Aymen: Yeah Yeah find excuses!

Me: Wallah it's true!

Without answering me, he got up, turned off the light, then came back to rest in bed, turned to me and said.

Aymen: If a man made a mistake about a person and made him live in misery, how can he be forgiven?

I was shocked, finally I took this sentence for myself, I had the impression that he wanted to send me a message through this question!

Me: You just apologize to him.

Aymen: One day, Sofien y told me that my pride will destroy me.

Me: Pride makes a lot of people lose especially.

Aymen: Vasy sleep, it's late and after what happened!

Me: Yeah, what about Aymen?

Aymen: Yeah.

Me: Know your worst?

Aymen: No, don't worry. Go sleep now.

I didn't speak anymore, for at least 20 minutes, I didn't speak anymore, and he too wanted to sleep, but I was afraid of something, well especially of someone.

Me: And, Aymen, are you sleeping?

Ayman: No.

Me: Aymen, I'm scared.

Aymen: Afraid of me?

Me: You know the guy who ends here is what

Aymen: Yeah and well?

Me: He told me that it wasn't over, that he was going to come back and that I was going to go. Do you think he would be capable of anything?

Aymen: (he held my face, despite the fact that we were in the dark, the light from outside passed through the window.): Listen to me carefully, he won't touch you anymore, no one will touch you, okay?

I do .

Aymen: Now you can sleep peacefully, I'm here, and I promise you that all this is over. Tomorrow we will talk you and me.

Me: Alright.

I was finally starting to fall asleep, when I felt Aymen coming towards me and hugging me tight, my head was against his chest and his head was above my hair.

Aymen: (by giving me a kiss on the hair): Good night Isleym.

I didn't answer, I was almost comatose, then I fell asleep.

Until the next day, until the conversation with Aymen!

Then I started writing:

"We only have one family, take it either, yet you took me away from you, I needed you, needed you, mom, needed your arms, dad."

I needed a forgiving, protective brother with me, I needed someone to support me, to believe me when I shouted the truth and she whispered that lie.

Today I'm all alone, in this room, since this wedding I feel like I'm dying slowly but surely, I miss you wallah that I miss you but how forgiven this lack of confidence that you had to My respect.

You are my family, you knew me, I am a girl with principles and values, you should have believed me.

Aymen is going divorced, I always tried to stay straight, to preserve myself, I thought that if I remained this wise little girl Life was going to smile at me but I don't think I should have thought like her.

It was quite the opposite, I will soon turn 19, and within a year I will be divorced.

I have no job, no more family, soon no more husband, no friend.

Yeah maybe I shouldn't have been that nice girl!

My eyes closed, I put the sheet with the pen next to me and I fell asleep.

The next morning when I woke up next to me there was Aymen.

The sheet on which I had written the day before was on my chest of drawers, I got up and went to hide it, I didn't want Aymen to see it and take pity on me.

When he woke up, his breakfast was already on the table, he prepared it and went out.

Again I had nothing to say, and nowhere to go.

I'm going to spend a week, he doesn't know anything happened during this week.

Until today, it was May 5, I woke up that morning disgusted, disgusted with my life.

Today is my birthday, I was 19, it goes by quickly, but once again I'm all alone, even Aymen isn't here. He has not slept here.

I did my cleaning, once finished, I opened the door to the garden, and I wedged myself in front of the TV with a pot of ice cream. Yeah so depressed!

It was 5 p.m., for me it's as usual at any time, I'm stuck in front of the TV.

When the front door opened and Aymen appeared.

Aymen: Wesh Isleym!

It was easy for a week, finally since the conversation we had on the divorce (previous part), he hadn't spoken to me at the same time, we hardly ever met!

So I was a bit shocked that he was talking to me.

Me: Wesh!

Aymen: (sitting on the sofa): Wesh what are you? Would you say you're depressed!

Me: No no.

Aymen: In short, go do something good to eat tonight we have guests!

Me: Huh? Who ?

Aymen: A colleague of mine with his wife, and his brothers-in-law. In short, lift your butt and put yourself in the kitchen!

Me: Okay.

I started to get up, luckily the shopping was done, but Aymen called out to me:

Aymen: Oh Tonight you're doing well, huh!

Me: Why do it, it's not my colleagues huh!

Aymen: I don't want people to say that I married a tramp!

I didn't even answer, that one lacks tact.

In short I went to the kitchen, and it was too hot to make tagines, or couscous.

So I made a salad, with shrimp, and as a dish, rice with chicken curry, and chocolate ice cream, the big balls there.

While I was cooking Aymen came to see me.

Aymen: What are you doing?

Me: Chicken curry rice, and shrimp salad.

Aymen: I hope it's good, at least!

Me: Bah Yeah, if it's me who cooks!

Aymen: I'm worried about that!

Me: Mdrr, go out!

Aymen: Oh there will be 4, so the more of us two, we will be 6!

Me: Mdrrrrrrr it's good Aymen you know how to count.

Aymen: Mdrrr your race, are you kidding me?

Me: No, I wouldn't dare!

Aymen: That's it!

It made me happy to laugh with him like his Brief at 7 p.m., everything was ready, the house was tidy, the table set, and I was ready too.

I had put on a pink dress with suspenders and opaque black tights.

Strangely Aymen accepted that I stay on a suspender, weird since it was one of his friends who was invited and I don't think he's a very good influence but hey.

And I had curls, and I had put on pink wedges.

Aymen: Palaalaa, when you want, you can be beautiful huh!

Me: Mdrrr, Yeah on the other hand you huh.

Aymen: Why are you lying, I'm an atomic firecracker!

Me: Dreams are the night, huh!

And without lying to you Aymen was particularly handsome that evening, he had put on dark jeans, and a white top, which brought out his chocolate bars, and his beautiful tanned skin color.

Aymen: Come on, plus she doesn't look like an Arab.

Me: Noon stop, I have a real Arab head there!

Aymen: No wesh, you're all white!

Me: But so what, everyone says it's nice too!

Aymen: Did I say the opposite?

Waahou, indirectly, he just paid me a compliment, that's good, we're making progress.

Slowly but surely !

While we were bickering like kids, the front door rang.

Aymen: Azy, stay there, I'll open.

Me: Okay.

He left to open when I hear:

Woman's voice: Selem, my son, how are you?

Oh my God, no I'm dreaming he didn't do it anyway!

Aymen: Yes and you Tata?

Female voice: Yes hamdoullah.

Then he talked to several people at the same time, I was stuck in my place in the middle of the living room, I didn't know what to do when:

Aymen: Came to the living room.

No, not everything but not that! And shit!

Here they are in front of me, Youssef, Dad, Mom and Sarah.

Sarah: Isleym!!

She came running and threw herself into my arms, I hugged her very tightly.

4 months away from my family, without any news from them.

Me: Honey, how are you?

Sarah: Missed you Isleym! You are so pretty !

Me: Thank you honey, you too.

Then she broke away from me, I straightened up, and my mother came forward in her turn.

Mom: My daughter, I'm sorry.

Me: (with tears in my eyes).

Mum: Come here, my daughter, come here!

She took me in her arms and hugged me tight, I couldn't help myself, and in turn I hugged her very tight.

Mom: Aymen, explained to us my darling, we are sorry to have believed him, he also made us show the certificate, I am ashamed of myself my daughter so ashamed.

So the reunion with my family, I owed it to Aymen, he finally had a heart?

My father in turn came and hugged me apologetically.

Then once they let me go, I looked Youssef straight in the eye, and so did he, then he gestured for me to follow him.

We went upstairs, got up there, he sat on my bed, and I was up.

Youssef: Damn!

Me :…

Youssef: I'm really sorry! I didn't know she was lying Isleym, wallah I want to kill her!

Me: But Youssef, I trusted you, I thought you did too, why didn't you believe me?

Youssef: We were upset, with everything we hear outside, we said that even you could have been weak, and take away our honor.

Me: I would never have done that.

Youssef: I know that, wallah that I regret! Come on LITTLE sister! (taking me in his arms).

Me: How many times am I going to tell you that I am the GREATEST!

Youssef: hush, I fucking missed you!

We were there, hugging each other very tightly, when the door to my room opened.

Aymen: Wesh are reconciliations good?

Youssef: I find my sister, I need a wesh time!

Me: Mrrr.

Youssef: Well I'm going down, I'm waiting for you downstairs.

Me: Okay.

Youssef: and hurry up lovers, I have the slab me!

Aymen: Go clear the room kid!

Youssef: (leaving): Mdrrr alalaa I'm too much of a boss

Once Youssef came out of the room, I looked at Aymen and jumped at him.

Me: Thank you Aymen, thank you!

Aymen: (smiling): Derien Isleym, I owed you that!

Then I realized, that I was in his arms, oh the shame.

Me: (stepping back): Uh, I'm sorry, it's uh...

Aymen: Mdrrr, come on easy!

He pulled me into his arms and we hugged tightly, then he gave me a kiss on the forehead and said:

Aymen: Come on, let's go down, they're waiting for us.

*

We are in the living room, around a good mint tea despite it being quite hot, then I see Youssef and Aymen were getting up but I do not calculate them, then suddenly the light goes out, and I hear:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ISLEY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!
