…..The pair left the building and got into the car which started right away….. "Boy I invited Cindy to dinner with me tonight and I would like you to come." Said Frederic. Zed folded his newspaper "It's great, but I have no plans to go out today." he said "What are you talking about? It's the weekend and you prefer to stay here reading the newspapers? Honestly, you have to find something better." exclaimed Frederic "Okay as long as you pay for the evening." said Zed "Don't worry, I manage." Frederic said "Okay that's good I agree," Zed relented. After some preparations, they left the hotel.... The restaurant was populated by a few couples. Vania and Kalvin offered themselves a table a little further away. "Welcome Sir and Lady" said the servant. "I present to you the menu of the day." "Thank you," Kalvin said, taking the menu. He skimmed it. "I want the shrimp noodles as well as the braised fish." he said "Okay, what about you ma'am?" Asked the servant to Vania.
….She hadn’t finished talking when it cut off… the phone went off for lack of energy… "File !" exclaimed Frederic. Annoyed, he took off his jacket and went to take a shower…. Vania put her phone down in emotion. "Wasn't that him?" Asked her sister. "Yes it was his friend, he says he's so drunk he passed out." answered Vania "My God! Big sister you should rest, you're in really bad shape." said her sister "I don't know what to do. This Kalvin screwed me up." said Vania As she spoke her phone rang. She thought for a moment that it was Frederic…but no, it was Kalvin. "Oh there he is calling me" Vania grumbled, "I don't want to talk to him. Pick up and tell him I'm asleep." exclaimed Vania Then the sister shot. "Vana, how are you?" Fit Kalvin "Hi Kalvin, Vania is already asleep, you can call her back tomorrow," her sister replied. "Okay please tell her that I have to give her an important document, she will understand." said Kalvin "Okay, I won't miss it." said th
…Then the headmaster slipped away. "Zed honey I think you're ready!" said Vania "I was born ready for this job" said Zed "Hum the show-off! Ok." exclaimed Vania A few moments later, they went to the set. Great was Vania's surprise to find that one of the guests was actually Kalvin's father. Zed didn't know and Vania preferred not to tell him. After everyone was installed, the clock was started for the show to begin. “Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your attention to our media,” says Vania, "It's time for your political program that you like. Today we are receiving two guests from different political parties who will have to explain to us the political assets to advance the country. Of course, I am not the only presenter, I have with me Mr. Zed who is our guest journalist and who will have to arbitrate this political dialogue with a few questions. Mr. Zed you have the floor." she says "Thank you very much, Mrs. Vania, it is a real pleasure for me to lead this dialogue
….Wet with tears Vania was lying down. Then someone knocked on the door. "Open to me, it's daddy!" Said a voice from the other side of the door. She went to open. "Oh my darling daughter what's bothering you are you sick?" asked the father. "Nothing dad just my head hurts," replied Vania "Then I'm taking you to the doctor." said Vania's father "It's not worth it. It will pass." said Vania "Good. I came to inform you that tonight we will be going to Kalvin's house for a meeting with his father." said Vania's father "It's his father who wants me here?" asked Vania "Yes. And he insisted." answered Vania's father "Okay dad." she says "Good. I brought you a present," said the father. "What ?" asked Vania curiously. The father reached into his pocket and pulled out a small brown box "What is this ?" Vania asked curiously. "Close your eyes," said the father. Vania complied. The father opened the little box and took out a gold necklace which he tied around Vania's
…..Zed thought about his situation. He was rewinding his journey from the time he had packed his bags to go on vacation…. He didn't dare lug his thoughts about the masquerade with his uncle's wife. “Why is all this happening to me? He wondered “lost in thought, his phone rang, it was an unknown number, he hesitated for a fraction of a second before picking up with a heavy heart. "Hello !" He said in a disconcerted tone. "Hi Zed, sorry if I'm disturbing you but it's imperative that I talk to you." Said the voice of a woman from the other end of the line. Zed was rummaging through his memory of who the voice could be??? It didn't take long for him to guess... "#Yamine?" he confessed. "Yes Zed." replied the voice Yamine is an editor of a political magazine and host of a political show at the media house where Zed worked before his dismissal…. "Okay what do you want to talk about?" asked Zed "It's strictly confidential, Zed, can we meet tomorrow?" replied Yamine "You k
…The next day, Zed had told Frédéric about his conversation with Yamine. "But what does she have to tell you that's so important?" Asked Frederic "I do not know yet." answered Zed "Hmm maybe she wants to flirt with you, eh, I would like a girl who flirts with me, it will make my job easier, I'm tired of chasing after them", commented Frédéric. "You're definitely not going to change my dear, I don't think what she has to say to me is sentimental given the tone in which she spoke to me on the phone." said Zed While they were talking, Zed's phone rang, it was Yamine. "Oh it's her!" Zed sighed. "Hi Yamine." he said after picking up "Hi Zed, how are you?" replied Yamine "Yes and you ?" replied Zed "Not bad. I just want to confirm the appointment today." said Yamine "Okay I told you I'll be there. Can I come with a friend?" asked Zed "Who's that Frederic?" replied Yamine "Hmm yes." answered Zed "No! It's confidential what I have to tell you." objected Yamine "All
….Vania slept soundly. She had a dream in which she saw herself running holding a little girl of barely 5 years old in her hand. A monstrous man was in pursuit. She cried out for help but no one came. The monstrous man was about to pounce on her when she let out a scream as she woke up. She was dripping with perspiration. She got out of bed, heart pounding, poured herself a glass of water. When she put the glass down, someone knocked on the door. She went to open. It was his mother and she was dressed in red pajamas…. Suddenly Vania felt nauseous again. She ran quickly into the bathroom. "But my daughter, what's wrong? I heard you scream," her mother asked. "It's alright mum it was just a nightmare." answered Vania "And why are you vomiting?" replied her mother "Something I can't stomach but it's ok. Please mum you can go to bed we'll talk about it in the morning." answered Vania "Okay, go see the doctor tomorrow, it's safer." said her mother "It'll be okay mom. I
…..Vania wanted to dissuade them but her parents were categorical. As soon as they decided, everyone set off for the hospital….. That evening, Zed had made the decision to open the sentencing case. He put it on the table and eyed it quizzically. “What could it possibly contain? was a question that only opening the case should answer. Between the curiosity to know what the famous file contained and the fear of knowing the truth, he was anxious. He pulled out the drawer, put the folder back and took a walk outside……. The hospital was staffed with nurses and patients. Vania and her parents were in the doctor's office. Vania had taken the trouble to tell the doctor what was happening to her. "How long have you noticed these symptoms?" Asked the doctor. "I don't remember exactly sir," replied Vania. "Okay I just need to do some tests for you to make a diagnosis." said the doctor "Doctor do the needful," said the father. 'Don't worry sir, I'll take care of her,' replied the
Kalvin wanted to retort, but he restrained himself. He was baffled by Vania's behavior. "You've been acting weird since we've been together," he said concernedly. "I don't know what's happening to me, please don't blame me," Vania pleaded with tears in her eyes. "Are you going crazy or what? What are you doing?" Kalvin thundered, frustrated by Vania's attitude. Vania was whimpering, as if she was the one who had been slapped. Kalvin decided to let it go, realizing he had to seek understanding rather than get angry. On election day, the whole country was immersed in palpable excitement and filled with anticipation. Among the many candidates vying for the legislative elections, there was a particular presence: the father of Kalvin, a respected and committed man, as well as the father of Vania, a charismatic and influential figure. The eyes of the nation were riveted on their respective political courses, as the fateful hour approached. The citizens, captivated by the democrat
…..Zed didn't flinch because he had already seen the “file”. When Frédéric finished reading the letter, he asked to see the photos. There were 5 photos all taken close-up. The first showed 4 men in jackets in front of parliament. On the back of the photo it was mentioned: "Minister of finance on the right and his cabinet colleagues" Zed was surprised to recognize a man among the 4. Yes, his silhouette imposed itself in his memory as if he had known for a long time . He thought until he figured out who it was. "Old man, I think I recognize this man," he informed Frederic. The latter frowned. "Are you sure? Who it is?" he asked curiously. "Yes very sure. He is Kalvin's father I still remember him the day of the political show with Vania." answered Zed "You mean you've even talked to him before?" Frederic asked curiously. "Yes, by chance, he was the guest that day." said Zed "Interesting. I wonder how this Yamine could come up with that!" Frederic said "She has connect
