No mamy Adama, mamy, jak zwykle wkurzającego. Co to ma w ogóle być, że nic nie chce powiedzieć, i to bratu. Braciszek powinien go mocno przyprzeć do muru, aby wszystko wyśpiewał, bo ja chcę wiedzieć! Niech Joe coś z nim zrobi, jakoś przyprowadzi do porządku.

I Adam znów poszerzył swoją wiedzę. Wcześniej radził sobie z hiszpańskim i francuskim, teraz doszedł mu arabski i aramejski Surprised

Druga część wpisu.

Eve is staying with them. She works with John a lot, talking about religion, language and culture. They spend a lot of time together and seem to have taken to each other; when I hint at that, Adam shrugs his shoulders. He seems to think that it’s completely normal and that there’s nothing wrong with that. Ahmed laughed at me when he heard of my problem; he adores John and thinks whoever John chooses to have should belong to him. Adam smiles bitterly when he says he can’t bring Ahmed to think differently than in terms of ownership. Ahmed, in turn, is trying to be more ‘western’ when in Adam’s presence. It feels as though Adam is averse towards the Arab culture, and Ahmed knows it, but I don’t know what may have caused that.

There is some kind of bond between Ahmed and Adam, not quite one of servant and master, although this is how Ahmed addresses Adam often in private. Something brought the two quite close together.

From what I have learned and deduced, Ahmed is a eunuch.

Ewelina

Na razie to wiele się nie wyjaśniło. Tyle, że Ahmed jest ... eunuchem a Eve lubi rozmawiać z Johnem ... co dziwi Joe?

AMG

Trochę się jednak wyjaśnia...

Jako eunuch, Ahmed mógł pełnić różne funkcje, nawet piastować stanowisko (wtedy odpadał problem dziedziczenia, stąd czasem były właśnie takie obostrzenia w niektórych miejscach do niektórych stanowisk).

Joe podejrzliwie patrzy na Johna, bo dla niego to wciąż Khaled - ten od całowania siłą i podejrzanych zamiarów...

Ewelina

Przypomina mi sie przysłowie ludowe "Zapomniał wół, jak cielęciem był" Tak jakby Joe nigdy nie całował dziewcząt. Znienacka czasem Wink

Co trzeci, drugi odcinek ... a reakcją Khaleda na ładną dziewczynę to się gorszy Surprised

Same domysły i wymysły Joego, kiedy więcej faktów? Wink

AMG

No to już same fakty. I wyjaśnienia. Duży wpis, więc kilka sporych części.

25.11. (Joe)

Yesterday John came to me and gave me some papers to read. I recognised Adam’s handwriting; John kept smiling at me in his smug manner, and only said, “You ask.”

Once I started reading, I couldn’t stop before I’d read all. It was about Adam’s life after the ship went down.

I’m starting to sort it out, now that I have calmed down. I read the night through, and cried – no, HOWLED the night through as well. It may sound silly as I write it now, I know, but whatever kept Adam going through all this cruelty – I can’t understand, I can’t grasp.

The shipmate associated with pirates. The desperate fight. The Arabic market – I never did and I never will understand how can someone sell PEOPLE – and how Adam must have felt. He writes the worst thing was the separation from his crewmates – he was bought (I hate this word, but this is the one Adam uses) by an Arabic sheikh by the name of Abdullah. The man seemed to ‘like’ him in some sick way, kept him like a pet, for pleasure.

Ahmed was his warden, and, indeed, he is a eunuch. Adam was given anything Abdullah could think of – rich clothes, golden jewellery – rings, chains, anything possible – pets, women. Then the first pet he really liked, Abdullah had it beaten to death in front of Adam. Adam writes the lesson was never to value anything or anyone higher than his master. Other than this one pet, he hated to use what he was given, wear the clothes, put on what was rich or adorned, never wore signet rings unless Abdullah forced him to; then, in fact, Ahmed forced the rings on his hands, almost breaking Adam’s fingers in the process; he never paid attention to the pets he was given, or the women offered to him. There is so much hatred and bitterness on those pages that, as much as I wouldn’t believe it, I still could – I know it sounds stupid, but I can’t express it otherwise – when I read the letters in black red saying that he had just slashed his wrists. The next page said they have managed to save him.

Abisha was the one exception to the rule of ignoring the women. He writes about her as though it was most natural that she was there. They fell in love, the child was born. All Adam writes at that time is filled with apprehension and outright fear of Abdullah. It was painful to learn how right he had been. One day, Ahmed just took her and the boy away, leaving Adam hateful, vengeful, and bitterly grateful he wouldn’t witness their death, as he knew Ahmed had the order to get rid of them – and that meant only one thing. The next page says that they have saved him again. For some time, he fell into disgrace by Abdullah for doing that. His writing is more relaxed then, when he expects to die soon and so be free.

Wiele jeszcze się nie wyjaśniło. Kim była dla Abdullaha Abisha? I pomyśleć, że Adasia kupiono na targu ... a potem był ... jakby pupilkiem domowym? ...

Coś, co trzymało Adama z dala od domu tyle czasu, to nie byle co.
Tak myślałam, że jak go nie utopiłaś, to na pewno mu umiliłaś życie Wink

W moim fanfiku by uciekł Razz

Ewelina

W fanfiku AMG, jakby uciekł, to by go trzy razy łapali i jeszcze na arabskie galery wzięli ...
Adaś jako zwierzątko domowe ... AMG, Ty, to masz pomysły ... nie takie złe ... czasem Rolling Eyes

Rika

Każda z nas na swój sposób go traktuje, takie prawo autorki - ale pomysł fajny.

Ewelina

Fajny?!!! Wspaniały!!! I jakże inspirujący ... do kolejnych fanfików Wink
