Ali listened intently as Omar began telling him about the love of his life, Faten.
For him, she had converted to Islam and their life was blissful. Perfect. He had a perfect wife, a perfect family. Then, he got promoted and went overseas for a job.
After a while, his performance made him well-known. People sought after him. Flinging money at him. He saw his family less and less as he dove into work. He had been so engrossed with earning money for his family that he neglected the very people he was working so hard for!
How ironic.
It was only after his wife filed for divorce that he woke up.
From a dream, to a nightmare. No matter what he did, he couldn't salvage the situation. His wife was adamant and distant, while his children loathed him. He fell into despair.
Just as he signed the divorce papers, he drowned himself in work.
Yet ... miracles of miracles, three months later, the love of his life came back.
