Books – Muhammad Shaban:
Days before welcoming the month of Ramadan, an old man met his friend on Sudan Street. They had a conversation regarding some life matters before they touched the playful beauty, and events changed 180 degrees.
The 68-year-old opened a line of communication with the forty-year-old woman. Soon, the conversation took an emotional turn, dominated by words of love and romance, until they agreed on their first meeting behind the scenes.
The 45-year-old put her husband and children behind her back and focused on finding a way to prepare for a meeting that souls would like. She decided to receive her lover in her home in the Agouza neighborhood at the time of her husband’s absence and the “release” of the children.
The playful wife was not satisfied with her actions, but also involved her 16-year-old daughter in her plan to turn her into a “nature woman” to watch the road if the head of the family suddenly appeared, fearing that her case would be revealed.
The situation continued following the holy month in the same fashion that does not change. The elderly person is brought from his home in Imbaba area to the mistress’s house in the Agouza department, and they practice immorality for 150 pounds for one time that the lady spends.
One night, the old man came to satisfy his lust and cared regarding the lady before he died of a heart attack, causing the mistress to suffer a shock that caused her to become temporarily speechless and motionless for a few minutes.
A change in the usual scenario required a quick movement of the mother and daughter, so they decided to carry the body of the elderly man and leave it on the steps of the stairs, while screaming for help from the neighbors, “Give us an ambulance, guys, a strange, tired man” to remove the suspicion from her and before her revealed her marital infidelity.
“The man, Mbntakish.. Call for help.” The neighbor’s words came down like a thunderbolt to the 45-year-old’s ears. How not, when her heart told her that it would be the beginning of the end and the removal of the veil of betrayal that she tried to keep under wraps.
Inside the section near the Nile Corniche, Major Hossam al-Abbasi, head of the Agouza Investigations, had just arrived at his office from the examination of a report. No sooner had he put his personal belongings on his desk than he received a notification – via the radio – that a person’s body had been found inside a property.
“Al-Abbasi” set out at the head of a security force that included his assistant, Major Ahmed Farouk, heading to the scene of the incident, coinciding with calling the health inspector to sign a medical examination on the deceased.
By phone, Brigadier General Hani Shaarawy, head of the Criminal Investigation Department for the Northern Sector, followed the developments of the report, as if his police sense was telling him that there was a story looming regarding this man.
As soon as they arrived, the detectives listened to the neighbors and arrived at a detective of the incident. Confusion and stammering were evident on a housewife in her forties, which aroused the suspicions of the officers, even though the death was the result of a heart attack.
Research and investigation efforts supervised by Major General Medhat Fares, Director of the General Administration of Giza Investigations, and his deputy, Major General Assem Abu al-Khair, reached the hidden link between the deceased and that woman. An illegal relationship brings them together, as her sixty-year-old frequents her in her husband’s absence to engage in immorality in exchange for a sum of money.
The woman did not need a long discussion, so she quickly told the truth, “Malhash did something and died.. It was written for him to die in me and on my bed,” pointing to her use of her daughter to get rid of his body, which the latter confirmed, “Our fear is, Papa knows, but everything has gone wrong.”
The body was deposited in the Zeinhom mortuary, and a security force escorted the woman and her daughter to the office of the department in preparation for presenting them to the Public Prosecution to consider their imprisonment.
