Diary of a polygamous child
Continuation...
"I still love my family, I love your mother very much, my decision to take a second wife will not reduce the love I have for my family, I love you very much"
That was what my dad told me this morning before going to work. My dad still love us, then if truly he love us very much why would he go for something that would break us.
Oh, did I tell you my dad explained his reason to take a second wife?
Yes he did, my dad came home early that day, which was a first since the "breaking news", after we observed our maghrib prayer in the evening, my dad called us all to sit, he told us that there is no string attached to his taking of the second wife. " I have no sexual desire for the woman, I just want to help her, she is a widow with four children, the children are young that the last born do not even know his father is not with them anymore, they are orphans, and they take a very special place in the heart of our Holy prophet Muhammad(s.a.w), Even in the Qur'an, Almighty Allah talked about them, so I just want to help the orphans, be a father to them. Therefore, I am pleading with you, my family to please understand, let us give from what we have, and surely Allah will keep blessing us" my dad said
We were all confused and kept staring at each other before my mom talked
" So you just want to help the children, if then why don't you bring one of them to live with us, we will take good care of them, you can also set the woman up on a business, let's take good care of the orphans like our own since it's only help you...
I don't know what's wrong with you! why are you opposing me, they are orphans for crying out loud! why are you behaving like this, what do you really have against this woman, huh! My dad outburst interrupted my mum. My dad walked out angrily and mum started weeping, my siblings were also weeping and I just kept it all in.
"They've been seeing each other for 2 years now" my mom said to no one particularly with sobs
I was rendered speechless. There and then everything started to resurface.
I do notice my dad taking secret calls, calling someone "my dear" on the phone which was definitely not my mum, because I know the way my dad do converse with my mum on phone. My dad is a type of person that do let us play with his phone, but suddenly my dad stopped leaving his phone for us to play with anymore, he put a lock on his phone,which totally made his phone unaccessible to us.
I don't know what to feel again, should I understand my dad, give sympathy to the woman whom my dad said he have no string attached with, whereby he has been seeing her for 2 years, without us knowing.
I want to give sympathy to the widow and the children but I don't know, I don't feel anything for them, for crying out loud 2 years, my dad has been with them, lying to us, I am angry at my dad, why would he!,and he expected us to just kiss up to his decision, support him and Pat him on the back, just like that.
I am so angry that I want to burst into tears, I want to smash things, break the wall, I am sooooo angry, my heart aches, my head is throbbing, my hand is shaking, I feel down, and scared.
