CHAPTER 4
1940 Words
"Splash", water.
I jump and see Alya with a bucket of water.
Me: what a f**k men?
Her: you feel the pain if it's you who suffers. Well, I've been living like this for 5 years and this every day.
Me: ok, but it seems like the last time?
Her: stop saying that, you're going to make me cry. Come on move, you slept in today. It is 05:02.
I do my morning routine. Then I put my luggage with Alya.
Looks like I'm moving. That's a lot wesh.
I finish and we go to the kitchen where we find my mother making omlettes.
Me: We're on a roll here.
Mah: yes for the last time.
Alya: I missed my love eggs too much.
We eat in a good mood with Tati Ouma. After having finished, they put their hands on our heads and recite I don't know what, then after they help me with the luggage that I descend. There are two big suitcases and two boxes.
When we left the building, there was a white car honking. Then the driver gets out, he then tells me that it was Tata Nina who told him to come and pick me up.
I haven't even started yet and I'm spoiled.
Alya: please sir, you can drop me off. She said to the driver and with her most beautiful smile.
The driver: go up.
I make very big hugs to mom and my aunt and op in the car.
The driver: where are you going?
Alya: at the “Sylla’s beauty” Spa
The driver: ahh that of the boss
Me/Alya: Boss??The driver: yes, Mr. Sylla is my boss.
Me: that means.....
Oh my God
The chef: yes, he's your boss too. He is the son of Mm Nina or even I would say the son of Khady his co-wife.
We look at me and Alya and she smiles. I look like someone joking here.
Alya: we have the same boss. Awesome
Me: yeah awesome. I'm just saying.
During the whole trip I didn't say a single word thinking that if Jamil lives in Nina's house and surely there will be Aïcha who will come there often and if she sees me, she will try to ruin my life. And also Diarra, Jamil's aunt and Aïcha's best friend, she must live there. I who believed that I will live in peace, and I see that I was wrong.
??:*finger snap*.
I turn around and see Alya.
Alya: what are you thinking? I've been calling you all the time.
Me: uh nothing
Alya: I arrived. I leave you.
We hug each other, she gets off and the driver starts up again.
I'll give you the ride.
We arrive and the driver helps me unload the luggage.
Me: thank you, what's the name?
Him: ousmane and you is Jamila?
Me: yeah.
I ring and it's a pretty girl who answers.
Me: hello
Her: Salam, you must be Jamila?
Me: yes it's me
Her: come in!
I walk in and wow, what a lovely house! Karim my God.
She: sit down, I'll call the boss. By the way, me is Kadia.
I smile at him in response.
I sit on the chair. Oh my god, softer than my bed.
I wait 5 minutes and Tata Nina shows up with her smile that never disappears from her face.
Her: you are there my daughter. How are you doing?
Me: I'm fine thank you and you?
Her: alhamdulilah.
She sits next to me.
She: I hope I could trust you and that you will take very good care of my daughter?
Me: don't worry about that Auntie.
She: um! Kadia will show you your room and Fatima will come down around 6 p.m.
We talk a bit and she offers me the amount she has to pay.
Me: cheeeeh 60000?
Her: don't tell me it's too small.
Me: what crazy will say it's small.
She smiles then resumes.
Her: so we're good. Tonight, I will go to work.
Me: yes see you tonight.
She leaves and Kadia shows me my room. As soon as she opens the door, my eyes almost pop out. It's so beautiful wow
Me: are you sure this is my room?
Her: I had the same reaction as you when I was also shown my room.
Me: uh thank you.
Her: I'm in the kitchen if you need me.
She leaves and closes the door behind her.
I lie down on the bed and think about what awaits me.
Me under the same roof as Jamil.
And her pot of glue will come here and try to ruin my life.
What did I get myself into?
I thought too much there. The room was really masha allah. There was even an office and my own bathroom. But it was too simple.
I put away all my luggage. And around 12 p.m., the room was to my liking.
I go down to the kitchen.Kadia: do you need anything?
Me: no, I just wanted to help you. What are you preparing?
Kadia: chicken yassa.
Me: let's get to it.
I'll give you until 7 p.m. Wallah, I'm too bored.
This Fatima has returned but she is still in her room opposite mine. She still doesn't come out, maybe she's resting.
I do my ablutions and take. After I finish, I go to the living room and watch TV with Kadia.
Me: Kadia, why is nobody home?
Her: they are all at work, and Fatima is in her room.
Me: This house is way too quiet. I'm really bored.
She: you have to get used to it, and Fatima shouldn't count on her. Always on his cell phone.
Me: ahh, so that's what's causing these headaches.
Her: mhh if you say so. But don't worry, they'll be home soon.
Jamil's POV
Today, I finish my work early. So I have nothing more to do here.
I tell Diarra to join me in the car and that if she takes more than 2 minutes, I wouldn't hesitate to leave her here. I'm still waiting for her since she works in my company.
She gets in the car and I drive off.
She: stop talking to me like you do in front of employing them, I'm your aunt.
Me: first you are also an employee, second you are my aunt but I am a year older than you.
She: from.......
Me: tercero, you shut up until we set foot at home.
She:thiiiiiiiiip
Me:rethip me and I'll leave you in the middle of the road.
Her: you don't do that to AïchaMe: you and Aïcha are different.
Her: but I am of your blood.
Me: that's why I love you more.
I see her smile which makes me smile by the way.
We arrive at the house and I park in the parking lot. I thus see the car of my parents and that of my mother Nina. Looks like everyone got home earlier than usual.
I ring the doorbell as today I forgot my keys at home.
The door opens and I see a very familiar face. And my brain immediately clicks. Jamilla? What is she doing here?
Me/Diarra: you?
She smiles then returns to the living room. We enter and I close the door behind me.
I look at Diarra who looks at me in "what's going on?" mode.
No, but I seem to know that.
I go straight to my room and take a shower. I had missed this water, this sweetness too much.
I come out 15 minutes later. I wear shorts and a white t-shirt and put on Nova perfume and lay down on my bed.
Later, they call me for dinner. That's good because I'm hungry.
We all sit on the table and there was this girl Jamila. What the hell are you doing in my house, by the way.
T.Nina: uh actually I wanted to introduce you to Jamila, she's the one who will take care of you Fatima.
Fatima: I don't need a nanny, I'm a big girl.
T.Nina: Fatima you are not well.....
Fatimaa: I don't need her.
Jamila's POV.
Wah, this girl is too capricious. But now I'm too hungry, I really want to start eating but it wouldn't be right if no one was eating.
I put my foot on the chair, frankly speaking I can't stay on a chair without doing this.
This gesture makes everyone look at me. I lower it without making a fuss.
This Fatima there, it's because of her that we still don't eat. And she is too unruly. Since earlier, she's been yelling with her mother. No, but I'm hungry.
And I think I'm getting nervous and if I get nervous I'll pop my gum. And boom, I did and again, everyone is looking at me.
Me: sorry.
The other woman, I think it's Khady, gives me a handkerchief. But I don't want to give him my chewi-gum. And unfortunately I did.
Ok I'm fed up.
T.Nina: Fatima is enough, she will take care of you, period.
Fatima: ok. She said simply.
And finally, we eat. I'm so happy, and it's so good.
Me: mhhh, really Kadia you cook too well macha allah.
Kadia: um! thank you!
Me: uh in fact, uncle dad, you seem too calm and too closed. Smiling is good for your health.
Then the uncle dad began to cough, and his wife gives him some water. Pause, I said something serious. Then I feel that everyone is looking at me.
Me:*smile*.....uncle dad, did I say something serious?
Uncle Dad looks at me then goes back to eating. Don't blame me too, I'm like that.
T.N: Jamila, I forgot to introduce you. This is Fatima my daughter, we would even say that you already know her and there it is Khadijatou but we call her Khady she is my co-wife she is like my sister.
Khady: like your sister? You speak.
Wahh, where is his respect hiding?
T.N: ok, and this is his sister Diarra and his son Jamil. And there's a very big resemblance in your names you and Jamil
No, but tkt Tatie, we know each other.
T.N: and he is my husband.
Me: uncle dad delighted.
He doesn't even answer me and continues to eat.
Ok it's his problem if he doesn't want to talk to me.
T.N: this is my family, I hope you can get along well with everyone.
Me: I get along with everyone my aunt. I say looking at Jamil and Diarra.
Seeing their shitty character rk we know they have a connection with this aunt Khady. Already that she is too naughty she also wants to close her face like this uncle daddy.
We would say that in this family only one person is normal and it is Tata Nina. But her husband who always closes his face, his co-wife who is also like a gorilla. I have a name for her, aunt gogo and her son who is too arogant plus her sister who is too becoming. And this last Fatima, capricious as she is. I even wonder what she looks like, you wouldn't even say a person with her small dwarf size there.
Thiéeee, I miss my porch and my family.
We finish eating and everyone goes to their room. I help Kadia clean the house a bit and go to my room.
I brush my teeth and I'm not sleepy at all.
I speak with Alya and then Idrissa calls me. Oh he misses me already.
Well ok, the chap is over.
Bye my cotton candy.?
Kisses??
