[Kris] All right. Virgin Radio 104.4.
We're live here on The Kris Fade Show.
Priti Malik. Big Rossi. We're ready to do this.
[Zeina] Kris called me.
ZEINA KHOURY
"I want you to be on The Kris Fade Show."
So I said, "Okay, why not?"
Hello, Mom. Hello, Dad. It's Virgin Radio.
-The Kris Fade Show across the country. -Whoo!
[Big Rossi] Yeah.
BIG ROSSI
It's Valentine's Day today, guys.
We're gonna be celebrating it, not only here in the UAE,
but across the world.
I want to introduce you to a close friend of mine.
Now, if you don't know Zeina…
KRIS FADE
…she's a pioneer of the real estate industry
here in Dubai.
How did it all start for you here in Dubai?
-Especially when it comes to property. -Hmm. Okay, so I was promised a job.
On my first interview,
they told me, "We don't think you would be a good salesperson."
[Kris] Are you serious?
[Zeina] And the funny story is he walked into our office five years later
and I was the general manager of the company.
-[Priti] No! -[Kris] Oh, my God, in your face.
All right. Big day, Valentine's Day.
What has Hanna got planned for you?
Where is he taking you? What's going on?
Hanna is actually on a ski trip in Lebanon with Joe.
-[Priti] Wait. -[Kris] Hold on.
-He's gone on a ski trip to Lebanon? -[Zeina] Yes.
-On Valentine's Day? -[Zeina] Yes.
It's Valentine's Day, and he's not next to her.
That is the worst thing you can do.
It's a special day and we've got to do something.
I'm calling Hanna right now. I'm going to call him.
[Priti] Are you upset for her?
-It's Valentine's Day. -[Priti] She's not upset. She's fine.
-[Hanna over cell phone] Hello? -Hanna.
-Hello? -[Kris] It's Kris. How are you?
Kris, how are you, man?
I found out that you've gone to Lebanon with your son
for a boys' ski trip. What's going on?
[laughing] You're just trying to get me in trouble here.
[all laugh]
Did you know when you booked this trip
that it was on Valentine's Day, or did it completely miss your mind?
No, I knew it was on Valentine's Day.
And I know our son is on holidays during this time,
but honestly, we've been married for ten years.
We completely understand each other.
[Kris] Don't go away on Valentine's Day again.
This is it. Next year you're here, okay?
All right, will do.
[Kris chuckles]
Honestly, I'd rather Hanna not be here with me on Valentine's
than him cheating on me every night of the year.
So it's not just about Valentine's Day.
It's about having someone who respects you all through the year.
For me, this is love.

PALM JUMEIRAH WEST BEACH
[Ebraheem] After what happened with Safa and Zeina…
EBRAHEEM AL SAMADI
…Bliss and I made plans to go to the beach for me to vent.
So the other day, I was just chilling at work.
I just look to the right, Safa comes out,
and then Zeina comes out and she's like, up there.
Oh, my God.
And they come in, and they come in pissed,
and I'm like, "Oh, God."
Immediately they said, "Did you tell Farhana
about what we talked about when we had that dinner?"
Yes, that's what I thought.
-We were all together. -And I said I did.
They got dramatic asking why I did that.
-They make drama, they make all this… -Ebraheem, he's a very honest guy…
MARWAN AL-AWADHI
…but sometimes, this honesty can go too far.
There's no filter in what he says, whatever comes to his mind, he says it.
-You know the problem? -Hmm.
What pissed me off is that this is my business.
-Yes. -You're coming to my work.
You can't come to someone's workplace and make this drama.
You've got to respect some situations.
You can't walk into somebody's office and start a fight. That's his workplace.
His employees are there. His staff is there.
Safa, she's just following Zeina.
And Zeina, she thinks that it's funny to mess with Farhana or whatever.
But, the issue started with who's fake and who's not.
Yeah. Who's fake in the group?
Who's Dolce & Gabbana and who's Dolce & Karama?
[both laughing]
[server] Good morning.
-Cool! Thank you so much. -Wow! Thank you.
-Zeina. -[Ebraheem] Fake!
[Bliss laughs]
Safa.
-Fifty-fifty. -Because she's hanging out with Zeina?
-If she wasn't hanging out with Zeina? -Real.
I don't know what Zeina did, but Ebraheem is really angry with her.
They are…
bumping heads.
The way I see it, Farhana and LJ are reason behind all this.
Look, I think it's time for them to definitely speak,
and you're the only real connection between them.
It's a problem that's just spreading.
If you don't take care of it, it'll go everywhere.
-Okay. Done. -And you got to promise me one thing.
I'll solve LJ and Farhana's problem.
-Deal? -Deal.
-All right. -I'm the peacemaker, guys.
Peace, love and happiness.
Your boy is out here.

-We're matching today! -Happy Valentine's Day! Yes, right.
-We're dressed the same. -Yes.
-I changed the waistband. -I came to see if you need any help.
Thank you, darling.
[LJ] Lojain is hosting Valentine's dinner.
I went to help with the decorations and be there if she needs anything.
LOUJAIN ADADAH
Thank you so much.
-It looks amazing. -[LJ] How are the preparations?
[Lojain] I've been going at it since morning.
[LJ] How beautiful!
-I love the whole mood. It's so nice. -[Lojain chuckles]
You do this every year.
-Frankly, I do. -So nice.
I love it a lot.
Some people might say Valentine's Day is for couples.
What about those with a partner
who doesn't care for Valentine's
or who's busy or travelling?
-Why shouldn't we celebrate? It's nice. -Sure.
I'm excited for tonight's dinner.
I'm celebrating with my close friends
because I believe nothing beats gathering people
over love, joy, surprises, and gifts.
The last time I celebrated Valentine's Day
was when my husband was ill
and was in the hospital.
That was the last time I celebrated it.
I sympathize a lot with LJ. Sometimes there's pain and sorrow when she talks.
I always say that we can
bury any sad memory away and replace it with a happy one.
We celebrated love, and then he died a month after Lana was born.
-Oh, my dear! -So it was kind of a shock to me.
It was my last Valentine's Day with him.
It was, uh… It was emotional and, um…
I always remember our good times.
It would've been better
if I spent today with my Valentine, but it's fine.
I got used to it. I'm still totally fine being with my daughters.
They are my Valentines.

-[Safa] How are you? -[man] Hi.
We'd like to see your best fabric.
I decided to do a fashion show.
SAFA SIDDIQUI
I'm stressed and in a hurry.
So I asked Zeina for help and told her
we have to finalize the fabrics.
-This is no. -[man] Look at these colors.
No.
No. No.
What about this? It's double-faced.
Like many of our friends, double-faced.
[both laugh]
-What else do you have? -Get inside to get us more options, Yaser.
This collection has to work.
No. No.
-[Zeina] This is nice. -No, looks like a sofa.
-[Zeina] Hmm? -Looks like a sofa.
I want it to be perfect. I don't want it to be less than perfect.
My reputation is on the line.
You know, this is my first time doing a collection of my own.
-So it's, like, very-- -[Zeina] It's super important.
Yeah, it's very nerve-wracking.
What does Fahad think of this? Surely he's happy.
He's pretty supportive actually, surprisingly.
That I don't want another kid.
-[Zeina] You told him? -Yeah.
Did you get your period?
No, not yet.
She hasn't done the test yet? Isn't she curious to know?
-We need to get you checked up. -Not so loud, Yaser will hear us.
I don't want to do a test. I don't need to.
I know my body, I'm under stress. I have my fashion show, I have the house.
I have responsibilities. Of course, I'm going to miss my period.
-Ugh! Even this is like a bridesmaid. -No, it's beautiful.
-I'm not getting married again. -Hold on, relax.
Everything is under control.
[upbeat music playing]
-Baby! -[Brianna] Yeah!
Can you come out? I need help.
[gasps] What's that?
Happy Valentine's!
-Really? -Yeah.
I was just shook.
BRIANNA RAMIREZ
I had no idea he was planning any of this.
I loved it, it was just the best, the best gift ever.
It's Valentine's Day, so I got a Tesla car for Brianna.
Happy Valentine's, baby.
Wait! What? Happy Valentine's Day!
After Kris and I did the therapy,
our therapist actually introduced us to the love languages,
and it was a way to help us communicate more.
Oh, my God, I can't believe it.
We found out that his love language is personal touch,
and my love language is receiving gifts.
-This is mine? [chuckles] -No, it's mine.
-It's yours, baby. Brand-new, all for you. -Oh, my God!
He is so thoughtful and he knows my love language.
[chuckles] So that helped.
I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. It's perfect.
Oh, my God.
My goodness!

-This is mine? I can't believe it. -Yes. Beep the horn.

[Zeina] Lojain Omran invited us over for a ladies' night for Valentine's.
She invited the single ladies.
I think she invited me because Hanna isn't in the country.
[women chattering and laughing]
[enchanting music playing]
Ladies in red.
Nothing is more beautiful.
My close friends.
All I care about is for them to be happy spending time at my place.

Wait a minute.
-No! -No! [exclaims]

Can you tell me if my husband is cheating?
[laughter]
No?
ASEEL OMRAN

-[Zeina] She's right on time. -[Lojain] Finally!
Aseel is my long-awaited sister.
She's an actress and a singer.
-[camera shutter clicking] -She's also the face for many brands.
She's always busy. I was worried she wouldn't make it, but she did.

[Zeina] The bracelets were beautiful.
I loved them.
Thank you.
Speech, speech, speech, speech, speech!
Every year, I celebrate Valentine's
with my female friends and loved ones,
whether married or not,
in a relationship or not.
Also whose relationship is complicated or who is divorced or widowed,
even who's been cheated on and doesn't know what to do.
I believe that Valentine's Day is beautiful.
Whether I have a man to celebrate it with or not, it doesn't matter.
-Now we know the stories we have in here. -[laughter]
And the one whose husband travelled
with complete disregard to Valentine's Day.
-[chuckling] Okay. Okay. -I trust my husband Hanna.
But a couple of days ago, one of my friends called me,
she was hesitant to tell me that someone
saw an account for Hanna on a dating app called Bumblebee.
-What? -[Zeina] Okay.
He called himself "Gilles" there. [chuckles]
No!
-No! -[woman] Are you serious?
Zeina, it's true?
[woman] Surely there's a story behind it.
Five hundred percent, it's not true at all.
Did you talk to Hanna about it? Even jokingly?
Not yet, but I couldn't care less about it.
Anyone can take a picture and upload it there.
Exactly.
Zeina probably started the conversation as a joke,
but deep inside, it's troubling her.
The gossip has already started. Some people were like,
"Look, Zeina's husband
-has an account on Bumblebee." -They found something to talk about.
And now it's Valentine's…
But no, I don't doubt him.
[Lojain laughing] After all this!
Cheers to Hanna who is present here even though he's away.
To Hanna!
[laughter]
If any of you wants to be with Hanna, he's available on Bumblebee
-as "Gilles". -Unbelievable!
[laughter]
[LJ] Oh, my God, Zeina.
She's taking it as a joke. I don't understand.
The problem is some women know their husband is cheating or seeing someone
-regardless of the type of cheating. -But she loves him or won't let go.
Not that, some women need their husband to support them financially,
and some are scared for their "prestige" in society.
They think the husband is like an "item", thinking having one is essential in life.
Everyone cheats. Some get caught, and some don't.
I can't live a moment in that struggle. I can't handle doubts and anxiety.
[Lojain] Usually, when ladies get together,
they speak about two things,
beauty and fashion, and men. [laughs]
I heard about this in so many places, from several nationalities,
where an agreement is held between the husband and wife.
-One finds out the other is cheating… -Hmm. Open relationship.
They agree on an open relationship…
That's nonsense.
We each do whatever we'd like.
But pretend we're made for each other in front of people.
-"But we're in love." -[Aseel] It's ugly.
Especially when they have kids.
Don't think the kids don't notice, they do and they get hurt more than you do.
Thankfully, I've never cheated or been cheated on.
If you're not happy with your husband, get a divorce.
Same for the husband.
Whatever problems you have with her, it's not acceptable that you cheat.

Zeina, I want to ask you a question.
Do you want to go inside?
There. Lojain can join us.
Do you want us to move?
[LJ] I think you have to investigate.
-Hanna? -Yes.
It's not a very famous app.
LJ doesn't know Hanna very well. So I wasn't offended at all.
What should I do? Create a Bumblebee account?
I know Hanna quite well.
-Huh? -[Lojain] Out of ten,
how much do you trust him?
Uh, twenty.
I get it, if you have trust, I completely understand.
Just investigate.
Because they are used to men cheating,
to them, it's always a questionable matter.
It's okay. I know what I have.
If they want to talk, I don't mind it.
Why are you sitting?
The party isn't over. We should dance, celebrate and have fun.

Well, it's funny you say that
because I actually need to talk to you too.
Oh, my God.
I'm here, she's in front of me. This is the time.
So a lot of people have been asking me,
like our friends, they're like, "Is Danya jealous of your work,
and what you do and…"
First of all, you've never actually spoken to me about this conversation,
because every time I try talking about it,
you dismiss it or you're like, "You're just jealous,
stop making a big deal, you're so dramatic."
You always dismiss my feelings.
And you've done it so much over the years,
it's gotten to a point where
I just don't talk to you about my feelings
and I try to suppress them.
It was stuff that we used to talk about earlier on in our marriage,
but I didn't realize that she's actually keeping these feelings, uh, suppressed,
and she still has those feelings inside.
But if I'm not doing anything wrong, why am I being accused of doing stuff?
Yeah, but you're not giving attention to my feelings.
I'm a human being with feelings.
-And you disregard my feelings. -See. Now you're checking your phone.
-I'm putting it on silent-- -I'm talk--
I'm talking to you about something genuinely serious.
Literally, I'm pressing "Do Not Disturb". Look, I swear.
I'm done keeping everything in.
I don't want to do that and I want him to know.
I've been hurt so much.
-By who? -By you.
I haven't done anything.
I'm like, "What is going on?"
-Okay, what if I was a DJ… -Hmm.
…and I'm DJing and I have, uh, male dancers dancing in front of me?
If I'm doing everything right,
I'm not talking to anyone, I'm coming home,
I'm just going to do my work,
then why do I even have to have this conversation right here?
I don't get it.
I know you don't, that's the problem.
-That's the problem in our relationship. -But that's not the problem.
-People need to talk. -This is-- Marwan, can I talk?
I don't know what else to do. I mean, I've tried everything.
Marwan, you never compliment me.
-You never say I look pretty. -Hmm.
As a woman, I would like my husband to compliment me.
Got a song today, got some jewelry today, gonna go--
Darling, you know how many jewelry sets I have?
This isn't going to make my feelings, uh, feel better.
Do you understand, as a woman, how I feel?
[solemn music playing]
Yes.
That's it, I just want you to understand 'cause, like…
Yeah, like, when you have a certain feeling…
-Hmm. -…and you suppress it so much,
I think at one point it's going to explode.
And so far, for seven years,
I've been keeping my feelings in and hidden.
But there's so much a person can take,
and that's… that's all I'm saying.
-One thing that would mean a lot to me… -Hmm.
…is if you don't do the six-pack surgery.
I don't know.
I don't know. I think partly, she's a little worried for me
to do any kind of procedure.
But I thought maybe I can smooth things out.
I'm not doing it.
Thank you, Marwan. I love you.

What is the normal budget for roses? What have you done in the past?
The last wedding we did was around 100 to $200,000.
Just for flowers?
[Tasneem] Just the flowers, but that was over three days.
-Oh. -That was over three days.
Well, for me, personally, the budget isn't an issue.
We do okay.
Well, Kris does okay, and I know he can afford it.
I want this wedding to be memorable.
That's crazy, like, for me, that's wasting money.
I think we can have something so beautiful.

[Zeina] With all the work I have,

-Do it! Do it! -…I'm going nuts.
I come back home with no energy to take them anywhere.
Maria is like my biggest support system.
Without her, I don't know what to do.
Alexa was having some problems lately.
Uh…
She got attached to both her father and the nanny.
If they are around,
uh, she refuses to be with me, saying, "No, Mommy. Yucky Mommy."
I cry in my room each time she says that.
-[Alexandra] Mom! -What?
Come. Joe, what are you doing?
Come, Lulu, we're going to catch you!

Most days, I can't come home before the kids' bedtime.
But when I have that opportunity,
I try spending some quality time with them to show my love and support for them.

How was it at Lojain's?
The party night at Lojain's?
-Singles' day. -It was nice.
We were talking about dating apps and how to meet people.
Two days earlier, uh… [clicks tongue]
…one of my friends was warning me
that there's a possibility Hanna is on one of the dating apps.
-What? Come on, that's impossible. -[Zeina] Huh?
-Impossible. -I know, exactly.
I laughed when they told me this. No way that's true.
Even if Hanna thought about cheating,
he would never try a dating app.
Huh.
I cannot believe Zeina told the story about Bumblebee to other girls.
Why would you do this?
Tell me, okay? I'm not going to judge.
I know him. So it's like obviously, this is bull.

Alina, do you want a brother or a sister?
We will go now to see if you have a sister or a brother.
Come on, I'm not waiting anymore.
[Safa] Wait, let me have some water.
She just came to the park with a pregnancy test.
Where do you want me to do this, in the bush? I don't understand.
I need to drink. I don't have any pee in me.
[Zeina] Go on.
[Safa] I'm not ready to know, you know this.
[Zeina] Come on, don't get a panic attack now.
I don't really think I was mentally prepared for any type of… big news.
[tense music playing]
Anyway, whatever it is, I'm here for you.
[Safa] Yeah, you'll have the baby for me also?
No, but I'll throw the baby shower, I promise.
The best baby shower in town. [chuckles]
She can't escape me anymore. Now we'll know if she's pregnant or not.
[sighs]
Honestly, I didn't really want to know the answer
because obviously, I'm not ready for a baby.
What? Show me.
What does that mean?
I think that means no, right?
I don't know, didn't you read the instructions? Let's google it.
I think that means no.
-When there's a line and… It's that blue-- -I'm looking and this says no.
Let's see.
-See? -The cross means you're pregnant.
-Oh, thank God. -Not pregnant.
-Will you finish this now, please? -We're done.
I'm not a selfish person.
If it had happened, obviously, I'd be happy too.
It's just, it's such a big life-changing thing.
You don't know what it is until it happens.
-Lulu! -Lulu, what brought you here?
[upbeat music playing]
I had an event at Burj Khalifa for Crypto and NFTs called Hacker House Dubai.
FADIE MUSALLET
I invited, uh, LJ.
I want to ask her the question of like, "Hey, can we go out on a date?"
[LJ over cell phone] Hello?
Hi, LJ, where are you?
Almost there.
-There you are. -I'm coming down the escalator.
-I see you. -Hey, you're here.
[enchanting music playing]
It's like seeing Cinderella, right? It's like a movie.
-You look amazing. -[giggles] Thank you, thank you.
I don't know if he was flirting with me, but I'm used to everyone doing the same.
-How are you? -[Fadie] Good to see you.
-Mazen is waiting for us here. -I'm looking forward to this.
[upbeat music playing]
Crypto, is it like dollars?
No, whatever inside the cryptocurrency,
Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, these are all currencies.
Okay, so it's like dollars, sterling, um… Okay.
MAZEN OMRAN
-Dirhams, dinars. -[LJ] Now I get it.
In my head, I'm not even listening to the conversation they're having.
I'm just trying to get prepared to when I'm going to ask her
to take a walk outside, you know?
Uh, LJ, do you mind if we take a walk?
Yeah, sure.
-Mazen, when I get back home… -[Mazen laughs]
…I'll be thinking about NFT and crypto and how to get into the market.
[Mazen] You'll be dreaming of coins falling on you.
[Fadie] I was so nervous.
Now she can either kiss me or diss me.
So anyways, I'm kind of nervous, man.
Why?
Because, I know…
I know you probably expected it or felt it,
but, the more I see you,
the more I'm falling for you, so…
[chuckles] What?
I want to see if there's any way we can go to dinner and see if, you know…
You're just putting me on the spot.
I'm just not ready to commit.
I don't know. For me, it's a big step to be in a relationship.
If I want to be in a relationship, I really need to be fully convinced.
I feel like when you're on a date, it's just a bit intense,
too romantic, and I'm not this kind of person.
I'm so bad in dates.
You don't even have to-- Don't consider it a date.
-But really-- -It's just dinner.
-What if we do this?
-Tell me. -How about if we just go for dinner,
and we have, for example, Zeina and Hanna with us…
-That's fine. -…and maybe another couple?
-I'm fine with that. -Yeah?
She didn't reject me, which is a good thing.
She didn't reject me, and she didn't say clearly, "Yes."
And look at this, see? It lit up with hearts on it.
Where?
The whole building was red with hearts. I guess that was a sign.
-I didn't see anything. -See?
-Yeah, that's right. -It's a sign.
[both chuckle]
It would make me happy if someone lit up a heart on Burj Khalifa.
But I don't think he did it, it was a coincidence,
because it was during the Valentine's Day.
-[Fadie] You just made my day. -[LJ] Okay.
So you actually live on the 60th floor?
-I live on the 60th floor. -Nice.
-How's the view up there? -I love it.
[upbeat music playing]
FAHAD SIDDIQUI
I'm surprising Safa with a late Valentine's gift.
This is the first time I gifted her something like this.
Fahad was acting really weird.
I didn't know what was up with him.
Perhaps he didn't have his tea.
He took me to a building, an apartment building.
I wondered why we were there.
It's not really a place to do a meeting, is it?
[Fahad] Uh…
-Do you like it? -Yeah, it's a nice view.
I got it for you. It's a gift to you.
And Zeina suggested this will be better than getting you jewelry.
-Every year the same thing. -So you're putting me in here?
Is that your surprise? Putting me in here?
He's getting me out of our house,
and getting me here instead of the house next door?
Is he kidding me?
I'm not moving here.
It's a gift to you.
It's not about moving here.
I know no one's moving here, but it's just like maybe…
-Like an additional gift? -Yeah.
[exhales] That was a relief.
I was like, okay, that's cute.
But I was still confused, because everything of his is mine anyway.
So how is this a gift?
Actually, I might just give it to Zeina to rent it for me.
-Yeah. -She can get me a tenant, and I get money.
Anyway, I saw Zeina yesterday. We went to the park.
And she's a psycho friend of mine who thinks I'm pregnant.
Because my period has been late for two weeks.
Okay. Are you?
-What's that supposed to mean? -[chuckling] I'm not pregnant.
[laughing]
Psycho.
I thought maybe we have good news, but no.
She was just being naughty.
But you're so dramatic.
-Why? -"I have something to share."
I love you, thank you so much for this house.
I love it. It is really sweet.
-You're the best husband in the world. -Thank you.
I feel bad 'cause his face was like…
He's just gifted me this, and I've just gifted him false hope.
It's mean.

[LJ] I went to see Ebraheem.
He called me and asked me to meet him
and chat over a cup of coffee.
You asked to see me here, why?
-Tell me. -[chuckles softly]
I'm upset over what's going on between you and…
I'm scared to say her name in front of you.
-Who? -[chuckles softly]
-Tell me. -The F-word. Farhana.
Okay. Here we go again.
If you can come one step and she can come one step and allow me to
solve this, I would be so happy.
You won't have to worry about going to an event and not saying hi to her.
I never worry.
To be honest, I'm never worried about her.
I don't care if she's there or not.
-This looks delicious. -[chuckles] It is.
-I'm going to get something. I'll be back. -Where are you going?
-I'm going to get my special sauce. -Okay.
Tonight, I decided to bring LJ and Farhana together in the café.
I thought it would be the right place to do this.
-[Ebraheem] Listen. -[Farhana] What?
-I need you to meet someone. -Okay.
Okay, but relax.
FARHANA BODI
-Okay? -Trust me, okay?
You trust me, right?
-What is this? -[Ebraheem] Just come.
[Farhana] I'm a bit confused.
What's going on? He didn't tell me anything.
What?
[dramatic music playing]
Just chill, chill, chill.
Ebraheem, what's going on?
[Ebraheem] Have a seat, please. Sit down first.
So you decided to trick me today?
-I don't understand. -I gave you three minutes.
Just relax.
Take a chill.
[Farhana] I was really shocked to see her there.
So I really have to go through this, like, right now?
You can't bring me here, then get her afterwards.
What are you trying to do?
I just want to solve this.
What is she saying in Arabic? Talk in English.
Use your translator.
Listen, Farhana, I understand you got upset with me
because I posted that on Instagram,
and when I posted that story, I literally, I was laughing.
That moment, I thought, "Oh, my God, wait, did I do something that bad?"
You could have called and said, "What's going on?" We could have laughed.
But you didn't have to post it on Instagram.
I took it really on another…
It really affected me
because I had my team in India messaging me, like, "What is this?"
What I was upset about is that she still did not want to apologize.
For me, that was not a joke.
I did take it very seriously.
After that, what did you do, Farhana?
-What did I do? -You kept on telling…
The people who didn't know about the story,
-you made sure everyone knows. -No, I didn't.
Oh, my God, I had people calling me from London.
Let me tell you my reasons. When they ask me, "Can we invite Loujain?"
I say, "We're not on good terms right now."
-This is-- -Wait, just a second.
Just a second. They ask you, "Can we invite Loujain?"
Like, in a group… Like a dinner.
Are you for real?
-[Farhana] I was not-- -Just a second.
Do you really think that people take permission from you
-to invite me to dinner? -No.
I'm not invited if you're with them.
-Farhana. -You know what? I'm not gonna do this.
[Ebraheem] Listen.
Okay, relax, we're here to solve things out.
So solve it by yourself, I'm not doing this.
Honestly, from my side, I'm peaceful from the inside.
I get scared each time we discuss this topic,
because things get worse.
I don't want anyone to come between you
and underestimate your value.
I don't want anyone to humiliate or talk bad about you.
I want us to be in peace.
I want us to travel together, to go somewhere nice.
For me, this is not a reason to make peace, to be honest.
Because she's a mother, because I'm a mother,
our kids know each other.
We shouldn't do this, even for our kids.
My daughters are close friends to your son,
-they love him so much… -Aydin loves them as well.
And the only reason I will make peace is just for the kids.
I think LJ genuinely feels that she has lost a good friend in me.
Uh, at the same time, her daughters were asking about my son,
which is fair enough, because they had a good friendship.
-Get up. -[groans]
-[Ebraheem] Come on, come on. -I don't want--
-Stop. -[Farhana chuckles]
-Okay. -And I'm out, I did my part.
We're good.
Let's leave the past behind,
and look forward to the brightest future ahead.
I think we can have a beautiful friendship
if we just don't listen to people and don't let drama get in between us.
[upbeat music playing]
[LJ] Even if we are reunited,
it will not be the kind of friendship I can always rely on, no.

[Brianna] Hey, babe.
Hi, babe. How are you?
Uh, not good, actually.
Why?
I don't know, I think just…
I don't know, just have a lot in my head, obviously,
with the wedding and everything.
I knew the wedding was going to be full-on,
but the one thing that we agreed on was that you have a role in Fade Fit,
the company that brings income in.
-Yeah. I know. -That's your role.
There's a $28,000 order, and we've lost it.
Now we won't get that order. The client's upset.
We're delaying everything, and that's on you, not on me.
Brianna is the operations manager, our brand manager, our heart.
Her role is really important.
She's just, "Got more important things to deal with this wedding."
And I'm like, "No, the wedding does not outdo our business."
"Our business needs to maintain."
It's a lot of money, that's a good amount of money.
I get that. We can… It's fine.
-It's not fine. -It'll be fine--
It's not fine.
[Brianna] I think he's overreacting.
The next best thing for him to do is to hire somebody to help me.
I can plan a wedding in two weeks.
-My God. Yeah, right. -Give me two weeks.
-I've got most of it sorted. -I wish.
I have all the contacts going
-and got everyone going here. -You're so, like…
-What? -…arrogant.
-I'm not arrogant. -So arrogant.
You're arrogant. You're the one that's telling me
that everything is the way it should be, and I'm the one that's trying.
I'm not, like, superwoman.
I mean, I try to be. I'm trying. I'm doing the best I can.
-You don't. -I told you--
Every time I wanna talk about the wedding,
"No, I'm too tired, I'm tired and I'm busy."
I don't want to argue about the wedding. I'm over it already.
We haven't even had the wedding.
Not over you and I getting married, but over all of this.
-You and I both agree-- -Thank you.
That makes me feel really nice.
You're just micromanaging me with that.
-I'm not micromanaging you. -Okay.
-Not all my-- -I think a little bit.
You're trying to micromanage me.
-You don't have the time. -I do.
Tell me when.
-You don't have the time! -I do!
I'm going to the gym. I can't. I'm done. I'm going.
Exactly.
That's exactly what I mean.
[mellow electronic music playing]
Okay, so we'll start with some breathing. So, inhale. [inhales]
Exhale.
[exhales]
[LJ] After Farhana and I made up,
I spoke with Lojain and suggested we go to a yoga class.
The perfect place to be able to talk and open up.
When we went to the NFT event,
I met Mazen.
-Yes, he was there. -He taught me a lot about crypto.
He invited me, but I refused since he's the one who wants to learn.
We agreed that I give him the money and he invests in the crypto market.
When the event was over, Fadie asked me to talk in private.
-[Lojain] Fadie? -Yes.
Okay.
He said that he likes me.
Really?
You know, he's a nice guy and everything.
You're not--
I feel like I'm always blocking. I'm always blocking and…
[exhales] It's not the first time, I just shut people off.
-Okay. Why? -I don't know.
You're afraid to commit to a relationship.
-[LJ] I'm scared. -You're not ready.
You should ask yourself why.
[Lojain] LJ told me that her mother left her
when she was young and moved on with her life.
So she needs to solve those issues first.
I thought of you. I don't like to interfere, but it's up to you.
The thing is…
your mother is estranged.
Life is too short.
I don't want you to regret one day not giving your relationship a chance.
I know, but this is not up to me.
I tried to talk to her about it and see if she's willing to allow me to help her.
I would love to.
Do you think that issue is affecting my relationships?
Of course it is.
The issue of not having your mother around scares you.
The fact that you married the person you loved,
and you had two beautiful daughters together,
and then, I don't want to say he left you, but he's not around anymore,
and you're still attached to him.
It's going to be scary for you to be in a relationship and commit.
[somber music playing]
No, don't cry. Please, no!
No, no! Don't, don't, no.
I'm trying to help you.
I don't want you to feel sorry.
I don't like to interfere, but I don't want time to pass,
and for you to reach a point
where regret consumes you.
If you allowed me to help you, I would love to.
[voice shaking] He was…
He was the only one who tried to reunite me with my mother, but he left.
I know, I know, I know.
My husband, may he rest in peace,
was the only one who could get her to come.
We had a fight, and that was it.
Since then, I didn't see her.
[kisses]
Oh, darling.
She will come back.
Just give me the green light.
Give me the green light and I'll do everything.
Okay.
[Lojain] I went through circumstances that hindered me from raising my kids.
Difficulties that disrupted the communication between me and them.
I know the feeling
when a mother is forced out of her kids' lives.
No mother would choose leaving her kids.
No way.
[exhales] Okay.
You only have one mother,
you can't replace her.
Everything in life is replaceable, and I always say that, Loujain.
But your mother and father were here before you.
You can't turn back time and replace them.
I want to reunite her with her mother, nothing is worth more than a mother.
She lives in America, right? Okay.
-In which state? -I don't know.
I talk to her on Instagram, I don't have her number or email.
You have the account.
Yes, but we barely talk.
She doesn't answer when I ask, and she doesn't send me pictures.
-Is she married? -I don't know.
My mom left when I was two years old,
and I can't remember a day my mom took me to a mall.
Or even remember a day my mom took me for lunch.
I don't have any kind of memory of that.
She's… she's alive, but she's not present.
Okay, give me her account.
This is it.
[sniffles]
You react to her pictures. Hold on, your mother is vegan.
She's vegan, yeah.
She's that empathetic with animals
she doesn't want to eat. "Animals are not for food."
You're compassionate and empathetic,
and you care for animals, but what about your daughter?
I want to send her a picture of us.
Okay.
I feel like I'm in an action movie. I'm so thrilled.
[LJ] Can you tell if she saw it?
It shows.
[both] "Active four hours ago."
[Lojain] Hmm.
"I'm Loujain's friend."
We wanted to say hi to you. Loujain is in good hands.
[LJ] Aw.
-I care for you too. -Darling.
Oh, my God, I'm imagining her reaction when she sees it.
[sighs] Let's… let's see what's going to happen.
[Lojain] I'm waiting for her response on my text.
I'm hoping for a happy ending.
