"A year and a half and 6 days since the last message between me and Basant on Facebook, we separated after that, with a sharp fight, in which we insulted each other. That night, she blocked her account from me completely, "blocked." I did not delete her number from my phone, and there was no longer any contact between us except for some communication. Short "S.M.S" messages from me on official occasions such as Eid, Sham El-Nessim, and New Year's... Messages addressed to a large group of friends, without privacy. I used to put a penny among them, as a kind of constant reminder of myself, without expressing a real desire to return. She did not respond to any of them. I did not stop sending it whenever the opportunity came, and during this period in which Basant and I were separated, I married Dina." *** A novel about a man confused between more than one woman, swinging between them like a pendulum, not knowing stability or psychological comfort. The writer presents it in smooth and attractive language. Is he a victim or is he a victim of everyone who interferes in his circle?! Confused human relations resemble time and a city that has never known calm at any moment in its history!
