Unbearable Jealousy ( Memories from a lifetime ) Aziz story

Asim didn't realize that jealousy would devour his heart in this way. This is the first time he doesn't pay attention to Mr. Jalal's voice. He called him more than once, and he didn't answer.

The moment David kissed Shams' hand didn't leave Asim's imagination, kept repeating and repeating, until his cheeks turned red from anger.

Asim's features changed completely. After Asim had a calm voice & features, he became like an old warrior who is not ruled by his mind but by his madness.

One of the employees, Asim, pokes him to notice Mr. Jalal.

Mr. Jalal said, "Let's arrange a good entertainment schedule for our guest, as this is his first time here."

Asim said while grinding his teeth, "okay sir"

Shams noticed that fiery look and immediately knew that it was jealousy, so she wanted to teach him a lesson, not to hide his feelings and confess them.

She approached David, and said to her father, "No, my father. I am the one who will set a schedule for him. I know from Asim in the country that he never goes out, and I will be your tour guide."

Asim impulsively replied, "No, I am the one who will arrange the program. This is not the first time, so relax, your exams for the school year are approaching"

Shams said, "it doesn't matter, I want to take care of David, this is his first time here, and you taught me well."

Asim said, "but….."

Mr. Jamal interrupts him, and he has noticed that there is something strange about Asim, "It is enough, Asim do what she wants because studying was not her priority in the first place."

David said, "Yes, I want my cousin to be my tour guide."

Shams laugh, veins boil in Asim's blood, and he breaks the pen in his palms and cuts himself deep, and Shams notices this, but she prefers not to tell anything.

Mr. Jalal noticed all those changes that occurred to Asim, but he didn't want to anticipate the events, but at the same time he wanted to be reassured.

After David settled down, Mr. Jalal, called Asim, and told him to come, and have tea with him.

Asim knocked on the doors, and permission to enter

Mr. Jalal, "please take a seat"

Asim, "Yes sir, do you want anything from me?"

Mr. Jalal, "how long have you been living here?"

Asim, "more than seven years old"

Mr. Jalal, "it's been a long time. Do you know why I took you from the street and took care of you?"

Asim, "No sir"

Mr. Jalal, "because I found in you a faithful servant"

When Asim heard that, he knew very well that Mr. Jalal wanted him to understand his position, and maybe he was upset from the way he talked with Shams earlier.

Mr. Jalal completes his talk, "You know what would happen to you if I left you on the street, you wouldn't get half of what you got here"

Asim responds to him in great distress, "yes sir, I know that"

Mr. Jalal, "that's good you know"

Asim is about to go out, and while he turns his back on Mr. Jalal, he tells him, "Don't forget to clean David's room well. I mean to send someone to clean it."

Asim knew very well that Mr. Jalal deliberately underestimated him, so as not to raise his eyes to the impossible, but he also gave him the excuse

several months and David didn't want to return to his country, and his connection with Shams and the place increased, Asim tried to avoid Shams and David as much as he could

But if he can avoid it during the day, can he avoid it at night while he is always dreaming of it?

Asim tried more than once to wake himself up from these illusions, and that his life was limited to revenge, no more than that, but when he sees her face or hears only her voice, he can't stop his heart from beating, that is something he can't control.

The next morning, he went to the municipal office to finish some papers, and while he was leaving, he saw an old man Who looks exactly like his father, his clothes seemed to be shabby, and he seemed very kind.

A young man approached him and told him that he could complete all the government work for him for an amount of 5 pounds, it was a very large amount at that time, the old man agreed immediately because he looked so tired

the old man took out 20 pounds, due to his poor eyesight and the similarity of the colors of the two coins

The young man didn't alert the old man, and took the money and put it in his pocket.

This scene provoked Asim, and he turned angrily towards the young man and asked him

To return the money to the old man, but the young man refused and told him that this amount was agreed upon

Asim asked the old man, "did you agree, sir, to give him 20 pounds?

He answered, "of course, No"

Asim grabbed the young man by the collar, and told him to return the money, or else he would tell the police, so he brought it back immediately, and Asim returned it to the old man.

The old man thanked Asim a lot, but Asim was not satisfied with that, he ended all government transactions that the old man wanted

And bring him a cart to get him safely

Asim was very happy when he saw this man, as his father mentioned him, but that happiness didn't last long, as he found on the opposite side David and Shams entering the cinema

His eyes met Shams, but he turned his back on her and went on his way.

That night, Asim was sitting on the lake until late. It seems that these lakes are Asim's friend and keeper of his secrets.

Asim caught a glimpse of a shadow from afar, and it seemed as if it had been there for a long time

But he didn't notice it until now, it was Shams

Shams said, "do I mean something to you?"

Asim, "It's late, and it's frosty, go inside"

Shams said, "Have you loved even once?"

Asim, "what are you saying?"

Shams said, "Do you know something? David told me that he loves me and that he wants to marry me, Is it comfortable for to you see me with a man other than you?"

Asim looks at her

Shams said, "Why don't you say a damn thing? Then, I think you don't mind if a man other than you takes me, laughs with me, hugs me, and touches me…." before Shams finishes her words, Asim interrupts him screaming, "I can't stand it, I can't stand seeing you with another man breathing the air you breathe I can't even stand you talking and laughing with a little boy"

Shams seem shocked by Asim's words, as she never expected him to be so jealous of her

Shams said in hesitation, "were you always jealous of me in this way before, or when David came?"

Asim said, "I am jealous of you. It is a word that can't describe what I feel, I am jealous of you from a book if you sit down to read a novel and express your admiration for it, I'm jealous of you when you sit with your friends for a long time and I can't see your face, I'm going crazy when you're on a trip and I can't watch you, But After all, you can look at the moon from afar, but you can't touch it,

I know my position well; I can't go beyond my limits, You are the princess, and I am the servant"

Shams said, "I didn't know that this face that doesn't show any feelings can be that tender, every word you said touched every feeling of me, but are you crazy, are we in the age of kings! This era ended long ago, or do you just want to escape, I don't care where you are, My position is what I know very well that I love you and will never leave you, I want you to hold on to your love for me and tell me that you will never leave me"

Asim was silent for a while, then said, "I don't want to betray your father. I know very well that he will not allow his daughter to approach his servant, and every father wants the best for his daughter."

Shams said the one who prevented you from entering the medical school was he. Will he also prevent you from what you love? I don't think so, or are you the one who wants to believe this to justify your escape?

At that moment, Shams' father appears and approaches him, so Asim hides Shams behind the tree so that her father doesn't see her.

Asim, "sir, are you looking for something?"

Mr. Jalal, "yes, I have been looking for you"

Asim, "do you want me to do something for you, sir?"

Mr. Jalal, "don't feel angry with me"

Asim says, "I didn't feel..."

Mr. Jalal interrupts him, "I deprived you of what you love"

Asim, "you didn't deprive me of anything"

Mr. Jalal continues his speech, "I have deprived you of the college you want to join, and of Shams!!!"

Asim looks on in amazement
