There will never be a lover but you ( Memories from a lifetime ) Aziz story

Asim took the shock like a thunderbolt, anyway, he got used to those shocks. He tried to find her, but she completely disappeared without any news

Days and years passed, and Aziz grew up, and all his companies and property grew with him. He was able to reach everything he wanted.

Mr. Asim was sitting in his office when he received a phone call that went quickly like a mad man.

Mr. Asim arrived at the hospital, and ran jogging to that room where his beloved Shams lay!!

Unclear features of a woman in her forties who looks emaciated, and sallow. Her hair is falling due to the severity of the disease. He only recognized her from her look at him.

Mr. Asim approached her, and sat next to her,

"My love, are you ok?"

Shams respond to him in a faint voice, "Yes, you are still called me your lover."

Asim, "there will never be a lover but you"

Shams say, "after everything I did, after I left you alone, you still say that am your lover"

Asim, "and if you leave me a thousand times, you will still be my only lover. Don't worry, I will never leave you, I will send you to the best hospitals

Shams say, "No, the doctors told me that, my days are numbered, I want, I only want to ask you for a request."

Asim, "don't say this, I will manage on this matter, I will send you to the best hospitals, till you recover completely."

Shams say, "but….."

Asim, "I will never compromise on that, but where is your daughter? Is she with her father?"

Shams say, "I put Mary in a boarding school, she didn't see her father even for a day, even when I meet him by coincidence he told me that he will never admit her, and he evaded to meet her, he said that she was a mistake, and that he did not want her to enter his life, and that he is now very stable, and does not want to complicate matters.

Asim interrupts her, "but you told me that you went back to your husband"

Shams say, "I was lying to you, but don't ask me why, I just preferred to run away."

Shams breathe slowly

Asim says, "okay, I don't want to know anything, I just want you to be fine"

Shams breathe hard, and says, "I love you"

Asim tears fall on-stop from his eyes and try to hide them, He holds her hand to kiss it, and sits with her until the next morning.

Asim attends a private plane to transport Shams, to be treated abroad in the best hospitals. Although all the doctors told him that there isn't a cure for her and that she is a hopeless case, he continues to search and try. Shams felt her death approaching, so she asked Asim to take her outside the hospital, And she told him that she wanted to go to her father's hotel, even if it became dilapidated because she spent the best years of her life there.

Asim bought her father's hotel after he was bankrupted by her old husband, David, after Mr. Jalal gave it to him, and restored it in the same old shape so that Shams would not feel strange when he saw it and brought her daughter Mary to spend the rest of her days with her, Asim told Mary the truth about her mother's illness, and that he is her mother's childhood friend, and that he wants her not to cry in front of her so that her mental state does not worsen further.

Mary feels very sad and tries to hide these feelings from her mother Several days passed, and Shams seemed to be very happy, as Shams asked Mary to beautify her a little to hide the traces of fatigue and pallor, and she wore a wig to hide that falling hair,

She also wore the white dress, that Asim brought him, and he did not tell her that it was her wedding dress at that time.

Shams sat in front of the lake in which Asim was always gathered.

The moon was bright, and its rays penetrated the waters of the lake.

Asim approached her and asked her: Do you remember that day?

Shams smiled a slight smile, and said to him,

"A reckless high school girl confesses her love to a boy for the first time"

Asim, "so reckless, how did you get this idea in the first place? You were so reckless."

Shams said, "I was never reckless, I did not count it, and did not bring it, but what was in my heart went out without control, I couldn't control myself at that time, your pain and sadness made me say it, but you were always an idiot"

Asim says, "yes, you where you have always been reckless, and I have always been an idiot. You look so beautiful today, What's the secret behind that

Shams say, "can't you see me, I wore the white dress! You brought me when we agreed to run away to get married."

Asim says, "you still have it!! I always imagined you with it, but I never imagined that you will be that beautiful when you wear it"

Shams say, "You know, if I didn't know well that you couldn't compliment, I would have said that you are lying to me."

Asim says, "I never lie, you were and still are the most beautiful women I have ever known"

Shams say, "I want to tell you that, I have never loved anyone but you, you have been with me all my life, I have not forgotten you even for a moment"

Asim, "Me also Shams, you are the only woman I see"

Asim approaches Shams

"Will you marry me? I know very well that it is late, but I want you to be my wife"

Shams did not utter a single word

Asim ignored Shams's failure to respond to him and continued his speech

You are the women of my life, that I regret every moment I did not spend it with, you are my soul, my life, and bliss, you are everything I lived for, and I will live for"

Asim notices her lack of response. He approaches her hands in fear and finds her very cold

"Shames, Answer, Shames, answer me, Shams, I can't get enough of staying with you yet, Shams why did you leave me alone! I can't live without you

I love you; I love you. We will marry in heaven. I will stick with you until the end. Asim goes to the lake and tries to throw himself into it. As he enters it, he remembers all the memories that he collected with Shams. He feels nothing but her laughter, and her look at him. Asim settles in the lake, leaving himself to drown and closing his eyes.

He wakes up to find Shams in front of him, but she is in adolescence laughing, and runs and approaches him and then hits him on the head, and says to him, "You idiot, get up and find Mary."

Asim wakes up to find Mary sitting in front of him in mourning clothes, so he knows that Shams has already died and that it was not a dream.

Mary, "Mr. Asim, I saved you, but please don't do it again, I know very well that my mother would not have liked it."

Asim remembered Shams's words in his dream and said to himself that, she must have wanted me to take care of Mary.

Asim told Mary, "Don't worry, I won't do it again"

Asim gets out of the hospital and sits in the old hotel to occupy himself with those memories, but whenever Mary stand in front of him, he reminds him of everything he did for her mother, and he can't stand it, so he sends her to continue her education abroad.

Asim tells Mary that he will take care of all her expenses, and afford everything until she becomes a good person to depend on

Asim didn't think it was a good investment for him, but what he thought about is Shams's will

Mary packed her bags and arrived at the airport, and after turning her back on Mr. Asim, she said "okay, I'll go now, but I will come back soon, to take revenge on you!!!"

Asim returned to his normal life, but he became more ferocious in dealing with his employees, and with everyone who deals with people concerning him, just means to increase his balance in the bank, and unfortunately, he raised Nader in the same way

Now, all the memories that Mr. Aziz wanted to review have ended, and he came to the end, which is that Awad was right when he told him that a person can repent from his mistake at any time, and if it was Shams alive, she would have wanted that too. Mr. Aziz spoke to himself, "I must correct my mistakes against myself, and others, and finally against Nader, my nephew."
