Mr. (Ali) came to an old café in front of the sea. He used to sit in it with his friend who had attended a few moments before him. He pointed to him, and (Ali) went to him with a smile: How are you, (Adel), you appeared old.
(Adel) answered him with a laugh: We do not enjoy your handsomeness, Mr. (Ali), we are among those who age quickly.
They joined each other friendly and happily...
After a while of having some tea and bringing back some memories, (Ali) said: What is your problem with (Neven Radwan)?!
(Adel) smiled as he looked at his friend, saying: So she took a serious step in the matter?
(Ali): So what's wrong?!
(Adel): Of course there is something wrong?
(Ali) approached a face while (Adel) said: Not long ago, quarrels began between us over no reasons. If I mentioned them, you would have said that they are meaningless, I was prejudiced at first, then it became exhausting to the point of giving in to her request..
(Ali): But we are talking here about a partnership of millions, and not a simple thing?!!
(Adel) pulling a breath from his cigarette in anger: What should I do then?! , tied her to a chair to complete the partnership?!!
(Ali) looked at him a little quietly and then said: How did this matter come to this, (Adel)?!
(Adel) understood what (Ali) was alluding to, so he smiled grudgingly and said: This was in the past, (Ali), and it is over.
(Ali): You think?!
(Adel): I am sure!
(Ali): So why are you staying by her side until now?!
(Adel) laughed bitterly as he lit another cigarette: There is nothing between us anymore, in our youth it was stupid of me to continue to love her, despite knowing her love only for you?!!

Marwa's phone rang and she answered hesitantly: What is there (Wael)?!
To hear angry (Wael) voice: Where are you now, lady?!! Don't you see you're too late?
(Marwa): So what?! Are you a kid afraid to be alone?!!
(Wael): There is no need to be sarcasm, it is already late and it is time for dinner. I go home.
She gasped in anger, "Okay, okay... I'll be back in a little while."
And she hung up the phone, while pointing to the waiter to pay the bill, she found someone pulling the chair in front of her sitting on it, saying: Where to so fast?!!
Surprised, he said: (Adam)?!
He kept looking at her with fixed eyes, which increased her anxiety and tension, the waiter came putting in front of (Adam) a cup of iced coffee and then left....
He grabbed the cup and removed the water that had accumulated on its edges from the snow. She said nervously: What are you doing here?! Looks like .... you seem to be a known customer until the waiter knows your order!!
(Adam) quietly without looking at her: I asked him when you were talking to Mrs. (Nevin), and I asked him to bring it as soon as she was gone.
She pulled back tufts of her hair, with a trembling hand, trying to hide it behind her ear. She says, clutching her bag: I'm late and I have to go home.
(Adam) with the same calmness and steadfastness: Why did you do all this, (Marwa)?! What is your purpose behind this action?!
She sat again and said: I didn't do anything... you...
He interrupted her saying sharply: You did it before, and you are doing it now, and you will continue to do it?!!! Aren't you tired? Don't you reach the point where you say enough is enough?!
(Marwa): I don't understand what you mean?!!
(Adam): You understand very well, (Marwa), I am tired of your dirty tricks, do you think that you are the only one with cunning and brains?, if I put you in my mind I will really hurt you.
To say she in anger: What is stopping you then?!! scared of what ?!
(Adam) laughed sideways, saying: I am not afraid of anyone, and I can do what you cannot imagine if I wanted to, but what keeps me leaving you until now is my relationship with my uncle and his son, who unfortunately is married to a woman like you.
(Marwa) sharply: (Adam) Save your manners, all for that maid!!!!
(Adam) looking straight into her eyes without hesitation: It's for me...just me.
He sipped his iced coffee a little and then said: This is your last warning, and I swear to you that if you try to play with me again I will make you regret it.
He got up from his place, so she stopped him and said quickly: As you did with (Sarah)?!
He clenched his fist in great anger, then turned to her, saying: You don't know anything about what happened, so don't play the role of smart people to tie things together, and advice to you never to be like her, for she has perpetuated everything that brought her to what she is..... where she deserve it.
Then he left...
His last sentence stunned her, especially "she deserves it"?!!!!!!
