Fatuna Tal Al-Karaimi
The eyes of the people of Tal al-Karaimi stay awake to enjoy the voice of the gypsy Ostafa Fatouneh every Thursday evening, and eagerly await the appearance of Mariana, the dancer of the troupe that Fatouneh carefully chose from among the women of the Seven Hills.
The light of the clubs paints Maryana’s body white, and she emerges on the seated with a half-moon face looking down from the top of the wide terrace on which the band stands.
Fatouneh describes the intensity of the boy’s love for the girl and the father’s cruel decision to deprive his son of drinking the cups of love and to marry him to a girl from the hill girls so that the gypsy gets lost.. Mariana the gypsy writhes in pain and dances to the rhythms of Hakim who entrusted her with the recommendation of Fatouneh and brought her from Farawley Hill to help her meet the needs of her injured daughter He has been suffering from a mental illness for a long time, and doctors have been eager to treat him.
The sheikh of Tal al-Farawliyya descends upon Fatouneh’s desire to employ Mariana’s husband in Tel al-Begway. He also entitles Mariana to work in the morning in the sheikh’s large tent, so that the beautiful woman can devote herself in the evening to the teacher and her non-stop nights, distributing her alternately among the seven hills.
The children of Tal Al-Karaimi ask the teacher to repeat the song to increase their enjoyment of the beautiful dance, so that the rhythm of Hakim's solo increases, continuing with Mariana. Fatouneh begins to sing for the fourth time for one song, until the beauty is about to fall.
Mariana took the decision to stop dancing with her husband, Khalaf Al-Mazayky, who became the special guard for Sheikh Al-Bajway. Mariana became the manager of the large tent and raised her position until all tent matters were in their hands, from hiring workers to dismissing them from the hill oasis owned by the sheikh.
Fatouneh saw the bewilderment in Mariana's eyes, so she raised her hand, signaling to continue so that the people of Tal Al-Karaimi would not turn against them and lose her beloved audience.. Fatouneh dropped her henna-dyed headdress, which turned red, coloring Mariana's face with intense exhaustion and excessive sweating, and blood erupted with might and main from the veins of her beautiful face.
On this night, Mariana will be frank with Ostafa Fatouneh and stop her on the decision, so she is no longer able to work all day in the morning in the large tent and in the evening with the band that finishes its work after midnight every night, so there is no time left for sleeping or caring for her little daughter, with whom the husband exchanges treatment.
Hakim saw the pain in Mariana's face, so he increased his rhythms to finish the dance, but she fell faster, and El Osta declared her decision to start Fatouneh's long search for a new dancer for the troupe.
