Malika's POV...
"Aunty Asma'u had called that her son, jabir will be graduating from secondary school next week .
She want you to be there and you should come with reihana along." He said.
"Really?" I asked, not demanding an answer .
"wow! He's a big boy now ,before you know it, he'll be in the university and even working, time flies ."
"So reihana will you go with me or stay with your lovely daddy ?" I asked.
She smiled and said "I'll go with you, daddy will always be at work ,and I'll have to stay home alone, and I don't want that ."
"Alright ,next week we'll be on a flight again ,she giggles upon hearing that."
I pray he don't bring any woman home when I'm away ,I have sleepless nights praying and hoping some day he'll change ,but its only getting worse.
I don't know what to do about this ,I don't even know what I've done wrong to get this, I've been loyal my whole life .
I used to believe married men are matured minds and they know how to treat women right ,but reverse is the case.
Does that means other women are having same issues in their life ,or is it just me, or is it just qadr (fate)from Allah,well I'll accept it as qadr .
Allah brought me here ,he alone will take me out of it.
Abdulhakim's POV
I wonder what she's thinking over there, I hope she's not thinking I'll cheat on her this time again.
The annoying part is that I don't even know if I'll cheat on her or not, I don't even know myself anymore ,I don't know why I'm doing this or why I did all of it .
I won't deny it , knowing I've hurt her for the ninety ninth time .....or a hundred times.
I never thought I'll do all this to her, I thought one woman is enough ,I thought I'll be the best husband and dad on earth .
but here I am ,cheating on malika after ten years of marriage,I don't think a young man of twenty one, full of worldly issues will eff up like I've been effing up.
ya rabb (oh lord) see me through all this ,put me on the track of being the best Dad and husband.
"Hey babe! Lets go to bed and guess what ? tomorrow's breakfast is on me " i said .
"So will you prefer your breakfast on bed or ??? "I asked raising an eyebrow at her .
She laughed hard holding her stomach ,like everything will pour out of it.
"What?" I said, as i swat her by her shoulder .
"I'm serious ,I want to make up for all the short comings I've caused you, I know I've effed up big time ,I just want to put some things right ,for I know I can't put everything right".
" Pleasssssse ....let me do this " i begged .
" Alright ! You are good to go chef". She said.
" Reihana what are we having for breakfast ?" I asked her ,she smiled and said
" since daddy is doing the cooking let's do something different from tea ,bread and fried egg".
We gave her a smile as she talks .
"Lets have boiled yam with egg sauce!" She concluded .
"Is that all ?" I asked
"I was thinking ... How about you bake a cake ?"
