Broken Vows COMPLETED √

Chapter 17 - Nikkah

I quickly got dressed and headed to the hospital. I had to confirm my suspicions, I couldn't be pregnant and most especially not for musa.

I went straight to the lab and I was given my bill, I paid for it and went back for the test. I was told to return in three days, they will be the longest three days of my life...

I tried my best to avoid both jamal and musa because I won't be sure how to face either of them so I kept my distance.

I spent almost the whole day at my parents house and returned in the evening for two days. On the third day, as early as 8 am I was ready and I headed out to the hospital.

I waited for what seemed to have been hours before I got my result. I held it to my chest and prayed so hard that it won't be positive and I opened it...

It was positive...

I felt like dying, what have I done to myself? How could I have been so stupid, how on earth did I let him sleep with me when I didn't love him? Why didn't we use protection...

All those questions flooded my head.

I walked into my room and threw myself on the bed and cried my eyes out.

What should I do, what should I do? I thought to myself. I got up and leaned against the wall. In my train of thoughts, I saw a tall muscular body passing...It was musa. That's it, there's solution.

I quickly took out my phone and called Jamal.

'I need to see you, I'm coming over to your office now' and I ended the call without hearing what he said.

Oh shit... I don't know where he works.

I sent him a text message inquiring where his office was and what floor because it would be too embarrassing to call him back.

The elevator rode up to the 8th floor it was very long but it was more nerve wrecking when I reached the 7th floor. What I was about to do was either going to ruin my life or save my life.

Before is reached the door Jamal opened it, I'm sure his secretary had already informed him of my presence.

'Hey, what brings you here that couldn't wait till I got home' he asked with a smile

'It's important, it's about what you asked last time' I said as I sat on the two seater and he sat beside me.

'I'll marry you, but I have to get married to someone else before marrying you since we are divorced legally by Islamic rules.'

I saw his face light up when I said I would marry him but it dropped even more when I told him it wasn't immediately.

'I have a suitor already' I said

'Hmmm who is he?' He said finally

I hesitated a bit before answering 'Musa, Musa the guy who works at home'

'Hahaha you have to be joking, you can't expect me to let you marry a house boy just because I want you to marry me. Think about it, you are from two different social classes.  I can't let that happen'

My plans were about to be shattered but I just had to convince him. He has to agree...I moved closer to him and took his hands in mine and said

'There is no other way out than this, and he will be the easiest person to separate from. He has already shown interest in me and if I accept now he won't suspect that I'm marrying him for a reason so let's just do this'

After thinking for a while he finally agreed.

'So how long will you be married to him?' Jamal asked

'You have no right to ask that question since you divorced me heartlessly? All this started because of you so don't act like you care now because I'll never fall for your cheap talk ever again'

'I'm sorry Zahra, I'm really sorry. I just couldn't accept the fact that I was forced to marry someone I didn't know so I thought divorcing you would be easier for  both of us. I'm really sorry for all the pain I've caused you'

I couldn't utter a single word, I just took my side bag and walked out of his office.
Before getting home I stopped at a mosque far from my area where no one knows me so I could find a waliyy  and fix a date for the nikkah.  I know it's supposed to be the other way round but I couldn't wait to get out of this mess.

Upon getting home, I saw musa sitting in a rubber seat in front of my room. I sighed out of frustration and walked up to him.

'Hello musa, I wanted to speak with you but since you're here that's good. I'll marry you. I gave it a lot of thought and I believe you love me a lot so let's get married. How soon do you want to get married because I made arrangements for this friday' I said with no emotion whatsoever

He stared at me in shock,  as though he didn't want to get married anymore and I was starting to get scared so I opened my mouth to talk but he cut me off...

'Thank you Zahra, let's get married.  I promise to make you the happiest woman on earth! Thank you so much, I really love you and the wedding date is just perfect for me, I'll go and make some prepations now.'

He looked so happy but I wasn't,  not even the slightest bit. I was so much happier when I was getting married to Jamal.

The wedding day
I draped my pink veil over my head and walked out of the compound so I could get a taxi to take me to the mosque where we would be getting married. While waiting for a taxi, a fully tinted black jeep pulled up beside me and wound down the window. I didn't mean to look but his voice caught my attention. It was jamal.

'Get in let me take you to the mosque, I can't have you walking under the sun on your wedding day' he sounded like a douchebag but I just had to agree because the sun was burning my face.

We pulled up in front of the mosque and I had to beg jamal not to make his presence known or it will be hard to explain to musa.

Why were you with him? In his car? On your wedding day? Isn't he supposed to be the ex you hate? I imagined musa asking all these questions if he had seen us together.

I went into the mosque and sat in a corner waiting for the other witnesses to arrive, musa was already there talking to my waliyy. In no time the other witnesses arrived and it began.
The only part I heard was when musa said ' Yes I do' that it dawned upon me that it was official.

I am now musa's wife...officially.

Three chapters today, Alhamdulillah.
