-Come. -See you.
Bravo!
-Are you okay? -Yeah, I'm okay.
Your-- your body language is like…
-You sure no one needs to get smashed? -No, no. It's fine. I'm-- I
-knew he was coming, but I wasn't-- -Sure?
I didn't know he was going to come like this.
Is he your partner in this project? He… he also works with GoldPesa.
Heroies, the ex-husband of Farhana, is there.
He's a partner in the company. Of course he will attend the launch!
I'm a bit like-- I get a bit-- I get a bit nervous. Anyway…
-No! -You still get nervous? Why?!
I don't know, babe. Because it's been a while,
I haven't seen him, like, properly, and… like…
-I wasn't expecting this! -Seriously?!
I felt that he still has an effect on her,
I didn't really understand what got her to be that emotional.
Seeing him flusters her that much!?
What was this?
It's the same thing that's going on and on for so many years.
He wants Aydin to be okay with his other woman that he's with.
Are you really sitting at that party, talking about something so out of context?
Why do you want to dampen her spirits?
The thing is, I said to him, it was any other girl,
I would accept.
-Why? What's wrong with that girl? -Because there's history behind it.
-Yeah. Exactly. -Mm.
Ah, I see.
-Aydin once said "mommy" to her -When I showed her picture.
-I can't, babe! I lost it. -No!
I freaking lost it!
Aydin has one mother, and that's Farhana, and no one can take her place.
-You're crossing the line. -Aydin is my one and only.
I will do anything for Aydin!
I will protect his energy!
But, dear, if he's serious about her, you'll have to eventually introduce him.
-What's happening? -No, no. I will never, Mahira.
I can understand her.
But regardless of whether she was the cause of your divorce or not,
make peace with it. Move on.
Okay, that's it. Uh, hello?
Abort the mission. Don't do anything to the husband.
Farhana husband, abort mi-- mission. Okay, thank you. It's heavy.
It's not easy.
DUBAI BLING
-He needs to know that -I'm never going to let anyone…
I know. Life goes on, right?
…To hurt you. And he needs to understand
that you have a back. That's what he needs to know.
-Things happen. Yeah, of course. -So, I will make it clear to him that you
have brothers in Dubai, -and they're not going to let anyone to, to…
Of course, of course.
When Farhana is with him, she's not helself.
I don't like that situation, at all.
So, I have to talk to Heroies, and see what's going on.
Yeah.
-Just-- You want to just walk over there? -So, we're just having backup, you see?
It's not my business, you know,
between-- what's happening between you and her. But I just
want to know, like, was this planned? Like, you came today…
-like, to upset her? Or is it just -something that happened?
-First of all, it's my event, right? -So, I am going to be at my event.
For me, to do right by Aydin and by Farhana,
I've given her equity in my company, so I know, whatever it is,
if anything happens, you know? She'll be okay,
my son is going to be okay. But I haven't had the
time to speak to her.
The perfect time to catch her is here, right? Otherwise, where will I catch her?
Me and Farhana, we don't meet. We didn't even speak properly for a while.
Thank you so much! It was just all emails.
So, the plan was to go and, uh… well, catch her alone.
And… it didn't really happen.
As usual, whatever we spoke about,
she went aside and spoke
to her friends about it.
And again, it became a big brouhaha.
Why is Ebraheem always in the middle of every drama?
-I just want you to understand -Her point of view. Yeah.
-Bro, I'm not the villain here. -I'm the b-- I'm-- I'm the good guy here.
There's no, like-- This is not-- It's a battle.
It's not me versus her. My intention is to solve this situation.
The last thing I want is Ebraheem and Heroies
fighting at my event. I was like, "I don't want any of this happening
Obviously, I went to see what's happening.
Tonight."
We'll talk about it another day whenever we need to, but for now, enough.
-Compromise. You compromise, -She compromises…
-Only one thing I can compromise with. -He knows.
-Yeah, but that's-- -They're just dumb reasons.
What is dumb reasons?! Excuse me! It's a very valid reason,
Okay, what is-- Tell me the reason.
-Tell me-- -And I have every right
-to be angry. I'm sorry. -What's the reason? What's the reason?
He wants Aydin to accept his girlfriend…
who he cheated with me on.
-Okay, let her-- let her-- -Oh my God!
-Stop. The whole world knows. -Listen… Listen, Farhana…
It's a fact!
Why he doesn't want to admit it? He cheated, not one time, not two times,
many times.
-Is he trying to protect her? -I don't understand why you have
to talk shit, Farhana.
-Like, why do you have to talk shit? -I'm not talking shit
-anyone. The world knows. -You did. You started talking shit.
-You said I left you for another woman. -You did, Heroies!
Why you're lying? No, I didn't! Stop lying!
-Oh my God! -Don't fucking piss me
-off! I left you for you! -Enough. Enough, enough, enough, enough.
I left you for the way you behaved!
Enough.
I feel that Farhana…
is broken when she's in front of him.
But what they both don't understand is that their child is the one who's
getting hurt in the middle.
And that is wrong.
-What's up? -Hi! You look insane!
-Hey, bro, thanks for trying, but it's a-- -It's a waste of time.
-I know you're trying, -I know you're trying.
-I'll-- I'll, I'll keep trying -Until it works.
-No, no. I appreciate it. Thanks for -Trying. It's a waste of time, man.
Ebraheem takes Farhana as a sister.
I'm going to reach out to him to try and see if he can kind of… you know,
mitigate the situation.
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us today.
We are overwhelmed with excitement at our celebration of GoldPesa.
Farhana!
Thank you, guys. Thank you, everyone.
Let's get the dinner started, and then, the after party. Enjoy!
We sat down to have dinner. I still don't know who
sent me the package. So, I felt it was a good
time for me to ask
Ebraheem if he was the one who sent it.
Although, honestly,
I'm not doubting him that much.
Ebraheem?
Did you send me something to my office?
I swear, it can be done.
Mm.
I received something that's a bit weird.
What?
Let me see who sent it first, so I-- know what to make of it.
If I was to bring you
something gift, I'll bring it in person. Zeina has no idea what she's in for.
When will you come see me at the office?
It's bigger than your last office, right?
-Whenever. Whenever you're free. -Yeah. I would love to.
Zeina is still the same. She hasn't changed.
But I feel that she's come to a point…
where she realized, she can beat me.
I would like to congratulate her on her new office, and pay her a visit there.
When I want to come see you, I want to explain to you…
the difference between when were not good, and we are good. So, inshallah.
-You'll be happy, don't worry. -I'm happy that we've
given each other this chance,
and I would love to get to know you more.
I really appreciated that he showed me a different side
than the Ebraheem that I know…
And…
I am sure
that Ebraheem was not the one who sent the package.
Guys, can we have everyone here?
We've got the DJ of the year, my brother, DJ Bliss, in the house!
Last year was a big year for me.
I really worked on creating my own independence,
and my own space, my own office.
I had a lot of support from my dad, Daddy Cool,
and it's been a game changer for me.
I have an area for product development, I have my perfume library
which is so important to me.
A wardrobe, a hair wash basin…
The only thing I forgot was a bed.
And I wish I put one in there so I could… sleep there sometimes.
Today, I'm going to congratulate Mona on the opening of her new office.
Come in!
-Peekaboo! -Hi! Oh my God! It's so
-good to see you, gorgeous! -Hi!
Aw!
-You look amazing! This is gorgeous! -Okay, I'm in love with your office.
Thank you so much, honey!
-Thank you, habibti! -You can see Mona's touch
in every single corner.
You look amazing…
Beautiful!
-Amazing! -I like!
-Yeah. -I'm sure everyone is telling you!
-Your Arabic is so sweet and cute. -Yeah. -You have to try and practice a bit more.
It's about time.
I'm shy.
I mean, every time I speak, people would laugh at me.
No! Why would you be shy? Ah…
-No. No one laughs at you. No, no, no. -I swear. Every time.
Inshallah?
You were at event Farhana.
We were shocked that her ex, Heroies, is in the event,
and that he's actually a partner in the, uh… company.
-Oh my God! It was crazy, yes? -Partnering up with your ex, I think,
is taking it to the next level. And the problem is,
when her ex showed up,
she was still…
you know, flustered,
-and tearful… And about to breakdown. -Yeah.
I don't think she took the time to heal. Farhana's problem is…
she runs away, from her emotions!
If you don't face them, how are you living?
You're going to keep running? Then what?
One of the reasons why I've been away…
-Mm. -…for the past few years, was that… I'm
going through things in my life. So, I need to take the time to…
Mm.
…Like, face my fears, face my feelings.
When I took the decision to get a divorce, I mean, I cried for two weeks non-stop.
I isolated myself from people.
So, I needed…
not even to give myself time to heal,
I needed to give myself time to understand what I'm going through.
What helped was…
-my acting coach. -Really? Wow!
Because, for you to act,
you have to go back into the memory of emotions
-that you have developed over the years. -That's super interesting.
-Come in! -That sounds like a daddy knock.
-Hi! -Hello, habibi! Come in! My
dad has always loved meeting my friends. This is Mahira.
-He's always like, the daddy figure -To all my girlfriends.
Mahira, good to see you. The honor is mine, yeah.
How are you doing? It's an honor to meet you.
He's really excited to meet Mahira. I've told him so much about her,
and I'm really excited.
How is it, working with Mona?
Well, working with Mona is amazing.
She's wonderful, she's very…
I mean…
passionate, and… and she pampers me a lot.
-Aw! -Habibi.
Daddy Cool really loves coming to work every day,
and it's so important for him to feel like he's a part of something,
and he's so happy, and it makes me so happy to see him feel…
excited about a new chapter for him.
-I'm thinking of Mona to have a baby. -Yikes!
-Oh my God! -This is my dream.
She loves to work, and she works too much. Work never ends. We could end,
and work remains.
We need to… put a priority.
Well, that fist was impressive, I mean…
-That fist, yeah! -No, no, no, no. This fist means…
There!
Okay, fine. That's not the way to convince her.
I have a request. Don't do this thing. Don't, uh…
Let her make that decision on her own, because…
Yes.
Already the society is pressuring us to have kids,
-and to get married, and la la la la. -Instead of encouraging her?
Just like the Iraqi proverb,, "We sought your help, but you turned out a Pharaoh"!
Yeah.
There's a lot of pressure still happening, and last year,
I had to remove my fibroids,
so, actually, I can start trying in a while.
We'll see.
I can understand Mona's position, because I once was in her shoes.
-I used to do the morning show. -Mm.
And I always wanted to build my career. And my show was live.
How can I show my belly?
-And then, I got pregnant. You see? -It wasn't planned?
-It wasn't planned. If it was planned, -Trust me,
till today, I would not have gotten a baby.
Wow! It actually made me a time management queen.
-I feel like I am a time management queen. -I swear.
-So, multiply it by ten -When you become a mother.
I look at my calendar, honestly speaking,
the whole thing is full from morning to night… every day.
So, like, when am I going to fit in taking care of a baby?
So, my whole life revolves around my calendar.
I need to know exactly what I have to do, hour by hour. So, like, I break it down.
So, me and Hassan are trying to work on, like, aligning our calendars right now,
because we have very different schedules, like,
he's on a different time zone, I'm in a different time zone,
and I feel like, we need to get more to the middle.
I ask some weird things, but I like him to send me calendar
invites for everything. I really would love for
Hassan
to start scheduling date nights in the calendar in advance, So, like,
if you give me two weeks,
even better, 'cause I like to be prepared. I like to be prepared for everything.
-'Cause, like, I don't do anything without
a calendar invite. You see… -So, I was in your calendar today?
-Of course. -Okay.
Today, Salem told me
that he wants to talk to me. I said, "Sure.
Let's go to the stables."
Ebraheem and I used to be a little bit closer before.
There are some stuff that he does sometimes
which makes me question what his intentions are.
I didn't get a chance to speak with him, so,
I thought it would be a great chance for me to go up today,
and have a chat with Ebraheem, see if he's okay.
-Yo! -DJ Bliss!
There was some tension before,
between Marwan and Ebraheem because of the Besties Café issue,
like, every now and then, Marwan would call me.
And so would Ebraheem.
So,
I thought this is the perfect chance for me to try to get Ebraheem and Marwan
to talk, so that they could let go of any grudges
and start with a clean slate, and have no animosity between them.
You're always late.
-He's learning from Danya. -Huh?!
-You're learning from Danya to be late. -Here we go!
Here we go!
-We just started! -As soon as I get there, he drops
a line that I didn't like.
Look, I'll tell you something about Ebraheem.
He has a kind heart, but his tongue…
Mm.
That's Ebraheem!
When the words come out, sometimes they can hurt you,
they can cut you… You have to take everything
he says with a pinch of salt.
Well, Marwan, it looks like you're really
filled with frustration.
I feel that there's a lot that you have to say.
Honestly, honestly, Danya is a little upset with Ebraheem.
She said that you called her out in front of the employees
at, uh… Besties Café about being late.
She said that she comes to the café every day.
And she lied in front of the employees,
so I don't want the employees… to teach them about lying.
She's my best friend, but business is business.
-We have to be straightforward. -But also, like, as soon as you saw us
-you mentioned it in front of Salem -as well. Salem has nothing to do
here today,
-with this whole thing. -Bro, her name is Miss Late.
That's it. I gave her the title Miss Late.
What's our issue here?
Our issue is not about what I said or you must say. Our issue is that you're late.
Let's keep things straight.
So, I was upset, to be honest,
because you know that you
are the mother of "late".
And you go complain to your husband to create a problem between us?
Don't forget, this is the first time she's getting
into this kind of business. You have to also teach her
about a lot of things.
Yeah, but, but, Marwan, this… this is only the beginning.
I know what's going to happen later on. So, you need to accept whatever comes.
The picture is clear. You show people, like,
we're besties, we're happy,
and so on, when in the background,
something's burning in the kitchen!
Listen, I'll tell you something. Danya is my wife at the end of the day.
So, if something is bothering her,
and I need to speak up for her, I will do it.
-What are you going to do about it? -We can't have a serious conversation
with Ebraheem!
No, you can have a serious-- But you cannot win a conversation with Ebraheem!
Cannot! That's the problem! Exactly!
-It's like fighting with a kid. -Because--
You're dropping hints, and he's dropping hints.
When I hang out with you, you say stuff.
Mm.
And when I hang out with him, he says stuff.
-What does he say? -Come on bro, let it out already speak
How do I tell you this?
Ebraheem, bottom line…
the man is very, very, very frustrated…
because his wife hasn't been present.
And he's fed up with you taking up two hundred percent of her time.
-I'm taking up her time? -Yes, you are!
You're living your life almost like a bachelor.
What's the point of having a business if it's going to affect your family?
Who said it's affecting my family? I didn't say it was,
I said, "What if?"
Ebraheem is out and about all the time.
I don't think it's good, at the beginning of your marriage,
to only see your wife once a week.
My wife didn't say anything. She's not complaining. So,
why are you worried about that? Marwan, are you jealous?
-Why would I be jealous, Ebraheem? -Sounds like you are.
Everything in Ebraheem's life, he likes to excel at it.
It's hard to keep up. And I understand it's hard to compete.
I raised the bar very high.
If I were…
someone else…
I would be jealous of me!
So bottom line, what do you want from Ebraheem?
I need you to just be a little bit more sensitive around Danya. But also,
don't forget that I'm her husband, and she's got a family at home.
DJ Bliss is jealous because I'm close to Danya.
Maybe because Danya, all the time, is like, "Ebraheem! Ebraheem!" So,
he got tired of the name. I don't know!
I swear, I don't know.
Bro, I told you. But you just don't want to talk!
Don't call me to complain about it again, Marwan. Really.
You need to be honest with him. You need to be as clear clear, Marwan.
No… I'm telling you, you still haven't told him anything
that's assertive enough.
Marwan can't get the words out.
And so is Ebraheem. He's trying to take the subject lightly,
jokingly, hu-- humorously,
and he's making it even more difficult for Marwan.
And I'm one million percent sure
that this issue is going to keep getting worse and worse,
until Marwan's gets so filled with anger, and one day,
he'll just explode in Ebraheem's face.
And that's what I'm afraid of.
Since LJ couldn't make it to my event,
today, I'm meeting LJ and her girls for a playdate with Aydin,
and I'm so excited, because we're going to do some painting.
-Hi! -Hi. Give her a hug.
Hi, Aydin! How are you?
-Hi. -We missed you!
My daughters, Talia and Lana, are friends with Aydin.
They love spending quality time together, and they're so cute.
The kids are having a really, really good time, messing themselves with paint.
I'm quite happy and content to see Aydin happy, and he was enjoying the paint.
This was like therapy for him.
-How are you feeling? -I'm good. Just, um…
Sometimes, honestly, LJ, just like overwhelmed,
because of Aydin. He's on the spectrum. When Aydin was two years old,
we found out that he's on the spectrum. He's a special boy.
Of course there are many challenges he faces,
challenges I face as a mom, especially as a single mom.
But he's such an amazing boy.
He's the gift that God has given me.
I've been through a lot of pain in my life, and now, my ex-husband, Heroies…
is creating some really hard problems.
-Just so you know, you're an amazing mom. -Thank you. Really.
I swear,
I know. I just go through these emotions sometimes.
I know.
You're a strong woman. I really admire you so much,
Farhana. Come here.
Don't cry.
I'm your sister. Whatever you need, I'm here for you, okay?
Thank you, LJ.
I'm blessed to have a beautiful boy like Aydin. No matter what,
I would never want anything else…
than Aydin.
He's got an amazing memory,
he's a genius. I'm so happy, and I'm so proud to call him my son.
I'm not crying. I love you.
When I'm sad, he gets sad, you know?
And just… people need to give me a freaking break! Like, I'm broken, LJ.
-They think… -I know. I know.
It's hard for me, I swear to God,
I'm not joking.
I have my own problems. I don't need some people,
like Zeina and Safa,
come and destroy me, and put me down and make me
look like I'm-- I'm nothing, 'cause I'm just nice to them!
You don't realize how much you inspire people.
I know how much you hustle in life. Farhana is very dear friend of mine.
She's a single mom, she's a hard working woman.
I appreciate her friendship with me, and I support her.
-I'm telling you this, 'cause I know you -So well now.
They always try to p-- do things
-where it will affect my collaborations, -my work! why?!
Okay, I want to ask you something.
Do you think if Safa is happy in her own life,
she will talk about you? Or she will talk about anyone else?
-You know, for the last two years, -She's been doing this. Her, and Zeina.
Babe, I know what she's been doing!
She's approaching all the designers you've been talking to.
I know! She's trying to social-climb every single contact you have.
-What does that mean?! -But they put me down,
and then put me down, and then the world thinks she's some big shot…
They put you-- they put you down, they put you down…
…and me, I'm no-- nothing.
I just want the best for my son.
So, whatever I'm doing is-- I'm doing it for him.
And I wish the world can understand this before judging me.
Anyway, I was with Jwana yesterday.
You know I miss our days.
After I spoke to Jwana to see if I'll be able to fix things between her and LJ,
I wanted to talk to LJ as well, to see if, you know, things can be fixable.
Is there any way we could fix things up?
But there's nothing to fix. Me and Jwana, we know each other socially,
from a distance.
"Hi, hi", that's it. We don't have something,
like… to talk about.
LJ is lying.
-She doesn't want to talk about it, -But obviously, they were so close.
I don't have anything against her.
You can hang out with a person for five years, -and then, suddenly,
that person becomes a stranger. -Yeah.
And there's nothing wrong with that.
What happened between me and Jwana is not something that I'm interested to
even discuss further.
Sometimes, being silent is better than words.
After the GoldPesa event, Heroies asked to see me.
But I don't know the entire story.
So, I decided to bring Jwana along, so that he can't lie to me.
Because she knows the full story.
And she was…
a witness of what happened to Farhana.
How's everything?
Well, good.
-How's everything with you? -Well, I don't know. You're bringing me to
talk to someone who's just waking up now after so many years?
I want to find out, because Heroies is saying
that he never cheated.
-He says-- -Excuse me?
Exactly!
-Babe… -Right now, you're the witness.
I'll just… I'll listen. You don't talk.
I'm not even going to talk to him.
-Don't talk. Just let me listen… -Are you going to talk to him? When
he comes, I'll turn my back to him.
That story happened several years ago. And now he wakes up,
and he wants to talk, or whatever?
No problem. Maybe God finally made him see the light.
So…
we'll see.
Obviously, Farhana is against Aydin spending
time with my other half. So, that's why I reached out to Ebraheem.
-And… I'm hoping he can help. -It's not like anyone can force
him to come see his son or whatever!
-What's up, brother? How are you? -Hey, you're good, man? Thank you.
-Thank you for coming. Thank you. -Well… no problem. No problem.
I set up a meeting with Ebraheem, but there was another lady there.
How are you?
-She has no hands?! Oh my God! -I don't have hands, no.
She's Farhana's friend, alright?
And that's why she doesn't
But if she thought that that made her look cool, and make her-- made her look good,
want to shake my hand.
That's okay.
I don't know if you're looking at me or looking there with your glasses on.
So, you're looking at him. So, should I talk to him,
and then it should go through that? Is that a better option, bro?
I have a problem. I can't look at someone I don't like.
I can't. So, just say "hi", and sit down!
-We came here for Aydin's best interest. -That doesn't look like it.
There was no best interest for Aydin, was there?
I tried to shake her hand.
She's hurt. She's upset. But she's hurt for what? I've never
What does she have-- What is she hurt about?!
Met her! I've met her one time in my life!
She is hurt about what Farhana says?
Obviously, she's going to be affected. She's a woman also. -She has a heart.
She feels with her. -Bro, again, I get that. I get that. -It's her friend.
Betrayal feels the worst.
I know the most what he did for Farhana…
I mean, he can lie to the whole world, but he can't lie to me.
Farhana says she doesn't want her son around your girlfriend.
Mm.
And I see also your point of view, that, you know…
how can you spend time with your son,
and you have to tell your girlfriend, what? She's going to go hide in the room?
It doesn't make sense. How many times are you
seeing him per week?
Twice a week, but I need to obviously get some more time
-to see him a little bit more. -Are you seeing him by yourself, or
-are you seeing him with your girlfriend? -No, I see him by myself.
-By himself. -But that's my thing.
-What would it change-- -So, why does he want
-you introduce him to her? -That's my thing--
Why do you want to introduce him to your girlfriend?
Why? Why would I not want to? His mom said that because she lives
a different lifestyle than her,
-and she does not want to raise her son… -Someone lives a different lifestyle
than Farhana?! Oh my God! Wow! I didn't think
that existed!
Farhana decided to be an influencer, I was successful, she wasn't.
I helped her out with everything. She started doing well for herself.
Farhana said that you cheated on her with that lady. You said it didn't happen,
and you called her a liar.
Yes, so, it didn't happen, a lie, but you're hearing stories from Farhana.
The moment when my businesses had started failing,
and, uh, the money stopped coming into the house, I think Farhana started to change.
And you know, that's okay.
Some people are driven by money,
some people are not.
-You cheated on her anyway. -I didn't.
-You did. I was with her. -How would you know?
I was with her! -Oh, so you were there while I was cheating on someone?
You were sitting and watching me cheat? I-- I have not cheated.
Yes, yes, yes. You did this--
I have not cheated. -And he-- and he-- and he-- -Bro,
you should have just got Farhana instead of her! Same shit!
Hey, hey, hey, hey! You be careful! -Relax. I'm not talking to you.
-When you talk to me, you don't talk like this! Okay?
Relax yourself. Relax yourself. Relax yourself. -Stop trying to be extra.
I did not even speak to you. -Calm down…
-And I-- -La, la, la, la, la, la, la…
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack,
That's all I could hear. I didn't hear anything she said.
I want to know the details. I want details.
-Keep talking. Keep talking. -Darling, he threw his son behind him,
he threw his life, he threw everything,
and he just left!
It's not true. I'm doing the best I can for my child.
I would die for him.
I don't just hate him. I mean, I'd rather see devils in
front of me than him!
I mean, you have the nerve to come sit here and say, "I didn't cheat on her?"
I'm praying, "Please, God
just me get past these few seconds
until he gets out of my face."
-Now, defend… defend yourself. -No, I don't-- I don't think I need
I wasn't cheating. And I won't keep saying
to defend myself.
It again and again. I called Ebraheem up to
try and solve this issue.
Instead of solving this issue, that woman turns up out of nowhere, and acts crazy!
See you, man. Nice meeting you, darling!
I hope I never see him again.
I'm here for my child.
Not for your bullshit, not for your drama. Just… don't interfere.
That's what we needed!
That's what he needed, and you're too cold to be honset…
Unfortunately, we were unable to resolve the issue,
because the guy got angry and left.
The child is the victim in all this.
Well, and so is the woman, uh… Ebraheem! This is not acceptable!
Yes, it's unfair to her. But Aydin is the victim.
Why does the woman always have to be stripped of her rights?
If the man won't be her rock, then what's the use of his existence?
A man is not…
someone who comes and tells you, "I left my wife for another woman."
And I wish…
every woman would emphasize…
and never take a man or anything that's not hers.
I'm getting ready for my nighttime routine which I have in my calendar.
Every single night, it's on repeat.
So, my nighttime routine consists of showering, praying,
skincare, supplements, message my mom, message my dad,
close my curtains all the way,
set the AC to eighteen degrees, set my alarm… Like, everything is there!
Is that crazy?
Does anybody else here do that, please? Somebody?
Nobody?!
Where are you, honey?
-I'm having dinner. -Can you come down?
-I don't like going outside -Of my schedule.
Like, it gives me anxiety.
So, I can come down for five minutes, but I cannot stay longer than that.
Hi, baby!
-Hey, marshmallow! -Hi, hayati, how are you?
-How are you doing, my love? -Bon appétit.
-Thank you. -Love you.
Eat with me.
I can't, baby. It's late.
It's past my dinner time.
I have dinner every night on my own. And the reason is,
Mona's dinner is at five thirty PM.
Like, the sun is still out.
-I only have five minutes, baby. -So…
According to who?
-According to my calendar. -And your calendar says
you have five minutes left?
-Well, I'm actually behind schedule right -Now, so I have to, like, hurry it up.
-Can I see your calendar? -No.
-I feel like you're making fun of me. -Just let me see it.
-I'm not making fun, I'm just curious. -You're making fun of me.
-No, no. I'm just curious. -Okay then, you can see it.
I want to see it.
Why are you laughing?
You put the fact that you're breathing in here.
Give me my phone.
Who forgets to go to bed?
You know? But I think it's now gotten
to the stage where it's… a little bit too much.
I want to go out with you more, and spend more time with you…
every single day.
I love that.
Do you want to go out for dinner tomorrow?
Tomorrow?
Tomorrow I can't.
-Why? -'Cause I have an appointment.
-Well, the day after? -I can't.
Yeah. I don't do last minute invites, I'm sorry.
Never.
-We got to work on that schedule. -Yeah, I agree. We need to put
more dates in.
She wants more date nights, but every single minute in
her schedule is full up.
So, I think we've got to meet somewhere halfway,
Mm, my love. more like eighty percent towards me.
Mm.
I'll do twenty four hours before.
At least, give me three days. That's like, the bare minimum.
Three days? Like, for everybody else, I usually
say two weeks, three weeks,
but for you, two, three days. I feel like, when a man plans a date night…
in advance…
…for me,
it just makes you feel so… like, you don't have to think of everything,
'cause I have a lot of responsibility at work,
so, if we could plan things,
I feel like I could be more in the flow.
Yeah, more into my feminine energy. -I do have to go, baby.
I'm really behind schedule. -We're not making progress.
I have to get ready for bed. I love you.
I don't think I can force Hassan to become like me,
but we need to meet in the middle. I would just have to adjust my calendar,
which is difficult, but possible, and I would do it for the right reasons.
Today, I will visit Zeina personally, and congratulate her on the office.
I have a surprise for her, but I'm not sure whether she's
going to like it or not.
Just like I told her before,
"One day, you will work for me." I always
say to my employees…
-I'm not your employee. -The problem…
-You're not my employee, but maybe -one day, you'll be.
-Hi! -Hi!
-What are you doing here? -I work here. What are you? A secretary?
No. I am selling hundred-million-dollar houses.
Have you come to see Zeina?
-Yes. -She's just there.
During the time when I had a problem with Zeina,
she started I Am The Company at my expense.
I decided to acquire the rights…
of this trademark in Britain and Europe.
She's not allowed to use the name I Am The Company, because the owner is Ebraheem.
Surprise… for my good friend Zeina in her new office.
-Hello! -Hello!
-Surprise, surprise! -How are you?
How are you?
-I'm fine, thanks. -So nice to have you. I'm
happy with the new Ebraheem.
He came with good intentions.
Please, can we have a black coffee for Mr. Ebraheem Al Samadi?
Ah, I don't know if I can trust you around coffee, but that's okay,
-bring it, bring it. -It wasn't me. Bring it, bring it.
That was someone else. Zeina is silly.
She has no idea what's in store for her, and what's coming her way.
-How's work? How's everything? -It's hectic. You know how it is.
I mean, you have more than one business, and at some point it's hard to
Yeah.
-Juggle between them. -Right.
How is Besties?
-Thanks be to Allah, it's good. -Good?
So, this is the first time you work with a partner… in business?
First time in my life to have a partnership.
Yeah. And?
-It's okay. It has ups and downs. -Mm.
Simple issues,
being late and so on, not so serious things.
Late? You know Danya.
-She comes late… -Yeah, okay.
…And I don't know what. -We were supposed to meet one time, she comes an hour late.
Seriously?!
Your café is called "Besties".
Already you're stabbing your bestie in the back?
I want to show you the hoodie that I received.
-Hmm? -Ah, the one you told me about?
Who did this? I'm sure it wasn't you.
There.
Turn it around.
Something you would do, -right? The minute I saw it, I said,
"This is so like Ebraheem!" -No, no.
-It's not me, it's my… -It's my legal team.
Seriously!
I am the sender of the package.
Let's just say
it's a trailer for what's coming to her. -This is just for entertainment purposes.
A gift-- -Ah, you sent it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I did. Well, my team did.
Something is not right about Ebraheem.
Oh my God! I'll never in my life see
the end of it with you!
I will not let him get what he wants.
He came to provoke me?
He'll have to guess again.
So, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want first?
-Good news, -Because, after the bad news,
we might not be sitting together.
I prefer to start with the bad,
so that
-the good will cover the bad. -Go ahead. It'll make it even.
We'll see.
My team, on my behalf, has taken measures.
The measures they've taken…
they registered I Am The Company's trademark…
in the United Kingdom and in Europe.
So, currently, the rightful owner of I Am The Company is me.
Now, you work for me.
The very evil move!
This is not cleverness.
This is evil.
-And then? -Now, this is something that's happened
when I was not talking to you.
I mean, this is something, when I was upset, happened then.
Zeina's system, brain…
gave
a system error, crashing.
So, for me, at that moment,
my level of happiness was all the way up.
-But however, you didn't ask me -What's the good news.
What's the good news?
This is the good news, which is a transfer paper.
-To put it into your name. -Ebraheem… with Zeina…
obsession 101.
I live in Ebraheem's head, rent-free,
twenty four seven.
Your friendship to me means more than any paper, or any document, so…
as my duty…
that…
I gift you.
I just want for Zeina…
whenever she hears the name Ebraheem…
she snaps, "Where is he?"
Just freak out.
Um…
I know the old Zeina…
…would've been triggered by this. but
after I decided to open a page,
I would consider this one of the best gifts… …I would be receiving…
as a good luck for my company. If I hadn't controlled my temper,
it would've been very likely for things to escalate between me and Ebraheem, uh…
fast.
So, is this mine now?
I wanted to know exactly what was going on in that cabin. What's happening here?
-He registered the trademark of -I Am The Company in his name.
What?!
Wow!
What was the point of it? Like, what message was he trying to pull across?
-The thing is-- -But what made you decide to do that?
-Because… I want to teach her a lesson. -Okay?
I am the company.
-I am the company! -Whether it's trademarked or not, I--
I am the company. Don't forget.
At this point, Ebraheem is back to being on probation. I want to check if
the brand is registered in the UK
in Ebraheem's name.
-Bye. -And as they say, follow the
liar to the door of the house.
Congratulations, again.
Yeah, but you took the papers. What do I do about that?
-Don't worry, I will-- -You, you took the papers.
-We'll fill the papers. We'll get that. -Don't worry. I gave Zeina the trademark.
But I'll keep papers with me, until I see whether she deserves…
this gift, or not.
Today, Farhana is coming over to my place.
And since she's interested in acting,
I decided to introduce her to my acting coach.
Oh! I think Farhana has a lot of emotions that she needs to face.
She needs to start her healing journey.
-Today, I got you an acting coach. -Yay!
-So, his name is Tanvir. -Excellent!
I have to warn you. It is a lot of hard work.
It can be very therapeutic.
I need this therapy.
I used to run away a lot from my problems.
But I think you're still running away.
Farhana is not confronting her problems.
And I've been through what Farhana is going
through. When I first cosidered divorce…
it was very hard, and very painful.
But…
it's a reality.
-It's nothing you can run away from. -Honestly, now I've really healed myself.
But I saw you the other day. You still get flustered by your ex.
He should have, like, zero impact on you.
Zero by now.
Yeah, because we don't really meet that much, and then…
Even better! …when I see him after so long,
I get anxiety…
-Why? -…I get nervous… I don't know.
After a very long time, I saw him in an event. So, it was…
it was quite overwhelming, I must say.
What are you going to do if he decides to marry this woman? She's in his house.
They're living together.
Okay, then, he will make other plans to meet Aydin.
He will-- Aydin will not stay in that house with the two of them.
Sorry. I will not allow it.
Mahira, I have no issues if it was anyone else.
But there's a lot of emotional heartbreak involved in this situation.
No, no. This is not happening. I will not let this happen.
-Hello! Hi! -Hi.
-And upon you, too! -How are you doing?
-How are you? -Mahira.
I'm Farhana.
Farhana, my friend. So good to see you again.
-Very nice to meet you. -Mahira. Pleasure! Pleasure!
-Pleasure seeing you! -Alright!
My good friend, Farhana, wants to join the acting community.
Okay.
And I really, really think that she needs to do this.
-Shall we jump into it? -Let's go, let's go.
We need to trigger an emotion of anger.
Fair enough?
Anyone in your life, who insulted you,
put you down… Farhana,
I am that guy.
The line is, "I have to kill you. I don't have an option."
-Go for it. -I have no option! I have to kill you!
More.
-I have no option! I have to kill you! -Good. I realized that
it's the hardest thing to do,
because I was thinking of people who tried to put me down. That emotions were real.
Go for it.
How dare you?! I have no option! I have to kill you!
And now, I'm scared.
I probably look mad, saying these lines, but it's okay. I was learning,
I was doing acting class. So, don't judge.
Now, I want to trigger the emotion by having an imagination.
Our mothers…
are the most important thing for us. But nothing is permanent in this world.
I want you… to imagine…
a lifeless body…
of your mother…
in front of your eyes.
This is the… time…
when your mother is not going to complain you, that you don't talk to her,
you don't call her.
I want you…
-to kiss her hand. -We need to stop.
-I know where this is going, -And I don't like where it's going.
-Mahira, look at me. -Mahira, look at me.
Let me continue for a while. It's good for us. This is the last moment.
After this moment, you will never be able to see the
face of your mother, Mahira. So sorry!
Mom, I'm sorry!
Say it!
No, Farhana, don't hide the face. This is the last moment.
You're not going to see the face of your mother.
It's something I think about every day.
And the problem is, you know it's going to happen.
-And there's nothing you can do about it. -Stop!
Now, look at me! Hello! Baba, your mother is there now!
I think it's definitely a good therapy for me.
It took me from the anxiety, the pain…
I feel everybody has to go through this exercise,
-so that they realize the value -of the people they don't value!
-Honestly, this has been the best thing -That I did in the last few weeks.
I needed this so badly. I'm so happy that we reconnected
and we got this done.
I hope… that today's session will help Farhana
to deal with her emotions head on.
Stop running away.
Healing is not linear, it's messy.
Safa and I,
we planned a gathering with Jwana and Danya,
to catch up on everything that's happening. Also,
it's time for me to know what's with the tension between Jwana and LJ.
So? Did you close that deal?
It went well, actually. We went to see the house, yeah.
Mm?
-Hi, girls! -Look at you!
Sweetheart.
I'm sure you missed me, right?
Of course!
-Hello! -Here comes the Diva!
-Hi! How are you? -Hi!
We initially came here to gossip about you, ha?
-So it seems. -Just saying, you know?
But we missed our chance.
-How's everything? -Right!
Danya and I, ever since we resolved our differences,
there's no tension between us anymore.
We are okay. We're fine.
-Safa, tell us what's tomorrow. -Tomorrow is, um…
a ceremony.
-What type of ceremony? -We just want to know what's the theme.
-It has to be black. -Black? Black.
Last year, I got my push present, my new car.
Fahad wants to get rid of the Lambo.
As someone who's quite materialistic, I find it really hard,
because I attach to things.
So, I'm bidding farewell for my beloved Lamborghini.
By the way, I started working with her at the office.
-Really? Wow! -Wow!
I was excited about it, I mean, I thought me and her would be, like,
Farha and Marha in the office.
But no, it's crazy. She's so short-tempered with me.
I didn't expect Safa to ever work in her life.
You know, maybe me and Ebraheem inspired them,
because we're the besties, and we work together. I like that dynamic.
I wouldn't last long. Do you guys have any vacancies
at Besties Café?
We're full right now!
You know how much money I'm making for her,
and she's still complaining? Anyway, we saw Ebraheem.
-Oh, yeah? -Oh.
-Mm. -Mm.
And… he came to Zeina's office.
He went to your office again? He really likes offices!
-Yeah. -Yeah, yeah.
-Ah. -He came to congratulate me at the office…
Then,
I've decided to show him the package with the hoodie,
that was delivered to my office.
I thought that he would help me to… to figure out who sent it.
Figure out. Mm.
Then, he said, "It wasn't me,
it was actually my legal team who sent it."
Very creative! Very creative, Ebraheem!
He asked his legal team to create a trademark for the name of "I Am The
-Company"… -Okay.
In the UK.
Mm.
And he had some not so good intentions in the beginning.
-But now that we are, like friends… yeah, -Like, friends. Yeah.
-He would like to give it to me as a gift. -No!
That's nice.
Well, that's Ebraheem.
That was a mean prank honestly
I mean, messing with someone's
livelihood isn't nice.
Did you know about it?
About what?
-Which one? -About the trademark?
-Um… -It was your idea. The trademark?
No, I swear,
it's not my idea. But I knew about it. He told me about it.
You filled the form. -I swear I didn't. He told me about it, though, as I said.
Yeah.
But initially, I don't think he had good intentions when he got it.
Mm. -But it's good that he came and told you the truth.
-He was honest about it. -Ebraheem still hasn't given
Mm.
Me the registration papers.
At this stage, I am not sure of his intentions,
and I need to investigate,
to make sure that the brand is registered in Ebraheem's name.
How is going at Besties'?
Thank god
-it's good. -How is it, working with Ebraheem?
I love working with him. I learn a lot from him.
Ebraheem said that you always come late.
Did I just hear what she just said?
He said that
-you're not being serious about it. So… -You're not serious?
I'm surprised that he told you, guys. Like, that was something…
a discussion that me and him had.
You know how he is, he… talks, he's a gossip.
A gossip or a backbiter?
A bit of both.
A bit of--
I don't know why he felt that comfortable to talk about me to them.
That is so not cool, and I'm not okay with it.
I have to talk to him about this, because… I'm so disappointed.
And I encourage you to, uh… end, that business partnership.
If we ever feel that
it's getting out of hand and it's ruining our friendship,
then we'll sell it for sure.
Talking about ruined friendships…
Uh-oh.
Who?
-No one at this table, I hope. -There's someone who
has stopped showing up.
Uh… who?
LJ. She hasn't been showing up.
It's time for me to know what caused this problem between Jwana and LJ.
I want to know who are the people that are surrounding me.
The two of you, there is a problem with you and LJ?
Because she's avoiding you. I mean… everywhere we go,
I feel that…
That's because I'm scary.
Well, there is a problem between me and Loujain.
But it's hard for me to talk about it.
Were you close friends, you and, LJ…?
Her two girls… I mean, I swear, they used to be so dear to my heart.
LJ's kids?
Yeah.
-They used to sleep next to me, in my bed. -Ah!
They used to spend so much time with me…
that they used to call my ex-husband…
"Daddy".
So, you let her into your home and your family.
Of course, darling! I mean, anything that--
Anyway, whatever.
Were you hurt?
It's okay.
She wasn't just a friend.
She was more than that, to be honest. And, uh…
And now, she's dead to me.
Her presence doesn't matter to me anymore.
-Well, I heard that… -What do you want to say?
Mm.
…There's a man involved.
And she crossed the red line.
I feel that there's something you want to say,
-but you're not saying it. -No one can take anything from me.
Rightfully or otherwise…
End of story.
Betrayal isn't limited for marriange
Betrayal can also happen in friendship.
It causes a wound.
And that wound, uh…
can't be fixed.
