Arab Sea - Follow-ups: In a moving human story that, if seen in a movie, might be accused of dramatic exaggeration, an Egyptian family lost their son when he was 15 years old. After all hope of finding him was lost, he returned to their embrace, but after 33 years. The incident was narrated by a retired police officer to local media. The protagonist is a young teenager who was heading from his village to Port Said Governorate, where he suddenly disappeared, and all his family's attempts to find him failed. The last information they knew about him, according to his friends, was that he was injured in a fight inside the train heading to the governorate, before his news was cut off and they knew nothing about him. Former police officer "Amara Kamal" says that he met a new friend who works as an employee in the company he joined after his retirement. As soon as the latter knew that he had previously moved to Port Said Governorate to work in the security directorate there, he told him the strange story of his wife's brother, who disappeared more than 30 years ago while heading to the governorate, asking him for help by contacting his former colleagues. The missing person's sister's husband showed the policeman his picture in school official papers and documents when he was a student in middle school. The surprise was that there was a person in his late forties who was not known to have any family and suffered from "partial" memory loss that matched those specifications. As soon as the missing person's mother, who was on her deathbed, saw her son's picture taken with a phone camera, she shouted: "He is your brother, do not let him get lost from you again," before giving up the ghost. The family recognized the missing son, and familiarity began to take its course, and warmth erased years of alienation, but confirmation remained and certainty replaced doubt, which was actually done through a DNA test. Here, the feelings were overwhelming and the tears were present, as it was officially confirmed that he was the same child who had been missing 33 years ago and whose memory was partially affected due to the severe injury he sustained to his head at the age of 15 in the train fight, but he was able to some extent to recognize his family members and recall his memories with them.
