The author of the story says: I live in Alexandria With my family Which consists of Five members.
Another family of 5 people lives next to me We were very close to that family. My mother was a friend of their mother and their father was a friend of my father They had a son called Omar And two daughters We were like that too We used to deal with each other as one family. We would go and sit with them for hours, and they would also come to us and sit for hours. Then my university came and separated us Because it was  in Cairo So we left our house and went to another house in Cairo Our connection has not been broken With that family We always called each other But after several years, it began to decrease and decrease until it stopped completely، I was also busy at my university I was studying at the University of Engineering That's why I got busy with them After several years, my family returned to Alexandria, but I could not go with them because of university But I used to visit them on vacation On my first vacation in Alexandria I saw Omar knocking on the door of our house I welcomed him and my family welcomed him But his face was pale and he was very thin and sad An involuntary word came out of me and I asked him: Are you okay? He said to me, “Thank God,” and he was sad I told him you look sad He told me everything. It's okay The last news I knew about him was that he married a girl named Nourhan and had a child with her named Khaled He took them and traveled to the Gulf to look for work I asked him About his work, his wife, and his sonMy mother interrupted our conversation and told me that Omar had separated from his wife!!! When Omar heard these words, he turned his head to the ground while feeling sad I told him what happened He told me I will tell you on the balcony We went to the balcony and he started telling his story He told me After I married Nourhan and we had Khaled, the expenses became very high and I could not bear them, so I traveled to the Gulf to look for a job with a high salary to meet the needs of my son and my wife. I went to the Gulf and left him in Egypt After several months, they asked me to come with me to the Gulf, and I agreed It was the worst decision I made in my life My wife told me that she did not want to stay at home and wanted to look for work, so I agreed  she and I would go to work in the morning and we would send Khaled to nursery and take him at the end of the day while we were going home Nourhan started taking advantage of me in a bad way and started taking a lot of my money, but her money was not spent on anything. She started going to bars and wasting her money there, and she started getting to know young people. I didn't like it, so I sent her and my son to Egypt She was very angry with me so she wouldn't answer my messages Things remained the same for a few months, so I decided to go to Egypt to visit her, and I booked a room for her in a hotel on the northern coast so that she would forgive me and make her a little happy.We went together, me, my friend and his wife And my wife
