There are many things and they're all scattered

There are many things and they're all scattered

Doctor, I've finished arranging everything, look

- Okay, don't be long - Okay

Doctor

A friend of yours passed by earlier and left this card for you

I know I spoke with him outside thanks, Shaker

I know I spoke with him outside thanks, Shaker

He looks elegant, handsome respectable, and drives a luxury car

May God bless us like He blessed him are we working now or keep chatting?

- We'll work, of course - Then go ahead

But doctor, I have a problem and I don't know what to do

But doctor, I have a problem and I don't know what to do

- What kind of problem? Tell me - Mervat put me to a test and I failed

- What kind of problem? Tell me - Mervat put me to a test and I failed

When I apologized to her she spoke to me very harshly

Listen, Shaker, I'm not in the mood for that kind of conversation

Listen, Shaker, I'm not in the mood for that kind of conversation

- We'll talk later - Mervat has issues with marriage

and I don't know how to deal with it

and I don't know how to deal with it

and when she put me to the test, I failed

Did I tell you speak? I said I'm not in the mood, Shaker

Did I tell you speak? I said I'm not in the mood, Shaker

- We'll talk later - Just one minute

I won't take much of your time, Dr.

- Go ahead, what? - Where were we?

- Go ahead, what? - Where were we?

- When Mervat put you to a test - Yes, what was that test?

Who did she send to me?

- Her uncle - No, I don't want any details

- What was the result? - I failed

- Alright, I'll handle it - What will you do, Dr.? Tell me

I told you, Shaker, I'll handle it

When I say I'll handle it it means I'll handle it

I'll deal with it when Mervat comes focus on your work now

But I need to know the plan

I think we should leave and save what's left of your dignity

Honestly, he's very late

Honestly, he's very late

You're exaggerating he's not late

- We just came early - Layla, I'm not comfortable

and I don't approve of what you're doing

and I don't approve of what you're doing

What are you saying? Was I wrong to ask you to come with me?

- Couldn't he be a good guy? - Absolutely not

Any man who meets a girl online

Any man who meets a girl online

most likely assumes she has a bad reputation

Who came up with that statistic? You and your club friends?

Who came up with that statistic? You and your club friends?

No, dear it doesn't need statistics

- Everyone knows that - No, that's not true

Many people met through those apps and even got married

Many people met through those apps and even got married

- There he is, he's here - Where?

- There he is, he's here - Where?

- Where? - Look over there

That's strange he actually looks respectable

That's strange he actually looks respectable

Be quiet, don't embarrass us

- Hi, how are you? - Hi, how are you?

- Hi, how are you? - Hi, how are you?

Noura, Ramzi Ramzi, Noura

Hi, how are you?

Hi, how are you?

- Hi - Hi

What would you like to drink? You know what?

We don't have women choosing here I'll choose for you

We don't have women choosing here I'll choose for you

Just kidding order whatever you want

Just kidding order whatever you want

He's funny

Doctor, I'm very sorry you know how much I respect you

but as far as I'm concerned it's completely over

But Mervat you haven't heard me yet

I tested him and discovered his true nature

I tested him and discovered his true nature

You can't move forward in life while testing each other

That's wrong and it shouldn't happen

That's wrong and it shouldn't happen

You deceived him and showed him a false image of yourself, Mervat

No, doctor, I wanted to see how attached he was to me

No, doctor, I wanted to see how attached he was to me

It turns out he's a despicable coward who failed me in the very first test

Sorry, Mervat but I don't agree with what you did

Testing each other is wrong from the start, it shouldn't happen

So what is the right thing, Dr.?

To hurt each other?

To hurt each other?

Then we get divorced after marriage and our lives fall apart?

Anyway, I won't pressure you any further

Anyway, I won't pressure you any further

In the end, this is your life I was just trying to reconcile you two

But if you've made your decision then that's your choice

But if you've made your decision then that's your choice

- Excuse me - Go ahead

That's simply the way I think

- What about you, Layla? - No, excuse me, wait, Layla

- What about you, Layla? - No, excuse me, wait, Layla

What do you mean by that's the way you think? I don't understand

What's wrong, Noura? We're not arguing, my dear

Could you really leave me?

Is that even possible?

I want you to explain in detail what you meant

And why escalate things? What exactly didn't you understand?

Everything you said is unclear to me

How can you expect your wife not to have friends, when you do?

How can you expect your wife not to have friends, when you do?

These are trivial matters to even discuss

Surely someone building a home and a family

Surely someone building a home and a family

wouldn't think about friends

Which is more important friends, or home, future, and life?

Which is more important friends, or home, future, and life?

Honestly, that comparison is completely wrong

Do you want a woman who belongs only to you

and you become her entire life?

and you become her entire life?

What's wrong with that? Yes I want my wife to be mine alone

and for me to be everything to her

- What about her own life? - Me and her family

- What about her own life? - Me and her family

And will your life be only that as well?

What about your work your friends, and your personal life?

What about your work your friends, and your personal life?

No, I don't even believe there's a comparison

between a man and a woman

between a man and a woman

This isn't belittling women or glorifying men

But when you compare two things

But when you compare two things

there must be similarities between them

Or at least comparable differences

But tell me, Layla, can we compare coffee and oranges?

Of course not this is coffee and that's orange

There's no comparison you're right

What do you mean he's right? Do you really believe that?

It's clear, Mrs. Nora Mrs.? No, you must be single

Because the way you think is completely wrong

Because the way you think is completely wrong

No man could ever accept that

A man likes to feel that he has a place in his wife's life

and that he matters at home

and that he matters at home

But if the two are always equal and constantly comparing themselves

life becomes nearly impossible

- You're right about that - Is he right too?

- You're right about that - Is he right too?

What does it have to do with me? Seriously?

Why am I even saying my opinion?

Everyone is free to live their life and hold their own views

Does your father intend to stay like this for long?

Does your father intend to stay like this for long?

No, Mom, he'll calm down soon and his mood will improve

Am I supposed to tolerate it until his mood improves?

Am I supposed to tolerate it until his mood improves?

No, dear, that's not what I meant

each of you should tolerate the other during difficult times

each of you should tolerate the other during difficult times

I've tolerated a lot not just now, but for a long time

I've tolerated a lot not just now, but for a long time

Alright, Mom, I'll talk to him

and hopefully things will go back to normal

He won't agree, if you talk to him he'll just become more stubborn

He won't agree, if you talk to him he'll just become more stubborn

- I know your father well - And why wouldn't he agree?

Leave him alone for two days everything will go back to normal

Leave him alone for two days everything will go back to normal

Stop eating the cucumbers every time I cut one, you eat it

- But there are plenty of them - Listen, Hisham

- But there are plenty of them - Listen, Hisham

Your father has two days

If he doesn't treat me like normal people do

If he doesn't treat me like normal people do

then each of us will go our separate ways

- What are you saying, Mom? - I'm serious

- What are you saying, Mom? - I'm serious

Why should I stay with someone who treats me harshly

- and can't even stand me? - What do you mean?

- and can't even stand me? - What do you mean?

Distance yourself from trouble and you'll have peace of mind

My dear Mom please stop using proverbs

Do you realize how many years you've spent together?

Do you realize how many years you've spent together?

Even if it's fifty years, if we're not happy, then let everything end

Alright, I really enjoyed today, Layla

We should go out again

I know an ice cream place in Sheikh Zayed

I know an ice cream place in Sheikh Zayed

But we'll go together, deal?

- Of course, God willing - God willing

- Of course, God willing - God willing

- Bye - Bye

- Nice meeting you, Noura - Likewise

And I've paid the bill, alright?

- Thank you - Don't mention it

What are you doing? What kind of behavior is that?

What did I do? What's wrong?

You were thanking him so sweetly and softly

You were thanking him so sweetly and softly

And you kept telling him You're right, you're right

What's wrong with you? What happened to you?

He's nice, didn't you notice?

He's nice, didn't you notice?

Honestly, there's something about him that draws me in

What is it? I don't know

Really? And you're okay with your whole life belonging to him?

And that the home comes first?

And that the home comes first?

And if he isn't comfortable with one of your friends

you'll listen to him and cut her off?

Of course, we'll talk it out and find a solution

Of course, we'll talk it out and find a solution

Find a solution?

Do topics like these even leave room for discussion, Layla?

Weren't you always telling me that a woman

Weren't you always telling me that a woman

has her own life, her own work and her own career future?

has her own life, her own work and her own career future?

And that she must never be at her husband's mercy

so he doesn't get tired of her and leave her?

Where did all that talk that you drilled into my head go?

Where did all that talk that you drilled into my head go?

No, of course I'll pay attention to all that

But you know, he's a man

But you know, he's a man

and I have to make him feel that I appreciate that

Do you approve of him?

Do you approve of him?

I don't know it's the first time I've met him

but for now, I feel comfortable

but for now, I feel comfortable

I'm leaving

- Where are you going, Noura? - See you later

Aren't we leaving together? Noura

Noura! Noura!

Noura! Noura!

Believe me, Dad and I'm responsible for saying this

Mom will never upset you again

I know her well, Hisham

Three or four days at most then she'll go back to normal

Three or four days at most then she'll go back to normal

My dear, she's not used to you treating her this way

She thought, like every time things would just pass and be over

But she got scared when it dragged on like this, Dad

She felt something was wrong

She's really run out of patience this time, believe me, Dad

She's really run out of patience this time, believe me, Dad

I've run out of patience too I'm fed up

I'm sorry for dragging you into problems that aren't yours

I'm sorry for dragging you into problems that aren't yours

But I just can't take it anymore

No, my dear, how can you say that? What will happen next, Dad?

I don't know, here I am keeping to myself and silent

- Yes, but until when? - God knows

When relief comes from Him

When relief comes from Him

Let me suggest something, try it and if it doesn't work, no harm done

- What is it? - Why don't you talk to her tomorrow?

- What is it? - Why don't you talk to her tomorrow?

Try, let it all out, Dad

Say everything in your heart everything you feel

Then make your decision

Alright?

We'll leave tomorrow in God's hands

We'll leave tomorrow in God's hands

I'll make you some tea

Hisham, how are you, dear? I hope you're well

Hisham, how are you, dear? I hope you're well

I want to see you when you're free and alone

I want to see you when you're free and alone

It's important, don't forget, Hisham

- Miss Noura - Hello, how are you, Mr. Hussam?

Good morning, so, any news?

I honestly don't know

I honestly don't know

What do you mean, you don't know? Either there is news or there isn't

Actually, there's nothing but maybe something will happen

Actually, there's nothing but maybe something will happen

Alright, do you think she'll agree?

She's quiet, so obviously she's still thinking and making up her mind

She's quiet, so obviously she's still thinking and making up her mind

Maybe silence is a sign of approval but she's shy about saying it

Mr. Hussam, I told you from the start that I honestly don't know

Mr. Hussam, I told you from the start that I honestly don't know

and if I know anything I'll tell you

Alright, if she agrees and I want to propose to her officially

Alright, if she agrees and I want to propose to her officially

who is the closest male relative I can approach in your family?

who is the closest male relative I can approach in your family?

All my uncles and the men in the family in general

have either passed away or emigrated, there really is no one

have either passed away or emigrated, there really is no one

Could you ask her directly?

So we can take formal steps even if only symbolic, if she agrees

So we can take formal steps even if only symbolic, if she agrees

- What do you mean by symbolic? - I mean proposing

to the closest man in your family

Isn't that the proper thing to do?

Hisham, I...

I haven't found a man in my life that I could talk to

and open my heart to, except you

and open my heart to, except you

Auntie, ever since you called me yesterday

I've been feeling a little worried

I've been feeling a little worried

- I hope it's good news - It is good news, don't worry at all

Everything is fine, thank God

Everything is fine, thank God

But I don't think the matter I'm about to tell you about

But I don't think the matter I'm about to tell you about

would ever cross your mind

What is it, Auntie? Is Noura alright?

Yes, thank God Noura is fine and doing very well

Yes, thank God Noura is fine and doing very well

This has nothing to do with Noura, it's about me

This has nothing to do with Noura, it's about me

And I...

Despite the problems that happened between you and Noura

Despite the problems that happened between you and Noura

I still consider you like a son to me

I still consider you like a son to me

Auntie, could you please get to the point?

Because you're only making me more worried

Mr. Hussam Noura's school principal...

I don't know how to tell you this

He proposed to me and wants to marry me

He proposed to me and wants to marry me

Honestly, I don't know what to tell him

Honestly, I don't know what to tell him

Sometimes I tell myself You haven't lived your life yet

and I've spent a long time living alone

and I've spent a long time living alone

Then I say, no that's not reasonable

How will people accept something like this?

How will people accept something like this?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean, Auntie

Do you mean because of age?

Do you mean because of age?

First of all, yes, because of age

Neither I nor Mr. Hussam is young

Neither I nor Mr. Hussam is young

to start a new life at this age

Excuse me, Auntie before I give my opinion

Excuse me, Auntie before I give my opinion

may I know what Noura thinks?

Noura told me

Noura told me

Do whatever makes you happy and act accordingly

But I feel that she wants the refusal to come from me

I'm telling you, Auntie there's no way Noura doesn't approve

I'm telling you, Auntie there's no way Noura doesn't approve

Really? Did she tell you that?

No, she didn't speak to me but I'm sure of it

Noura is your only daughter

Noura is your only daughter

She may feel a little jealous about someone being in your life

but in the end, she's your daughter

and she wants you to be happy and I feel the same way

Really, Hisham? Don't you think it's strange?

People might criticize it how will they react to it?

People might criticize it how will they react to it?

What people say does not matter, Auntie

You're not doing anything wrong or forbidden

it's God's law, and your right and his as well

it's God's law, and your right and his as well

Honestly, I'm not convinced by the whole age issue

There's no specific age that stops someone from starting over

You can't imagine how happy I am

You can't imagine how happy I am

I never thought you would encourage me like this

Of course I encourage you

Of course I encourage you

but the most important thing is to make sure he's the right person

I don't know, Hisham

I don't know, Hisham

Then take your time no one is pressuring you

And my advice is don't let people's words and age affect you

And my advice is don't let people's words and age affect you

In the end, you're the one who'll close the door

either alone or with your life partner

either alone or with your life partner

You're the only one who should make such a decision

You're the only one who should make such a decision

That's strange did you come to eat with me?

That's strange did you come to eat with me?

What's so strange about that?

You were pretending to be angry

You were pretending to be angry

I really am angry

But I said enough is enough I couldn't bear for us to remain like this

But I said enough is enough I couldn't bear for us to remain like this

- Since when do you feel that way? - Since a long time

By the way, if I had taken a real stand every time I was angry with you

By the way, if I had taken a real stand every time I was angry with you

our relationship wouldn't have lasted one year

But I overlook mistakes that's why we're together today

But I overlook mistakes that's why we're together today

By the way, I do that too

But I don't know how to express my anger like you do

But I never made you angry

Okay, I apologize

Why are you exaggerating this time?

It's not just about this one time but rather a culmination of old issues

Enough, Shafik

Enough, Shafik

Let's turn over a new page and I told you I apologize

Mimi, I truly cherish all this time we've been together

Mimi, I truly cherish all this time we've been together

I felt sorry for Hisham as he moved between you and me

I felt sorry for Hisham as he moved between you and me

He doesn't know how to please you nor how to please me

So I thought to myself, let's sit down and resolve this issue together

So I thought to myself, let's sit down and resolve this issue together

But you should know that I can no longer tolerate things like I used to

Just as I value our time together I hope you will do the same

Just as I value our time together I hope you will do the same

I will follow your example, truly

Are we going to keep talking like this without eating?

Are we going to keep talking like this without eating?

What do you think, Shafik? Go on, in the name of God

In the name of God

In the name of God

You are quick to anger!

Listen, Layla I'm a straightforward man

Last time I wasn't comfortable with that friend of yours at all

I felt that, but why? Noura is very kind

And when you truly get to know her you'll love her just like I do

And when you truly get to know her you'll love her just like I do

- Maybe - Anyway, let's talk about our relationship

What are we going to do? What are you thinking?

- Sorry, I don't understand - What I meant was...

- Sorry, I don't understand - What I meant was...

We must agree on the nature of our relationship in the coming period

No, I'm sorry, Layla I still don't understand

Aren't we going to take a step in our lives?

Aren't we going to take a step in our lives?

Our lives? No, Layla you've greatly exaggerated the matter

- This is our second date - Yes

But we talked for a long time on the phone at night

But we talked for a long time on the phone at night

Before that, we talked and got to know each other

- So what was all that for? - It wasn't enough

- So what was all that for? - It wasn't enough

I don't know anything about you yet and you don't know anything about me

That's right, you're right

Everything you say is true

So we can get engaged for a while and get closer during that period

So we can get engaged for a while and get closer during that period

- And then we get married - No

Why are you making such a big deal out of it?

I need some time

I need some time

Layla, I want to tell you something important

This current period is the most beautiful in relationships in general

This current period is the most beautiful in relationships in general

Let's enjoy it for a little while and then see what we'll do

- How long will this period last? - That depends...

It has no specific time frame it may last for a period of time

It has no specific time frame it may last for a period of time

Until one of us gets bored of the other or we continue together

But you were talking about marriage

No, Layla why did you think I meant you?

I was speaking generally

Layla, I want to tell you something very important

We're set to be great friends

We're set to be great friends

Let's enjoy our time why make ourselves miserable?

Okay

Let's be friends and enjoy our time together!

Let's be friends and enjoy our time together!

That's why you didn't like Noura

because Noura is right

because Noura is right

Aside from the fact that your friend Noura is unbearable to begin with

I still don't understand

People like you who meet girls through social media

People like you who meet girls through social media

- they think they are girls of ill repute - Of course not

What nonsense is this Layla? I didn't mean that

Listen, I don't intend to play and I don't have time to waste

Listen, I don't intend to play and I don't have time to waste

It's clear you're just having fun I'm leaving

When you know what you really want, call me

When you know what you really want, call me

Otherwise, don't waste my time

To know how to deal with women you must understand them well

This is the problem, Yassin how do I understand women?

This is the problem, Yassin how do I understand women?

Your problem is that you've never known any woman but your wife

since you were children

You should have lived your life and experienced everything

You should have lived your life and experienced everything

before getting married

Did you come to make things worse, Yassin?

I'm not making things worse

I'm not making things worse

I have known many women in my life

Did you ever get married?

Did you ever get married?

Three times

None of them could understand me

Are they all wrong and you alone are right?

Are they all wrong and you alone are right?

I operate on the principle of ignoring and not caring

If you pay attention to a woman she will control you

If you ignore her she will pursue you

Do we have to play games with each other, Yassin? What is this?

Forget this whole sad story and focus on your life and your future

Forget this whole sad story and focus on your life and your future

What future? There is no future left, Yassin

What future? There is no future left, Yassin

I came to you for this very reason

I don't understand

I've come to you with an offer that will completely change your life

I've come to you with an offer that will completely change your life

An offer? What kind of offer is this?

I have come to ask for Mrs. Yusr's hand in marriage from Dr. Hisham

Was what I heard true?

Excuse me, sir, could you please repeat what you said?

from Dr. Hisham

Will he take long?

I called him he's on his way here

I called him he's on his way here

May God grant you acceptance and love

Forgive me, what does Dr. Hisham have to do with something like this?

Forgive me, what does Dr. Hisham have to do with something like this?

It is customary for me to ask for Mrs. Yusr's hand in marriage from a man

It is customary for me to ask for Mrs. Yusr's hand in marriage from a man

Dr. Hisham is the closest man to her

Since there was kinship between you and now there are grandchildren

Since there was kinship between you and now there are grandchildren

He is now the head of the family

That was in the past

That was in the past

There was a kinship and it was severed, sir

Don't say that

Even if there is no kinship we are neighbors

Even if there is no kinship we are neighbors

Neighbors help each other, right?

Is that so?

Forgive me, don't you think that what you're saying is somewhat strange

Forgive me, don't you think that what you're saying is somewhat strange

Nothing is strange except the devil

Congratulations to those who unite two people in lawful marriage

Congratulations to those who unite two people in lawful marriage

Why are you so happy?

And why shouldn't I be happy? I've always wished well for others

And why shouldn't I be happy? I've always wished well for others

Isn't there a way we can get Dr. Hisham to come quicker?

Dr. Hisham

Yes, your father and mother are good hosts

- Okay, please have a seat - Okay

- Okay, please have a seat - Okay

We'll go inside if you need anything, just call us, okay?

Can't they talk in our presence?

Can't they talk in our presence?

- Come, Mimi, come - Okay

- What's wrong, Dad? - I don't know

- What's wrong, Dad? - I don't know

I don't understand anything but go ahead, sir, I'm listening

I don't understand anything but go ahead, sir, I'm listening

What is it?

Was it necessary to act politely?

Was it necessary to act politely?

We could have stayed and listened to what they were saying

It's none of our business, Mimi

The man came to your son to ask for his mother-in-law's hand in marriage

The man came to your son to ask for his mother-in-law's hand in marriage

- What does this have to do with us? - What's going on?

Nothing, my dear Farida focus on your homework now

Nothing, my dear Farida focus on your homework now

- Do you think Hisham will accept? - I don't know

When the groom leaves, ask your son

When the groom leaves, ask your son

I hope he accepts and doesn't reject him and I hope she accepts too

- I don't understand you, Mimi - What's going on?

Focus on your homework as your grandfather told you, my dear

Focus on your homework as your grandfather told you, my dear

I want to understand, since when have you been so interested in Yusr?

Or do you want to mock her?

Or do you want to mock her?

And why would I mock her?

This is marriage, and it is permissible according to God

May God grant her happiness and joy

I want to know, Mimi if I die, will you get married again?

I want to know, Mimi if I die, will you get married again?

Please, Shafik stop talking like that

- Because I feel stressed - And why are you stressed?

- I would marry again - What?

- I would marry again - What?

What are you saying, Grandpa?

Enough of this talk now, Mimi the girl is sitting with us

I didn't come to just get married

I didn't come to find someone to keep me company at home

I didn't come to find someone to keep me company at home

Or even a woman to support me at the end of my life

Yusr...

Yusr...

Yusr is my lifelong dream

The one I've spent my whole life hoping to get

The one I've spent my whole life hoping to get

Your lifelong dream? That's a very big statement, Mr. Hussam

Your lifelong dream? That's a very big statement, Mr. Hussam

Do you know? Yusr and I have known each other for a long time

Do you know? Yusr and I have known each other for a long time

Just like you and Noura since childhood

But the difference between us is that fate did not bring us together

But the difference between us is that fate did not bring us together

And we went our separate ways

And in a moment fate brought our paths together again

And in a moment fate brought our paths together again

It's as if it's giving us a second chance to achieve our dream

Sorry, Mr. Hussam

I never imagined you could be this romantic

I never imagined you could be this romantic

There are genuine feelings between me and Mrs. Yusr

It is not right for a person to bury them

or even treat them as a given devoid of value

- You're right - So, do you accept?

No, sir, I am not the one who has the right to accept or reject

No, sir, I am not the one who has the right to accept or reject

A decision like this doesn't concern me alone

Mr. Hussam, you spoke with her and she answered you, didn't she?

Yes, but she is confused

Yes, but she is confused

I came to see you today

to demonstrate the seriousness of my request

Listen, sir, go and ask her

Listen, sir, go and ask her

If she accepts, then we will hold the engagement ceremony

and the wedding ceremony immediately after that

and the wedding ceremony immediately after that

Dr. Hisham, life is just a moment

Yes, Mr. Hussam God willing, all will be well

I will talk to her and then get back to you with an answer

I will talk to her and then get back to you with an answer

Do you think she will accept?

- God willing - Pressure her to accept

Okay, I will

Okay, I will

Okay, I'll take my leave now

- Go ahead - Thank you

Honestly, I didn't do anything Mr. Hussam, this way

What is this? Did you come to an agreement?

- I hope so - Congratulations, congratulations

- I hope so - Congratulations, congratulations

- God willing, all will be well - God willing, congratulations

Congratulations, congratulations

- Go ahead, go ahead - Very well, sir

- Thank you very much - You're welcome

- Thank you very much - You're welcome

May God make the outcome of this matter good

- God willing, I'll let you know - God protect you

- Goodbye - I'm hoping for the best

God willing

God willing

What's wrong, woman? Damn this

Noura, Noura your mother-in-law is ululating

Noura, Noura your mother-in-law is ululating

Yes, she's ululating not screaming, Mom

This means that things turned out well, God willing

Does it? I mean, did they come to an agreement or not?

Does it? I mean, did they come to an agreement or not?

Since she is ululating I assume that they did, God willing

No, it's impossible that your mother-in-law Mimi would wish me well

No, it's impossible that your mother-in-law Mimi would wish me well

Wait a moment, explain it to me

The outcome you want is to get married or not?

The outcome you want is to get married or not?

- Actually, I don't know - You don't know?

Okay, wait and I'll find out for you

Okay, wait and I'll find out for you

- How will you do that? - Wait

I am waiting

Noura, what do you see?

Mr. Hussam left and they went inside

- And then what? - Why are you so nervous?

- I don't know, Noura - Pull yourself together, Mom

Pull yourself together

- What are you laughing at? - Nothing, stay like that

You laugh while I'm confused

Come here, Mom, sit down

- I'm unable to sit still - Pull yourself together

- I'm unable to sit still - Pull yourself together

I've pulled myself together

May this end well

I hope things go well

I hope things go well

Mimi, what exactly do you intend to do?

Go and tell her that everything is fine, Hisham

Go and tell her that everything is fine, Hisham

Go and reassure her, that poor thing

Tell me, does he intend to hold an engagement party or just get married?

Tell me, does he intend to hold an engagement party or just get married?

I think they should have a marriage ceremony immediately

It is not right for a strange man to keep frequenting the house like this

There is no power nor strength except with God

There is no power nor strength except with God

I have to go downstairs because my friend is waiting for me

No, go and reassure your mother-in-law first

No, go and reassure your mother-in-law first

and set a date for the engagement

What's wrong, Mom? Why are you in such a hurry?

I'm going to make a cup of tea perhaps it will wake me up

I'm going to make a cup of tea perhaps it will wake me up

I feel like something is wrong

- Shall I come with you, Hisham? - No, stay here and I'll let you know

I'll finish this and let you know right away, goodbye

I'll finish this and let you know right away, goodbye

- Good evening - Good evening

- May I speak to your mother? - My mother?

- Yes - Go ahead

- Yes - Go ahead

Thank you

- How are you, Aunt Yusr? - Hello, Hisham

- How are you, Aunt Yusr? - Hello, Hisham

Why was your mother ululating?

- She's happy for you, Auntie - Your mother is happy for me?

- She's happy for you, Auntie - Your mother is happy for me?

Yes, Auntie and frankly, he is a good man

and this is an unmissable opportunity

and this is an unmissable opportunity

If you accept, we can proceed with the engagement immediately

As they say, the best good deed is the one done promptly

Engagement?

Engagement?

May you be next

May you be next first, Mrs. Noura

Really? Did I take the girl and her mom to the hospital out of chivalry?

Really? Did I take the girl and her mom to the hospital out of chivalry?

No, it was my relative who came to ask for my hand in marriage

At least he came to me and I didn't go to anyone

At least he came to me and I didn't go to anyone

If I had known, I would have married him and traveled with him

Amazing! Just like that?

Amazing! Just like that?

Didn't you ask yourself if I truly liked that woman

why didn't I continue my life with her?

Why?

Why?

- Why? - It's fate

Just fate? Or what?

No, there might be other reasons

No, there might be other reasons

Okay, mention one of them

- What? - I mean, why did you refuse?

- What? - I mean, why did you refuse?

Let's now focus on auntie's engagement

Auntie, will you answer the man or should I answer him?

Auntie, will you answer the man or should I answer him?

I think it would be better if you answered him, Hisham

Okay

Leave it, my dear, leave it, my love I'll wash the cup

Mimi, are you okay?

Mimi, are you okay?

I'm fine as long as you're fine, my dear

My dear? Get dressed and go to the doctor, I'm worried about you

My dear? Get dressed and go to the doctor, I'm worried about you

When I try to be nice to you you become worried about me?

What is this sudden change?

You just said you were happy for Yusr

whom you never smiled at

whom you never smiled at

And now you speak to me in a way I haven't heard in thirty two years

And now you speak to me in a way I haven't heard in thirty two years

- What happened? - I always want to talk to you like this

But you don't give me the chance

I wish you would always remain this way

I wish you would always remain this way

I don't mind that at all

You're right, Shafik

I really am very happy for Yusr

- But... - What?

I'm not just happy about Yusr

I'm not just happy about Yusr

- About what then? - You

You before her

What does this have to do with me?

What does this have to do with me?

In the past, I felt that you looked at her with a...

- I mean... - What look?

- I mean... - What look?

Please watch your language, Mimi

I mean, you don't do that on purpose

I mean, you don't do that on purpose

But I could tell from your looks that you admired her

But I could tell from your looks that you admired her

or were interested in her

and she never stops speaking English and French

In that moment I wanted to destroy you

Mimi, are you jealous over me?

Any woman in the world who sees her husband looking at another woman

Any woman in the world who sees her husband looking at another woman

feels like she's about to explode from jealousy and rage

Who made you think I like her?

Who made you think I like her?

No one, it's just a feeling

Thank God she will get married

Thank God she will get married

Now I understand why you are so happy and ululating

It's good that you understand, my dear

Mimi, do you know the story of the bear that killed its owner?

No, I don't know

Look in the mirror and you'll recognize it

Are you making fun of me, Shafik?

Are you making fun of me, Shafik?

Shafik!
