The one silver lining in the dreary dullness which his existence had become was Farah Wahid, the young Arab woman from the Republic of Yemen. When a guy unsuccessfully hits on a number of ladies in a specific area, women quickly know of him because they share tales with each other just like men do. In no time Timothy the Montreal stud found himself Mister Unpopular on the Carleton University. The local women were determined not to give him any pussy and our Haitian stud was one frustrated brother. He wondered if the universe wanted to shine his balls a deeper blue. One person came to his aid during his semi-depression. Farah Wahid. As he got to know her, he discovered that they had a lot in common. Whenever Timothy envisioned a hijab-wearing Arab woman, he pictured them as quiet, repressed and boring. Farah Wahid LOOKED like that but what she looked like and the reality of who she really was were two different things. Two completely different things.
For starters, who really imagines a hijab-wearing Arab woman from Yemen as an avid fan of the NBA? Timothy discovered that Farah Wahid loved the Boston Celtics just as much as he did. She knew all the details of his favorite players lives. Ray Allen. Rajon Rondo. Kevin Garnett. Paul "The Captain" Pierce. And even has-been Celtics one-shots like Shaquille O'Neal and that punk Stephon Marbury. Timothy couldn't believe it. Not only was Farah an NBA fanatic, she also owned numerous NBA video games. Oh, and she was also a fan of Linkin Park, Jay-Z, Kanye West, and of course Three Days Grace. Wow. As he discovered these things about her, he looked at her with newfound respect and appreciation. He just couldn't imagine a woman from her part of the world as being into the same things he was. Oh, well. Now he felt stupid for assuming all Arab women were repressed, dull and boring. Farah Wahid was turning out to be a really interesting young woman.
Thanks to her help, Timothy Jean-Pierre actually passed the psychology midterm. He'd taken it as an easy elective and quickly discovered he'd bitten off more than he could chew. Thankfully, Farah Wahid came to his rescue. He got an eighty five out of a hundred for a psych exam. Oh, man. This was the first time he got a B in anything in ages. He was so happy when he checked the exam results on WebCT on the school computer that he excitedly grabbed Farah Wahid and swung her around. Now, big and tall Black guys grabbing and lifting hijab-wearing Arab women aren't something Ottawa people are used to seeing. And the numerous Arab male students sitting among the throngs of Whites, Asians and Black students inside the library stared at Farah and Timothy. The Haitian stud suddenly remembered what Farah told him about conservative Muslim women not touching men they weren't related to and apologized. She looked at him, smiled and gently touched his arm. She told him he didn't need to apologize. Timothy smiled and relief. Linking her arm with his, Farah told him she wanted to do lunch. Timothy grinned. What do you think he said?
Arm in arm, the big and tall Haitian man from Montreal, Quebec, and the short, quiet young Arab woman from Yemen walked through the quad, heading to the University Center. Timothy didn't know it but his life was about to change. For while he thought he was seducing Farah Wahid and wearing her down all semester, she was doing the same thing to him. And she did it with much greater finesse and effectiveness. For Farah Wahid had her eye on the cocky but dopey sweet wannabe player from Montreal. She could see right through him. He acted like a tough guy and a ladies man but inside, he was just a shy and insecure young man. Always eager to please women. Farah smiled to herself as Timothy looked at her adoringly. Oh, yeah. His fine ass would belong to her soon enough. For you see, people in the Western world forget that Muslim women are women like all other women. No matter where one goes, women are crafty creatures and no matter what men do, they're women's toys. Women choose the men since time immemorial and not the other way around. That afternoon, in front of the entire cafeteria, Farah Wahid shared a kiss with Timothy Jean-Pierre, her chosen one. While he fumbled for words, she silenced him and decided they would go to the movies together this weekend. And Timothy agreed because he's a man and she's a WOMAN and women run the show. And that's that, ladies and gentlemen.
