Chapter 3 03

The next day.

I wake up late in the day. I really slept a lot. I went to bed around 9pm and wake up around 1pm. My daughter is no longer with me. Which is weird since everyone is at work.

I get up with a start and look for her everywhere but I can't find her. No no no not my daughter. I have tears in my eyes. I am at the end of my rope. When I get to the kitchen I see a little sheet of paper and I take it and read it. And I fucking hate it. I had one of those fucking scares.

I'll take the landline and call Aicha. She answers me directly.

Aicha: Yep?

Me: Life I will kill you Aicha.

Aicha: What did I do now.

Me: You take my daughter without telling me.

Aicha: Calm down. You were sleeping, I didn't want to disturb you.

Me: I was going to fucking squeeze.

Aicha: Sorry! But I'll keep your daughter until Maher comes back.

Me: Aren't you working?

Aicha: No

Me: Mmh thanks

Aicha: Tks

I hang up relieved and go do my morning ritual. Even in the middle of the afternoon. Then I go to get dressed. Samy went to get some of my clothes. Then I go out to do my business in the other house. I find there guys of mine that I don't calculate at all frankly except Liam Julien Alex and Alan the rest I don't calculate.

Me: So any news?

Him: Yeah yeah. They managed to find the house your son is in and they're going to do something about it.

Me: Okay thanks.

I hope everything goes well... I'm scared but I'd rather not think about it right now. I'm going upstairs to do some business. Give the other guy something to work with around 7pm and I leave the office and go to the neighborhood. I give two three exchanges and from there you hear

THEY'RE HERE, THEY'RE HERE. Yeuuuu we all start to pack up quickly then you hear. NOT THEM, NOT THEM'. Ouaaaah the hatred he put me this dog.

Me: And you go and tell your friend that next time I'll fire him. Either he has the eye or he doesn't.

Him: Yeah. -he gets tall-

Me: You take this and go to ***** There is an exchange with the ***** Be careful because they are very clever. They're very good at forging money.

Him: Yeah.

Me: It's at 1:00.

Him: Okay.

Anyway I go on and all then I go to Aicha's to take my daughter. Mdddr she thought I was going to separate from her until Maher came back? Lol. When I get there I go in and go to the living room

Kais: Quiet?

Me: What about you? Did you get a call from Maher or not? I heard he went to action but no more news

Kais: So it went well. They are coming.

Me: -I'm smiling- Wow, I was scared. Where is my daughter?

Kais: Tkt! She is with Hiyam, your daughter.

Me: She loves him too much!

Kais: Harde mdddr

Me: Where is Aicha?

Kais: She's on the way!

Me: Okay, I'll be right back, I'm going

Kais: Yeah, are you taking your daughter?

Me: Yeah yeah

Kais: I told her you would take her back but okay.

Me: No, but let her be in her own world.

I get up and go to Hiyam's room. I give her a kiss and take my daughter.

Hiyam: See you auntie

Me: Kiss, sweetheart. AICHA I TOOK MY DAUGHTER TCHO

I leave the house, get into my car and go to Samy's house. When I get there I go in and sit with the others.

Reha: That was fast

Me: Mddr yeah

Reha: What did you do all day?

Me: A mafia day

Reha: Eh ha

Samy: Maher is coming you know?

Me: Yeah yeah

Reha: That's why she is smiling! Compared to yesterday

Me: Yeah well I'm hungry now and I want to go to sleep.

Reha: They're all in the kitchen

Me: Thanks

I'll go to the kitchen, eat and then I'll breastfeed my daughter and we'll go to sleep.

The next day.

I am woken up by my son. My son? I open my eyes and hug him tightly.

Me: My baby!

Chems: I missed you mom

Me: So you! -touches his face- Are you ok? Are you okay? We didn't hurt you?

Chems: No mom, it was so good

Then I see a scratch. I frown

Me: What's that?

Chems: Ouch, it's Moogli, he scratched me because I missed him!

Me: Suur?

Chems: I swear to you wAllahi!

Me: Mmh come give me a hug.

He picks me up and hugs me tight. We get up and go to the living room. Everyone is there. I say hello and go next to Maher. He kisses me on the temple.

Me: You have dark circles Maher...

Maher: I brought my son back and that's what matters most to me.

Me: Thank you.

Maher: Tkt.

Me: Did you get it?

Maher: We'll talk about that later.

Me: Mmmh

We talk with the others. I pick up my son and give him lots of kisses all over.

Chems: Eeeeh Mom

Me: I missed your race

Chems: Haaan big word

Me: Shuuut you mustn't say it again or daddy will cut your head off

Chems: Yes shuut

Me: Mdddr

In short we eat together then we move each one at home. When we get home I jump on Maher.

Maher: I missed you, admit it

Me: Not even

Maher: You know when you say 'not even' you're burned right away?

Me: Even...

Maher: Mdddr come here I missed you too

He pulls me towards him and kisses me. I answer him then you hear Chems go Beuuuurk

Maher: You go yuck, but you also give mom kisses

Chems: But you go yuck

Maher: Mdddr baby

Chems: I'm big!

Maher: Yeah sure

Chems: Mom, I'm big, right?

Me : Yes my son

Chems : You see mom she says so

Maher: Yes, yes.

Chems: I'll take Moogli

Me: Vazy but come back.

Chems: Yes mom - he leaves

Me: So?

Maher: No we didn't get it. -frowns his eyebrows- Get there. We saw Chems alone. I asked him where he was. He told me he went to the store and came back. I went to see if the cupboards were empty but they were not. All filled. I concluded that he had cut himself.

Me: Fuck it.

Maher: We're gonna get it right.

Me: Yeah but for now he's out there. Imagine him going after Chems again or even Azhar?

Maher: So he won't touch them anymore.

Me: I don't want them to attack my children, my family but I can't let go of this mafia too.

Maher: We will find a solution.

Me: Maher, seriously, I'm not an extra weight for you?

Maher: -frowns- Why do you say that?

Me: Well...

The ringing of my phone cuts me off. He answers, looks at me and looks away.

Maher: Yeah?
