57
The day after
Dina Malick
I was back home with my little baby, Neo was supposed to come back today because all this time it was Elena who was taking care of him, I was sorry to say that I had been a bad mother for this little boy, but I didn't have the strength to take care of him but now I was going to make up for it and educate my two children as long as I was alive.
I sat with my little Mika in my arms he was really cute he had Moab's lips and I liked it so much when I think that a few months ago I would have wanted to exchange him for Moab I am a little ashamed. If I had learned anything it is that no matter what we do, no matter how hard we fight to avoid a situation if something should happen to us it will happen to us, it was planned for a long time that Moab, my husband, my love should die, and it's not my fault, nor anyone else's, it's true we make our own choices, choices that sometimes lead us to perdition, or on a true path, but there is destiny or if I could say God's plan, if God has decided so nothing could change that. Today I didn't feel guilty anymore, I was happy, happy to have been the wife of this wonderful man, happy to have shared my life with him, happy to have given birth to his child, happy to educate our children.
I was alone at home for the moment because after Moab's mother had to come by, today in my eyes she was important, she had been there all this time without ever doing too much and I had already forgotten everything that had happened with her, all the insults that she had uttered towards me, we often say too good too stupid, I accepted to be stupid, but one thing is certain it's that at the slightest misunderstanding on her part I would move away without asking for my rest.
I clean my chest before breastfeeding my little boy, I was getting used to it little by little, there was a real connection between me and my child at that moment and it was moments that I am sure will remain engraved in my memory.
One week later
Amir Sow
Today was the reading of Moab's will because apparently he had written one, normally I would not have gone but his lawyer had also summoned me so we went, everyone was already present, Dina, Moab's mother, me, and Henry, Elena had stayed with the children at Dina's.
Lawyer: good morning to all, he said as he entered
We: good morning
Lawyer: everyone is here, so we will proceed to the reading of Mr. Sankara's will, so ..........
One hour later
The talks with the lawyer were over, Moab had obviously left all his property to Dina and his potential children, he had given a bank account to his mother who could feed her all her life, and to Henry, the company was left to Dina who gave it to Henry, to me he had left a letter to be given to me in which he told me that he knew from the beginning that I loved Dina and thanked me for never having tried anything for her separation, he had even given me the permission to put me with Dina if something happened to her, He had named me legal guardian of his children after Dina and had offered me a place to set up my own company. It was at that moment that I realized that our friendship had always been sincere, not because of what he left me but because of the trust he had put in me, He trusted me because he was leaving his wife and children in my hands, if he hadn't died so quickly then it would certainly have been different, Moab had always been thoughtful apparently he renewed his will as time went on. I had not shown this letter to anyone for fear that they would find out how I felt about Dinah.
??: Amir, I'm going home.
It was Dina
Me: Oh already, I can drop you off if you want
Her: No, no, that's not necessary, Henry will drop me off and pick up Elena at the same time.
Me: well, goodbye
Her: goodbye Amir, she says turning around
Me: uh Dina waits
Her: yes!
Me: Does it bother you that Moab appointed me as the legal guardian of your children after you?
She smiled at me then came close to me and took both my hands
She: no, not at all, why should it bother me, you were Moab's best friend and therefore one of the people he trusted the most, I trust you too you know, if Moab gave you this title it's because he knows that you will be a good father figure for the children. All I hope is that when you get married you will find a little time, just a little time to come and see us with your future wife
Me: I don't have any wedding plans
She: even if it happens in 10 years Amir, it will still happen. I say goodbye
Me: Yes indeed, goodbye
She took me in her arms before leaving for good
Me: I want to be with you but I know, I know it's too early.
Four years later
Dina Malick
Me: Neo, Mika stop right now
Neo: but mommy catch us
Me: I'm tired my son, besides it's you who drags your little brother into this mess
Mika: Mommy catch me
Me: My baby, don't you have pity on me? Ok, come on and I'll make you a nice meal
Neo: Oh you promise?
Me: yes I promise my loves
Four years had passed like a draught I was watching my little ones grow up with great speed, Neo was seven years old and Mika four, as for me I was 29 years old I was entering my thirties and I would soon be officially declared an old woman, my parents were now quite old but by the grace of God they were still alive, Henry and Elena had had a second child a beautiful little girl named Samantha, she was so migonne that I was jealous of her beauty Amir had opened his real estate agency in the room that Moab had given him until now he was not married and I wondered why, but each to his own life and each to his own choices.
This week I had to go to Senegal at my mother's request, apparently, she had to talk to me about something important and that required my travel, but since we were on vacation I would take this opportunity to show my children the country where I was born and raised. I had opened a restaurant that bore the family name of Moab, I found this a way to give work to some young immigrants, we formed a family and I liked that.
Two days later:
We had arrived in Senegal a day ago and I found my mother strange with me and my father, they normally played with the children but with me, it was a different story, maybe there was a problem I didn't know and I was going to ask my mother what was going on once the children were in bed.
