An Outsider's Love Story ~ Dallas Winston

Ordinary day

Jasmine, in a dressing gown, was sitting in front of her dressing table and brushing her hair

Leïla entered her parents' room

"Mommy, can you brush my hair ?

"Of course my heart"

Jasmine smiled tenderly, hugging her daughter and making her sit on her thighs

Leïla had the same black and wavy hair as Jasmine

Jasmine started brushing her daughter's hair

"Which hairstyle do you want sweetheart ?

- A braid !" Replied Leïla happily

Jasmine smiled, she loved to brush her daughter's hair, it reminded her of her mother brushing her hair when she was little

Suddenly the little girl noticed a pendant in her mother's jewelry box

"This necklace is so beautiful, mommy

- It's a Khamsa, my treasure ..." Said Jasmine, bowing the hairbrush on the dressing table and taking the pendant "... it's an amulet that protects us against the evil eye"

Leïla looked at the jewel in her mother's hand

"It belonged to your grandpa, he gave it to your grandma as a sign of their undying love and she gave it to me afterwards"

Jasmine touched the Khamsa with her thumb

"And I, I give it to you my heart" said Jasmine, tying the pendant around her daughter's neck

Leïla was ecstatic

"Thank you mommy"

The little girl took the Khamsa between her fingers, looking at it in awe

"You like it, sweetheart ?"

Leïla nodded happily and Jasmine placed a long and tender kiss on her daughter's head, before tightening her arms around her and hugging her face against her head

"Pay it attention, my heart, don't lose it

- Yes, mommy, I promise"

Jasmine smiled, tenderly stroking her daughter's belly

"Mommy ?

- Yes my heart ?

- انا احبك (I love you)

- أحبك أيضًا يا كنزي من كل قلبي (I love you too my treasure, with all my heart)

Dally, coming back from the bathroom, entered the bedroom

From the corner of the door he looked at his wife and daughter with love and tenderness

"How beautiful you are my princesses"
