Chapter 12
Arafat: - There is a solution, God willing. I have a brother who was staying with me here in Jenin, but he died in an accident with his wife and son. As for his daughter, she disappeared and we did not even find the body. It is possible that we can go out instead of losing her papers, so that you carry an ID and you can work with it.
Mary: This is an honor for me, of course, but God willing, when I find my family, I will go back to them and get my true identity back
Arafat: - Of course
After Arafat finished talking to Maryam, he told her to call Al-Qasim. Mary left him and returned to the house. On her way Al-Qasim was heading to the garden to check on her. She told him that his father was asking for him to come, then she continued on her way looking for Bayan to sit with her. As for Al-Qasim, he completed his way to his father, then sat next to him
Arafat: Praise be to God, she was the one who initiated the request to go to the hospital and help
Al-Qasim: I knew Abu Al-Qasim would agree, but I did not expect that she would take the initiative, and now what do we do for the sake of identity?
Arafat: Go to our neighbor, he is a lawyer and he has sold the papers we need in the hospital
Al-Qasim: Well, I will go now. I will not be late. The situation in the news indicates that the situation is dire. Then I went to the hospital in the West Bank to start helping, and you, when the lawyer finished, brought Maryam.
Arafat: I will not wait for the lawyer to finish. She can work in the hospital here now until her papers are extracted. As for me, I may distribute most of the doctors we have, so I will come with them.
Al-Qasim: Well, we rely on God
Al-Qasim went out to the lawyer, then Arafat went to the kitchen and found him in it and told her that he would wait for Maryam in the car and she had to tell her to hurry to get off, but as soon as he turned around he found her standing at the door of the house ready
Mary: Come on, Abu al-Qasim, there is no time for this world
Arafat smiled: Come on, my amazing daughter
Together they went to the hospital, and Arafat introduced her to the departments again, and alerted the doctors and nurses that she was now Maryam Wajid Al-Din, his niece.
Days, months, and even years passed, during which President Arafat was martyred, elections were held, the authority was divided between Fatah and Hamas, and the Palestinians began to disperse into parties and factions. The Gaza Strip became under the administration of Hamas, while the rest of the Palestinian territories were under the administration of Fatah. Among the Palestinians, Arafat's relative could not find an address or anything indicating about Mary's family in Britain. As for Maryam, she continued to work as a doctor with a Palestinian identity in Arafat Hospital next to Al-Qasim, and her wounds were slowly healing due to the weakness of her body. The relationship between Al-Qasim and Maryam also strengthened and they became friends.
Mary stands in the doctors office, changes her clothes, ready to go home. He knocks on the door and al-Qasim asks permission to enter
Al-Qasim: May I come in?
Mary: Glory be to God, look who asks permission
Al-Qasim: Neither is this surprising nor that, the important thing is, I will take you a ride before returning
Mary: May I ask where? Your Excellency's mother will be angry, as usual, from my many questions
Al-Qasim: I am not angry at your questions, Mary, but you are treating me as if I am a thief or an intruder. When will we get to be a h… I mean a friend
Mary with a laugh: - Tell a brother, don't worry you too
Al-Qasim: Brother, brother, you know, come home, you lost what I wanted to do
Then he walked out of the room, shutting the door behind him in anger that almost broke it from the force of the impact
Mary: Oh, father of anger, I do not know how his beautiful favor could give birth to this mass of anger
Mariam finished dressing her clothes and then went out, following him to where the car was parked, and found him standing with his back on her
Al-Qasim: Finally, the lady of goodness and beauty ended and came
Mary: Of course I am. Oh man, I'm only two minutes late
Al-Qasim: Thirty minutes, come to the car before I change my mind once. second
Maryam: Glory be to the changer of conditions
Maryam got into the car and Al-Qasim sped off until he reached a large building that is considered a shopping mall, then he signaled her to follow him. And inside her she feels happy, for Al-Qasim and his family treat her normally and do not make her feel the distortion that she has become, and what increased her love for Palestine in general is that everyone treats her with love and no one even hints or asks about the cause of the deformity, so Al-Qasim entered a store of electronic devices
Mary: What are we doing here?
Al-Qasim: I want to replace my phone and I hope you will give me your opinion
Mary: All right
Maryam started watching several phones of different types and companies. Of course, there is no phone that is the same as the one she had and it disappeared at the time of the accident, but she liked one. Then she remembered that the salary she gets from work will not bear to buy it, in any case, she indicated to the denominator to buy it, then she sat away from him watching Other phones or pretend that she is doing so that she does not feel what is going on in her mind, as he has understood her a lot from the looks of her eyes, moments and the denominator approached and extended his hand on the phone, speaking
