I need your comments guys please!!

Layla's Pov

The only thing that makes me happy now is knowing that my sister is back and nothing else!

Guess what ladies and gentlemen? My ex husband and I cannot go back together unless I get married again

A/N: According to what Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said, If a man and a woman get divorced and it's three times and didn't go back to each other during her iddah period, she has to get married to another man again.

This fact has been haunting me and everyone ever since we found out about the truth

I can't imagine myself being with another man apart from Aaban I can't imagine myself being another man's wife

"Aaban please stop telling me to do this I can't please" I sobbed.

"Do you think that I want this too,babe? I don't and I will never! I'd rather die than see you with another man but what can we do now? Our children's future is at risk. They need both their father and mother by their side" Aaban said.

"I can't and I don't want to let's say I agree to this who will even marry me knowing that I want to go back to my ex husband? I'm asking you something please tell me!" She shouted.

"Their is someone who is going to marry you my child,you and Aaban should follow me to the living room" Hajiya Halima spoke.

"Wh-what is she saying?" I asked.

"Let's go Layla" Aaban said and I nodded.

"As she told you,we the elders have planned something" Anty Falmata announced.

"But don't you think he will not like it and will feel bad thinking that we are just using him?" My father asked.

"He won't. I know my younger brother" Uncle Muhammad said.

I hope it's not what I'm thinking......

"Layla I hope you are going to agree to our choice please don't disappoint us we are just trying to help" Aaban's father said and I nodded.

"My child,we chose Fadoul to do this for us" My eyes widened like saucers

"What!?" I stood up sharply.

"Fadoul is like a brother to me for goodness sake" I let out a dry sob.

"That's why we chose him for you Layla" My father said with a sad face.

"Let's say I agreed to do so,what of his wife? Is she even okay with it?" I whispered but they heard me

"Qamrah and Fadoul got divorced last week" Anty Falmata sadly said.

"What?! And no one told me?" Aaban exclaimed.

"My dear your problems are enough for both you and Layla so why bother you with another person's problems?" Uncle Muhammad; Aaban's father said.

"Another person? Still" I scoffed.

"Back to our conversation. Fadoul has agreed after much persuasion it's your turn now" Anty Halima said.

"I-i will think about it" I broke into tears and rushed into my room.

"I'm the cause of everything! If only I was more patient if only..." I sobbed.

"Stop blaming yourself now" I heard Amirah's calm voice.

"What am I going to do now? I- I am messed up"

"You are not,you just have to think of Aman and Anam right now and make your decision. I know that it's very hard but at the end you are going to be happy inshaAllah right?" She asked.

"I don't think I'll ever be truly happy in my life Amirah" She pulled me to her chest.

"Now stop acting like a baby and man up you can do this!"

"Thank you Amirah" I smiled at her.

"You're welcome sis" She smiled back and left the room.

"Momma!!" I heard little footsteps approaching my room.

"Yes!?" I answered tiredly and just then the twins of the 'year' Anam and Aman ran in.

"Anty Lysa gave us Samuuusa, what's that?" Aman asked.

"Its Samosa and it's a snack" I placed both of them on my laps.

"Anty Lay" Mukhlysa approached me with a tray and a cup of grape juice

If you all are wondering who Mukhlysa is, she Fahad's wife.

They have two kids Fuad and Nadir

"Yes Anty Lysa" I beamed at her.

"I made Samosa and this munchkins are asking what it is" She chuckled.

"That is how they are fah" I said.

"Toh I brought some for you too since you haven't eaten anything today" She opened the tray revealing 6 samosas and three sausage kept aside

"Who is going to eat all this?" I asked with a horrified expression.

"You of course" She rolled her eyes.

She forced me to finish almost everything and the kids ate the rest

"Mukhlysa I feel like vomiting fah I'm very full" I said.

"Good" She grinned.

"I hate you"

"Love you too" She left with the tray.

I feel so loved but one thing is still breaking me deep inside

"Falisha for Allah's sake you know how I take Fadoul and how much I respect him. I can't do this" I helplessly said.

"You can do this Lay you have to make this sacrifice for your kids" Falisha muttered pitying her poor cousin

"What if I get pregnant after marrying Fadoul? It will add up to everything" Tears rolled down my cheeks at the thought

Not that even if it happens she will hate the child tho

"Falisha all of you that are trying to convince me to do this will never understand my situation. You know how much I love Aaban I can't do this" I cried hard making my whole body shake

"Then do this for your love"

"Yes Lay" They turned around to the voices they can never forget.

"Fadeela and Maryam!" I shouted, forgetting about all my worries and jumped into their embrace.

"How have you two been!? How is everything? How is life?" I asked as tears welled up in my eyes.

"Alhamdulillah" They chorused.

"Its been three years Lay! You look more beautiful seriously" Fadila said and they nodded in agreement.

"Hey ladies!" Falisha waved at them

I guess they've been meeting with each other

"Hello" The waved back equally happy.

"Lay we've been wanting to come ever since Lisha told us about your arrival but work kept us busy how have you been!? How are your kids?" Maryam asked.

"We are all fine Alhamdulillah" I smiled widely.

"Lay we've missed you" They pulled me into a tight hug again.

"I missed the both of you too and I'm sorry! I am such a bad friend and human being I shouldn't have left" I started crying,again!

Arghhh

"Come on Layla you only did what you thought was right for you and your kids that's all" Maryam said.

"Exactly Lay" Falisha and Fadila chorused.

"Are you two married?!" I asked suspiciously.

"Well yeah Fadila is even 3 weeks pregnant" Maryam squealed.

"Really!? Congrats b" I hugged her again and pulled out.

Well guys Falisha isn't married yet and we are all sad for her but she is currently seeing somebody

"Layla I heard that you are yet to give your answer about your marriage" Maryam said.

"What do you all want me to do? I can't do this really" I said.

"But Aaban too has agreed even though he doesn't want it" Fadila said

"I know him and I have to hear it from his mouth first" I said strictly.

"And you have my permission to go on with this since we are going to be together later on InshaAllah" I heard Aaban's voice and I looked at him

He looks very hurt and heartbroken I can see it clearly

"But--- "

"No buts babe, do this for us" He said and walked away.

"Nooo!" I screamed into my pillow which was later soaked.

"Baba I've agreed to marry Fadoul".

Yoyoyo!! What was that?! I can't believe it!

Do y'all think that Layla is perhaps going to end up with Fadoul!?

Don't hate me and don't stop reading this book just be patient!
