After everyone went to sleep, the house became quiet and silent, everyone in his room pretended to sleep but was thinking, (Amal) couldn't sleep, so she decided to enter the kitchen and prepare for herself a cup of hot milk, but she heard a voice from the door attached to the kitchen, she felt scared, so she grabbed a wooden hand for the kitchen Big, and slowly headed to the door and suddenly Mr. (Ali) entered and fell on his head with the wooden hand?!
She held cotton and antiseptic in her hands, treating the wound of Mr. (Ali) which she had caused for him، while he is silent looking at her...
She said worriedly: Sir, are you okay?! I swear I didn't see you because it was dark in the kitchen.
Mr. (Ali): There is no need for much apology, the place was already dark, and I am at fault for entering like this, which frightened you.
There would be swelling on his forehead, she came very close to his face, blowing into the swelling, and he looked at her directly in her eyes, she stopped what she was doing, she looked in his eye as well, and she did not move, they remained like this for a while without moving either of them, until he said: (Amal)...
She turned away from him in shyness, placing her hands on her neck, and he quickly grabbed her hands and brought her close to his face again, looking into each other's eyes.
He said again: (Amal) .... Don't move, just stay like that.
?!!!
While outside the kitchen someone stood, not believing what was happening?!!
_______
since the kitchen incident two days ago, (Amal) and Mr. (Ali) do not face each other, and they avoid each other....
Mr. (Ali) daily reproaches himself for his stupid childish act when he asks her "Don't move, just stay like that?!" ... How did he allow himself and his mind to do this stupid act?!!
While (Amal) does not know why she always remembers this moment when her heartbeat was racing, as if in a restless race, looking into the eyes of Mr. (Ali), she could not move against her will?!! ...
Until they both stopped looking at each other when they heard the drowsy voice of (Souad) entering the kitchen to drink water, and she was surprised to find that Mr. (Ali) was injured there...
"(Amal)...(Amal)" said (Adam), who was sitting next to her in the park.
He continued: (Amal) What do you think completely absent these two days?!
(Amal) hesitantly: Nothing... just celebrating the New Year is approaching, with exams approaching, a little tired.
(Adam): Are you celebrating the New Year?!
(Amal): Of course not, but you forgot that I work in a house that celebrates it?
(Adam): Ah.. I remembered that every year my uncle's company would prepare a huge celebration for the New Year, and it was my uncle's wife who supervised everything.
(Amal) interrupted him: (Adam) ... How was Mrs. (Amany) your uncle's wife?!!
(Adam) laughed, saying: Why are you wondering?!
(Amal): Just curious to know how Mr. Ali's wife was?!
(Adam): She was great in everything, a woman that every man desires in his house, kind, tender, beautiful and tidy.... She stood next to my uncle in adversity more than bliss, and she was the biggest and strongest supporter of him in everything, her love for her children I have never seen Even with me, she was like my mother and more... She never separated me from her children in anything. My uncle really loved her and grieved for her separation.
(Amal) was silent for a while, then said: She died of cancer?!
(Adam) sadly: she knew that she had cancer years ago, but she did not tell my uncle about her illness, as she thought that it was a simple thing that would go away from the treatment, and at the same time my uncle's company was suffering in an important case, so she did not want to tell him, I knew then by chance that she was ill....
(Adam) turned his back as he sighed in sadness, remembering: I wish I hadn't known at the time, I wouldn't have been so sad?!
(Amal) looked at him surprised: What do you mean?!
(Adam): Because I saw how she was suffering alone, how she was in pain...so I couldn't stand it and left her.... I was a coward, so I left her and went to (Australia), but I didn't know that she would die so fast.
(Amal) looked at him with pity and sadness, and put her hands on his hand placed next to him, saying: She must have deserved all your grief for her?!!!!
