Untamed

Chapter 4

I am so disgusted by the mere sight of him that I couldn't stay there anymore. The happiness I felt seeing sisi and her baby evaporated into thin air and was replaced by the anger and disgust I have for this man. To me he is an animal because no human will do that to another human especially a woman, his wife. I still don't understand why he agreed to marry her if he hated her that much.

"I'm sorry Afrah I know I've made a lot of mistakes but I swear to you I'm a better man now. I've learnt my lessons. After Aisha left, my parents found out about how I have been maltreating her and as punishment, my dad called his lawyer and the whole family and he told them that from that day henceforth, he forbids me from touching any of his wealth and properties and even when he is no more I won't inherit him. He indirectly disowned me" Amir said with his head hung low trying to hide his tears.

I didn't feel any sympathy towards him. Heck not even the pity that so many people despise. You can call me mean or cold hearted but he truly deserves that. He should have thought of the consequences of his actions when he was mercilessly beating the poor girl.

"So what do you expect me to do?" I shot back. Mom shot me a glare telling me to be less rude since he is still older than me.

"After the meeting, I lost my job, I was kicked out of my house and all my accounts were frozen because it was all dad's wealth. I had to start all over. The only thing I had was my certificates. So I started looking for a job. Finding a job is very hard. I was lucky one of my good friends(the only one remaining because they all left me when I went broke) gave me capital to start a business. So I now have a shop in the market where I sell clothes, shoes and bags. Please now that I have something to rely on I want Aisha to come back. I miss her so much. I now know that all the girlfriends I had were with me because of my money. Now that I have none, they all left." At this point, Amir was crying shamelessly. "Afrah please help me. I want my wife back. I now understand that she is a very good woman and a rare gem. She never asked me for even a penny when we were together. Not even when she had nothing to eat. She didn't even tell her parents or mine what her situation was. Instead she sold her jewelries and started a small business just to get what to eat without letting anyone know about it. Not even me. I found out later after we got separated. She truly is a rare gem. I hope she can find it in her heart to forgive me and come back to me."

"Look Amir I am not your wife and I'm not in the position to tell you Aisha will forgive you or come back to you. Because if it were up to me, trust me you won't even be here right now. I would have asked you to leave or better yet call the security guards to escort you out. But well since that's not my decision to make then I suggest you go and meet her and ask her for her forgiveness directly. You know where to find her." With that, I stood up and left the room.

I must admit I feel a little bit touched with his story but I hope Aisha makes the right decision and I hope she will thoroughly think about it. She is the person that is going to stay with him after all not me.

Everything happened so fast after that. I graduated from secondary school. I turned 18 and I got the best gift ever from dad, a Bentley. I almost suffocated dad with my hug and kisses. I was so happy.

I went for vacation. I visited places with mom and my cousin and best friend waleeda. We had so much fun. We went to Venice, Hawaii and New York. I never knew shopping could be tiring but well it was worth it. Before we come back we went to the holy city for umrah. It was an amazing trip but I miss home. I miss mom's dishes and my cute baby, Mia in fact I miss everyone, Aslam, dad and Ayra.

I got admission in Nile University, medicine and surgery. I was happy and contented I thank Allah for my life right now.
