Chapter 16

Astou point of view:

Once in my room, I walked to my pious corner, where I performed all my prayers, it was a bit like my spiritual corner, sitting on a mat, I was covered With a white veil on my head that ran down my body.

To pray, and hope that everything goes well, after what had just happened I had to give my help at all costs, the only thing I could do is to pray for the well-being of Fatima, so that she can help herself. recovered and that she could get better as soon as possible, it hurt me a lot, the fact that she had faced a domestic accident.

The years passed and I discovered new things about her, she is really a good person, she is a really correct girl, wise and well educated, respectful towards all people, however Fatima really did not deserve this, it had to really be hard on a girl so innocent as she is.

What had just happened to Fatima, I never could have even wished it on my worst enemy. Because no one wants to face such a situation in their life.

Besides, I really would have liked to have accompanied her to the hospital since she had always been there for me, in the saddest times as well as the happiest. I would really like to be able to share all of his pain with her.

But Mohamed had to get involved by preventing me from accompanying them. My brother is too weird, he always wants to be with her, since Mohamed got to know Fatima, he wants to show his presence all the time. 'monopolizing almost all the time and each time, he finds very wet halibis. In any case, at least thanks to her, he has reduced his nervousness.

Ismaïla's point of view :

I still could not understand the behavior of my brother, he was there all the time, wanting to play the hero, the superhero of the family, he wanted each time to give his two cents, in fact he c ' was behaved like a child, wanting at all costs to leave with Fatima, I did not understand what it could do to her, the fact that Fatima was accompanied to the hospital by me or by another, the essential

it is that one takes her to the hospital.

Mohamed did not want, did not support the fact that a person could

Approaching her, at that moment doubts were starting to cross my mind, with her sick attitude that had happened all along.

The hour, he does not stop screaming all over the place, we could see very well that he was more worried than Fatima who suffered so much more than him, moreover, he has always been there, by his side since his arrival. in this house, Mohamed was like a lawyer for Fatima, he defended and protected her body and soul, I had also noticed, that he did not want me to be next to her, wherever I frequent her, like the day I was in the kitchen with her I could not resist so much that her body attracted me, As for him, he was there to spoil my desire, moreover, after that, he did not want to address me anymore the floor for a while. All of this left me thinking that there was something going on in his head.

Suddenly, we kept hearing footsteps throughout the house, in fact Astou did not stop going back and forth throughout the house, she had just left her room after having locked herself for a while. for hours, she was really anxious about everything that was going on. Immediately, I decide to approach her so that I can try to calm her down.

- You better then for you, I say

The poor thing when I think back to the scene earlier, I really get chills, Astou wanted so much to leave with Fatima, to be able to assist her physically and morally, but no, my brother had to interfere and ruin everything. It hurt so much, if she had gone with them maybe she wasn't going to be bored and stressed so much, it's really unfortunate! All in all, I must know at all costs what my brother is hiding, it is really time to find out everything.

Indeed Astou has always been present for Fatima, Astou is a humble, modest girl who does not underestimate others, moreover she is not materialistic like her twin sister.

She has always put everyone in the same bag, whether we are poor or rich, tall or short, fat or thin, she puts everyone on the same footing, I keep telling myself that

I am really lucky that she is my sister, it is with her that I get along the most. I can always count on her, in the saddest and happiest times.

A few minutes later, I saw Bintou moving around approaching me.

- Good evening, sir ....... Said Bintou Hesitantly

- Yes, Bintou, can I help you? I said

- In fact I was telling myself that you may be hungry, if you want I will, said Bintou stammering

- Yes, yes it's true that I didn't even have time to eat, after all that is happening, I say

- Ah! So sit down and I'll bring you your meal said-Bintou en S 'on your way

In fact, during all this time, I hadn't even had time to notice that my stomach wouldn't stop gurgling, so much so that worry had taken over, once I was seated in the dining room, Bintou brought a huge tray.

- Wow! I'm really gonna swallow all of her good things, I say

- You know, you haven't eaten anything since breakfast, so you have to eat, said Bintou

- Ok, I see thank you very much, it's nice, I say

-You know I only do my job, if you need anything, don't hesitate, said Bintou

Hmm! It smelled awfully good. I didn't even know where to start, it smelled so good, and knew it looked good.

Barely started, I attacked the chicken, in particular the throat, one of my favorite parts, I peeled it like crazy, short stop! You know better than me, how to strip a chicken (Ismaïla expression) so we stop there, moreover, I even forgot that there were services by my side (tea towel, fork, knife, etc.) I ate so much like a pig.

After a few minutes I was almost done, after washing my hands, I took the tray and headed for the kitchen.

- But what are you doing like that, why you didn't call me, said Bintou in panic

- Huh, huh calm down, I had to face a few things, otherwise thank you it was delicious I said, touching his shoulder

- You're welcome, the pleasure is shared sir, said Bintou

- Otherwise sorry for the state of the board, I say

- No, no, it doesn't matter, said Bintou smiling

As soon as I leave the kitchen, I find Alima, with her group of friends, as usual.

- Ohh! Oh my god, say girls, you don't smell a chicken from the 15th century, said Alima laughing like crazy

- Ah! Okay, I didn't know the chicken I had just swallowed was so bad, I said

- Oh! How long have you been here, said Alima being surprised

- Since I just heard the stories with chicken dating back to the 15th century, I say

- Oh! I see otherwise, said Alima

- Otherwise what? I said

- And then it's at this time that you have your lunch, said Alima

- yes and so, I say

- What's going on? you look weird, did i miss something, come on tell me i want to know everything said alima

-If you want to know, and be aware of what is going on, then be more present, I said, turning my back on him.

Alima's point of view:

Whore! What is going on with Ismaila? I really didn't like the way he answered me all to

the hour, besides in front of my friends, I was really ashamed, in any case what is certain it is that it is really not in its plate, to be able to behave thus with me.

I was so uncomfortable that I couldn't stop laughing all the time, thus hiding my temper. So to take my mind off things, I decided to invite my friends to join me in the garden near the large swimming pool.

- Ahh! You did well to get us out of this hell, said girlfriend 1 laughing

- Hell! What hell? But what are you talking about ?, I say

- Ah your opinion !, said-girlfriend 1

- Well you forgot, the smell of chicken that strangled us to death says girlfriend 2

- Ah Ok I see briefly, let's forget all that, I say

- Forgotten, no, no, how do you want us to forget with your brother's behavior, said girlfriend 1, laughing

- Until this day, no one has ever spoken to you like this, said girlfriend 2

- Yeah really, you can imagine the very dear Alima who thinks herself superior, gets tackled by her brother, ouh! it's sure that everyone is going to hell when I tell them, what happened, says girlfriend 1

- What? You're not gonna do this to me, but what's the matter with you huh? I said shaking

- Well what, after all it's not our fault if your brother still considers you a kid, says girlfriend 2

- Yeah, and then you know what, we're breaking up, dirty kid, said girlfriend 1

-Lol! Said-girlfriend 2

Automatically, they both got up, heading for the exit, I could not believe it, I was dripping sweat like a salad, it looks like I had taken ten basins full of water in the face. It was the shame of my life, what would I become now if everyone found out? ..ohh..no .... I don't even want to think about it it's crazy! Ismaïla is really going to pay me dearly for it, I am going to give her the change of her coin. I would find a way. Because with Alima Amar everything is possible.

Bintou viewpoint :

I was there motionless like a plant, I did not stop, I did not tire of touching my shoulder.

I had waited for this moment for so long in my life, since I got here, all I dreamed of was this. Today my wish is finally realized.

Ismaïla has always been my favorite, since the first time I saw him, I immediately had a crush on him.

Ismaïla is someone who really pleases me, he has something in him that attracts me like a magnet.

This is the very first time that we have come together in this way for five years, that is to say since my arrival in this villa.

I was a little silly earlier when I think about it, I was stuttering like a beast. Above all, what struck me as weird was the fact that I felt so much doubt about him, because I was almost sure he was never going to fall for me, since I was a poor girl. , illiterate, ugly with ugly scars and pimples sticking out all over the place. You could say that I was like a Cinderella, but with a big difference which is ugliness.

In short, the excitement still could not pass, I saw myself dancing, singing, and sometimes even dreaming of certain scenes, funny, sensual, Ah! After what had happened, I could not stop imagining the day when we will be together.

Ah! How beautiful is Love.

L-O-V-E, that word will forever be stuck to my tongue, and stuck to my brain.

Mohamed's point of view :

As soon as we arrived, it was difficult to get down to the entrance, so much that there were journalists, photographers and with a few fans shouting my name from everywhere, I could not believe it.

But how had they known my movements?

What bad luck?

They did not stop jostling each other, the entrance was packed, we had a huge emergency with the state in which Fatima was, immediately we decided to go through the basement of the hospital, once the driver parked, the nurse and caregiver was on site to welcome him, since I had made a phone call remotely, to be able to ensure a quick medical intervention, moreover it is perhaps the reason for that he had such a crowd, the news would surely have to be shared by word of mouth to be able to arrive at such a situation.

She still hadn't woken up, and it was starting to worry me more and more, barely sitting on a wheelchair, we took the elevator that took us to the third floor, to arrive at height, Fatima was led in. intensive care, as for me, I was there in front of the door not being able to enter inside, I was in the corridors to make come and go, fortunately we had arrived at so much to be able to take care of her, after all the obstacles that we were crossed all I could say or do was to give thanks to God.

"Al hamdoulilah".

* Forty five minutes later

A man in his sixties came out of the room, walking towards me.

Before he even got in front of me, I kept bombarding him with questions.

- Is she okay? Is she awake? Could I see her? I asked

- Calm down, Calm down, Mr. Amar, first of all, it is important to explain to you his condition, the steps that we have been able to do and all that without following, after that, I will answer all your questions one by one, say the doctor

- Listen, I'm sorry, it's just that ..... that ....., I say

- Worried, in short if not, don't worry, everything is fine we were able to help her in time, but just ... ... .. said the doctor

- Just that what? I said

- Just that you should have brought her much earlier, because if it was the case it should have been less serious, but the main thing is that she is out of danger now, tell the doctor

- Thank God, Alhamdoulilah, Alhamdoulilah, I said by joining my two hands

- For your questions, I will answer them one by one, say the doctor

- I'm listening to you, I say with curiosity

- She is doing very well fortunately for her, but unfortunately she is still not awake, moreover you may even see her, say the doctor

- What? I mean, why ain't she still wake up ?, I asked

- Indeed the shock can be weakened, moreover we had to make an anesthesia, to be able to clean the wounds well, without risk that it can wake up, because this could cause terrible pains, however here is the prescription for them. medicines she needs, but they are available at the hospital compound, tell the doctor

- Ok, I see thank you, thank you very much, I say

- I'm only doing my job, otherwise you can go see her, tell the doctor

Very quickly, I rushed towards the direction of the room, when the doctor made me stop again.

- One last thing, Mr. Amar,

Say it doctor

- Yes, who is there? I said

-Are you sure that it is beautiful and well, a pot, which is overturned on its feet, questioned the doctor

- Yes, yes that's what they told me, why is there? A problem, I asked

- Apparently if it was a major burn, it would be much more serious, tell the doctor

- Is that so! what do i say

- I'm a doctor, so I know what I'm saying, well I'll leave you, say the doctor

The latter turned his back on me automatically, leaving me with great intrigues and questions. I then decide to take care of it later, first of all, the most important of all is to be able to find Fatima, I was eager to see her.

After a turn of the wrist, the door was already open, very quickly I entered the room delicately, closing the door on itself. Once inside, as soon as I turned around, I saw a silhouette of a girl across the room, with a very pale face that made her face stand out, her hair was left to the winds and grabbed. the whole pillow. I approached her step by step, little by little, delicately, to reach the height of the bed, I sat down on the edge of the bed. She was still asleep, she had several dressings on her body, including on the hand for the infusion and for the feet, including to cover her burns and other wounds.

At one point, I could not stop, I could not help looking at her, she was as usual, still the same.

However, I could not resist any longer, that I took her hand, against mine, kissing it very hard, when I was with her I had the impression that time was suspended, for the first time, I had decided to open up to her, although I knew she couldn't hear me.

* Mohamed speaking:

First of all, I want to apologize because I'm sorry, I'm really sorry for what happened to you, frankly, you don't deserve it, since you are a wonderful person. I regret not having been there earlier. I want you to know that I care a lot for you, since you came into my life, I'm only god for you, your coming has changed my life a lot. I do not regret having met you. When I found out what happened to you, I almost died because I was too afraid to lose you, and you want to know why, You want to know the reason, it's because I Love you and yes Fatima, I love you, I love you like crazy, you drive me crazy, since the day our eyes crossed, eyes so innocent, lost in the middle of nowhere, stop thinking about you every moment, every moment, I keep telling myself what I would do if you weren't part of my life. My love, I am ready to travel all over the world just to receive a single smile.

Do you know why ?

Because your smile is your most beautiful jewel, it is worth gold.

All I want is to be able to share the rest of my life with you and be able to make you my goddess,

In short ! I'm not gonna make a long speech anyway, all I want you to know

it is that,

I love you for life.
