The Red Nights 15- A plate of Maafe
Lina and Matteo prepared to leave the office. After he revealed to her the supposed date when the army of undead would come to attack the city.Her reaction was surprising, or rather Matteo didn't expect such a reaction from her. When she heard the information, Lina just commented a few words before changing the subject. She began by trying to scout Matteo and bring him to her office so he could lend her a hand with the administrative matters as, according to her observation of him, she estimated that he was fully capable to take the job. Matteo initially turned her down but he later came to know that Lina can be very convincing when she wanted. After insisting a little more and giving him some irrefutable arguments, Matteo was cornered and couldn't do otherwise but accept helping her to finish all the work she had to do on that day.Lina was particularly happy since she came to leave the office earlier than usual.In fact that work was, a little bit, related to Matteo since it was a
The Red Nights 16- One Battle After Another
"Are you really serious?" Jamal asked Lina with a surprised tone.Lina remained with her fake innocent smile on her face when she responded "it is the crucial point of my plan. There is no way we could make it without that, and anyway, I don't know where is the problem with what I'm asking".She rose her sight to gaze at the three people in the living room while they were presenting their dumbfounded expressions on their faces. Jamal breathed in slowly and then took a low and calm voice when he started to respond, "Do you realize the scale of your request? You want me to go finish the wars in the neighboring cities all by myself".Indeed, when Lina started to expose her plan to defeat the army of the undead who was intending to come to destroy their dear Stainfall city in less than one week. She explained to them that before they looked for a way to handle the attack of the undead only on Natasha, who was the only one able to kill them definitively, they had to find out, at first, a w
The Red Nights 17- The Departure
On their way back to Lina's house, she stayed completely quiet which was unusual for her. Jamal was a little bit worried, and at many attempts, he tried to know from her directly what was wrong but she went on repeating again and again that there was no problem and returned to being silent.After his sixth try, he was now sure that something was bothering her deeply, he thought his 'boyfriend's instinct' couldn't lie to him. However, he knew that no matter how many times he would ask her the answer would remain the same, so he decided to take it another way and just start a casual discussion, [as we talk she will gradually go back to her usual self and will confess to me along with the conversation] he thought."How Saidu is doing well?" he decided to go on with that and gave a shot, "lately I haven't had the time to visit him". He crossed his fingers inside his heart and hoped she would grab the bite he handed her and would start talking. [It shouldn't be difficult since she loves ta
The Red Nights 18- Where is he?
Early in the morning, when Natasha woke up, she first thought about going to say goodbye to Jamal, but after meditating on it she concluded that it would be better if she didn't go as she knew that seeing him leaving would make her emotional side taking over, she would beg him to let her accompany him or she would just decide to sneak and follow him in secret in case of rejection.Instead, she just shook her head, made up her mind, jumped out of her bed and she started her morning practice; some push-ups and other supplement room workouts. After she finished warming up, confident that her body was now fully awakened, she went straight to the bathroom. In the end, it took about 45 minutes to be entirely prepared, she was wearing her usual sports clothes, a sleeveless T-shirt, mini leggings, and a pair of comfortable sports shoes. In last, she took her knife which was resting on her table, and put it in its pocket.[Well, time to go] she said to her reflection in the mirror.She passed
The Red Nights 19- The Response (part I)
After Jamal left the house, Lina stayed there for quite a moment, silent and steady, lost in her thoughts while staring at the horizon. She was wondering about how the city would be doing well during the absence of Jamal as his job was not just fighting the bad people to protect the weak ones, it was in reality more than that, over time spent he became gradually, in the eyes of every people in Stainfall, the figure of the invincible guardian of the city.The job he had done during those two years after the tragic night caused him to be very well seen by all his citizens. Lina was convinced that if people in Stainfall could sleep on their two ears without the fear to be assaulted by a random madman during the night if they could feel safe by walking along the streets, it was all because they got the certainty that Jamal was guarding them.That was why she was so worried, she was thinking about how everyone would react when they would hear about Jamal's mission in the extern of the city
The Red Nights 20- The Response (part II)
For a while both Lina and Matteo didn't pronounce a single word, they stayed there glancing at each other. Matteo seemed like trying to find something in her eyes which would confirm that they were not dreaming, as it seemed like the excitement in her tone of voice was not enough obvious or convincing."Why are you staring at me like that, all stiff and silent? That's good news," Lina was revealing a huge smile on her face while she was trying to get some reaction from the young boy.But the reaction was quite comprehensive since such an outcome was not expected. It was quite a surprise.Usually, the behavior adopted by most people, when they went through a very painful experience like all that happened to those people, such as losing someone or something dear to them, being forced to abandon their homes and all that they knew and were familiar with, would be to cut off any relationship with the reality, at least that what Matteo thought. He thought they would rather choose to quit al
The Red Nights 21- Reconciliation
Natasha was strolling along the street when she caught sight of Matteo on the other side. He was passing by different stores and spots, hanging posters on them. She guessed that he must have been doing that all morning because his stack of posters, which seemed a lot thicker a few hours before, was now almost finished, it only remained a few papers in his hand.When she was about to put the first step toward him she rapidly stopped her move as a thought crossed her mind, [due to all the training I have been doing since this early morning I have sweated too much, and for sure I'm smelling like a stack of trash] she recalled [if I reach him now he won't stop making fun of me]. Indeed, these days he seemed to have finally taken his marks and became more at ease with her and the others, and since then, she noticed that he took the habit to tease her whatever it was about her look, her preferences, or even the way she was in her daily life.She was already annoyed by Lina whose favorite pa
The Red Nights 22- The Basketball Court
After he finished hanging the posters, Matteo had also another task which was to prepare the venue for the speech. Lina told him before that there were two squares in the town and both of them were enough big to contain the number of people they were expecting to come, but the question remaining was which one would be the most suitable for such an event.At that moment he was heading for the second place after having already visited the first one. It was a vast court equipped with a wooden stage at one side, he thought that it was a simple spot and it would be easy to prepare it since he would only have to install the seats as, the stage was already equipped with all the materials needed and even if it had to last until the night there were some projectors already provided. He remembered that Natasha once mentioned the fact they used to organize some activity to cheer up the morale of the townspeople who were still carrying the trauma of that night, he deduced that it was the place th
