Abdul-Sharif was determined to take a second wife, despite the pain this was causing his wife Asiya, and his deep love for her. Will Asiya be able to forgive him? Will she be able to adjust to the new situation? Will his new wife, Firdousi, be able to overcome her bad experiences with her first marriage and get over her fears of being divorced again? Will she adjust to the cultural differences between her and her new husband? There is nothing graphic here, but the subject matter itself is mature. This short story is dedicated to my dear friend Khadijah, who showed me friendship when she had no reason to, and who has now passed on. Inna illahi wa inna ilayhi rajaoon. (We belong to God and we return to Him.)
