What a man has to do to get Zuleika's approval? EVERYTHING 🤣

Zuleika be like:

So I have another theory about TDR.

1. Does anyone know how old Jaffar is?

2. Because my theory is that he could be Zuleica's son. I know his father served in the MC family, but he could have been adopted. I can't quite explain it, but Amy leaves very little hints. About the fact that Adil and Jack could be brothers convinced me when Jack found out about Yasmin's relationship with Adil, he thought of his brother. In the case of Jaffar, we have Saed, who, when he joins Yasmin's group, is taken care of by Jaffar. They immediately clicked as if something connects them. We know that Saedd is apparently the child of someone influential. And after we learned about Zuleica's backstory, I think it could be a clue to the fact that they share a similar fate.

3. Also they both have a brown eye, but it's not so unusual.

4. Also I am adding that according Amy Yasmin is under 23 and Jaffar over 30 and Zuleika's child is 12 years older than Yasmin. 🤔🤔I don't think it's a coincidence.

Just finished TDR and we had no dialogue with our babies.. So i just had to do this.

**********

Nafisa crinkled her nose as the Sahara's sun burned in the sky, it's rays waking the sleeping babe from her deep slumber.

She opened her deep blue eyes, searching for either of her parents before waddling out of the room towards the kitchen. Her mother stood with her back to her child brewing herself some morning coffee. Nafisa called out to her mother, making her turn around and gather the sleepy cuddly child in her arms.

Resting her on her hip, she returned to her previous task as the little one snuggled into her mothers warmth, resting her head on her shoulder and wrapping her tiny arms around her neck.

Noor began humming the song Adil and her had first sang in the square, a testament of their love, she held another testament in her arms, one that was getting heavier as days went by. Suddenly she was joined by a low voice, a drum accompanying the melody as Nafisa giggled, squirming excitedly as she saw her father.

Noor turned around, making a silly face at her daughter, bobbing her up and down in tune with the song as Adil reached them, the babe putting one hand on his broad shoulder and pulling him towards the duo so that all three of their heads rested close to each other.

Noor looked at her husband with adoration and respect at the way he was with his child, his own childhood had been so scarring that he often worried how his cold detached self would ever show affection to their child but that all dissipated as time with Nafisa went by, steadily she healed him, both of them to become better than their own pasts and leave it behind, learning to carry each other forward.

The song ended as Nafisa clapped in joy and her parents cheered and laughed. She launched into her father's arms, gently patting his cheek with her palm, one that he captured in his hand and kissed.

The moment ended as Adil passed his daughter back to his wife as he fixed the turban on his head, readying to leave. He travelled most days either to the Bedouin establishments or the city, specifically the meat shop. He kissed both their foreheads before leaving. However his daughter's eyes pooled with tears seeing him leave as she tried to cling to him and accompamy him.

It broke his heart to see her tear stained cheeks but he soothed her, promising to read her so many tales when he returned. Still crestfallen, she agreed reluctantly and waved sadly at the white horse her father rode into the distance.

To cheer her up, Noor decided to take her to the Bedouins, they all enjoyed entertaining the little rebel that often ended up having her own adventures much to the dismay of her parents. Noor began understanding Zuleika from a new perspective but Zuleika would only laugh saying that she now had a shaitaan of her own to keep up with.

As they reached the settlement, Nafisa took off in the direction of the familiar setting as her mother warned her to stay within eyesight.

They were greeted warmly and enjoyed their time before retiring to a tent for respite from the midday sun. Nafisa rested against her mother who slowly drifted off to sleep.

Nafisa was too excited to sleep, she removed herself from her mother's embrace and ran out the tent to Zuleika. On the way, she saw a colourful beetle making it's way through the sand. It's shiny green coat sparkled in the sun as she gazed in awe. But the moment she neared it, she beetle sped up, she meant no harm she only wanted to see it's beautiful colours closely.

Thinking she could explain herself, she followed the creature over the dunes. She finally caught the insect in her palms, inspecting it, she delightedly turned around, eager to show her mother what she had found.

Her eyes only saw sand and sand, spread across the horizon, she had drifted too far along from the settlement! Her cheeks flushed with emotions and fear coursed through her as tears pooled in her eyes.

***********

Noor sighed as she walked to Zuleika's tent knowing she would have Nafisa with her. However, she was surprised to see that her wet nurse was busy reading fortunes and hadn't seen the child since the afternoon.

Noor's blood turned cold and she rushed out, calling out and almost pleading to the fellow Bedouins to tell her her child's whereabouts. Everyone was just as shocked and dismayed, Madi hurried to start looking but how could they really know? The sand left behind no trail to follow and the desert knew no master.

Rajab left to get Adil, after all no one knew the desert as well as he did. Noor herself started out in a different direction, her heart crumbling in horror and desperation as her eyes scanned the dunes searching for her treasure.. How could she have been so careless? She felt sick with worry, she prayed the desert would be kind, terrible thoughts plagued her mind, image upon image settling before her eyes as she cried in anguish.

She returned unsuccessful, she hoped Madi had better luck but one look at him left her defeated. She saw Adil's horse and the moment she found him, she broke down throwing herself into his arms.

"I.. I lost her! She's nowhere to be found.. Oh.. My baby.. Where is she? Find her.. I beg of you.. Find her. " She looked at her husband who himself had a look of horror and pain, his eyes teary as he comforted his wife.

"Qalbi.. Calm down..You didn't lose her. I won't return until I've found her. I won't let her be hurt. I promise."

He mounted Nadim and headed off as the sun began it's everyday course to sink as the desert would be covered in darkness. Noor shivered wondering whether her baby was cold and freezing.

************

Adil rode through the sharp wind, his eyes searching and searching. After what seemed like hours of screaming put her name, he decided to take a breather, he sat in the sand lost, not knowing what to do next.

He sat, his hope ebbing as the sun descended further down, he began walking, the desert could very well be cruel if she pleased. He began singing, almost wailing the song they had sung that very morning, his voice a silent plea to return his child. He continued humming when..

"Qalbi.. " He heard a scream. He yelled back, in return he heards more screaming.

"Here, I'm here. " He waved the fabric on his turban in the restless wind.

He fell in the sand as he got closer, when a little dot in the periphery turned into his very daughter. Her hair were ruffled, her dress worn but her face held the most exquisite expression.. Joy. Relief washed over him as she neared and crashed into him, her hands gripping so tightly, her knuckles turned white. He felt tears rolling down as he held her but soon she began squirming.

"Don't cry..Look what I have. " She held her hand out which glowed, she opened her fist to reveal the biolumiscent bug scrambling in her palm. He touched the creature and it went into a frenzy.

"Gently." Nafisa chided. "Can we keep him? " She looked at him with hopeful innocent eyes and how could he ever say no to her.

He picked her up and placed her on Nadim as they walked back, sometimes talking about their days, sometimes singing and sometimes discussing what fun things they were going to do the next day.

**********

Noor sat outside the tent, her heart hammering amd Zuleika comforted the young mother. She herself was beside worry along with all the Bedouins who sat in silence, waiting.

Suddenly there was so much activity, Noor jumped up gasping, running towards the approaching camel and everyone was buzzing in excitement.

Adil handed her to Noor who clutched her tightly to her chest all the while mumbling shukran to no one in particular.

She looked sternly at her daughter, scolding her but her return washed over all of that as she looked at the little one's new friend.

"Oh! You shaitaan! You troublemaker! I shall age years at a time! " She voiced as her husband only laughed. They knew they couldn't hold it against her, after all she was her mother's daughter with a penchant for adventure.

She showed Zuleika her bright friend whose only response was.. "Dear god..The mothers and daughters of this family.. "

Nafisa was asleep soon enough, she was cleaned, bathed and fed. She slept in between her parents as her bug was placed in a big jar with a whole to allow him to breathe, she even poured it some water and left a few morsels for it out of her meals.

Adil stared at his wife and smiled before commenting. "She takes after you. "

"Yes, yes her father's no less either. " She retorted, rolling her eyes.

"I meant her kindness. "

"Even in that, you are no less." After a moment of silence she continued." I'm beginning to feel I did maybe trouble Zuleika a little too much.. "

So about The Desert Rose, hear me out!

I don't know if y'all are familiarized with it but there's a show from Brazil called O Clone and many people related it with The Desert Rose the first time they heard about it... With the story already released, we can see there isn't actually many similarities between the story and that show, there is some influence like Jack and Yasmin having history together and Jack being similar to Lucas or Leo in personality, Zuleika having similarities to Zoraide, the setting and some aesthetic things but that's about it and there aren't any more similarities.

The thing is, I've read the interviews with the writer (Amy G.) and she doesn't seem to like her story being seen as similar to O Clone. However, it's a bit difficult not to do it because the setting is exactly the same (Morocco-Brazil).

So if the writer didn't want people to unconsciously relate The Desert Rose with O Clone, why did she choose the exact same setting? In her interview, she said she chose Brazil because she had to pick a Western country to contrast with Morocco, she said she thought about the US but that'd be too overused (or something similar, I don't remember the exact words) and then she said she thought about France but France and Morocco share some background and it wouldn't be that different (again I don't remember the exact words). And that because of that she had no choice but to pick Brazil. But by doing that, she's making people relate the show with the story and she doesn't want that...

So I have a solution for that: Germany!

Why didn't she choose Germany? Germany is a Western country, German and Moroccan culture are strikingly different and Germany also fits very well in the context of viruses research and scientific research, because according to Google, the raw output of scientific research from Germany consistently ranks among the world's highest so it wouldn't be strange to have some German scientists researching the virus. I can't help but think Germany would have been perfect for it and no one would have related The Desert Rose with the Brazilian show if the story had been set in Germany-Morocco. Moreover, it would have been a very interesting combination, but anyway, it didn't happen and now it seems like a wasted opportunity.

What are your thoughts? Would you have liked to see the story set in Germany-Morocco? Or do you like it as it is? (Also posted it on the new RC subreddit if you prefer to discuss it there)
