When Ali revealed the news of the upcoming marriage between Evelyn and Saaid
the festivities became even greater for those who were unaware of the
situation. People began to chant congratulations but as this was happening
someone began to speak.
"Hold on there, I think there are a few things i should say..." Rick broke
in trying to keep calm.
However because of the joy felt by the rest, especially Ali, Rick was cut
off. Ali began to embrace his niece who was so shocked that she was unable
to speak. Ali finally let go of her and brought her next to Saaid who was
equally as happy as the uncle. Ali began to gesture for the couple to hug at
which point, Rick's eyes widened and he shouted.
"Get your hands off my wife, buddy!!!!! and wipe that ugly smile off your
face"
The room went silent as these words came out of Rick's mouth. The silence
became unbreakable for a few seconds until finally Evelyn was able to
compose herself and angrily she began to speak to her uncle.
"Uncle Ali, we need to talk. I was planning to speak to you after the
wedding but it now can't wait."
"Yes, from what i just heard, it seems necessary," said Ali now having lost
all the joy that he seemed to have moments earlier.
The three left, first Ali followed by Evy and Rick. All who filled the room
watched as the three left to have the "serious" conversation. Once away from
the rest Ali burst out yelling.
"What is this? Is this true? Have you gone off and married this...this man?"
"Uncle Ali, everything happened so fast. Rick and I were waiting for the
appropriate time to tell you, but with the celebrations it became best for
us to delay the news until all was calm."
At this point Evelyn's tone changed as did the subject.
"Now, I want to know what gave you the right to give me off to one of your
friends like I was cattle?"
"What gives me the idea?!!!!Why, I am your uncle. Your mother's only brother
and you know very well that it is my duty to provide for you and your
brother as if you were my own children. It was not done in the way implied
by you, cattle i would never treat my family in such a manner. My reasons
were that I could not see you wasting your life in books, and nonsense which
the westerners get themselves involved in." Ali was now very passionate in
his speech.
"Uncle do you forget that I am a westerner myself. I was never raised with
your customs and even if i was i would not let myself be treated in such
manner."
"So you chose this instead. A stranger, that will cause you to distance
yourself from us. I wanted to bring you back to your roots, to our roots,
your mother's and mine. For you to marry an honest and hard working man."
"And what makes you think that Rick isn't any of those things. You hardly
know him."
"From what i have heard neither do you. What can he offer you?"
The conversation between Ali and Evelyn was now to the extremity of tense.
Being aware of this caused Rick to break the silence which he had kept
throughout the whole battle. He also wanted to speak on his behalf and to
convince Ali of his love for Evy.
"I think i can answer that. I may not be what you wanted for your niece but
i swear to you that i will do anything to make her happy. I will even give
up my life doing so because i can't live without her and her love." Rick was
once now cut off by Ali, who felt he had some oppositions to what Rick had
just said.
"Love? Ha! You know nothing of love. Love grows with time. How will you take
care of her, with your love? Please!!!!!" Ali spoke sarcastically with anger
in his tone. "Now, what will I say to Saaid's family. I will be treated like
a fool for not being able to give what i have offered."
This time it was Evelyn who cut Ali off.
"And that is your fault for offering things that are not yours to offer. You
have no right to treat women this way. And don't say that it is a westerners
way of thinking because i learned that from my mum, who fought for freedom
as a woman and for the love of my father. I would have thought that by now
family had become more important to you than customs. I think you should
apologize for trying to treat me as an object that could be handed off to
your friends." Evelyn was very serious and hurt by what he uncle had done.
"ME. Apologize to a woman. I would never reduce myself to such a point, not
even for you." Ali was very serious in his declaration and determined to
keep to his customs even if it meant losing the love of his niece.
"Well, then I guess you have made your choice. Rick let's go. Good-bye uncle
Ali. I hope that someday you change and realize that women are not objects
and that family is more important than customs and what other think."
Rick had not spoken through the argument because he felt that it was better
for them to resolve this dispute that seemed to go back to the times of
Evelyn's mother and father's reunion. He and Evelyn quickly left Ali to
solitude in his office. They gathered their things and made their way
through the living room, which was the large area where the celebrations
were being held, to leave Ali's home. However as they made their way out a
familiar voice spoke to them.
"Evy, Rick wait!!!!!"
The voice belonged to Jonathan, who had now lost his anger and had realized
all that had occurred in the room by the look on his sister's and Rick's
faces. He went to them.
"Old mum, Rick i'm sorry for being so cold with both of you. and i hope that
you are both really happy together, I mean i know that you will because of
the love that you both share even though i dislike seeing you all lovey
dovey." He completely meant those words and the last were said in his usual
manner of jokester.
"Oh, Jonathan!Thank you, I'm sorry for having kept this from you," said
Evelyn feeling touched at the words that she had heard from her brother, she
would have added something about the last words but let them slide.
"Yeah, I'm sorry too," added Rick.
The siblings embraced and Jonathan agreed to leave with them. They soon left
Ali's home never to return again because they knew that he would never
change and that they would not either. With that the three heroes who had
changed their destiny in Hamunaptra trailed off to continue with their
destiny one filled with love, surprises and more.
