INAYA -How do girls usually react when meeting an old love rival?I only had one clear love rival in my long life of 27 years old whose name is Lydia khoujali so I'm really inexperienced in the field.Actually, after a throughout thinking, I remember having, in fact, another love rival in the past whose name I don't recall but who gave me a bit of a hard time, I have met this troubling person not with Hamza but with my ex-boyfriend Azziz.This happened during my first year in college, in the period when he and I still haven't officially started to go out together yet.Azziz was such an extrovert, your typical flamboyant man on the edge who led every protestation that the students ever had, who made encouraging and revolutionary speeches in public and who gave his surrounding motivation even when only trying to throw a joke, he naturally had a whole club of female students fangirling him although he wasn't much of a handsome man.. rather standing out too much for a female heart to miss
INAYA -For a moment, may Allah forgive me, I thought he was talking about me, it was exactly like that feeling in school when a teacher is scolding a student with a loud voice and hurtful words, although the teacher isn't directing his words at you the crawling fear and the uncomfortable feeling still haunts you.But my mother-in-law's scornful words confirmed to me that " yes... That which was truly kicked out of the house!""Hamza! How... How dare you!!" The old lady yelled at the top of her lungs.At this point, the shocked look on Lydia's face was priceless... It was so big of an event that even Ines and Mr belguassem left the breakfast table and came towards us at the bottom of the stairs."Hamza... How could you?" Lydia called his name with a broken voice, This time round... it was a real broken voice.You see, since that man always treats me humanly I always forget how ruthless and heartless he is, well... Actually he's been ruthless with me before, that man.He looked at his m
INAYA- I noticed something strange while working in the office lately, for some unknown reason my coworkers started to behave differently with me, for example, they would suggest doing the reports on my behalf, they greeted me more often, and chatted for longer than usual... As for the topics they spoke about, the topic of marriage was dominant. Like mentioned in the passing that having a powerful husband is a blessing, or it's a must for a family to have someone who is knowledgeable in the laws of countries.That day, some female coworker even shamelessly offered while handing me the folder I should examine,"Inaya, if you need my help with anything then don't hesitate to ask me... In the future, if I wanted to visit to France you must not hesitate to have me stay at your house as well""why would I have a house in France in the future?" I asked feeling uncomfortable and confused.She looked at me as if I was acting silly to hide my mischief and she replied,"and where else would yo
After a long time, I finally succeeded in pushing him away from me so I asked before I get interrupted by him,"Don't tell me you asked me to come to your office just to do this?"My mouth was soon sealed by him for another long time, when he finally was satisfied he withdrew himself and replied while looking intensely at me,"Actually I didn't call you for this but I sure will in the future, I wanted to let you know that I will be going on an urgent business trip to G country... I'm not sure how many days it will take yet, I'll be heading to the airport in 2 hours"I hugged his neck and as I looked into his eyes and said,"I will miss you"And that, ladies and gentlemen, was an epic moment in my husband's life.I didn't notice that I had never said this to him before, actually, it wasn't until I saw the surprised and gentle expression on his face that I realized that the best confession this man had ever heard from me was, "Hamza... I don't hate you anymore!"He wasn't the only emotio
INAYA-While standing in the long corridor out of Ines's room, I slowly stopped thinking about Azziz, and I started thinking about my husband.I tried to predict his reaction when knowing that my ex was coming back to my life again and that he was Ines's boyfriend instead, It sure wouldn't be so pleasant. The last time I met Azziz he merely spotted the both of us walking out of a restaurant together still the outcome was severe, now that this long ex-boyfriend of mine is about to have deeper roots in our lives I bet Hamza will turn into his monstrous self and ravage everything in his way, still no matter what would result from my actions... I had to personally let him know of what was happening inside his family in his absence, otherwise, my sun will rise from the west if he knew about this from some other source.I decided to call him.I took a deep breath... And I dialed his number after reflexively looking in Ines's room direction to see if anyone was coming out of there. Although
The point is that I realized I made some small companies go bankrupt because I interfered in a crucial moment and for some different slot their stocks hit the bottom like a vertical arrow... Of course, this is what I understood.Anyways I was thinking about this possibility happening again when I tried to call Hamza in the long corridor when my call wasn't picked up on the first try... I decided to stop bothering his important work and just call again later.It so happened that when I was still in the corridor thinking about what I should do next my mother-in-law walked out from Ines's room to find me there, she commented right away,"why are you still here? I thought you had an urgent matter to do... Otherwise what can be more important than giving your opinion about your sister's marriage?""I was coming back to speak with Nana about my urgent matter, I need her help" I lied with a straight face.Although she didn't buy my words, she still cheerfully said,"well, make sure you finis
"it all feels so fishy... I'm not sure what he exactly told your family about me, they are implying that my only relationship with him is that we were college mates, should I__""I don't like this" he suddenly interrupted me...He paused for a bit before adding:"I'll wrap up everything here and head back to see about it, tonight I'll trust you dealing with him alone... I should go back to the meeting now.""ok... Bye," I said displeased.And then I hang up right afterward.I honestly expected more drama from Hamza, as he would yell: "How dare your ex to ask the hand of my sister! Is he planning to keep you both close to him! Buy one and get an extra one for free!" or "Inaya... Did you and your ex plot for this? Are you both planning to take the money of Filladi co and run away together afterward?"To my total disappointment, he dealt with this matter as if the man who was about to marry his sister was just an average person and he asked me to report everything about him just because
INAYA -"Long time no see Inaya, How have you been?" Azziz greeted me with a smile.He extended his hand to shake mine, so I immediately reminded him,"I don't shake hands with strange men""oh really?" He chuckled smugly.That brat!I only held his hand twice in a 3-year-long relationship, The first time was when that stingy man decided to buy me a bracelet as a present for my birthday, I gave him my hand to let him put it for me... What was the most romantic moment of our relationship, was remembered was a smugly chuckle by that brat.As for the second time we held hands, was when we went hiking on a mountain on a college trip, when we were ascending the mountain I was a few steps behind the group, so I tried to speed up a bit, and that is when my foot slipped and I fell from a small cliff... Although I landed safely I still found it hard to stand on my painful twisted ankle, not to mention that I started freakng out from the pain I felt, Azziz helped support me when I walked back t
Ines Filladi always knew that she should never marry a man that she liked more than he liked her because her brother's failing marriage gave her the trauma of her life.There isn't a single person in the Filladi's close circle of acquaintances who failed to notice how infatuated Hamza is with his wife, whenever Inaya was in his surrounding, his eyes would always carefully watch her every little movement, if he was spotted spacing out while looking at something in the far distance, it was unnecessary to curiously follow his gaze and see what he was looking at since most certainly, a little sun-kissed woman with a long dark hair would be standing at that faraway spot.Since everyone could tell, and even those who poorly knew Hamza, how come Inaya still had no idea and acted indifferent toward him?? Ines found only one explanation for this: that Inaya truly had not a single emotion nor care for Hamza, therefore, he was only wasting his life on an undeserving woman.She remembers clearly
Hamza is still a man who is hard to read.For example, I thought he was totally ok with my father-in-law keeping Ayoub in his care, however, when our cars coming from the hospital finally reached the villa, he suddenly refused to let my father-in-law have Ayoub for a moment longer, like the very instant our car stopped he calmly walked out without even throwing any sort of remark to me, because usually, he would bossily give orders like, "Inaya, wait here." "Wait for me to come back." "Stay in the car".So yes, he just forgot about me, he walked out and directly headed towards his father's car, personally opened his father's seat door, held the baby in his arms, and as he was about to walk away he remembered to look back at the dumbfounded old man left behind and say, "thank you."What he probably meant was, "your time is up, now I'm taking my son back."While looking at him I initially thought the reason he so suddenly decided to make Mr buelguassem's face turn red with anger, is
Life is very unpredictable.For example, that night... my husband hugged me and I went to sleep.When I opened my eyes the next time, I found my husband still sleeping beside me and circling his arms around me, there was a little difference though. We were not in our room, we were on a hospital bed instead.There was an IV drip connected to my arm, looking on top of my head, I saw the saline bottle hanging on the stand.The first thought I had was that my baby was gone, but before I even started to panic, I felt the baby's movement in my belly so I breathed in relief, as long as he still moved it meant that everything was fine.I made a little movement as I checked on the baby, and that was enough to wake Hamza up...The moment he opened his eyes, he quickly uncircled his arms from around me and leaned on them to lift his torso and look at me.When he saw that I was wide awake and blinking my eyes in confusion while staring at him he didn't wait for the slightest moment before his lip
How does it feel to know that your son won't probably come to life?Let's just skip this part and more practically ask, What to do to cope with the fact you know your son won't probably come to life?1- at all costs, avoid looking at baby products...Because their sight will unnecessarily break your heart to pieces, and bring tears to your eyes, so if for example you were randomly watching TV and diaper ads suddenly jumped on the screen from nowhere then you have to immediately change the channel or turn the TV off, if you have your husband sitting with you then you can depend on him in catching the remote control in the speed of light and using it to make the ad disappear, because usually when such sad ads show up... Your pregnancy hormones act quicker than your reflexes and you might need the help of someone else because you'll be busy having your heart aching.I'm someone who is a TV addict, by TV addict I precisely mean that I don't necessarily like watching a certain category of
A day passed... Then two...A week... Then two...Months followed and my child still lived!I must say this child sure inherited all Hamza's genes and neglected mine, otherwise, how come when literally there was no hope left he still survived?I guarantee you, when I give birth to this little devil, he would come out silently, Then start inspecting his surrounding without crying, and would only gaze at the nurse coldly waiting for her to cover him with clothes, I suppose his father did the same thing as well.The child is a boy... If I should define his gender, a very stubborn and willful boy to be precise, for example when a second doctor was doing my ultrasound after reading my file and coming to know how terrible my condition always was, with a very surprised face she informed us, "the fetus is developing in the norms."When I smiled and thanked her for reassuring us, she repeated as if we didn't hear her the first time, "his growth is normal, he's normal in size, and there are no
Spending time at the hospital alone for the majority of the time was truly a chance for me to appreciate all I had.Of course, there were always nurses by my side and doctors... The family visited as well, even my mother-in-law put on her most elegant of clothes and jewelry and then came to visit me, since no outsider knew about my pregnancy the possibility of her coming to see me only to put a facade in front of her acquaintances was disqualified, in fact, by coming to see me she was, on the contrary creating trouble for herself if she were ever to be caught by someone she knew, yet she made all the effort only to stand at the top of my head and scald me, "Did you have to fight with your husband while being pregnant and send your self to the hospital? I understand your temper is very short but you have to be more patient now! If you two can't stay in the same room without quarreling then you should have occupied separate rooms! Etc."Even my father-in-law decided to put an end to his
When I first discovered I was pregnant for the second time, no matter what everyone said, I truly believed this was the miracle of my life.So one night when I was about to go to sleep, I looked at my husband who naturally was still working as if working like he had no tomorrow would win him a ticket to paradise.Anyways after scalding him and expressing how much I hated his habit of always preferring the sight of papers instead of enjoying his rest time with me, his highness was forced to turn off his laptop and come lie beside me on to the bed to accompany me to sleep.Being me, I quickly buried myself in his warmth while asking, "don't you think it's better this way? Being with me instead of restlessly working? There's no point in building an empire on earth if you'd neglect what should be treasured more than money.""I'm trying to solve a few matters beforehand because I will have to spend more time watching over you from now on." He explained calmly...Although his explanation co
Hamza developed a new habit, of being extra rude to people.This man is, with no exaggeration whatsoever, one of the least sociable of people I ever met, for example once when we visited a certain farm with his family, and we found a lot of guests there, it was only natural and awaited from us to blend in among the rest of the guests.Still, this very arrogant person only spoke with a limited list of people, and it was mainly to them that I was introduced, as for the rest of the guests who by the way were overly welcoming, they were facelessly ignored.At first, I thought Hamza is one of those people who treat others according to their class and money, which is indirectly offending to me because I'm not someone who was born in a castle, it was inevitable to think "what if this man didn't blindly fall for me, would I be belittled and ignored this way?".But as I walked more around in his company I finally realized the people he spoke with belonged to only 2 categories,1- his business
How was it like to be pregnant alone for the first time?1. I discovered I was pregnant around the seventh week.I was very busy with work around that time to care for myself, I only suspected I was pregnant because I was feeling tired and nauseous most of the time and it was happening for a hell much longer to just assume I was nauseous because I ate bad food, I took the test one morning, and when it came out positive, I had no idea what to do or what to think, so I called my husband who was then at work, much not to my surprise though, it was his secretary who answered and said he was at an important meeting.I remember taking the day off after much trouble, then going to consult the gynecologist alone, where I was informed not only about my pregnancy but also about my particular case.I went back home soon after, then spent the whole day just sitting alone and staring at space, I wasn't happy that I was pregnant at all, in fact, I spent a long time only blaming myself for not takin
