Our story today is about a man named Shady, who upon seeing the arrival of the sun, plans to go on a trip with his friends to visit the sea. Not all his expectations are met though. Will he let that get to him or will he decide to enjoy his day with his friends anyway?

Told in the present tense.

Ending the story with a snippet from an old Egyption love song "ana ba3sha2 el ba7r"- I adore the sea, By Nagat Es-Sagheera.
