Chapter 12

Mohamed's point of view:

It was as if my whole life had collapsed; I have just failed in my role as a big brother; i ain't then take care of my family. I blame myself so much; I said to myself that if maybe I wasn't so hard on her it might not have happened.

All I want is for her to come home; she is terribly missing. Despite her attitude of "Bad girl". She is still my sister and she means a lot to me.

I hope with all my heart that she comes home and that we are reunited again.

Ismaïla's point of view

The house is so quiet without Alima; it shows who the kid really was; the spoiled girl of the house; the one who cried left and right; the one that creates the hubbub in the house; despite this, I am starting to miss her terribly.

I still can't believe who she left; I'm really bored without it.

I think back to all our beautiful moments, happiness and misfortune;

May God protect her.

Fatima's point of view:

It is 5:43 pm and there is still no shadow of Alima. She has still not come home for 48 hours.

The police were doing their research on their side; as well as the whole family. We might be telling ourselves who they knew this time a few things about Astou's disappearance.

No one has swallowed anything since yesterday I had never seen them so worried and worried.

Helene's tension had risen terribly since last night; she was so tired but she didn't want to sleep so she was given sleeping pills so that she could sleep.

Apart from her, no one had been able to close an eye all night long, we all supported each other. Even with all that she had done to me; I hope with all my heart that she comes back; everyone keeps a little bit of hope for her to come back; his absence is noticed as soon as one enters the house.

Seems like time had stopped in one fell swoop.

The shadow of the night brought out our fear; worry.

Mohamed was doing very badly, I had never seen it in this state; he showed me a new side of his personality. He was so sentimental; I had only one desire. D go and hug him.

Helene continue to sleep soundly thanks to the sleeping pills.

I was in the living room looking at the light; we had all the lights turned off. I try to recap everything that happened.

Astou had disappeared the day after his birthday party; I kept telling myself if she was gone with this weird guy; who followed him closely; he was looking at him strangely.

I thought maybe he was one of the guests at the party.

We were all in the living room except Helene she was in her bedroom. We had to turn off the light.

Despite our sadness Ismaïla was there to tell jokes in the dark. We managed to laugh despite our sorrow

Ismaila had managed to cheer us up. We could hear emotion in our laughter.

Suddenly a voice was heard.

-I can know what makes you laugh

Nothing the fact of having heard this voice one could deduce that it was that of Mr. Amar.

He turned on the lights.

He stepped forward. And say

-You have nothing else to do except laugh in such a situation.

Everyone got up one by one; no one could bear his gaze.

Ismaïla was the first to stand up despite being the author of all this.

I was about to leave when he held my hand. I could feel his gaze crossing my neck. I turned around kissing my eyes; I was shaking as usual.

-Yes Mr. Amar

-Can you bring me some coffee

-Yes of course

I walk away with all my might hoping he can let go of my hand.

I turned around, looking at his arm around mine.

As soon as he tells me

-Thank you

I was in such a hurry that he let go of my hand that he didn't even have the strength to say "you're welcome." I ran very quickly to the kitchen to show nothing.

I took a big sip of water. Then I took a deep breath.

As soon as the coffee was near I had sworn that I was not going to tremble or soil. Because just the fact of shaking could push me to spill the cup. Oh no, certainly not.

And soiling could damage the taste of the coffee.

- Berk Berk it's disgusting no.

( yes I know )

In short, I go to the living room to give him his coffee. And I had my mission because I had neither to tremble nor to defile.

Yupi

After giving him his coffee; I decide to go away.

When I heard my name

-Fatima

I turned around

-Yes Mr. Amar

-Can you sit with me

-Yes of course sir

We were sitting in the living room when all of a sudden we heard a loud noise. The latter came from upstairs more precisely in the Astou room. Very quickly we jumped; Ms. Amar had even spilled her coffee.

We rushed over to see what was going on.

What was happening ?

Mohamed's point of view

I climbed the stairs by three god know what's going on I rushed to death on the stairs; I no longer felt the heat of the coffee.

I hope nothing bad had happened.

Arrived at the door; I opened it automatically; when I saw the windows open.

I turned my head to the right when I saw Alima standing near her dressing table; in a state not possible. She ran to me.

-Don't say anything please; I'm sorry to have left the house for more than 48 hours I would accept the conditions that you will impose on me

-Are you fine ? But where have you been all this time

-I'm fine. I will answer your question later please

-But saw you in what state you are

-I made an expert to go through the window to avoid t; I was very afraid of your behavior and then I thought you were all asleep; I did not want to disturb you

-Sleeping; asleep How do you want us to sleep in such a situation.

-Please I know you don't get on your nerves; that's why I was slow to come home because I was afraid of your behavior

-You can tell me where your phone was during all this time; we try to reach you but without success; we called the police; your friends just to find you; we did not sleep during his two days. Worse still, Helene's tension has risen terribly.

Tell me do you find this normal?

-No! i told you i was sorry

- In short, forget all that the main thing is that you are safe; go come in my arms.

I will be very strong; I had missed her so much.

-Go take a bath and then come join us

-Okay

Everyone had replaced their misfortune with happiness; they were all in her room to see her. Everyone missed her so much.

I decide to go and change my t-shirt which had a very big coffee stain. I was in the bathroom when I saw Khady in front of the door holding a T-shirt.

-Hello ; I thought you might need a spare. I am wrong !

-Thanks that's sweet

-I hope this color pleases

-Yes

-It brings out the color of your eyes

I times as if I hadn't heard anything.

She gave me a smile; she was really strange; she resumed the discussion.

-If I were you, I would really give Alima a beating; because what she did was not at all right.

-I know what she did was wrong; it is not worth scolding her; after all she had apologized; the essential what it is breast and except.

-Which doesn't tell me that you're going to let it go; it almost ruined our reputation; you saw what the journalists wrote; everyone was talking about the Amar family; it is really shameful.

-Khady stop let's forget all that; the main thing is that she is well.

-OK as you want

-If not

-If not ! Otherwise what

-You are very tired; I think a good massage will do good; go come and lie on the bed

-No thanks ; I had just come to change my t-shirt; let's go; they must be waiting for us.

I lifted my hand to give him a sign that we should go. But she was there looking at me with big eyes.

I crossed the room; I opened the door.

-After you

She advanced step by step; as soon as we leave the room; I live Fatima with medicine. It was surely Helene's; she look at us strangely.

Khady walked towards her

-Eh oh do your job instead of standing there watching us; move; to go ; to go .

Before I come near; she had already left with a strange attitude.

-Khady why you behaved like that with F ...

-Stopped, I don't want to wait for his name; and then after all it's his job no

I didn't really understand her. I just hope Fatima doesn't imagine a movie.

As soon as we got down; everyone was Alima's turn. She avoided meeting my gaze; She still feared me.

-Alima I can see you.

As soon as I threw this we heard

"Omg; omg". As usual ; they imagined the worst.

-Yes

-Let's go to the terrace

I could tell she was anxious; stressed.

Arrived on the terrace; we took our seats.

-Did you take your bath?

-Yes

-Are you eating?

-Yes

-I am sorry ; I wanted to apologize

-What are you sorry; but why ? It's a dream ; omg.

-No it's not a dream

-But why ?

-Because I feel responsible for what happened; I said to myself that if I were a little less severe with you; since the death of our parents i try to be the best brother; sometimes I get there sometimes no.

I wanted you to know that everything I could tell you was for your own good. Because I only want your success.

When you left I could understand how important you were to me.

After all you are just my little Sister; my little bitch.

I love you

-Me too I love you ; you have always been there for us; you are the best brother in the world; thanks to your presence; we did not feel the absence of our parents. thank you so much

-Thank you too

-I want a hug said Alima with a childish voice

-Ah! I was about to forget ; I wanted you to make me a promise.

-Which ?

-I want you to promise me that you won't hide anything from me from now on; go put your hand

She looked at me with big eyes

-Alima; Alima; Alima your hand

Always so weird.

Why didn't she put her hand down?

Astou's point of view:

Finally ! Who had come back, safe, we had plenty to say to each other, she still hadn't come back since my brother called her, I hoped with all my heart that everything would be fine for her. As if by magic everyone had found a smile; I was so curious to know what they were saying to each other, my buttocks had difficulty in landing.

Olalah! my patience is at its limit, too bad I go, I would run on the stairs like a goat seeing a lot of grass.

In short, arriving on the scene, I saw my brother a little strange, he had lifted his hand while extending it straight in front of Alima, it was as if he was paralyzed, I was there for about five minutes; they hadn’t even noticed my presence, he still hadn’t changed position.

Ah! there is a problem; I decide to take a step forward, when I saw Alima getting up when I appeared, she came hopping like a Rabbit; I had the impression that I had taken a thorn away from him.

-Said, you saw the last bag that just came out

-Are you okay, everything is fine?

-Yes, why, brief forgetting all that, come with me, I have to show you something, come on quickly, quickly

He took my hand as I walked towards the stairs, it was even weird, it was nicer all of a sudden, leaving Mohamed behind, all alone, he had only had a horrible wind luckily they were alone.

Aunt Aicha's Point of View :

Thank God that our daughter came home, because it will suit us; for our sake. Other than that, she could even stay there for years. After dinner I decide to join Mohamed, as he was alone, just to chat with him.

When I arrived, I saw him sitting, thoughtful, with a closed gaze. I approached him, as soon as he saw me he got up to give me room, he respect me so much if only he could be my beautiful son, so that I could make the most of his money, become the queen of this house . Ah if only!

-My aunt sit you, what can I do for you

-What is happening my son, you look worried, I do not understand why you are like this when your sister has just returned you must consider yourself happy

-It's nothing my aunt, it's just that I'm tired seen his last days are hectic

-You have to rest, and then someone has to take care of you, you need a wife my son but what are you waiting for?

-I'm just waiting for the right moment

-How's the right time, but look at you you're getting old

-Old ? Said Mohamed laughing

-And then you are rich, beautiful any woman could dream of you, you saw the number of women running behind your back, you are lucky

-Money does not count for me, as we often say money does not buy happiness, despite all the women running behind me, they are all beautiful but, they are missing something that I am looking for in a woman

-What you would be looking for must surely be a woman who has charisma, charm and who above all has character and I know very well that my Khady will be the ideal

Suddenly his phone started ringing

-Excuse me, aunt, I just got a call

He got up to answer his call, leaving me all alone, after ten minutes of communication he walked towards me throwing me

-My aunt excuse me, but I have an important job to do, we will continue later. He left, heading for the stairs. Looks like he was doing anything to avoid me. Being all alone I decide to call Khady to keep me company.

I sincerely hope that my Khady will like it.
