A day like no other in my life passed. It was like someone changing their flesh, blood, cells, and soul. It was like someone being born into a new world with new laws, like someone bidding farewell to tranquility and indifference to embrace adventure and death. Nothing remained of the past except the name, and even that quickly changed. That evening, the first family meeting was held in a small house in Old Cairo. There were five of us, headed by our old friend, symbolized by “1.” Why not? We had become symbols for achieving goals. He sat at the head of the table, shifting his gaze among us, acquiring a new awe and a powerful influence.
