منذ عشر سنوات، تخلّت عن اسم "خليل" كما يتخلى الجندي عن بدلته القديمة. صارت "ديما السرايا"، ابنة عائلة لا ماضٍ لها يستحق الذكر، لا أعداء، لا قصة دمٍ تستوجب الانتقام. هذا الاسم الجديد كان درعها طوال سنتين كاملتين من التخطيط الصامت، سنتين بنتهما خالتها سلمى حجراً حجراً، حتى وصلت ديما إلى هذه اللحظة بالضبط: عروساً تدخل بيت آل النجم من بابه الأمامي، دون أن يشكّ فيها أحد. "تأكدي أنك تتذكرين كل شيء." كان صوت سلمى يتردد في ذهنها وهي تضع آخر لمسة على شعرها. "زاهر النجم ليس رجلاً غبياً. هو الوحيد القادر على كشفك إن ارتكبتِ خطأً واحداً." ديما ابتسمت لنفسها في المرآة، ابتسامة لا تحمل فرحاً، بل تصميماً. "لن أرتكب أخطاء يا خالتي. لقد انتظرت طويلاً لهذا اليوم." لم تكن تتذكر وجوه عائلتها بوضوح كامل، الزمن كان قاسياً مع الذكريات الطفولية. لكنها تتذكر الصوت، صوت الانفجار الذي مزّق ليلتهم الأخيرة في ضيعة آل خليل قرب دمشق، وصوت أمها وهي تصرخ باسمها قبل أن تختفي إلى الأبد بين الدخان والنار. كانت ديما في الثامنة من عمرها. ولم يخبرها أحد لاحقاً بالحقيقة كاملة، إلا أن التحقيقات السرية التي قامت بها سلمى على مدى سنوات أشارت بثبات إلى اسم واحد: آل النجم. وعلى رأسهم، والد زاهر، الذي ورث عنه الابن العرش والسلطة، ومعهما — كما تظن ديما — جريمة لم تُغفر. اليوم، ستضع خاتمها في يد الرجل الذي تحمّله مسؤولية كل ما خسرته. لن يكون هذا حباً. سيكون بداية النهاية له. طرق الباب بهدوء، ودخلت إحدى مساعدات قاعة الزفاف لتعلن أن السيارة جاهزة. أخذت ديما نفساً عميقاً، ونظرت للمرة الأخيرة إلى صورة العروس في المرآة، قبل أن تستجمع كل خيوط هدوئها المصطنع وتسير نحو الباب. كان الممر الفسيح المؤدي إلى صالة الانتظار، حيث ستلتقي بموكب العائلة قبل دخولها رسمياً، خالياً إلا من بعض الحراس الواقفين بصمت. وبينما كانت تهمّ بالعبور، خرج رجل من غرفة جانبية، متأنق ببدلة سوداء فاخرة، وابتسامة هادئة على وجهه. كانت تعرفه: حسام النجم، عمّ زاهر، ويده اليمنى في كل شؤون العائلة. لم يكن هناك ما يستدعي القلق من وجوده، فهو ضيف شرف طبيعي في هذا اليوم. توقف حسام أمامها، وأطال النظر إليها بطريقة لم تستطع تفسيرها على الفور، بين الفضول والتقييم. "تبدين رائعة يا ديما." قال بصوت مهذّب، ثم اقترب خطوة واحدة، وأضاف بنعومة لا تخلو من شيء غامض: "زاهر محظوظ حقاً." أرادت أن تشكره وتمضي، لكنه لم يتحرك من مكانه. ابتسم ابتسامة هادئة أثارت قشعريرة لم تستطع كبتها، واقترب خطوة أخرى، وقال بصوت لا يتجاوز الهمس: "ثوبكِ جميل... يشبه كثيراً ثوب والدتكِ." ثم انصرف، كأن شيئاً لم يكن، تاركاً وراءه عبارة معلّقة في الهواء كحبل مشنقة. تجمّدت ديما في مكانها، وقلبها توقف عن النبض للحظة كاملة. لم يكن أحد يعرف عن والدتها، لم تذكر اسمها لأي إنسان غير سلمى منذ عشر سنوات. فمن أين يعرف حسام النجم شكل ثوب أمها؟ ولماذا يعرف عنها أصلاً؟COLLEGE LIFE DAY 2:School resumption. Last night was a different story. I woke up early this morning for my first day just as Janet told me, we have to be in school on time. I lazily reached out for my phone on the dresser by my bed to check the time ‘6:30 am, still early for me. If I can get ready within an hour, thirty minutes is a small time to dress up. Our bedroom was dimly lit, when I looked across my bed Janet wasn’t on her bed. I assumed she might have woken up earlier and probably gone downstairs. Living in a five-star hotel dorm tempted me into missing my first day, no, no I am not taking that chance. So I got up, took my clothes from my last bag that I haven’t sorted out, and head to the bathroom. I’ve calculated my timing, everything I am about to do, out of thirty minutes I used fifteen minutes to shower. It was amazing, my body felt great from the warm water beating softly against my skin. After my bath, I got dressed then arrange
Freddy’s povAt the hotel…Freddy leaves his premium suite accompanied by three hotel staff. His three weeks stay just ended which means he had to continue living in his house among the high rise. Freddy didn’t pay much attention to the men checking out of their hotel rooms but got caught in when they talked about a certain woman similar to someone he’d met.“Hey have you seen the girl who lives in room-- gosh! I don’t know… I don’t remember the room number. She is very gorgeous and pretty though.” One man compliment to the other.“I know right, but I bet she is not from around here.” The second man replies.“Yeah Gabe, I know. I like her voice and the way she walks… it’s so-- pleasant.” The first man commented with a dreamy smile on his lips. From the corner, just few rooms from them. Freddy glared at both men. He hated the way an
“From him?” I got confused by her answer. Who is this him she is talking about, my, my I need to be more sociable.“Yes from him- forget it you won’t understand. He promised to send me one last month so he sent two this month to make up for last month. It’s how we say sorry to each other.” Janet spoke in a dreamlike manner. She is sure in her own fantasy ‘weird roommate’“Are you a foreign student?” I changed the topic, I think I was done listening to her weird love tales. If I want to be friends with her I need to know who she is and what she’s capable of.“Not really.” Janet shrugged and kept patting this parcel she was yet to reveal. Not that I want to know what is in there but we are humans and humans get curious ‘Lorena do not try to peep into the parcel’ I warn myself.“Not really?” I repeated her question.“Yeah I am sort of in between
We both entered the luca carrier as Linda calls it. From my thoughts and slight fear for elevators I expected the old fashioned thing to fall off, hang or do something out of this world, but I can’t believe it actually worked perfectly. My percentage for trusting this thing was very low that I was very positive it won’t be able to carry both Linda and I, much less carry much weight like my heavy bags. But- but it proved me wrong and carried us to the third floor without any problems and for the first time my phobia didn’t embarrass me.Linda opened the skeleton door for us and gave me some room to push my trolley out. I quietly followed Linda through the narrow hallway but I wasn’t sure when we will ever stop with this large door to door rooms and unending hallways, then I chose to start a conversation so as not to make things more weird.“Um Linda, can the luca carrier be also used as an elevator? Um- just in case we need some lifting asi
It looked like no one was coming so I decided to head back to the taxi but a brown hair woman was approaching me already. I waited for her to come closer still not letting my guard down.She smiled when she got closer extending her hand to me when she was in reach.
The embarrassment I faced with the flight attendant back there compels me to hide my face throughout the whole day. It was the first time I ever took a flight anywhere, acting paranoid could be an effect of a phobia I guess, turning back was no option. I have come
Finally, my dream to travel out of the country has become a reality. Not just to travel anywhere but outside this continent. No longer will I have to face Dupe and Dara for money issues, those girls made a laughing stock of me each time I innocently as
"No I'm not." I told her bluntly. I was not going to be the devil's workshop in some sort of conspiracy because I wanted to stay in another man's country."Lorena I know you want this, look at this as a grand opportunity, stop fighting it.""How could you be so impossible, you yoursel
