Consequences Of Love by S Addonia

Under the hot sun, the Jeddah streets make a scene from an old black-and-white movie- the women dressed like long, dark shadows and the men in their light cotton tunics. Naser s friends have all left town for cooler climes but he can t get away- he s an outsider in Saudi and he needs to hold down his job at the local carwash. During his time off, he sits beneath his favourite palm tree, writing to the mother he has left behind in Africa and yearning for the glamorous Egyptian actress he hopes to meet one day. It s hard to adjust to a world that puts up so many barriers between men and women- walls in the mosque, divider panels in the buses and veils on the street. Naser feels increasingly trapped, not least by the religious police who keep watch through the shaded windows of their government jeeps. A splash of colour arrives in Naser s world when, unexpectedly, a small piece of paper is dropped at his feet. It is a love note, from a woman whose face he has never seen and whose voice he has never heard. She tells him that she will wear a pair of pink shoes the next time she passes so that he can pick her out from the other women in their identical black abayas. Erotic tension run
