How To Get A Divorce From A Billionaire ?

Episode 9

_" i'm just a man who is trying to keep his family"

Once Eliyas finished saying that... the word "family" kept echoing in my head.

Eliyas never called or regarded his relatives as a family, by that of course i mean even his father, mother.. And younger sister not to mention further links. In the past when i observed his daily interactions with them it was akin watching an acting performance .. He really was just an actor following a monotonous script with no need to display any emotions at all, he only obeyed the formalities and minded nothing else.

Except for the few times when he had fights with his mother and sister, he didn't have that much of interactions with them. Usually the subject of their quarrels was Eliyas's wife, namely me. Sometimes they complained about my lack of warmth and respect to their regard, sometimes they just invented an imaginary situation and created unnecessary chaos from thin air just to discomfort me.
When the couple of mother and daughter moaned like wounded cats and displayed their most pitiful state that the one might think i was a living monster nurturing of the hurt i did to them, I'd usually be standing to the side observing their drama impatiently, being a journalist gave me great deal of patience and perseverance so such small matters didn't affect my mood at all.

During these situations Eliyas surprisingly often dropped his cold attitude towards them and chose to scold them for being a nuisance, he addressed his mother with words like: "she's my wife, that of course means she legally is linked only with me and you have no relation with her ..i see no reason for her to treat you as a daughter when you're not her mother" .. " if you want to see a smiling face that much then you can smile to your self in the mirror.. She has no obligation to smile to you, she's my wife and not your clown" .. " i see no reason for you to tell me such trivial matter, it is not considered a crime in the law nor a sin in religion, i'm not your psychologist so as you come empty your heart to me whenever my wife has an encounter with you"

I remember during one of their argues his mother threatened to severe her ties with him if he didn't force me to kneel on the ground and apologise to her, he went so far in his coldness that he boldly said:

_" my only relation with you is that you gave birth to me.. And for that i paid you more than a fair amount of money with my work in the company, other than the inheritance issues i have no other link with you.. So go ahead and cut the imaginary tie you have with me because i will absolutely not make my wife kneel to whoever."

He sounded quite heroic that night, after saying these words he simply walked pass me to climb the stairs towards our room, leaving his mother playing a one man show of agony and despair.
That night i felt the need to correct some conceptions for him, like the fact that if he disobeys his mother then he will be automatically sent to hell. Not that i was a selfless person with a heart with the size of the universe.. My reason for being humanly was that i honestly thought he really had no proper moral learning and i was curious about that.

So i followed him to our room.. When i walked in i found that he already started to undress to put on his house wear.

I crossed my arms.. Leaned on the closet, and i asked coldly:

_"don't you think you went overboard?.. After all, that lady is still considered your mother, and there's an obligation to obey her"

_"would you have preferred if i made you kneel and apologize?"

_"that of course is her wishful thinking, i only bow to allah. Even you can't make me kneel even if you wanted to. I'm just curious to know why you seem very indifferent to your family"

_"Noursine.. In what way do you see the people living in this household a family?" He asked after he popped his head out of his sweater neck.

His hair went messy .. And his face held a mocking smile.
