My mother was against the marriage. She got on a plane and came to Tunisia and argued with Arafat. Now I understand what my mother was upset about. If I had known what I would have to go through; I definitely would not have gotten married. I was with a great leader, but I was also all alone. I lived intrigues and schemes just like Hürrem Sultan (wife of Suleiman the Magnificent). When I watch the show with my daughter, she sometimes asks me if it reminds me of myself. I tell her to stay away from politicians.
