Moab Sankara

It was a good day today and I realize more and more that I did not make the wrong choice. In a week we will be together and I will be able to touch her, maybe kiss her, but on the other hand, I think I am being unfair to her because I know deep down that we will never have a relationship like other couples. After all, we will miss one essential thing.

??: I can come in

Me: yes go ahead Amir

Him: what are you doing, you look a bit worried which is quite strange, you should be proud because you are getting married

You should be proud because you are getting married this Saturday.

Me: it's nothing

Him: uh uh don't try to lie to me

Me: it's just that...

Him: yes that?

Me: I feel bad about Dina, I wonder if I should put an end to our marriage, cancel it

Him: Yes, but why?

Me: Amir, you know it very well

Him: ah! ah! but why not tell her

Me: You know it well she will reject me the second she knows it

Him: no, you don't know that for sure

Me: but according to you Amir, would a normal woman want to marry a man unable to do his marital duties?

Him: there is not only that in a couple of relationships, you know Moab the intimacy was given to the married couple as a gift to be able to share something between them, but there is also love, support, knowing that there is a person for whom you care and who loves you above all

Me: you're right but maybe Dina doesn't see things the way you do

Him: the first thing I noticed about her is her simplicity, her calmness too, she will accept you as you are, if she doesn't it won't be because of your problem but maybe because she doesn't have feelings for you yet and nothing else

Me: honestly I don't know what to think, I just hope I don't screw up her life

Him: be a loving husband and you'll see that everything will be fine

Me: uh yes I hope so

ONE WEEK LATER

Dina Malick

It was Friday night, and just tomorrow...tomorrow I will be a married woman I'm a little anxious about what will happen tomorrow I wonder if everything will go well, and how will my future relationship with Mr. Moab.

We were all sitting in the living room and my mother was confident, she had managed to organize this wedding in three weeks, she was so happy for me that I could see why she was so confident that Mr. Moab would treat me well.

They were still talking when I slipped away from the room, as usual, I looked out the window at the sky, it was beautiful and had a nice color.

Me: my God what is going to happen

?: you are going to be unhappy

Me: excuse me but this is not the right time Irma

Her: oh if it's the right time, without counting on the fact that you're going to get married tomorrow with my luck, give up

Me: I give up, yes I give up, you know I never wanted to marry him and I'm fed up with you telling me that I stole your happiness, your luck, Mr. Moab never looked at you as a potential wife, he didn't make you any promise, he didn't give you any false hope, so where does the fact that I stole your happiness come from, is it the richness of the latter that fascinates you so much that you react this way? isn't it sister why you just can't support me, can't you see that I'm scared to death of this wedding, can't you support me for once, just once in your life Irma, please?

She: you will never have my support neither today nor after I wanted to be with Moab not only because of his bank account but also because of all his assets, he is so handsome and a person like him cannot love a person like you.....Dina Malick

?: that's not very nice

She: oh! mom, I was just saying that...

Mom: there is no point in arguing about it Dina will marry Moab tomorrow and she will not only have his bank account but also

not only her bank account but also this beautiful specimen. Is that okay with you Irma?

She: but mom

Mama: Mama nothing outside

When I went out, mom looked at me and I looked out the window as always.

Mom: Dina I am happy today

Me: really but why?

Mom: because for once in the Malick family a wedding is celebrated and it is not only based on the highest bidder

Me: Mr. Moab has also paid a large sum of money for dad to accept

Mom: I don't say no, but if he did it was first to be sure to get you for a wife, otherwise your father would have refused

Me: it is not false

Mom: try to be happy Dina, only for me

Me: I will do it, I promise

Mom: don't worry either about your night tomorrow everything will be fine

Me: tomorrow night?

Mom: yes your first night with your husband

Me: ah! ah! ah! uh! could we not talk about that, please

Mom: Dina

Me: mom please I'm ashamed

Mom: ok

Me: thank you

Saturday 8 pm

We had just finished the wedding ceremony at the church and at the town hall and now there was only the evening left. There were many people, especially on the side of Mr. Moab I felt sad and alone also the members of my family were little therefore they were not perceivable in the crowd I would have so much liked that Irma stood at my side on this day but she was not there. 4was sitting alone in the place that one had reserved for Moab and to me, him he chatted with his friends I only wanted one thing that this evening finishes quickly.

I could not forget what happened with the mother of Mr. Moab she was not aware of this marriage she showed me that she did not want me, and I understand how a son can plan to marry without the consent of his mother is absurd. I was so ashamed of my God and my mother too but fortunately, the tension has gone down I know that this woman has not accepted me and that worries me a lot.

???: hey oh you are here

Me: yes uh who are you?

???: I feel offended so you don't know your husband's brother

Me: ah sorry actually I have not been introduced to any of his family members

??: that's strange isn't it, my name is Henry Sankara

Me: Nice to meet you Henry

Him: me as well my little sister-in-law

Me: ok

Him: Moab didn't talk about you to anyone at home, that's why mom was angry with you earlier

Me: I understood that and I'm sorry for that I didn't know he had a family he never mentioned it

Him: No need to apologize, it's not your fault. Tell me Dina do you know my brother?

Me: No, I won't say. But I didn't have a choice about this marriage

Him: how?

Me: I won't say, but just tell your mother that I'm sorry.

Him: I will have all the time to know you, see you later

Me: Goodbye

I felt like crying what kind of wedding is this what did Moab do and what did daddy get me into from the start it's bad this day was bad

? you see that even your mother-in-law doesn't want you

Me: Irma I beg you not today I don't feel well it has not been a good day

She: oh that makes me happy at least I could avoid the shame of the century, so I thank you I do not stop replaying in the loop the way she spoke to you and your face moreover at that moment too funny

Me: I beg you.....Irma, not today I don't feel well, not strong enough to bear your insults please leave me.

She: oh you cry too bad, you shouldn't have accepted this marriage, it hasn't started yet that you already shed tears boff

I didn't say anything more I couldn't hold it back I was crying and I wasn't about to stop I was hurting for everything that had happened

??: Dina are you crying?

Me: mom........mom.....what did dad get me into........I didn't want this marriage......and you told me.....you told me that maybe it was a chance for me......to have a husband....and maybe children later but mom on this day......on this day I feel nothing. ....just sorrow.....sadness...mom let's stop this...I want to go home......how can I be happy when....my beau doesn't agree with this marriage and Moab never mentioned her family.....and also the shame she inflicted on me in front of everyone

me in front of everyone

She: shut up you don't have to cry it's a good day for you today

Me: no....no I should have stood up to you, to daddy and to mister Moab's stupid desire.....now I'm the one crying and I'm the one being laughed at......if you leave me here I'll let myself die.....I don't want to live with him......I've tried to be strong...but I can't take it anymore

?: we are married and you will stay married to me for the rest of your life

Mom: it's the circumstances that make him talk that way

Me: no, I don't want to stay with you at all, I want a divorce if that's what you have to say...you are bad Mr. Moab and I will never forgive you for having inflicted me the shame of today

Him: It's a good thing I don't give a damn. Now let's go home

Me: I won't go with you. Mom: If you let me go with him I will never speak to you again

Mom: It won't matter because one day you'll thank me for doing this. Mr. Moab, you can bring him

Me: I'm not kidding mom I don't want to go

Him: let's go

Me: I won't go with you I told you

Irma: pitiful

Him: you are my wife and I don't ask your opinion

He took me by the hand and pulled me towards the exit

To be continued..........
