Cairo is a Small City

In this story a man named Adil falls in love with a woman named Salma. Adil is an engineer who lives in the city and watches Salma for almost a year from his balcony as she herds her families sheep through the streets of Cairo with her mother. Adil encourages interaction with his beloved thru the gift of bread for her sheep. When Adil finally approaches Salma's family he realizes that they know of a man that he had murdered. Finally, Adil is killed by Salma's family as she is nearby. The title "Cairo is a Small City", had obvious significance in that Adil just happened to fall in love with a woman who's father knew of his killer past. You should never underestimate the chances of running into someone, whom you have wronged, in your future. The world is a very small place!
