(Amal) entered Mr. Ali's office room after he asked (Souad) to call her...
To enter the room with tired, errant eyes, wearing a mask on her face?!!
Mr. (Ali) said surprised: Are you sick to this degree?!!
She shook her head without answering, and said in doubt: Could you take off your mask, please?!
She shook her head again "no" but he went to her and grabbed the mask and took it off, she tried to stop it but he quickly took it off to see her mouth swollen, and her face...
Bubbled his eyes said: Who did this to you?!
He tried to put his hand on her face, but she backed away, tearfully: Nothing, I'm fine, a slight injury.
(Ali): How do you say it simple, your face is completely swollen?!! Who did this to you?!
He approached her face again, and put his hand on the place of her injury, she kept looking at him pretending to be strong, then hugged him crying hard?!
He kept holding her without saying anything or even stopping her, he kept holding her more while she cried more..
Until she calmed down completely, she straightened from her seat while he looked at her, pulling her hair back!
She said between her tears: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be like this, especially in front of you, but I didn't control myself.
(Ali), looking at her with pity, said: It's okay...how are you ? better now?!
She got up to look at herself in the mirror next to the room's door to find her red, puffy eyes, and she said ashamed: I hate that I appear weak in front of anyone.
Mr. (Ali) smiled while saying: I know.
(Amal): But perhaps the tenderness you show me always makes me comfortable with you...
He was pleased with her saying this, but she continued: You are a wonderful father, I wish you were my Dad!!!!

Everyone went to work while (Nevin) (Marwa) and (Tollin) stayed at home, talking about anything, until they heard a loud voice coming from the kitchen, so (Nevin) asked sarcastically: What is this sound? Is there a party sitting in the kitchen?!!
(Marwa) called on (Souad) and (Amal), who were both happy, and she said (Marwa): What is the secret of this sudden happiness?!!
(Souad), looking at (Amal), said: The results of the tests appeared, and (Amal) got a high score, so that she could be admitted to the Faculty of Medicine while she was as comfortable as she wanted.
(Nevin) said sarcastically: Really!!
(Marwa): So the result of (Tollin) and (Sherif) has appeared, right?!
(Tollin) got angry from the place, while (Nevin) remembered her son and she also called to find out what he did?!!
________________
Everyone gathered in the evening in the hall of the palace of Mr. (Ali) to celebrate the result, with (Tamer) (Adam) and (Sherif) ...
(Adam) jokingly said: What's wrong with you (Tollin), I don't see you sad about the result?!
To say (Tollin) indifferent: Why am I sad ?, I succeeded and will enter a university, and this is what is important.
(Tamer) jokingly commented: Just as I expected, thank God you succeeded.
She ran to him to hit him and he ran after his laughing.
Then Mr. (Ali) addressed his words to (Sharif): Congratulations on your success, I heard that your total is much higher than (Tollin).
(Sherif): Thank God, I was really afraid that the private lessons I took would not be of any use.
To get (Tollin) to catch her breath, saying: This boy cheated on me managed to get this total while I...
Mr. (Ali): That's because you were taking it as a joke and not seriously.
(Tollin) sat next to him in childhood saying: But this will not prevent you from bringing me a gift, the car that you promised me.
Mr. (Ali): Of course, and can I forget... (Then he addressed his words to (Sharif) saying) By the way, where do you sleep these days, (Sherif)?!!
So (Sherif) looked at him with astonishment and said: In my house, of course!!!
So (Nevin) quickly: In his friend's house until the villa is finished repairing.
And she sent a signal to her son, who said: Yes, my friend's house.
Mr. (Ali) laughed sarcastically saying: Send my regards to this friend of yours then.
Then (oSuad) and (Amal) entered carrying sweets and juices for the guests, and they put the things on the table, then (Souad) said: Mr. (Ali), won't you bless (Amal)?!
(Adam) stood in front of (Amal) saying: Congratulations on your success (Amal), I expected this from you.
Then suddenly hug her in front of everyone?!!!
_______
He stayed up all night unable to sleep because of her phrase "I wish you were my father"..
Remember how angry he was when he saw (Adam) hugging her?!!
He said to himself, How could he allow his stupid late teenage emotions to make him think otherwise?!! She is at Tollin's age and sees him as a loving and affectionate parent...
He allowed himself and his demon to think of her about something else, so he resolved this time not to listen to his feelings, his heart to control, especially at his age?!!!!!
