon we do?" she asked me "Why don't we go to the school cafeteria, I'm dead hungry" I said to her "Wow that new, Fatimah didn't eat to class?... Or is it because, your so-called husband made troubles for you again?" That's right, I told my friend about my marriage and some of the things going on. Obviously not all. One needs to be cautions with what we tell people even if they're our close buddies. "Umm, yes and no. Yes, because he rejected my food and no because, I lost my appetite. So that's on me and babes he is still my husband so put some respect there" I said smiling "Ohhh, I see what's happening here. Does he have any idea that you're head over heels for him?" She looked at me giving me the stink eye along with a smirk. I used my Hijab to cover half on my face, peeking at her and I said in a meek voice "I'm not sure about that"
"God! Fatimah, sometimes I wonder how y'all got married, for real!" she exclaimed with her eyes wide. Yeah, it was an arranged marriage. My parent and Abdullahs has been friends for so many years and they just had to decide for us that we're right for each other and we'd learn to love each other. Well, in my case, I have learned to love him, even though he seldom pays attention to me whatsoever, lol. My life!
