I have this friend that I know from way back; we grew up together. One day as usual, we were chilling at Nile Street at one of our favorite quite spots where we can sit in peace, drink coffee, and talk about life as we see it and as we want it to be, and discuss all our major and minor issues and also the little things we laugh about and day-to-day activities. Our conversations and talks are always about things that matter; things that benefit us and the people around us. Mohanned is like the brother that I never had, I thank God for the love that we share. So after we finished our coffee and I doubled, we put on our headphones and listen to music while taking a walk at Nile Street before hiding back home, the distance between our homes and Nile street is very short; 5-10 minutes on foot. I called my mother at home asking her if there's food left for me or not because if there's no food left, I would buy some before going home, I called her from Mohanned's phone because I didn't have credit on mine at that time.
That day particularly we stayed at Nile Street for a very long time, on a normal day we head back home at 11 o'clock or 11:30 but this time we barely finished our coffee at 12, I guess the weather was refreshing and tempting; that's why we lost sense of time. Anyways we decided to head home at 12:15, so we stood up, paid the guy, and started walking while playing music through our headphones.
Few minutes later Mohanned's phone started ringing, he didn't really pay attention to the number, so he just pushed the green button and answered, as he started talking I knew it was his mother. The phone call ended and he said to me "it's my mother, she was worried that I didn't arrive home at the time that I usually arrive at..." and I said with a smile on my face "alright let's hurry up then, we don't want mama to be worried, don't we?!".
So we started walking faster, Mohanned was holding his phone and he noticed that the number that he answered a phone call from few moments ago wasn't his mother's number or one of his family members number! He asked me if I know the number, I looked at the number and guess what I saw! It was my mother's number! Can you believe it? What happened actually was that my phone's SIM card is MTN and it's known by the weakness of it's coverage; basically my mother called me on my phone and it wasn't available so she called me on the number that I called her from earlier asking about food! And that number was Mohanned's. Wait that's not all, did you notice that my mother was talking to Mohanned and believing that she was talking to me?! and also Mohanned was talking to my mother believing that she was his mother?!
Talking about friendship and how deep and strong it could be. How it could create bonds between not only individuals; but individuals and their families.
This is a true story that happened in real life.
