After fourty days of staying at my parent's place, I came back home, though I met Asad's mum in the house, I thought she came to welcome me or something since she only came twice when I was with my parents
I was filled with joy, not until I saw her reactions towards me, she complains about everything I do in the house, she only carries the children when Asad is around
This went on for about a week, though I didn't speak to anyone about her behaviour not even Asad, because I wasn't sure of what was happening, I didn't want to be the cause of any problem between a mother and her son,
I payed more attention to my children and my marriage too...

I came back from school quite earlier than usual because our lecturer wasn't feeling too well and his lecture was supposed to be the last
I held Farah and Mama Sa'a followed with Farha in her arms, they were asleep so we placed them in their crib that was just beside my bed
I took a shower and headed out to greet mama, I was hearing voices in her room just as I approached the door
"I've already told you Asad! And you must obey that's final"
"Mama I've already told you I can't manage two wives and besides I don't even have feelings for her"
My heart stopped for a moment, I couldn't continue listening to their conversation, when did Asad come back, I didn't notice his car when I was coming in and he's supposed to be at work right now
I went back to my room...
Of course I couldn't hold back the tears, I don't understand why mama wants Asad to get married again...
The rate of my heart beat increased, I felt numb, I felt useless, I was so jealous already, I was already thinking who this might be, I was so confused still crying my eyes out I didn't know when fell asleep....

I was on my way to drop the bowl of fruit salad I was holding on the dinning table when I saw mama sa'a bringing back mama's food
"Mama said she'd dine with you today" before I could even ask, mama sa'a went ahead to the kitchen
She left me wondering why mama would dine with us today, she ordered that her food should always be taken to her room since the first day she came to this house
May she has changed her mind, I thought.
Asad was back from work since 5:30pm but I haven't seen him, I didn't check up on him neither did he, I didn't even notice whether he went to the masjid for maghrib prayer, I was beginning to worry so I decided to go check for him since it's almost dinner
"Hey daddy's baby don't stop crying, you see your sister isn't crying and mommy's busy" I heard him singing to farha who kept crying just as I approached the door to our room
I salamed and entered the room, I collected farha from him, patting her back trying to make her calm and stop crying
"You didn't go to the masjid yeah?" I asked still patting farha, she was now calming down but still crying a little
He carried Farah in his arms
"I did, you were in the kitchen you didn't notice, how was school?" He then moved closer to where I was standing
"School was fine, we had only a lecture, I came back quite early, sorry I forgot to tell you"
"You forgot you had a husband right?, btw I want to help clean your lipstick" he smirked
"Ohh hunnay it's mat..." he already grabbed my lips with his with the babies in our arms
And oops! Farah started her own episode of crying
"You see daddy's trying to be naughty" he looked like he was upset with farah, I just couldn't hold my laughter, was he jealous
"Big baby tell me you aren't jealous I'm giving them more attention" I teased
I fed the babies while he went to the Masjid for isha
****
It was time for dinner so went down stairs with the babies so we could have dinner, everyone was sitted waiting for me to serve the food
I served Asad's plate with curry rice with brown sauce and steamed vegetables
In the process my hand was stained with the olive oil I added to his steamed vegetables, so I used the other hand to serve mama
Before I even dished out the food to her plate she exclaimed
"A'uthubillah! Maryam!!" I quickly kept the serving spoon soon realizing I was about to serve her using my left hand
"What is all this, is this how you were trained? To serve elders using left hand, this is disrespectful and highly unacceptable in this house...." she kept on ranting bitterly about it as I reached for the hand towel to wipe the olive oil on my hand, I quickly apologised and served her food
The table was silent, that uncomfortable silence, our eyes met with Asad's and he mouthed a "sorry", I nodded and continued with my food
"All this wouldn't have been happening if you had married her" mama said to Asad
I was confused, my heart just broke into a thousand pieces, I heart was beating loudly, but no I couldn't react I had to be calm, but my heart was burning, I almost forgot about what I heard in the afternoon and now she said it again
"I thought we've talked about this already"this time he yelled at his mother with so much anger in his eyes he left the dinner table, me on the other hand had lost my appetite but I still sat there without a word pretending to be calm
After a short while of playing with my food, I left the table with my babies, I lost my appetite
I handed over the babies to mama sa'a so she'll help bath them before I feed them for the last time today, having done that I followed Asad to the room so we could "talk"
