Dina Malk Sankara
I was thinking about what my mother had told me, I was thinking that maybe I should give my children the chance to have a father around them, would accepting Amir as a husband be a good decision, anyway I had no choice, we were already married.
I went to prepare the meal for the children while thinking, I was really in a dilemma and I did not know what choice to make, what to do or not to do I did not know.
A few minutes later
The doorbell rang so I went to open it was Elena and the kids, they came in and we went to the living room.
Me: did you have a good day
Her: oh yes I did
Me: they didn't bother you too much I hope
Her: not at all they are so adorable
Me: thank you very much
Her: you're welcome
Me: and Henry didn't come with you?
She: no he got a call so he went to work
Me: I see, you stay for dinner I was cooking
She: yes we are staying I will tell Henry to pick us up in the evening
Me: ok I'm going
She: yes I'll join you, I'll put the kids in front of the TV and I'll come
Me: ok
A few moments later Elena joins me in the kitchen, we cut the vegetables in silence until she starts the conversation.
She: what is it?
Me: nothing why?
She: you are too silent much too although you are not a person who talks a lot usually you speak to put the people at ease. What is it?
Me: I'm married
Her: no wow with whom? And how come we don't know about it?
Me: with Amir, all this is because of our mothers they made us sign a marriage certificate without our knowledge
Her: no, and what are you going to do now?
Me: I don't know, I told Amir that we should contest this but he doesn't want to, on the contrary he would really like us to stay married, do you realize that?
She: yes, but I am not surprised
Me: why?
Her: Amir is in love with you and has been for a long time
Me: How can you know that? It's true that I suspect it now, but how do you know it?
Her: It is so obvious Dina
Me: ah well but I never noticed anything
She: rather says that you didn't want to see anything
Me: uh I can't become his wife
Her: but why?
Me: he was Moab's friend, it is a bit like a betrayal, besides I don't like him, at least not like that
Her: Amir really deserves to be loved, he deserves that the woman he loves, that is to say you, loves him back, during this time he was not with anyone, he was faithful to you even when there was nothing between you, he also deserves to be loved and it doesn't matter if he was your husband's friend or not, I too was once with Moab, but today I am married to his brother, why I don't find it strange, it is not a sin if you love the friend of your late husband, Dinah give him a chance.
Me: it's true what you say but what if I could never love him? What if I make him suffer because I can't love him?
She: you will end up loving him Dina I assure you Amir is so adorable and you are his world, if it is not with you that he will make his life and well he will not make it with anyone I know it, do not push him away.
Me: it is true that I owe him so much
Her: besides, he loves your children so much, he loves Mika and Neo so much and that's really too good
Me: yes, it's true, I say, smiling a little.
She: then accept what destiny has already offered you, you deserve happiness Dina, not only are you my sister-in-law but also a friend, the best one maybe, you could have rejected me when you knew I had a relationship with your husband but no you didn't do it today when you need support know that I'm here.
Me: yes, okay, thank you very much Elena
Her: there is no need now to cook, I have a hunger of ogre
Me: yes and the children too I say laughing.
One week later
Amir Sow
A week had passed, I think it's time to know, to know Dina's decision, so I went once more to her house, I knocked on the door and it was Elena who came to open the door.
She: good evening
Me: Good evening, is Dina there?
She: yes she is on the balcony joined it
Me: ok, thanks
I entered the house and was welcomed by all these little monsters who were in full play
Neo: Daddy Amir, did you come to save us some candy?
Me: Oh no son but next time ok?
Mika: uh uh he answers with his brother in a nod
Me: I'm going to go talk to mom and I'll be back
Mika: yes you know mom, a little sad today, you'll make her laugh and a kiss
Me: yes I'll give her a smile and lots of kisses
I got up and went to meet Dina, I saw her back and I joined her on the balcony
Me: good evening Dina
She: oh it's you good evening
Me: Mika told me that you were a little sad why
She: I am not he may have misinterpreted my silence she says smiling
Me: ok.
She: I finished thinking and decided that we would stay married
I was going to dream I looked at her without blinking
Me: really say I all happy
Her: yes, mom said that my boys need a father and who can be better placed than you for that
Me: thank you Dina it is really an honor
She: the honor is mine
She didn't seem very happy but I was going through with it, I had the intention to make her happy, Dina you won't regret your choice
Her: Are you going to tell our moms or should I?
Me: I'll do it
She: well thank you
After that we continued talking and agreed on the establishment of our future life.
One month later
We had organized a small party here and in Senegal for the announcement of our union, I had bought a ring for Dina and many other things, I had paid the dowry which was right. I bought a new house so that Dina and the children could be comfortable, we moved in and Mika and Neo were so proud of it because they could run around the house as they pleased. I couldn't tell what Dina was feeling, she didn't seem happy or unhappy, Moab's mother often visited us to see her grandchildren and Dina, I made sure that Dina kept Moab's name on hers, she was now called Mrs. Dina Sow Sankara, I also named the children after me, Mika Sow Sankara and Neo Sow Sankara, Dina was happy about it and even hugged me to thank me.
