Chapter 13
"As Salamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu, As Salamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu" I say as I finish up my fajir salat. As soon as Zaid raises from his prayer mat and leaves to order breakfast I stay in my place. My tears fall uncontrollably and I feel as I am stuck to the floor.
I raise my hands and ask
"Why, Why Me? What have I done? Why did I get married to someone who loves someone else? Who will want to marry a divorcee? Will my plan work?"
I stop asking myself why and started making dua, I made dua for peace, happiness, another chance and inshallah love.
...................................................................................
Breakfast was very awkward, the hotels restaurant was a little too fancy for me. What the heck is an eggs benedict? I guess I will be basic and order pancakes with extra whipped cream on the side.
"After breakfast I will be going out with Rosa and I won't be back till around dinner time, Is that okay?" Zaid asks
"Remember our plan? I don't care about your life, you don't care about my life" I say eyeing the waiter with my pancakes.
"Ohh yeah, I forgot" He says smiling
After that we didn't talk much and there was lots of awkward silences. Gets up and leaves after he is done eating without even saying Salam but that doesn't affect me much because I then have the opportunity to call up my friends.
"Salaam Yasmeen" Sameera says
"W/Salaam I am coming to your hotel room in 20 minutes. Get dresses and ready for a fun day"
"Khaled go get ready! Yasmeen will be here in 20 minutes" Sameera shouts over the phone
"Chill no need to yell, I will see you soon" I say smiling
It was still my honeymoon so I was going to look BOMB. I put on a green and gold kaftan with gold heels and let my messy curls fall. I still don't really know how to put makeup on so I just put black eyeliner on my waterline and layered on some mascara.
I grabbed my purse and phone and left the hotel room with the keys of our rental lambo .
......................................................................
"Salaaam!" Sameera says as she opens the door
"Waslama" I say looking around the room
Samera and Khaled's hotel room was very nice it was white and blue and lots of paintings.
"Where is Zaid?" Samera asks
"Something came up, so it's just going to be us three"
"Where's Khaled" I ask
"He's brushing his teeth should be out soon. Tell me how was it spending the night ......"
Before Sameera could finish her sentence Khaled walks out of the bathroom and greets me
"Salaam Yasmeen or should I say Mrs.Yasmeen" Khaled greats
"Wasalaam" I say
"Where's your husband"
"Something came up"
"Something came up on the first day for your honeymoon" Khaled asks
"It's okay because we have about 2 weeks to hang out" I say smiling
"Can we go now" I say
"Let's go, who's driving?" Samera asks
"Me" I say
"Are you sure?" Khaled asks
"YES, IT's 2016 and I will drive and Sameera will drive us back. GOT IT?" I say trying to punk Khaled
"Got it!" He says laughing
.......................................................
Wonderland Amusement Park is the first destination we arrive at, I am glad we all agreed to this because it is a good forty five minutes away from my hotel and hopefully far away from Zaid and Rosa.
After going on most of the crazy rides we go sit down and grab some icecream.
Khaled goes into the line and grabs the ice cream while Sameera and I go and find seats in the shade. We find a seat with a beautiful landscape in the background.
After finishing our ice cream we decide to have a photoshoot. Samera quickly applies red lipstick and some more makeup on my face and I do the same for her. After taking a billion photos we all decide to go to a masjid to pray.
Sameera and I are walking in front of Khaled exiting the amusement park as I hear a familiar voice shout
"Brother, may you take our picture?"
Khaled turns around and so do we (Samira and I). This familiar voice was none other than my husband holding hands with his girlfriend Rosa.
Rosa was gorgeous she looked hispanic maybe mixed with arab. I couldn't really tell if she was muslim or not but she wore tight skinny dark blue jeans and a white t-shirt with black heels.
"ZAID?" Khaled and Sameera shout!
Before anything else could happen I quickly spoke
"YES, Brother I can take your photo"
Zaid just stares at us and I motion him to go stand next to his girlfriend so I can take his picture and leave
"Please hurry brother, we are in a rush to go pray duhr" I say lowering my gaze
"yes sorry" Zaid says as he stares at me and whispers a thank you
1... 2.... 3......
I take 3 pictures and catch Rosa kissing Zaid's cheek in the last picture.
"UMMM YASMEEN, Did you not see that?" Sameera shouts
I hand Zaid his phone and give Sameera and Khaled the DON'T SAY ANYTHING OR I WILL KILL YOU LOOK.
I walk a little faster than Khaled and Sameera and I hear them shouting "YASMEEN" "YASMEEN WAIT" "YASMEEN STOP" I am now running to the masjid, I need a place to sit before I can explain to them what's going on.
I reach the masjid that was 2 secs away from the amusement park and sit down.
"Finally you stopped running" Sameera says
"Yeah, I thought after the ice cream we all needed some exercise" I say
"Yasmeen, WTF is going on? Who was that girl with Zaid and why did you call him brother? and NO MORE LIES" Sameera asks
