choices that made

chapter six: my ex my husband

Office

'good morning ma'am, sorry i had to go and powder my nose soo i didn't see you come in' my assistant mary said

'it's okay mary even i came in late today' i said and she nodded just as I was about to speak she cut me off saying

'i actually came to inform you that the clients have arrived'

'okay' i was pissed that's why i gave her that short and curt reply she does know that the meeting is important and she didn't cut to the chase, I just stood up and made way to the conference room, you all must be wondering what type of work i do well I'm an event planner and manager the ceo of A+ PLANNERS to be precise i specialize in everything to do with events i.e venue, food, theme, dress, plans, make-up, gyaran-jiki sessions both traditional and modern, photo shoots and so on and the best part of all these is that i can do them all

'Good morning all' i said as i sat in the conference room i observed them all and i saw a sweet looking young lady and a man beside her they actually look cute and that made me envy her but in a good way

'morning I'm marufat the bride' she said looking at me 'and this is waheed Danburam my fiancee' she said pointing at him and giving him a sweet smile which he returned how i wish... back to business ahad don't let the affection they show towards each other affect you it's not like you've never seen couples that are soo in love with each other afterall you meet them almost everyday another part of me said

I nodded and started talking 'okay soo you contacted me about your wedding soo i want to know the colour you've chosen and the events'

'well' she started 'i wanted White to be in the colour combination but i decided against it and picked cream instead and the rest of the colours i want you and waheed to choose'

'okay but how many and what events do you want' i said

'except the nikkah we want three events which is the bridal shower, walima and dinner and for their themes for the bridal shower i want something that says from miss to mrs it should come off a little childish but with a touch of maturity, and for the walima i want something that screams muslimah and wife in a traditional way and last of all the dinner we said since my mom is an indian, his mom a hausa woman and our dads shuwa Arabs we want something that defines all three parts of culture all in one, so as the dishes each and every single detail including the lights, and for the venue the bridal shower should be held in a restaurant or bakery that has an open space ,for the walima since it's just ladies i want it to be held in the backyard of my fathers house its big and can give room for the traditional theme we are looking for, as for the dinner I'll let you decide among one of the halls you have and colours too because we are bad at choosing colours' she explained all i one breath occasionally using her hands for gesture

'okay for the dinner we're going to use golden, maroon and cream to give us an Arab setting as for the indian and hausa colour we'll decide together ' i said

'Alright it's okay i was hoping for that too, soo see you next time for the dresses and cakes' she said excited i really like like her she made my work easier on like some people that don't even know what they want

'insha Allah I'll email you the address and we'll also discuss the gyaran jiki session too' i answered back and we all stood up at the same time  i extended my hand to her for a shake but instead she pulled me into a warm hug and it's pretty unprofessional if i may say but i sure needed it

'i'm soo sorry for her behavior ' waheed apologized to me a gave his fiancee a reprimanding look

' it's okay' i said sincerely  and he nodded and said they'll be on their way soo that's how the meeting ended

∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆

'is that what she said' he said stroking his beard and looking directly at her

'yes yaya and not even that alone she also had the verge to slap me right here on my cheeks' she stated adding lies and breaking down into new series of cries and tahir just nodded his head in a way that says she'll see what I'll do then he cleared his throat and told her to leave he'll handle the matter

A week later

He just grabbed her by her arms  and pushed her against the wall in the parking lot

'who do you think you are to say all those stupid and filthy things about me and my family and you even had the guts to slap my sister' he yelled and she was struggling in his grip

'msteeeeeewww' she hissed and he was taken aback by her attitude she then forcefully snatched her self from his grip

'who am i not to say whatever i like about you or do whatever i want did i ever question you when you emotionally harass me  did i? Did i ever question you when you physically harass me huh did i? Answer me' she fired back at him before he could even think of an answer  to give her she fired back again

'listen and listen to me carefully' she used all her five fingers to point at him 'i am not some rag doll that you'll drag around and clean every disgusting surface you find enough is enough just because i chose to keep shut all these years doesn't mean I've forgotten anything i still remember exactly what happened and you surely don't want to mess with me because i hold fire for my hands and you for whatsoever reason don't have the right to treat me in this way and you should go back to that whore sister of yours and ask her to tell you exactly what happened msteeew' she hissed again and started walking over to her car then she heard his laughter that laughter she dreaded to hear because she knows what will follow and it's not gonna be good

'speaking of rights i have the right to be respected by you' he said pointing a finger  at her

'and why would i AHAD MALIK
WAMBAI respect you if may ask?'  she asked but sounded more of a statement than a question because she's afraid of his answer, she's afraid of what will come next, it took him just three steps to reach her because of his height he leaned in close to her ear and whispered

' oh i don't know maybe because you are still my wife'  he said it he said what she has spend three years consoling herself he has rubbed salt on her now healed wound and it's now fresh, to the world and her family she's a divorcee but only her and tahir actually know the truth that he didn't divorce her, that they're still man and wife legally and islamically .......

Shocking right i wasn't expecting it i just found out recently too, but the question here is WHY DID AHAD LEAVE TAHIR EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE STILL LEGALLY MARRIED???  What did he do which was soo bad that she had to make the CHOICE of leaving him without a proper divorce?
