Evelyn stood in the corner of the hall, surrounded by women wearing Arabic robes. She couldn't understand the chattering language of these women, but she couldn't help but secretly despise them when they made such a fuss over Jonas's kiss.
This abominable place is so discriminatory towards women that they just set aside a corner in the hall for them to observe the ceremony. Only grandma and the other elders had seats in the front. There were no male guests today, but they still couldn't move around freely. She watched her younger brother Yoni taking pictures in front of him with a camera, and couldn't help but be a little envious of his position.
Fortunately, the ceremony was held quickly. Jonas and Latini met with the parents of both parties and pressed their fingerprints on the marriage certificate together. All the women moved to the atrium, except for some "big shots" in the living room. Today is A woman's world.
Before the banquet started, almost all the guests were amazed by the display of betrothal gifts, including one thousand and one gold coins, gold tableware, various fabrics and silks. Even though Evelin secretly despised these behaviors that revealed her wealth, when she saw those jewelry pieces, she couldn't help but have little golden flowers popping up in her big eyes.
After walking around, she came to Latini, who had been sitting there, accepting blessings from the guests. Even though she was a little biased, Evelin had to admit that this was really a beautiful girl.
¡°Hi, hello, Latini.¡± She knew she knew English and was still learning German.
Latini looked at her and laughed. "Hello Evelyn."
¡°You know me?¡± Evelin asked curiously.
"Ever since I knew I was going to live with Jonas, I have paid close attention to everything about him. You are his sister. I have known you a long time ago through photos and videos." Latini took her hand and said, Let her sit next to you. "I heard that you are also moving back to Switzerland from the United States. We are about the same age. I hope we can become good friends in the future."
Evelin said: "Latini, you are only 16 years old. Are you willing to decide your life so early?"
Latini smiled shyly and said: "Everyone's life has been determined since he was born. Now I can choose the best path. I am extremely grateful to Allah for His grace."
Evelin feels that Latini is really a girl who is easily satisfied. "I'm 19 years old, but I still feel young and don't want to think about my life early."
Latini smiled softly and said: "Evelyn. Life is there, we need to take every step well, sometimes. There are really not many opportunities for us to choose. I am poor about being able to marry Jonas. I feel the happiest and happiest thing in my mind. When you meet a man like this, you will be like me."
"Do you love Jonas?"
"Of course!" Latini seemed to become energetic all of a sudden, and her deep eyes seemed to be burning with blazing love. "Of course I love him, he is my king, my world. Evelin, I didn't know it before, but I know it now. My life exists because of him, and he is the meaning of my existence."
Evelin looked at her bright eyes and didn¡¯t know what to say for a moment. She felt that she and Latini were from two different worlds, and she could not imagine that she would love a man wholeheartedly. People must love themselves first and then love others, right? ! But Latini made her feel. She is loving her brother with all her life.
Evelin hesitated and said, ¡°As far as I know, my bad brother seems to have another woman.¡±
"What does it matter?"
Evelin thought her hearing was hallucinating and asked again, "What?"
Latini said with a smile: "If I can exchange my life for his happiness, I will give up my life without hesitation. I love Jonas. For me, as long as I can make Jonas feel Whatever makes you happy, I will do it without hesitation. Evelin, have you ever been in love?"
¡°I have had two boyfriends, but I don¡¯t have the feeling you mentioned,¡± Evelin said with a sigh.
Latini grabbed her hand and said: "Although Jonas was the first man I knew besides my family, he made me feel the meaning of life. God told me that men are trees and women are vines. There are no men." , women have no one to attach themselves to. Jonas is my tree. With him, I can grow like the sky. Without him, I can only grow on the ground and be trampled by everyone."
Although she couldn¡¯t understand Latini¡¯s feelings, Evelin was already moved by Latini¡¯s pious demeanor. The love for Ivanka turned into respect and love for Latini. She held Latini's hand and said: "Latini, I think I already like it."Thank you so much, I believe we will get along very well. "However, she couldn't help but ask again, "Latini, don't you feel jealous? "
Latini thought about it seriously, shook his head and said: "If jealousy can change reality, I will be jealous, but when your jealousy cannot solve any problems, I will accept it."
"Or your love can make Jonas give up his relationship with others"
Latini smiled and shook his head. "Evelin, you don't know how happy and happy I am now. I am very satisfied to have a place in Jonas's heart."
Every woman who came to the banquet expressed congratulations to Latini, and some even gave them gifts prepared by themselves. When members of the seven royal families of the United Arab Emirates arrived, there was a climax of celebration. Evelin sat next to her, quietly watching these queens and princesses who were rarely seen gather together. Although she was a little excited, she regarded it more as a movie, because this scene, It seemed so far away from her.
The crowd suddenly became commotion. Evelin looked around and saw Jonas entering this woman's world under the leadership of Salma. This is a world where men are forbidden, and only some children can enter. However, as the groom, he was allowed to meet these women.
Evelin noticed that many young girls were in an uproar. My brother is already handsome, and he dressed up specially today, making him look even more handsome. He politely greeted every guest cordially, but respected the etiquette of the United Arab Emirates and kept a distance of about one meter from everyone.
But seeing his bland and graceful manner, Evelin felt that he was too good at pretending and couldn't help but want to laugh. No matter what kind of man he is, being among hundreds of women will probably be very stressful.
After his brother left, many girls showed envious attention to Latini, including several princesses. Although I couldn't understand what they were talking about, looking at Latini's expression, he must be inseparable from his brother.
The luncheon began. This was a real country of girls. Except for some children under ten years old, no man appeared. The dishes were sumptuous, but what attracted Evelin the most was the roasted camel.
This camel has been roasting for five days. It was ten minutes before lunch, and the bonfire below was slowly extinguished. Several strong women with big shoulders and round waists began to divide. Evelin watched in amazement as they took out a whole sheep from the camel's belly. There was a chicken in the sheep's belly, and there was a fish in the chicken's belly. Finally, an egg was taken out from the fish's belly.
The woman carefully put the egg on a silver plate and brought it to Latini.
Latini walked to the front desk with the eggs and stood in front of the microphone. ¡°The Holy Prophet said, ¡®Allah loves those who pray for a long time.¡¯ We are all loyal subjects of God. Thank God for giving us food, giving us hope, and giving us happiness.¡±
Everyone applauded, but soon fell silent, waiting calmly for Latini¡¯s speech. In the impression of Hannah and Cecia, Latini has always been a shy little girl, but now seeing Latini standing in front of the stage, they feel that there seems to be something in Latini's weakness that they have not experienced. Discover the tenacity. It takes a lot of courage to be able to talk freely in such a situation.
¡°Latini is so cool,¡± Evelyn said.
But her words made everyone around her look over, and she could even see the dissatisfaction in their eyes. She stuck out her tongue sheepishly.
Latini led everyone in a prayer in Arabic, and then said in English: "Sixteen years ago, God gave me life, and through my mother, I came to this world and was born in this world. The great family of the same name as the Prophet. Thank Allah.
¡With the blessing of Allah, I grow up happily. The hardships of life have made me understand the greatness of Allah. For this reason, I will dedicate my life to Allah and bask in His glory.
¡From the United Arab Emirates to Switzerland, from the Mohammed family to the Hoffmann family, although I will be leaving this land, I am still a devout and loyal subject of God. I will abide by God¡¯s edict and promote the glory of God. ¡¡±
Because there were too many Islamic instructions, Evelin could not understand them all, but these words that she could understand left a deep impression on her heart. She couldn't understand why repressed women in this land maintained such a devout attitude towards their beliefs. It is even more incomprehensible that Latini, who is only 16 years old, has matured to this point. She is only 16 years old, still a child.
Evelin¡¯s doubts were not clarified. After Latini finished speaking, all the women, including the children, chanted ¡°Allah bless you.¡±??. This sumptuous lunch just started. Evelin, however, felt a little dissatisfied. She felt that she should no longer look at the world with prejudice. She wanted to get to know this land and its people again.
