Ahmed was walking beside Misaki on their way back to his parents' house, and he wanted to tease her with a few words. He smiled mischievously and said:
"Misaki, how old are you now?"
She answered calmly: "I'm seventeen years old."
Ahmed smiled and said in a provocative tone: "Strange! Why is your hair white mixed with black? Are you old? Maybe you're an old lady who puts on makeup to look young. I've seen videos of old Chinese women who do that... maybe you're like them!"
Misaki was about to explode with anger, but she held herself together. As for Ahmed, he couldn't control his laughter, then he added, challenging her: "Do you want proof?"
Misaki looked at him sharply and said: "Yes, bring what you have!"
He laughed and said: "Your big chest proves that you're not young!"
At that moment, Misaki couldn't contain herself, so she kicked him hard in the stomach and said spitefully: "That's the best response!"
Ahmed bent over in pain, then tried to get up, saying: "This old woman has a powerful kick!"
But Misaki wasn't satisfied, so she went to land a punch, but Ahmed suddenly blocked it... and he moved closer and kissed her quickly, then ran away laughing, with Misaki chasing him and shouting: "I'll tell your parents what you said!"
And when they arrived at the house, Misaki stood in front of Ahmed's parents, complaining about what he had done. The father and mother became very angry and hit Ahmed hard in front of her, then the mother said, furious:
"You idiot! This white hair on Misaki's head is because of you!"
Ahmed sat panting from the pain, apologizing to Misaki and his parents, so his mother approached to explain the matter to Misaki, saying:
"Know, my daughter, that Ahmed loves me and his father very much and never disobeys us. But when he learned that you had remembered him while he had not remembered you, he lost his balance and didn't return to his normal self. But now, after he saw you, he has returned to himself and loves you... in fact, you are the first woman to enter his heart. Ahmed has never loved any of his female cousins or aunts, and he even strongly hated them. But now, he brags about you in front of them and proudly shows them your pictures."
Misaki froze at the impact of the mother's words, and she began to see a side of Ahmed she had not known before... a sincere, innocent, and loyal side.
