Chapter 60: Chapter 60

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.
