INAYA -The moment I finally sat inside our car, I took off my heels and put on the comfortable flats I earlier asked the servants to leave in the car for me, then I looked at the guests standing outside our car who curiously followed us when we walked outside the dining hall, and the journalists who desperately tried to take pictures of us between the human wall formed by the bodyguards then I felt quite emotional.I have been afraid of standing in front of these people as Hamza's wife for years for nothing, the filladis is much more strong than I expected after all, even my humble background looked very sophisticated when Buelguassem Filladi described it.This isn't a surprise at all, since my father-in-law and I grew up in the same house, in the same town, we ate the food cooked by the same woman, and he still managed to build a whole empire in a very different world from ours, such man is more than capable of deceiving people with lies.I don't know what was his purpose behind bei
Yes, Ines slapped him with all her might.I guess this slap woke them both up, They silently looked at one another for long moments, before Akrem turned around, opened his car's seat again, then drove out of the villa at an insane speed.Right after he left, Hamza ordered the guards, "follow him and bring him back safely!"Then he calmly looked at Ines and said, "and you, follow me."He steadily walked towards the guest's hall not even minding to turn behind him and check if Ines indeed followed him like he ordered, of course, he didn't have to do that because only a headless would dare to disobey him! just looking at his back made me have goosebumps and it wasn't even me who he addressed! I didn't dare to meddle again.Being the useless witness that I am, I just followed both siblings slowly, trying to make my presence as unnoticeable as I could. "What happened with your boyfriend?" He asked as soon as he walked inside the hall and he dismissed the servants and guards.Ines looked v
INAYA -Ines must have been feeling very guilty and worried about Akrem, because she surprisingly turned into a chatterbox a few minutes after the first words we said, forgetting her eternal hatred for me and our everlasting cold war.She kept asking me funny questions like, "If the nose bleeds, does that mean the bones are broken?" "Will Akrem have difficulty breathing in the future? Will he snore?" "the doctor said the nose is a fragile area when I was in the hospital, can Akrem possibly have a brain hemorrhage?"I had so many answers to her questions in my head in fact, like, "I have pain phobia, I have blood phobia, I have a phobia from doctors occasionally too, so I don't think you should discuss these horrifying possibilities with me,""my medical knowledge is even poo rer than yours, so why are you asking me in the first place?" "Akrem was only punched once, Shouldn't you perhaps remember the person who was totally disfigured!" Of course, I didn't dare say any of these logica
INAYA -I don't know whether Hamza noticed Akrem's feelings toward his sister or not, he didn't talk to me about it and I didn't ask, so I really have no idea.You see, my husband is incomparably people-smart when it comes to business, he would read those commerce devils' faces as if they are an open book and pave his way across that deceitful world of theirs with ease, well, I guess he is so trained on this hard task of detecting mischief that he simply ended up failing miserably in seeing clearer, purer and dumbly obvious feelings like love.I thought about this when we were all having breakfast in early September morning, the tension in the air was suffocating, Akrem was secretly looking at Ines, Ines was secretly looking at Akrem, Nana was secretly -actually pretty obviously- looking at me, and stuffing my plate with food so as, according to her self made medical knowledge, I gain weight and become much healthier, which will magically solve all my conceiving problems, So yes, she
INAYA -Although we were in early September, the weather was still hellishly hot, Or at least this was what I tried to think about when we finally left the dining hall and went to the guest's hall, the weather.While absently observing the sun rays brightly reflecting on the tree leafs and the surface of the pool out in the garden I inevitably recalled the old summers I spent in my hometown, where the temperature was above 40°c for most of the summer and we still had to manage staying alive through them without air conditioner because Nana thought it was a waste of money and unhealthy, where we literally boiled under our clothes when we dared walk in the streets midday, although these memories were obviously filled with heat I still felt this unexplainable coldness when recalling them, and this deep void inside me I failed to fill."Are you alright sweetheart?" Hamza whispered in my ear while sitting beside me.When I looked at him, his eyes were full of concern, I'm sure he didn't e
Does Hamza love his sister?Well yes, of course, naturally.Although I can't say for sure whether this man still has a spot in his heart for his parents, he sure has a large space for his sister.I guess when growing up they both shared the burden of being the children of neglecting and self-absorbed parents, it comes by nature to rely on one another during such circumstances, I genuinely think that If I had a sister or a brother then I wouldn't have been so alone, at least there would have been someone who truly understood and supported me.I'm not saying that I particularly admire their relationship, Hamza doesn't set the best example for being a good brother, but it's still good to see him showing concern from time to time about his only sister, even though his way of doing so is rather strange.Well, After I was left alone in the dining hall after hearing Akrem's confession, which by the way is still a big surprise to me since I never expected him to straightforwardly tell me - th
INAYA -So did we end up going out in the middle of the night to search for Ines in the streets of D city?That would have been very cool actually since I've never had such an experience in my life, but No, we didn't.It was all because of me actually. When we were about to leave the room, Hamza quickly grabbed the thermometer which was carelessly thrown on top of the bed then he measured my fever again.This time round, It was 38,4 °c.So Hamza's genius idea of putting me in a bathtub full of warm water not only did nothing to me, It made my situation even worse.Of course, I didn't need to comment or even move my eyebrows, the moment my husband saw my new temperature he realized he wasn't destined to be a doctor for a reason: because he's a failure obviously.Anyways, I was finally allowed to take medication, we waited for 5 minutes for a reason only god and Hamza know, then my temperature was taken again.The thermometer showed the same result.I mean, what was he even thinking?? I
Akrem was kissing Ines... I should rather say it was Ines who was kissing Akrem.I mean, from the angle I was standing at, it was evident to notice Ines standing on her toes, her neck flexed up, she looked in a very prominent position that one can't falsely assume she was a weak flower taken advantage of... I guess, almost guaranteed, she was the one to start the kiss!Being the journalist that I am, analyzing such details comes by nature, even when I don't intentionally want to have this kind of thinking process, I still end up going through it to the point of almost perfection when my logic is objective.In my head, I have already reconstructed the whole scenario which led to this very unexpected kiss the moment I stood in front of them.And it was like this, Azziz's sudden admission to the hospital revived his sad memory in Ines's heart, she was reminded as well that he only took advantage of her and never actually fell in love, and her womanhood was utterly hurt again. Akrem said
