LOGINNaomi pounced on Adel with a frenzy of kisses. Adel could not resist her insatiable desire for intimacy, and they plunged into a torrent of kisses, fast and greedy, until they collapsed together onto the sofa. Yet Naomi showed no mercy; she continued the relentless stream of her kisses. Then she rose, reached out, grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, and walked ahead of him, swaying, into the bedroom. Adel followed, pulled along. She switched on the light, pushed him onto the bed, and lay on top of him. They surrendered together to a passionate sexual encounter.In Adel’s chalet, Nilly emerged from the bathroom and entered the bedroom. She stood before the mirror, her demeanor suggesting she was preparing for a sexual encounter with Adel after having refused him yesterday. A few minutes later, she left the room and found that Adel was not in the living room. She noticed his phone on the table. Moving toward the door, she opened it and looked outside—Adel was nowhere to be seen. She
In Chalet No. 11, Nilly and Adel were sitting in the living room; each of them occupied a separate corner. Adel sat there, lost in thought, thinking about Nilly and Naomi—about what the two women might have been talking about—and wondering whether Nilly would turn out to be like Naomi.Meanwhile, Nilly was sitting in the bedroom on the rocking chair, thinking about Naomi.Adel stood up and headed toward the bedroom. He entered the room, stopped in front of Nilly, and said, “You were late at the beach.”Nilly replied, “I was sitting with Naomi.”“Naomi?” Adel said.“Yes,” Nilly answered. “I had to talk to her after I learned about her illness. We’ve been friends since childhood. Even after the problems that happened between you, that doesn’t prevent me from standing by her in what she’s going through with this illness.”In Chalet No. 9, Adam and Naomi sat side by side, while Yassin and Laila sat next to each other at the dining table. They were sharing a meal in a calm, romantic atmosp
Naomi burst into laughter, a peal of carefree mirth, and Adham laughed with her. Then he plunged into the water and began to swim out into the sea, while Naomi and Nelly stood watching him. He swam so far that he nearly disappeared from sight when he reached a point deep and distant from the shore.Nelly said, “Adham seems so elegant in the way he speaks—and he looks like a very skilled swimmer as well.”Naomi replied simply, “Yes.”A few minutes later, Adel stepped out to the window again and stood there, gazing toward the beach. A cup of coffee was in his hand. He murmured to himself,“Night is drawing near… what could they possibly be talking about for all this time? Still, it’s good that Nelly is saying goodbye to her friend before her death. She wished for that.”Down on the shore, Nelly said, “I’m feeling cold, and night is approaching. I’m going back to the chalet. And finally, Naomi, I hope you forgive me, and I wish you a good life—one filled with better health.”“Thank you,
Nelly stood frozen in place, her gaze fixed on Naomi—who did not see her yet. She stepped closer, stopping directly in front of Naomi without uttering a word. Surprise flickered across Naomi’s face.Nelly said softly,“Hello, Naomi.”Naomi replied with a smile,“Hello, Nelly.”“I thought you didn’t want to see me,” Nelly said.“I did,” Naomi answered calmly, “but after I learned the truth about my illness, I realized I have no time left for conflicts.”“I feel deep sorrow and compassion for you,” Nelly said, “after learning about this cursed disease that has struck you. But there is still hope for treatment—I believe that.”“Thank you,” Naomi replied. She lifted the bottle of wine and took another sip.“So… you’ve forgiven me for everything that passed?” Nelly asked.“What doesn’t pain me is leaving Adel,” Naomi said quietly. “I was the one who left him—so that you could enjoy him.”“You can enjoy your new husband as well,” Nelly said gently. “He seems wealthy and elegant.”“He is, in
Nelly rose and stepped out of the bedroom into the living room. Adel was sitting on the chair, grief etched across his face, tears streaming down as he wept. When he noticed Nelly, he lowered his gaze. She placed her hands gently on his head, then moved closer and sat beside him, surprise evident in her features.“Adel… are you crying?” she asked softly.She drew him into her chest and said in a trembling voice,“What’s going on?”Adel replied in a low, broken whisper, his words dissolving into sobs,“I met Naomi… and she confessed everything.”Nelly said quietly, with a calm she had carried for a long time,“As I told you before—I would never lie to you. Naomi never loved you. Not for a single day.”Adel wiped his tears with the back of his hand and murmured,“I learned everything today.”He stood up and went back into the bedroom. Nelly remained seated on the chair, her thoughts drifting to Naomi. Then she whispered to herself:“How I pity you, Naomi, in these final days of yours. I
The next morning, Naomi left her room. Adam was asleep in his chair in the living room. Naomi looked at him, then went to the chalet door, opened it, and went out, closing it quietly. Adam woke up and opened his eyes. He got up and went to the door, opening it. Naomi was approaching the sofa in front of the chalet. Adam smiled and said, "Good morning, Naomi." Naomi stood up, looked behind her, and said, "Good morning, my love." Adam said, "Why did you leave so early? Do you want to go to the beach?"Naomi said, "No, I'll sit here on the sofa and breathe in the fresh air." Adam said, "Good. I'm glad to see you well. I'm going to go to sleep. I haven't slept since yesterday." Naomi smiled and said, "Sweet dreams, my love." Adam went into the chalet and closed the door. Naomi sat on the sofa next to him, breathing in the fresh air.As for Adel, he heard Naomi's voice, which he knew well, and he heard Adam's voice. Seeing his neighbor, he noticed that Nili was still asleep with her eyes c
