Mariam
I was in bed when Nabila calls me in tears to tell me that it's like his Khalil left with their child yesterday and threatened to take custody of him but how dare he do something to him the same ? Who does he think he is to behave like this?
I feel so guilty for pushing him to tell him the whole truth, I thought he was different from the others, now I was wrong on his account, these men they are all the same children of the same father and same mother
I was so mad I got up and took my car key to his house I'm sick of these men thinking they can play with us without being punished I'm sick of them take us for objects, I may have thought they thought they could do anything with us, fortunately Nabila had told me where they lived, he lives at the millennium residence not far from my house, that's good even
I take my car when I arrive the security lets me pass after having taken the trouble to scan my identity card and to make sure that I have nothing dangerous in my car, arrive in front of their door I clackson then the guard lets me in after asking me a series of questions I feel like I'm going to see an authority, is he as important as that? I admit that she refrained from talking to me about the extent of power and the importance of her husband, besides I don't even know his last name, I just know that his name is Khalil anyway that's enough
When I enter the house there was no more security so I go straight to the front door that I find and when I enter I start screaming in anger
Me: Where is that son of a bitch? where is he ?
I see some house girls coming out and an elderly lady coming towards me after asking her daughters to go back to the kitchen.
The lady: who are you miss and who are you looking for?
Me: I want to see Khalil, is he hiding or what? let him come face me if he has the balls, aren't you ashamed to send someone else to defend you?
The lady: calm down, I hope he doesn't know how to misbehave with you
A voice behind: not at all since I don't know her
When I turn I almost fell backwards, he was coming down the stairs with Mayer in his arms who was still dozing, I am shocked to see who her husband was, Khalil BEN ATAL one of the greatest fortunes in the country, I I was scared at first but I didn't let myself go, I held his gaze until he reached my height
Khalil: Do you realize that you woke up my child?
Me: how dare you?
Khalil: you will calm down for a moment and review the way you talk to me, I will not allow anyone to disrespect me, especially at home
He turns to the lady and hands her Mayer
The lady: try to keep calm my son, please
Khalil: can you change it and feed it please?
The lady nods to him before disappearing down a hallway, he looks at me for a moment from head to toe before opening his mouth
Khalil staring at me in the eye: now you are going to tell me who you are and where you had the nerve to come to my house so early in the morning to make so much noise
Me: I am a friend of Nabila and Godmother of Mayer
Khalil: ah I see, I should have made the connection given your level of insolence, I guess she sent you, so I'm listening
He shows a calm that really makes me even more angry, he has such an intimidating build that I come to wonder where I find the strength to be able to continue to stand on my feet and answer him
Me: first of all no one sent me, I'm here on my own, how dare you take his son away from him? who do you think you are? you are really heartless
Khalil with a smirk: just like she dared to hide my son from me for a whole year, I don't see what I've done that's different, I'm only following her footsteps
Me: How dare you pass judgment after the way you treated him? how dare you? would you have accepted this child if there had not been so much resemblance between you? no, I do not think so ; let me tell you it's not going to be like that, we're going to fight until the end
Khalil: well go ahead and fight as much as you want, I'm not stopping you
Me: you're just a selfish and heartless being, you only think about your little person, I'm sure all you do is to punish her and hurt her, but you're going to bite yourself fingers
Khalil: that's enough, I've heard you enough, you can go and pour your insults elsewhere I have better things to do, I guess you were in on the secret if you couldn't reason with her I don't see why I 'll listen to your reproaches, you can leave now
On his words he turns on his heels and leaves me like a fool, I had no choice but to turn on my heels and go back to where I come from, I don't know what to do for her anymore I feel so useless and I regret having acted out of anger, I hope until it will not harm him
Nabila
Mariam just called me right away to tell me that she went to confront Khalil and she was afraid that it would harm me, Khalil I know him very well no one influences him, when he does something it's that he has decided, nothing she has said to him today will influence his decision so I reassure her and even congratulate her for having been able to stand up to him, most people when they find out who he is lose their way, talking about that she blamed me for not telling her who he was which really makes me laugh despite everything I'm going through right now, guess I've gotten so used to it him that I only see him as Khalil a man to whom I am married, not Khalil BEN ATAL
My aunt asked me to come and see her, I was surprised to know that she already knew what was going on because I didn't call her to avoid worrying her
I get ready in spite of myself and I take the road to her house, that night I couldn't close my eyes, I was so stressed and worried, I had no way of knowing if he was able to eat well, if he had slept well without his comforter, I don't know how he felt after spending his first night in a house he didn't know, if he cried, if he asked me for everything I don't know
I would have liked to go directly to Khalil to see my son but I'm afraid of making the situation even worse, I'm going to wait a bit before going there to calm down a bit, maybe with the advice from my aunt I will know what to do to get my son back, since it is impossible for me to live without him, to be able to sleep without him being next to me, without smelling his scent, being able to wake him up in the morning with lots of kisses or hear him laugh I can't, my son is my whole life
When I walk into my aunt's living room I was shocked by what I saw
External narrator
When her aunt asked her to come by today she didn't know what to expect, what she thought was a meeting between her and her aunt turned out to be a family reunion, there was everyone , her aunt, her uncle, Khalil, Yemi, Aziz and Mayer they were all sitting there looking at her, she remains static for a moment before regaining her senses and running to take her son in her arms, she had missed him so much, she felt like I hadn't seen him in forever
At the moment Khalil was staring at his wife and giving her a detailed look, he realized that yesterday under the effect of anger he hadn't really paid attention to her, this woman he had known to be slender, he realizes realize that now she had more pronounced curves, a wider pelvis, a slightly more developed chest and a well rounded behind, she had become so much more beautiful perhaps the effect of motherhood, she was dressed in a jumpsuit in ample navy blue silk which nevertheless highlighted her shapes, she had covered her hair with a black veil, he realized that she always respected the promise she had made to him to always hide her hair, he was so jealous of her fabrics that covered his body, he would have liked to be in their place; he was cursing himself for having all these thoughts he was currently having towards her and there is one thing that did not escape him, he noticed all the dark circles under her eyes and the white color of her eyes which had turned red, he immediately understood that she hadn't been able to rest the night before and that she had also been crying, he remembers how Gronon she was in the mornings when she slept badly at night, which makes him draw a smile on his lips, he tells himself that at this hour his wife was a ball of nerves that could explode at any moment
Yasmine: come and sit my daughter, your beautiful family is there for you
She sits in the place that her aunt indicated to her with Mayer in her arms, her aunt asks a servant to come and pick up the child so that they can talk between adults
Yemi: I know you are surprised by this meeting organized this morning, my son wanted us to meet to talk about your son
She stiffened, her heart was starting to beat but she tried to keep calm.
Khalil: first of all I want to apologize for behaving like this last night, you are the mother of my son and whatever the situation in which we find ourselves, we must act with common sense for the good for our child, if you accept my apologies then we can continue the sitting
Nabila surprised: even if you were quite harsh with me, I understand your reaction, you have nothing to be forgiven for
She was expecting to start another battle with him but she was surprised to see the turn of events so she decides to open her mind and avoid another argument exploding.
Khalil: I confess that I was really hurt deep inside when I learned that you deliberately concealed the existence of my son from me, but I have to put my feelings aside and think first place for the good of our son reason why I decided not to go in front of any judge and to settle this matter between us, I do not intend to withdraw custody of our son from you
Yemi: I'm so happy you came back feeling better my son, only dialogue solves problems
Yasmine: thank you very much my son
Aziz: I'm really proud of you, I admire the maturity you're showing at the moment, I know it's not easy for you but you decided to think of your son first, that's all in your honor
She sighs of relief when she hears him say these words, she is very surprised at the maturity shown by her husband and thanks heaven that he has returned to feel better.
Khalil: even if I want to spend more time with him to get to know him and make up for lost time, I will never force your hand
Nabila very happy: you can have it all the time you want, I don't find any problem with that
Khalil: I wanted the whole family to be here this morning because I made a decision and I would like them to be our witnesses...
