Separating doubt and reality ( Memories from a lifetime ) Mary story

Mary is surprised to see Mr. Aziz, she knows at this moment that he is the one who saved her, but how could he know where she is.

Mary was in a bad psychological state that did not allow her to think well, so all she wanted was to know the truth, she thought that Mr. Asim was the reason for what happened to her

Mary Said, "Mr. Asim, how did I get..."

Mr. Asim interrupt her, "listen to me"

Mary, "okay, I will"

Mr. Asim, "did you think that you could deceive me easily?"

Mary, "what!"

Mr. Asim, "do you think that a man like me would not have known what you intend to do?"

Mary, I don't understand

Mr. Asim, "what is your plan to take revenge on me, I read your diary, you are really like your grandfather"

Mary knows at this moment that Mr. Asim has known everything, and it is possible that he is behind it all"

Mary, "then you came to finish what you started, you came to destroy me, as you destroyed my family!"

Mr. Asim, "your family! what family are you talking about?!"

Mary, "my father, my mother, and my grandfather, you were the reason for the separation of that family"

Mr. Asim, "truth has more than one face"

Mary, "I read my grandfather's diary, and knew from my father that, you stole my grandfather's money, and ran away with my mother, leaving her alone in the end."

Mr. Asim, "if I didn't love your mother, I wouldn't have tried to commit suicide"

Mary, "maybe the temporary feel of guilt"

Mr. Asim, "then, what satisfies you?!"

Mary, "to see you miserable, and alone"

Mr. Asim, and you don't see that I am not! Among all these lies there is one thing that is true, and that is my love for your mother"

Mary, "you are a liar"

Mr. Asim, "No, I'm not lying, I know very well that you love to read, go to that next room, and read what's in it, and then come back to me again, I'm waiting for you"

Mary felt very strange, what would she read there, but she went to that room as Mr. Asim told her

When Mary entered the room, she felt as if she had entered it before, and when she looked closely, she found that it was similar to her grandfather's hidden room in the old hotel, such as the type of furniture, and the way it was arranged.

What baffled her even more, was that she found a diary, and when she opened it, she found her grandfather's handwriting, so she knew at this moment that those diaries belonged to her grandfather. Mary sat down to read those diaries, in which she might find the answers, that were waiting for her, her grandfather's books at the beginning of the diaries.

"I have not written for many years, and I am happy to write again. I will try to summarize what happened to me in those years"

Shams ran away, and all my ways to find her failed, and the disease took hold of my body, because I was in a very bad psychological state, in the beginning. David helped me with everything, and I felt like a son to me, but that treatment started to change after I lost hope that Shams would return, or especially that when no one is next to me.

I never thought that David was like a snake, no, that the snake was a hundred times better than him. After I got sick, David was very close to me and treated me like his father, but this treatment did not last long. After he asked me to make a general power of attorney to manage the affairs of the hotel, he took advancing and sold it to himself.

That day was one of the worst days in my life when he took me by force and threw me in the basement room because he knew that there was no one to ask about me, the only person that take care of me was Othman, my gardener, that was without knowing David, I would have died immediately without him.

David took all my money, threw my all precious things on the street to get rid of everything that concerns me, and he withheld my medicines to I die quickly, but Othman did not leave me like this and tried as much as possible to take care of me, but he was not that rich so that he could pay for my treatment expenses. My health worsened and paralysis reached my entire right side, and I could not move at all.

David used to come to me to vent his anger on me every time he lost his money in gambling, I never knew he was Addicted to gambling, after it was too late, Shams must have been right, when she told me that, I had made a bad choice in forcing her to marry that person, but all I expected was that she was trying to avoid marrying him no more than that, but I hated her so much, after all, she ran away with another man and left Her husband, or that's what I thought.

After a few months, David told me that he divorced Shams and that he would travel to start a new life. He told me that he would throw me in the street because I was a burden to him. To be honest, I didn't care about anything, except that I would rest from seeing that hateful face. He actually threw me in the street, but Othman took me to his house at that time. He and his son Fahd took care of me, I was not speaking at all, and I was crying every day inside me, and praying to God to relieve me from this torment, till that day came, Asim came to me. I did not believe my eyes at first, but I hated that I could not speak. How is my daughter at that moment? I hated illness and my disability, but what I hated the most was the look in Asim's eyes. It was the look of pity.

Asim approached me and told me, "Don't worry, Shams is fine, and you will see her soon and her daughter Mary."

But that damned disease prevented me at first, I thought that Mary was the daughter of Asim and Shams, but then I knew the truth.

Asim took me with him, and rewarded Othman with a huge amount that he put in his bank account, and took his son to work as his assistant.

Asim admitted me to the best hospitals abroad and tried to treat me in all ways. It was true that he rarely came to visit me, but he did not hesitate to help me restore my health after several surgeries. I had regained some of my health, but I was not able to talk.

After I recovered part of my health, Asim came to me and asked me to calmly understand his words

He told me that there was a big misunderstanding after he sat with Othman, and told him about what I thought that he ran away with Shams, but he told me that, that never happened, and that he had indeed met her, but she ran away from him a few months ago, and that she told him that she had returned to her husband, and that was for the benefit of her daughter, and that is why he came to ask about her,

I was happy, miserable, and regretted it at the same moment. I was happy that Shams did nothing wrong and did not run away with a man other than her husband, I was very sad when I found out that she came back to that time, and regret that I did not agree to her marriage to Asim, he sure loves her and still loves her.

Mary read all the diaries, but they were only five. Mr. Jalal died after Asim's desperate attempts to reach Shams, but that was without success. Mr. Jalal died without meeting his daughter or granddaughter, but he acquired a real son, Asim

Mary knew the truth, but there were still questions inside her, so she went to Mr. Asim

Mr. Asim, "are you done?"

Mary, "yeah, I'm sorry but…."

He interrupts her. "Don't be sorry. If it wasn't for these diaries, you wouldn't believe me. Your mother wouldn't like to write. But you're like your grandfather. You write your diaries."

Mary, "yes, but when did you see her?"

Mr. Asim, "you mean the diary, I didn't see it, I was lying to you so that you would listen to me, and reveal everything inside you."

Mary, "but I have many questions"

Mr. Asim, "you mean the other half of the truth, to be frank with you, I saw your father talking to you for the first time at the old hotel, but I never wanted to interfere in this matter, because I thought he wanted to get close to you, but I never thought that he would lie to you in that way. Othman told me everything, I did not steal Your grandfather's money never, I started my life from scratch with the money I saved, from my work Your mother is my only love, what else do you want to know?!"

Mary, "how did you know about Jackpot?"

Mr. Asim, "do you think I am not following you?"

Mary, "I don't understand"

Mr. Asim, "you had better ask, why Harry apologized in front of everyone to you"

Mary looked stunned

Mary, "Harry! how do you know him?"

Mr. Asim laughed, "I know him very well, and I know how annoying he is"

Mary, "please tell me the truth"

Mr. Asim, "as I told you, I follow you well, but I noticed that you did not go to university for a long time, so I sent someone to inquire about this, I knew what happened to you because of me, so I taught him a lesson, I incurred huge losses after taking over many trades

But that's because he didn't listen to me when I asked him to calmly apologize to you"

Mary, "but That loss made his father ill. He became paralyzed"

Mr. Asim, "this does not mean anything to me. I had to teach him a lesson to stay away from what concerns me, but you are sorry for him. This is unreasonable after what he did to you. He did not even stop there, and he was the reason for what..."

Mr. Asim stops talking

Mary, "why you suddenly fall silent? what was the cause of it?"

Mr. Asim, "he is the one who put Jackpot in your way, so that he can take a picture of you, and send the pictures to me so that he can take revenge on you"

Mary is stunned, "what?!'

Mr. Asim, "yes, it is true that the photos are in this envelope, but that idiot Jackpot tried to….."

Mary, "don't continue please, I understood everything, he must have wanted to blackmail me and he was hired"

Mr. Asim, "NO, Jackpot is actually very rich, but this is not our topic, what do you want to do now?"

Mary, "I really don't know. I dissipated all my thoughts, that I'm sorry"

Mr. Asim, "don't be sorry I will send you for the real training to a friend of mine, Learn everything well so that I can put you in the right place, and if you want anything I'm here"

Mary, "thank you, Mr. Asim, but like you, I want to build my own life. You helped me enough, but I want to rely on myself from this moment on."

Mr. Asim, "OK, do what you want, but I will protect you. This is the will, of your beloved mother to me, and I cannot leave it."

Mary, "as you want Mr. Asim"

Mr. Asim, "Mary, I want to tell you something, do not live alone like me, if your mother was alive, she would want you to live with the one who loves you. I preferred to stay alone because I never wanted to give up your mother's love"

Mary looks at a picture from afar in which Mr. Asim embraces a boy who appears to be thirteen years old

Mary, "but you seem to have completed your life without her"

Mr. Asim looks at the picture, "that it is not my real son, I did not give birth to him"

Mary is embarrassed and tries to finish talking, "I think you are right; I will try to arrange my life Thank you"

Mr. Asim, "I wish you well, just enjoy life"

Many years passed and Mr. Aziz was watching her from afar till she became one of the most famous managers.

for her intelligence, management, and quick intuition. Mr. Aziz never expected that he would need her, but that day came.

Mr. Asim called her, and asked her to meet him, Mary agreed immediately

Mary, "were you ok sir? I am very happy to see you"

Mr. Asim, "yes, thank you. You are already famous. Everyone praises you for your good management"

Mary, "yes, that's true, but after time, I'm bored. I want to change my company, and try another field of business"

Mr. Asim, "then do you want to work for me?"

Mary, "can I, really?"

Mr. Asim, "yes, but the company will be new, and my son will have to start from the beginning"

Mary, "I want to try this, as long as my boss told me that there is no credit for me and that the company was fine without me, but if it was a big company, then I will be able in this case to prove my existence"

Mr. Asim smiling, "perhaps he said this in order to prevent you from leaving him, Mary. You are very famous, believe me"

Mary, "I think that the opposite has happened, His lack of recognition of my work, and abilities made me want to quit"

Mr. Asim, "my son never wanted to work with me, but he finally agreed. He went through many unfortunate things, but I really want him to forget everything he went through. I will wait for you next month. You know the address, right?"

Mary, "yes"

Mary finishes all her belongings in the old company and goes to Mr. Aziz in his house. Mr. Aziz takes her to Khaled, and introduces her to him, then tells her Mr. Aziz, "That is Khaled, whom I told you about. He will be your boss"

Mary is silent for a while and feels that her heart is beating just to see him, and she does not know the reason. She tries to control herself and says to him, "Welcome, Mr. Khaled. I hope we will adjust well at work."
