The Don's Muslim wife

Marraige and merry making

Sadiya's POV
I can't believe I was getting remarried.It was hard to get married in this sexist community, but am happy not lucky, because it is my choice.

My parents were a handful,they had disowned when hakim divorced me and worse called me useless for not being able to conceive.

I still valued their opinions even after them kicking me out of the house.I was staying with my aunt now.She was my mom's sister.She assured me that my mom would come to my wedding,after my parents refused to bless my marraige.

I can't believe I said yes,to marrying Dean,well I didn't say it at the spot.I sort of chickened out and run off.Lets just say it became a goose chase .

He literally chased me into market,which I ended up,bumping into a metal pan,from a untensil shop.

I was beyond furious .we ended up at an ice cream shop.I had a huge bump on my forehead. The ice cream man kindly gave me a frozen packaged ice cream for the bump.

We just sat there silently, with him looking away.He suddenly burst out laughing which made me furiously get up and walk away.

He pulled my hand and when I turned to him, he was on his knees, holding a Ring.I don't even know where he got it from.

I never thought I would be asked for marraige, Hollywood style
Dean: please Marry me?
Sadiya:why please?
Dean:so that you won't run away?
Sadiya:yes.

I remember that day,he wouldn't stop smiling .We celebrated with ice cream and now we were getting married.

Dean had converted,and now had an Arabic name,deen.It was literally the same pronounciation just the spelling, and Deen means faith in Arabic.

We arrived at the mosque,I was so restless.We were about to officially tie the knot yet my parents weren't in.I accepted that this was for the best.

But suddenly,two figures walked in.it was them.Mother and father.The had expressionless faces,but they still came.deen winked at me.He made them come.

Deen and I finally got married.We were to go to my aunt's place for a little celebration.
We came out of the mosque.We stood infront of my parents.

Sadiya: mom,dad.
Mom: even though we were held at gunpoint to come here.
Sadiya: what (Deen looked away)how could you Deen?

Dad:it doesn't matter, your friend here(munira),educated us.she was right ,I have never seen you this happy .congrats dear, and we are sorry.

Sadiya:it's okay,am just happy you are here.(I hugged them,we were rudely interupted by hakim)
Hakim:isnt this beautiful.
Angelo: not this bastard , again.
Munira: language, dear.

Angelo:am sorry.
Hakim: wow,so now your wife,controls what you say.If she was with me,she would learn her place.
Munira:it's right that am not with you,because a man who lacks self respect,isn't a man at all.

Hakim:you have always been outspokened and you influenced sadiya.
Sadiya:am glad she influenced me because she helped me see my worth
