into trouble, she normally asked Amir for help. He figured that her feelings for Joseph must have been very deep for her to act like that.
“Daaliyah, I will not let you do this to Aaliyah!” Fiddah said.
“She walked out of her own free will,” Daaliyah replied.
“You kicked her out when you demanded that she choose. Where you actually thinking that she would choose you? What exactly do you want from her? To marry a rich man and be unhappy?”
“Why does she have to be unhappy?”
“Simply because a man is wealthy does not mean happiness for the wife. Aaliyah will be with whomever she chooses to be with. How dare you even say her parents would be disappointed in her!” Fiddah was getting very angry. Mr Botros stood up and approached her.
“They would want her to marry into a good family,” Daaliyah replied gently. She was convinced that she was right.
“Mother, calm down,” Mr Botros said to Fiddah.
“Let go of me,” she demanded as she shook her son off. “Simply because he is not from our social class does not mean that he is not from a good family. I am disappointed in both of you,” Fiddah said.
“I love her as if she were my own daughter and I only want the best for her like I do for my own children,” Daaliyah stated defensively.
“Bring her back home, otherwise feel the full extent of my wrath,” Fiddah threatened before she walked out. Mrs Botros left the room and went upstairs as her husband followed. Sara was feeling awkward. So much had happened in one night.
“I guess we should go home,” she said.
“I think so too,” Soraya said.
“Where did Aaliyah get that courage from?” Amir asked and looked at Sara.
“Why are you looking at me?” Sara asked.
“You look suspicious.”
Sara laughed. “I wish I had something to do with it but I did not,” she said. She felt so proud of her. It must have taken a lot of courage to speak out against Mrs Botros. She knew what it was like to be in that position.
“Let's go get the children,” Tariq said. He was full of mixed emotions. He felt bad for Aaliyah, was upset with his mother over her behaviour and very scared of his grandmother; he never ever wanted to disappoint her. He loved her too much. He was surprised at Aaliyah's courage and still did not know what to make of Joseph other than he handled himself well given the circumstances.
Chapter 12
It had been two weeks since Aaliyah had left home. She was back in Safad Village with Joseph. He had tried to change her mind about returning home but she was adamant. She loved Joseph and she couldn’t imagine spending a moment without him. Despite what her family had said, her heart was set on Joseph. Sara and Soraya called her every day to make sure that she was okay and did not need anything. According to them, her aunt was still very angry.
Aaliyah was covered in food when Joseph arrived home from work. He leaned against the counter watching her stare at the pot on the stove. “Aaliyah, what exactly are you doing?” he asked her with a smirk. She jumped when she heard his voice.
“I was trying to cook,” she said and pouted. She looked like a little child that was in trouble. Joseph picked up a dishtowel and approached her to wipe her face.
“How did you end up wearing the food instead?”
“Don't tease me now; I was trying to cook for you.”
Joseph kissed her head. “Well, thank you for trying,” he said. He looked down at the pot, “But we definitely cannot salvage that,” he said and laughed.
“Joseph, stop laughing,” Aaliyah complained.
“Go clean up, I will cook.”
Aaliyah sulked as she left the kitchen to change her clothes. She had never cooked in her life but she wanted to cook for him. She liked the idea of him coming home to her after a long day. She wanted him to relax whilst she made him dinner.
“Teach me,” she said when she
