Chapter 10

Fatima's point of view:

Demna by Dior Mbaye

I was awakened by this ringing; it was my favorite music when I woke up; a real love song; I love this song. She is superb.

In short I get up to go to the toilet; to take a shower and brush my teeth.

After praying for my shower; I do my morning prayer.

I remember my wonderful day when I woke up with my dress on. Someone had taken off and put away but shoes.

Is this Mohamed?

In short I left the room to go to the kitchen. Ah the girls were already there at this hour accompanied by Helene.

When I walked in everyone was looking at me, it looked like she had seen an alien. I say hello and start to get to work. Helene looked at me, smiling at me. I answered him with a rather silly smile.

I start to prepare sweets for breakfast. We were all in the kitchen when I heard the ringing of the house. It was surely Ablaye who came to take the garbage. Bintou had already laid the table. When I had finally finished my sweets; I left and placed them on the table when I saw a lady and young lady; I had never seen them. I say hello; the young lady gives me a Tchim as for the lady she was staring at me. I found them incorrect; I decide to go away; I understood that it was not Ablaye but earlier two incorrect people.

Arrived at the kitchen I go to Helene.

-Who are his two people in the living room?

-What are you talking about ?

- Looks like we have visitors

-What? How? 'Or' What ? Since when ?

-They are in the living room

Helene leaves followed by her company. When I put the last trays on the table. When I heard Hélène's discussion with the guests.

- Aunt Aicha, when did you arrive?

-Ah I was there since earlier what reception? Tchim

-Sorry we thought it was Ablaye our boys

-You dare compare us with his servants there

-No no you misunderstood me ...

-Oh hooo enough where are Mohamed?

-He hasn't woken up yet

-What at that time?

-khady as you grew up; you have become a real woman ...

-Do not change the subject . Go wake him up quickly tell him that his aunt and there

What behavior? What language? So it was his aunt

Mohamed's point of view :

I was in the bathroom ; thinking back to my day yesterday when I heard someone knocking on the door. Who could spoil me this beautiful moment?

I head for the door; I open the door and I see Helene worried.

-Hello Hélène who is there?

-Hello my chick; in fact I wanted to tell you that your aunt Aicha is there?

-What? Since when ?

-Since this morning ; she claims you

-Did she come alone?

-No she came with her daughter Khady

-OK, let's go

I walked with Helene into the living room. She was back; it is so complicated; I think I am dreaming; she comes back after all her years.

We walk the corridors; let's go down the stairs to go to the living room. I find her bickering with Bintou. She will never change.

As soon as I cleared my throat she turned around.

-My son I missed you so much

-Hello Aunt Aicha; you could have informed me so that I could send you the driver

-No it does not matter my son; apparently you didn't recognize Khady

-Of course yes ; Khady how are you

-Well I'm fine; always so beautiful

-I see you start your compliments again; let's go to breakfast; you must have been hungry

- Oh yes my son

We take our places around the big table.

Fatima's point of view:

Everyone was seated around the table. I brought the last trays under the questioning gaze of the two guests.

-Who is she ? Said khady with a rather violent tone

-She is Fatima, said Ismaïla

-Oh I see ; go warm up my coffee; go faster than that

-Yes Miss

I did so; although coffee. Was not cold; I think it was just to piss me off. After a few minutes of heating in the microwave. I bring the cup to Mademoiselle; I had a second Tabata in the house.

-Here is mademoiselle

- That it does not happen again

-All right miss

No but what arrogance? Who does she think she is? I was in the kitchen with the other girls. We were talking about the guests.

Bintou: No, but you saw that bitch from Khady

Amina: She annoys me; she is worse than Alima

Me: You said it well done this does that; she thinks she is the mistress of the house

Sarah: We are here to work we have to ignore it

Bintou: Yes I think it's the best solution

Me: I think we are called to get rid of

Amina: And it's gone for a ride

We get up to go and get rid of it. Since Khady's arrival; I had noticed that she didn’t stop looking at him; she was winking at him.

What was wrong with this girl?

Alima's point of view:

I was so happy to find Khady again; I adore this girl; because we have things in common like our character; the brief style I could not quote everything. When I think my birthday is tomorrow. I want to invite my friends; i want to have fun and party. I hope my brother Mohamed bought me a present for my birthday.

He must be mad at me all because of this madwoman from Fatima.

《I hate her》 I kept repeating this sentence.

-But what do you hate?

I turn around and see Khady.

-You lost your tongue or what

-No no

-You can answer my question please

-The one I hate is Fatima

-Who is it ?

-This girl with the history of coffee

-Ah okay this girl; Why do you hate her?

-You want to know why ?

-Of course go spit the piece

-Everyone prefers her to me; she is everyone's favorite; everyone loves her, she is considered a princess; what appeals to me the most is that Mohamed appreciates him a lot; they are together all the time.

-What? What did you just say? She dares to approach my Mohamed

-Well, yeah ; they even spent their whole day together yesterday; that's why i hate her i'm even jealous.

-I now agree with you

-Ah you see; I even want to destroy it; well let's forget all that tomorrow is my birthday; and I have plenty of things to do; Can you accompany me to the show?

-Yes yes with pleasure; I leave you to all

I had finally achieved my main goal; she is now in cahoots with me. She was under my influence because I knew she was madly in love with my brother. I feel like I'm going to have a great time having Khady and Aunt Aicha at home. I was now powerful in order to be able to destroy this Fatima.

With Alima nothing is impossible.

Helene's point of view:

I had too much to do; with the arrival of the birthday of the twins on one side and on the other managing the whims of aunt aicha and khady. I feel that there will be tensions with the presence of his two there. Fortunately we had already ordered everything we needed but there were a few things left. Fortunately, I could count on Fatima's help.

I am very worried with the arrival of Khady and Aunt Aicha. Because they were unlivable and complicated. It starts well with the history of coffee.

And I am sure that Fatima will not let it go.

I pray that he will always have peace with the presence of such and such a person around us.

I hope my prayers will be answered.

Bintou's point of view:

I tiptoed to keep quiet. Because I had just left Ismaila's room. He was too cute; one day while I was cleaning his room he came out of the bathroom shirtless. He came towards me; at the beginning I was a little shy since he was my boss; but I let go and we kissed for the first time. Our relationship has been over a month. I recent feelings towards him. We go out in secret.

In short, it is time for me to join Hélène to help her with the preparations.

Ah what day?

Fatima's point of view:

I wake up very early in the morning as usual; I practice my morning ritual. After minutes of preparations I go to the kitchen; everyone was waking up; as active as each other.

-Hello Helene

-Hello my daughter

-Why didn't you wake me up very early than usual for the rest of the preparations?

-You did enough yesterday; you were up late

-But no Helene, it's my job after all

-I know but you have to rest; go let's start setting the table

-Okay

I go to set the table and put down the trays and the glasses.

When I come back to the kitchen I find Mohamed there talking to Helene. Always so talkative.

-My chick you can cancel your appointments and stay at home

-But why Helene?

-Today is the twins birthday

-But that's no reason not to go to the office and then I have friends who must come

-Come stay you can tell them to come home please my chick

-Ok how you persist so much

Helene had succeeded in convincing him; he walked towards me step by step he looks at me and throws me

-Hello Fatima

Oh my good the smell of his mouth had opened my nostrils; so much that the mint tasted so good. Her mouth smelled super, super good. I only wanted to kiss her. I loved the way he pronounced my name with his hoarse voice.

I took more than two minutes to answer

-Hello Mr Amar

He looked at me for a minute; and walked away with a smile. I was all red.

Everyone was seated in their place. Service had resumed; we heard that happy birthday. They were magnificent. The whole family gave their gifts.

I thought it was a good time to give mine. I had sewn two handkerchiefs or had their names engraved on them. I walk around the table, trembling; Would they like my present?

- It is she whom we must thank; because she advises me for your gifts; she helped me a lot. Thank you again said Mohamed

-Waouh Fatima you really know my tastes; i love this dress it is totally my style and my favorite color. Thank you very much said Astou

- I beg you and happy birthday once again

As for Alima, she was staring at me. She was making faces. I take out my present and give it to Astou first.

- Here it is for you I know that you are not used to these kinds of gifts it is just a handkerchief that I made with my own hands with your name on it. I hope you will like it

-Come into my arms ; thank you very much of course that I love it; wow it's beautiful. I would always keep it on me.

I head for Tabata's bitch in front of everyone. What will be his reaction?

I keep asking myself this question.

-Don't take one more step, keep your gift dirt

I knew it ; that she was going to say nasty things to me. I turn to go in the direction of the kitchen when I hear.

-Wait for Fatima

As soon as I turned around I saw Khady.

-Alima you too how can you do that; she does it with time of love and you want to refuse her gift; stop your cinema and receive this gift with both hands

-But …..

-There are no but who hold on, go do what I tell you

As if by magic ; she accepted the gift and took it in both hands. She took it with her face closed; the main thing is that she had accepted my gift.

In short, I go back to the kitchen to prepare the last preparations because the guests will soon arrive at the house.

The party was going to take place near the pool. It was like a pool party. It was beautiful everything was well decorated. They had a dance floor; a dj and lots of other stuff. Nothing to miss we had even called a caterer.

Mohamed's friends soon arrived. After thirty minutes the last preparations were finally ready.

A phew! Of relief. We were finally done.

Helene had given us new clothes to change. Her outfits were just gorgeous; the outfits were in purple pink; I really loved his outfits. We go to the bedroom to undress. Amina was our makeup artist and Bintou our hairdresser. Real experts his daughters there.

After a few minutes of preparations we are finally done.

Helene told me Astou was asking after me.

I rushed up the stairs in pairs.

I wonder

What's going on ?

Why had she asked after me?
