"I don't need all this lectures of yours just tell her what we've decided regarding Aliyu or I'll tell her myself and I'm sure you don't want that" Hajiya Nafisa said as her husband sighed shaking his head
"Maryam" the elderly man called
"Na'am" she said as she tried to stop crying
"We've decided that we'll try our very best to find a donor for Aliyu and if we're not able to and Allah take his life then so be it" he said as everyone exclaimed "Inna illahi wa inna illahi raji'un"
"And if Alhamdullilah, we're able to find a donor and the transplant goes successful and he recovers and is healthy again then we're going to make sure Aliyu gets a second wife" he said as she looked at him for a moment before looking away from him
"We knows Aliyu loves you a lot and he cares about you but we're not sure of you, we're not sure of how you see Aliyu or if you feel the same way he feels for you and I won't blame you for that cause you both didn't get to know each other before your marriage"
"But at the same time, if Aliyu loves then he loves wholeheartedly and genuinely, Aliyu loved you despite everything, the sudden marriage, sudden situation and never once has he ever complained of you, he supports and stand by you I'm sure you're aware of that and I'm sure you also know in return of all this Aliyu deserves to also be loved"
"You both have been together for a year now and I've never seen as much affection from you to Aliyu then I have seen from Aliyu and you're well aware his a heart patient and now as Allah destined we are in this unfortunate situation where there's no longer guarantee on the life of our son, Allah May decide to give him another chance or take him to rest, if that happens you become a widow, your kids becomes fatherless and we'll loose a son and In Sha Allah that won't happen"
"If In Sha Allah we're able to find a donor and Aliyu gets himself back and is healthy again then we'll get him a second wife, he needs to be loved and I'll find a suitable woman who's capable of loving and caring for our son even with his flaws, I know Aliyu is stubborn and will refuse another wife but I'm sure you also know all feelings and emotions lies in the heart, the heart that Aliyu uses to love and care for you is about to die and if it's replaced things won't be the same"
"The heart he would have won't recognize or love you, with time it might start to love you but it'll never love you as much as Aliyu's heart does, his memory would work the same and remember you as his wife and your memories together but the heart won't love you as much as Aliyu's current heart does, it'll learn to love you with the more time you spend together and you need to know something as well, that heart would be capable of loving someone else, and if Aliyu gets remarried to a woman we either choose or a woman he chooses, he'll eventually learn to love her and you'll learn to share your husband"
"Please pray for him and his good health and pray Allah helps him and know that you'll always have a place in Aliyu's life and I hope you do in his heart as well but we're certainly getting him married to someone who would love him and I hope you get to accept it with time, I'm telling you earlier on so you won't try to oppose when the time comes and if you have anything to say, you should say it now, tell us if you're against it" he said as he looked at Maryam who's still trying to process all she was told.
She can't blame the parents, they had every rights to do what they're doing, she had more than a year but she messed up, but will Aliyu ever be able to love her the same if he gets a heart transplant.
She's definitely not a woman that embrace polygamy or polygamous men, she couldn't forgive Aliyu when he kissed Alayna and now his going to get married to another woman and will probably do more than kissing, can she handle that.
