Consequences
Disclaimer: once again not ours
The journey to Ramsic had been a quiet one. The town was only four hours
away from Cairo, but it felt longer due to the silence that had taken hold
of the travelers. In the car Rick and Jonathan sat in the back while Evy sat
up front with uncle Ali. They kept from making any stops because uncle Ali
wanted to get home "as soon as possible,"as he had said. He was a nice man,
but too stubborn and at times too demanding. The journey finally came to
its destination and the travelers were in a state of complete exhaustion.
It was now 12am and uncle Ali's family were all in bed for the night.
Leaving the guest only one choice which was bed as well.
"I guess we should all just make our way to bed. I gave the servants
directions towards preparing your rooms, but i had not guessed that we would
have a visitor, i will call her to make a room for Rick." said Ali with an
embarrassed look on his face.
"That's not necessary..."replied Rick a bit embarrassed himself and feeling
like an intruder.
"Of course it is. You are a guest and friend of my home. I must offer you
all the necessities to make you feel comfortable and at home," finished Ali
with a smile on his face.
"Uncle, really it is fine. Rick can bunk with Jonathan for the night. Its
too late to be calling on Latifah," added Evelyn to this non-stop politeness
between Rick and her uncle.
"How do you know it was Latifah who i was intending to call upon?" asked Ali
once again contented to see the way his niece knew his mind.
"Because she is the only one that you would wake at this time,"said Evy
smiling back at her uncle.
"Come my girl," he hugs her, "you're always so thoughtful, even as a little
girl you always were, even of the help."
Evelyn blushes a little at the way her uncle is treating her, especially in
front of Rick. Ali had always been very proud of his sister's
children,especially of Evy whom he was especially fond of.
"Rick, are you sure you do not want me to call on Latifah to make you a
room?" asked Ali while still half embracing Evy.
"Evy's right, i can sleep with Jonathan for tonight. It is too late to call
on someone," replied Rick half grinning at seeing the way Ali babied Evelyn.
"Then it is settled,"with this the sleeping conversation was finalized. Ali
gave Evelyn a kiss on the forehead and said his goodnights.
"Good Jadi. Allah Humana,"
"Uncle Ali, you know i don't like it when you call me that. Jadi is not my
name," said Evy semi angry that her uncle still tried to call her by a name
which she detested.
"Yes, but it is the name we wanted for you. We can talk about this tomorrow.
It is not proper for a lady to be up past this hour," Ali bringing his
patriarchal believes into the conversation.
"Yes, goodnight uncle Ali, Jonathan, Rick" with the mention of the last name
a blush came to her face.
She walked off and the three men departed, yet in one of their minds was
something else.
