" But you were just saying it earlier like, you just wanted to take the decision and like, you needed my approval first."

"Why will I need your approval woman?." He sneered.  " For what reason? Am I crazy?." He questioned himself.

"I'm not that stupid to seek permission from my wife before I make up a decision. I'm your husband and whatever I want, you must adhere to it if you want to stay in my house. And earlier, I was only saying that to see your reaction and like expected, you displayed the same drama as always." He said and I stood there dumbfounded. I just don't know what to do with him anymore. I feel like strangling him to death but I just can't. My sister would be mad at me and, I might go to jail.

Before marriage, I was aware that my sister hates him a lot, she never loves him. She had hated him so much for accepting their marriage but after the marriage, I saw her learned how to love him and accept him as her husband but this foolish man... He didn't bother to do that.

"You must be surprised right? Not only did my parents know about her but was also present the day I paid for her dowry and right now as we speak, she's also carrying my child."

" This is a lie! You're lying Ibrahim, this can't be! No, this can't be happening to me."

" It's happening already, my dear wife. It has already happened and there's nothing that can be done more. I know, I know that you just feel betrayed already, my parents had betrayed you already. They never told you about it. I mean, you're their favorite after all, and neither did the two of them talked to you about it. Now you must know, that my parents are traitors."

" Enough! Enough of your stupid talks. I will never believe you and let me make this clear to you Ibrahim, I... Will never accept that woman as my second wife in this house. Never!"

"I will never allow you to bring in another woman that will make you oust me out of this house. You had gotten all of this only because of me and would never allow you to bring in another woman to enjoy what I've worked so hard for."

"You kept talking as if you did work for this wealth of mine. I worked so hard to reach where I'm today after taking over the Chairman's post. You were just a pawn in my father's game so don't raise your hope high. And again, I'm not saying that I'm going to divorce you because of her."

" You can't even dare do that." My sister remark, almost immediately.

" I know right. I can't do that even if I wanted to. My parents might just diversify the issue into something else. Moreover, you've said it already. I can't divorce you... No, I won't do that to you, that will never happen."

" At least, if not for anything but as a sign of appreciation for helping me acquiring my post."

" Are you... Are you saying that I did you a favor? I mean, to you... Does that mean that this marriage was nothing but a business to you? Do you feel like, the reason I'm still your wife is because of what you've gotten because of me?."

" Obviously!" He answered, smiling. " Of course it's only because of that." He gave a humorous laugh.

" You're sick Ibrahim! Very sick!." She glared at him angrily.

He laughed.  "No need to get mad okay? Your position remains the same, you're my first wife and will still be my first wife. There's nothing in this world that can change that because even I hate the word divorce. I was never a fan of divorce and would never be."He said to her.

"Then what else do you want from me? I've been nothing to you but a good wife. I never fight or argue with you no matter what you do to me. I've always listened to you and agreed with every decision that you've taken. Am I not good enough for you? What does she have.....?" Her voice trailed off.  " Tell me, Ibrahim. What does she has, that I don't? Because I don't understand you anymore. Do you even know how it feels to decide  I'm good enough for a woman to decide from deep down in her heart to support her husband on every step that he takes even if it's wrong? I tried! I tried and you know it! Even if no ones tells me that, I know that I've tried enough for you but you... What did you give me in return? Nothing! Pure nothing!."

" You suffered me a lot! I was supposed to be your side but you've always treated me like a stranger. Yes, we are both not in love with each other but if we tried to give each other a chance, we can change. We can make a better home for ourselves. And here I'm, already carrying your child and I don't even know if you're happy about it. It seems like, you're happier with your wife's news than mine... Right?." She questioned him.

"I don't have time for all of this." He said as he tried to leave but my sister stopped him before he could leave.

"You said, I'm still your wife, right?." She asked him.

And, why is she still asking him questions? She can just forget about him and move on. I doubt if I will even get married in the future. I can't pass through all that she is going through right now.

I will always make sure to be the one that would be controlling my husband and not the opposite even if I get married someday!

" Of course!."

"Then, why do you need her?  Why do you want her? What was the need for paying for her dowry?  Why do you need to bring that woman into your life again? Why do you want to take in another wife? Why do you want to ruin me so badly? What exactly have I done to you? Just exactly why are you doing this to me? Why? Why? Why no Ibrahim?." She bombarded him with so many questions.

"Look Habiba, enough of your drama already, okay?." He said, instead of the idiot to answer my sister's questions.   "I had married Balkis already and there's nothing you can do about it anymore. No you or anyone else can now stop me from bringing her into their house. Because she's my wife already!."

"Walahi (I swear to God), you can't. Ibrahim, you won't even dare try such a thing with me! After all the talks and beg, you still stand firm on your decision to bring her into this house... right? Will, this is my own husband's house and if you feel like you want to make her live in a house like this, then you can as well build a house exactly like this for her. But as far as I'm concern, you won't ever dare bring that woman into this house, except if I'm dead."

"I've told you what I had to Ibrahim. Please, don't later regret your decision because if you do, if you dare tried to take that step you were planning to, you might regret your actions. Not that you might- you will regret it. Don't you even dare try me or else, you won't like the consequences. I've been warning you, don't say that I didn't warn you!"

"Look here you crazy woman, you can't be threatening me, okay? I'm not scared of you at all. I'm a man and a man of my word. I've given her my word likewise I've given you yours. I had told you that your position remains the same and no one will dare take that away from you and apart from that, it's not like you two will both love in the same room. There are plenty of rooms in the house. Yours remains yours and she will choose hers when she comes."

" I had told you, Ibrahim, stop bringing up that same woman's name in front of me else, you will hate me for what I might do."

" I'm not scared of you crazy woman! You're not my mother that I will be so scared of you. I'm a man of this house, your husband and I have the right to d what so ever I wish to do. It's my life, I can live it the way that I like and I can do whatever I wish to do with it. I'm your husband Habiba, I had paid for your dowry, not the other way round. And whatever order I had given today, to you like your husband, you have to follow it without any objection. You can't control me! I can! Because I'm the head here!"

"I swear to God Ibrahim, the moment you marry that woman and brought her into this house, then be ready to take her corpse out. Because I will be the one to kill her. For sure!"  She threatened him. I know what my sister is trying to do. She is trying to change his mind but the idiot was so adamant about bringing her home.

He kept claiming that he's her husband and can do whatsoever he wishes to do and my sister can not do anything about it.

"You won't do that... Do you know why? Because you don't have the gut to do anything. You can only make a mouth as always but can never take up an action. You're a naive young girl and that's who you are and would always be. And, what were you saying?  What did you just said that you're going to do? Aha.... Kill Balkis right? I don't even understand you, are you threatening me?! I... Ibrahim Rabiu, you're threatening me?!."

"You seem to have forgotten something, my dear husband." She smirked at him. I chuckled lightly, I'm loving this side of my sister a lot! She seems like a tough woman now. " It seems to me that you till now, you still don't know your wife too well. Did you just say that I can't do anything because I'm a coward? I'm not a coward Ibrahim, I was once a coward but only to you because I don't want to ruin my home. But now, it's never going to happen. That's all I'm the past and the new Habiba will show you what she's capable of doing."

" Okay then.... Let see, if your threat can work on me then."

"It's all up to you how you wanted to see it, either in a threatening way or an advised... from your dear wife. Sit down and think about it, what will be the best for you... Is it to bring in another wife or... You take her to wherever you wish to. You had said that you married her already right? And I didn't argue with you about that. It's your wish and I can't stop you but don't you dare... I repeat, don't you dare bring her into this house because that day, you will witness the new Habiba in your life." I wish she was saying the truth but, all was just a game threat like what her husband had said. But at least, she is coming out of her shelf.

"Now, I can see that it's of no use talking to you. You can not understand me and nor will you ever do." He said to her, disappointedly.
