External narrator
Amina has been working for a few months now where her father had sent her as a punishment, she learned so much by spending time with these women who did not have much in life, these women who found the means to be happy despite the blows that life has inflicted on them, she was surprised to like the company of these children whom she called brats when she had just arrived there, she even has the ambition to do more for these women by helping them to train and be able to find work to gain their independence
She had the idea of making her mother's dream come true, which was to see more independent women, which was not very common in their country.
In this center she met a man, Moustapha he was not a rich man as she likes them he was just a simple volunteer of the center, she found him very handsome and nice, spending time with this man helped her so much to feel better and at peace with herself, this man to whom she told her not very glorious past but who never thought about judging her, on the contrary he accepted her with all her faults, he finds her very brave to try to change
She realized this feeling which was love, this feeling that makes you become a better person, this feeling that pushes you to move forward every day, she finally understood that Khalil she never had it loved it, she just wanted it to belong to her like it was a trophy
She felt so grateful that her father had sent her to this place that changed her life, her father had even already given her permission to return but she thinks that her mission towards these women is not over yet and prefers stay a little longer, it's also a way to stay close to this man who made his heart beat
For a while she has been thinking about repenting for her actions and asking forgiveness from Khalil and his wife for all the harm she had done to them, she admits having caused them a lot of harm and it was time for her to repair the harm. that she had done
She sorely lacked the courage to do it, but that day with a little encouragement from her man, she decides to start and assume the consequences of her actions, she calls him several times with her number but Khalil does not answer, she does not give up she leaves him a message to tell him that it is urgent and that it concerns his wife, he calls her back immediately after opening the message
Khalil: Hail!
Amina: Halo
Khalil: what do you want? if this is another ruse to fuck the shit up I warn you that...
Amina cutting him off: no, don't worry, I don't intend to hurt you, on the contrary, I wish to repair the wrong that I have done to you
Khalil: what are you trying to tell me?
Amina: I will ask you to make an effort to listen to what I have to say to you until the end even if it seems difficult to you, try to take it upon yourself to listen to me
Khalil: are you going to speak at the end?
She takes her courage in both hands and tells him all the plans she had with Sharif, from Dubai to Lome, she told him everything she had done to separate them, Khalil remained silent and calm until until she finishes her story
Khalil: no but it's not possible, tell me it's not true
Amina: I'm so sorry for all the harm I had to do to you, I was driven by a spirit of jealousy that pushed me to hurt everyone around me, today I decided to change and to repent, I ask you to forgive me for all the evil that I had to do to you
Khalil: are you aware of everything you have caused in my marriage? I went so far as to throw my wife out of her house
Amina starting to cry: I'm so sorry, go get your wife please, this woman loves you more than anything and no man will ever be able to turn her away from you, go get her please
Khalil: You really are a bunch of…
Amina: release your heart, say everything you have on your heart, but I beg you in the name of God forgive me both of you, I know that I have hurt you a lot, but I beg you to find a gone to the bottom of your heart to forgive me
Khalil in a calm tone: all I can remember is the fact that you have chosen to right the wrongs you have caused, I will pray to God to help me forgive you and to help you really change if that's what you want
Amina: thank you very much Khalil, God bless you, from today you will never hear from me again, be happy!!!
On those he hangs up the call, he didn't know how to behave, he had been so stupid to have thought that his Nabila, his little virgin could have thought of a man other than him one day, he did kicked out of his house without even giving him a chance to defend himself, he felt so stupid and so angry with himself
His mission now was to do everything possible to win his wife's forgiveness and rebuild his family, already living on the same roof he only had to win back her heart.
Nabila
I've been living with Khalil here for a while, he often acts like we're still a couple but I always make sure to remind him that's not the case.
When I arrive this evening from work I give my son a bath then I feed him, when he falls asleep I put him on the bed before going to take a bath too
I've just finished taking my shower, I sometimes bring Mayer with me to work to avoid disturbing Adja too much, moreover, I haven't had the heart to release her nanny, I have to find her a new family before let her go so she sometimes babysits Mayer when I bring him to work and when he stays at home she helps Adja take care of him
As I was saying earlier, I've just finished taking my bath, I'm going into the dressing room, I'm wearing underpants and I'm grabbing some pants and then a tank top, I'm going to get dressed in my room, I'm surprised to see that I had a guest
Me (covering my chest): what are you doing here? turn around quickly
Khalil: It's not like I've never seen you naked, you're my wife after all
I don't answer him I run into the dressing room to get dressed quickly, luckily he didn't have the bad idea to follow me, when I finish I join him furiously in the bedroom
Me: what's got into you coming here as if it were your room?
Khalil: stop being so defensive with me, there's nothing wrong with me seeing you in your underwear
Me: are you doing it on purpose or are you going crazy? what are you doing ?
Khalil: I heard him crying so I came to see what was wrong, rocked him and put him back to bed when he fell asleep
Me: what are you still doing? he's already asleep, isn't he?
Khalil looking at me stupidly: …
Me: we will try to define the limits, I do not allow you to enter here as you wish, you knock on the door and you only come in when I allow you, imagine that I allow myself to enter your room as if it were a mill
Khalil: I don't mind that you come into my room or that you decide to come and sleep there or that you completely move in as before
Me: I'm not your wife anymore, I'm just here for our son, put your mind to it, now get out!
He advances towards me until I am stuck at the level of the wall
Khalil: you're not going to make me believe that you no longer feel anything for me, that being so close to me has no effect on you, dare to look me in the eye and tell me that you don't don't feel all that i feel right now
I'm so confused but there's no way I let him get the better of me
Me (swallowing my saliva with difficulty): get away from me, now
Khalil (smiling): that's what I thought, for now I'll leave you alone, I don't want to wake up the little one
He gives me a kiss on the forehead before heading for the door, I stay there watching him walk away helpless and upset to see how much I can't control my emotions, I would have liked him to put this kiss on my lips, I would have liked him to caress me and make love to me, yes I want to make love with this man of whom I am madly in love and if he had tried something else this tonight I wouldn't have stopped him from going far, I'm so stupid
I'm so angry that I don't want to see his face anymore, at least for tonight, I need to get some fresh air again to stop thinking about him and not be stupid, I have afraid of going knocking on his door in the middle of the night
I drive to my aunt's house, when I arrive at the entrance level I hear discussions which make me understand that they have visitors and that everyone is happy
I come home without knocking, I also need a little good humor in my life right now, I find my life a little sad right now
I see my aunt who was chatting with my uncle in the living room, I greet them before taking a seat in an armchair
My aunt: but what are you doing at this time here?
Me: So I no longer have the right to come and see you? tell me and i'm leaving
My aunt: don't be the one who is upset, I'm just surprised to see you here at this hour without your son or your husband
Me: I just wanted to say hello to you and Khalil prefers to spend the evening with his son
I don't want to tell her that I still have in mind the idea of leaving when things will be better between her son and him, I don't want anyone to lecture me, I prefer to leave her believe that we are trying to work things out
My aunt: don't tell me you're jealous of your own son
Me: not at all, it makes me happy that they start by having a normal relationship between father and son
My aunt: don't worry I was just teasing you, by the way you arrived safely your sister's fiancé come and pay us a little visit this evening
Me (surprised): Since when does she have a fiancé?
My aunt: didn't I tell you that she had met an Arab in the meantime on the internet?
Me: oh yes, I had forgotten, it makes me really happy that things have become so serious between the two, may Allah Barakatize their union to come, but where are they?
My aunt: they came back to the kitchen and brought us dessert, I wonder what they've been doing there all that time
Me (giggling): don't be too curious aunt
We stay there chatting for a while while waiting for the lovers to arrive, Razak ends up getting up and leaving; I was shocked to see who my dear cousin's alleged fiancé was, sheriff? Does she know what kind of dishonest he is?
Me: is he the fiancé?
My aunt: yes, let me introduce you to Cherif, your sister's fiancé
Me: darling?? I have to leave my aunt, it's getting late
My aunt: but wait a bit, the time to have a dessert and get to know your brother-in-law better
Me: I have to go my aunt, next time…
