Chapter 7

  • Khalil
  • When I wake up this morning the little one still hasn't returned to the bedroom, it's really funny, if she thinks that her presence is going to prevent me from living my life, she's getting her fingers in the eye
  • I get up and get ready for work, I'm even already late, when I go downstairs the little one was still not around, I go to greet Adja in the kitchen before hitting the road
  • Me: hello my Adja, did you sleep well?
  • Adja: hello my son, yes I slept well and you?
  • Me: it's okay, I'm going to have to leave you, I'm already late
  • Adja: no my son, wait a bit, breakfast is ready, you're going to take a truk before leaving, and I want to talk to you.
  • Me frowning: Who's going on?
  • Adja putting my dish in front of me: yesterday you went out again and came home late at night, don't you think it's time to change this way of life? you have a wife now, you have to spend your nights by her side
  • Me laughing: so that's why you wanted to talk to me? I never asked to marry her, I don't want this marriage so I don't feel I owe her anything, I live my life as I see fit if she doesn't like it she can going back where it came from is simple
  • Adja: don't talk like that my son, you're not a child anymore, the life you lead doesn't honor you, it doesn't honor the Muslim you are, you make your mom think, your way of life gives her insomnia, she also wants to take her grandchildren in her arms before leaving one day
  • Me: don't you think it's emotional blackmail, are you doing me like that?
  • Adja: this is in no way an emotional blackmail, I'm only telling you the truth, try to do a job yourself, think and change your behavior, you have a woman now and she must be your priority now, in addition c she's a very beautiful woman, don't you like her?
  • Me: I have known better in terms of beauty
  • Adja: don't be silly, I would like you to be as happy, I would like you to also taste this happiness which is to find your family every evening when you come back from work, when your children come running towards you to say welcome to you, when your wife welcomes you with a smile on her lips, telling you how much you missed her, don't you want to live with her? you don't want to start your family?
  • Me running my hands through my hair: yes but…
  • Adja cutting me off: there is no but that holds, just promise me to take into account what I have just told you
  • Me: ok, I'll think about it...
  • Adja: okay, finish your dish for me, it will get cold
  • I admit that I really lost my appetite after this conversation, I try to have some butcher and I take the road to work, it would make me really happy to have a child too, but must I let Aziz me to impose one's choices so easily?
  • Abdel entering my office: hi old man, you were missing yesterday, you forgot our meeting with our Saudi partners?
  • Me panting: if you knew what happened to me yesterday...
  • Abdel sitting in front of me: tell a little, what happened?
  • Me: Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me.
  • Abdel: go give birth
  • Me: yesterday my wife moved into the house
  • Abdel in shock: your wife? since when do you have a wife? stop teasing me and tell me what happened
  • Me: as I told you, you have in front of you a married man
  • Abdel: when did you get married and I was not invited
  • Me: even I was not invited
  • Abdel giggling: no, but be a little serious, I didn't know you had that sense of humor
  • Me: do I have the face of someone who jokes? my mother and her husband are allowed to find a wife and celebrate my marriage for me behind my back
  • Abdel laughing harder: so they were serious with their threat?
  • Me: obviously yes
  • Abdel: what do you plan to do now?
  • Me: I don't really know, I want to give her a hard time so that she goes away on her own, but I had a conversation with Adja this morning that doesn't go out of my mind, plus this girl I know her
  • Abdel: wait wait, you have already slept together is that it?
  • Me: nuance we slept together
  • Abdel: the great Khalil will not believe me that he slept with a woman without touching her
  • Me: it's the kid I helped in a nightclub in Paris on my last trip
  • Abdel straightening up: hey, how small the world is, the only girl who had the privilege of sleeping in your room until dawn, the only one who didn't make you want to run away in the middle of the night, if the destiny brings her back on your way, it's probably for something
  • Me: mister the romantic, stop with your drowned theories
  • Abdel: I think you should try to build something with her since your parents will never accept that he has a divorce and more like you described to me she is a very beautiful girl, you could build your own family and a home with her
  • Me: what can I tell you, it's in my short-term plans
  • Abdel: the simple fact of seeing you with children, the way everything stops around you when you are with them, the love you show them tells me that you are ready and you have been for a long time so give yourself luck with this girl
  • Me: mister cupid it's good send me the report of the meeting with the partners
  • I spend the rest of my day working so I don't think about everything they're putting in my head, I don't intend to let myself be influenced so easily
  • When I take my head out of my files it was already 9 p.m., and I who thought I was going home sooner, I pick up my stuff quickly I have to go home, I don't want Adja to get mad at me
  • When I arrive at my front I see another car behind me, when I enter your car I am also inside, when I get out and I meet the person who was getting out of the car I feel that tonight I am going to have problems
  • Me: but laure what are you doing here at this hour?
  • Laure sticking to me: I wanted to surprise you my heart, I missed you a lot
  • Me walking towards the entrance: I think you should go inside
  • Laure: don't tell me you want to send me home at this time of the evening
  • Me: you are not going to tell me that this hour is late for you so go home
  • I walk inside all the lights were already off, I turn on a lamp and I take a seat in the living room, I put my jacket and my bag on a sofa and I loosen my tie
  • She followed me so far this one, I would like us to spend another night together but not here, if I don't want Adja to come across us here after the conversation we had today
  • Laure sitting on top of me astride: let me take the buttons off your shirt, you really look tired, I lean back and let her do it but this girl started by kissing my neck even before I I don't have time to stop it
  • Nabila on my stairs: no, but you're crazy, right?
  • I wake up with her with a start like a child who has just been caught stealing lollipops
  • Laure: but my heart, who is this little one?
  • I have the impression that she hasn't understood anything yet, huh...
