They are asking for the lineage of one of the largest and most wealthy businessmen in Egypt to rescue them from the near state of bankruptcy. An old story that he watched and read about it a lot, but The endings in stories and movies are always unrealistic and imaginary. A hero who is greedy for wealth really falls in love with the heroine and does not discover that until after she discovers the truth of his intentions to marry her. But after naive events, the heroine returns to the arms of the hero because true love always triumphs.
Shawkat noticed the straying of his son Shawkat. He asked him about the reason for straying. He answered his question:
- I'm ready for the last film to be made about this theme. It was (marriage cheating).. Isn't it like that?
Shawkat was about to lose his nerve, but he held his ground and controlled himself. He talks to him about marriage, lineage, wealth, and his son talks to him about an Arab movie, but Nabil replied:
- It is unbelievable that this is his thinking.. I married a woman whom I did not know and did not know me, and I have never seen her or seen me, and you still believe that this marriage will be successful.
Shweikar said to him sharply:
- It must succeed.. It must, Nabil.. There is no other solution than to succeed.
- How will you succeed, but Mama?! Then, assuming that I agree, they will get all this trust from where is her father, Raafat Pasha El Gemayel.. They don't realize who is Raafat El Gemayel, he will agree. If I walk with you and Raafat agrees...
Shaukat interrupted:
- Uncle Raafat.. His name from now on.. Uncle Raafat.
- Uncle Raafat, this is based on the fact that there are two families inside who say, Grandpa, or what?!
- I swear to God, you and your savvy remain.
- Well, if we assume that Uncle Raafat agreed, will the girl agree?
- Her name is Jasmine..
- Mr. Loa, it doesn't matter what her name is.. Why are you sure that she will agree?
Shwikar looked at him sarcastic and said:
- Also, you and your smartness, as my father said before.
A question came to Nabil's mind that he wished he would ask him, but he backed away and swallowed it, but the stillness that surrounded them made him encourage and ask him:
- If Rami, may God have mercy on him, was still alive, would you have offered him this offer?
Shweikar frowned at the question, and a wound opened that did not heal with the death of her son, Rami. Her eyes filled with tears, but she quickly controlled her grief and wiped away her tears. Nabil regretted his question, but he wanted to clarify the matter. Shweikar looked away from him and said in a broken voice:
- If Ramy lived, he wouldn't have left us. We'd look for him for a bride suitable for the disgusting circumstances we're in.
Shawkat wanted to support her and confirm her words, saying:
- Ramy, may God have mercy on him, was sensitive, understanding, and knowing how to act.
Nabil besieged himself with his question. It was neither his time nor the time to ask such a question. He threw the ball into their court, and they kicked it into his net, a correct goal, and it seems that Shweikar wanted to end the match with this result, so she announced its end, saying, addressing her words to her husband Shawkat:
- That's it, Shawkat.. Make your contact with Raafat Al-Jamil, and set an appointment for us to visit them.
Shawkat nodded in agreement, and silence re-occupied the corners of the room. Shawkat interrupted him by turning on the TV looking for his favorite sports channel, while Shweikar picked up an international fashion magazine from a small table next to her and began flipping through its pages contemplating the 2022 summer fashion.
Nabil felt lonely even though there were two people sitting in the middle of them. He asked permission from them, but no one cared. Shawkat kept watching the analytical studio for a match in the European Champions League, while Shweikar continued flipping through the pages of the magazine, whose photos she had seen for the 120th time.
Nabil returned to his room, lit the room's lamps, opened the door of the small balcony overlooking the side street where the entrance to the building is located, the night closed its curtains, the lamps of the pillars of light shivered casting a scanty intermittent light that reflected on the tall trees and only rarely reached the street floor, everything seemed Pale in front of him, the street, the trees and the cars parked under the buildings, even the doorkeepers and the guards looked bleak in this dark night. Among the trees, he caught a glimpse of a young man and a girl crossing the length of the street. He did not see their features, but the young man held the hand of his beloved and they walked calmly and silently. Imagine Nabil, their eyes shining with love. His young lips were crimson red from the outburst of feelings, and the young man's hand shivered as he touched his beloved's hand, as if an electric current was flowing to her. It is possible that she does not shiver or shiver at all, and it is possible that her lips are pale from hunger or fear of passing in a street.It was dark like this, and that their feet were so tired now from walking so long that their toes were almost stuck together, and that the first thing they would do when they got home was to take off his shoes and separate the sticking toes of his feet.
Everything has more than one perspective, and so there are many points of view in one thing, according to your perspective, your position, and the angle in which you stand. Remember the story of the old man and his four sons. He sent each one of them by a path with a tree at the end to return and describe it, and when they all returned it was The description of each of them is different, different, and perhaps even opposite to the other. They thought that they had lost their way, but the wise father assured them that they were on the right path and that they had reached the desired tree. He said to them: "Each one of you arrived at the tree in a different season from the other, for whoever saw its branches bare and dry was in the winter, and whoever saw a ripe green flowering one was in the spring and whoever saw it green and fruitful it was in the summer and whoever saw it dying and its leaves falling one after the other was In the fall." They were all in the same place and did not see the same thing.
And why should we go away, during the revolution of the twenty-fifth of January, the house was divided into factions, Shweikar supports the revolution out of spite for the Free Officers who deprived them of its turmoil, and accordingly everything that annoys the ruler as long as this institution is a welcome supporter of him, on the complete opposite was Major General Shawkat, He believes that what is happening is a farce and a disgrace to the country and will bring it ruin, and the military institution to which he belongs must stop this mockery in any way whatsoever, even if blood is its price. Protecting the homeland is more important than anything. This contradiction exists between the members of the same family. The mother rejects the Free Officers and denounces the presence of officers in government, yet she marries one of this institution. Nabil's astonishment did not stop at his mother, but rather his transgression towards his father, who believes that the protection of the homeland is the price of the blood of citizens, and is the homeland one thing and the citizen something else He did not differentiate between protecting the homeland and protecting the regime, but Rami did not know his opinion about this revolution because he was busy like everyone else.His colleagues in the police force to confront the outlaws or those who attack the honor of their white uniforms. Each one has a point of view that he defends, and he has enough evidence that convinces him to adopt this point of view.
Nabil applied these words to his marriage. His father and mother see that marriage to a fruitful and blessed tree will bring them good and will not harm the other party, who is Raafat Al-Jamil and his daughter. Nabil sees that his marriage to Jasmine is a tree that may be lush, but on the other hand, it will be barren and sterile and does not bear fruit. And if it bears fruit, its fruits will be a deadly carcinogen.
However, there are other points of view and different scenarios that may occur, all of which are hypotheses, such as Raafat and Yasmine's approval of this marriage. And as a former military man, he forces her to marry him, and she may be one of those types of young women whose parents decide such fateful life matters for her, so she accepts, albeit reluctantly. This is because he knows how stubborn his daughter is and how tough her head is, but there is a worse possibility than that from Nabil's point of view.
