HASSAN AND MONA'S ESTATE
-Hello! -Hi, baby!
-Hi, my love! -I had to look for you there for a minute.
I'm trying to find a dress for Safa's event.
Today, Hassan and I are getting ready for Safa's event.
She told us that the dress code is black.
And she hasn't really shared too many details.
So, I'm searching for the perfect black dress.
But I'm really struggling to find the dress I'm looking for.
-Okay. -Like, I feel like, very overwhelmed.
I feel like there is so many things, and I just can't find, like,
what I'm looking for.
Of course she struggled to find a dress, because
there is 8578 outfits in there.
It's, honestly
about time you seriously start to think about how you reorganize
your closet. Because there's just a lot in here.
Yeah?
Mona needs to, first, cut down
significantly how many things that she has in her closet.
Ultimately, you know, I'm hoping that, as well you know,
she'll-- she'll treat her calendar better.
-Do you need this? -Need what?
Of course I need this.
For what?
-I wore that to the Gucci event. -Look, I think…
we trim
a good amount of this.
And then we get you some new,
some new stuff.
I'm not going to lie, that really gave me a panic attack inside. It's scary!
Whatever we put you in
needs to highlight your biggest asset.
If she has a simpler outfit that accentuates her beauty, that's
-the most important adjustment that -I think she needs to make to her style.
-I feel like, you know, I've gotten -These hoarding tendencies from my mom.
That's my learned behavior from her and my family. Like, my mom's a hoarder,
me, Alya,
Huda are hoarders, you know?
It's how I'm wired now.
Growing up, my parents went through
really tough financial times, and
of course, my circumstances have changed
but I'm still a hoarder.
Think of it as like, what a waste of money.
So, since you're going to help me with everything,
why don't you start by dressing me for Safa's party? I need a black dress.
I've actually been looking for this.
Super simple.
But not simple, at the same time.
Yeah. You're done.
Okay.
Job done.
Now we go to this mysterious event and find out
what we're heading towards.
Last year, I finally got my push present, my new car.
But fahad has been nonstop telling me
to remove the Lamborghini from my life.
The car is just a symbol
of a big part of my materialism.
So today, I'm bidding farewell for my beloved Lamborghini,
my beautiful car that I love so much.
Trying to release some of my materialism in this world.
Fahad, and everyone,
is finally going to know why they're here today.
Safa's acting really strange.
She told me "just wear black" and she asked me to come to a park,
which I don't understand. What's happening?
Hi, baby! What's happening?
Well, wh-- what's wrong?
You'll see.
I'm so excited for everybody to join me.
I can't wait to see their reaction to see what's going on today.
Today is Safa's event.
She asked us to wear black.
I like to embrace the themes from A to Z.
And let's see.
-Hey! -How are you?
How are you doing?
Managing.
What's the event?
Why are we wearing black? What's going to happen?
No idea.
Hi, drama queen!
Thank you for being here.
This is the first time I see Ebraheem
after Zeina told me that Ebraheem registered the trademark
of I Am the Company in his name.
I plan to talk to him on the side when the event is over
to check his intentions.
-Do you know what it is? -No.
Honestly, I didn't expect LJ to come. she's been distanced for a while
LJ has been avoiding Jwana.
LJ, how come you came?
Because you've missed a few, eh…
events.
No, I didn't.
We thought that if Jwana was going to be here, you wouldn't like to come.
-No! What makes you -Think like that?
-Because of the issue between you and her. -But there's no issue.
Who said there's an issue?
I don't have the willingness to talk about this,
nor do I want to involve myself in it.
You were, like, a topic yesterday when we met up, of discussion.
But it wasn't bad. It was just
-some observation. -But I don't live by their observations.
Exactly.
I have no problem. They can talk about me.
Maybe they felt that LJ isnt' the LJ they used to know.
Thank you all for coming today.
Fahad has put the most pressure on me
to bid farewell.
To bid farewell.
I mean, Safa and her events, she never fails to surprise me.
For me, my car,
it's not just a car
but a bank of memories.
We came just to
mourn a car?
At that moment, I wanted to throw everything on her head.
This car was my first luxury car.
I put pink stripes on it
so that he couldn't drive it.
Safa being dramatic. This is the drama queen that Safa is.
It was very tragic.
It was also tragic for my time.
Or that time,
Farha and I went to Ebraheem's café to confront him.
Hi.
Ebraheem was shocked.
It's not funny, Ebraheem.
What is this? Is this some kind of joke? I can't!
I'm in a new era of my life.
I want to release myself from material things.
It's very Safa. She's extra.
I want to be more resourceful and cut down on unnecessary spending.
I wanted everything.
I wanted every bag,
I wanted every piece of jewelry.
But, is this life?
Of course not.
Why was I attaching myself to material things?
-And I hope my husband understands -How hard this is for me?
God help you, Fahad!
What is this recklessness?!
What is this vanity?! What just happened before us was immoral.
You may
throw your flowers in memory
of my material things.
Farewell! Farewell!
Deep breath!
Farewell--
At least now when someone asks me,
"what's the craziest thing you've ever seen?",
I can answer.
I've never forced her for anything in life.
-All I did was I discussed with you that we don't need a c-- -You pressured me!
You don't even drive it! Since two years, she's not even driven it!
But it looks nice for my outfits!
Anyways,
you made a decision. Proud of you.
-Thank you. -Should we give a round of applause?
Go Safa! Thank you.
I completely understand Safa.
I've been a hoarder my whole entire life. I'm really excited for her new chapter.
To stop being materialistic.
It's hard to get rid of things. We understand.
-Thank you. -I definitely understand that too.
I really felt for her. Because I have a problem
to let go of things.
Not because of their materialistic value, because of their emotional value. So,
good for her, and thank you.
I'm just going to take my last photoshoot with the car.
May God give me the patience for what's happening to us.
Extremely absurd, extremely ridiculous. I left my life for this?
I mean-- With all due respect for Safa, but there's nothing pettier than this.
It's very silly. Nothing.
I took it all as a joke.
Because if I took it seriously, it would be a problem.
-We're talking about today. -Yeah.
Safa!
-Safa, honestly, I appreciate the invite… -I mean,
-thank you so much, really. -…but this is silly.
We came for you.
-None of us would've wanted -To be invited to something
-like this. We appreciate-- -But where else would you
-wear this coat with blood? -Well, friends are supposed to support.
No, we co-- Of course, we come to support you!
-Friends would always support. -That's why!
We come to-- No, we come to support you,
but I mean, in arabic we call this "silliness".
It's okay, it's good that you're honest and you're saying this to my face.
-We care about you, really. -Yeah,
but I find material things very difficult,
-because I don't have many friends. -So I get very attached to things.
-Well, I understand -Your pain of letting go.
-Thank you. -We're, uh, mini hoarders!
-Yeah. -So, we-- we understand.
Yeah, I don't know. I feel like because I dreamed
so much as a young girl,
-and when I finally got them, -I find it even harder to lose them.
Anyway, we are so proud of you.
-Thank you. Thank you, my love. Thank you. -Yes.
My God!
I think it's not about the ceremony, It's about the message behind it.
-Stopping this attachment to materialistic things. -Yeah, right.
-Yeah, so true. -It's not just about the car.
The car is a mere symbol
of what I want to release and who I want to be.
-I'm so proud of myself. -I have no comment.
-But, may God give more wisdom -And brain to some people!
Amen!
-Please, God! -Amen!
-Amen. -Let's all pray.
-Amen! -Please, God!
I've never seen anything like this in my life!
Ever--
Danya was telling me that
they are talking about me. So, I decided to go and talk to her.
-Yeah. So. you want -To tell me what happened?
-Safa and Zeina were asking Jwana -If you and her have an issue,
and Jwana said no. And they kept insisting,
"No, there's something."
And I respect Jwana for not saying anything.
-Well, there's nothing to talk about. -She said,
"I'm not talking about it."
Sometimes there are people in your life that you feel that you know,
you've been friends with them for a while,
but then the friendship kind of drifted. And it's normal. This is life.
Me and Jwana, we used to be really good friends.
Some issues are better left undiscussed. That's all.
-Priceless. -My love, you are--
LJ, can I talk to you for a second?
Is something wrong?
Yes. There is. There is something that I'd like us to sort out… together.
There's tension between me and LJ
after what happened at the new year's eve party with Hanna,
and the "giraffe" comment.
So, I decided to have a conversation with her.
I'm not someone who will accept any unnecessary comment like that with
no consequences.
That "giraffe" comment and what happened on social media are not things I can
just let pass.
What you did to me shocked me.
When you deal with these things or, at least, with me--
Let's have a seat.
I'm Cinderella.
And Farha and Marha
those are the stepsisters
who are always trying to bring, like, Cinderella down and poke her.
When someone wants to bother me or disrespect me in anything,
especially when it comes to my personal life, has to expect a reaction from me.
You also don't have a light way of talking to people,
and you expect people to be okay with that.
-And then when I give a comment, -You have a problem with that.
What did you mean with the "giraffe" comment?
That I'm too tall?
You are tall, God bless you! I always feel short standing next to you.
-You meant it as an insult, though. -No. It's not an insult.
-This is what you thought, -But this was not my intention.
LJ is selfish.
She's allowed to insult us, but we don't have the same right…
Now, you know, I know what you don't like. You know what I don't like.
And then, maybe we can… make it nicer.
Don't you think?
Maybe.
It needs effort, both ways.
I'm starting to understand how you guys think. It's good.
It's us getting to know each other more.
I miss you, girls!
Come here.
-Come on. Let's break the ice. -Come on. Stop being like this.
LJ made a great effort not to escalate the problem between her and me.
I would say,
I'd say it's setteled… about 70% of the way.
There's still one more thing I'd really like to know.
LJ and Jwana,
Who's in the wrong here to understand more to understand more the world around me.
-Here's a piece of advice to you, -I don't need a piece-- I
-don't need a piece of advice. -there's been a lot of people-- Eh,
a piece of advice for the general--
-I'm-- No, I'm being -very distant with everyone.
A lot of people are saying that you--
-Is it because of Jwana? -No!
-She told us that you misused her trust. -I really have no comment.
I really, really have nothing to say.
But if the other person is talking,
-you're going to look like you're not defending
yourself. -Then. let her-- Okay, let her talk. It's fine.
Hmm.
There's definitely an issue between Jwana and LJ,
and we need to get to the bottom of this.
We should all be able to sit in the same place, not avoid each other.
-That's what she said. -Bring her here in front of me,
and let her say it in front of my face.
If there's anything that Jwana has to say, she's sitting just behind me.
She can come and say it in my face.
Jwana!
What do you want?
Could you come for a second?
It's beneath my prestige to get up.
The mountain, does not shake on the wind.
I'm Jwana Karim, I don't get up from my seat.
-Well… -Great!
She's right.
We're not on the same level.
-We're on two different levels. -No, no. Exactly--
Loujain knows what she did.
Of course she won't confront me.
"It's beneath
my prestige…
-Of course. -…to get up"!
The time will come and we'll find out what the story is.
-Ebraheem? -Yeah. Yeah sure. Yeah.
Can I speak to you? Privately?
In the middle of the tension that we were in, Ebraheem and Danya decided
to take themselves out of the situation and talk about their own business.
-Okay. -I want to go far from the group,
because, like, I want to talk to you in private.
Me and Ebraheem, we're not on good terms
with the Besties Café.
After Zeina and Safa told me that Ebraheem said that I was always late,
and that he had talked behind my back,
I said, let me talk to him and ask him.
I still don't understand why he did it. The other day,
I went out with Safa and Zeina and Jwana,
and Zeina stops and looks at me, and she's like,
"So, how's the Besties Café?"
"Ebraheem told me at the office that you were always late,
and you were complaining about working everyday--" I mean--
I didn't tell them anything that they don't already know.
What?
-Do you acknowledge that I'm upset? -Do you acknowledge that I'm hurt?
-You're hurt about what exactly? -That was-- Because--
-The-- The conversation -that I had with you
-That-- Danya, that was-- -That-- That--
went to Safa and Zeina? The people that we became friends with two hours ago?
-But you are late though! -Yes, but why are you talking to them?
Why-- So what if I talk to them? Everyone knows you're late.
Who are they? They're--
-They know you're late all the time. -But you don't need to talk
to them about me, Ebraheem.
-So, you don't want me -To be friends with them!
So, you need to gossip about me to be friends with someone?
Not gossiping but bonding over talking about me.
That's not gossiping.
So, it's jealousy now!
Is it jealousy? Really?
I am your friend and you hurt my feelings.
That's what I'm trying to explain to you.
And you're just trying to run away from that.
Did you tell Marwan what happened between me and you at the café?
Of course. Do you think that this is a logical thing to do?
And you know Marwan wasn't supporting the business for you to go and tell him that?
-He's my husband. I have to tell him. -I don't-- I don't tell my wife.
I don't go tell my wife everything.
That's your decision and your relationship.
-That's not-- Yeah. -Yeah, but as a business,
you're not supposed to, Danya.
Danya knows that Bliss
has been against the Besties Café since the beginning.
So, when you go to him and complain about me,
You put me in a position where you can come and say to me
"I told you so", and I don't accept that.
When you complained to Bliss, I felt that he has a problem,
-you know, with me. -Me, you, and Bliss
there's no problem. We're family. I'm going to talk to Bliss.
We're going to fix this.
I hope, like, we get over this. Because if this doesn't get fixed,
it's about to get really, really, really messy.
-I think I'm going to leave, yeah? -We need to leave, yeah. Yeah.
-Bye, my love. See you. -Goodbye.
-Goodbye. See you. -Goodbye. See you.
-See you. -Bye, babe.
Ebraheem!
I wanted to talk to Ebraheem. I saw him leaving,
so, I thought, let me seize the opportunity and talk
to him while he's still there.
-How are you? -Good. How are you?
Good. Good.
I don't trust his intentions.
Why didn't he leave the papers
in Zeina's office?
I prefer to look into his eyes
to be sure about his intentions.
Zeina told me that you bought the rights to
I Am the Company in London.
Then she says, "But he's going to hand it over to me".
Then, I said to her, "What's the point? Why would he do that?"
-What-- -Yeah, that was a year ago. I
felt upset that she used, eh,
that whole instance
and to make me look like the bad one, when I just went to go
tell her how I felt.
And I said, okay, I'm going to teach her a lesson,
and I'm going to do-- At the same time, I said,
It's better I do it than someone else does it. Then, she can get it back.
I don't understand what it is he's trying to do.
He wants to maintain control. But I promised Zeina
that we're going to play it cool. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt.
And let's be mature about this.
So, you took the papers. Are you going to bring them back?
-I have the form, -And I will have my team
to help her to, uh… to transfer it.
Okay.
Hanna,
if you choose to have a battle with me,
I will give you a war.
I'm playing it cool for now.
I don't know how long I can control my temper.
I'm just waiting for one mistake…
Today, we decided to have
a girl's day out. Me, Mona, Jwana, and Farhana.
We'll go to the spa
and have an IV drip for energy and rejuvenation,
and have fun.
It's done, finished.
-Okay. Okay. -Really?
-The four of us, we needed to, -Like, reunite. It's been a while.
-We should do this more often. -Yeah.
-Ah, I'm doing a party, by the way. -Oh, yeah?
We love parties! Theme?
It will be something very…
Jwana.
Me.
When I organize an event, I always like to do something different.
I decided to have a costume party.
I'm sure you'll blow us away.
Yeah.
-Farhana, you missed Safa's event. -You mean the farewell?
Yeah.
Oh, my God!
It's all a shitshow.
-Who does a farewell for a car? -She's trying to change,
hopefully, for the better.
Babe, she can fool the world, not me. Everyone I spoke to was, like,
it's so boring and like, what was she thinking?
-She just proved it to the world -That she's a stupid one.
It was definitely interesting.
You know it was diff-- I've never been to party like this before.
Mona, come on. Give me a break. Interesting?
-It was interesting! -Wallah, for once in your
life, be honest. No, wallah.
Honestly, like,
me and Farhana are cool. But today,
I felt a little bit attacked I'm going to let it slide,
because there's a lot of emotions in this room.
But, this better not happen again.
Jwana, I noticed at the party,
Zeina asked you to go talk to LJ, and you said you weren't interested.
What happened?
This thing is not going to be over, honestly.
But, eh…
We used to be close friends, way before.
And she crossed the line with something that really bothered me.
I had no idea there was a history between Jwana and LJ.
I didn't even know they were friends before. When did this happen?
-Because I didn't even know -You guys were close.
-Very close, yeah. -Like sisters?!
More than that. They were like family.
Well, did you confront her? Or talk?
No. But I'm not the one who should confront her. She's is in the wrong.
-Maybe she doesn't know what the story is. -She knows. How would she not know?
In these situations, you should hear the other side
I heard, then I saw, then she proved it.
If I don't have evidence,
a proof that I can hear and see with my own eyes,
I don't judge anyone.
Why do you ruin everything
when I was the one who supported you the most?!
Even Mahira,
You know everyting.
-I know. I know you were very close -Yeah.
I heard Jwana's side of the story, but I never heard LJ's.
Every story has
two sides.
So, should I interfere in such matters? No.
There was even that time,
there was a certain brand that she contacted and said to them,
"Don't invite Jwana".
Who are you to go around and say, "Don't invite Jwana"? Why?
To be honest, they both are my friends. And,
you know, I'm extremely close to Jwana,
and I also have a very special bond with LJ.
And I really wish that I could put them together in a
and just let them talk.
Room
-But you know-- -I swear, I'd love to do that.
I know. But you know what happened.
That she's made mistakes, you've made mistakes, too--
I made mistakes?! -No, mistakes-- She only--
No, no, no, no. This is not acceptable.
-She crossed this line. And you know. -But, babe-- I don't know--
-Yeah, you told me. Okay. -Listen, don't let me be angry, really.
She has her side of the story, you have your side of the story.
-No, but you know my side of the story. -Farhana is the only one
who knows
the real reason
why I got to this point with Loujain.
How could you come and ask me to talk to her?
-Babe, shit happens in life! -But this is not any mistake.
-It happens. Sisters fight. Babe-- -You will be fine if I
will go out with your ex?
I discovered
that Loujain
got closer to my ex.
And she started reacting to his Instagram posts with hearts.
She crossed the black line, not the red line.
Listen, stop, ha?!
I won't forgive her.
And I won't forget it.
Has LJ ever apologized to you?
How will a "sorry" fix this?
-Did she ever-- -Will a "sorry" fix what's broken inside?
I still don't have the ability to forgive.
-When you forgive, you do it for yourself, -Not for the other person.
Yes. And for myself, I still don't want to forgive.
Because I've forgiven a lot.
-You have the right. -Yeah, I mean, you do have
to protect yourself.
Don't you have red lines in life?
-Yeah. For sure. -Right?
Can I give you a hug? Let's calm down. I feel like Jwana is really hurt.
It's very obvious from her energy. And it's hard.
I feel very sad to hear this story because
It sucks.
FAHAD AND SAFA'S RESIDENCE
-Hey, baby. -Hi.
-Tea? Again? -Yeah, please.
Fahad struggles with weight.
I am so worried about Fahad's health.
So today,
I have an unconventional way of helping Fahad
on his weight loss journey. He has a little surprise coming ahead.
-How many sugars are in here? -There's only one teaspoon.
Well, how many teas has it been so far?
Tea is like drinking water. -There's no harm in having tea. -No,
it's not drinking water.
All the time, Karak tea, Karak tea, Karak tea! What happened? Why?
We recently went to a roller coaster,
and when he came down, he was feeling really dizzy and faint.
Basically, this is his blood thickening from
obviously not eating well.
For me, it was time we do something.
You promised you were going to start looking after your weight.
Okay, and?
You're not exercising, you've moved the office to the house,
you're not moving around, we're ordering food all the time!
You're not doing anything to watch out for your weight. And I do everything for you.
But you don't want to at least take care of yourself for me and the
Safa, relax.
Kids
Losing weight is a challenge on its own,
It's very difficult, you know,
to make those changes in your lifestyle. Obviously,
Safa has her concerns when
-it comes to health. -This is a health issue.
-You're being dramatic. -I can't imagine my life
without this man.
And I can't imagine this man
not being there for me and the kids.
I do need him to take care of himself for me and the girls.
I have a guest for you.
A guest?
I have the best solution for him.
I found the best hypnotherapist in the industry
with lots of experience. Her name is Marisa Peer.
I got Marisa's number from Mona. She's been Mona's therapist for years.
She's here to help Fahad.
-Fahad, this is Marisa. -Hi.
-Lovely to meet you. Nice to meet you. -And
she's a specialized hypnotherapist.
-You're trying it? -You!
So, she's here to help you…
Okay, help me… sleep better?
-Whatever you want. -Okay. Sure.
No, no. We're going to go for a healthy lifestyle.
It's weird.
At the same time, do I need this?
So,
what hypnotherapy does it gets your mind to send a different message to your body.
And then we try to use will power to battle
our desire. But what hypnosis does, it goes straight in.
-And takes the desire away. -It's actually pretty good.
Describe your typical day for me. So, you wake up at what time in the morning?
-About ten, eleven. -And then, what's the
-first thing you eat or drink? -First thing, tea.
-And let me tell you, he has a method. -What method? He gets a bunch of biscuits…
-Yes. -…and he dips them in the tea.
-To just literally marinate them -In the tea. It becomes biscuit tea.
See, this has been a lifestyle since I was a kid.
He does
relate food to his mother a lot. His mother
was very passionate and really an amazing cook.
He's also lost his mother. And I think that might also be something.
Of course. There's probably something in there,
that since your mother died, you're drinking much more of the
because it's certainly a memory of being happy, having an easy life.
Tea
And she suggested that resonating food and resonating tea with memories of
my mother,
subconsciously, I don't think it is that reason.
You do it,
and eventually, you keep doing it for such a long
time that it becomes a habit. Her professional opinion…
if it is suggesting that, maybe it is.
I need you to look up, as high as you possibly can.
As if you're literally trying to look into your very own eyebrows.
Keep your eyeballs rolled up.
Close your eyelids right down.
All the way down. Just close your eyelids down.
Try to open your eyes, but
they're locked tight, sealed shut. Go deeper, deeper, deeper.
On the count of five, four, three,
two, one, you are going way back to a scene,
place, event, time, that is
all to do with how, why, where, when
you learned some unhealthy eating habits.
The scene, Fahad, where you are right now
Is it daytime or nighttime?
Daytime.
Inside or outside?
-Outside. -On your own or with people?
With my friends.
I was actually, physically, trying to push my eyelid open and I couldn't.
That's when I was a little bit panicking inside.
But I can hear her, I can speak to her,
that's it.
-What are you doing, seeing, -Feeling with your friends?
Sneaking out to eat food.
-Why are you sneaking out to eat food? -In boarding school, we didn't get food.
When we were young,
I went to a boarding school. So, after boarding school
when I came back home, I found comfort in Mom's food.
-What's the food like at boarding school? -Vegetables, green, green, green.
When you went home in the holidays, what did your mother immediately do?
Make my favorites.
So, can you see that you've created a pattern in your head.
Trying to be healthy is like being at boarding school.
Is like being back at home with your mother.
And breaking it
And now that you can see it, you can change it. It's what you desire,
it's what you crave, it's what you make happen.
I was laughing.
I mean, this is our first step to
the well-being journey, and you decide this is the
perfect time to sleep?
-Is this what's supposed to happen? -I want you to go,
"That's not me".
-That's not me. -I'm not that kid.
-I can have whatever I want.
-So, just open your eyes.
-He has slept. -It's okay. It's normal.
-You enjoyed your nap? -Yeah.
So, you need to play this recording for 21 days.
You can put it on and go to sleep
immediately
-because the subconscious -will take it all in regardless.
Alright.
I'm actually glad I met Marisa. I'm excited to try the audio that
Marisa has given me.
Let's see if it's going to help.
HEROIES' OFFICE
Since there are communication problems
between Farhana and her ex, I decided to step in
and go talk to Farhana's ex
to try to reach a solution.
Hey.
-How are you, Mahira? -I'm good. How are you?
Thank you for reaching out. Welcome to my office. Mahira contacted me.
She's Farhana's friend. She was kind enough,
sweet enough to say that
she's going to try and help solve the situation. So,
I set up a meeting in the office. Let's…
Let's see what comes out of it.
-So today, I'm here -As the devil's advocate.
-Are you? Oh, no. Don't do that! -Because I only hear
one side of the story.
-No! -I want to hear your side of the story.
Yeah, yeah.
From my side, you know as I say,
especially with Farhana Yeah,
it was a bit of a…
tougher divorce than usual. Now, it's been four and a half years.
Things didn't work out, I know. I missed Aiden's beginning,
I understand.
Right? I was in Africa.
-And I missed the-- -But that was a choice. You made a choice.
Lis-- I take self responsibility for all my actions.
And my goal is to make it right. So,
the first thing I can do to make it right to my son is at least spend some more
time with him in my own way.
-You know, because -I missed out. Ehm so--
-Yeah, but that's one of -the things that really also
bother Farhana, that you were not there. And now all of a sudden, you're back
-and you want to claim, -you know, the fatherhood banner.
I know what a good father I am.
I take care of Aiden. I take care of his school I, I,
I take care of things that have to be taken care of.
I do more than enough. I've listened to her rule
stating for so many years.
"Don't do this, don't introduce… don't do this,
don't do that!" I followed them because it's okay, it takes time to heal.
I get how much she loves Aiden. There's no denying that. But again,
she's not the only one who's ever had a heartbreak.
She's not the only one going through a divorce.
I'm his father. I just want two weeks I want Aiden,
two weeks you have Aiden.
-Forget all of the rest. -Forget all the extra side
-bits. Why? I don't get it. -Heroies, that doesn't work.
That's not good for any child.
-A child needs stability. -I'm-- I'm trying to find a solution.
-But that's not a solution, I'm sorry. -My issue is that she shouldn't
be setting the rules, I'm not with her.
I can't spend time with Aiden and my other half. That's her rule.
She forgets I'm his father.
I find that rule ridiculous.
Well, one of the main reasons I'm here is I'm a mother,
I'm going through my own issues in my relationship.
So, I put myself a lot in her shoes.
I would hate for me to ever have to go through this.
Since, right now,
I'm in a middle of a divorce I kept thinking while Heroies was talking,
what if this was me?
What if I
was fighting just to keep my daughter in my life?
If there's going to be war over my daughter's custody,
I'm willing to stop the divorce procedures at once.
Farhana has a problem with this person…
-Correct. -…in your life. And you
-know why she has a problem. -Right. She would have a-- No, no.
-I don't. That's what -I'm saying, I don't.
She said she's the reason your marriage broke up.
-That is not true. -That is not why the marriage broke up.
The marriage broke up because there were too many fights, too much toxicity.
It's just the hearts are they're not together
anymore. We're just staying there. You know,
-Yeah, you want your -different paths. It's fine.
And--
-I tried my best. To be honest, -I tried my best for years.
And it wasn't enough. I couldn't do it anymore.
It was close to ending anyways about seven to eight years ago.
Then, I was literally going to tell her, "Listen, let's sit down.
I don't think this is working out." And then,
I just got a
"oh, no. I'm pregnant!"
I had to stay with her.
The best thing I've ever got from her
is my son.
So…
Farhana, it's okay that any boyfriend she has
she can introduce to Aiden. All of them, and that's okay.
-Don't do it out of spite. -No, no. Spite is the other department.
If she gets married tomorrow, I will be the first person
there happy for her.
I'm a big supporter of her, of course. She's the mother of my child.
All I'm saying is, please do what's fair.
Forget that someone exists. Just do what's right for your son.
It's time we grew up.
Get rid of this narrative. Just don't think about your ego,
don't think about
"I don't want this, I don't want that". Don't. Just-- It's not about ego.
-Have you tried asking nicely? -Many times.
-What's "nice" for you? -I tried nicely saying, "Hi Farhana!"
-Show me. Show me asking nicely. -Hi Farhana Bodi.
-Yes. -Queen Farhana Bodi!
-Sarcastic. -Can I please have some time
-with the child that I created? -Remove the sarcasm.
-Let's just remove the ego. -Nicely. Yeah.
You can make a message, "Hi, Farhana!"
-Hi, Farhana! -"I would love to spend
more time with my child."
I would love to spend more time with my child.
How about that? Yeah?
I will give you the slow clap.
Let's do this.
I'm going to listen to what Mahira said and I'm going to try nicely.
MINA RASHID
Me, Hassan, and Hanna,
the friendship that we have
is developing quite a bit.
So, we made a plan to go sailing.
King Fahad, you're going to help us out, finally?
Yeah.
And then, it's nice for guys to hang out just to speak
what's on their minds freely.
-We're good? -Let's do it.
Wow!
That's exciting!
How are things with Mona? How's work? How's life?
Ah, we're doing alright.
It's obviously interesting to, ehm,
be married to a very busy, independent woman.
Obviously, it comes with some funny quirks.
Like for example,
Mona is someone that organizes her calendar in an interesting way.
She puts everything into her calendar.
From the very beginning of the day to like, you know, waking up…
-Really? -…going to work. So now, if I actually
want to do anything with her,
she literally wants me to send her a calendar invite.
-What? -Yeah, and
this is the part where it gets interesting,
she wants it three days in advance.
-What?! -Yeah.
You're joking!
I wish I was!
Personally, I love the fact that I'm married
to a hyper successful woman.
But I think it starts to get a bit challenging when
that starts to come into the dynamic of the relationship.
And this is where our approaches differ.
I can somehow relate.
I mean, with Zeina obviously being
so busy right now. She's just working crazy hours.
With the businesses and everything that's happening in our lives with Ebraheem,
I'm thinking about making Zeina a very big surprise
to motivate her.
But God knows what her reaction will be.
-How has it been going for you? -The other day,
I sat on a rollercoaster,
and my head went spinning. I'm like, "What the f--"
-Oh, no! -Why am I feeling dizzy?
Over the last few years, I've put on a lot of weight.
So, by putting on a lot of weight, it also makes your blood a bit thicker.
-So, that creates problems. -Vertigo.
So, Safa invited a hypnotherapist yesterday at home.
Which was…
-Really? -…another experience.
Oh, gosh!
That's Safa's character. With Safa, there's always something new.
So, she said that, you know, by trying this,
it'll help you focus on your health.
Have they given you, like, a tape or something that you have to hear?
-A tape, yeah. There's a tape, yeah. -So, I have to hear this tape
I'd be very interested to know how this works.
Every night before I sleep.
-It stops-- -If you need personal
-trainers, -Oh, I hate it! -We got you.
-But I hate it. I hate going to the gym. -I'll tell you what--
-We can help. -We can make it fun.
If you literally do 15 minutes,
three times a week, you feel good. Give it a shot.
Hassan and I really love going to the gym.
And we want to encourage Fahad. So, we'll take him one day
to motivate him.
We're looking forward to helping him out.
Let's grab another drink before we go out.
It's-- -It's-- It's dehydrating me quite a bit. -That's a good idea.
Be careful, it doesn't have sugar.
-Or that's next step of the hypnosis. -Oh yeah, that's
another thing about sugar.
MARWAN'S MUSIC STUDIO
Since Bliss has been so busy now,
producing music, working on his music
I thought, let me go to the studio and
catch up with him.
-You want to hear some of my music? -What's up? Yeah.
I love it.
Ah, this is the song.
It's such a good song.
-I love it. -It's good, right?
It's actually been a great year. I'm trying to focus on my own career.
I have four businesses already, and I just signed a record deal.
-Let's see what it's going to be like. -Tell me, like…
-How are you feeling now? -You know, having to manage, like,
all these businesses
that I have, it takes a lot of your time.
And I don't want to be in the situation that I was last year.
I felt like last year went by very fast.
And I felt like I didn't get a chance to speak my mind about what was going on.
And I think today is the right time to
open up these subjects
and speak with Danya about how I felt last year.
I was going through a really tough time last year, you know?
You weren't there, and Ebraheem who's my friend wasn't there.
You also know that, like, you know,
what I'm going through with…
as far as my dad.
So…
About two years ago, my father suffered a stroke.
And as a result,
he has memory loss. And It's really tough when…
You know, your dad, the man of the house, the father Just…
suddenly, becomes so weak.
And…
you're also dealing with
being the strong person
but also,
you know, what your dad is going through.
It's just tough.
I didn't know what you were going through.
Yeah. The best way to move forward is communication.
I think, one of the main challenges in our
relationship was communication. If I was upset, I wouldn't tell him,
or if he was upset, he wouldn't tell me. But that's the wrong approach.
Because after a while, everything adds up,
and then you just let it all out and it might be too late.
You are the dream husband.
And, you know, the best thing about us and our relationship is that
-we are friends first… -Yeah.
…And then we're partners.
Danya knows me better than anyone else. She knows what I've been through,
she knows my character and she knows my values.
So, I got a gift for you,
-because I know you love gifts when you come to the studio. -Oh, my God!
I hope you're going to like it. And now, I have a surprise for her.
-I got you this. -What is that?
-Every time I come, I get a gift. -This is to show you
how proud I am of you,
to acknowledge how well you're doing.
-And I hope you're going to like it. -Okay.
I'm nervous.
What is that?
-It's the key to Karak Inc. -What does that mean?
-That means it's all yours. -What? No!
-Yes. Yes. -No!
I had an idea to open a Karak café
that was also taking a lot of my time.
And I want to spend my time working on my music and my production.
Me and Danya, we're in a great place right now.
And now that Danya is in the FnB business,
I thought this would be a perfect combination.
At the end of the day, our legacy is for our kids. So,
whether it's with me or with you, it doesn't make a difference.
This means more to me than, like, any jewelry or any car.
It's like, the fact that you trust that I can
run your-- your your business, it means like,
it means so much to me.
I was in total shock.
Never in a million years did I expect him to just
hand over one of his businesses to me.
I love you. Thank you.
It's the best gift of my life.
Thank you.
I think this is the most romantic thing Bliss has ever done for me.
Talking about business, I'm going to talk to Bliss,
tell him what I've been going through with my business partner.
I want to talk to you about the whole Ebraheem thing.
It's really bothering me,
because I heard that he was talking about me to Zeina and Safa. So,
when I spoke to him,
I asked him, like, is it true?
And he's like, "Yeah". And then he got mad at me
for telling you.
You're my husband. Obviously,
I'm going to tell you everything. He was like, "Yeah, if you told Marwan,
then I can tell Safa and Zeina."
-I'm like, "You can't compare". -That's different, though.
-That's what I said. -Sometimes, I think Ebraheem forgets
that me and Danya are actually married,
that we're not three friends, that it's husband, wife, and friend.
And then after, I thought we were fine.
I told him, "Me, you, and Bliss are going to sit.
There's no issue." Because when I ask you,
-you tell me there's no issue with you and Ebraheem, right? -Yeah. -So then,
Ehm, I told him, "Don't worry. Me, you, and Bliss are going to sit,
we're going to talk about this. Like,
it's just a misunderstanding." Then, three hours later,
I thought we were fine,
then he posted online that he's going to sell the Besties Café.
I saw that.
I was shocked,
honestly, that he would do that. But at the end of the day, like--
Yeah. It's a-- It's a partnership.
-Yeah. -I didn't even know that.
He didn't even talk to me about it.
But the thing he needs to know is that
he cannot sell the Besties Café.
I'm 50% owner.
You should, you know, pick up the phone and call Ebraheem,
and if you think that he feels a certain type of way about me as well, like,
let's all get together.
-Ehm, it's, it's-- Sometimes brushing-- -You need-- You need to arrange this.
Because I'm not talking to him.
I don't know how to differentiate between the friendship and the business.
You're going to sell the Besties Café, and you're selling our friendship, too.
