On a sunny day when leaves are falling from the wind, Awad and his family are standing in the courtyard of a house for sale in a seemingly poor neighborhood. The house is only one story with a small garden surrounded by a low fence. Children seem happy that they will finally have a house with a garden, Good looking looks like the owner of the house talking on the phone with someone else.

Aseel "dad, mom, could we buy a dog?"

-Aseel is the youngest person in Awad's family, she is a quiet beloved person she takes her mom as the only example that she wishes to be in the future.

Sara "we will discuss it later."

-Sara is a woman at late 20s with brown hair wearing sunglasses, she is professional in teaching so as well as in cooking. She is a mother of three children, and she is Awad's wife.

Malak "please, calm down, the dog will be very noisy, I will not be able to study."

-Malak is the eldest daughter, she is very smart, Diligent, And a persistent girl. She studies all the time, she wants to be a doctor as well.

Awad "We're going to vote on it at the family meeting. It's something you can't decide on your own."

-Awad is a man in his late 30s wearing glasses with black hair and a mustache, he has a large belly and his body is full, he looks kind.

Karim, "can you buy me a new football, please? We have a garden now, I can play at it."

Karim is the youngest man in the family, a likable and kind child, and he is fond of football."

Awad talking to his wife, "Do you like the house?"

Sara replies to him, "Yes, I liked it, but the price he wants is 200,000 pounds, we only saved 190000 pounds."

Awad tells her not to worry, as he can borrow 5000 pounds from his friend at work, and he will ask the owner to give him a month to pay the rest of the amount.

Awad tells her not to worry, and that he will try to negotiate with him.

Sara tells him not to do that, and that she will sell part of her jewelry, so they can buy the house, and tells Awad that they will also need money for renovations, so they will need it anyway

Awad refuses and tells her to keep her jewelry, and that he will take care of it.

Awad goes to the owner of the house and negotiates with him, but in vain, he tells him that he wants the cash because he will travel soon, and he does not know when he will return and that all he can do is give him a two-day grace period until he brings the money.

Awad and his wife went home, and after the children fell asleep, they sat down to talk as usual

Sara tells Awad that she is upset with him because he didn't take the jewelry

He tells her that the jewelry belongs to her and that he knows she keeps them for her own business, so he will never take them.

Sara tells him to consider it a repayable debt, especially since she wants to open her own business, not before two years

Awad insists on refusing and tells her that our situation is not bad now, we will find another home.

Awad said those words, and he knows very well how much he liked the house, He didn't tell Sara before that he was constantly worried that death was close to him and that he could disappear at any moment, so he wanted her to keep this jewelry in case something happened to him that she could face life. Cruelty alone because they were orphans without parents

The next morning, everyone seemed to frown, seeing that their father had prevented them from what they loved, a house with a garden.

Awad was very sad, as he couldn't fulfill the wish of his loved ones, but there is no trick in hand

On Awad's way to work, a car appeared that seemed to be following a woman in his late twenties someone was trying to kidnap her. Awad was so far from her, and before he reaches her, two men get out of the car, wearing masks to hide their faces, and they were approaching her and mocking her.

"Did you expect to run away from us?"

"We don't want to hurt you; we just want the USB flash"

"Don't worry, we will take you as a pledge until your husband returns what he took to us."

The Criminal is talking to his colleague, "but can't we have a little fun with her, the weather is nice and the car is spacious"

The woman starts screaming and trying to run away, the two men come and circle her so that she can't escape. They take her by force and put her in the car amid her screams. "Help. Help", the Criminal sticks her mouth so that she can't scream. When he gets close to touch her, Awad appears behind him and pulls him out and throws him on the ground, and punches him several times. At that moment.

The second Criminal appears and takes him away from the first Criminal and takes a brick and tries to throw it on Awad. Awad grabs a handful of sand and throws it in the eye of the second Criminal and hurries to untie the woman and as soon as he unties, she and she starts to flee till the second Criminal comes to catch him from behind, and the first Criminal regains consciousness and brings his gun, and shoot bullets. At that moment, the police car appears and the criminals flee, leaving Awad in a pool of blood.

Awad wakes up to find himself in the hospital and Sara is next to him crying bitterly, and as soon as she finds him awake, she runs to call the doctor, the doctor comes and tells her that Awad has passed his dangerous stage and that it is only a matter of time until he returns to his normal life.

Sara looks at Awad with fear and blame

"What a bad man! You want to leave me alone in this world."

Awad looks at her and doesn't speak but his eyes tell her that he is sorry

"What were you thinking?!"

Awad tells her, "I felt that this woman is you, and there is no one to help her. How is it possible to leave her alone among these wolves, but is she okay?"

Sara told him in a fit of jealousy "Why do you ask? It seemed that you liked her."

Awad laughs and says to her "You still jealous of me?"

Sara "Of course, you tell me if you doubt it."

And she tells him that the woman called, and she and her husband will come shortly to check on him.

After a few hours, the woman comes with her husband. When the man enters the room, Awad was very surprised

He whispered to his wife, "He was the one who wanted to buy my father's house."

His wife "Really, what a coincidence"

Awad and his wife seem stunned, "how could this be a coincidence?"

The man approaches him and thanks him for what he has done towards his wife. Awad asks him, "is the police arrested kidnappers?". The man tells him that the police arrested one of them and the other has escaped."

Awad asked the man, "Did he confess why he did that?"

The man told him that they wanted to take something from him, but when he refused, they tried to kidnap his wife to bargain for this thing, but Awad appeared at the right time.

The man told him that he didn't know how to reward him and Anwar returned the favor to him

Awad told him that he is not waiting for anything in return and that he is happy that his wife is fine

The man and his wife left the room

Sara says, "I am proud of you."

Awad smiles

Sara asks Awad, "what did they want from him?"

Awad tells her, "It must be something important, even though he was leaving the country so quickly."

Sara asks him, "Do you think his traveling has anything to do with that?"

He tells her, "Yeah don't you remember how many calls he got when we were buying the house."

Sara tells him, I remember

Awad asks, where are the children? I missed them."

Sara tells him that she left them with her neighbor and not to worry about them.

After several days, the man comes again to visit Awad and tells him that he trusts that he will bring him the rest of the money. And he brings him a contract proving his ownership, all he has to do is to sign, and then they will register it

Awad is very happy about this, but he tells him that he is worried that he might need that money, but he did it for what he did for his wife.

The man tells him that the remaining amount is not that much. And he didn't need it, And he hasn't returned his favor yet.

Awad thanks him a lot and calls Sara to tell her the news

Sara is happy to hear this, and he hears the children's cries of happiness.
