Co-wives Diary
Chapter 6:

Mubarak's marriage with Ramlah was fast approaching.. He was in his office that day as rain poured down heavily. The window of his office was shut down and the blind was drawn to brighten the small room. He rested his back with a pen dangling in his right hand. In front of him were some exam scripts.... A thought came to his mind as he was perturbed on how to invite his wife to his nikkah.

Mubarak soliloquized.

Mubarak : How do I convince beauty to attend my nikkah? I really want her to. I know it won't be easy for her but I want my wives to be friends and not sworn enemies and it has to begin from now.. It's true some polygamous homes are not encouraging and likewise some monogamous homes are also not far from  being house of commotions. Making my wives love each other means I have a lot to do with my actions and wisdom.. A man needs to contribute his time and effort to promote peace and harmony in his home whether monogamy or polygyny....... Insha Allah I'll make her attend  the nikkah out of her own free will and not by force. All I need to do is to assure her my love for her will endure till Jannah... Yes! And I need to start the work now.

Mubarak picked his car keys and took his umbrella.. He walked gently to his car and drove to his wife's shop.

Bilkees and Zainab: Assalam Alaykum sir (these two were Jameelah's apprentices. They were engrossed in working on sowing machines).

Mubarak :Waalaykum salaam...... How is everything?

Zainab and Bilkees : AlhamduliLlah sir.

Mubarak : Maa sha Allah, is Ummu around?

Zainab : Na'am she is sir.

Mubarak walked inside his wife's office.

Jameelah was also working on her weaving machine.. She left her work to embrace her husband.

Mubarak : I can see everyone is busy here.. Bad timing right?

Jameelah:  Maybe! (she smiled)

Mubarak : Okay, let me leave then.

Jameelah: Can't one joke with you anymore.. I am just kidding. Your appearance is very much appreciated and I'm sure you're here to make me crack smiles..... Habeeby, why do I love you this much?

Mubarak : SubhanaLlah! Allah knows I'm blushing in my heart at the moment .... Beauty, exactly the question I was about to ask you.. Why do I love you too this much, even more than you do?

Mubarak and Jameelah: Allah Has Placed His mercy on us and love into out hearts for each other.

Mubarak :You are my Maa sha Allah queen.

Jameelah: And my Mubarak, Olamide, Ayobami is the Maa sha Allah King of my heart.

Mubarak : That's the reason why I don't like spending time outside except with my queen.

Jameelah: You can say that again!

The two praised other for a while before he changed the topic.

Mubarak : Beauty, I want you to give me the estimation of the bills of what you and the kids will need for this coming marriage, I mean your wears.

Jameelah : Don't tell me you're stylishly inviting me to your nikkah.

Mubarak : Invite? You're the celebrant's wife..it's your occasion I don't need to invite you, only outsiders need to be invited.

Jameelah : Stop! I don't want anything to spoil my happiness. Why this kind of topic after trying to make myself happy. What's wrong with you? The fact that I've forgiving you for fixing the date of your second marriage with my best friend's sister without my knowledge does not not give you the guts to force me to attend as well. Is that the reason why you came here? (her heart raced).
