She smiled as she combed her black hair, which fell softly and delicately over her shoulders and looked at herself in the mirror. She was white-skinned beautiful and innocent in features her behavior made her closer to children even though she was over the age of eighteen.

She was like an angel when she smiled. Her smile could melt mountains of anger that lived inside you. She was spoiled by her father, especially after the death of her mother.

And after that fateful accident that affected everyone except her because she was young at the time She didn't know what was going on around her or what is happening , a child who is no more than two years old, how can she realize that her mother had died in that accident and that she, that little girl, has become a prisoner of this seat forever.

After the fateful car accident, Angel , a girl who was no more than two years old at the time, was paralyzed due to an injury to her spine.

But this did not affect her much. On the one hand, her father showered her with his kindness, affection and love. On the other hand she didn't mix with those of similar age to her who made her feel helpless. She lived almost isolated from others. She studied at home , under the supervision of Specialized teachers..

Angel picked up that small flower and pinned it to one end of her hair. She soon heard a knock on the door and said with a smile: "Come in."

Her father came inside and said, smiling as he leaned towards her and kissed her forehead: "How is my angel today?"

Angel said with a smile: " I'm good, What about you, Dad?"

He said, shrugging his shoulders: "Like always , work , work , work ."

Then he quickly smiled while winking: "This is what made me to quickly return to my precious little girl."

She said while thinking: "Dad, New Year's Day is coming soon and we haven't prepared for it yet "

He said quietly: "It does not require all these preparations. We will decorate the house in addition to buying some sweets."

She said quickly: "I don't want it to be like last year. I want it to be different and special."

He stroked her hair and said: "Well, what do you think will make it special this year?"

She said please: " Maybe invite my cousins to it"

Her father furrowed his eyebrows and said: "Haven't we talked about this topic a lot, Angel? ask anything but this."

She wondered: "Why? Every time she refuses to reveal the matter to me. I have not seen them since I was six years old, and after that I never saw them again."

He said as he exhaled sharply: "Don't ask me why, this is for your own good."

Malak said with hope: "How long, dad? How long? There must come a day when we will have to be with them. In the end, my uncle is your brother and his children are like your children."

Her father was silent, knowing that she was right , but he no longer visited his brother and all ties between them were severed and this happened twelve years ago.

many reasons prompted him to break off that relationship. the first of which was their insistence on his marriage but he would never though about bringing a woman To this house to be a stepmother to his daughter. he doesn't want her to feel disabled, especially when he knows his daughter's condition , he didn't want hurt her feelings and making her feel the reality in which she lives in.

The second reason is that they always remind him of his daughter's disability and try to blame this on her.

They always try to point out that she will not live like other people , without the ability to do anything, they look down on her for this life that she lives and they covet every penny she owns.

It's as if she doesn't have the right to live just because of her disability. They don't understand that she is his daughter, His whole life. If she asked for a star in the sky, he would bring it to her. That's why he doesn't want any of his brothers or their children to reappear in his life. He doesn't want them to hurt his daughter. Even with a word. She is an angel. Don't they understand?

(Dad, where did you go?)

Angel said this to pull her father out of his thoughts and he turned to her and said with a faint smile: "I am thinking about my dear little girl and what to buy her for New Year's."

"I only want what I told you"

He said, ignoring her phrase: "You know, angel. Today, while I was driving the car, I saw a jewelry store. I went into it and could not resist buying this for my little angel."

He said as he took out a necklace from his pocket and went down to her level and raised it in front of her eyes. Her smile widened as she glimpsed that golden necklace that was in the shape of a heart and inside it was a smaller, heart dangling in the middle. And she said happily: " Is this mine?"

Her father approached her and put the necklace around her neck and said with a smile: "What do you think ?"

She said happily: "Come closer to me, dad."

He approached her and said: "What's wrong?"

She fell into his arms and said: "I love you, dad, I love you"

Her father embraced her with great tenderness. as he thought of the unknown future that awaited his daughter, who knew nothing about the world.
