CHAPTER 71

Bismillah

The doorbell rings so Jahid lowers the volume and Ishmael goes to open it.

...: -man's voice- Salam am I okay at Aliyah's?

Isma: Yeah why? What do you want from my sister?

...: Could I speak it?

I'm going to see who it is since he's asking me.

Me: It's okay Isma calm down! Salam 'Aleykum! It's me Aliyah what is it?

I look up at the guy.

:o:o shock:o:o shock:o:o shock:o:o

I see AHMED!!! The baby's father...

I widened my eyes and held Ishmael's hand a little tight. Yes I'm a little scared, after what he did. The guy is a psychopath. Afraid that he will take Kheridine from me...

Mama: Who is Aliyah?

Me: Nobody.

Ahmed: 'Aleykum Salam.

Me: What the hell are you doing here?

Ahmed: I came to see my son.

Me: You dare say your son when you weren't there when his mother gave birth to him. You didn't raise him. You didn't even see him take his first steps. You didn't even hear him say his first words. At his 1 and 2 years old, you weren't there to wish him a happy birthday and a long life. Since the beginning it's me and Lamine who raise him so I don't allow you, I even forbid you to say "my son" whether you have the same blood or not. And don't try to take it from me because w'Allah I won't pass it on to you, forever. Whether you have changed or not, to me you remain the same.

He looks at me shocked. Elyes has completely paused the music and Kheridine comes and hides behind my leg

Ahmed: I didn't go through 4 path. I didn't come to take it, just came to see it. You're a pious woman, that's why I'm leaving him to you, he won't have a good life with me, I'm not cut out to be a father (that's for sure). I just hope you take good care of him like you do now.

Me: Don't worry about that.

Kheri': Mama who is yui?

Me: A sir!

Ahmed: Hello man -he squats in front of him and holds out his hand-

He hesitates but hands her his.

Ahmad: What's your name?

Kheri': Kheridine and you?

Ahmad: Ahmad!

Kheri': You kid!!

Ahmed: Mddr the same!

He stands up.

Me: On those Salam 'Aleykûm! Good luck and please don't come near him.

He nods and leaves. I close the door. Fuuuuu I loosen Ishmael's hand and he takes me in his arms.

Isma: Tqt he will do you nothing more

Me: mmmm

Jahid: He was the kid's father

Me: Yeah well anyway

Kheri': Yesouuu again again again

Elyes: After!!

Kheri': Noon now

Elyes: Noon

Kheri': Djibouuuuuu!!

Djib: Copiiii put it on he's going to deuher

Elyes puts the music back on and he dances mdddddr and we like dabas we followed his move!!! In short, we were all fed up so we left!! We went to a park, they took the ball out and went to play, me and my mom we're talking

Mama: So still no news from Lamine?

Me: Still not....

Mama: Soon soon Insha Allah!

Me: How soon? Mama do you know something?

Mom: No!

Me: You can't lie to me Mama!

Mama: I swore not to say anything.

Me: Ayaaaa mama you know where he is and you didn't tell me.

Mama: Smehli baby!

Me: Do the boys know?

She doesn't answer me so she wants yes!!

Me: ISMAEL ELYES DJIBRIL?

Them: WHAT?

Me: NAMDJÉ HARAKA (=come viiiite)

They look at each other, like what have we done and they come!

Them: What is it?

Me: You know where he is and not even tell you.

Them: Mamaaaa!!

Mama: What? Leave me alone !!

Me: But damn it! Did he swear to you too?

Them: Yeah!

Me: Maiiis tin ah!

Them: Tqt

Me: Tqt of what?

Them: You'll see!

And they leave.

Me: Mamaa it's good you don't have the right

Mama: In short, these summer holidays, we're going to Algeria!

Me: We go everywhere! We are going to do Algeria, Mada, Comoros!!

Mama: Who's going to pay for all this?

Me: Djibril will pay to go to Algeria, Elyes will pay the tickets for Madagascar and Ismaël will pay for the return trip to Comoros!

Mama: Naaam you want the stripped?

Me: Not even. But then if they don't want to. Well, we're not going to have to!!

Mama: Naam it's up to them to choose, we don't pay!!

Me: We'll see at home!!

After that we went to play with the others! K.O the mess it was!!

[~ 8:20 p.m. ~]

We're all in the living room watching TV!

Me: My brothers, that tells you, during his summer vacation we go to town!

Djib: Which of bled

Me: Well everyone!

Younes: All all?

Me: Yeah!

Younes: Hell!

Isma: Do you realize how much it will cost?

I do ! You work, don't you? The smallest pays the least expensive and the largest pays one way to go to Comoros and the return to return.

Isma: Like me, I pay the most!

Me: Yeah here you go if you wanted I help you a little!

Isma: Nah no need.

Me: Are you ok?

Them: Yeah!!

Me: So cool!!

Elyes: Mddddddr!

Me: Jahid do you want to come?

Him: Yeah why not!

Me: Are you sure? I don't want to force you!

Jahid: Yeah yeah!!

Me: Ok good luck to you guys!

Them: Tqt!!

Anyway after the Ishaa I went to sleep with Kheridine.

[...]

The days after the routine!! Jahid passes his baccalaureate and his license!! I found a little job at the crèche next to the house and the rest hasn't changed.

[...]

Holidays finally! My little protege got his license and his baccalaureate! How he was spoiled chauuud! He was all proud of him now he slaps !!

We are getting ready to leave. We took Tiger with us.

Samir, Rania and Assia stayed there!

Nassim and Yas' also stayed there. Otherwise there will be problems in Algeria and they are not going to the Comoros because otherwise she will give birth there and Nassim doesn't want to!

Youssef, Salma and Idriss + Souley and Neyla, them on the other hand we will join them there!!

Anyway... We put the suitcases in the trunk and we're off. Ismaël took his car and Elyes too.

-I'll spare you the journey-

Arrive at home, ours not the family. Everyone chose their room and then everyone slept too much. Around 7 p.m. I wake up and go downstairs! I am the last to wake up.

Me: Mama, there's nothing to eat there!

Jahid: The neighbors made us grate!

Mama: Tomorrow the boys are going shopping

Me: Naaam

I went to eat with them. After we went on the terrace and we watched the sunset in joy and good humor !!

You': What are we doing tomorrow?

Mama: You're going shopping with Djibril!

You': Alright!!

Anyway, after that, we'll all sleep again.

-The next day-

We get woken up by the croaking of the roosters, so I'm going to do the Fajr and go down to the living room. There's already Mama so I'm going to sit next to her and we talk until the others wake up.

Around 10 a.m. Djibril and Younes went shopping. Cousins, cousins, aunt and uncle are starting to come... I can't tell you the deuhage they make me. "Aliyah I'm going to marry you to my son" and blablabla and blablabla! No but lol hahaha can only dream of it. I will get married to the man who puts destiny!! And you know what there are "cousins" who rage mdddddr but eat it if you want I don't want it!!! Hessoul they deuh me and I saw that with the others it's the same so I'm going to see them.

Me: -gently- Jahid don't you want us to cut from there?

Jahid: Yeah but how?

Me: Bah by the door!

Jahid: Nah they're going to catch us!

Me: Bah, let's go upstairs and jump out the window!

Jahid: Mdddddddr but you're crazy!

Me: It looks like you jump from a floor!

Jahid: Okay okay!

Me: Ok I go up and you go up right after!

Jahid: Yeah!

I go up to my room and wait for him. 10 minutes later he comes.

Me: At last 2 years after the war!

Jahid: Looks like I knew you had to come to your room!

Me: It's good, you jump first!

Jahid: Saha.

He looks out the window climbs and jumps. I'm looking out the window and no I can't do that!

Me: Go ahead it's high!!

Jahid: Don't say tb. There are holes there my your feet on and get down!

Me: Naaam wait.

I do what he tells me and jump. We are behind the house.

Me: Where are we going now?

Jahid: We're walking!!

Me: Okay!

We go around and we see Elyes and Ismaël leaving through the front door.

Jahid: Your sight, your sight what you got me into!

Me: It's you there, you don't say by the door. Zeh you got out without getting caught?

Elyes: Bah, we told Mama that we'll meet you outside!

Me: Tin tin tin you see Jahid, you made me do a crazy mission when we could go out the door lol!

Isma: Mddddr what did you do?

Me&Jahid: We went through the window!

Them: Mdddddddddddr two djangos brother!!

Us: Well it's good you.

Them: Hahahahahaha sick!!

Jahid: Let's break Liyah!

Me: Yeah!!

We advance in front of them and hold our arms! It's my son, little mdddr! The others join us we walked until I don't know! There are people whistling at us. Ok what is their problem?

Anyway after our little walk we came back and there was almost nobody. Djibril and Younes are back. I went to cook with Mama and my "cousin". I wasn't very talkative. Whereas normally I babouf hella with my mother. In short, when we're done, we all sit at the table and eat. The atmosphere is rather tense. Then I go to my room with Kheridine.

Kheri': Mama is there or Papa?

Me: I don't know baby!

Kheri': Don't crawl baby!

Me: Shit you're baby!!

Khéri': Noon

Me: Aren't you my baby?

Kheri': Baby only you then!

Me: Yes there it is!! You're my baby all alone

Cheri': Yeah!

Me: Mdddddr

His knock on the door.

Cheri': Yes?

The person comes in and it's Younes! He comes next to us and we talked, laughed until we fell asleep...

Will his vacation go well? Will Lamine come back? Is there going to be a truck with Anzum?

To be continued...
