Amr noticed
that people give his father a special treatment, and nicknames such as
"Sharif", "Maulana", etc. At the same time, why his Aunt
Fouzia, is "Aunt" only? And "The grocer Shaban " is "The
grocer" only?
If Maulana
walked in the street, everyone are going fast to kiss his hand. So that Amr
thought that it's a normal greet way,
trying it with him neighbor Sarah, then uncle Shaban.
The child Sarah
Received the matter sheepishly, but the Grocer Shocked.
- Forgiveness,
Maulana's son, please do not do it again, we, who should take the blessing from
you.
The boy
marveled most; what does "the
blessing" means? And why his family
has it only?
- "What?!
Do you kissed Shaban's hand?!"
The father
shouted when the son told him, then he calm down little, taking the hand of his
son to the lounge.
-What is this?
Dad asked while
pointing to the wall.
-Photos.
-For how?
-This is you,
and grandfather Mansor, and the big uncle Gamil.
-Gamal, Those
are Sheikhdom and
blessing owners, your grandparents. I has inherited this legacy of them, then subsequently moved to You,
so simply you are different, you are Maulana.
Father went,
leaving son in the his confusion.
***********
The child Amr
became teenager, Therefore as usual, his feelings went to "the daughter of
the neighbors" firstly.
The boy loved
Sarah, loved talk to her and looking to her. While they are playing "Hide
And Seek", he touched her hair, moving away quickly to the semi-dark
corner of AlSaha.
" I am
Here, Sarah, come if you could know where I'm".
Sarah Guessed his
place by following the sound, her arms moved here and there, groping her way.
When she
reached the corner, feeling a hot breaths on her face, and finding herself in
his arms, lifted Sarah tape from her eyes aghast. During Seconds, she left
crying.
Amr has scared;
Sarah will tell everyone now, How he would justify this sin? And what about his
family? What about Maulana? How to face
them?
He ran to his
room, closing the door on himself, and the same thing with the window, then sat
beside her to hearing; his house is located
directly in front of the Sarah's house.
He heard her
crying, and describing what happened, then the sound of the slap.
The boy did not
understand, there is something illogical.
Amr continued,
more concentration, and shocked because that what he heard is true. Sarah
screamed, Swearing she is honest.
without doubt she
has received a slap in the face, he do not understand how? Or why? But this is
what happened.
- Enough, girl,
the son of Maulana does not doing it.
The voice of
her dad said.
The boy felt
down; when he was a child, he did not understand the meaning of word
"Maulana", but he did now, by the hardest way.
After what
happened, How to be a man, take responsibility for what he did? How to be
Maulana.
Amr decided to
admit, but to who?
- Maulana
directly?
-No way, It
will be suicide.
- his mom?
-No, He does not guarantee her reaction too.
-The second
wife of father? This is a good
compromise, she loves him as a son, and will know how to tell others.
The young went
to father's wife directly, telling her that they wronged Sarah, I actually
hugged her, when we were playing in Alsaha, then I tried..
Amr stopped,
when he felt a hand placed on his shoulder, making the boy shuddered , he knows
this touch, it's belongs to ..... Maulana.
But.. but he
surprised by his dad's quiet features.
- You accuses
yourself to save your friend! you are Maulana rightly.
- Dad, I tell
the truth, I really did.
-- Whatever you
said, I would not believe you, The small Maulana does not do it.
Father has not added another word, going to his room.
- Wait, Dad, I am ........
But sheikh Saleh did not wait,
The child screamed, reiterated, but in the end, no one heared a
voice except for.... Maulana's voice.
(The end)
