Is it too late?!

Awad called Mr. Aziz to fulfill his promise, which he postponed more than once, and it seems from Mr. Aziz's voice that he is very happy.

Awad felt great regret that he had never invited him. Mr. Aziz came on Friday, and the children ran over him and gave him a cheerful welcome, till Mr. Aziz felt that he was a real grandfather. The hours passed, and none of the children felt bored, nor Mr. Aziz. After they ate the food, they sat together, laughing and chatting, and then the children came with their toys to play with Mr. Aziz, and he sat with them despite his extreme tiredness, but he didn't feel any fatigue, but kept playing, and playing until he fell asleep with the children. When he wakes up, he found that Karim holding his hand tightly, and hugging him, he found a blanket on him. The lighting was very weak, and he saw from afar quiet music coming from the balcony of the house, Awad was sitting inside it, and he was drinking a cup of coffee when Mr. Aziz approached him, he found him listening to Omm Kolthom (a famous singer who became famous in the fifties)

Awad speaks to Mr. Aziz, "Did you wake up, sir? You seemed very tired, so I didn't wake you up."

Mr. Aziz replies, "It is true, I was very tired, but I do not remember when was the last time I slept so peacefully. I couldn't imagine that family warmth can make me feel like this until you came From nowhere and proved to be the opposite of what I lived my life for.

Awad asks him, "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?!"

Mr. Aziz answers, "I don't know. If I don't confess, I will contradict myself. If I admit that you are the correct one, I will spend my life and the life of those with me for nothing, and this will not change anything. There is no longer a lifetime to remarry and have children and live that life. I didn't tell you before, but I am sick with a chronic disease." My days in this world are numbered. I considered that this damned disease as my punishment for what happened to me, and I tried to commit suicide more than once. I don't want to stay to see myself in a position of weakness. Death is much better. The first time I tried to commit suicide was when you met me for the first time. I was going to throw myself out of that abandoned building. The second time I thought about suicide was in front of me Nile When Karim came to me, I told myself it must be fate. After that, I learned something, and I had to gather myself to face it, so you were the reason for my return."

Instead, in a warm tone, "But sir, there must be something else that you should realize. The idea is not only in the warmth of the family, but the warmth of life as a whole. When I first met you, you acted as if no one would do anything for free, and I don't think you changed your mind."

Aziz replied, "But he changed with you."

Awad asked him, "Sir, do you think of your nephew himself?"

Mr. Aziz replied, "Actually, after meeting you, what I felt most guilty about is that I raised him on the love of money and the rejection of social relations. The only value the values ​​is money only, but believe me, this is his nature before I raised him. She only grew through me. I didn't raise him for my brother, but to help me run my business…."

Silence Awad

"I didn't shut up. Do you think I'm a very bad person?"

Awad answers," I was thinking, how can we fix this?!"

Mr. Aziz regrets, "I do not think that it is easy to fix. With his love for money, he is without principles that govern it. Unfortunately, I didn't know that until recently, and I am trying to fix what he spoiled."

"Do you love him, sir?" Awad asked.

He replied, "Of course, but…"

Instead, warmly, "Sir, approached him. It is better to come late than never. I believe in that wisdom."

Aziz replied, "I will try, but I don't know how to do it I suggest Awad comes to visit them weekly, "Do you like it?! I don't want to be annoying, but I think your presence will make a difference."

"Wouldn't I be an intruder?" he answered eagerly.

Awad smiled, "Of course not. We love you very much, especially Karim. Ha-ha, talking about him. He woke up."

Karim comes and blames his grandfather for why he left him alone. Awad laughs. Mr. Aziz apologizes to him and tells him that he must leave, but Karim does not want that. He wants Mr. Aziz to sleep next to him. He tells him that he has a big bed that both of them can sleep on. Mr. Aziz apologizes again, and Sara interrupts them. She asks the grandfather to stay overnight and Awad supports her and insists on Karim the request, He acquiesces in the end. Karim takes Mr. Aziz's hand and enters his room and finds drawings hanging on the wall with his family, but what surprised him is that there are many drawings with him. He never thought that he would be affected to this degree, but it is clear that he has deprived himself of many of the enjoyments of life.
