lank is the only thing my heart felt like When the announcement of the validity of my marriage was made. I can't believe that I'm now a married man, I now have a wife that even I myself don't know yet.

can't still come to terms that she save my family and Aisha's family from shame. Who knows, whether she just found the opportunity and went with it as her own plan of stealing my money.

I won't let any woman deceive me ever again, I'm going to keep a firm watch on her. She might be working with samira, if I found out that my speculation was right about her she would regret it, I promise.

We all went out of the mosque and drive home in our various car. The wedding isn't like all type of your usual wedding, their were no events of any other things, of course I requested for it to be like that. The family of the wife all went to her house ( Aisha's house)after we finished from the mosque to continue the celebration while my own family also followed us home.

When I got home I received a lots of congrats from the female, they begain to do some cultural singing and all stuff. I went straight to my own section of the house after the greetings from family relations. My wife would be brought to my house this evening and I'm still wondering who could she be, why does she have to do this.

Everyone can believe her own lie of helping but I still don't believe her and if I find out that I was right all along she is in deep shit.

She would regret it if it's all a lie. But I guess I will find out when she comes to my house.

Now it's our house. I tested the word in my mouth and it sounds foreign and felt so surreal to me.

I quickly changed my clothes to a blue shadda when I got to my section of the house. We would be living here till I finished building my own house, it just remaining some minor things before it will be ready to live in.

Khalifa is with the ladies at the main house showing off his good manskills . Sometimes I do wonder how all my families already know him.

That man is something else

My room is already cleaned by the maids, everything Is in order and the remaining thing Is for the wife or should I say, my wife to be brought in.

Some of my friends later came to visit me an were offered some refreshments while others left immediately After the visits.

In one words my wedding wasn't any usual kind of your dream wedding. It was the most boring wedding to some people while some don't care.

" I knew I would find you here" came Khalifa's manly voice. I spared him a look as he came to join me and say across the chair facing me.

" what are you thinking about "

He was giving the vibe that he knew I'm disturbed about the wedding.

I shrugged and reply with a simple " nothing "

"please don't think too much about it, since your mom approved that the lady is OK then you shouldn't think too much about it" he said in is own friendly way to which I nodded.

We later changed the topic.we talked about the new investors which I told him about on the day samira came to visit. The contract which we requested for was approved, The good news was emailed to me this morning.

At least that was a good news.

It was the first contract I signed for and happy to say it all went well. Khalifa also told me about his company, they were having some problems right now and with time everything would be resolved. Now that I'm a married man, I just pray that Khalifa would also try and settle down. He dated alot of ladies but has never been serious with them ,I dont know when he would at least be serious with one.

" when are you planning to settle down" I asked, out of the blur. He was looking at me like I was crazy.

" really, did you just ask me that question" he said while pointing at himself, I shrugged at him.

" well any ways, to answer your question. I'm not yet ready, I haven't found my dream girl yet but when I do, you would be the first to know" he said in a smug way.

" Really, so are you trying to say that among all the ladies you have been dating and the ones you are dating now, you haven't at least found someone you are serious about" he shrugged as a no.

This guy is really a womanizer, how would he find someone better when he himself is not even serious.

" you're -" was cutoff by sadiya

" he is sick" she said in disgust

" I new that you love to flirt but I never knew that you're this disgusting " I can't believe the nerve of this girl. First she cut me off and now she's insulting my friend.

" shut up sadiya or I'd give you a dirty slap" I roared out while she quickly shut up in fear that I'd slap her, I can't believe she doesn't even have some respect for my friend.

" Who ask you to put your mouth in something that doesn't even concerns you. what are you even doing her" I said in angered and she was about to cry.

What's wrong with her, I didn't even touch her yet she's already crying.

I take a breath in to calm myself " just get out" she left immediately I asked her to.

I turned to Khalifa and see that he was looking guilty and nervous. I didn't see a little bit of anger in him, definitely something is wrong.

" what is it Khalifa, did something happened between you and sadiya" I asked him in my own overprotective brother tone while he quickly shake his head.

" No -nothing happened " he said with a fake smile and that proved it that something definitely happened between them and I must get to the root of the matter.

" Tell me the truth, Khalifa. You know that sadiya is my baby sister and I can't stand it if something happens to her"

" look Khalifa, I know that you're worried right now and I don't want to ruin your wedding night for you ,so please let's leave it till tomorrow. I'd tell you what happened " he said while scratching his neck.

I let the matter be but I'd still find out. We went to the mosque to pray our Asr prayer,it was already time for praying.

****

" son please take care your wife, she is now your responsibility . Guide her to the right path and be patient with her, Sabr is also a key to happy marriage. " mom went on with her word of advice and I nodded as she kept saying them.

My wife as they all called her is now waiting for me in my room. She was brought in not long ago, which is why mom has been giving this pep talk and all that. I'm already tired, I need my sleep now.

"Mom, I've heard what you said can I go now" I asked in my own puppy eye for her and she playfully slapped my back

And told me to leave.

I walk to my section of the house, I salaamed before entering since we are now two people in the house. But no one answered

Maybe she is sleeping ....i thought

I walked to my room and knocked and I heard a small voice saying "come in". I went in and was met with a lady in a peach lace and a big Vail covering her head on the king size bed. I wasn't able to see her face because her head was bow down.

I fully walk into the room and slowly made my way to the bed. When I got there I greeted " salamu alaikum" and she answered in a thin voice " waalaikumusalam" .

Maybe she even pretend to make her voice thin..... I thought.

I cleared my throat " OK, to cut the chase short ,I want to know the main reason you agreed to this marriage and I don't want to hear anything I already know before"

" I don't have any motives for marrying you but you can believe whatever you want to believe " so she is a feisty one.

" Really? and you want me to believe that " " then you're mistaken, I'll get to the root of all this" I said

" Don't you even feel shameful of marrying your bestfriend fiance, what do you think she'd say when she comes to know about it. " I said in disgust while she quickly look at me in the eyes. Now ,I see what she looks like but the face looks familiar. I tried--

" You" she pointed at me in shock and then it clicked that we met in my company. She is the lady that bumped into me.

" so it's the childish lady " I mocked

" You're the one been childish and rude the other day, you couldn't even say sorry. Let me remind you I'm not a betrayal to my friend, you no nothing about our friendship so don't say something you don't even know about" she said through Gritting teeth, she looks so angry.

After she finish saying that I was left speechless, she turned and quickly ran to the connected bathroom.
