    "Haidar, my son I understand why you want to get married again. I understand that it's difficult when you love someone else, but Jamaima is a wonderful child. Give her a chance won't you please?" Abba; My father says in a concerned tune

    "Abba please. I promised this woman I'd marry her. She rejected eligible bachelors for my sake, I've known her since my first year. We've been together for 5years and in just 1week I married a different woman. I explained to her that I'd make her my second wife....."

      "Why do you want the wedding to be so soon?"

    "I had her inform her family that if I return I'll bring my people for her hand in marriage. And I have returned, and her family is willing to get us married in a week" I explained

      "No, I don't approve "

      "Abba please!" I beg

      "Even if I do, a week is too short to prepare for a wedding.."

       "No its not. My wedding with Jamaima was in a week.  Abba you're just trying to find an excuse, please Abba I beg you. I have to marry her"

     "Have to? What is this... A matter of life and death? "

      I bite my lip "something like that.."

      " something like that? Ahmed(haidar) if there's something you want to tell me, I suggest you say it right now" Abba demands sternly
     
      (Haidar's first name is Ahmad, His middle name Haidar. So he's Ahmed Haidar Abbas)

     "No Abba. Take it this way, I want to give Jamaima a chance but I can't stop blaming her for getting between Zahra and I. So in order to open up to her, I need to marry Zahra" I explain, hoping this will make him approve

      He thinks for a minute while stroking his cheek "I guess you have a point, I approve...."

       "Oh Thank God " I sigh

       "But..."
"Oh not the 'but'" I whine

"...Jamaima has to agree with this. I'm going to talk to her and you have some serious convincing to do with your mother" I gulp, mother will never agree....

    WOAH! WOAH! WOAH!

What's happening? The last thing I remember was jamaima telling him to say yes to Zahra's proposal. What happened after that? How about a little time travel.....(time travel effect)

    Haidar

   "I will marry you..."

   "I knew you'd come around, we'll be so happy together"

  "if you find a way to convince you father to do it in a week"

     Her jaw drops "A week?" She gasps

    "Yes, a week " I repeat

     "What of my dream wedding, it would take months to plan" she whines

   "Do you want to get married or not?"

    "Of course I do" she answers quickly

     "Then find a way to plan your dream wedding in a week....and also, I'm only attending the wedding ceremony. No occasions, you'll attended them alone"
  
     "Oh come on darling" she pouts. There was a time I found that cute but now, I find it annoying.

      "Don't you 'darling' me "I snap (does this sound familiar? Chapter 2. When he called Jamaima 'baby') karma is a bitch.

    She grabs my hand and I yank it away "Do you have a death wish?" I roar
