"WHATTTT." Layla said wide eyed .

" Pregnantttt ?!!! ." Surraiyah Exclaimed.

" Just kidding." I said .

" Girl , you had me excited for a sec ." Layla said .

" Me too ." Surraiyah said as she took a deep breath.

1 week later ~

Ibrahim ~

" Housainn stop moving so I could fix your hair ." Tahany was saying while combing his hair .

" We should probably cut his hair ." I told her .

" Nooo , I love his curls. He'll be fine. Right Housain you have beautiful curls like mommy ." She said .

" Just kidding , we going on a trip to grandma's house Housainii." I told them.

" Oh you going to your moms ? " She asked me .

" Yeaa , imma just see what they up to ." I told her .

In all honestly I had to talk to them about Fatima , but she couldn't know that . Yet .

" Alright , then I'm going to invite Layla and Surraiyah over. Tell everyone I said hey . " She told me .

" Bett , bye I love you ." I told her giving her a kiss.

" Later , love you too ." She said .

1 hour later ~

I arrived and seen everyone home . Great I can just let everyone know what's going on at once . Even Safia came to visit . We chilled , we ate watched tv talked about different things and I figured now was the chance to tell everyone .

" Alright guys , it's time for a family meeting." I told them .

" Family meeting? whats there to talk about ? " Zahara asked me.

" Yeaa .. what meeting ?" My brother Outhman asked me as my in law Halima, and my sister Safia looked at me.

" Yallah ... what is it ." My father looked at me serious .

" Okay , so you guys know Fatima . Expecially Safia ." I started .

" Which Fatima?" Safia asked scrunching up her eyebrows .

" Karima's friend ..." I said .

" Oh Yeaa I know her ... he's talking about the Arab girl that was with Karima the day of my birthday ." She explained to Halima and Zahara.

" Oh yeaa , I remember herrr." Halima said .

" Yea , she gave me weird vibes." Zahara said .

" Yeaa I'm still confused." Outhman said .

" Saleem's ex assistant and she became my assistant." I explained to him .

" Aiii , I know who you talking about . What about her ? " Outhman asked .

" Yea , I want to marry her ." I said lowly. As everyone had a shocked expression on their face .

" Wait i don't know if I heard that clearly , say it again." Zahara said .

" I said I wanna marry her ." I told them as Zahara started bursting out in laughter.

" Nah your a joke , I think your forgetting your married ." Zahara told me .

" is this true Ibrahim ? " My mom asked me .

" Yeaa it's true , mom." I told her .

" We don't know this girl , how about Tahany?" She asked .

" That's a whole seperate thing mama. I just wanted to tell you guys." I said .

" I'm speechless ." Safia said as Halima agreed.

" I'm not done." I told them .

" I went to go see her family like last week." I told them .

" Ibrahim are you serious ." My mom rhetorically asked  in her thick Arab accent .

" Yes , I didn't finalize anything I just met them ." I said .

" You have to come tell us before you just go meet people. We are your family." My dad told me .

"  Bro , I don't think you should go for a second wife and it's too soon  . You got married not too long ago and you should be focusing on Tahany ." Outhman told me as Halima agreed.

" Yeaa, I know she's Karima's friend and all but I don't think you should do that." Safia said.

" Yeaa no , that girl just don't do it for me . Does Tahany know because I would have violated you ." Zahara told me .

" No .. but im going to tell her ." I said .

" Whatttt no you need to tell her before you do anything ." Safia said sternly .

" I'm going to do it relax , just on my terms." I said.

" Is something happening at home , that you are saying you want a second wife . It will pass now forget about it." My father said .

" No , nothing is going on . I just love Fatima . So I'm going to man up and do something about it . I'm done talking about it ." I said .

" Either support me or not . I'm going to get engaged to her next week and I want you all to be there ." I said .

" The only way l'll support you, is if Tahany is okay with it." Safia said as everyone else nodded.

" We will meet the parents next week and talk ." My mom said .

" I'm just trying to make this a fast process and marry her . I'm not trying to do too much." I said .

" I take it that when we meet up to see the parents you've already talked with Tahany, Okay it's time to pray Isha, everyone go take wudu " Outhman said as everyone disbursed.
