Good.
Any idea what caused removing Windows partition?
You can try to re-install it. Be careful that you do not click on BCA -> Continue, once Windows is fully installed.
Point is I need to use only one program what is Windows based ( exe file). I don't want to buy windows computer, Is there any option for me. I looked option Parallels, does that works or not without just deleting again?
You can use Bootcamp. In either case, you will need to buy a license from Microsoft.

Is that possible to get back.?
Run
diskutil apfs resizeContainer disk1 0g
and post the output.
How is possible the MacOS just internally removes Windows partition?
Yes, if you click on Continue -> Remove/Restore, BC Assistant will remove Windows. See Remove Windows from your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support for reference.
Hi,
I have hard drive 250gb, on July I installed windows with bootcamp and I give for 50gb for bootcamp use.
Now on disk utility shows me my disc space is only 200gb.
When doing restart and holding Option key, I was able change Windows or MacOS, not any more.
Why?

OK.

Windows was removed - intentionally or accidentally.

You do not have Windows installed anymore.
Thank you for response, but as you really think and understand, question is:
where is my ~50gb of hard drive space.
How to I get back.
my hhd is 250gb, not only 200gb. There is something wrong.

You should now have the full disk space in macOS.

Currently, you have ~50Gb as Free Space, but there is no Windows partition on your disk.
Bootcamp Could not locate the macOS boot volume - mac partition unknown
