Chapter 17

Helene's point of view :

God! I still can't believe it, my feet really started to hurt, so much so that I had cramps in my feet, when behind my back, I had the impression of being glued to the armchair. Taxi, indeed the traffic jams, really started to do well, nobody could move or circulate, we had the impression that time had stood still for a while.

It was almost eight o'clock and my cell phone was dead, it was dark and nothing happened in the end, without further delay, I decided to get out of the Taxi.

- Madam, madam, where are you going like that ?, asked the Taximan

-Listened, I can't anymore, it's okay, otherwise I risk expired even before reaching my destination, I say

-You know, it's been a few moments that I took you, otherwise I ..., said Taximan

- Keep it, you can keep the money, it's good., I said getting out of the Taxi

-Thank you, madam, thank you very much, god bless you, thank you, thank you ..., Say it Taximan

-Amen, I say

I got out of the car, leaving him with a thunder of thanks, he really couldn't get over it, for such a modest sum of money.

I had come down, to be able to try to walk a little, although the house was a little far, I had no choice, moreover I could not even stay there motionless for life.

I was walking, all along the sidewalk, with such speed, because all I wanted was to be able to arrive on time and find Fatima, to find out about her, I had even brought an ointment, that I had just bought at the drugstore, hoping it would ease her pain. Even if I know deep down that this is only the minimum.

Khady's point of view :

- Phew! We were really lucky, I said

- Yes, my daughter, but it's a little thanks to me, no, said Aunt Aïcha

-Mooh! Don't forget that it was I who had the idea, who put on your makeup, who

You are coached in the training of actress and I pass, By the way, if ever he had called a doctor then we will be screwed, and even that we would not be there at this hour when we speak, Say -I

- Yes, yes I know, you think he believed us, said Aunt Aïcha

- Whether he believes us or not, I don't care, all I wish is that he is so mad, that he gets rid of this Fatima by throwing her out, I say

- God! I've been waiting for this moment for so long, can't wait for you to happen, but girl, I think you've forgotten someone, said Aunt Aïcha

- Ah! Well who's that, I asked curiously

- Helene, the madwoman doesn't tell me that you forgot her, Huh, said Aunt Aïcha

- No, of course not, however let's not forget that everything has its time, but do not worry we will take care of her personally be patient, I say

- I hope so, otherwise I ......... I ..... said aunt Aïcha with manners

- What's happening? What is going on, I say

- I'm really starting to get bored, I want to get up, I want to breathe a bit, said Aunt Aïcha

- This is the price to pay my dear, I say

Very quickly, my mother went to the door without thinking, she went to the one that led to the hallway.

- Heey! Heey !, I said running

- Huh! What? What's happening ? said Aunt Aïcha

- But are you crazy? No but you don't think where what, I say

- Hey! A little respect young girl, don't forget that you address yourself to your mother, what is there ?, I want to get out of this hell and so, said Aunt Aïcha

-No, no you can not go out, do not forget that if someone ever sees you, you are screwed to death in particular Mohamed, one more thing, do not forget that this hell saved your life if not to this hour you will be outside, I say

- Ok, that's fine, listen to me, well if you don't want me to go downstairs then, you better do whatever I tell you to do, said Aunt Aïcha

- What? Mom you know very well that I don't like it Huh, I'm not your bonniche, I was not born to serve you, ok, I say

- Ok, then I would say hello to you from you to Mohamed, said Aunt Aïcha

- Ok, it's good, shit! Why are you doing this to me, don't forget it's a winner, a winner, you really piss off, I hate you, I said

- Bring me some fruit juice, two chocolate pancakes, and some water, oh! You note, where mademoiselle has the brain of Moliere, said Aunt Aïcha

- Tchim, I say, slamming the door behind me

I couldn't believe that my mother could blackmail me, if I had the choice, I was never going to give in, she annoys me more than anything, I hate her, at this hour j I could have felt soft hands pampering me from head to toe in my massage session, but it had to happen to get everything turned upside down at a click.

As soon as I got down the stairs, I realized that there was no one there, the house was almost empty, apart from the furniture, there was a total desert.

I decide to go see Mohamed, so I go back to his office, once there, he was not there, I had to see him at all costs, after minutes of research, no trace of Mohamed, so I decide to call him, but I could not reach him, I fell on the voicemail then, I decided to leave him a message.

Once back down, I went to the kitchen, in order to prepare the tray of the old woman (Aunt Aïcha), however, I even had difficulty remembering what she had asked me, so much that the Mohamed's absence scared me.

Anyway, I decided to bring whatever was on my mind, so much that I couldn't wait to get it over with as soon as possible. After filling the tray to death, I decide to go back up, once I arrive, I put the tray on the table.

- It's not too early, eh, go bring me the tray quickly, Said Aunt Aïcha

- What, get up, go, go, go what are you waiting for? I said

- You are serious, said Aunt Aïcha

- I seem to be laughing, I say

She stood up, walking towards the table.

- No, but I'm dreaming! It is not possible, said Aunt Aïcha

-What? Who is there ?, I say

- This is not what I asked for, far from it, said Aunt Aïcha

- And so, what am I getting involved in ?, I say

- What, go bring what I told you, because it seems to me that I kept telling you what I wanted, said Aunt Aisha all furious

- Mom, I say screaming

-What? You had better go quickly otherwise you will suffer the consequences, said Aunt Aïcha

Automatically, I took the tray when leaving the room, I was as upset as possible, I sulked to death, once I got down I went to the kitchen, to put everything back in its place, then I decided to go to the big living room, where I heard voices, I was excited at the idea of being able to talk to someone, I was euphoric, once in the living room, I saw no one, Omg no luck, the voices that I 'had heard from the TV, so I decided to go over to turn it off, when I saw that .... Oh no, oh no, I don't believe it, it's not possible.

Ismaïla's point of view :

She will never change, she will be and always will remain as she is, she is truly doomed for life this one. Indeed, following Alima's behavior, I could only act that way, moreover, she did not hesitate once to come and complain about my behavior towards her, in front of her friends. But I did not care what she thinks, she only received the change of her coin.

I was very pissed off, and all because of her, I really wonder what I did to be able to deserve such a sister. I was there thoughtful to imagine what had happened, when suddenly, my phone began to ring, automatically I decided to pick up without even knowing who I was talking to.

- Oh !, I say shouting

- Oh! Calm down,

- Who is this ?, I say

- Mohamed, don't tell me that you didn't recognize your own brother's voice, said Mohamed

- Wow! I mean I'm sorry I picked up without even knowing who I was dealing with I said

- Ok, I see well, tell me, in my opinion you are not in a good mood, who is there ?, said Mohamed

- No, no it's just Alima, who ....., you know with her attitude, I say

- You see I knew very well that there was something wrong, otherwise you know her well, the best thing to do is to ignore it, otherwise what happened between you two ?, said Mohamed

-Yes, yes I think you're right, apart from that don't worry you, otherwise it's nothing serious, tell me earlier about Fatima, how is she ?, I say

- Ok, about Fatima, that's why I called you, to be able to reassure you, Alhamdoulilah! She is fine,

said Mohamed

- Thank God, otherwise what did the doctor say? , I said

- He said that she is doing very well and that they were able to save her, in time, otherwise, I can ask you a question, said Mohamed

- Yes, of course who is there? I listen to you, I say

- Do you really believe that she could have burned herself because of a cooking pot, said Mohamed

- Are all going well Mohamed? I mean, what's that weird question, I say

- Listen Ismaïla, I just want you to answer me with Yes or No, said Mohamed

-Yes, yes of course I believe it, there are times when I really do not understand you, apart from that is there a problem? I said

-No, no it's just a simple question, if not see you later, said Mohamed

- Ok, see you later, otherwise take good care of her, I say

-Of course, of course it's my daily goal you know, said Mohamed hanging up,

Thank God she is doing well, fortunately, that she was able to be saved so much, at that moment, I got rid of a huge weight that weighed on my shoulders, I could finally breathe, I was so excited that I decided to go talk to Astou about it, after all, she had really deserved it since she was ready to pull out her hair only to hear from Fatima, moreover she had prayed a lot for her. recovery.

Very quickly, I went to the main hallway to lead me to Astou's secret room, once in front of the door, I knocked before entering the room, I heard almost nothing, then I decided to knock a second time, then a third time, then a fourth time ..... still nothing, so I decide to enter the room, once there I went on to the second room where I saw Astou sitting on one of his chairs, putting on headphones, and looking into space. She looked thoughtful, I chose to come closer to her, once at her level, I touched her hair, when suddenly she turned around with a start and grabbing my hand from behind. Wow !! what reflex?

- Huh, ohhh, but what is ... Who-is-what ...? Said Astou turning around quickly

-What calm you it's me, Ismaïla, I said reassuring her

- Olalah! I can't believe it, you scared me so much, but who took you Huh ?, Astou said crossing his arms

- I was rather worried because I knocked on your door more than four times and you did not answer, so I chose to enter, are you angry ?, I say

- No, no of course not, it's just that you scared me really, said Astou

- Apparently you look thoughtful, I have the impression that you did not take into account my advice earlier, I say

- In fact what worries me the most is the fact of not having had it on the phone, just now, since I had tried to call Mohamed but without sucking and that scares me, said Astou

- No, no don't worry, how come I just hung up on him, besides that's why I came to talk, I said

- Is that so? What? What? What happened? Go spit it out fast, fast, said Astou

- Heyyy, calm down please, calm down, I say

- She is doing very well, she has received the necessary care, she is out of danger now, I say

- Thank God, this bad nightmare is finally over and that for good, if not is she awake? Questioned-Astou

- Unfortunately, Mohamed did not tell me anything more on this subject, do not worry Astou, she is fine, I said, touching her yoke

- Well! If you say so, omg I'm too happy, said Astou while hopping

- Ah, I finally found my sister, come on in my arms, I said going to her direction with outstretched arms,

- Hug, I love you, said Astou

- I love you too little sister, I say

- Heey! Heey! What are you doing? Give me back my headphones, said Astou

- Lend them to me, please, come on, just go for a sound, I say

- It was too good to be true, said Astou

- What do you mean by that ?, I say

- I mean that you are never and that you will never be serious, said Astou, bursting out laughing,

- Oh! I'm embarrassed there, I say touching the back of my neck

- But worry, I don't judge you, because I love you as you are, after all you are my brother and I respect you a lot you know, said Astou smiling

- Yes, honey I know, I love you too, come on I'll leave you, I say

kissing her on the yoke

- Tchao, see you later, says Astou

- Ciao, rest well, I said going out

As soon as I left I went to the stairs, to lead me to the kitchen, to refresh myself, so much that it was so hot, to distract myself a little, I played with my laptop, it helped me a lot to feel better when I was in a little painful situations, I walked like a turtle, one doing more than three minutes in just one step, I was so deeply into the game, my hands were moving without even being able to controlled them.

All of a sudden I felt someone pushing me, as soon as I turned around I saw Khady running up the stairs at full speed, she was terrified, it looked like she had seen a ghost, we could even see from through her top, her breasts which wriggled in all directions, moreover she climbed by two steps, besides I heard a strange noise then as soon as I made me turn again, I saw my phone, which was on the ground, it was coming just crashed.

- Hey! No but stop, look in what state you put my phone, I said screaming

She continued without even calculating herself, it was really nonsense, she had just killed my phone, and besides, she dares to disrespect me, it is the height, I do not believe it.

I was so upset, that I didn't even want to go have an ice cream, I picked up my phone, redirecting me to the hallway, which lead me to my room, once I got there, I plunged on the bed, olalah! It was the worst day of all, I can't believe it.

Besides, I could go after her, yelling at her or creating problems for her, but that was not my type, after all I have much more to do than waste my time with these little so-called trivial stories.

What hurts me the most is Khady's behavior, she really doesn't know the meaning of respect or respect people, it's unacceptable, she could at least stop to

apologize, but no, mademoiselle was way too busy, if he had done it then I could well have forgotten and moved on, and thus erase the grief that gnaws at me.

Since the phone is replaceable, it is nothing but hardware, whereas respect without is not bought, but acquired.

In short, as I was a little bored, I chose to go to my library to read, to cultivate myself and to entertain myself, after all I had to prepare for my upcoming exams.
