in a captivating home

He sits quietly in the large hall of the house with his cigarette in his hand that hugs his lips from time to time, looking at the emptiness, absent-minded thinking about the life he lives far from his parents who left him alone, unconcerned about his condition. How can a man and a woman who only have one son leave him alone? How can they give up on him? Why ? He could not answer the questions that revolved around his head, and he never found any excuse for them to leave him alone, and this is what made his hatred increase in his heart towards his parents. A nineteen-year-old young man left him when he decided to enroll in the Military College. He loves the uniform of soldiers and aspires to become like them. His parents refused this thing, but he insisted on his decision and remained stubborn until he joined the Military College and went with a group of young men accompanied by his cousin Youssef to training and exams for three months, when he returned he did not find his parents at home, they abandoned him They gave him the reins to himself, they left him alone only because he wanted to fulfill his dream, when they left he found a captor in his room

"My son, Asser, I do not know what to tell you, but I am not satisfied with your decision, and I do not want you to become an officer. I used to dream of raising my only son to become like his father, successful and excel in his work, to run my companies after me, but you destroyed all my hopes in you, so this will be your punishment. My son, you and your mother will be deprived of us until you reconsider your decision and leave your job to continue your studies and run companies with me and your cousin, and if you insist on your decision, I know very well that you will never see us, and you will go out of the house and will not get the inheritance, I will donate all my money to strangers when I die So, my son, I will wait for your decisive decision either all or nothing. Think carefully and you will know that I only want your interest because you are my only son, and I know very well that you did not and will not succeed in this business throughout your life if you continue in it, and there will come a time when you will not be able to help you Only to turn to me and ask for forgiveness and forgiveness, I know very well that you will fail in this task and you will not succeed, so do not oppose me, son, and give up these false dreamsAnd don't lose your parents, and if you insist on your decision, get out of the house and don't come back again.

Is there anyone who feels the way Asr feels right now? And the most powerful question is, are there parents like this? Why prevent him from achieving his dream? Why don't they support him in his decision? Why don't they stand by their only son? Meanwhile, Asser insisted on his decision more than before and left the house for good and went to live with his cousin Youssef, who welcomed him most warmly and they were like brothers with each other and Maria grew up among them to know that she had two brothers and not one, so she was considered Asser like her brother as well. He worked with the battalion and completed his studies and graduated from business administration, which he entered due to fulfilling his father’s desire to do so, but he remained with the battalion until he proved himself and became the most senior officer in the country. That surprises his father, who mocked and belittled him, so he was more insistent on his decision and did not back down from it, until he became captivated by something big in his life and the lives of others. Depriving him of his father and mother affected his personality a lot.

He did not know how long he had been absent-minded to interrupt his wandering one of his guards by asking permission for Joseph to enter him to allow him to enter. His friend sits next to him and says:

He said it while suppressing his laughter, so that Asser looked at him with a look that really means, and Joseph exploded with laughter, while Asser tried to calm his nerves so that he would not be reckless and teach Youssef a harsh lesson, but he held on and turned his eyes restlessly and said:

"You idiot, have you turned your scales and fell in love with guys instead of the girls you spend your intimate time with or what?"7

He ended his sentence with a frown, and Youssef let out a small laugh and added:

"No, my heart does not hurt, but I like to flirt with you."

He said his sentence as he danced his eyebrows to punch him, Captivating a light punch on his face as he looked at him with displeasure, Joseph did not speak, but only muffled his laughter, Asser hastened to ask:

"Then, how is Maria, why didn't you come with me?"

Youssef straightened his seat and said calmly,

"I went to her university. Other than that, there was something I wanted to talk to you about. I wasn't at home. I was with the captain in his office. He asked me to gather information about some young men who deal in drugs in universities and others, and the young men who They also smuggle weapons, he gave me their list of names and recommended that you be with me on this mission."

He finished his serious conversation, and furrowed his eyebrows and said,

"Why didn't he call me?"

He replied,

"He called you several times, but your phone is switched off. That's what he told me."

Asser shook his head understandingly to add,

"Looks like it's closed or no coverage."

Joseph replied,

"Yes, it seems so, so where shall we begin my love?"

He said his sentence with a smile, about to become a strong laugh, but he suppressed it while Asser looked at him angrily and rose from his place to teach him a harsh lesson that he will not forget while Youssef laughs hard at Asser who remains in a nervous state of his order and does not know why...

--------------------

In a place that pervaded the noise and loud noises, as usual, every time that called Sohail sat in the nightclub with three young men who belonged to his morals, deeds and vile deeds, while they drank until two of them reached a state of intoxication and no longer thought of anything but laughter and the incomprehensible words they uttered, Sohail turned to his friend who was sitting next to him and spoke:

I want to pay her for that slap she gave me

A mule with clear eyes spoke, and his friend smiled maliciously and said,

"Okay, but what are you going to do with it?"

Sohail Bushrud spoke: "I will humiliate her, I will steal from her what is most valuable to her, I will rape her."

He turned to his friend's face with his last words to smile a cunning smile and talk to him:

"Will we have a good share, I mean, will we share it? I'm sure that you don't mind, right?"

He finished his sentence, raising an eyebrow, and Sohail spoke sharply:

"No, you will not have a share of anything from it. It is only mine. I am the one who will touch her and take her virginity. I am only, no one else."

His friend murmured with understanding and spoke:

"What's wrong man, I didn't mean anything, well it ended as if I didn't say anything, forget about it, don't worry."

Sohail shook his head frantically thinking how he could kidnap her and where he would go with her, but when it comes to a young man who does not recognize his religion and does not have an iota of morals hanging around with bad guys, nothing will be difficult for him, but why did he get angry when he heard his friend's talk about sharing it? Why did you get angry? Why would he like to attack his friend severely? In fact, this is not the first time Sohail raped a girl with his friends. It is true that the girls counted on the fingers, but they used to share them and remain a victim of these dirty young men who do not do an account for their Lord. Sohail ended his evening while he was drunk and did not feel anything and only mumbled in the name of Shahd...

#A week after the events:

Wassim married Sumaya three days after that dialogue between him and Sumaya, and here Aseel came to live with her mother in her husband's house, and Sumaya feels comfortable and reassured with her new husband. He learned something about his treatment of her until now, but she is confident that her uncle Waseem will be the protective shield for her and her mother, while they are gathered together, the three of them at the dining table, and happiness is apparent to them, so Wassim enters the conversation, saying:

"Then my daughter Aseel, how are you studying?"

He spoke with a smile that never left him, and Aseel smiled in his face and replied:

"I'm fine uncle, I am now dying in many designs. I will be killed, I swear to you, but I do my best to be one of the superior."

He laughed at his sentence to add:

"I know very well that you are a hardworking and good girl, also you should raise my head, me and your mother, because from now on you have become responsible for me, and I want you to consider me your father exactly and everything you need, tell me immediately to be with you quickly."

She smiled at him gratefully and said,

"Thank you, uncle."

He shook his head with a smile to direct his eyes to Somaya, who was continuing the conversation with a smile, to wink at her and her eyes widened, and she wandered around the room nervously while trying to suppress his laughter as she was. He looks at her and laughs at her shyness and nervousness.

Well, Somaya got married and she is now happy with her husband and with her daughter by her side, she almost flies with joy, now I know what happiness is, now I know how to have a family, I felt that Aseel's father was really handsome and worthy of the trust she gave him but what about her ex-husband who is almost dying From his jealousy, wrath and anger, she never thought of him and never thought of him. Will Sumaya's life go on quietly as she painted it with Waseem, or a sudden change overwhelmed her, while Hisham is eroding from within and a fire is burning in his heart, he knows that she forgot him and also knows that she is happy with Her husband, but he will not be silent about her doing that, he will not let her live quietly, and he will not let her be for anyone else, but everything has its time....

-----------------

Sitting in his office on his chair with his head relaxed and his eyes closed, he thinks of his wife or rather his ex-wife, why did he keep loving her? Why couldn't he forget her? He has only tasted sleep a little since the day of her marriage, he knows all her news and her daughter's news, and knows all their movements, he cannot imagine her with him, all he could imagine her smiling at him and being with him, his heart almost exploded with jealousy and anger, he never loved his wife Ahlam but only married her For need, he only wanted to have a quiet and stable life, but he wanted this life with his ex-wife and not dreams, because she is a woman who loves demonstration and bragging in herself, loves power and money, and this is what prompted her to marry Hisham for his money in the past, but now she loves him, she was always afraid of Somaya That a day would come and he would bring her back to him, but she was very happy when she learned of her marriage, but now she has the biggest problem, which is Aseel, because her husband still insists on bringing her to live among them, but he is waiting for the right time.

Dreams of the office room entered him to smile at him and roll his eyes in boredom, she noticed his mood change, but she approached him and put her hands on his shoulders and said:

"Dear, what's wrong with you, I see that you can no longer stand to sit with someone, don't you miss me?"

She whispered her last words in his ear to fidget and remove her hands from him and rise to walk in front of her back and forth, while Ahlam could not bear it anymore, so she exploded and added:

"Hisham, what's going on with you, damn it, you're not what you used to be, do you love her, here answer me, all this change and coldness for this impudent poison.."

She didn't finish her sentence to get that slap on her cheek, she looked at him in shock to see him looking at her coldly mixed with anger, he approached her until his hot breath became on her face to say:

"Don't you talk about her, don't let me behave inappropriately with you, do you understand, and for my daughter, you will come to live with me against your nose?"

He finished his sentence and went out of the whole house, not knowing where, as for Ahlam, she became silent in her place, and thoughts revolve in her head to swear that even if his daughter comes here, she will see her in Hell and expel her from her house...

As for Hisham, he left the house, got in his car, and went away, not knowing where. He pulled out his phone to make a call:

"Listen to me, I'm not convinced by the idea of ​​her getting married. I want her to get divorced as soon as possible."

He spoke screaming and nervously, so that the other party answered him:

"Slow down, man, don't you hear me, we will leave her at her husband's for a short while, and in the meantime, you will take Aseel to you."

The caller spoke quietly while Hisham exploded from his anger and shouted at him:

“And damn you, don’t tell her husband, I am her husband, not him. Do you hear me, I swear to you that I will not rest until I release her from him and return her to my care? Do you understand and I am at my decision and you know me well?”7

Hisham calmed down a little so that the other party spoke to him:

"Okay, just calm down and don't do anything rash. We will do everything according to the plan. First, Aseel comes to you, and then Somaya, don't worry."

Hisham answered calmly,

"Okay, let's see."

He closed the phone in the face of the caller while he was driving at a crazy speed, while at the other end he is the same person who forced Hisham to stay away from his wife and desert her, and he is the same person who wants to destroy the relationship between them, so he will never let Somaya return to Hisham. To what he wanted, he called someone to answer:

"yes"

This was Ahlam’s voice to answer the other party:

“Listen to me carefully. If you want to preserve your husband, then pay close attention and get rid of Aseel in any way. If you need help, I am in the service. If you remove Aseel from her father, Sumaya will never accept to return to Hisham, because I would like to tell you your husband is seeking a divorce.” Sumaya from her husband to return her to him.

Ahlam was shocked by the conversation she heard to say:

"Who are you and what made you talk to me and warn me, do you know Aseel and Sumaya?"

The other party laughed at her conversation to say:

“Yes, I know them well, and frankly, I did not talk to you because your eyes are black only for my own good, and I know that you hate Sumaya and Aseel and you want to keep them out of your way, right, so listen to me carefully and do not be stupid. Do you understand Aseel, she will come to you soon and ..."

Tell her about the thing he seeks and how to follow the plan with him to listen carefully and understand everything to smile her malicious smile, while the other party tells her about the steps she will take and implement them as soon as Aseel comes, to be very happy with that vile scheme that they will implement against that girl.... .

----------------------

In Shahd's house,

that nice girl sits on her bed thinking about that young man who is threatening to harm her. She could not say anything to her parents so as not to cause them problems, but she was very afraid. He made it clear to her that he would not keep quiet about her actions with him, but that she would represent courage in front of him if he came back and blocked her way. All that crossed her mind was what he would do with her, how he would repay his right from her. She could not get his idea out of her mind, and she could not even focus on her studies. She was obsessed with what he would tell her that something bad would happen to her. She sighed hard as she tried to get those thoughts out of her head to hold on. On her phone, she called her friend Aseel:

"hello received"

Aseel's voice came to her to make you laugh at her words, and she said,

"What is wrong with your new life that made your tongue clean?"

She spoke between her laughter, and Aseel burst out and said:

"Damn you, you fool, nice words do not help you, but I should have greeted you with the title of goat's tail, fool, or scum, any of these terms."

Shahd laughed at her friend's talk, saying to her:

"What is wrong with you girl, I was joking, so how are you, and how is your new life? Are you happy with your mother and her husband?"

Aseel replied,

"Yes, you idiot, I'm fine and very happy, but what's wrong with you, your voice is not okay, has something happened? Say it."

Aseel finished her sentence with her brows folded, so Shahd sighed and said,

"It's as if you are in my heart, Aseel. In fact, I'm not feeling well. I'm afraid of that young man who threatened me. I feel that something is going to happen to me. I am very afraid."

She ended her sentence in a soft, weeping voice, to say Aseel:

"No, no, nothing will happen, do not worry, my beautiful, everything will be fine, and this scum will not be able to do anything. Trust me, and I will stay with you and will not leave you, and anything that will happen will happen to me too, because we will be together for a lifetime." 

Shahd smiled at the talk of her childhood friend and calmed down a little while Aseel was trying to get her out of her aura of fear and be brave and not afraid of anything
