How is it like to activate someone's "devil mode"?
Nana's devil mode consists of throwing continuous and persistent threats of never forgiving me in this lifetime nor in the afterlife, which actually worked amazingly for a very long time on me, for example she used to order me around in the freezing winter yelling:
_" Noursine! Go wash the floor in front of the house.. Do you want the neighbors to say that we're dirty just because you're too lazy to wash the dust and fallen leafs away!"
When i remind her that it's too cold for me to survive if i went outside, and that there were no leafs since the autumn is long over she would stand in front of me with a cold face and starts threatening:
_"wallah( i swear to god) i will never forgive you if you don't go now and clean that place! Wallah i'll die of a burdened heart because of you and when we meet in front of allah i shall not forgive you and i shall ask him to throw you in hell!"
These words surprisingly turned me into a docile and obeying granddaughter every freaking time.
As for my "devil mode", it's much more sophisticated .. I just give the people around me the ultimate silence treatment, which has benefited me with only the people who are very close to me or who absolutely need me to speak during certain situations, Nana told me that i have adopted this weird behavior ever since i started to talk and figured out the importance of speaking, in my childhood whenever i was displeased with something i seldom wasted my energy in throwing a fit or crying my eyes out, i just turned on the silence mode for days until everyone were convinced with my stance and they gave up to my demands.
Now let's put some real thing under the light: Eliyas's devil mode.
When that husband of mine activates his devil mode, even the devil himself runs away frightened!
He's ruthless.. Fearless.. Merciless, the master of torture! he brings people from the highest top to the bottom in ways we mortals even fear to speak about.
I don't know how my father-in-law built the Filladi company in the past, but i know how my husband is maintaining it: by crushing all his enemies.
You see, Eliyas doesn't have the reputation of a righteous and honest business man, he's a beast in the field, he does all his moves in a legal frame so no one can catch anything against him yet he knows every trick in the book, he uses all the loopholes in the law to his benefit and to take over his opponents, and that is only his devil mode in business and not even on a personal level!
If i need to mention one personal revenge guided by pure anger then i should speak about that accident when my colleage and I went to a village 3 hours away from D city to lead a press investigation only to be robbed and phisically violated (i was just slapped on the face), When i remember that those 3 young men who attacked us just burned them selves alive inside their house afterwards because they were given the choice either that or take Eliyas's punishment i feel goosebumps going all over me.
When i heard Nana say that Eliyas called personally to threaten Azziz i knew right away that Azziz was definitely going to be toyed with mercilessly before he'd be crushed like a bug, i felt terrified immediately.
I didn't want Azziz in my life again, but that doesn't mean that wished for him to be doomed.. Actually i wanted him to lead a happy life away from me.
He was a great part of my life once, and the most important person for me, when i remember how much he dreamed about having his own magazine and how much effort he put to do that i feel very agonized to know that Eliyas can crush all that in a matter of hours.
I looked at Nana and asked her:
_"Can you go back to your room Nana, i need to call Eliyas"
She nodded sighing, gave me a pensive look and then replied:
_"i'm going .. I'm going, i'm feeling terrified already because i'm in his room"
She stood up, stepped towards me and carrassed my hair gently before adding:
_"but this little boy (Eliyas) treasures you so much and holds you dearly inside his heart, he had always treasured you and looked after you.. As long as you're faithful to him he'll never hurt you, so don't act brainless and don't meddle in other people's business"
I nodded in agreement to her words, i smiled for her and i replied:
_" i know all that .. Eliyas is a good man to me"
After Nana went out i finally grabbed my phone, i dialed Eliyas's number and i called him.
The call was picked up from the first ringtone this once:
_" i guess your meeting is over" i commented.
_"yes.. I'll be boarding the plane in half an hour, i'll be back home in few hours"
_"what! Were you not in the middle of negotiations! How did you wrap up things so fast?"
He went silent for a bit, and then he replied to my total shock:
_"Noursine, do you really think the rumors the adminisrative team leaks to the rest of the campany are accurate? The company is in no tight position, in fact it's quite the opposite. The only reason for my long absence is to see if there are any insiders in the company who would take this falsified chance and dare to make a move against me, as for the matter here i was too merciful to listen to their compromises until this last meeting.. Now that i need to be back i no longer have the leisure to do that."
No comment.
Seriously.. Not a single word of comment.
I just asked like a wife should:
_"should i wait for your return?"
_"it will be late when i'm back, you just go to sleep."
I remained silent after that, thinking whether i should intervene in Azziz's matter or not, in the end i sighed and called his name gently:
_"Eliyas"
The man on the other side didn't reply so i called his name gently again:
_"Eliyas, is the phone service bad there?"
_"no, i can hear you well"
I took a deep breath, and then i said:
_"Eliyas, can you not make another move against Azziz until you're back and we discuss it, i can't deal with the consequences alone.. I can't deal with Your family."
_"ok"
_"have a safe trip then"
Although Eliyas asked me not to wait for him, i still couldn't sleep that night.. After a long time of tossing and staring at the ceiling and the empty spot on the bed beside me aimlessly i decided to just turn on the Tv and watch anything until Eliyas comes back.
Honestly speaking, the reason for my sleep to run away that night was a humanly feeling that makes the one's heart beats faster and the one's lips turn upward, it is a feeling which is well portrayed in the songs of the white and black era where in the music video you can see your elegant young lady sitting beside the phone of the house and waiting for it to ring and sighing with a smile, while the male voice is singing in the background: "i miss you".
That is exactly the situation i was living, i was missing that husband of mine and excited for his soon return.
I pushed every thought to the back of my mind, that is including Azziz as well, i kept only anticipating Eliyas to open our room's door and walk in.
By the time the clock reached 2:30 am i decided to no longer play the role of an elegant lady in a black and white video who is waiting for her lover's phone call and just go to sleep, because i had to wake up early the next morning for my work! If i kept on aimlessly waiting not only i would meet Eliyas looking like a panda with bloodshot eyes, i would have a very hard day in work as well because of the lack of sleep.
So i turned off the Tv, and i tried to sleep.
A little time later, the room's door was finally carefully opened and a black silhouette walked inside.
At first i felt so happy thinking it was Eliyas and i wanted to jump on him with hugs and kisses, but then i noticed that this silhouette which was dimly lit by the faint light coming from out the window belonged to someone much shorter than Eliyas, probably my height.
So i was alerted immediately thinking it was some short thief trying to steel from Eliyas's safe or Ines coming to my room to kill me!
I turned on the bedside lamp right away ready to fight for my life only to find that the dark short silhouette belonged to the person i expected the least.. To Nana!
When i turned on the bedside lamp i found her still standing by the door searching for the light switch, the moment the room was lit she tuned to look at my direction .. And yelled immediately:
_" since you're awake then why are you still here while your in-laws are having a fight with your husband! It's the resurrection day downstairs and you dare sleep comfortably here, come here hold my hand and guide me.. I forgot to put on my glasses, i'm seeing nothing! "
Not another drama!
I really had no heart to go down.. Still Nana startec nagging so much saying words like:
_"Your mother-in-law looked like having a heart attack" .. "Your sister-in-law threatened to hang her self on the chandelier" .. " your husband seemed very tired and having a headache".
When i heard this last statement, although it sounded very innacurate coming from a person who has a very bad eyesight, i still stood up from the bed and immediately followed her out the room in a hurry.
Since my room was in the far end of a long corridor i didn't hear any voices, it wasn't until we were near the start of that corridor that the sounds of my in-laws voices started to hurt my ears and head.
When i reached the stairs.. I found that all the lights in the villa were on, and everyone was standing down stairs, to my surprise even Azziz was there!
He was still wearing his suit from earlier, his look a bit unkempt and he was standing by Ines's side while that crazy girl threw a fit after another at my calm husband.
I blocked Nana's way and asked her confused:
_"when did Azziz come back?"
_"i don't know, i was awaken by their voices just few minutes ago, i came to bring you down to be here with your husband right away"
I quickly walked down the stairs and stood a bit far from the scene trying to figure out what was going on first. Ines was yelling:
_"If you want to see me dead then carry on with shutting down Azziz's magazine! What did we do to you?.. Why do you insist on making my life miserable!"
She then fell on her knees and started crying her heart out while my mother-in-law hugged her tight, both looking indeed so miserable.
I was looking at them not sure how to feel about what was happening in front of my eyes when the silent Eliyas finally decided to speak, he yelled:
_"Noursine!"
I turned to look at him startled.
He was looking at me with a red face and angry eyes, i had no idea what i did to make him that angry!
He took a deep breath, then he ordered calmly:
_"go dress on properly"
Ladies and gentlemen, it wasn't until this very moment that i remembered that the shameless me who was waiting for her husband to be back "passionately" was wearing a sleepwear that unveiled much more than it covered. I realised that i was standing in front of the whole family looking so indecent, that Nana who sees the world a blur without her glasses on and who couldn't even find the light switch earlier naturally couldn't see how "exposed" i was, and that Azziz forgot all about his fiancée and he was staring right at me in a way he shouldn't.
You see, this is the problem about living in an expensive villa, even in the freezing January the temperature was so warm inside that place so i didn't feel the cold air while being moved by my wifely emotions, If i was in the house in my hometown even if i was threatened with a knife i would remember to put on a coat first before running away to save my life.
The bigger problem yet happened next, i felt extremely embarrassed with my looks that i forgot another important detail .. Which is that the back of that sleepwear was even more catastrophic, so when i turned to take the stair up Eliyas not only yelled my name and shouted:
_" just stop right there!"
He even took off his jacket and wrapped me angrily with it.
I had no face to even look at him at that second, i just tagged on the jacket and climbed the stairs up to my room without looking back.
Few minutes later, Eliyas finally walked inside the room to find an extremely decent me, i put on my long pyjamas and even my socks, while looking at him guiltily as he impatiently took off his tie and started gazing at me coldly i explained with a barely heard voice:
_" i didn't notice my clothes.. I went down on a hurry, you know how Nana starts nagging nonstop and how she exaggerates."
_" did you know he was still here?" He asked coldly.
When i heard this question.. Things became personal.
I stood up, i stepped in front of him and i asked coldly:
_" do you think i'd go dressed like that in front of a strange man?"
He squeezed his temples and looked away, answering:
_" of course not.. May allah curse the devil"
He sat on the bed .. And unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, he looked very tired, he exhaled .. Then seriously said:
_" that man played it well, the Filladis really have no idea that he was your ex.. At least Ines doesn't, you saw how she was..That man is using her in every way to get close to my wife and yet that silly blind woman is threatening me with her life for him."
He went silent for a bit .. He looked at the ground pensively, then he raised his determined icy eyes to stare at mine and he sneered coldly.
I knew at that exact second that Eliyas Filladi's "exterminator mode" was activated and that no power in the world will stop him.
He said:
_" i'm going to crush him"
