We were still in that house and all I had in mind was seeing that clown again she had managed to get a smile out of me.

Me: Mister Mocktar do you have another daughter?

He and his wife looked at each other.

Him: eh yes Dina my youngest have you ever met her?

Me: no, I only saw him once. Why isn't she here with us?

Him: that is to say that uh

??? : she was a bit busy in the kitchen she had just finished now Irma is going to go and call

It was the young girl's mother who had just spoken

Her: Irma is going to call Dina and tell her to come down and say hello to our guests

Irma: well I'll be back

The so-called Irma went to the stairs.

Me: uh could I know where the toilets are

The lady: yes my son it's just up there you turn right

Me: well thank you

I headed for the stairs I took them when I got there- high I waited for the voices and I got them followed they came from a room between open so I took a look and saw my clown.

Irma: ah Dina if you knew he's so handsome I can't wait to be his wife

Dina: ah good but what makes you so excited Irma you don't know him at least talk to him once at least you know what kind of person he is and.........

Irma: no Dina it's enough for me to know that he's American and that I'm going to live in America with him. good man or not all I want is to get married and be the first of the Malicks to go to America and live there ah my God thank you he's rich thank you

Dina: uh..... but Irma why say you all these things you have never been materialistic or like......that why this sudden change please don't think that way if you want to be with a man be with him first for what he is not for what he has please talk to him and see if after that he interests you or not don't let yourself be influenced by dad's decisions he is in your life act and it is you who will spend the rest t of your days with the latter so think carefully uh

Irma: you tell me not to let myself be influenced by dad's decisions but yet you accept them well he told you that you couldn't get married quite simply because you don't be chaste you listen to him but to me, you tell me not to let myself be influenced, Dina.....

Dina: I listen to him because he is right, I am ashamed of no longer being but you know it just like me that it is not my fault if what happened happened. I listen to him because if I'm in my head and my housework ends badly I couldn't turn to anyone and deep down I'd know it's because I didn't have my father's blessing. But as I said it starts above all from shame, every girl should find herself and remain pure for her husband, but I was not given that choice, you have it so you have the power to decide for your life dad will take into account your refusal.

Irma: I understood Dina but I want to marry this one he is so handsome, I like him

Dina: uh ok

Irma: now let's go downstairs dad wants you to come and greet the visitors

Dina: ok let's- y.

After that, I hurried downstairs and sat down next to Amir. A few minutes later my clown appeared I watched them get off her and her sister. Irma looked very confident but Dina looked away she was looking at her feet but what still caught my attention was her gait she had a beautiful smooth and stylish gait she was wearing a loincloth dress. She finally came to us.

Dina: good evening everyone she said simply making a bow as a sign of respect

Amir: good evening you are Irma's sister isn't it wow it shows you have a trait of resemblance you are both pretty. What is your name?

Dina: Dina my name is Dina and I thank you for your compliment, you're nice, she said politely

Amir: you're

welcome Dina: okay uh I'm leaving I'll be upstairs if you need me. I am delighted to have you all meet goodbye once said she turned and left

Mr. Mocktar : so what did you decide

Mr. Moussa: yes Amir what did you decide Amir

Amir: uh listen j I was interested in your daughter Irma but I'm not sure I want to join her sorry anymore.

Mr. Mocktar : it doesn't matter to have an arranged marriage, both parties have to agree as this is not the case it will be fine you are free to leave.

Amir: thank you very

much Mr.Mocktar: this says goodbye

Irma: but dad what are you doing I was really interested why do you accept this dishonor so easily

Mr.mocktar: Irma shut up he's not the only one man on earth you will have another proposal.

Irma: But that person won't be from America.

Amir: but I'm not from America Irma I'm African Senegalese and I've always lived here

Irma: oh well but I thought, I thought sorry sorry goodbye she said rushing to get away go.

Mr. Moussa: goodbye Mr.

Mocktar: goodbye

Me: goodbye

Then we went

I hope to see you again my clown.

Dina Malick

I had gone back to my room and I sincerely hoped that everything was going well downstairs for Irma even though I do not agree with her way of thinking I only want her happiness she is my sister the only one I get along with pretty well.

I was still looking out the window when i saw the visitors coming out of the house and heading for their car i was still watching them when the door opened and Irma was on the verge of tears.

Me: Irma but what's going on? What happens to you?

Her: Dina my dream just fell through he refused to unite with me do you realize that I'm not beautiful here uh?

Me: calm down you come sit

down Her: how could I calm down Dina I'm done you understand

Me: no you're not if this marriage proposal couldn't be made then it's that the good God has someone else in store for you and this one wasn't for you. So stop crying get up tell yourself you'll find better than that uh

Her: but Dina.....

Me: no listen to me sweetie everything will be fine it'll be fine, now we stop crying and we smile uh

Her: puff you annoy me why couldn't you let me cry in peace she said smiling weakly

Me: would you have liked me to make fun of your misfortune

Her: not at all I would have blamed you to death

Me: you see then let me worry about you you are the only sister I have left the only one who is still close to me so before daddy makes you go away from me let- me worry and take care of you my sweetie my Irma.

Her: it's nice you know Dina you're really nice and I'm sorry for not having listened to you.

Me: let's not talk about it anymore uh and if we were going to eat these guests didn't touch anything

Her: okay let's go

Moab Sankara

We were back now and I was in my thoughts everything I wanted it was to see this girl again and hear her little voice again even for a short time because I know that between her and me it will come to nothing if one day we get together.

Amir: hey what are you thinking??

Me: oh to nothing.... or if to something

Amir: tell me

Me: I was thinking about Mr. Moctar's daughter

Amir: who Irma if c it's because I dropped our wedding plans don't worry you heard her father she'll find another suitor so don't worry about her uh ?

Me: no it's not about her I'm talking about but about Dina. Although I found your way of refusing this marriage a bit aggressive

Amir: anyway what's up with Dina

Moi: how did you find it?

A mir: oh she was respectful, beautiful

Me: me I found her different, different from all the girls I had to meet she has this little something beyond her beauty, in addition to her she is nice, calm, thoughtful, she is not interested in money and ......

Amir: how do you know all this?

Me: my heart knew it from the moment I saw her and in addition I heard her and her sister.

Amir: wow apparently you're under the spell of little Dina wow who would have believed it

Me: yes I'll admit that yes but you know it Amir even if I wanted to we won't be able to have a future together so it's better don't get carried away

Amir: but maybe she could understand if she's so special as you say she'll accept you with your disease

Me: really you think?? Amir I am powerless....... Do you think a girl could agree to marry a man and look him in the eye for a lifetime. Sexuality is part of one of the bases of marriage and when a couple does not agree on this level it is always subject to discussions and tensions.

Amir: I'm really sorry my friend

Me: it's okay, don't worry

Amir: no, it's not okay, have you already consulted a doctor???

Me: I don't want to talk about it anymore...... not about this subject

Amir: ok how do you plan to do with Dina then??

Me: nothing absolutely nothing

Amir: you could ask for her hand and make her your wife

Me: her father will never accept haven't you noticed that he didn't even want her to come down

Amir: yes. But if I understood correctly, he's a man who loves money so offer him a good sum

Me: yeah but I wouldn't want to ruin this girl's future.........even if it's already ruined

Amir: what??

Me nothing. I'm going back to my country in two weeks

Amir: oh well I wanted to do the visa to come with you there do you think it will be easy for me to get it

Me: I don't know but I'll give you one help. I would like to see Dina again before I decide to do anything

Amir: and how are you going to do it, you know that we will surely not let her go out on her own, moreover with a man

Me: yes, so I will go back there -down Saturday and I will ask permission from his father

Amir: yes it is better
