She sells tea and searches for hope

A new stage in the life of Umm Jaafar

Months later, and after Umm Jaafar's frequent visits to my store, we began to talk more and more, and she began to seek my advice in many aspects of her life. This time she asked to sit next to me because she needed to get my advice on a very important topic in her life and the lives of her children.

Me: Please sit down and I will listen to you kindly

Umm Jaafar: I will enter the matter directly, and I do not want you to be distracted by my affairs more. Honestly, I began to suffer from the difficulties of life, and every day I find it more difficult than the day before, and these difficulties do not recede in the matter of money and my source of livelihood, because, praise be to God, it is going well. He grows old and sometimes goes out without asking for permission, and the last time he went out he quarreled and came back with a number of bruises from his friends, and when I asked him why you always quarrel, I want you to be polite? I know what to do, waiting for her to complete her words) and I told him, my son, that it is our source of sustenance and we live from it.

My brother, you are a gentleman and I trust you a lot. I summarize my words. I need someone to support me. There is my neighbor near my house. She asked me if I agree to marry her brother because he has grown old and needs someone to take care of him. He is not married and has financial trusts that help me raise my children and get rid of this suffering. .

I answered her without hesitation: Listen, Umm Jaafar, life is really very difficult and you need someone to support you so that you can continue your life, but I need information from you about this man to ask about him and his morals. If it is appropriate, I definitely advise you to agree.

Umm Jaafar: Thank you, brother. I will come to you tomorrow, and I have his address and full name

Escuse me, Um Jaafar. It is my pleasure

The next day, Umm Jaafar came with a piece of paper in her hand containing all the information about the man who wanted to marry her, and I took the paper and promised her that I would know everything about the man.

I took a cup of tea every day, but this time I did not accept a sum for tea

At the end of my day at work, I went to the address written on the paper and asked there more than one person, and everyone agreed that the man was a good person in his condition and did not show any bad initiative, and I was very happy because he would be suitable for this struggling woman.

She came the next day as if she was eager to know what happened to this man and the sincerity of his manners?

Umm Jaafar: Thank you, dear brother (and left without showing any reaction other than thanks).

It seems that she is hesitant to agree, fearing for her children!

She came the next day with questions in her face that she wanted to say

Me: Tell me, sister, what's on your mind?

Umm Jaafar: My brother is hesitant and I cannot make a decision in this regard. Even my son Jaafar, despite his young age, does not accept my marriage.

Me: But you only sacrifice for Jafar!

Umm Jaafar: I will tell you something. Please don't take me, please?

Me: Yes, you're welcome.

Umm Jaafar: Frankly, if this man had the same morals as you, I would have agreed without hesitation. Even my son, Jaafar, says that I love my uncle, the owner of the shop, because he loves me.

(She left right after she finished and didn't even take the money for a cup of tea and left me in a whirlpool. What does Um Jafar mean as if she was telling me the words to marry her! What is this whirlpool? What is going on around me?
