       ‘’Ouch! Who did that!’’ the angered yell heard of Joseph from nowhere. He was nervous that it mightbe hit by the stone he threw to a wolf that scared his flock. He searched the owner of the voice only to find the lady sitting on the ground. She was busy checking the wound in her right knee; her hair was covering her heart shape face. He wanted to kill himself when the girl raised her teary face. ‘’oh you must be an angel such a beautiful angel’’ he whispered. The soft groan of the lady brought back his senses. ‘’I must rude to you, it is my fault I should have let the wolf eat my sheep than throw the stone’’. He explained. The girl was shocked of his appearances, she was afraid of the stranger, she rose from the ground and run as fast as she could but Joseph didn’t let her, he was faster than her. ‘’Look I’m sorry I didn’t meant to hurt you please, let us talk’’ he begged. ‘’Okay I wasn’t hit by the stone nor hurt by you, I was stumbled because someone might tie the rope, I didn’t saw it’’ she said but then turned away. ‘’Wait! May I know your name young lady? He asked. ‘’My name is Guizel what yours? Asked her’’. Well, my name is Joseph why don’t we sit and talk for a while don’t worry I am not a bad guy,I will do no harm I promise’’ said he. Then they sited on the big stone. ‘’by the way are you the eldest?’’ Guizel asked. He smiled before he said ‘’I am the youngest sons of my father Jacob, I have eleven siblings’’ he said. ‘’You know I am willing to listen in your story why don’t you share it to me anyway, we are not a stranger anymore from each other’’ she encouraged him. ‘’You know I always dreaming, if it’s not too much to say I am good in interpreting dreams, I always dreamed which always happened. I told this to my father and to my brethren. I loved telling them what is in me but’’ he said while sadness was shown in his eyes. ‘’what was that sadness for? You are blessed I can see’’ she said with sympathy. He took a deep sigh then added, ‘’my brethren seems unhappy being with me around, just this day I was sent by my father to go to them in sachem but they weren’t here, they always change their venue whenever they heard I will come’’ he said. ‘’you know I always dreaming of having siblings, many siblings to be played of that would be interesting right?’’ asked she. He smiled to her and said, ‘’it is, indeed it is especially if you love them, I wanted to spend more time with you but I’m afraid I can’t, I have to look for them’’. ‘’it’s okay, you go ahead I’ll be fine here’’ she said softly. ‘’hope I could see you again, you put some herbal on your knee okay?’’ then he rose, he was taking his two steps when he stop and faced her ‘’ahm… one more thing please be careful next time’’ and left a bone melting smile. She walked with a smile in her lips. Joseph went to the place where the old man told him but when he reached there he was victim by his brother’s plan. They sold Joseph to Potiphar and brought him in Egypt. They tore the robe of Joseph and gave it to Jacob, they made him believed that ‘’we just found it on the road’’ one of the brothers said to Jacob. He laments the loss of his beloved son. One day, when Joseph was passing down the hall, he was invited by his master’s wife to sleep with him but he refused for he respected his master and he knew it was the right thing to do. The wife of his master was hurt and he accused him of mocking her. She in prisoned him. Joseph was loved by his God and he made him prosperous. One day, a knocked on the door awakened Joseph, he opened it only to shock by the view in his front, and it was Guizel holding the tray with her both hands. Guizel was mesmerized too. ‘’you?’’ they said in chorus. ‘’what are you doing here? Where is Sebashti?’’ asked he. ‘’nice to meet you again he is my father in case you didn’t know, he is working here as one of the assistants of the king’’ said she. ‘’ahhm but where is he? I mean why it’s you who bring this? You’re not a maiden here I know’’ he asked again. ‘’I always helping my father if I am finish working in our house hold chores’’ she answered. ‘’ okay so that’s explains, it is really a surprise to see you here too bad you see my situation, I don’t want you to see me miserable’’ he said. The lady was smiling sweetly enough to make him wonder what was on her smile that he felt comfort. She said to him ‘’ I was told about your case, I know you are a good man Joseph’’ he loved the way Guizel said his name it was soft in her lips no it was more on a caress. ‘’because if you are not the son of God you wouldn’t be the first who stay here because of the queen’’ she added. He chuckled and said ‘’I presume that was a complement’’ then laughed he was amused by the frankness of this lovely lady, his eyes were smiling too as he reached the tray she was holding. ‘’thank you for this you are a good daughter blessed is the man who would marry you, I suggest you to go back your father must looking for you’’ he said with a smile on his lips. ‘’and please mind the rope if ever’’ she was laughing as she remembered their first meeting. It was music in his ears. He was just finished his meal when one of the guards entered. He was called by the king, Pharaoh had a dream and only Joseph can interpret. The dream of the king told that that there would be famine symbolized by seven thin cattle and prosperity symbolized by seven fat cattle. The day that the dream of Pharaoh came true his family went to Egypt to buy food but Joseph was good at heart he didn’t sell the food instead he gave it to them then gathered them in Egypt. His brethren asking for forgiveness he forgave them. The biggest day of Joseph’s life came it was his wedding with Guizel as they kneeled together and exchanged I do’s the crowd cheering, everybody was happy. They were blessed with two sons they named them Massaleh and Ephraim. Guizel was rocking their youngest son when she noticed him standing, with his back on the door his eyes were staring with love she smiled to him, he was handsome as the first time she met him, forever she would cherished him.
