In an extract from the novel “Worty Eyes”, we read:
Noman Abdul Rahman
I remembered this name after twenty years.
I don’t know where he’s now.
Suddenly, he disappeared from my life as a fleeting memory. But in a moment of desire, his image returned to shorten my time. Is it the strange similarity between my personality and his volatile mood?
As if he was sitting in front of me now .. he speaks and his eyes are looking for a stranger, I thought he lived our house.
I was waiting for his presence: sometimes, and before noon
In the evening hours, he surprised us with his gaze. His language has not stopped speaking; He tells us about his stories, and he is released in the remote …
He tells an event. At that time, I had not exceeded adolescence; Maybe you are in high school.
I don’t know why I was close to him. With his hopes and pain, with his assault, moving his hands with incredible nervousness, he seemed to be a person as soon as.
She realizes, without problem, that he carries a flood of oppression and misery … especially when her eyes shine with old sadness.
Its innocent characteristics reflect a paste with obsessions that are difficult to speculate. My first youngster did not know how a young man like him could carry the concerns of the whole world.
And it was there that he spoke of his imprisonment, his political torments, his ideas, his dreams and his aspirations. I remember his first visit to us.
My father said he was one of our loved ones, without determining the relationship of kinship … And perhaps my mother was the only mother of the family who knew the “secret” his secret … its origin … and separated it.
When my mother saw my interest in him, she asked me to leave the session. She said, “Take care of your lesson … Let us understand Numan’s story.”
I hid behind the door of the room, pretending to monitor the birds that do not stop invading boiled wheat grains which occupied the “background of the house”.
At that time, I was the youngest of my brothers, and my mother asked me for strange works, like chasing cats that jump. Perhaps the modernity of my Sunni, my calm characteristics and my commitment to my mother’s instructions, and the fear of my father dawn, were factors that helped me do my work as a “debtor” that exercises his functions sincerely and without objection.
All this sparked my curiosity and my passion for the stories of our guest, the touch and the rich spokesperson …
All the information named that “Noman” has an emotional and political problem at the same time.
He loved a girl, and his family rejects him .. and their argument was that he was occupied by politics, and they did not want to marry their daughter to a person who sleeps, wakes up, eats and drank a “politics”.
