Life was not the same for me and my friends ,we were consumed with anger at what Rasheed did and we felt that we failed Noha. I decided to take a two week vacation and we left Tamara with my parents and Sara and I went to Sri Lanka. We got a private tour and had a driver take us around to the different places in Sri Lanka. We went to Nuwara Eliya where the local people call it 'Little England' because of how cold it would get and the fact that it was surrounded by tree plantations. We took a car up to the mountains and did an 11km hike to a place called the worlds end. After that we made a quick stop at Kandy and Yala National Park. That was one amazing experience waking up at Yala, we had monkey jumping on our roof of the hut we stayed in.
We came back relaxed and happy.As soon as we got back Sara wanted to change our bedroom and living room furniture .I thought this was absolutely crazy, our furniture was new and in excellent condition. She kept nagging for days and one day I could not take it anymore and we ended up having a heated argument. She was very upset so she packed her things and took Tamara and went to stay with her sister. She stayed there for a week and I did not call her nor did she call me , though I missed Tamara terribly I did not go to see her. My parents tried to persuade me to go and bring her back but I was so mad that I was having second thoughts about my relationship with Sara. I wondered whether she loved me or was it my money? The more i gave her the more she demanded. I got tired of being used or my wallet being abused. She always compared what this lady or that lady received as a monthly allowance from her husband and the expensive gifts they got to make me feel bad. I started to realise that she was a lot more materialistic than I had originally known and she was never content with what she had.
I went to Rana's house to see Tamara and Sara came over and talked very sweetly to me. She never seized to charm me, she is a beautiful woman and can be as sweet as honey when she wants to be.
By the end of the evening Sara and my cute baby came home . It was lovely to have them home . We put Tamara to sleep and went to our bedroom, it was an amazing night, whoever said distance makes the heart grow fonder was absolutely right.
My family was busy arranging Shemsa's big event, relatives and friends came over from all over the world. They had a big henna party at home. A reputable DJ was hired for the event . The theme was Indian and my sister wore a beautiful purple and green outfit which had gold embroidery. To complete the outfit she had matching Indian jewellery including the piece on her forehead . She looked gorgeous . My younger sisters and cousins wore saris . The groom family came together singing and dancing and one of the ladies carried the henna in a silver henna container on her head. I heard the thing she was so high that it touched our chandelier. Then they put henna on Shemsa and threw money on the tray. This was just ceremonial because Shemsa already had henna done on her arms and legs .The ladies danced and were served dinner in the garden and the party went on till two in the morning.
After two days Shemsa had her wedding ceremony at the Atlantis. The hall was done like a tent and it completely covered with white material, the backstage was all black with led lights and there were white rose chandeliers coming down . The table clothes were all white with tall vases of white hydrangeas and white roses .Scattered around the hall were lighted trees covered with jasmine and nargis, the whole hall smelled amazing. These flowers were specially ordered by my father from India. The chairs were wrapped in gold bows and gold chargers or under plates were placed on the tables. The sitting was for one thousand guests.The light effects were absolutely great. Singers such as Hussein El Jasmi and Rashed Al Majed were present at the wedding and Shemsa looked stunning with her Elie Saab gown, she looked perfect just like a princess. She wore crystal studded Louboutin high heel shoes accompanied by chandelier diamond and pearl earrings with a matching necklace. She walked in with three bridesmaids and three page boys.Sara wore a sea green embroidered dress by Channel which was very flattering and she looked gorgeous. The wedding was great, delicious food,wonderful music the whole ambiance of the wedding party was fantastic. I would know because us men sneaked in with the groom and stayed for the rest of the party. Of course a lot of the older women walked out as soon as the bride and groom cut the cake.
The following day Shemsa and Sultan went for their honeymoon to the Maldives. My parents were delighted that Sultan decided to move to Dubai and my father was busy pulling strings and arranging interviews for Sultan. With his educational background and experience it was not difficult to find him the right job.
With the wedding over and all the overseas guest gone life went back to its normal routine, Sara was out most of the time with her sister, either they'd go shopping or go out for coffee. She would usually drop Tamara at my parents and leave her there for hours but my parent were always happy to have her around so were very delighted with the amount of time they spent with their grandchild.
Rana was expecting her first baby so she was busy shopping for her baby. Unfortunately Rashid divorced poor Noha. None of us could prevent it as he was blinded by his love for Rana and she had him wrapped around her fingers and he would do whatever she wanted. We all believed he was bewitched by her , this was not love she had him under her spell.
