Chapter 43

Mohamed's point of view :

When I left, I headed for the elevator once again and this time I was planning on leaving, arriving outside the driver was already waiting for me. As soon as I got into the car, I took a deep breath, because I was moved by events, too much had happened in the space of a few minutes. When I carried her in my arms, I felt like we were the only ones on this earth, even though I know it's overkill so much that I felt good around these sides, this girl is really a therapy. I'm a little disgusted when I think that Diouldé spoiled this wonderful moment of intimacy for us, which we both had. On this sudden, I really resented her, I imagine that she was so uncomfortable that she decided to leave.

I admit that I didn't want to see someone anymore, I even wanted to cancel my professional meetings, but I told myself that it was not fair play on my part, therefore, I was forced to go to the hotel. Not to mention that I had received quite a few calls from them to let me know that they were there. But luckily our meeting place was not too far away, as it was just a few minutes from the hospital.

Thirty minutes later :

I had just got out of the car, once the driver opened the door for me, I was even very vigilant not to meet the terrorists of the flash, I did not want to be exposed . Once at the entrance, I was greeted by the hotel manager who was kind enough to accompany me to the room.

I behave in my place, so that I can start the meeting very quickly, everyone was already there and waiting for me. Therefore, they were all up to greet me and greet me. Just walking through the door, I had a huge headache when I saw tons of files lying on the table waiting for me.

There were almost all of my foreign collaborators who had made the trip since I could not go to their respective countries for lack of time.

I had even noticed the little cookies, treats and drinks that were all along the table. I was still satisfied with their welcome. From what I see, they did seem to enjoy the food.

Apparently, they were very happy to see me, because they had waited a long time for this moment. We had a lot to talk about on several different subjects concerning the future of our collaboration as well as the goals to come. In addition, they all had me to present their projects to me. Which I found rather enriching and interesting for our company.

On the other hand, I had great difficulty concentrating, I would sometimes think about what had happened only a few minutes ago. I might have been there physically, but psychologically I was completely elsewhere. I was still doing my best to hold on in order to stay professional.

After an hour of long discussions with my guests, we ended up signing many contracts. I was still super happy and grateful that they chose me among so many others. I also had to finalize with my various secretaries from my various companies. They had given me a list of my trips to be made by the end of the year. It was that even many countries, about a good thirty, in short, I was destined to go around the world. Moreover, with the many files that awaited me, I had asked that they give me time to analyze them well before signing them, so I had all night to look at them more. It was very important for me to get it right, because I didn't want to damage my companies with a simple signature.

In addition, I decide to invite them all to dinner, it was the least I could do to thank them for all the confidence they have in me. This time, we were in another room, since there were many of us, I made the decision to take over the whole restaurant, so that we would not be disturbed, we were treated well by the staff, they were all there to take good care of us, so the dishes were not long in coming.

I had trouble finishing my whole plate, just after tasting the starter, I couldn't swallow anything more. I didn't have much of an appetite, so I was just chatting with them so they wouldn't notice. They seemed to appreciate the Senegalese cuisine they had chosen from the menu. I was worried it might sting a little bit, but hey, they were enjoying it. It is essential.

A few hours later :

Once I had taken my bath, I lay down on the bed, my eyes were towards the ceiling, so much that I was exhausted, the evening was pretty good, once the dessert was served, this marked the end of this long afternoon of discussion so I had accompanied them to the exit, he kept thanking me, they were super happy to see me and to spend the whole afternoon with me.

On the other hand, I had managed to collect some urgent files which could not wait any longer, they were right on the big table which was near the window. But before that, I had to perform my last prayers of the day. I had already performed my ablutions, it only remained for me to pray to the good Lord. I would really need all of his help throughout this week. I sincerely hope that all of my prayers will be heard and executed.

At the end of the prayer I lead myself on the bed to lie down a bit, I decide to close my eyes and try not to think of anything. Despite this small effort, provided I managed to control everything except one thing: my thoughts which never ceased to think. I felt that the more I took pleasure in making myself comfortable, the more my thoughts multiplied. I had no other choice then but to open them in order to feel better. I was standing up when I received a call, I had just put my phone on the dresser, on the other hand I was wondering who could bother me at this time of the night, I had no desire to answer on the call but as soon as I realize that it was Astou, I automatically pick up.

Me: hi my princess how are you?

Astou: well, but where were you, I kept calling you, but you never answered

Me: I'm sorry princess,

Astou: I was so worried about you.

Me: don't worry, I'm fine,

Astou: how is Fatima?

Me: she's fine.

Astou: she lasted so long in the hospital? When is it, will she come out?

Me: she had a lot of analyzes to do, that's why, otherwise she will go out very quickly once she has finished these exams,

Astou: I can't wait to see her again if you knew,

Me: I can imagine.

Astou: keep me posted if there is any new information about her

Me: okay, got noticed,

Astou: and you how are you?

Me: I feel good just hearing the sound of your voice.

Astou: I miss you so much, if you only knew!

Me: me too, I miss you very much my princess!

Astou: I want to take you in my arms so much, she said crying

Me: please stop, you might make me cry too

Astou: I would like to see you, I want everything to go back to how it was before, the house is so empty without you and Fatima.

Me: I too would love to see you again, now you've become a big girl, so you have to do everything to be strong. Okay ?

Astou: Okay, she said with a trembling voice

Me: I promise to see you again soon.

Astou: when?

Me: soon my princess,

Astou: I believe you, because you always keep your promises,

Me: I kiss you hard!

Astou: me too, I kiss you,

Me: I wish you a good night,

Astou: to you too,

Me: go hang up first,

Astou: ok, she said hanging up

I was doing my best not to show my sadness to her, but she still managed to shed a small tear. I love her so much that I don't want to make her sad, I do my best to put a smile on her lips. But there, it was stronger than me! She is my sister and I would give anything for her. You could feel sadness in his little angelic voice. I felt he really missed me, I think I'm going to have to do a few things to sort this out.

After the conversation I had with my sister, I had to wipe my face which was filled with tears. I generally hate crying because it is synonymous with weakness in me. But with everything that has been going on in the last few weeks, I had finally given in. These tears represented all the pain I had felt inside me for a long time. It was an accumulation of many things. I admit that it only made me feel good, by exteriorizing my sorrow.

Once out of the bathroom, towards my small office to study the few files that there were even if I was not in all my shape, I had to do with, because there was not much time to waste. I feel that this night is likely to be very eventful.

The next morning :

I felt the light invading my face, the rays of the sun had finally entered my eyes, I sit up when I realized that I had not closed the curtains last night, but also, I had spent the whole night on my desk, pen in hand, which meant I hadn't finished all of my work. Fortunately I sleep with my mouth closed otherwise I would have ended up drooling over the files.

Well, forget what happened, I'm lucky that this remains only between the four walls of this room.

Today is the big day. Which means that I don't have time to waste, I take myself to the shower to take my bath and get ready to leave. Since I was a few minutes late, I take the initiative to perform my morning prayer that I missed by a few hours. It's weird when I think I haven't even heard my alarm clock ring in the morning.

Everything was ready, I just had to take the door to go to the hospital, when I saw one of the hotel employees who was waiting for me just in front of my room, accompanied by a cart full of food. , he had come to suspect it was bringing me my breakfast.

Staff: hello Mr. Amar,

Me: hello,

Personal: I am coming to bring you your breakfast

Me: you can bring it inside.

Staff: ok sir

Me: thank you, I say closing the door behind me

Staff: wait sir.

Me: what do you want?

Personal: I wanted to thank you,

Me: thank me! Why ?

Personal: thanks to you, my wife is doing much better,

Me: your wife? Be clearer!

Personal: don't you remember me?

Me : no !

Personal: a few weeks ago, I asked you financially so thanks to you, I was able to pay the medical expenses so that my wife is better

Me: ah okay! I just remembered it.

Personal: you saved his life.

Me: no it's nothing! I'm glad she's better.

Staff: thank you very much Mr. Amar

Me: goodbye, I say closing the door,

I hadn't even recognized him, I had completely forgotten that I had come to his aid. He was so smiling, he was happy for his wife. Plus, he was super grateful. I hope the same can happen with Fatima (the fact that she is better.) Once seated on the armchair I take my breakfast quietly. As it was the day of the operation, I had to gain strength, but above all, I had to remain calm and serene, to be able to be by her side and support her. In not even five minutes, I had already finished eating my breakfast. All I had to do was leave, I had checked everything before going out. I couldn't wait to see her that I was in a hurry. When I walk through the door, I come across the same staff once again,

Staff: I wait for you Mr. Amar, in order to clear.

Me: you can take the cart

Personal: Hope you ate well.

Me: it's okay, I say, walking along the corridor,

This man was really into his job, I found him nice and helpful but he was too talkative, he liked too much to lead discussions when I was in too much of a hurry, even though the operation took place this afternoon.

In short ! I am always between two corridors walking to get to the exit, this place is gigantic, you can even clearly get lost in it. I walk between the small paths until I arrive on the last corridor which leads me to the exit when I come face to face on Ismaila who had just come out of a room accompanied by a few girls. At the time I was so in the air that it was difficult to get back down to earth. I was shocked at what I had just seen with my own eyes. I didn't even want to imagine what had happened within the four walls of this room. God forgive me, besides her daughters were dressed indecently, they clearly looked like prostitutes.

Me: you're not supposed to have class, and I can know what you're doing there, say I don't panic

Ismaila: I'm having fun.

I was so stunned that I didn't want to say anything, I just stared at him, I had a downright icy gaze. I turned around, telling myself that this was neither the place nor the time to discuss it with him. I did not want to show myself in spectacle. In addition, I do not want to add more worries when I already have some. I would personally settle his case. All that matters to me is going to Fatima's bedside.
