Dina Malick                                                              Saturday Irma: Dina Dina......   Me: Irma what's up????   She: Have you seen my charger?   Me: no no where did you put it where did you see it last.   Her: I don't know.   Me: ok then I'll look in the living room and you in your room   She: Okay     I was looking for her charger and I couldn't find it   Her: it's ok I found it   Me: Oh okay   I was about to go back to my room when the doorbell rang and I hurried to open the door when I arrived I opened it and I was surprised to discover one of our guests from the other time.   Me: hello I say simply   Him: good morning Dina, that's it   Me: Yes sir, that's it. Uh, are you looking for my father?   Him: yes, I am. Is he here?   Me: No, sorry sir, I think he went to work but...   ????: Dina my daughter, who are you talking to?   Me: ah mom it's one of the gentlemen from the other day, he would like to see dad.   She: and why don't you let him in, it's not polite to leave your guests outside   Me: oh that's right. Excuse me, sir, sorry, come in.   Him: thank you, it's nothing   He came in and I invited him to sit down, I brought him some water and he thanked my mother who finally came out of the kitchen.   She: oh hello my son, sit down says he to the gentleman who got up when he saw her coming   Him: thank you   She: So what brings you back here Amir has he changed his mind   Him: no, sorry, I came for Dina   When I hear my name I quickly go back to him why was he here?   She: What do you mean my son, what's up with Dina?  By the way, Dina goes upstairs, I'll tell you to come down.   Dina: Ok mom, I say as I leave                                                                MOAB SANKARA   Me: I was wondering if she could..... well if you would permit me to go out with her today.   Her: her father will certainly not agree   Me: I know that but what I would like is just to get to know your daughter better. Don't worry madam I am not here to play with her I would like to get to know her better and then make her my wife.   She: are you serious? do you want to marry my daughter?   Me: yes I want to and I know that your husband will not agree but I  don't want to waste time, I'm old enough now.   Her: yes but Dina is not like all my other daughters   Me: I know it and I accept her as she is   Her: but how do you know?   Me: it doesn't matter so can you allow me to talk to her   Her: yes, but you have to come back before night, it is already 14:00   Me: well thank you She: it is I who thank you.                                                                             Dina Malick.   I was still in my room when my mother came home and she looked happy and I thought that it was because of the arrival of this man, maybe his friend wants to ask for Irma's hand in marriage, I don't know.   She: Dina   Me: mom   She: did you see the man in the living room?   I simply nodded my head   She: I want you to go out with him in town, talk to him and tell me in the evening what you thought of him what, okay?   Me: yes but why?   She: I'll tell you everything when the time comes, I have to talk to your father first, uh?   Me: uh   She: so get ready, make yourself beautiful uh she says before leaving   I wondered what was going on but it was my mom who told me to do it so I did it without flinching.   I choose a dress among my many loincloths, I was going to take a shower and I was finally ready when Irma entered the room.   She: Dina, mom said you had to go out with this man uh can I come?   Me: I don't know, I'll ask him   Her: ok, I'll get ready, she said before leaving   Me: but first I have to ask permission ...   She had already left, so I should tell this man that Irma would like to come with us. I went down the stairs to meet her.                                                                        Moab Sankara   I was fiddling with my phone while waiting for Dina when my attention was caught by the sound of footsteps. When I looked up I was amazed by this woman who has been haunting my thoughts for a few days now, she came down the stairs gracefully with her gentle gait and came towards me   Dina: uh sir sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, uh actually I wanted to ask you could Irma my sister come with us, she said she was bored so I......   She was silent and didn't continue her sentence I felt that it bothered her a little to ask me that because she made a gesture with her fingers to sign that she was nervous or even uncomfortable.   She: uh if it bothers you there's no problem it's true that it's not very polite to ask you that when we don't even  thatknow each other. But I admit that I would be reassured if she came with me not that I take you for a bad guy.........

Me: ok   She: uh?   Me: she can come with us   She: oh thank you I......will go call her thank you she said as she left   I watched her leave and one thing became increasingly clear to me........ I wanted her in my life, I wanted her for me........for me alone......even though I know she will suffer from this relationship. will I have absolutely nothing to offer him except.......my heart, but  it's not always enough, after all, I want to take the risk
