Adnan

I am Adnan Pasha, a hot-tempered and generous man from Upper Egypt. I share burdens with others, both wisely and fiercely. I am as cold as ice and incredibly cruel; I have never loved anyone in my life. I am single and 20 years old, but I am constantly fighting with my cousin Aya. Despite her stunning beauty—her snow-white, smooth skin, her blue eyes, her strawberry-like lips, her cherry-like cheeks, and her hair as black as night—Aya and I have been fighting constantly since childhood. She is the only one who isn't afraid of my anger, even though she is a very delicate girl. I hate her intensely. I sit in my room, reflecting on my life, and I laugh at Aya to myself, whispering that she is quite crazy. Note: Adnan and Aya are both Muslim; they are Arabs.
