2380 Words
Abdel's POV I'm in my office but I really don't want anything, I'm not focused and I feel like something is happening. Well I don't feel like working so I'm going home. I call my secretary, I mean my girl just for the fun of it which will soon be a thing of the past. Me: cancel the meeting we have with this gentleman, what is his name again? She: but Abdel, we have waited so long for this meeting. Me: I don't care. Cancel that's all. She: we are going to lose a lot of money you realize. Me: the money I have is enough for me, so I won't be repeated. Her: but.... Me: and if you continue, not only will I fire you from my company but also from my heart. She: Hei Allah, I'm calling right away to cancel. But where are you going? Me: I'm going home. Her: but..... Me: Nadia, get out. Her: ok bye. She turns on her heels and leaves. Well, I'll spare you the journey, I arrive at the house and find that Coumba is in the kitchen. Me: hello, why isn't there the guard at the door as well as the other servants? She: Hello sir. It was Madame who sent them away because she said they were incapable and that I would follow them myself even if she was fed up with me. Me: who? Her: your mother. Ahh my mother, always so complicated. Me: where is Aisha? Her: she's in her room. Me: ok I'm going. I head to Aisha's room to see if she's okay. I knock once...two...four and she doesn't answer so I open the door. Me: what the f**k is this? The room was serious upside down, looks like someone walked in here. s**t where is Aisha. Me: Aisha, Aisha. I go home but I can't find her. I actually found him in the bathroom, lying down and tied up...and unconscious. I run over to her and untie her. Me: s**t AISHA, wake up. She was really in a bad state. I pour her some water and she wakes up slowly coughing. Seeing her like that, it looks like we wanted to drown there. What a fool did that to my sister. I carry her in princess mode and lay her on her bed then I call the house doctor. ??:Abdel....Abdel I am going to die. She said weakly. I sit next to her and pat her head. Me: how did this happen? And who did this to you? Her: I don't know, she didn't do it, I swear, don't accuse her. Me: who are you talking about? Her: no no....Abdel, I don't feel anything anymore, I'm in pain.....Ohlala, she killed me. Me: who says me? She doesn't answer me but grimaced. I call Coumba and she shows up. Coumba: OH MY GOD, what's going on? Me: THAT'S WHAT I SHOULD ASK YOU, WHO ENTERED HERE. Coumba: I...I don't know....Sir.... Me: you're lying, tell me the truth. Coumba: actually.....uh....there....there was a woman who came here and told me that she was Madame's friend and she.....Aïcba: Abdel.....don't listen to her, she's lying....It's even.....It's not a.....a girl who attacked me but a man.. .. Me: but you've been saying "her" for a while now Aïcha: BAH THE ONE WHO ATTACKS A WOMAN IN HIS OWN HOUSE WE CALL HIM A GIRL, IT'S A PD, YES A GIRL, HE HAS NO BALLS.......Wouy, Ouch Abdallah I'm going to die . Then she closes her eyes, she fainted I think. POV of Coumba. But it's a girl who came here earlier, and she even wore the burqa. Maybe it's this girl who did everything or she took advantage of my absence to bring a man here to attack him. I just hope I don't lose my job. Abdel: HEY YOU. I jump after his screams. Me: yes... yes sir? Him: you will follow the others. Me: sorry? Him: you're fired. I run to him and throw myself at his feet. Me: Hei sir please don't do this. My parents are counting on me, don't do that, I beg you and....and who will cook, huh. Boss I beg you. Him: know that if I don't do it, my mother will. And if she does it, I'm afraid you'll go back to the police and not your house. Go get up. Jamila's POV We arrive at the hospital and I see the doctor Ndao. I walk towards him in deupsi. Me: hi! Him: yes? Me: I said hi, answer my salam at least. Him: hi. Me: my mother is she better? Him: no, she hasn't woken up yet.Me: I'm going to go see her, tell me is that her room? Him: you can't see her. Alya: it's not a place to talk like that, let's go to your office. Him: ok here we go. We follow him and arrived, Alya locks the door as the doctor left the keys in the lock. She puts the keys in her pocket. Him: what are you doing? Give me the keys. Her: are you talking to me? Well I sit there if you need something I'm available. And don't look at me like that, it's embarrassing, and don't take advantage too. She sits on the chair and puts her feet on the table. Well she's crazy we know. Him: Miss Fekir, I'm not here to play, I have patients to heal. Me: sir, I'm not going to be there telling you what to do in your hospital, I'm just asking you to let me see my mother because I have the right to see her but you won't let me. Yes you have been corrupted I know.... Him: corrupt? Me: you don't have to hide it because I know it. I was in a hospital too and I know how things are. Normally you should call the police but you didn't and right now I can go see my mother but you forbid me to see her. Isn't that corruption? Him: really you exceed the limits.Me: doctor I have no money, I'm poor, I only have my mother. But we pay you and give you away, there are wealthy people, these people pay you for something haram and you do it and many poor people like me are victims of that. Many people lose loved ones to corruption and today I am a victim of it. Doctor fear Allah, do you have a mother? Him: She's dead. Me: and you know this pain very well, you know very well what it is to lose your mother, the one who fed us, clothed us and everything. Even if she has nothing and one fine day, we tell you that she is no longer of this world. Admittedly, I haven't lost my mother yet, but I feel this pain because a mother is in the heart. You have lost your mother, mine is between life and death but because of the money you don't want me to see her. Even if my mother were to die, I would like to see her at least once before she leaves. Fear Allah my brother, fear him. Throughout my speech, I looked him in the eye. I always use this trick if I want people to pity me. I call it hypnotism, nobody can resist the darkness of my iris. I looked him straight in the eyes without blinking. Me: You think your mother would be proud of you where she is. But hey, Allah sees everything, don't let me see her, it's your choice. Here we go Alya. Him: ok, let's go. Good job Jamila, you hypnotized her. (Don't try, only me can hypnotize people through a look??) Me: seriously? Him: tell your friend to open the door. Alya: wait I'm coming, Doctor can I take this pen?....Ohh thank you you are nice. Mdrrr, she's crazy I tell you. She opens the door and we walk out. We follow the doctor and we arrive. Arrival, I see my mother lying down, her eyes closed, an oxygen mask, wires everywhere. And to think that all of this is Aïcha's fault, but she's had her fill. In this moment I felt liberated, delivered.... Doctor: I'm sorry I won't let you see her, if you want I'll call the police. Me: no leave it does not matter. Alya:wesh you are crazy. Me: you leave us alone doctor. He walks out and I pull Alya towards me. Me: when did you go crazy? Right now if I don't denounce Aïcha it's because I have a good reason. Her: which one? Me: I know what I'm doing, I attacked her because I know that whatever I do, I couldn't give her back to the police, she's rich and her father is a minister, I could never give her back to the police , never. But if I report her, I myself would go to prison for assault. And if she, she says I did it, she'll go to jail. I'm telling you, she won't say I did it. Her: That's what you think. Me: I manage everything, she will never say it's me, otherwise go to prison because we talked well. We are left with me and her.Her: um, alhamdulilah. Me: go to work. Her: I'm not going to leave you alone too. Me: ok then put AR RAHMAN please. Her: I would put Sheikh Soudais, because Mah Fatima loves her too much. Me: good idea. Her: she will wake up. Me: Amin. I'll give you until 7 p.m. Yes we spent all this time here. I look at Alya, she looked tired, but don't get tired, she wouldn't agree to come home. She: we took! Me: ok, but I wonder why Auntie Ouma didn't come, she said she was coming. ??:I am the. As you guessed it is her. She drops her bag and runs to my mother. She hugs him while crying, since Alya doesn't like seeing her mother like that she starts crying too. She is not dead and they are crying. My phone rings "again" and it's Idrissa "again". He has been calling Me for a while now but I would like to tell him nothing. So I leave ringing. Me: my mother wouldn't want to see you like that, she hates seeing people crying especially her loved ones. So stop. Auntie Ouma: Jamila, if she leaves me I would die. When my family denied me, it was she who supported me, she was a mother, a father, a sister, let's say a whole family. I only had Alya, but you came into my life. Even the day you were born, she was in pain, but she was present at my delivery. This woman, if I lose her... She bursts into tears again and I take her in my arms.Alya: and me nobody takes me. I take her in my arms too. Me: look there. They both turn to my mother. Me: she is unconscious, of course, but she speaks to me. She says you have to stop crying because nothing will happen to her except what Allah has prescribed for her. Plus she says let's go eat because I'm hungry. We burst out laughing and Alya pats me on the shoulder. Aisha's POV. I wake up and see myself in my room, my mother was lying on me probably crying. My father and Abdel taking the 100 steps, Hakim on his phone, Diarra sitting on a chair and the doctor standing. You got it I think. Me: Mom get up, I'm in pain. She jumps and I see all eyes on me. I try to get up but Allahou Akbar, I hurt everywhere, the pain I felt only me and God knows it. Jamila broke all my bones, wow I never fight with her. Mom: baby, are you okay? Me: your silly questions there, look at me I seem to be fine? Mom: I'm sorry baby. The doctor: you slept very well now you are going to take these pills. She said, handing me the pills. Me: DAMN I CAN'T TAKE THEM, I HURT ALL OVER. Dad takes him out, he's crazy. Dad: princess calm down. Doctor give the pills to his mother. Hakim: I have a really really really ungrateful and temperamental sister. Abdel: it's your big sister Hakim. Hakim: yet she talks nonsense to her mother.Mom: Hakim you too. Hakim: I'm going, I have lessons to learn. Me: or your girls to be managed by messages instead. Hakim: I wish your attacker had killed you. He gets up and leaves. Well too bad eh. As he was leaving that's when Jamil entered. He comes over to me and takes me in his arms. Him: bb I'm so sorry. Me: tkt no. Mom give me my pills please. She gives them to me and I drink. Doctor: do you want to see your face. Me: What's wrong with my face. Mom: but she will feel worse. Doctor: luckily she has no mental pain just physical and really her face... Me: what's on my face? I was really starting to worry. The doctor gives me the mirror. But when I saw myself, I was shaking. Jamila completely destroyed my face. Me Aïcha Ndiaye, like that. Will people like me. But I think those kinds of wounds go away. But my beautiful face now is like I don't know what. My swollen upper lip, my left eye can't see, my broken nose. Wallah Jamila, I promise you that what I live will not be half of half of what you will live. She destroyed me, and the problem is that I can't report her. Jamil: tomorrow I go to the police.... Me: police what? I mean....but yeah good idea. Jamil: and you recognize who did this to you? Me: no unfortunately, in any case he is a man and he hid his face. But it's not big deal.Dad: WE ATTACK YOU AND YOU SAY IT'S OK. Me: Dad don't scream, my head hurts. Anyway they do what they want, it's me who testifies no. Jamila, you asked me for war, tkt I would answer it with pleasure b***h. The rest of your life will be hell. End of the chapter
