How nice it is!
- Do you like it? - I like it and I'm good now
I'm good because I'm sure that if the odds were against us
If we didn't have money or had to live in a mediocre house
you'll embellish everything
You embellish my days and years
I'm working at Dentelle's because of you
not anywhere else or any other country
What do you mean? Are you thinking of leaving the country?
Of course, as long as we're together anything is possible
Listen, let's dream big together
Let's eat What did you bring?
Bonjus
Did you bring something to binge on?
"Episode 26" Such an unbelievable story
- Do you know where she was? - No, not at all
You don't know or you won't say?
Why are being curious?
Pray she'll get well soon
I'm going to see Adam Do you need anything?
- No, send him my greetings - Bye
- How is she? - Fine
She passed out because of hypoglycemia She's sleeping now
- I'm going to check on her - Okay, but like that?
What if she woke up and saw you like this?
She's fine, believe me
You can check with her doctor if you don't believe me
Hi, Fady
I'm sorry I couldn't come to our appointment
I'll make it up to you I promise
No, I can't leave her
I'll call you when I'm out of here
Bye
- How is she now? - Good, sleeping
- Can I see her? - Sure
Why?
This house is smaller but brighter
It bathes in sunlight
Not like the old one full of humidity
You can't live in a humid environment
- Did you manage to move? - Yes
I've been searching since we set the surgery date
Luckily, it all went well
Hello, doctor Welcome
- You'll get rid of us - Don't say that, Adam
You'll get rid of us
Because we're doctors people feel relieved not to see us
They feel happy
I'm excited to leave the hospital
I've spent with Rola time at hospitals and with doctors
more than the time we spent together
- You'll soon get out - I forgot something with Mirna
I'll be back
Don't mind her, doctor She's confused this morning
Her friend got to the hospital and she doesn't know what to do
She seems very nice and cares about everyone
Rola is very caring She takes care of everyone
and forgets to take care of herself
What can I say? I wish you a happy life together
and may we not see you at the hospital again
Thank you, doctor We'll see you before checking out
Sure, if you need anything you know where to find me
Excuse me
Tell me, love How is she?
She has to stay in the hospital for a couple of days
until she stabilizes
She's not in good health, Mira
Calm down, love Don't worry
As long as she's in a regular room and not in the ICU, no need to worry
I told her I want to sleep there she didn't accept
She asked me to go because she's used to being alone
But she shouldn't be alone after all those years
and what she's been through
Mira, I know you haven't processed yet her presence in our life
but I don't want her to go from the hospital to her house alone
Sure, love We can get her a nurse
to take care of her and give her medicines on time
- This way, you won't worry - What nurse?
What nurse?
Her son was taken away from her and she should be compensated
My mother will stay here with us
I don't want to talk about this anymore
Enough!
We opened an account for you Please sign these 3 papers
Within 3 to 5 days the transfer will be done
- We're done? - Yes, thank you, sir
- Thank you - Welcome
- Thank you, sir - Welcome
I signed the papers Congratulations for both of us
I can't talk for long
but I have an idea I hope you won't say no
I'll think about it
Okay, I won't think about it
Finish what you have to do and then call me back
So our meeting is still on? Okay, bye
Rola, what's wrong?
- I can't help it - What do you want?
I need a day off They discharged Adam
and he needs someone to take care of him
I must be with him
You should've left him at the hospital until he gets better
Look at you
I couldn't, you know the situation
I asked a nurse to stay with him but I can't afford her
Rola, I know what you're going through
I told you that over and over
but your colleagues think you have a special treatment
They also have their problems
If I want to make exceptions there'll be no one left in the factory
Okay
Sorry, did I keep you waiting?
No, I came earlier to have coffee
- We'll have coffee together - I don't think so
You seem in a hurry
What about Alya's surprise you're preparing?
Is it her birthday?
I think you misunderstood me We don't want to surprise Alya
I don't get you
If Alya knows what I came to know it will be an ugly surprise for her
You know she has the kindest heart ever
and she can't take it
Especially from a man she trusted be he turned out to be like this
- What do you mean? - What do I mean?
I mean a liar or let's say a fraud
Shall I tell you what I found out, Khaled, or would you like to speak
so you'll give yourself a new nickname, Mr. dad?
You won't believe I didn't mean to hurt Alya
I was attracted to her and wanted us to be close to her
What a lame excuse!
I'm not here for an explanation
If I don't know this news will traumatize her
I would've told her
She doesn't know?
If you don't want your wife to know
and your entire family, too you'll do as I say
- What do you want me to do? - Make her hate you
Make her break up with you
This will end the relationship with minimum damages
Do you understand, Khaled?
I don't know what to do I don't want to feel bad
- You're not, dad - She's his mother!
It's true he just met her and hasn't had the time to get attached
I feel sorry for her after all she'd been through
and now with her health issues
Your uncle's problem may he rest in peace
is that he hurt everyone around him
He was like fire burning anyone who approached him
But I didn't get near him, why should I suffer?
Even now that he's gone?
- Can I ask you a question? - Sure, help me to figure it out
I didn't say a word to mom and Dana, I can't
They will get mad if they know
I can't tell any of my friends It's a bit shameful
- This is the main thing - What do you mean?
Sweetheart, I was going to say...
that you wanted to move in with Youssef where Yara and Rima live
I told you so, and you agreed
It's his mother now What's the difference?
No, now it's different
But now that we lived under the same roof
I think to myself I couldn't do it
It's different now, dad
Rima raised him she's his mother
But this woman, Nouhad is a stranger to both of us
How can we welcome her into our house just like that?
She's not staying over a couple of days, but an entire life
You know what I mean?
Also, he can visit her and take care of her
It shouldn't be a secret anymore
Yet, we don't have to tell everyone What can I say to them?
Youssef now has a mother out of the blue?
Do you understand me?
Have you explained your point of view?
No, I couldn't
Do you know what your problem is?
Ever since you were a little girl
you've always wanted everyone to love you
as if it were a test
in which you want to get the highest grades
and be the best student in class so others will love you
Is that wrong? I love to see my entourage happy, is it wrong?
No, it's not But you have to be yourself
You'd do things that doesn't make you happy just to please people
Same thing applied to sacrifice You do it for others
and you get annoyed and bothered
yet you have no problem doing it just so people see your devotion
It's good to see you devoted
but this is also selfishness
You want to preserve the image others have of you
and this image isn't always authentic
Just like Youssef now
I'm sure that you don't approve of his decision
but you'll do it
Not because you don't want Youssef to be sad
You want Youssef to keep the image he has in mind of you
and this is bad
I remember I was at school I had a small surgery
- to my tonsils removed - It's okay
- Your turn - Gosh!
Tell me the story of the first dress you ever drew?
This story needs more time than your hourglass allows
Are you telling me this?
I'm kidding, it's not that long but it's a funny story
I'm ready to listen to you all night long
If you insist I was 14 years old
I was watching a movie and the star was French
- She was stunning - Just like you
Let me carry on
Let me...
I'm sorry, carry on carry on
She was wearing a amazing green dress
I remember it had a fluffy petticoat
but there was something about it that I didn't like at all
I remember very well staying in my room for a couple of hours
I drew the same dress and kept on adjusting it
till it was the embodiment of my ideas
Here comes the funny part
I was so happy with the end result
I went to my uncle and asked for the French actress' address
because I wanted to send her the drawing
I was 14 years old
Your turn
Tell me about a lost opportunity you regret
I have no regrets
Come on, Fady We all have regrets
I have no regrets I promise
For me, life is about choices
Good and bad choices
Some things you choose to do and others you don't
Some things you seize and others you leave
That's why you can never lose
That's why you can have no regrets
What if you made a bad choice?
You'll learn from your mistake
Unless you're such a failure and choose the same thing again
Let's talk about...
your first kiss
It's not important it's no big deal
I want to be the last to kiss you
Fady, please!
- You're unbelievable! - Why?
You think I'm dumb and my words are silly?
Or are you gonna tell your friends
how unbelievably great and a brilliant speaker I am?
Tell me, what are you gonna tell your friends about me?
I'll tell them I met a handsome guy
smart, successful and ambitious
Very helpful
obnoxious a bit but cute, too
What will you tell your friends?
I love her
I'll tell them I love her
- Thank you, Abu El Mich - Welcome
I hope you're good now
even if the guys took more than he deserves
It's okay, I know your opinion
We don't agree on this
Anything that could be handled with money, Abu El Mich
I have no problem with it
The real problem is when it gets your reputation
- Do you need anything else? - Did you know what he wants?
- What his plans are? - No, I didn't want to ask him
I don't want him to feel we're scared or anxious
Thank you so much
- Good evening - Good evening
Take a seat
Wow
I didn't let the waiter touch it
What would you like to drink?
Cheers
Stop being childish
I'm sick, love Sick of all this
Take the medicine now You have to take an injection later
It's okay, you've been through a lot hospitals, dialysis
All you should do now is relax in bed
and take your medicines on time
Rola?
How could we be at home and acting as if we were in the hospital?
- Until you recover - I recovered
You said it I should take my medicines
and follow up with the doctor
You see how much I improved
It's only a matter of time
We should be patient
I don't want us to go back to square one
I'm happy you finally recovered
Take it easy for a while
Is it a medical advice or your own?
I can't ask the doctor about that
I will ask him
Rola, I miss you so much I really do
I can't wait to be in our home and under the same roof
so we can be alone
I know it's weird
because it's been a long time
Maybe we grew apart
But I love you
I want to love you I want to feel you
I don't want us to drift apart further
- Stop, please! - Stop acting snobbish, eat
Fouad? What will you do after cashing the money?
I'm thinking of several projects but I haven't decided yet
No, I mean... do you want to leave Beirut or stay here?
Or maybe travel to another country?
Why are you talking as if I would be by myself?
It's your right
Our agreement ended when you signed the paper
You're free to go and to be alone
- Away from you? Hayat! - Fouad!
Do I have to say I love you so you know it's true?
Or do you know that I don't deserve you and I'm afraid to say it?
Listen, Hayat if you're doubting me
and you think I'll take the money and leave
I'm ready at this same moment
to gather my strength and tell you that I love you
Take them back, please
- Good morning - Good morning
I want you to check the press release
I need your confirmation to send it
It's my aunt's birthday tomorrow She's holding a lunch party
She wants me to invite you
God bless, I will call her and wish her a happy birthday
and apologize for not coming Don't worry
Come in, welcome home
Thank you, son God bless
Mira? Slowly
Give me that
- Welcome home - It wasn't necessary, sweetheart
I was comfortable in the old house
I'll take my medicines on time and watch out my diet
Dear mother, I want you to live with me so I can see you more
We will have breakfast together and have walks together
and when I come back from work I'll eat your tasty food
By the way, Em Youssef makes the best Freekeh ever
Great, you'll teach me how to cook it
I'm learning to cook everything Youssef loves
Sure, I will You look smart and intelligent
Thank you, dear I'll go and prepare lunch
- Get some rest - Thank you, love
- Bring a glass of water for mom - Okay
- I wish you happiness, son - God bless you, mom
You don't like it?
- Yes, we do. It's very nice - Very nice?
You don't seem you like the place
You haven't congratulated me Go there, you two
Never mind her looks She's been grumpy lately
Mind your own business
It seems your man is making you sad, as usual
The man who's making me sad knows when to apologize
He cherishes me and knows what he wants from me
Do you know someone like him?
I'm going to make a phone call There's no signal here
Jad apologized 10 times and brought 3 gifts
Forgive him, if you're so annoyed and sad
Alya is right. He doesn't know what he wants
I can't push him to say and do the right things
I can't anymore
- You scared me - It's your fault
You left the door open
It's late, why you didn't close it?
I usually do What time is it? That late!
- What did you bring me? - Who said it's for you?
I'm sure it's for me I'm very hungry
Why is it that big?
Halewit El Jebn, I love it
I was out with Jad
We had a few drinks and went to buy them
I know you love Halewit El Jebn
True
- Can I sit? - Sure
It's a nice place It looks like you
- Really? - Yes, very much
- How's Nihad? - She's fine. They discharged her
You sure know You talk to her more than I do
You know I thank God for that It's a gift from him
She's very kind
Don't you think we will share her
Are you jealous of that?
Do you think she will pamper me more?
No, It's not like that
but it's normal for anyone to pamper you more, can I?
Sure, bon appetit
Did you talk to Nadine?
- Jad is in a very bad shape - Yes, her too
She put up with him a lot
Jad is childish She knew that all along
She was hoping he'll grow up or doesn't he want to?
It has nothing to do with that
Sometimes, you love something a lot
you love it from the bottom of your heart
but you can't find the right way to reach it
Sometimes, the things you can't change bother you even more
You really want to launch a collection, I thought you're kidding
- Kidding? - Nice designs
I'm not kidding Sure I want to do it
I thought you need some time
I have no time to waste
I've wasted enough
Fady told me I should start from somewhere
I'm so excited
I know I'll do something very beautiful something successful
Good luck
Tell us so we coordinate our schedules
Our collection's schedules?
Unless you intend to compete against us
I'm talking for your best interest
Present your collection without competing against us
so it'll have its share of success
Or Fady didn't advise you to do so?
- Good evening - Good evening, love
I missed you, you're late
Jad had a problem I was figuring it out
- With his girlfriend? - Something like that
- Did it work out? - Yes
You know what?
I have a problem, too and you're the only one to figure it out
Mira, let me check on my mom
- Now? - Yes
I could've come alone and you would've gone to work
You said it's tense there and they're barely giving you days off
True, I don't want you to worry about that at all
If I won't worry about you what will I do then?
Isn't it enough I ruined your life?
I don't want you to lose the job you love
the job that's putting food on the table
When the doctor says I'm fine I'll go back to work immediately
You can't go back to work before you totally recover
- Did they approve your leave? - No
I think they'll sack me because of those endless days off
Mirna told me not to worry They are recruiting
I can go whenever I want now There's no fixed schedule
and the load of work is not huge
Don't worry about money I saved some the last months
It's enough until you get back to work
How can you keep this a secret, love?
You're an angel and kind-hearted
God is helping you with everything
Good morning I was about to call you
Good morning, darling
What about passing by me?
Haven't you missed me like I missed you?
I missed you a lot but I thought to let you rest a bit
- and call you later - I'm resting very well
It's like a hotel here and not a house
When you come I'll tell you
- Maybe another day, I'm very busy - Please!
If you're shy, I'll ask Youssef and Mira to invite you
but then it'll be an official invitation
I'm asking you to drop by for an hour before your work
I'll see you and you can go to work
- What say you? - Okay
- Thank you, Mona - Mira, we'll leave in a few
- You just got here, Youssef - If you want, stay longer
I'll go and pick you up later
- Something's wrong? - No, Youssef wants to leave
Why, son? It's still early You just got here
I have a very important thing to do
But I'll leave Mira here and pick her up later
What about tomorrow and the day after?
Whenever we go out, you're in a hurry and checking the time
What? Haven't you told me to speak up?
I'm doing so
Honey, if there's something bothering you
you talk with your husband at home and alone
Yes, but we're not alone at home
That's not what's bothering me it's your way
It could be very normal
but you're insisting on making me feel it's not
It's true it's not normal...
Dana!
Leave her express herself, uncle
True, it's not normal
but this is how things are now
and this is what I have to deal with
I didn't choose that
I think we need some time to adapt and process it. No problem
I need to go
Do you want to stay or do you want me to pick you up later?
I'm staying here I'll sleep here
- Mira, calm down! - Let her do what she wants
If you change your mind call me to pick you up
Good night
- Good night - Good night
Honey, you shouldn't do what you did again, understood?
Stay with your mother and sister till you calm down
I'll let the driver drop you
Second, you should never act like this in front of us or anyone else!
Teach your daughter traditions, ma'am
Are you already annoyed by his mom?
For God's sake! I'm indifferent to that woman
I don't care about her
To be honest we don't talk all day long
He's making me feel that he's worried about her in everything we do
I'm ashamed to tell you
but yesterday we're at home I can't laugh with him
We can't cuddle
You're really mean and impolite
I'm heading to my room I'll sleep here tonight
unless you don't want me here!
Mira!
Seriously, Dana? You're unbelievable!
- Hi - Hello
- Is Nihad here? - No
She's at my place
At your place?
When you asked to meet me here I thought she was back
I thought something happened
Why did you call? What do you want?
Why are you in a hurry? You're going to see Fady?
No, Youssef I was very busy
When I heard your voice on the phone I thought you're in trouble
- but you're not - What if I am?
We fought, Mira and I
Because of auntie Nihad?
To be fair, she's not annoyed by her presence
I know, when I saw her at your place Mira was very nice
Mira is nice to everyone
Why did you fight?
For many reasons and details It happens between married couples
She's newly wed and needs to feel comfortable at home
- Leave me - What's wrong?
- This is wrong - Why?
- The game we're playing is wrong! - What game, Mirna?
The friends thing
We're friends talking about our problems
We processed everything
What for? To stay together
Honestly, the closer we get the worse the pain is
I can't walk away from you
I can't get any closer
Youssef, I can't hear about your marital problems
What can I do? Advise you to reconcile with her?
Fady told me he loves me
Are you taking your revenge?
See? We can't be friends
- Did you make sure now? - What about you two?
Can you get together?
- What do you mean? - When he told you he loved you...
What did you say?
I've always been a good liar
I lie to people to come and see you
I lie to them not to make them sad
Even if you lie to everyone
you can't lie to me
What did you say?
Youssef
If I tell you I'm still...
I'm still in love with you
what would you say?
I still love you, Mirna
What would you tell me?
It's my weakness
