Nida considered my statement and, without hesitation, asked, “Then why do you insist to know? It will only upset you.” He tried reasoning with me. “The less you know the better.” He was obviously genuinely concerned now for my welfare.
“No, Nidal, that’s where you are wrong. Not knowing, no matter how bad it is, will only make me sick with worry.” I tried to make him understand my logic.
Nidal knew he had lost the argument, and when he spoke, it was with great sadness. “Loula, in a few months, my beloved country will go to war.”
“War?” I was terrified. “Who will lead them to war?” I already knew the answer to that before he even responded.
Nidal just sat there staring at me without answering my question. But his silence confirmed to me what I needed to know. I threw myself on him, crying.
“No, Nidal! You cannot go!” I begged. “I won’t let you. Why do you have to even be there? Please, Nidal, don’t go!” I cried.
Nidal tried to calm me down, but I was hysterical. “That is the reason I chose not to tell you. I knew you would be upset, Loula. Tell me you understand that, please,” Nidal begged.
I looked into Nidal’s beautiful face. He was so handsome, and he was mine. The thought that he was going to put his life in danger drove me wild with worry. I did not know how to deal with such news. I hugged him, never wanting to let him go. I held him in my arms so tight. I wanted this moment to last forever. Tears rolled down my face, sobs tore from my throat, and I was trembling. I felt Nidal’s hold tighten.
“Now do you know why I did not tell you before this, Loula?” Nidal gently asked. “I knew how you would react. I do not want you to feel this way.”
“So what were you going to do? Run off to war without saying a single word? Did you want me to wake up one morning and realize you had gone to war?” I let out all my anger and frustration.
Nidal just sat there, not saying a word, which angered me even more. I started pounding on his chest. He didn’t even wince at the pain. He knew I was right.
“So tell me, Nidal. How am I supposed to live without you now that I have lived with you for so long? What if something happens to you and I never see you again? I will kill myself! I will jump in the river and drown myself,” I told him frantically.
