Do you think it's normal to do that?
- "Episode 27" - It's normal, Alya I overslept
Don't create a problem out of everything
Am I really doing that?
I'm the most peaceful person on earth
But you don't know anything about time management
You want to go to your parents then...
Are you criticizing me?
Criticizing you? No
No, Khaled I'm trying to tell you that...
You're getting grumpy now?
If you wanna be grumpy I'll show you grumpy
What's wrong with you, Khaled?
Is there anything wrong with your parents?
Why are you acting like that?
I don't like anybody to control my life
I'll turn into a devil once I feel a woman's trying to control me
Is it a good enough reason?
More than enough Excuse me
Hello Yes, I'm fine
No, no I'm not crying
Where are you?
Okay, no problem
No, I'm heading home
Okay, Nadine
Can you not be late, please?
Okay, bye
Sorry, my sister was asking me about a couple of things
So how long have you worked at the company?
Almost twelve years
Is that possible?
I get surprised when I see people staying at the same spot for a long time
For me, it's impossible I must keep on changing my work
Stability is the secret for success
whether in your career or in your personal life
Jumping from one thing to another looks like more fun
but it might not lead you anywhere
- It's possible - You and Sara are friends, how?
We took a course together a while back
We're not so close but we stay in touch
But one I asked her to set me up with a friend
She suggested your name immediately
Do you like kids?
- What kids? - Babies
I really love babies, I wish to have a football team of babies
I thought it was you
I was sitting in the back wondering if it's really you or not
He's my boss
- Bilal Tahseen - I'm glad to meet you
I won't take more of your time Sorry I disrupted your conversation
Adam, where were you? Where did you go?
I was worried about you Why did you leave your phone here?
First, hi Calm down
- Why are you mad? - Where were you?
- I was at the hospital - What happened?
- Nothing happened - Why did you go then?
I went to the hospital, dear
First, I have an appointment in four days
I feel really good, you won't believe me no matter what I say
So I thought I'd let the doctor inform you, maybe you'd believe me then
Why did you leave your phone here? To cause me worry?
No, dear that was not my intention
You've become a light sleeper lately
You wake up whenever I move
I went out silently like a robber
I'm sure that as soon as I closed the door
You woke up and started calling me, right?
- Right? - What did the doctor say?
He said...
He said I'm good, he also said I can have another honeymoon
- Today, if you like! - Naji?
I meant Dr. Naji?
No dear, not Dr. Naji Dr. Naji is abroad
His assistant told me that
You ignored the honeymoon!
It won't work I mean not until a couple of days
I'm gonna go fix you something to eat
If you're that bothered by my mother I'll take her back
After a couple of days to make sure she's okay
So you still didn't get my point You want to make me look bad
Youssef, the lady isn't bothering me but your weird actions are
- The matter is weird itself - Okay, but it became a reality
We can't change that
the lady didn't come here to stay for a couple of days
She's living here now Among us
No, she's not gonna stay here
She told me she wanna go back don't worry
Do you hear yourself?
You're oppressing us all Including yourself
I just want to keep you happy inside your own house
My real home is our marriage
Regardless of who owns the house where we live
Youssef, if you don't share my opinion
then we have a bigger problem
than your mother and your sensitivity towards her
I'm really lost, Mira I'm really lost
I know, I understand Take your time
Make up for the time you both lost
Don't feel guilty for something you had nothing to do with
Don't ruin something for the sake of something else
Anyways, I told her you have guests and you're staying late with them
But I'll just take her back
Okay
You didn't listen to a word I said, Youssef
Mira, I want you to be comfortable
Okay, fine Let's go home now
Your mom must stay with us
We'll take her back to her place once she feels better
Maybe we'll get someone to take care of her
I wanted to see you because I have something to explain
No need to explain anything Everything is clear
No, it's not about the thing you saw It's about me right now
It's clear as well Like day light
Really? What is it then?
You're punishing me
What?
Are shocked by the way I think?
No, I'm shocked by my thoughts
I thought that someone would change if they met someone worth changing for
As if you changed
You're back to normal
You go out with a person everyday just to have fun
Am I right?
Tell me, what role did you play yesterday?
You're right
I really did that
But that was before meeting you
I stopped seeing people after being yours
It wasn't for your sake It was for mine
An act of respect for the feelings I have towards you
I won't disregard that to have fun It's because I've changed
What about yesterday then?
It was the reality
A reality I made myself live in once I knew we were just a fantasy
What do you mean?
The guy you saw with me was a potential groom
Really? So you've matured and started searching for a man to marry?
Or was it the plan in the first place?
So you started searching for another when I didn't visit your parents
No, it's not true the goal wasn't marriage
The goal was to make myself believe that I'm not yours anymore
Actually, I was never yours
I wish but you didn't want it
I'm not here to point fingers at you on the contrary
I'm here to be clear with you
and explain to you that what you saw wasn't a punishment or a reaction
It's the right thing I should've done earlier
So now what?
You fell in love and planned the wedding after your first date with him?
Not at all I'm not gonna see him again
I didn't feel like he's the person I wanna sleep and wake up next to everyday
I don't know what he felt I don't care either
The important thing is that I was able to go out again
I gave myself a chance for others to want and respect me
I didn't respect you, Nadine?
Yes, you respected me
But you didn't want me
Getting really upset when I said you didn't respect me proves my point
But you didn't make any reaction when I said you didn't want me
It doesn't matter It's my problem, not yours
You never lied to me or made dream of something
On the contrary you were really clear with me
But I thought you'd change once you get attached to me
You didn't change because you didn't get attached
You're wrong, Nadine
I got attached to you
Maybe more
I wish this would make me happy
But unfortunately, as they say "Actions speak louder than words"
Anyways, as I told you I'm not here to point any fingers
On the contrary I can't be mad at you
I'm can be only mad at myself
You're free, Jad Live your life the way you like it
Be the player of Beirut again and hunt women down
It's clear that this personality fits you best
You didn't drink your coffee
I had to order anything so we can sit here
But I don't drink coffee
As you should know, of course

Don't worry, of course Don't worry
She wants me to fix her clothes
- Who is she? - Dr. Naji's wife
Dr. Naji's wife? How could you turn her down?
It's okay to turn her down Do I work for her?
- I don't want to leave you alone - I'm fine, dear
I don't want to be with me all the time
I'll just send Alya
I don't want you to be alone What's wrong with you, Adam?
Rola, I didn't like what you've done
What didn't you like?
Thank God We don't need her
God has blessed us All thanks to Him
God has blessed us with Dr. Naji
Is it possible to turn him down for his first request?
It's his wife not him
No, dear, there's no difference between him and his wife
The same way there's no difference between us, right?
Rola
I'll be done soon
Hello!
What do you think about the surprise?
I needed a surprise You brought a gift as well?
Of course!
You shouldn't have we're not strangers
Open it
- How do you open it? - Give it to me
They're really pretty I've never seen anything prettier
I've never seen anything like your talent as well, Mirna
Honestly, I can't wait to see what you'll create with them
Don't raise your expectations I'm having a creative block
I can think neither of good designs nor bad ones
What caused that block? I meant the block between you
- Who? - Fady!
Didn't he block you at work? So he must've blocked your thoughts
You must block and delete anyone that presents a block for you
There's no problem between us He's abroad
Mirna, you must be at you peak now Why aren't you happy?
It's not that I'm not happy I'm just a bit scared
From what?
Fady's expectations
You know you're way better than his expectations
Next! Come on talk, talk!
I'm afraid of things getting mixed up
I mean work getting mixed with our personal life
You know, if one of them is ruined the other will follow
I'm in a relationship that started at work
When our work together was no longer suitable
our relationship was strong enough to endure that
That's why you're travelling to France that much
- Yes - Yes?
How does it work while being far apart?
Mirna!
My work forces me to be in Beirut
But it's best for my partner to stay in Paris
Nothing is guaranteed
Neither the years nor the feelings
The gift is really nice Thank you
No coffee for me?
- We should've made coffee first - It's okay
You're welcome
- Good evening - Hello, dear
It's been a long time Do we need an event to see you?
I hope the next event would be a better one
- I hope so, have a seat - Thank you
Excuse me I must leave
My cousins came from abroad I have to see them
- We'll make it up next time - Thank you
Do you need anything before leaving?
No, thank you
- Just have fun - Okay
If you need anything tell Rose to call me
She has a mobile
I know, but it's easier that way
Don't worry, dear Don't worry
I'll tell Rose if I needed anything
- Excuse me, bye - Be safe
Bye, bye, madam
I'll take it, I'll take it Stay relaxed
Don't exaggerate, Amin I just had a low blood sugar
It's not an open heart surgery
Yes, sure! We got scared, not you
Poor Mirna! She was scared the most
What a bad luck!
She was destined to be strong ever since she was a kid
It's like the universe knew what her future holds for her
This girl is special
and you turned out to be an excellent father, Amin
I'm sure you would've been an amazing mother
- It was not in the cards for me - We're living it right now!
Who told you kids grow up?
They'll always be kids to their parents
For example, sometimes I follow her with a sandwich
for her not to leave the house without breakfast
Other times, I go to her room when it's cold to cover her
I know that she kicks the cover off of her while sleeping
- That's reassuring! - Sure
Here you go
You're offering me snacks already? Do you want me to eat fast and go?
No, God forbid Don't say that
Thank you, Nouhad
I didn't come here to eat I came here to check up on you
To see if you're doing well or if you need anything
I'm really good
Next time you shall visit me at my house
Thank you, Amin
If it weren't for you I would be living a meaningless life
You meant saying if it wasn't for Mirna
No, I meant you
You took me out of my prison
Even Mirna, if it weren't for you Mirna wouldn't have been with me either
I hope you don't need anyone ever
- Hello - Mirna dear, where are you?
- Here - Where?
Your phone has been off for a while
I think there's no signal at the workshop
- Are you good? - Yes, I'm good
What's up with your voice? What's wrong?
I was sleeping
- Where? At the workshop? - Yes
Why?
I was tired so I slept at the office
Are you about to be sick? Where you up all night?
I was focused on drawing so I got sleepy, that's it
- How's work? - Not good
- Why? - Because I'm not good
What's wrong, Mirna? Are you okay?
We'll talk once you come here
We should talk once you come here
It seems important
Okay, no problem
Go home and tell me once you get there
- Okay - I'm waiting for you
Don't wait for me
Okay, I'm gonna call in a bit Answer my call
Mirna, dear The driver will be there in 15 minutes
Close the workshop whenever you want Then go to your house
Please, go and have some rest
Dear, you're still here? Haven't you gone already?
I was going out
You said that before but you're still here
I don't know
I keep on saying I wanna go out Then I just slack off
Slack off?
Weird, right?
Usually, it's not, but for you it is
Goodbye
Weren't you supposed to tell me that you pushed your wedding date forward?
Must I know from others?
It is indeed as you said
God loves me He's rewarding me
When will you tell me the thing I must know of?
Wow!
Are you trying to do what you used to do with your brother
turning the tables on him to escape the situation you're in?
I can't believe it! It's like you're describing yourself
They wonder why I'm like you!
When did you plan on telling me about Youssef's mother?
Why would he tell you about it?
He told me about it? He didn't tell me anything
Why would he? I'm neither his sister nor his relative
I knew about it the same way you knew about my plans
At least my plan was made an hour ago
but your thing has been going on for years
Stop your childish acts and tell me how did you know?
Who knows as well?
Is that what you care about? Why didn't you tell me?
This matter was done before you were even born
Well, here it is It's not done!
I looked like the silly girl who knows nothing about family matters!
- Who told you? - Dana
She asked me spontaneously...
"So how's Youssef's mother? Did you see her?"
"Why did your father say she's been dead all these years?"
See her? See her where?
At Youssef's house She's there right now
What? At Youssef's place?
What are you saying? Who's living where?
When did this happen? How come we didn't know about this?
Why are you shocked? I thought you knew
Of course not!
I neither know how she looks nor the place she's staying in
All I know is that she's alive
and that she lives in a mental hospital far away from here
I thought she was never gonna leave
Why?
Because I wasn't gonna let anyone ruin my life!
When I married your father
He wasn't the Mounir Al Talle you know
He was a simple yet smart guy
He worked hard
He had a child from his late wife who died shortly after giving birth
I fell in love with them both
I defied my parents and stood against them
to stay with the widowed father who came from a different background
I believed and trusted him
I promised him and myself to be a good mother for Youssef
in every way I can
I think you've witnessed that Youssef can't deny it
Years after you were born and you both grew up
our life remained perfect Just the way I planned it
Then I find out that Mounir had lied to me all this time
I found out that his wife was alive
but she was living in a mental hospital far from here
Suddenly, they call us from the hospital saying she's all better now
let her come into your lives and ruin it completely!
What did you do?
What was best for you and your brother
This lady had to stay dead to the world
This was my condition to forgive Mounir for the years of lies
Where were she all these years?
She remained at the hospital living the good life she was used to
What made her come back all of a sudden?
Your father
He felt guilty before leaving us and ruining everything
So he wrote a letter and told Youssef about her
- Did he tell him everything? - I don't know
I don't think so because Youssef didn't agree to show me the letter
But...
Youssef blamed me for keeping the news away from him
Why did Youssef want to talk to her all of a sudden?
Why didn't he do that once our father died?
I don't know I don't know anything about this
It's clear that the truth is being revealed
Oh dear! My lovely son!
What's wrong with you?
I got scared
So you fell in love!
- Is she worth it? - Have you seen her?
I don't have to see her
If she has done this to you then she must be worth it
Are you happy, auntie?
Sure, I'm happy for the both of us
Don't be so happy I upset her
I knew it I swear I did
Since she called to decline the birthday invitation
- What did she say? - She didn't have to say anything
I know you very well Rude and coward!
- Is it my fault? - It's not your fault, dear
Why do I always end up losing?
Because it's your choice
What do you mean, auntie? What do you mean?
I mean you chose this path
Maybe because your father isn't the perfect example
and your mother's situation is heartbreaking
You're afraid you'd end up like one of them
Either the wrong-doer or the wronged
But you don't have to end up like either
Isn't there a third option?
There's a million options not just a third one
Not all of them are nice
They're different from what you know or you think you know
Enough, dear Stop living like this
You're way passed the stage of fearing monsters
Trust me, I'm fine
No, don't cancel your flight for me
You'll be here after two days anyways
Fady, I just called you to get inspired for the collection
Plus, I'm second-guessing my decision so I thought I'd talk to you
Can you continue your work?
Yes, I promise
We'll talk about it when you come here
Deal, okay Goodbye
Me too, bye
If I called you ahead, you wouldn't have answered
Even if you did, you wouldn't have allowed me to come here
- Why did you come then? - We can't be far from each other
We can't be in contact
The last time we did a problem occurred
As if we're friends!
Do you really consider it a problem?
Are you crazy?
Of course it's a problem in our situation
I'm not saying it's normal
But don't you think it's the right thing to do?
Don't you feel like being together is right and everything else is wrong?
No, it's not possible Really?
What are you made of?
Do you wanna act as you please without having to pay the price?
I didn't want anyone to be mad at me
- I forced myself... - Forced yourself?
You forced yourself?
What did you do to me then?
You're myself
We are one You're my soul
Have you ever seen someone living without a soul?
No, enough! Enough!
Our story has ended
There must be a problem, right?
- What kind of problem? - I don't know, you tell me
You're the one on your phone not giving me any attention
Aren't you the one who wanted to have lunch?
No dear, I could've taken my food and left
Really nice! We didn't have to get out then
I'm serious, Alya
You should've stayed at your house
There was no need to go out
Is there something wrong with you?
- Yes, there is - What is it?
I won't do as you say
I don't tell you to end your calls when you answer them and leave me
There must be something I don't know about
- Leave the phone and talk to me - Enough, don't be silly!
I'm leaving
Don't you dare think about following me or sending me a message
or calling to apologize I never wanna see you again
Fouad!
Since you're free and you can do whatever you want now
You must answer me honestly What will you choose?
I chose already
I don't want to live without you
You're everything to me
You've dropped some sadness on the floor!
- What's with the long face? - I don't mean to
I feel like I'm not doing you right
You're a young man
You need a young girl who can hang out with you
Okay, maybe you don't like to go out, that's unlike you
But you have the right to show your love to the world
So why do you stay on coming her secretly?
No problem
I'll knock on the neighbor's door and ask for something
and I'll make them feel like there's something going on between us
- Don't do that - See?
It means you don't want this not I
What shall we do? Shall we live like outlaws forever?
Why would we stay here?
Why would we stay in the same country as Sami?
Let's go to a different country so we can feel relaxed
Do you think it's easy to change one's life?
A person must feel safe We don't feel safe here
We're afraid of Sami and of the people
I'm serious, Hayat
We must go to a country where we can feel safe at least
Where shall we go? Outside of Lebanon?
I don't care whether it's inside or outside of Lebanon
I'll be satisfied with a small apartment
Really, not because I'm afraid of what people might say
I just care about being next to you Looking at your beautiful eyes
I just came here to tell you a couple of things
Don't think I'm saying this to prove a point or give you hope
I'm not gonna waste my life and yours running away anymore
It won't work
I don't know how to live anymore
I can't live one more day being a liar I'm sick of it
I've had enough of everything
Do you think I'm happy?
Do you think I'm living carefree?
You'd be wrong if so
I'm dead on the inside
It's more than just our love
I have a problem living like that
I have a problem living without you
You're the only one that changed me
but even if you said you don't want me anymore
I've had enough I've had enough
I can't live as a liar anymore
Do you understand me?
This is your issue Don't include me in it
I'm gonna leave her
Mira?
Yes, dear?
What's wrong, dear?
I'm tired
I want to relax
What is it? Is everything okay?
- Are you okay? - I'm good, I'm doing fine
I want to tell you something I should've said way earlier
If your health is okay Everything else is manageable
Enough, we're worried What's wrong?
You've worried us
I'm not alone anymore
