Shawakh has never confided these secrets to anyone, which she buried in a very remote spot where no one can reach, but she realizes that painful secrets do to the soul what obesity does to the body. She must get rid of it before she becomes a victim without realizing it.
It later became clear that Dr. Muhammad Ghaleb specializes in treating soldiers after they come from war, saving them from the bloody nightmares that haunt them, from the pain of loss, from the panic attacks that afflict them if a balloon explodes in the hand of a child, from excessive sweating and a pale face if a metal spoon falls.
