صُورَةُ الْعَائِلَةِ
أَنَا لَيْلَى. عُمْرِي ٢٤ سَنَةً، وَأَنَا طَالِبَةٌ فِي جَامِعَةِ الْقَاهِرَةِ. لِي عَائِلَةٌ كَبِيرَةٌ، وَأُسْرَةٌ صَغِيرَةٌ: أَبٌ، أُمٌّ، أَخٌ، أُخْتٌ. وَلِي أَقَارِبُ فِي لُبْنَانَ.
هٰذِهِ صُورَةُ الْعَائِلَةِ. هٰذَا أَبِي، هُوَ طَوِيلٌ وَهَادِئٌ. وَهٰذِهِ أُمِّي، هِيَ لَطِيفَةٌ. أَخِي سَمِيرٌ شَابٌّ ذَكِيٌّ وَمَرِحٌ، وَهُوَ مُتَزَوِّجٌ. زَوْجَتُهُ مُدَرِّسَةٌ، وَعِنْدَ سَمِيرٍ ابْنٌ: طِفْلٌ صَغِيرٌ. وَهٰذِهِ حَمَاةُ أَخِي. أُخْتِي أَمَلُ عَزْبَاءُ، شَعْرُهَا أَسْوَدُ وَعُيُونُهَا خَضْرَاءُ.
فِي الصُّورَةِ جَدٌّ وَجَدَّةٌ. جَدِّي قَصِيرٌ، وَهُوَ كَبِيرٌ فِي السِّنِّ. شَعْرُ جَدَّتِي أَبْيَضُ، وَعُيُونُ جَدَّتِي زَرْقَاءُ. أَنَا حَفِيدَةٌ، وَسَمِيرٌ حَفِيدٌ حَبِيبٌ.
هُنَا عَمٌّ وَعَمَّةٌ، وَهُنَاكَ خَالٌ وَخَالَةٌ. عَمِّي مُطَلَّقٌ، وَخَالِي أَرْمَلُ، وَعِنْدَ خَالِي بِنْتٌ. هٰذَا زَوْجُ عَمَّتِي، هُوَ نَسِيبٌ لَطِيفٌ. وَخَالَتِي مُتَزَوِّجَةٌ، وَعِنْدَهَا أَوْلَادٌ، وَابْنُهَا تَوْأَمُ بِنْتِهَا.
كَرِيمٌ: مَنْ هٰذَا؟ هَلْ هُوَ أَبُوكِ؟
لَيْلَى: لَا، هٰذَا عَمِّي. أَبِي هُنَاكَ، عِنْدَ الْبَابِ.
كَرِيمٌ: وَمَنْ هٰذَا الشَّابُّ؟
لَيْلَى: هٰذَا أَحْمَدُ، ابْنُ عَمِّي. هُوَ أَعْزَبُ، لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ زَوْجَةٌ. وَهٰذَا أَخُوهُ، هُوَ طِفْلٌ.
كَرِيمٌ: وَهٰذِهِ؟
لَيْلَى: هٰذِهِ بِنْتُ خَالِي.
كَرِيمٌ: كَمْ عُمْرُ جَدِّكِ؟
لَيْلَى: عُمْرُهُ ٨٠ سَنَةً.
الْجَدَّةُ: يَا بُنَيَّ، الصُّورَةُ جَمِيلَةٌ!
