Chapter 53: Chapter 53

Dina started laughing before stopping and looking at me seriously, even I sound crazy.

Me: Dina what's going on?

Her: I'm laughing because you and your brother are trying to scare me but it's not going to work, last night Moab was fine we spent the evening together. I want to see him.

Me: Dina no

Her: Please, I want to see Moab.

I turned around and went to the doctor's office to ask him if we could see Moab, he gave us permission and we went in.

I entered first and I saw a sheet covering the body of a person, I was so afraid to lift the sheet, my God why?

Dina: Why did they cover him with that sheet?

She went and removed the sheet completely from Moab's body, it was really him, lying inert, Moab was really dead.

Dina: Moab please wake up, stop your jokes they don't make me laugh. Moab......Moab.......Moab, why doesn't he react, why doesn't he react Henry?

She put her head on Moab's chest and her expression changed, she understood that her husband was dead. Her eyes froze and she stopped moving, she sat down in the chair without crying, she stared at Moab's body without saying anything, it was too painful to see. I left the room and left him alone.

I took my phone out of my pocket and called Elena who was taking care of the kids.

Me: Elena

Her: I was waiting for your call, is Moab doing better?

Me: Elena

Her: Yes, tell me what's going on?

Me: Moab is gone, my brother is dead

Her: no no that's impossible

Me: yes I say with tears in my eyes. He is dead Elena

Her: and Dina how did she react

Me: in your opinion, she did not want to believe it, she was completely stunned by the news, until now she has not shed a single tear she is just frozen in front of the body of her husband. I must admit that I am really afraid of this reaction from her.

Elena: she is in shock, it's a bit normal and your mother knows it?

Me: not yet Elena I'm really afraid of what might happen mom will certainly blame Dina, why did Moab have to die now my God.

Dina Malick Sankara

I don't know what's happening, it must be a nightmare, a bad dream, Moab can't be dead, he can't leave me like that, it's impossible, it's really impossible, my God you can't take my husband like that, you can't do that to me, please don't take my husband.

I was very quiet and I took Moab's hand between mine, it was very cold, he didn't react, I left the room and I went to sit on one of the benches in the waiting room, and I waited for Henry, he had to tell the doctor to do something for Moab, he had to not let him die.

Amir Sow

I was in the middle of showing a house to a young couple when my phone started ringing, it was Henry calling me, I wondered why

Me: Excuse me. Yes Henry

Him: Hello Amir, where are you?

Me: I'm in the middle of work, what's wrong? And why does your voice sound sad?

Him: I have some bad news to tell you

Me: Yes, what is it?

Him: it's about Moab

Me: yes, what happened to him? I asked him worried

Him: Henry Moab is dead

Me: No, that's not possible, we spoke last night.

Him: if he died this morning

Me: my God and Dina

Him: I can't describe you the state she is in

Me: ok, I'm coming right away

Henry Sankara

I wanted to join Dina but I saw her sitting in the corridor, I had never seen her like that, I went towards her, sat down and took her hand, she didn't even look at me, then suddenly said

She: tell the doctor to consult once more Moab please

Me: Dina

She: I beg you Henry Moab is not dead he cannot be dead he says seriously still without looking at me nor shedding a tear.

Me: yes I am going to tell him I say to him simply to reassure her

I left and came back and just told her that we had to go back, she didn't want to go but she ended up coming with me, she didn't say anything even when we entered the house she didn't say anything, she went straight to the bedroom, I sat in the living room when the doorbell rang I went to open and it was Amir

Me: Hi

Him: Hi, he said as he entered. So it's really true? Moab is......

Me: dead yes, but damn it just saying it makes me feel bad

Him: and how is Dina?

Me: she's in the room, you know she asked me to ask the doctor to consult Moab again that he couldn't be dead and even I can't believe it.

Him: yes, I also say that I am deeply sad. It must not be easy for Dina.

Amir Sow

Everyone already knew about Moab's death, since she entered the room Dina had not come out, we were really worried about her. We had also informed Dina's parents who were on their way here right now. We were all sitting in the living room when the doorbell rang, Elena was about to open the door and Moab's mother came in with a fury.

She: where is this murderer, where is this poor girl, I had told Moab that this girl would bring him bad luck

Me: madam calm down everyone here is in shock

She: everyone you say I want to see this bad girl I want to see this murderer she is the one who killed my son

Henry: mom stop Dina is just as bad as you are

She: no she's not in pain she's a bad girl where is she

She opened the door of the room where Dina was sitting, the latter was sitting with a blank stare, it seemed that all the noise around her did not influence her at all

Moab's mother went and pulled her violently out of the bed and she fell out of it, Dina didn't utter any sound from her mouth, we were standing between her and I was helping Dina to get up but she still didn't react, I made Dina leave the room by holding her hand but she did not even look at me, arriving at the living room I directed her towards the chair finally to install it but she removed her hand of mine and sat down on the two steps that there were in the room.

Moab's mother came out of the room and came into the living room and sat down and looked at Dina with lightning in her eyes.

She: oh oh stop this drama, tell me earlier what you did to my son, I had told him that you would bring him bad luck, I did not agree with his choice I told him that she was a bad girl and here are the consequences he paid with his life, besides you have absolutely nothing to do in this house you will take your waste of luggage and go immediately with your child.

Me: Madam, please stop

Her: I won't stop, this bitch killed my son, I told her so

Me: but.......

Dina: you are right......... I am a big slut.......... everything is my fault........ everything is my only fault she says without looking at us, without crying, without emotion

After her sentence she got up and entered the room again

Mother of Moab: you see

Two weeks later

Moab's funeral took place today we were all there and it was time to put the body in the ground, Dina was present but since the last time she had not spoken a word, she had not eaten, she had lost weight and had huge rings around her eyes

since the beginning she had not shed a single tear, and this was very worrying, Moab's coffin was lowered before being covered with earth. Moab was now in his final resting place.

Thirty minutes later

The ceremony was over Dina was still crouching in front of Moab's grave just looking at the grave.

Me: Dina, it's time for us to go.

Me: Dina.....

She: He abandoned me, he left me all alone, you too when you were alive you abandoned me for no good reason, you avoided me and didn't take my calls anymore, today you come back and you allow yourself to pretend to worry about me? I don't need that you know all I need is my husband Moab who unfortunately also abandoned me, I am alone and I lost the only thing that kept me alive, the only person I wanted to live for, I asked God not to take my husband away from me but he didn't do anything about it I understand now why some people prefer not to believe in him, when we really need God he abandons us and when we don't need him he is there. Now I want you to listen to what I am going to say, leave and never come back, forget that we know each other, especially continue to avoid me as you did during all this time, I never want to see you again Amir said to me while looking me in the eyes and without expression.
