On Friday

Awad "Come on, lazy cats, what is delaying you like this?"

Malak laughs

Awad "Well, I will tie it for both of you."

Malak "Me first"

Karim "No, me first"

Malak "I asked first"

Karim "I am the youngest, my father said that first care is for youngest one"

Awad "Wait because she is older. She should have compassion on you, but even you're young you are still a man, right?! So, you should take care of your sister"

Karim "So, what is the solution? Dad"

Malak "What is the solution?"

Awad "I'll tie it to you both of you at the same time"

Malak "How is that?"

Awad "I'll take one shoe from you, and one shoe from him, and link them at the same time"

Malak and Karim laughs

Malak "No, dad link it to him first, I am the oldest"

Karim "No, dad link it to her I am man"

Sara is watching the situation from afar

Sara "My head, come to Karim your mom is going to tie it for you"

Awad laugh, "I have been peacefully resolving Conflict"

Sara "Don't forget to close the windows, and shut off the gas valve"

Awad "Ok, my love I will"

Awad took his children, as he promised them to the amusement park, and then they went for a walk on the banks of the Nile so that, they could enjoy the wind, and ate grilled potatoes. Awad stood watching the Nile, He was carrying Aseel, she was the one who wanted to see the Nile very close.

Aseel "Wow, dad. The Nile is very deep"

Awad talks to himself, "It is beautiful, and scary at the same moment, I only feel near death when I look at it"

Awad "Ok, who wants roasting potatoes"

Children at the same voice "I am"

Sara and Awad keep laughing

Awad "Stay here, and I will bring it for you all

Karim "Dad, I want to go with you"

Awad goes to buy potatoes, and when he goes there, he finds the old man sitting alone in front of the Nile, but he remembers what he did to him in the hospital, and ignores him. Karim was watching that old man from afar, as he was not used to seeing a very Oldman sitting alone, he often finds their children or grandchildren with them, so he paid his attention. When the old man stands up his wallet felt down. Awad was busy with the potato seller, Karim ran to him to catch up the wallet and give it to him.

Karim "Grandfather you dropped this"

The old man "Grandfather! No, one calls me that"

Karim "My father told me to call the old mans this

The old man "Well, you are a nice boy, so take this"

The old man gives him some money

Karim "Thank you, but I can't accept it"

Karim "My father taught me, not to take anything from strangers"

Old man laughing "Didn't you called me grandfather?!"

Karim "Still, I can't accept it"

At the same time, Awad turns around, and doesn't see Karim, and started to look for him

"Karim where did you go"

"Karim, Karim"

Kareem yelling "Dad I'm over here"

Old man "Is your name Karim? What a beautiful name"

Awad "Why didn't you hear the words, didn't I tell you not to leave my hand, and not to talk to strangers?"

The old man looks at Awad and seems to be very surprised, "what a strange coincidence" The old man said "Is your shoulder, head okay, now?"

Awad "Yes, what about your head is it okay, now?"

Old man "Yes"

Karim "What is this, do you know my dad?"

The old man "Your father is a hero, he saved me from death two days ago"

Karim "LOL, my father is a hero"

The old man "Well-raised, he is just like you"

Awad "Thank you, it was a pleasure to meet you"

The old man "Wait, I want to apologize, for what happened to me before, I was in a bad condition"

Awad "Don't be sorry, I understood you well"

Old man "Take this"

Awad feels disappointed, and The Old man still showing off his money

Awad "Again, what is it?" The old man interrupted him

"It's not what you think. It's a free trip to my resort at Hurghada"

Awad "Sorry, but I won't accept this"

Old man "Why?!"

The old man "Look first. It is a free trip, publicity for my new resort. You are not the only one who will take it, it is a group of invitations for advertising"

Karim "I want to see the sea. I have never seen the sea before. Please"

Awad "Karim"

Karim "Please, Dad"

Awad "Ok, I will accept this, thank you"

Karim "Thank you, grandfather"

Old man "By the way, what's shall I called you?"

Awad "I am Awad, and you, sir. What is your name?"

Old man "am Mr. Aziz"

While he was away, Karim was watching Mr. Aziz from afar

Karim" Why that grandfather sitting alone"

Awad "It is possible that he doesn't have a family"

Karim "Then, after all, He is like us"

Awad "How is that, Karim?"

Karim "I don't have any grandparents, and you don't have parents, and he also has no children or grandchildren, so we are likely, but I feel sorry for him, at least we have each other, but he has Nobody."

On their way to Mr. Azizi Resort Awad and his wife was talking, and their children were sleeping because they didn't use to travel those distances

Sara "You did, what was in your head, now This trip cost us a lot"

Awad "It's free"

Sara, "Are you joking with me, right"

Awad "Sara, stop talking about money. Just have fun. I'll take care of the rest. Did I break my promise before? Karim's words affected me a lot, and the fact that we never took them to the beach even once it parted my heart"

Sara "Well, I will not overcome this sweet talk"

Awad "So, did you forgive me?"

Sara "How can I not forgive this warm heart?"

Sara knows in her heart that Awad is right in what he says, but she is also the one who saves. She knows how much they need money. But his words affected her a lot.

The bus arrived in front of the Resort, and they all got off to take their bags and belongings.

"Welcome to Blue Sky Resort. We wish you a happy stay"

Awad went to finish procedures, Arriving and receiving the rooms, and at that time Karim saw Mr. Aziz from afar talking to several people and ran towards him.

Mr. Aziz talking to his staff, "I want everything to be perfect, everyone who is negligent will be dismissed, you all are useless."

Karim "Grandfather, grandfather, I didn't know that I would see you here, I am very happy"

Mr. Aziz "Karim, have you arrived?"

Karim "Yes, take this, I made it for you"

Mr. Aziz "What is this?"

Karim "It is a tie to keep your wallet so that it doesn't fall from you again"

Mr. Aziz laughing "Thanks a lot, what a smart boy you are, Let's go to your father."

Mr. Aziz takes Karim and goes to welcome Awad and his family

Mr. Aziz" I am happy that you accepted the invitation, I hope you have a comfortable stay at the resort"

Awad "Thank you. This is my wife Sara, and this is Dr. Malak for What is going to be? And this is .... Mr. Aziz laughing

Mr. Aziz interrupts Awad in speaking, "Sweet Karim"

Awad "Have you memorized his name?"

Mr. Aziz "How can't I do that?"

Awad leaves Mr. Aziz and goes to their rooms. That day they couldn't do anything but sleep, but they started the next day from the beginning.

The sun disc glowing in the sky, the sounds of sea waves crashing, the laughter of children on the sea and the fresh air breeze at this moment Awad family were enjoying that. The free vacation, which they have always wanted, and Mr. Aziz sits alone in front of the sea and watches Awad's family in silence.

Karim speaks sadly, "Dad, Mr. Aziz is sitting alone again"

Awad "What should I do? sure he wants to be alone."

Karim "Bring him to sit with us. He is alone"

Awad "No, I won't. I don't want to harass him"

Karim "So, I'll go sit with him. I won't leave him alone."

Awad "Karim... Karim, come here"

Sara says smiling, "Does he remind you of anyone?"

Awad says, "What?"

Sara "Nothing it's just like you, when emotion comes the mind goes"

Awad laughs, "is this the right time? Well, we'll discuss this at night"

Awad goes to Mr. Aziz

Karim "Grandfather, Can I sit with you?"

Mr. Aziz "Yes, of course"

Karim "Do you still have the tie?"

Mr. Aziz "No, I keep it in a safe place as a gift from you"

Karim "Why don't you wear it? I don't want your wallet to fall from you, and there is no one to bring it to you, you are always alone. I will make something else for you to keep it as a gift but use this."

Awad "Karim, didn't I tell you to come? I am very sorry, Mr. Aziz, for disturbing you. Karim stops being annoying"

Mr. Aziz "No, he entertained me a lot. Mr. Aziz

Karim "So, come with us. Grandfather, we will fish

Awad "Karim"

Mr. Aziz looks like he wants it

Mr. Aziz "Are you good at fishing?"

Awad "Yes, sir. It is my favorite hobby. It teaches me patience, and makes me meditate well"

Mr. Aziz "I also love it"

Awad "If I am not intrusive, may I invite you to sit with us"

Mr. Aziz "Of course I will be happy, but come to my yacht it's much better to fish there"

On a yacht, seems to be very expensive. Children sit and watch their father and Mr. Aziz hunt. Sara sits and watches them in silence. Mr. Aziz tries to know more about Awad, as he aroused his curiosity every time see him.

Mr. Aziz curiously, "So Awad, did you inherit that kindness from your father or your mother?"

Awad is silent

Mr. Aziz feels intrusive. "Sorry for the intrusion. I thought that talking wouldn't make us bored

Awad tries to evade the question, "No, not at all, but I…"

Mr. Aziz gets embarrassed and tries to get out of the situation.

Awad responds in embarrassment, "I am an orphan, in a more accurate sense, I've been abandoned since I was born

Mr. Aziz "Sorry, to hear that"

Awad "Never say that God has compensated me with a wife, and children who are a gift from heaven. I am very happy in my life"

Mr. Aziz "You know Awad, When I look at you I feel jealous, I gave up everything in the past to reach what I am in including people who loved me, but look at me, I own everything you can imagine, but I do not feel half of what you feel. Don't you love money and power?"

Awad "who doesn't love them, but I love my family much more. Life is a choice. You have to choose what you most like, and give up the rest. But sir, if you could go back in time, what would you choose?"

Mr. Aziz "I would choose money and power"

LOL Awad laughs. "You must love it very much. You want to have everything, and this will not happen"

Mr. Aziz laughs "Yes, this is true and who doesn't want"

Karim "Grandfather, my father beat you, he caught ten fish, and you are only three"

Mr. Aziz "The fish must love your father more than me."

Everyone's laughing

Sara "Come on, enough talk to grill This fish I'm starving."

Malak "Let's take a picture first, and call it a family with the fish."

all laughing.

Children "Wait, I want to sit at my grandfather's leg, and me too"

Mr. Aziz feels so warm he never knew before. He never expected that he could feel happy in the family

Some of the Resort employees watch what happens in the yacht, and whisper to each other that they have never seen Mr. Aziz laughs like this before, and although there is no blood connection, they do look like a real family, Although they know that Mr. Nader, his nephew, will never like it.
