This is the third time you're trying to destroy my character. The third time.
-Stop trying to attack my character. -Well why…
Why do you… Well why do you think I…
-Stop trying to attack my character. -Why do you think I respond…
Just because you're a loser…
-Guys, guys, guys, guys… -You fucking piece of shit! Who
-the fuck do you think you are? -No, no, no, no.
No, no. Ebraheem! Ebraheem! Ebraheem! Ebraheem! Ebraheem!
Ebraheem! Ebraheem! Ebraheem! Guys, guys stop it. Guys, no way. Calm down.
-Guys! Guys! Guys! Guys! -Ebraheem!
Piece of shit!
-Guys! Guys! Ebraheem! -You fucking piece of shit.
We're locked up together. Everyone trying to separate us.
-Even security got there. -Come on, come on! Stop! Stop! Stop!
-Leave him Ebraheem. -Hey! Hey! Hey!
I couldn't believe my eyes. I didn't expect this to happen.
-Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! -You fucking hit me in the face
with a plate! You piece of shit!
-Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! -You piece of shit!
-Calm down.
I should have listened to everybody else. Salem warned me and I couldn't believe it.
It was my turn today.
Jealousy to the point of violence? A brother trying to hurt me?
My heart was broken.
Everything happened from zero to hundred so quickly like, it's ridiculous.
Enough!
-Don't go back there. -Get the camera out of my face.
Enough.
Last night you poked the lion and the lion didn't do anything.
You don't come back again and poke a lion a second time,
and expect nothing to happen…
Bro!
Ebraheem, just leave it… on your eye. For every action, there is a reaction.
Marwan's reacted to Ebraheem's action.
When I saw that scene, I recalled everything I used
to say to them. That's it!
Thank God they stopped there. Let's see what's going to happen at the hospital.
Marwan, not you nor a thousand men like you, can handle Ebraheem Al Samadi.
So it got to a point where he… has to harm my face.
Quick, quick, quick, quick. Obviously, with what happened, Ebraheem had to be
rushed to the hospital. Bliss was kind of upset with what happened.
-It's okay. -Marwan wanted to apologize to Ebraheem,
but I stopped him because things would escalate.
Marwan was upset and I felt that he regretted what he did.
Stop, calm down. Stop.
-Calm down. -So I did what any normal person would do.
I reacted.
I've never been in a fight my entire life. It made me sad,
and I didn't know what to do.
Marwan, calm down, dear. It's not the time. Relax. It's okay. It's okay.
-It was an accident. -Let me tell you something, Ebraheem,
and listen loud and clear.
Maybe you got away with it before,
but not me. I'm not that guy.
Not me, not my wife, not my family.
No!
I couldn't believe it. Did this really just happen?
I'm in denial.
After what happened, I felt like I couldn't be there anymore.
-So I thought it was a good time for me to go home and talk to Danya. -Hi!
Hey.
I'm not looking forward to this conversation with Danya. I know it's going
-to be a painful one, -How are you doing?
But I'd rather she hears it from me than someone else. Good. -It's a good thing you
-didn't come to this trip. -I was just looking at my phone, and
then I saw that Ebraheem blocked me on everything.
What happened?
Where do I start?
I called you last night, and I told you what he did at the gathering.
Yeah. I'm so disappointed in him.
-He thinks everything is a joke. -He didn't call you yesterday
-after he did that? Message you? -Nothing. Nothing.
-And I didn't message him, -Because I've said everything to him.
-Yeah. -I give up on him.
If I ask him not to tell anyone,
there's no exception to that rule. I mean no one.
It's like someone stabbed me in the heart.
He took something so beautiful, so sacred that me and Bliss have,
and he just threw it like it's nothing.
You're not going to believe what happened today, then.
Tell me.
Marwan?
Can you tell me?
I'm trying. I'm trying to tell her
exactly what happened, but the words are not coming out.
Why are you crying, Marwan?
-What happened? -Because this is going to sound
so crazy to you.
So we get the breakfast, and it's just the boys,
and then he eventually shows up. Fahad, Hanna, and Salem…
You would assume that he's going to walk in with his tail between his legs,
and his head down. No, he's walking in with a smile,
is now giving him life advice about how to do things. chilling, talking…
Zero remorse.
The three guys, who he's been talking shit about always,
are now giving him life advice about how to do things.
And then I said, isn't it ironic that all these
guys at the table here, are giving you advice about
how to be a better person?
This boy, he gets up.
He just puts his hand on the table,
and he pushes it all.
The way I reacted, I mean, I don't remember.
I picked up whatever I saw. I threw it at him. He started going crazy.
Three people could not stop him.
I never expected this from Ebraheem.
Bliss is a super peaceful person. It takes a lot to get him to this place.
This is actually impudence. He reveals my secret,
no remorse, no apology.
And then on top of that,
he comes and fights with you.
He's not sane.
Not at all.
I'm sad that we've gotten to this point. I never thought this would happen to us.
I thought we were all so close. We were like family.
Like, the last thing I need in my life is stress. And then they do this,
the biggest thing that would stress me out.
I'm sorry this happened to you. I don't know where we went wrong,
that it took him to this level of hatred towards you.
You guys were so close. You're like brothers.
That's not my brother. No.
It's a lot more hurtful because we were so close.
But I didn't think he was going to do it in his own circle.
I think it's time for the show to end.
Roll the credits.
This is not what a friend or a family member would do.
-I love you. -I love you too.
We're going to get through this. It's okay.
I believe you.
It's the last day of the retreat. To end this hectic weekend,
I decided to invite the group to lunch on the beach.
We can say our goodbyes and go back home.
-So relaxing, right? The vibes here. -Yeah.
Is Ebraheem and Bliss coming?
Ebraheem and Bliss…
Are they not coming?
Hanna and Fahad told Safa and me, what happened with Bliss and Ebraheem at
-breakfast. -Bliss left.
-He left? -Yeah.
-No, really? -For work? Or for…
-Yeah. He wanted to go back to Danya, -I think.
-And Salem? -Yeah, where's Salem?
-He's not coming either? -He's not coming.
Ebraheem is missing, and Bliss, and Salem, and I'm just wondering what's going on.
Did they at least make up today or what?
Quite the opposite.
-And it was… -Ebraheem.
-Hi! -Hi! How are you?
-How are you? -How are you?
Hello, hello, hello.
We missed you.
-How are you? -I'm good.
-How is it going? -Good.
Hamdellah, I'm good.
-I'm good. -Yeah?
-How do you feel? -Good.
No, what's up? Seriously! Ebraheem arrived,
and I felt that… something happened, so…
So Salem, and Hanna, and Fahad, we had breakfast with Marwan.
And Salem opened the subject.
He said that, you know, you guys are like brothers,
"I'm surprised that the three of you are defending and it's not worth it to be
mad at each other.
And Fahad said a similar thing, and Hanna said the same thing.
His response was…
"I'm surprised that the three of you are defending someone that you all had
a problem with."
I said, "Bliss,
this is the third time you're attacking my character.
It's like you're questioning who I am, and you know exactly who I
So… I got angry. I got up off the table, and I went like this, you know,
am."
like suddenly. -And then I guess, I don't know,
he got scared. He took the plate, and he put it in my head. -Oh my God!
-Oh no! Oh my God! -Look.
-No way! Really? -He smashed my face with
the biggest plate. No way!
I am shocked.
-For a minute, I thought in my mind that, -There's a cut and blood.
That was scary.
This guy, Ebraheem, must have provoked Bliss,
The bleeding is not stopping. No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Oh my God!
Because Bliss would never do that. And I think this is what has happened.
-I mean what happened guys… -What happened after he broke the plate?
-I blacked out. I don't know, -Like, I… All I know is I went back
to him. I want to rip him apart in pieces.
I want to give Bliss the benefit of the doubt,
until I understand from his side what happened.
Emotions got out of control.
It's too much.
-Did you hit him back, or? -But…
-I tried to, and Fahad and Salem -and Hanna, they held me back.
Is this because of yesterday?
I don't think so. I think it's been building up.
-It didn't just happen like this. -I really don't know…
I don't know that guy…
You mean… You've been bottling this
up inside of you? For what? Because you're jealous?
Because you're a 42-year-old DJ?
So what if he's a DJ?
If someone like Ebraheem is going to try and be friends with me,
-and then behind my back, talk about me, -it's not acceptable.
-But this is just like, a sign of how bad -Things have reached with Bliss.
There's much more. The issue is deeper.
I kept trying to tell him. He would go to Salem and
he'll talk to Salem, but he wouldn't come to me,
and he wouldn't tell me.
I don't think for a second he had the intention,
to actually target your face or your eye.
Ebraheem felt like… he was attacked and he's injured.
He was talking out of frustration and anger.
I didn't really want to take whatever he's saying, that is negative,
into consideration.
In a moment of rage, sometimes you forget what you're doing,
and you have to compose yourself…
-your actions. -You're… You're liable for that.
-We have to be accountable for -Our reactions.
Ebraheem can speak his mind. He's a grown adult.
He can say what he has to say. He's the affected party.
But then at the same time, Ebraheem knows the buttons to push,
-to get a certain reaction -from certain people.
How is this going to affect your friendship with Danya?
It's not about that. It's that, you know,
I…
for Danya, I don't even want to tell
her what happened. Let him tell her his version.
I don't want to come in between them. They're married. They have kids. For me,
I want to stay as far as possible. I already blocked them both on Instagram.
I don't want to deal with them. I don't want to see them.
But you showed me who you are.
Danya doesn't know my side of the story. I'm not excited to tell her,
my side of the story. I'm positive she'll take my side.
But Ebraheem, you can't always make a scene out of everything. I mean…
-Danya. No, I was calm… -You have to calm things down,
Jwana, I did yesterday. Right? You guys saw me.
-I mean… -No, I'm not going to tell her anything.
-I'm worried about you right now. -Send her a message and tell her you're
And also Danya, 'cause she is pregnant.
Sorry, and that you didn't do anything.
-And I just think you blocking her might make her really upset. -No,
I'm not going to tell Danya anything.
And I think maybe you should just message her and just say…
Okay, Ebraheem, can you talk to her?
Imagine, uh… Imagine, Marwan answers…
-Really? -Yeah.
She's not answering?
It's not answering.
Danya didn't respond.
I want to talk to her and calm her down, and tell her it's all fine,
don't be afraid, we're like family.
We will solve this together. That's what I wanted to say
but she didn't let me.
-Do you think it's fixable, Ebraheem? -When I make a decision,
when it comes to my own well-being,
-it's final. -What's your decision?
It's to be away from him.
You can't fix what's broken, that's the problem.
-He broke… he broke something… -It's not about hating the other person,
it's about the hurt they caused you, that you feel after the incident.
I understand the feelings and the emotions he's going through.
It's just like my story with Loujain, The fights are stupid,
but what you're fighting about is not stupid. I mean, honestly,
yesterday after I left,
I mean, I don't know what happened. I left because I was really upset,
not because she was there. When I got upset,
it was because I love her.
Seriously!
-That's true. -I have forgiven her, believe me, you
can cut your relation to someone, but you can't make yourself hate them.
But she put herself, and she put me in this situation.
Why is it so easy for some people to betray
their friends? Nothing is worth it.
It's not the money that make you respectable.
Money never made decent human
beings. We're the ones who make the money. So don't get swept up by it.
If you want to be comfortable, then be comfortable with yourself. Work on
-yourself, from the inside. -That's true.
Money is not a standard. I judge people based on who they are.
People's personality on the inside is what I care about.
Jwana, we love you.
-Thank you. -I know time heals everything.
Yeah.
Anyway… Girls, I want to invite you to…
A pajama gathering.
-Oh! -Pajama party!
-Oh! -It's…
only for the ladies.
I really feel very sad that Jwana and LJ didn't fix things.
-So I'm going to get you some pajamas. -Is Loujain coming?
-Oh my God! That would be the best. -Really I like it!
I genuinely hope they will become friends again because,
It was action packed. because they definitely need
to patch up and fix things.
Guys, thank you very much for coming. It was action packed.
Thank you Zeina.
Thank God.
And I'm sad that some friendships had some bumps.
-Time heals everything. -Sure.
-Thank you, Zanzoun. -This retreat is over. I said…
we have to do this retreat to make sure that,
the hearts are opened and people made up but…
Thank you so much. It didn't work out as I planned.
After the drama that's happening in the group, I wanted to get out of this thing,
because it's not me. I decided why not do a picnic by the sea with my kids. Where we
-can spend some special moments. -Wow!
Wow!
-That's so nice! -Do you like it?
-Yeah. -Yes.
Yeah? I picked our favorite colors.
-Thank you. Love you so much. -It's our small getaway.
My kids bring out the best of me.
And when I am with them, I'm in my own element.
They're my world, they're my rock, they're my everything.
-We're having a picnic by the beach. -Cheers.
Oh, cheers!
Cheers, Talia.
Very good, cheers.
So…
are you gonna get married one day?
My daughters, they're my best friends. The older they get,
the more the communication becomes different.
Of course I will get married to the person that you approve.
Am I gonna get married any time soon? No.
Whoever I will be married to is gonna be someone that you accept, and you love.
And he has to also love you as his own daughters.
The status of the engagement has been called off. I am no longer engaged.
Now my full relationship is with my family and myself.
Do you want me to get married?
-Yeah. -Well yeah, to the right guy.
Yeah, but it also matters if you're happy with him.
Oh, baby!
Not just if we're happy with him.
I feel so proud of my girls and…
Because I've had a very rough relationship with my own mother. You know,
I feel like you girls are not only my daughters.
I feel everything I didn't have in my life with my own mother,
I want to give it to them.
You know, I feel like you girls are not only my daughters. You're my best friends.
Because we are. I make a lot of mistakes.
You know, mommy is not perfect.
So I want you to know that we all learn from our mistakes.
What matters is how we improve.
And you girls, make me always wanna be a
better version of myself. Honesty is very important
with the children.
After the whole fight between me and Jwana, I matured a lot.
And I feel like now it's time to just let it go. And only time is a healer.
I have a small surprise for you.
Something small.
-Here you go, Talia. -Thank you.
It's our initials.
Because you know what?
We went through so much.
Just the three of us, all by ourselves.
And we made it.
-This is the best gift you ever gave me. -Is it?
Yeah.
You know what? I always tell you, promise me you'll never leave me.
-I would never. -I will never leave you.
Promise me.
-Because I will never leave you. -I promise.
Sometimes I just take a moment and I just look at them, and I pause.
I just get flashbacks when they were born.
And I look at them now, and this just makes me so…
So happy, I get overwhelmed with emotions.
I mean it when I say together forever.
After what's been going on,
Danya and I both decided it's best if we gather the group,
and tell them the story.
And I also wanted to make sure that Hanna, Fahad and Salem were also there.
-How are you? -Hi.
-How are you? -All good.
Good?
After I left the retreat, I heard about what happened
with Bliss and Ebraheem. So today we're going to see Bliss.
He said he's going to be sharing his side of the story,
of what happened with Ebraheem.
This is my first time seeing Danya after hearing the good news, regardless of the
way we did, I wanted to congratulate her. So I got her flowers.
-Congratulations. -You're so sweet.
-It's just something small for you guys. -That's so sweet.
So sweet.
-Marwan, my dear. Hello, how are you? -Good. Good.
Girls!
I missed you girls.
-Congratulations. -Congratulations.
-Thank you, guys. -You're welcome.
Yeah, how are you feeling, Danya?
-I'm not great honestly. It's hard. -It's not easy.
-Did you have this before with -Your other pregnancies?
Yeah, with all my pregnancies. Yeah. I was planning to announce to everyone.
And when I found out, like, how everyone found out,
it really upset me. But I appreciate it and thank you guys…
thank you.
They're congratulating me and I'm sitting there thinking,
this is not how I wanted you guys to find out.
I would think maybe,
someone that hated me would put me in this position, not my best friend.
First of all thank you for all coming here today,
and I'm sure you've all already heard what has happened.
It's a terrible situation to be in, and I'm not happy about it at all,
and I think it's important for me to tell you my side of the story.
Farhana told me Ebraheem put on a whole act and told a fake story.
Made everyone feel sorry for him, but it's alright.
I'm going to tell my story as is.
It's okay, habibi. This is life. It happens.
God puts you in these situations to see and move on, life goes on.
Marwan is very upset, because all of his feelings
got way mixed up,
he doesn't know how to explain himself, there's anger and resentment.
He told you he shook the table a little bit,
and I got angry and I threw something at him.
It's absolutely false.
He got up. He smashed the table and he pushed everything onto me.
I'm happy that Bliss told his side of the story, which I think is really important.
Am I right or wrong?
Every story has two sides. According to Bliss,
Ebraheem didn't just hit the table, no. He pushed everything on the table.
The story… is totally different.
The night before he told our most precious secret,
the thing that we wanted to tell all of you
ourselves, the baby. What would you do? Tell me.
I mean… You know how Ebraheem is. He's emotional.
-But that's not right… -It's not the deepest secret. It's
-something that he shouldn't have said. -No… It's a secret of course… -There's
health, there's a child's life, there's a woman's life.
Yeah but he… Yes, but they were planning to tell us.
-Yeah, but that's not right. -No, babe.
I love Ebraheem, but still, there are lines that we shouldn't cross.
It's so refreshing to see that you guys have a different view of Ebraheem now.
Because… When the past years, I was getting
all the backlash of Ebraheem,
and nobody was even speaking about it or saying anything about it,
You're right. and made me look like I am a bad person,
and I am not who I am.
Bliss, Danya and Ebraheem's friendship
is based on…
-Zeina is the enemy, -but when Zeina is no longer the enemy,
He's immature. His behavior is ridiculous.
What's the core of their friendship?
Bliss, I understand It is humiliating, But it reflects on,
his bad behavior.
He's immature, his behavior is ridiculous.
Everyone here knows Ebraheem can be an asshole,
but where I was disappointed with you, was the action of flicking something.
Knowing you, you didn't aim for it. Knowing you,
it was a reaction. Knowing you,
you didn't want to hurt him.
But you have to have more
control on yourself.
Ebraheem is crazy.
But then again, this is how you're gonna start dealing
with situations? No dude, you don't. That's not how you conduct yourself.
Marwan, I don't blame him because he
reacted based on the action, and I wish that both of them they go back,
sort it out, fix it.
It's a small minor issue,
and I will do my best to fix their problem at any cost.
Let's wait for them to calm down and for things to cool off between them, then I'll
see how I can fix things between the brothers.
See, up until that point you were the victim, but the moment you threw that
-plate, that just switched around. -Now you got to think
how do you move on from here.
Yeah, I know what I need to do. I need to not have people
like that around me.
I feel terrible but I'm not gonna let this happen over and over again to me.
I'm not gonna let someone like that, come into my life and
Honestly Bliss, I completely understand why you
trigger me like that.
Are upset on both parts, like…
But I do think you both love each other
and this just escalated unnecessarily.
You guys just need to figure out a way to solve this because…
It's not worth throwing away such a big friendship.
Honestly, I'm not here to decide who is right
or wrong, or who's the bad guy.
I think that they both need
to apologize to each other.
Bliss the fact that you feel bad now,
is confirmation that was not who you are.
From what I saw of Bliss, he had a lot of regret,
The reality is that you can't really plan how you react. It's a reaction.
Because clearly he doesn't seem to have a violent bone in his body.
The reality is that you can't really plan how you react… It's a reaction.
-Life goes on. -Right. Exactly. You know,
you can't keep it lingering.
-Thank you, guys. -Thank you, guys.
I know this has caused a lot of…
tension and awkwardness in the group.
For me, I wanted to tell my side of the story.
I couldn't care who wants to support me or who wants to support him.
I know the truth. I know what I did and I
know what I stand for.
So we'll see you guys at your anniversary party?
Yeah!
-Congratulations, guys. -Thank you.
Thank you, guys.
We were planning our 10 year anniversary.
But after what happened I felt like, let's switch it up a little bit,
and once they get there we're gonna tell them,
that not only is it our 10 year anniversary,
we're also gonna do our gender reveal together,
and Ebraheem is still not invited.
After the problems with the group happened,
the pajama night came at the right time… I'm very excited for the girls to come
over, I've prepared caviar and feathers. I can't wait for it, honestly.
Oh my God! You're so cute. Good to see you. I love this place.
It's like a girl's dream room.
I love the idea of having a PJ party.
It's just nice to have girl time, like I really need this right now.
-Hey, girls. Hi, baby. How are you? -Hi, dear.
Welcome, welcome…
It's known that when I organize an event,
I have to do it perfectly.
-I'm really happy that you came. -Of course, I came for you.
You're my dearest.
-Hi, girlies. -Hi!
Hey!
-Hi, hi, hi. Hi, babe. -Hi.
-Hi, Safa. How are you? -Hi.
Farhana, sit there…
So the first time in months,
Farhana came in and she said hello to me.
And she said "How are you?"
I considered this an apology. We'll move on.
I had to put my back towards your closet, otherwise, I'm gonna just to be
-like… -Me too. I'm like…
-They're like talking to me right now. -Yeah.
This is half of my collection. The other half is at my other
house in a different country.
Since I'm on this non materialistic journey.
How can you put the Birkins just out on display like this?
So girls, I thought we could keep the food light…
I love caviar.
Okay.
You know how much I like to talk to my hairclips, and all of that things,
so I brought hairclips for everyone.
-Yay! -Yay!
-These hairclips, every time I wear them, -Somebody asks me…
"I need them too." So I have selected each girl with a clip for her.
So Mahira's, because you're recently single…
-Recently single… -So you have a clip,
and it says two things.
It says "Add me" and "No chance".
If you see the guy and you like him, you can clip an "Add me",
and if you don't like him, you write "No chance". That's for you.
I really love Safa.
She's so cute.
-Of course, "Push Present" for you. -Of course. Of course.
Thank you.
"Take me shopping" and "No chance" for you.
Thanks, baby.
"Yalla habibi" for you. The most motivating piece.
-"Buy me a Birkin" for the Birkin queen. -Thank you.
It's so Safa.
And I have "Add me" for the social influencer.
-So cute. -It says "Add me".
And I feel like I just need to let things go. That's it.
It's done. I think I've taught her a lesson. I hope so.
What happened with your man…
-when we left? -He was really upset,
I mean…
-It's a lot for him. -I know. I think you guys could tell
like that… It's hard for men to cry.
-When he cried, I was upset, honestly. -I mean, at home,
he's cried a few times.
Maybe it's the first time, I see him cry. It's really, really like heavy for him.
And it's heavy for me to see him go through that.
And you're pregnant, and you have a lot of hormones.
But it's really hard for you as well.
-Very. -Because you're between your husband and
-your best friend… -And my business partner.
-And… And your business partner. -Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm stuck in between my life partner, my husband, the father of my children,
and I'm also stuck between my business partner, and my best friend.
Right now I'm not thinking about the business,
I'm not thinking about anyone else, I'm thinking about my
husband's well-being.
It's sad that we got to this point.
I think it's… maybe in my lifetime…
-Maybe the worst thing a friend has ever done to me. -Really?
Yes,
in my life.
It was like a stab to my heart.
And it really hurt me, and you know,
some people might say "So what? It's just a pregnancy.
It's not a big deal." But it was a big deal to me.
And I had told him multiple times not to talk about it.
Why do you think he told us?
He couldn't stand me having my moment, and he just wanted to ruin it for me.
That's the only explanation. I can't think of another explanation.
Ebraheem can't stand to see someone else having a happy life,
a happy marriage. He always dreamed of having a child.
And he doesn't have a stable relationship.
Like what other explanation can I give?
So, girls, okay.
Let's have some fun.
Okay? I've prepared a small surprise, in hopes of lightening the mood.
I thought of making them fight, but in a fun way.
Absolute craziness. Fight!
Farhana!
It's impossible to go a week without having a fight.
We destroyed everything.
There's feathers in my mouth, guys. I can't…
Today, I'm going to sit with Ebraheem on his own,
and, and I'll think of how to fix this friendship all over again,
even though it was smashed to pieces.
-Hi. Welcome. -Welcome.
Hello, my dear! I'm glad you're better.
Thank you bro.
-How are you? -Thank God.
How's everything?
-I'm good. -You okay?
-Yeah. -Sure? Yeah.
Recently, I warned Ebraheem and Marwan, but unfortunately,
they didn't take my words into consideration.
They thought I was just trying to lecture them or just showing off my
life experience,
but they both came to find out that they've
had bottled up issues with each other for a long time.
Thank God you're okay.
Ebraheem, you know me well, I don't like flattery.
A red flag came across.
You know? Because I can see that Marwan is upset,
but keeping it in, so I…
I saw it. You thought I was joking.
That day, he came and said…
"We need to open our hearts, and say the truth." I told him.
When you're wrong, you should say, "I'm wrong."
All of what you're saying, Ebraheem, it's not the cause of it.
-I… No. -I was there,
and I witnessed both of you.
He knows me, he knows when someone attacks me,
I come back tenfold.
I am the best friend someone can have,
but in the same time, I can be the worst enemy.
Trying to make the world think that Ebraheem
is here to destroy my marriage. Which is not true.
His marriage is already destroyed.
He doesn't need me to come destroy it.
Honestly, Bliss always blames me for
his problems with his wife. I want Bliss and Danya
to know I try my best,
-to save their relationship. -The whole situation was wrong. You
shouldn't have reached a level that is…
aggressive like this.
-I was the aggressor? -No. All of us, both of you.
Salem, I… When he… I got up from the table, and I left…
Both of you.
-I'm leaving. -No, no, no, no.
No, no, Ebraheem.
-As you were leaving, -Okay…
you threw everything at Hanna and Marwan, everything. You did this, like this.
You threw everything. -Maybe I slipped… But I didn't… -Hey, hey. No!
No, believe me on this, I swear to God, I'm not lying…
-I mean, I… -He didn't trigger you.
He reacted by grabbing what was thrown at him,
and throwing it back.
Haven't you ever seen…
-I saw you flying, man. -Me?
I felt Ebraheem is lost. I felt he didn't fully
process what happened.
I made it absolutely clear to him.
He didn't apologize. He didn't say "I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have hit you with a plate on your head."
He said. He didn't.
-He… No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. -I swear he… I didn't hear him.
He came, he was crying. "What did I do?" I swear to God.
-Really? -I swear to God.
Salem wants to calm me down.
He is a very smart person. He knows that saying all this,
will make me think twice. He's not working me up.
This is not your core, habibi.
And it's not only with Marwan. Now, you're reacting like this with everybody,
Ebraheem. I was shocked with what you did to Hanna…
I thought, what did you do, Ebraheem? What's going on?
I've noticed that, lately,
any problem Ebraheem has with anyone ends up with a physical fight or beating up.
It's clear as day that he's dealing with personal issues.
It might be that things between him and his wife are not so great.
If you don't fix it,
it will reflect on you badly and make you lose all your friends.
What will you do about the business, now?
Look, at the moment, the employees are handling it.
-Okay. -Worst case scenario, she says "I don't want to be partners".
We will do it in a very civil way. Everyone goes their way.
If you value my friendship…
I'm going to try to fix things.
It's all about family…
Bottom line.
I was worried that this family bond that we are all proud of,
might break one day due to a trivial issue that could be easily fixed overnight.
-Alright? -Alright.
Honestly, Salem is a big brother. His presence in my life is essential.
He told me things about Bliss, I didn't know.
I'm hosting a surprise event for my mother,
for a new business I made for her.
And I've invited everyone, and I hope Danya and Bliss come.
When we were kids, my mom used to always make us cakes.
It was like… if she doesn't have a thing…
-she knows how to make a cake. -Yeah. So, I thought I'd
open a business for her called,
"Call Your Mother Cakes." She doesn't know I'm doing this.
I mean, I showed her a logo, like an idea, but,
we're going to surprise her. She's going to be surprised.
-Who are you inviting? -Everyone.
-Everyone? -Marwan and Danya?
-I'm not the person to hold grudges. -Yeah.
-I'm not like that. -Thank God.
The invitation is for everyone.
After Ebraheem and I finished talking, I felt like he was open to make up,
and as soon as I felt that, I was like, "This is
done." Now, Marwan needs to calm down.
I started a new podcast, called "Meet My Friends".
Today I've invited Zeina to my podcast.
Because I wanna get to know her as a person.
-Hello! Thank you for coming. -Hi!
Thank you, my dear.
-Thank you. -How are you?
-Thank you for inviting me. -Farhana is joining us also.
After what happened between Zeina and Farhana,
I thought let me also invite Farhana to get to know each other on a deeper level.
-Hi! -Hey girl. How are you?
-How are you? -Good, babe.
How are you?
Keeping a distance.
-Fist bump. -We always just see the hard, arrogant,
not nice side of Zeina.
-I wonder if she even has a soft side, but -If she does, it will be nice to see it.
-I feel it's a bit weird that we're doing -This now,
while your friendship is in crisis.
I know. What a plot twist.
Now I feel how it feels to have Ebraheem as an enemy.
I've never had him as an enemy, so I feel your pain.
-Now I'm seeing more -Of what you were seeing.
…Were seeing. Yeah.
-Because it's very easy to be looking -At the situation when you're not in it.
Yeah.
-Okay, let's do a quick check. -Can you please speak, Zeina?
Test, test, test.
-All good? -Yeah.
-Alright. -And, in three, two, one…
Welcome everyone to another episode of Meet My Friends Podcast.
Today I have two special guests. One that has been my friend for a while,
and one that is a new friend of mine,
and we're developing a friendship. Zeina and Farhana. Welcome, guys.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
Let's get to know each other, on a deeper level.
So I want to start off. Zeina, how was your childhood, like growing up?
So I grew up in Lebanon.
I am a middle child, and because of the war in Lebanon,
a lot of families suffered in terms of financial stability.
And because I grew up in this environment where…
today I have a home, tomorrow I do not have a home,
I promised myself,
I never want to need anybody financially in my life.
I was not born into money.
For example, we never went on a trip or…
a family vacation.
We never went to eat at, restaurants, so…
there was no…
financial stability,
and I believe my parents did their best.
Yeah, you went through a tough time and I think… Bravo! You did well.
Zeina's childhood story is quite emotional.
I guess sometimes you know, situations like these in life,
force you to become very strong.
-Farhana, tell us about your… -My childhood, yeah.
So I grew up in a very close-knit, humble family.
My dad worked. My mom worked. My elder sister worked to support us.
And that's why I am so all about women empowerment,
because I've seen where my sister used to…
-She sacrificed a lot to work and… -Yeah.
To do things for us.
I am so proud of myself but I feel like I could do more, and more and more.
I always want to push myself to do more.
And hopefully one day when Aydin grows up, he will be proud of me too.
I don't want Aydin to go through what I had to go through.
-I know. -I don't want him to hustle.
-I want to give him a good life -Because I had struggled in my life.
-We all see what you are doing. -You are doing an amazing job.
And, like we're here for you.
-And Aydin is a great kid. -Listening to Farhana
and knowing her childhood story,
definitely added more depth to how I see Farhana.
-I feel that I understand her -A little bit more.
-When was the first time -You experienced loss?
Loss?
My dad.
The loss was quite intense, and the sad part was seeing him suffer.
He died after suffering for five years from cancer.
I get quite emotional when I see myself succeeding,
and he's not there to see me.
-And yeah, it's not easy. This is -The first time, I experienced loss.
But you did babe.
Zeina Khoury is a very common name, in Lebanon, but…
I'm not Zeina Khoury…
I'm Zeina Khalil Khoury.
I see myself in him.
You know that makes me really sad You know why?
Because Farhana's dad also passed away.
And that's something you guys have in common.
Imagine the day I went to find out that I'm having a baby boy,
that's when my dad passed away.
Can you imagine how I felt?
Imagine like he couldn't… He would not be able to see my son.
Whenever it's my situation, about my dad, you know, I always cry, I mean…
You know, it's just, emotions build up inside,
that just comes out every single time I think of him.
Are you okay?
It's hard.
I really hope that this podcast,
even if it didn't change their friendship a 100 percent,
If it changed it at least 20 or 30 percent,
then I've done something. They're both hardworking women,
they've been through a lot.
When I see them succeed, I'm happy for them.
I want to thank both of you for being on my podcast.
I got to know both of you on a much deeper level. -So thank you.
I really appreciate your time. -Thank you, Danya.
So I'm just going to close the podcast. Thank you guys for tuning in.
Hope you guys enjoyed it.
And I'll see you next time. Bye.
-Yay! -That's a wrap.
-Thank you guys. -Yay!
This is what I wanted to really happen,
and I wanted us to get to know each other better, And I feel like we did.
-I think it's a good idea. -It's healthy.
She let me speak for the first time.
By the way, Ebraheem is launching
something for his mom, because he sent us an invite.
-I think he sent you guys as well. -Yeah, he sent me the invite.
-Do you… -We wanted to take this opportunity
to convince Danya to go to Ebraheem's event, to fix things between them.
Do you think that you could come because obviously it's his event with his mom.
-Let's give it a start. You never know… -Yeah. Time heals everything.
-I'll think about it. -I'm not saying I'm gonna come.
-But it's something I'll think about. -I'll see how I feel.
-Think about it. Pass by if you can. -We're going to be there anyways.
I'm really sad…
I don't know if I want to go to this event. I make my decision with Bliss.
-Hi, how are you? -How are you?
-I'm good.
I'm really excited today because I've prepared a surprise for Mom.
My mom always made us homemade cakes. Let's get these recipes…
and we sell it to people. and we call it, "Call Your Mother Cakes".
She doesn't know what we're doing, but I invited everyone.
-Yay! -I even invited Danya and Bliss. I
invited them even though I'm the victim.
I can't wait one more second to see the reaction on my mother's face.
Babe, open the door.
-Surprise! -Surprise!
-Look there. -Woohoo!
Oh!
So nice. I was wondering why pink.
I knew that Ebraheem had in mind to do the "Call Your Mother Cakes".
But I never expected Ebraheem to surprise me that way.
-I don't know, I was shocked. -Sometimes she would make cakes
with whatever she had,
and she'll tell us, when we're eating it, and we're enjoying it, she's like… "Guys,
I'm so sorry. I can never make this again." And
we're like, "Why?", She's like, "I don't know what I put in
-it." -A pinch of this and a pinch of that.
Behind every successful man is a woman. It's true.
It's my mother.
Someone's mother is no longer with us, and is in a much better place.
I wanted to address this to my brother Fahad.
So Fahad…
even though he sees me act up sometimes, he's always been so sweet to me.
And I think it's because he respects the relationship I have with my mom,
and I'm sure that, he loves his mother, and misses her even more.
So I made a small surprise from your brother to you.
Thank you.
Fahad, is the only one of us who lost his mother.
His love for his mother is extraordinary, so I got him a gift…
A picture of Fahad's mom.
Ready?
Yes.
-Aw! -Aw!
-That's so nice. -She's so beautiful.
-So sweet. -Thank you.
No one's done that for me.
This type of gesture, no one's ever done it for me.
It just rocked me completely like…
When I saw that, I was just like, speechless.
I couldn't speak. First of all, congratulations,
and Ebraheem, thank you. This goes beyond words.
I can't express myself… How grateful I am for this gesture.
They say, you know, there's heaven under mother's feet.
You have to make your own way.
You just have to find the time to make them proud and just…
Anything you do, just make your mom proud, man. Cheers.
Here you go.
I was so touched by this idea because Fahad loves his mother beyond words.
Ebraheem, thank you so much for this surprise for Fahad.
It's made me very emotional. I never got to meet my mother-in-law.
The genes are quite strong.
She lost her life sooner than she should have,
and I wish she could see what an amazing son…
His mother died from health problems.
I was like, Fahad, you don't want this for the girls.
You need to be there for us forever.
Such an emotional moment.
Being an expat in Dubai,
it makes me miss my mom, miss her food, miss being with her.
And I promise myself that in the next year,
I will make a bigger effort to spend more time with her.
Your relationship with your mom is on another level.
I wish she was closer to me. I wish I could do everything
that you do for your mom.
Ebraheem, I can see the amount of love you have for your mother.
I wish I have had this kind of relationship
with my mom, but I never did.
But you aspire me to become
a better mother,
so I can have this relationship with my own daughters.
You're very lucky to have each other, in each other's lives.
My mom hasn't been feeling well for a while,
that's why I keep getting emotional and…
You remind us that life is too short,
that we should really spend as much time as possible.
Because, you know, that's all we have.
Thank you Khadejah, for raising such an amazing son.
I hope one day I have a son like Ebraheem too,
Who supports me, and gives me all the love he does.
So I just want to say God bless you both and I hope this becomes super successful.
-And I want to try all your cakes. -Oh, thank you.
The mother is the most important person ever existed in this life.
I was raised by a mom and I became a man by a mom,
And I think all of you, you are who you are, because of your moms.
-True. -Everyone said nice things,
and it's the first time I see…
that we all agree on something,
because mothers deserve the highest place in your life.
-Hi everyone. I'm here. -Jwana. I'm sorry.
-It's okay. -I had…
-something. -Hi, baby. How are you?
Everyone is there. But unfortunately, I didn't see Danya or Bliss.
I expected them to come, honestly. Welcome,
welcome. These are the amazing cakes.
Yeah!
By the way, we all said a speech about our mothers,
but Jwana wasn't here.
You didn't have a chance, so I want you to say,
what your mother means to you.
For me, my mother is… I mean my mother is second to God.
My mother is the only person who truly helped me, and stood by my side,
and I owe her so much.
Not only for raising me, but for raising my daughter as well.
A mother can never be replaced.
She's the only one who stands by you, no matter what. May God protect your mother.
-Yours as well. -We love you.
Thank you, thank you.
Now, on that note…
This is coming from my heart, and I hope you won't get upset with me.
-Out of respect for my mother… -Yeah.
At that moment, I looked at Jwana. I looked at LJ and I looked at my mom…
And I thought, Ebraheem… This is the opportunity.
I have a small window,
to reconcile.
If we can't be together as friends, at least we should love each other,
especially the mothers.
Of course.
Because you're a mother…
And LJ is a mother.
So I want you to at least love each other.
Ebraheem is using the perfect time to really get them together.
Things didn't work out with me.
I hope he can make it happen. I'm praying for God to help.
But who told you I don't love her?
Okay, sometimes there are conflicts in life…
But love endures, because love cannot be changed.
And those who love can't hate.
There is love for her and for all mommies.
-Can you guys hug each other, -Just for me, please?
You hug her maybe first.
-I will. -LJ please give her a hug. Please come on.
At that moment…
It was an emotional feeling for me.
When I looked into her eyes, I felt her sadness and fear
that I would say no again.
Come.
Then, next, your turn.
Come on, Jwana.
Finally!
I always love her. She knows I love her.
I never hated her. Of course I missed her.
Maybe this was an act from God,
-and he made my heart soften. -I missed you.
I felt that she still loves me, and I still love her.
Nothing is worth losing this.
I'm so happy.
I love you guys.
I hope we'll always be together, from now on.
I'm relieved and I'm happy that they're back.
Because at some point I did give up.
-It's okay. -I will always love you.
Me too.
-You're my sister. -That's very beautiful.
Everybody's been waiting for this moment. It was so beautiful to see them just bond
-and make up together. -Finally!
Even I feel like a weight off my shoulders, how about you?
Nothing in this world is worth it. It's great that they gave
each other a chance. LJ and Jwana,
to discover that this friendship can continue,
and it can continue stronger than before.
This has been so heavy on my chest, honestly.
And you're an amazing mother.
-I love you. -I love you too.
I teared up, I felt like wow, like…
So much has happened, and we are now making peace.
That's nice.
-Yeah. -That's so nice.
See guys, mothers bring us together.
I didn't expect this to happen so simply…
the truce between LJ and Jwana. I was surprised.
So now that LJ and Jwana have made up,
I want to see if Salem can help me convince Ebraheem to speak to Bliss.
And they both have their right to be hurt, but they both owe each other an apology.
And they both need to… you know…
They need to do their part. I love what you did today.
It made me so emotional honestly, like…
It was such a beautiful thing, and you know…
I always say how big your beautiful heart is. You're such an amazing soul.
And you know, me and Salem, we just really wanna help, you know,
bring you and Danya and Bliss together again.
Because we just feel like all of you are hurt,
but you all care about each other as well and none of this is worth it.
I just want Ebraheem to realize,
that all of these things that happened were unnecessary.
The longer they wait to make up, the worse they're going to feel about it.
I pick up the phone on the same day and I called Danya. She didn't call me back.
I called her to… to apologize for telling
them that she's pregnant, because that's my mistake.
-And her husband is nowhere to be found. -He's sorry about what happened though.
-Sorry to everyone except me? -No, he… The thing is… No.
-He should apologize to you. -Mona, seriously. No,
seriously… Sorry to everyone except me?
-But you should apologize to Danya first. -I'm not going to run after her.
Bliss told everyone that,
he's sorry for what he's done, but he didn't tell me. I mean…
who deserves to hear the sorry?
-This is arrogance. -They're not her and
-they need time to recover. -But Mona, I think…
I think they're doing an event right?
-It's their anniversary. Yeah. -Yes, exactly. I think that would
be the best moment, the best time,
for us all to gather there and settle all the scores…
I… I… I mean…
I will never in a million years, go to any event unless I'm invited to it.
If they wanna act that they are bigger, and they have a bigger ego,
they'll be shocked to see who's Ebraheem.
And I know that both of you wanna do the right thing,
but I beg you, don't pull me into something that you cannot guarantee.
Calm down a little bit. You know what's the issue?
Salem… He has an expectation. They have an expectation.
We should cut that expectation. Let's, let's be… flat. You know, pure heart.
I tried, for my part, to get him to let go of his anger,
and I hope it goes well.
Today was supposed to be our anniversary party,
but after Ebraheem had decided to tell the group my secret,
that we're having a baby, I decided to make it into gender reveal,
and it's going to be a surprise for everyone.
-I feel like it's a girl. -You have to choose
one. What do you think?
If you're gonna go girl, I'm gonna go boy.
Everyone's invited except Ebraheem.
He still hasn't apologized. He still hasn't spoken to Bliss.
It just didn't make sense to have him there.
And I don't want him to find out the gender
of my baby, and go tell all of Dubai.
Today Danya told us to wear blue or pink.
I wonder what it could be. It's a gender reveal!
Oh my God! Hi!
-How are you? -Hi, how are you?
Hi, how are you?
-What do you guys think it is? -I think it's gonna be a boy.
-Hi, how are you, babe? -Hey, it's so pretty.
Today we'll know if it's a girl or a boy?
We're gonna find out. -Hello! -Oh my God!
-Hello! -Yay! We got some pink.
-Hello. -What's going on?
-Congratulations. -I didn't know it was a gender reveal.
-Thank you. -Surprise.
I love that you guys came together.
Jwana and LG had told me that they made up. It made my heart so happy.
You're the only two wearing pink, which I love.
-That wasn't planned by the way. -Yeah.
But I'm happy to see you guys back together, and friends again.
-Thank you. -The best surprise.
Is today the day or no? Somebody give me a nod.
What? I'm like… Farhana and Safa.
-We're cool as well. -Let's just, make it peaceful and…
I said hi to her at Jwana's event.
Oh really? You did? Did we miss everything?
-Yeah, yeah, and Safa gave her a gift. -She gave me a gift.
What?
-Can I see a hug? Just to… -Yeah, let's get a hug.
Wow!
-Oh my God! -I was always ready to move on. I didn't
even realize this problem existed. It was in her head, like I'm…
this problem wasn't actually taking up any of my time. I'm happy it's resolved.
Salem!
-God bless you. Thank you. -Congratulations. God bless you.
-How are you? Thank you. -Congratulations. Congratulations.
Hi everyone!
Hi! How are you?
Of course the whole group is here, except for Ebraheem.
I hope the celebration doesn't end, until Ebraheem is here.
You know everyone always asks me, "Why did you marry him?" When I met him,
I knew he was the one,
because he always gave me peace in my heart.
Ten years later, nothing has changed.
He's the love of my life,
the father to two of my beautiful children, and now my third one.
I wouldn't change anything about you.
You're perfect the way you are and I love you.
-You're so sweet. -Wow!
So beautiful.
Oh! First of all, thank you all for coming to
this beautiful day. It's so, so special to us.
What can I tell you about 10 years of marriage? I mean… it's a long journey,
and it has its ups and downs and…
Danya, thank you so much for being by my side.
I know I'm not the easiest. I'm so happy that we've made it this far.
And I'm looking forward to the next 10, 20, 30, 40 years together.
-Aw! I love you too. -I love you.
-Thank you so much. -Thank you.
-It's so sweet. Thank you. -Marwan and Danya,
they've been through a lot.
It's nice to put everything aside, and just celebrate them as a couple.
I mean… 10 years is a big milestone.
Ask me.
I know.
-Alright, are you guys ready -For the gender reveal?
-Yeah, let's do it. -Let's do it.
-We're about to find out with everyone -What the gender is,
-And I'm super excited. -Ten, nine, eight, seven, six,
-five, four, three, two, one. -five, four, three, two, one.
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six,
-five, four, three, two, one. -Are you ready?
Yay!
It's a girl.
I knew it. I knew it was a girl.
I just had this feeling that I'm having a girl. And I'm super excited,
and I can't wait to meet my daughter.
Congratulations.
I'm happy. It's a beautiful moment.
Let's hold the belly.
-Who's next? -Mona!
-Mona! Mona!
Not me, for sure. Mona!
Life is all about the decisions you make.
I've decided that I am going to spend more time with my husband,
and I'm going to get pregnant, so it's in my calendar.
It's going to happen. I'm just going to live more in the moment.
Money comes and goes. I came to a realization that family is everything.
The realization that I might lose Fahad made me go crazy.
-I can't imagine my life without him. -Yeah!
Nothing is constant in life.
It was really hard for me to forgive Loujain, but then,
I decided to give her a chance. But I hope this chance
doesn't go to waste.
Life is full of unpredictable moments. What is meant to be will happen,
because we grow, and because we change.
I realize that I can't control everything.
Sometimes I have to let go of things in order to move on,
and start a new chapter of my life.
Change is the rule of life. Nothing stays the same.
When I decided to get married, I imagined that…
I'm going to live happily ever after. But life led me to a crossroads,
full of challenges, but also full of chances and optimism.
Life surprises us sometimes. There are friends who become enemies,
and there are enemies who become friends.
It's very important to know who to trust.
We are a group of successful people. We've had some amazing days,
and some bitter ones.
Does everyone trust each other?
I don't know.
When a friend becomes an enemy, it can be very painful.
Me and Ebraheem were besties. Now, I don't know what the future holds for us.
All I know is that Bliss and I are having a new child,
and our main focus is creating a loving home for our children.
Yay!
I'm so grateful. It's such a beautiful day, filled with love.
Looking back, I never thought I'd be here today.
I discovered sides to my personality that I never knew existed,
but what I could never imagine is that betrayal comes from the closest…
And the betraying friend is worse than an enemy.
Life is full of surprises. The people who were closest to my heart,
have become strangers.
Today, I decided to be the bigger person, and take a big step,
to go to Bliss and Danya's event.
Not for them, but for the baby Danya is carrying,
but I don't know how Bliss is going to react.
What? What?
Suddenly, we're all shocked to see Ebraheem
making an appearance. Let's hope they can all make up.
Ebraheem came with a poker face.
I couldn't read him.
A small gift and a small apology for ruining the…
news.
With Ebraheem… You never know.
I don't know what he was thinking.
Thinking that he can come here with a bag of flowers.
Too late!
Don't you think?
