The Iranian
Part 26
22 January 2003
I woke with a big headache, the same way as I had been for the
last days. Negin wouldn't stop calling me on my mobile and I
just stopped answering and eventually turned it off.
So
she started calling me at home. Again
big mistake. My mom would answer and they would chitchat and eventually
the phone would be passed on to me. I couldn't tell my mom
anything about this affair, that's why I felt more depressed.
I didn't have any one to share this with, except for Val,
but she was too busy with her life. I didn't want to be a
burden.
I turned on my phone and 5 minutes later it began to ring.
I picked up and to my surprise it was Nahal.
"Salam Awisa."
"Salam Nahal, khoobi?"
"Areh mersi, what happened? I've been hearing things from Omid.
Are you okay? What's going on?"
As I said, I was at a point
at which I needed some one to talk to. Nahal's phone call was
like heaven sent. Negin's
enemy...
So I poured my heart out. I told her everything.
At first she had trouble believing it, after hearing the details,
she was
of course
convinced of Negin's "crime".
Finally I had someone supporting me, someone who
was as astonished as I was, someone I felt was
on my
side, even though
I felt her own personal vendetta had something to
do with her support.
I didn't care. I just needed an ear, to hear me.
And she heared me alright. She said she was going to tell all
who "needed" to know and with that I think she
meant Abbas.
Of course she didn't blame Omid too much; he was
a boy following his little head. But Negin had
done the big NO NO in friendship. She had betrayed me. Nahal
said
it
was obvious, she had forseen it all. According
to her, Negin didn't have any friends, she only used people.
Deep
in
my
heart, I felt
it wasn't true or maybe I just didn't want
to admit what kind of fool I had been. But on the other
hand, I wanted to put all blame on Negin. I didn't even think
about
Omid
anymore. It was only Negin and the way she had
betrayed me. Nahal
told
me
how she saw Negin putting her hand on Omid's
leg, when I wasn't around. She said she wanted to warn me, but
she didn't
want to ruin anything. She also said that Omid,
quickly pulled
his leg back.
According to Nahal, that was one of the reasons, why she said
Omid was in love with me that day in Stockholm.
I kind of felt relieved.
Was I going to be part of destroying Negin's relationship?
Hadn't she done the same to me? But what
if I did, wouldn't this act make me equal to Negin? AS LOW
AS NEGIN?
On the other hand, if I don't do anything and
she would end up
with him,
she would probably get miserable anyway.
But I
wanted her
to
feel what I was feeling. If I would
do this, she wouldn't
even feel half the pain I
had felt.
In my attempt to pour my heart out, I told Nahal about Negin's
plan to go to Dubai, without her parents
knowing. She wants to tell every one that she is going
to SHOMAL, but instead
she would
go to Dubai to visit Abbas.
I said goodbye to Nahal, feeling a lot releaved and light. Finally
I had a little peace of mind. I was
wondering what Nahal's plan was. Knowing Nahal it would be
a very
vengeful. Nahal had built up a lot of anger and
hatred against
Negin. I knew her
plan would hurt Negin. But at that
point I had no idea what she was going to do.
