Chapter 15

Mohamed's point of view :

As soon as I turned around, I saw Aunt Aïcha on the bed stretched out to the side, covered with a sheet, I decided to come closer to her when I saw her ready, I felt a strange feeling that crossed my body, accompanied by a shiver, I couldn't get over it, it was in a bad state. Her face was totally transformed by swelling of the cheek; his face contorted, his eyes sunken. In short, it was everything except Aunt Aïcha.

What metamorphosis?

-My aunt don't worry, I called a doctor, don't worry

Automatically she wanted to get up when suddenly Khady pulled her by the shoulder.

-What's happening my Aunt? Are you all right?

-I don't think she agrees

-But why? Since it's only for her good

-You know my mother has always been afraid of doctors

-What? I hope this is a joke

-No not at all, I think you should cancel the doctor's visit

-Khady don't tell me that you don't see your mother's suffering, no, but it's incensing

Suddenly Aunt Aïcha nodded as if to say "No".

-You see Mohamed, do not traumatize my dear little mother, moreover she does not even agree

-It shocks me a lot coming from you, as if you had never done the benches, you know very well that she needs to be taken care of

I decide to leave the room so much that I was upset. I walked towards the door which I had intercepted.

-Don't forget to cancel the appointment

I take a last look at her, then I left the room.

Once alone I decide to call the doctor, after all we can not even force it. It is really unfortunate. It was that even in a weird situation, I still couldn't believe that she really didn't want medical help despite her health.

After transmitting the message, I decide to go and clear things up when I get a call.

I was in the middle of the road, since I had just left

my Brother's business and that he was not at the scene. So I decide to make a call so much that I was worried about him.

- HellooooooOoOoOhh!

Oh my God! I automatically pulled my phone out of my ear, it sounded like hearing the explosion of WWI.

- Quickly call your doctor and make an urgent appointment for me because I am telling you that you have just murdered

my eardrums

- What? Listen to me I'm not in the mood for your jokes.

- No, but are you serious? You just broke my ears, anyway ...

- Otherwise what?

- Where are you? I just left your office

-Listen meet me at home

-What? But.....

Allah! I had not even finished my sentence he hung up on me directly, I couldn't believe it, I would really like to know the reason why he was in this state, anyway he always was like that . In short there was only one solution to find out. The one to return immediately, so I had no time to waste so very quickly the car started again.

Bintou viewpoint :

After what had just happened, everyone had ceased all activity as for me, I decided to go on the terrace to avoid meeting my boss' eyes. I was afraid of his gaze especially when he was angry, he kept screaming from left to right. Moreover, after what had just happened with Ismaïla, I really pity her ears, since I had heard everything.

Also I was looking for Helene desperately but still nothing, I still could not reach her it looks like she had turned off her phone, I just hope that nothing serious has happened to her otherwise

I was dying of it.

The problem was now two that of Helene and that of Fatima.

Oh! Speaking of the wolf we see its tail. I really needed to go apparently Fatima really needed me urgently.

Hélène's point of view :

It was really starting to get dark and I was also starting to worry about seeing the number call that there was on my smartphone, I had more than thirty missed calls in particular that of Mohamed and Binta.

As for Mohamed, I was sure and certain that he wanted explanations after what had just happened with Aunt Aïcha, he would surely have to learn what had just happened.

The two witches must surely bombard him with lies.

In short, after a few hours spent alone, I felt really good very well even because I had thought a lot about everything that had happened.

Ismaïla's point of view:

Blocked by traffic jams, I finally arrived at the house, looking at my watch, I noticed that it was almost six o'clock, barely entering the house

I saw Mohamed at the end of the corridor sitting on a chair, his shirt unbuttoned, the tie undone, it was obvious that he was really very angry. I was even afraid to approach him because everyone knows what he is when he is in a bad mood so I decide to dodge him by not going in his direction. I then took the stairs, I was walking on tiptoe to avoid making noise as much as possible when all of a sudden I heard a voice telling me.

- Apparently from what I see you really forgot your good manners

Automatically as soon as I turned around I saw my brother who had risen from his chair, heading towards me.

- And then it is at this time that you come home

- Listen I really don't know what got you in this state so calm down

- Are you kidding I hope to calm me down? How do you want me to calm down with all the things going on in this house

the impression of no longer being respected

- Stop Mohamed you're hurting yourself

- That but completely equal, at the moment our parents must really turn around in their graves seeing all this, they must be in pain seeing our behavior

- I understand you but calm down please and explain to me what is happening

- Do not tell me that you are not aware of everything that has happened

- Of course I don't know

At the time, he did not hesitate to reveal everything in my face, he

Explained to me everything that had happened detail by detail it was amazing, because it was the first time that such a situation occurred in this house and in addition behind our backs. I still could not understand the behavior of Helene.

- I can't believe it is crazy I say

- And what shocks me most above all is the behavior by Helene

- Me too it surprises me coming from her but I do not think that she was able to do that, do not forget that Helene is like a mother for us and that she has always been there for us

-All I expect are explanations for her attitude

Immediately I saw Astou coming out of the kitchen dragging with her a basin of which I was unaware of its capacity.

- Hey! Since when did you come home, I said

- I just arrived, why this question?

- Well I thought you had a workout

- Yes, yes we finished very early

- Could I know where are you taking all these ice cubes? said Mohamed

- Ah what I know it is not as hot as that since the house is ventilated and air-conditioned say I

- In fact I bring them to Fatima

- What is happening to him? Said Mohamed with concern

-What? You are not current

said Astou

- Know of What? Say Mohamed and Ismaïla

- Let's go quickly you will soon find out

Very quickly we rushed jostling each other along the corridors, I was really very curious to know what was wrong, but as for Mohamed, he could not hide his concern.

When we got to the bedroom door, we jostled each other just to enter, once inside I saw Fatima on the bed with Binta.

- Here I brought all the ice cubes that remained said Astou

- What's happening ? What is all this for? Said Mohamed

No one answered, as soon as Bintou lifted the blanket we

finally realized what was really going on, I couldn't believe all his feet were swollen, it looks like

that she had put on two slippers at the same time.

- But what happened here? Why is she in this state? Said Mohamed

- Calm down please Mohamed, you don't see that she has suffered enough, make less noise please, said Astou

Mohamed then decides to go out, I decide to follow him, when he left he threw.

- Bintou could we talk to each other quickly?

The latter was also followed by this fact there were only Fatima and Astou left in the room.

- Bintou I want you to tell me what happened said Mohamed

- In fact, sir, what happened is ... It's ... it's

- You do not see that I am worried to death, said Mohamed

- What happens is that there has been an accident

- An accident! What kind of accident? I said

- In fact Fatima is burnt

- Ismaila calls the doctor straight away, quickly. Said Mohamed

_ Yes, yes don't worry, it's as if it has already been done

_ Hoh! call instead of speaking, says Mohamed

Quickly, I went to a corner to call quickly, Mohamed was more upset than ever, I couldn't believe it. He kept coming and going. After making the phone call, I went to Mohamed.

_ Listen, I just made the call,

Don't worry, it's coming soon, I said

_ I hope so, said Mohamed

It was surreal, I had the feeling that the whole earth was going to turn on me. I thought I was dreaming for a few minutes, everything was so messy in my head that I was starting to lose control.

The images and the words jostled in my head after everything that had just happened, on one side there is Aunt Aïcha and on the other side with the barbaric behavior of Helene and finally an innocent girl who suffers stupidly.

I still couldn't believe how much her feet had changed, she had to really be in pain to get there, although I wasn't a doctor, I was just trying to take care, moreover you could see traces of redness on his feet.

One suffers just by burning oneself with a small droplet of very hot water, so imagine a large hot pot, heating up with allure, toppling stupidly on such small feet like that of Fatima.

She was there calm despite everything that happened to her, it was impressive, moreover small droplets of water, rushing on the corner of her eye, automatically, I took my handkerchief, to gently wipe her tears of sadness, d 'anxieties. It pained me so much to see her in so much pain that I could prevent myself from leaving the room as soon as I left; Ismaila rushed outside with me.

- What is happening Mohamed?

Are you all right?

- No, no, nothing is right for me

- But why ?

- Why? What a question, no but you don't see how much she is in pain

- Hey! Hey! Calm down and speak less loudly please, you just said you pity her while you make noise screaming, screaming, with that how do you want her to be better,

- You're right I'm sorry, for the first time, I seem so helpless in the face of this situation, I have the impression of failing, as if everything suddenly collapsed on me, without me being able to do anything

- Stop, please stop saying that, after all what you could do about it, it is not your fault, but you well in mind that it was destined to happen, it is the will of God , you couldn't do anything about it because no one can escape their destiny, moreover where is the Mohamed that I have always known, the one who never gives up, Brother pull yourself together please

-Ok, I just hope this will all work out very quickly

- Yes, Inchallah I hope so too, oh no I do not believe it is not possible

- What? What's happening ?

- I have bad news, I just received a message from the doctor,

- What? What did he say ?

- He can no longer come because he has a personal impediment

- Oh no! All that's missing is that, what can we do?

- Come on I think the only solution

it is to go there,

- Yes let's go quickly

We headed for the front door, as soon as we walked through the door, we got tons of questions right in the face.

- Say the doctor is still not there! What, is he not with you? Said Astou

- In fact, he will no longer be able to come

I said

- What? It's not possible, but what are we going to do now said Astou panicking

-Don't worry we're going to the hospital, I'm going to go with her

says Ismaïla

- No, I think the best is that I go alone with her say I

-No, I don't think you must be tired, rest yourself and I am going, said Ismaïla

- Ismaïla the best is that you stay and the discussion is closed say I

- Please do a few things, it gets worse and worse, said Astou

Immediately, I approached Fatima, to get ready to wear her, it was sooner complicated, because I had to be careful, to avoid hurting her, we headed for the stairs, during the whole trip, j had the impression that she was sleeping, arriving at the height of the garden, the driver opened the door and I gently installed it in the back.

- Said Mohamed, I can come with you please say yes go say Astou

- I'm sorry but no, stay here rather to help the others, I'm counting on you go see you later

- OK, too bad said Astou

- Where are we going sir? Said the driver

- In your opinion ?

- Sir you know I don't ...

- It's good, no need to continue, drive us quickly to the hospital as quickly as possible, it is very urgent

-OK sir,

As soon as the car finally started, there was nothing left to arrive at the hospital.

I was sitting in the back with her, her head was resting on my shoulder,

I had asked the driver to turn on the air conditioner so that the sweat invaded all her body, moreover her hair was loosened as a result, we could barely see her face, so I did not stop re-styling her every time, she had completely changed, the state in which she was, made me think of the very first time that I had found her in the middle of the street, surrounded by gang of Thugs who did not think

that to sex and that to hurt her.

She has truly suffered in her life with everything that is happening to her.

In short, it had been so long

that we were not alone so much that she was weird these days, I had

the impression that she was doing everything to avoid me. Therefore, I could not

prevent me from looking at her, so much that she was beautiful even in such a situation, her beauty was never lost. Its splendor invaded my eyes.

Every now and then, I keep telling myself what I would do, if she wasn't part of my life, since I met her, I haven't stopped thinking about her she wouldn't be that a single second. She has really changed my life for the better. I can't stop thinking about all the moments we could have spent together, she's a really good girl, I wish her all the happiness in the world, because she deserves more, I keep telling myself that if only all the women in the world were like her then that would look really stunning.
