I could not conceive that Irma would go away and leave me here alone among my many sisters, she was the only one I really got along with, we were only one year apart and soon I would be alone here.
me: Irma, please don't leave me here alone, refuse the proposal we want to make you.
her: Dina you know it so well that I couldn't even if I wanted to daddy would kill me and who knows maybe this is my prince charming.
me: how could he be your prince charming if you don't know him
her: you don't necessarily have to know your prince charming you know usually a prince charming is the one you don't even know
me: yeah, right
her: but don't pout
me: I'm not sulking, don't worry, get ready for your Prince Charming, I say as I leave
her: ohhh Dina I'll always be close to you there in your heart uh?
me: uh
HOURS LATER
Dad's guests had already arrived we had not seen them but we were waiting for voices in the living room. Irma was finishing dressing and the result was quite good.
She: tell me how do you find me?
me: very pretty, beautiful, splendid
she: thank you Dina, you are pretty too
me: no need to lie to me Irma I am not beautiful because I have not done anything to be so
she: yes but you are beautiful naturally you don't need all these things
me: you are nice....
????: knock knock
me: who is this?
???: Amir. daddy asks Irma to come down
me: ok thanks Amir
Amir is one of my 5 brothers, well one of them is still at home, the others are married we like weddings so much
Amir: nothing. But he asked Irma to come down alone you stay here
Me: Oh, okay.
Irma went down to the living room and I decided to go to the balcony to observe subtly what was happening there.
Moab Sankara
My name is Moab, I am 29 years old and I am of American origin, my father is American and my mother is Senegalese. I live in the United States, but at the moment I am in Senegal to visit my mother's family at my mother's insistence.
On this day I am accompanying my friend Amir to the house of his future wife. And now we have to enter the house
Amir: am I presentable I mean.........beau..........canon.......bref well dressed eh?
Me: yeah you are presentable
Amir: just presentable?
Me: Yeah, you could have done better
Him: then let's go back so I can get dressed
I was amused by his reaction it was an arranged marriage but he still wanted his future to find him ....
wow
Me: you don't have to, you know, you're fine like that man, I say smiling.
Him: you don't lie to me uh
Me: no, don't worry
Him: ok, let's go then
Me: I follow you I say opening my car door
=====================================================================
We were now sitting in the living room of his future or should I say in the living room of the parents of his future wife. We waited a few minutes and then a young girl with black skin, quite pretty, and very well dressed I looked at my friend to see his expression and guess if he liked this girl or not then I looked at him but I did not see what I expected.
Me: what's the matter??? I said while patting him.
Him: nothing but I expected something else she looks a little materialistic
Me: Tsu Tsu we don't judge people just like that
Him: ok, let's wait and see
The famous girl had finally come down the stairs and was now close to us.
Mr.mocktar: Irma has come to say good evening to Mr. Amir your future husband and his friend Moab
She: Good evening Amir, good evening Moab she said smiling shyly
We: Good evening
The talks started between Amir and Irma's parents because yes Amir's parents were present too. While the discussions continued I was looking at the surroundings of the house when my eyes landed on a balcony overlooking the living room I thought I saw the shadow of a person, at least something glance quickly and then quickly lowered, I continued to look at this place when I saw it was a girl oh God knows how beautiful she was, our eyes met and when she saw me she made a dazed smile then a small wave of the hand and then turned around and ran to go.
Who was she and why hadn't she come to meet us like everyone else
I felt something so special in my heart
I would like to meet her she looks so entertaining
???: hey oh Moab what are you looking at so???
Me: uh nothing you were talking to me???
Amir: no I was just telling you that I'm thinking of refusing this marriage
Me: but why?
Him: I don't know but I don't feel like this marriage
Me: Think again.
Him: Okay.
