Hi, I'm back.
Kishan, I married him, you know?
Of course I married him, right?
And we have two beautiful children.
There's Nadia, my girl, and Salim.
Not Selim, Salim, okay?
I'm very happy.
Really.
I mean, what else does a woman want in her life?
Nothing.
But of course there are all the tiny little issues of everyday life and... I don't understand.
Why do we celebrate Salim's birthday at his other grandma's house?
Zaheer.
I love her.
God bless her.
Of course she's here with me.
Where else would she be?
My dear supportive mother.
Mom, that's because Hisham can't say no to his mother.
Why don't you go a little faster, Hisham?
I mean, we can't always be laid back and relaxed and take our sweet time with everything we do, right?
What do you mean laid back?
Just because I'm not as stressed as you are, I like to take my time.
When the birthday party's at your mother's, I have to be stressed.
Okay?
Right, Mom?
Huh?
Didn't I tell you?
Everything is under control.
Honey, you're getting hunchback from bending over your phone all the time.
Salim, listen to me when I talk to you.
Mom!
Listen!
What?
Mom, you do realize where we're going, don't you?
So let's just stick together.
The last thing we want to do is give our enemies the satisfaction.
Okay, come on.
Hi, Gahad.
How are you doing?
She's still alive, obviously.
Stop it.
How are you, Gahad?
Hey, Sean, my baby.
I've missed you so much.
Hi, Mom.
How are you doing?
You good?
I'm fine.
Why do you look pale?
Mom, I'm not pale.
Everything's fine.
Don't worry.
I'm fine.
My mother-in-law.
That's Nazli, the Mona Lisa.
Of course she's convinced her son married me because he couldn't find someone like her.
And for 13 years now, I've been trying to copy her style.
It's not working.
It's not.
And it's exhausting, you know.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to Simo.
Happy birthday to you.
That's it.
Blow them out.
Bravo!
Come on, everyone.
Let's take a picture together.
Wait, Ola.
Wait.
Okay.
Come here, Isham.
Cute.
Hey, H, I have to tell you, the grilled meat is delicious.
We should call you Dr. Chef from now on.
Now you know what an amazing friend you have.
And who's the actual chef here, the one barbecuing or the one who spent three days marinating the meat in the kitchen?
This is the same recipe we used to have at your friend's restaurant, remember?
But instead of going there all the time and paying a fortune, I got the recipe from the chef.
And now I make it at home, only on special occasions.
Because meat is not good for him, right, honey?
I season it with garlic, soy sauce, and what else?
Olive oil, orange juice, and there's one more ingredient, but I'm not going to say what it is, because that's my little secret.
Come on, you're a full-time mom and housewife, right?
So everything has to be homemade.
You even made Nadia's medicine yourself, didn't you?
Right?
Mhm, mhm.
Well, Soha, you can't have it all, can you, huh?
You chose to have a career, and I chose to raise a family.
And honestly, I have no regrets.
See, if I had a career going on while I was raising my kids, how would I be able to know them as well as I do?
Here, honey.
Mom.
Yes?
I've been vegan for two years.
I know that.
I know, sweetie.
It's not for you.
It's for your brother.
Salim, take it to him.
Take it to him.
Also, they learn their good manners from me.
This level is mine!
I'm kicking your ass!
But honey, having a career or not having a career, what matters is that you take good care of your home and your husband.
I mean, it doesn't make sense for him to have a heart attack when he isn't even 45.
But who saved him, Nasli?
Just imagine if he'd had the heart attack while she was at work.
Some of this?
Watch your head.
OK, here's the key right here.
Let's see.
You just take these.
You take this.
That's it.
And you take this.
Brush your teeth, and no playing games on your phones.
Happy birthday, honey.
Wait a sec, let me help you with these.
Isn't it bad enough your mother actually thinks I gave you that heart attack?
It's okay, just ignore her.
She's sensitive after the surgery.
Leave these, I'll take them later.
She's sensitive?
Does that mean I'm the insensitive one?
I didn't say that, honey.
I mean, I don't get it.
Why would you even have a heart attack when I'm the one taking care of all your needs?
I make sure you sleep well, eat well, no stress.
Are you listening to yourself?
Are you seriously blaming me?
No, I'm not.
But I'm terrified too, by the way.
You've been terrified all your life.
Doesn't she realize what could happen to me if something happened to you?
You're not the center of the universe.
I know that I'm not the center of the universe.
I know that all too well.
Because if I was, would your mother even dare talk to me like that?
I mean, I do everything just to please her, everything.
And when she has the nerve to say it was my fault, you say nothing?
That's too much.
I really can't believe you've been talking about my mother ever since we left her house up until this minute.
That's because I have no idea what else to do to make her love me.
Ola, listen.
What?
I can't do this anymore.
There's meat in here.
We don't want it to rot.
I'll carry it.
Who cares about the meat?
Our marriage is the problem.
I want a divorce.
Yeah.
They're sleeping.
I told them that I'm going away on a trip.
Let's just wait a few days and we'll give them the news together.
Don't you have anything to say?
Why, Yixiang?
What have I done?
Come on, just tell me.
You've done nothing.
Then tell me why.
Why?
What is it?
Okay, just stay, stay, and I'll do what you want.
I'll change.
I mean, I won't say bad things about your mother ever again.
I promise, I won't.
Ola, I'm not happy anymore.
You're not happy?
And who's happy then?
Why should we bother ourselves with existential questions?
Who is happy?
Tell me, when was the last time you even saw a happy person?
I was.
You were too.
Remember your old self?
No, I don't.
I don't.
All I remember is that we got married and we made a family.
A family.
Do you remember what a family is?
I mean, this is a chair, this is a lamp, and this, this is our family.
Ola, I had a heart attack at the age of 45.
I'm gonna need to change something in my life.
So I'm the thing that needs to be changed?
That's why you said nothing today, because you actually agree with your mother.
You really think that I was the cause of your heart attack, Yixuan?
Okay, give me these.
You're not taking anything out of here.
These are staying, and you're not sleeping here tonight either.
Now go make her happy with the great news.
Go spend the night at your mother's.
Get out, Hicham.
Wait right there!
You forgot the motorcycle contract that was in your underwear drawer!
Mr. Smartass!
I hope you'll find happiness while riding it!
Mom, are you still sleeping?
Mommy, when is Daddy coming back?
Don't know.
Please close the door, honey.
Mom, we're late for school.
Coming.
Not now, Mom, not now.
Look at that stupid big smile.
So I guess he's unhappy just like you are.
You're unhappy.
He knew that.
Yes, he knew that.
Good morning, anti-depression pill.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's it.
That's it.
We argued, one thing led to the next, and things got out of control.
Yeah, I know, every couple goes through ups and downs, but I mean, it's been going on for too long.
It's been a week now.
I don't know.
What do you think we should do, Mother?
We?
There's no we.
I can't interfere with something like that.
No, she can't.
Sure, I understand.
But the kids are starting to notice.
I mean, I don't know what to tell them.
His sham is a man, Ola.
He has a right to be happy.
I can't pressure him.
How cold.
Okay.
Okay, Mother.
Let's just hope he doesn't hurt himself on that motorcycle he bought to feel young again.
And let's hope he doesn't end up like his cousin Khalid.
God rest his soul.
Remember him?
Remember?
Remember how the motorcycle got totally crushed on the asphalt?
Yeah.
Okay, give me a couple of days and I'll see what I can do.
Okay, Mother.
Sounds good.
I'll call you.
No, I'll take back with you.
Okay.
I miss you, by the way.
Bye-bye, Mother.
Bye.
Mommy, the internet's out.
Yes, honey, I know it is.
The power is off.
It's because Daddy forgot to recharge the card.
Card?
What card?
The electricity card, Mom.
Right.
I'll just put the eggs and... Why don't you call Daddy and ask him?
I almost beat the level.
His phone's off, dummy.
I'll find it.
I will.
Why should we bother your dad with these small details?
There it is.
There.
See?
Yes.
Fine.
Let's go.
We'll be late for school.
Good morning.
Good morning, Zaina.
Good morning.
Your sandwiches are with Nadia, OK?
The bread was burnt the last couple of times.
I thought you should know.
Really?
If it was burnt, then why'd you eat Salim's sandwiches too?
I wanted to check for myself.
Mommy.
Yes?
Look, you forgot to pack them.
Really?
I was complaining about the burnt ones.
Now I have nothing.
Hang on.
Don't spend it on junk food.
No chips.
Seriously?
What about me?
Okay, bye.
Bye.
Hola!
That's Camilia.
Her official job is Head of Student Affairs.
Her actual job is bullying the parents of her students.
My dear Camilia.
I've tried to call you more than once, but you wouldn't answer.
We have a serious situation to talk about.
What situation?
What do you mean?
Who told you about the situation?
It's temporary anyway.
If there's a situation, it's only temporary.
Of course it's temporary.
You're clearly in a hurry, it seems.
Yes, very much.
How about we talk a bit more on Parents' Day?
Next week?
Yes, sure.
Let's talk on Parents' Day?
Next week?
Sure.
I'm ready.
I'll be waiting.
OK.
Hey, hola.
Hola.
Hey, ma'am, what's going on?
Do you know if anyone's home, Saleh?
Why doesn't the door open?
Actually, Mrs. Abdus-Sabur is inside, but the power is out.
She even gave me her card and told me to recharge it for her.
Okay, good.
Here.
Hola!
Yes, coming.
I'm coming.
Hi, Mom.
I'm sorry, I was sleeping.
Are you pregnant?
Congratulations, ma'am.
Congrats.
Good for you.
What made you think I'm pregnant?
You must be.
Whenever I call, you say you're sleeping, your house is a mess, you're eating the kids' food, and you look like you're mad at your husband.
I'm so glad I kept telling you, have a third child, have a third, a third.
But you're so stubborn about it.
At last, you're now expanding your family.
Congratulations, my dear.
I'm not.
You're not?
What is it then?
I'm getting divorced.
This is a nightmare.
A nightmare.
Oh, my head.
You must be kidding.
Should I get you some sugar water?
Why are you getting divorced?
Why, Ola?
What did you do?
I mean, Hisham is a perfect husband.
Why would he leave you?
Tell me.
I didn't do anything.
It wasn't me.
I did nothing wrong, Mom.
Trust me.
He came to me out of the blue and said he wanted a divorce.
Apparently, he's not happy.
But tell me, how can he not be happy?
You tell me, how?
Does that mean he's been pretending all these years?
I don't get it, Mom.
But nothing is official yet, okay?
Listen, this is all temporary.
Nothing's set in stone.
What do you think, Mom?
Right?
Isn't it?
He's going to regret it and come back.
I mean, where is he going to find someone like me?
Everywhere, silly.
Women are everywhere.
A cheap commodity, temporary.
Tem... By the way, I don't care if it's temporary or all these things you're saying to me.
All I care about right now is, why is my daughter getting divorced?
Why?
Why is all this happening to me?
Why?
I don't know.
I'm sorry, Mom.
And there I was wondering why your face was looking so dim.
But that's right.
That's what the face of a divorced woman looks like.
Tired and bitter, Ola.
What do I do?
What do I do now?
What do I do?
Oh, my God.
Oh, my bad luck.
My daughter.
The wife of Dr. Hisham.
No more.
Now she's Mrs. Nobody.
And what am I going to say to your brother?
How do I tell your Aunt Shukriya?
Oh, look, Ola.
Don't be scared, honey.
It's OK.
Listen to me.
You cannot live like this.
Why, Mom?
Am I missing an arm or a leg?
You're missing a man, dear.
You're missing a man.
Well, you're living without a man, and you're fine.
Fine?
What are you talking about?
What's fine?
Listen.
Listen, Ola.
Not another word.
I just want you to go quietly and silently and bring Hisham to me.
What do you mean, bring him to you?
Carry him in a sack or something?
If he doesn't want me anymore, I don't care.
It's not my fault, Mom.
So whose fault is it?
Mine?
My child.
Don't you know?
It's always the wife's fault.
Do something, Ola.
Just wake up and find a way to get him back.
Damn!
OK.
Listen, honey.
Just think.
Nice and easy.
Just think.
Haven't you got anything on him?
For instance, didn't he ever sign an IOU that we can threaten him with?
I don't know what you can do.
Just do something.
Pressure him.
Use the kids, the bills, anything.
Do you want to live and die alone?
Or marry a stranger who will end up killing your whole family?
Which is it?
I want to leave.
Leave?
Uh, yeah.
I have things to do.
I still have some bills to pay, then I gotta pick up the kids from school and bring them home.
Fine.
I'm coming too.
I'll go get some clothes to stay here with you until we can figure out this mess.
I really don't know what to do.
I just don't know.
You like it?
Hey, didn't I tell you I was going to make mombar?
Why did you guys go and get takeout for?
Grandma, I told you a hundred times I don't eat that whatchamacallit.
It's called mombar, my dear.
Mom, just let them eat whatever they want.
Thank God I have my sweet, sweet grandson.
He's inherited your dad's taste.
God rest his soul, your dad could eat 30 pounds of mombar all by himself.
When does dad come back?
Sweetie, never speak with your mouth full.
It's not right.
Hey, you, Zaina.
I'm sorry, sweetie.
I had to take all your things that were in the bed in Nadia's room because that's where I'm going to sleep.
I can't sleep next to Ola.
Her snoring is really bad.
Oh, that's right.
In fact, isn't your dad picking you up today?
No, Daddy isn't coming today.
He's busy.
He'll be in surgeries all night.
But I can sleep next to Nadia, right?
Mm-hmm.
Grandma, why don't you sleep with Salim?
I can't.
He's the man of the house.
He needs privacy.
Should I get you some hot mom bar, sweetie?
No, thanks.
Okay, people of the house.
I'm going to the bathroom.
Why can't you just say okay?
Agree with her.
That's how old people are.
You need to reassure them.
And saying okay will do that.
Well, you told me that you regretted doing that and that I shouldn't be like you.
You told me to argue with you and anyone who says things that don't make sense.
Right?
I did say that, actually.
I never said that.
Now, what do you want?
Where's Daddy?
Huh?
Where did he go?
Daddy's on a trip.
And what else?
What do you mean, what else?
He's away.
Listen.
I'm not a baby.
What does away mean?
Did you have an argument?
Or are you guys separated?
Or are you divorced?
Or are you consciously uncoupling?
Huh?
What was that last one you said?
I don't think I've heard of that type of trip before.
Conscious what?
Uncoupling, Mom.
It means conscious separation.
I heard it at school.
Most of my friends' parents are like that.
Most of your friends have parents who are consciously separated?
I don't know if it's conscious or unconscious, but... Daddy wants us to separate.
Listen, I'm really sorry.
I didn't want you to find out this way.
I said to him we need to tell the kids, but he said he wasn't ready and started analyzing his feelings or whatever.
I'm sorry, honey.
I understand you're angry.
Nothing is going to change for you guys.
Nothing is going to change, I swear.
Everything's going to change.
Someone's going to need an extra dose today, right?
Yep.
Yes?
Good morning, honey.
Good morning, Mom.
Drink this, sweetie.
What?
No, I haven't even had my coffee yet.
Even better.
This will not only quench your thirst, it will also fix things for you.
You know what?
Sheikh Hameda blessed himself with amu ad-wein and all of surat Haseen.
What?
Sheikh Hameda?
Why?
Well, just in case someone cast an evil spell on you or gave you the evil eye or something.
This will help you.
Come on, drink it, honey.
Come on.
No, Mom, stop it.
Please, come on.
Just listen to me, my child.
Stop it, Mom.
Why not?
Just listen.
Stop it, Mom.
Slow down my child.
I have a really long day today.
I need to get going.
It's going to be a great day.
Just take this and have a sip.
Actually, please.
Why not?
That's it, that's it.
Thank God.
Drive carefully.
Hi.
Want some?
No thanks.
Let's go in.
Come on.
Okay.
Just ask him to wait a little bit.
I'm in a meeting right now.
Are you sure?
Want some?
Okay, I'll call him back.
No.
Thank you.
I will.
Okay.
I've been trying to reach both of you for a while.
Clearly, the two of you are both too busy.
For your son.
Obviously, I can't give a definitive diagnosis.
I'm not a professional.
All children like to play games.
That's normal.
Among us, Fortnite.
You have to kill everyone in order to win.
But when a child becomes totally detached from society, that's a problem.
If we don't make an intervention with Salim … It's Salim.
Salim, if we don't make an intervention, he can be a serious threat to society.
On a small scale, the school, of course.
Uh, yes.
Well, that's not a big deal.
Why is he being so pushy?
Yeah?
Well... Ola.
I don't... How many did you take?
None of your business.
No.
Okay, thanks.
For example, last week, he missed an exam because he was playing a game in the bathroom.
And then he asked the teacher if he could reset the exam because he only had one life left.
Okay, well, as you already know, I work as a psychiatrist, and I think you're exaggerating a bit.
The truth is that his mother and I have split up.
We still haven't told the kids, of course, but my absence at home is seriously affecting them.
And Selim is just a sensitive kid.
Mm, that's what I thought.
But anyway, folks, all this stuff is really old school.
I mean, today, married couples are a minority.
Most students in my class have parents that are consciously uncoupled, and they're just fine.
So I'm the only one who doesn't know this, Jen?
Right, yes, Camelia, but in all seriousness, you can't deny the importance of a father's presence in his son's daily life, especially when he's at Salim's critical age.
So it's extremely important, isn't it?
Help me out, woman.
Be a peacemaker.
We're on the same side here.
Huh?
You agree, right?
Well, you guys, I'm really sorry, but the school can interfere with personal issues of the family.
But anyway, I strongly advise you to pay attention to Salim.
Salim.
OK.
And also, doctor, I'm sure you can find some specialists to help him.
Yeah, sure.
Sure.
Thank you so much.
Both of you.
I really have a busy schedule today.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Goodbye, guys.
Have a good day.
Come on.
Yes.
Now ask that pushy guy to come in, please.
So what are we going to do now?
Nothing.
She's really making a big deal out of nothing, you know.
But I can talk to Sharif and take the boy to see him once or twice to be sure.
You actually think this is a good solution, Hisham?
For real?
Sharif, who?
Didn't you just hear what happened to your son because of your absence?
Not to mention my poor Nadia.
She just learned what happened.
So Nadia knows?
Nadia figured it out on her own.
I told her it was true.
I'm not lying to my daughter.
You're not lying to your daughter?
No!
Didn't we have an agreement?
Didn't we agree to talk to them together?
Did I agree?
No, I didn't agree on anything, Hisham.
You decided that.
Just like you decided we're getting divorced, and you never even thought about the kids.
This divorce isn't just about us.
I don't think about my kids.
No, you don't.
Me.
You don't.
Well, I'm working all day, that's why.
What's your excuse?
What do you do all day?
You're busy orchestrating your idea of the perfect family.
And if anyone fails to meet your expectations or goes off script, you just put them on trial.
Right.
You know something?
You're totally toxic.
Yeah?
Toxic!
Uh-huh.
Fine.
Tell me that I'm toxic, then walk away, Hisham.
Just say it and walk away.
That's so typical.
It's so typical of you to jump ship when it's sinking, right?
But unlike you, I keep going, Hisham.
I keep going.
And I'm telling you right now, if I don't make you pay for all this... I'll be damned.
What?
Oh, Marwan.
Hello, Zaina.
Are you going with Daddy or us?
With us.
Let's find the others.
Bye.
Hey, Watts, what are you all looking at?
Didn't you hear?
I'm sure you all did.
That's right.
I got divorced.
All I got divorced?
Oh, poor girl.
All I got divorced?
You're kidding!
Of course you're all better than me.
You're all bravo, bravo.
You might get cheated on, but you'd never get dumped.
Me, on the other hand, I got dumped.
Divorced.
Why?
I don't know.
Up until this day, I still don't know why.
Are you filming or typing?
Or are you sending a message to that private WhatsApp group that you guys removed me from thinking that I'm too dumb to even notice?
Go on, keep typing.
Here, I'll just give you enough material for the next two years.
Toxic.
What does that mean?
It means difficult or something like that.
Listen, he isn't wrong.
You really are difficult, Ola.
So where do you think I got it from?
Not me.
OK, but still, it's not appropriate to say something like that in public.
You're right about that.
But you know what, Ola?
Just allow him to let off steam.
By the way, your dad was just like that.
He kept it all bottled up, then he would go crazy, and then come back as if nothing had happened.
But Hisham isn't coming back, Mom.
He won't.
You know what's bothering me the most?
That he's actually right about some things.
How could I be so oblivious to what was going on in my house?
Where was I?
Anyway, whatever energy I have left in me is barely enough for me to take care of Salim.
I'm sorry about today, Ola.
I shouldn't have said those things.
Nadia might be old enough to understand, but Salim's situation is really tricky.
Please don't tell him anything before we can do it together.
I hope you haven't told him already.
Can we all meet on Friday?
And I'll tell him?
Sorry again.
Please forgive me.
You became a star after what you did today, mommy.
I'm just relieved you're not angry with your crazy mother.
Of course I'm not angry.
I'm actually proud.
You know what we call that WhatsApp group?
What?
The mummy group.
The mummies.
They've been mummified with Botox.
Mummies, mommies, good one.
That's a good name for them.
It's true.
Well, it's all his fault.
He should have never talked to you like that.
You know, I'm on your side.
It's not a war, Nadia.
We're not forcing you guys to take any sides.
Get it?
Do you really want to be on my side?
Go check on your brother.
I told him that the bundle is expired so he won't flip out.
Come check on me if I'm gone too long.
Promise?
I can't promise.
Mummies.
Well, I might as well see how it's going on with that other mummy.
The Mona Lisa.
She blocked me.
She actually blocked me.
You blocked me, Nazli?
I can't believe this.
His status is divorced.
That fast, Hisham?
How could you, Hisham?
And what's with all these red hearts?
What's with all these flirty comments?
Oh my God, Hisham.
And they're all women.
They're all women.
I'm glad you're finally free.
I can change my status too.
Nisrin Shafik is online.
Hola?
Nisrin!
How are you?
I can't believe my ears.
Did you call by mistake or are you keeping a secret from Hisham?
Are you okay?
Yes.
I'm not okay.
Hisham left me, Nisreen.
I'm getting divorced.
That's the best news I've ever heard.
Congratulations, Ms.
Abdul-Sabur.
Wait, come here.
Zuzu, stay with me.
Good girl.
See?
Nisreen Shafiq.
My friend.
She was my friend.
Until Hisham told me to stay away from her.
Anyway, Nisreen, where are you?
So are you back in Egypt or what?
I'm back now.
Do you know that my dad passed away some time ago?
Really?
I'm sorry, I know I didn't know that.
But tell me, when did that happen?
Two years ago.
But hey, I inherited a fortune, so I came back to spend it all in my hometown instead of somewhere else.
You're always the fun one.
I know I am.
Unlike some other people.
Anyway, we need to see each other so we can celebrate.
Celebrate?
I said I'm getting divorced.
Here I am, I can't even sleep in the kiss of school in the morning.
Drop them off and then let's meet.
I have to celebrate your divorce as such a big deal.
Great.
Bye.
Miss Lin, I'm glad you're here again.
And when wasn't I, silly goose?
I've missed you.
I'll be waiting for you.
This will stay on for half an hour.
Half an hour?
Okay.
Thanks.
The first step after a divorce is to dye your hair and get a new haircut.
It's a fact.
You can ask anyone.
Honestly, I was sure this marriage wouldn't last.
I don't know how you were able to live with him.
He's so dull.
I told you so many times that this man sucks all the energy of the room.
He used to wear a dark blue jersey.
Does anyone still wear a dark blue jersey in the 21st century?
A dark blue jersey?
Of course not.
No one wears dark blue jerseys anymore.
Who would wear that?
I picked out the dark blue jersey for him.
You know what I'm really glad about, though?
You came out of all of this in perfectly good health and that your kids took from your side of the family, not his.
I guess you did have a point about this whole thing, Ms.
Dean.
But what I never understood is why the two of you could never stand each other.
I mean, why?
Why?
I never had a problem with him except that he didn't accept you for who you were.
He wanted to control you.
Quit the job.
Take care of the house.
Yes, sir.
Don't talk to Nasreen.
I think she's a bad influence on you.
Yes, sir.
But honestly, what ticked me off the most was your behavior.
You wouldn't object to anything he'd say.
You'd just obey his orders.
And by the way, you really think it was OK to cut ties with me without giving me any reasons?
Let me tell you something.
I didn't come today to see Ola Hisham's wife.
I actually hate her.
I'm not talking to her.
I came to see Ola Abdessabour, my old friend, because I really missed her.
Remember her?
I'm trying.
I'm trying to remember her.
Let him see that you still look after yourself.
Right, Mom.
I mean, what I really want him to see is that I'm moving on.
and that I'm fine now, that I'm actually happy on my own and that I don't care about him anymore.
I'm out of lotions.
I need to make a new batch.
That's the best thing you can do, because if you totally ignore him, he'll come back running like a... like a good husband.
A good husband?
Of course.
Grandma Sohair is right, though.
You should go there and make him feel like no one from the family even needs him.
Wow, someone's planning ahead.
And how will she do that?
I think you should be...
What's the word?
Oh, dressed to the nines.
How does she know this expression?
You just made my day.
Finally, something good came out of that mouth of yours.
Well, well, what a nice gathering.
Grandma and Zane are smiling at each other.
Did you get a haircut?
Why, yes, I did.
Don't you like it?
Is it that bad?
Sure, but we'll see if you even get noticed.
Get noticed by whom?
And for your information, I don't care if I get noticed or not.
I'm only going for your sake.
And I said I'm not going.
Did you really think I was kidding or something?
Besides, what else is he going to say?
I already know.
I'm sorry, Dudu.
You need to be stronger.
This is the best time to negotiate.
When Salma's parents got divorced, she got like two iPads and double her allowance.
Come on, girl, haven't you ever heard about emotional blackmail?
It's your chance now or never.
Emotional blackmail?
Right?
Zana's right.
Let's go hear him out.
Hear him out.
I'm not asking you to do anything.
Mommy, don't lie to me.
You're going because deep down you still have hope.
And what if she does?
So what?
Is that the bad thing?
Shame on you.
Instead, you should be pushing her to go there and grovel until he realizes he made a mistake and comes back.
Or at least to tie him up, bring him over, and force him to stay here for the rest of his life.
What's wrong with you?
What a generation.
You're going.
No.
Come here.
How are you doing?
I'm good.
I've missed you.
I'm watching you, by the way.
Your mother tells me everything you're doing at home.
How are you, Dudu?
I've missed you.
Well, get used to it.
How are you, Ola?
I'm fine, thanks for asking.
Well done, thanks.
I want a cheeseburger.
Make that two cheeseburgers.
But remember, burger gives you heartburn.
What do I care?
Seriously, what do I care?
Let him get heartburn or even reflux.
What the hell do I care at this point?
I heard they have excellent burgers here.
Really good.
Okay, kids, there's something I want to talk to you about.
Selim, I know you're old enough to understand what I'm gonna tell you.
Your mother and I won't be living together anymore.
We're separating.
Is it because of what I did at school?
Of course not, Limo.
Of course not.
This is grown-up stuff.
You'll get it when you grow up.
But... but where am I going to live?
With me, of course.
Both of you will live with me.
Don't be scared, Limo.
I'm right here.
Great job, you guys.
Buddy, you guys will stay with your mother, but you can come to my place on weekends.
And whenever you need me, I'll be there.
Nothing is going to change for you guys.
What?
Kids, could you let me talk to your mom alone for a minute, please?
Come on, help me out.
I'm unable to tell the boy he's gonna start therapy sessions, or why he has to go to therapy to begin with.
We're harming the kids this way.
I know I need to apologize to you for everything that's happened the past few days, but it's best to stay friends for the sake of the kids.
And if you ever need me, you know I'm there for you in every way I can.
No, you're not there, Hisham.
You're not.
You're not there to recharge the electricity card, or to fix the heater, or to help me with Nadia's hormones, or my mother's drama, or Salim's issue.
I'll have to handle it on my own.
Did you ask yourself how I'm going to manage?
Even financially?
What's even worse is that I still don't understand why.
Why?
Why are you leaving?
If you weren't happy with me, you could have said something, warned me.
If there's something that I could change, I would, but why leave me like that?
I told you a hundred times.
I told you, but you took me for granted.
You thought we had a dream life, and it is a dream life.
I'm sure it looks ideal, a stable home, a beautiful wife, two amazing children.
A job that pays well?
But what was happening inside?
Can you tell me?
Do you even know what I like?
Do you know what you even like about me?
I bet you can't answer that because I myself don't know anymore.
Actually, I know that perfectly well.
Okay, tell me.
I like that you... that... but... Hola, hola.
We became an image.
You're not really upset because I left.
You're upset because the image that you painted for us started to look a bit ugly.
Because Hisham was braver than you and said the truth.
I'm sure you don't have my heartburn medication.
Unfortunately, I haven't.
Limo!
Dudu!
The food is here.
Your new haircut looks beautiful.
You know, I've always wanted to sleep on the left side of the bed.
Oh, it's nice.
Much better here.
Dear God.
What do you want, Nasli?
What do you want?
Go to sleep, dear.
Good night.
How nice.
Look at all these shoes.
That's too many shoes, Hisham.
Are you Imelda Marcos?
Mommy, me and Daddy are going to Grandma Nosley's.
What are we having for lunch?
We're having zucchini.
Zucchini, sweetie.
You don't know what zucchini is.
See, I wasn't allowed to make it because Daddy doesn't like it.
But starting today, that's what we're eating.
We're going to roll in zucchini, all of us.
Now go.
Enjoy.
Bye.
Wait, hang on a second.
Come here, come here.
Come here.
We don't want the man to go barefoot now, do we?
Tell Daddy, Mommy says hi, she's thinking about you, and she's sending this bag full of shoes, okay?
Okay.
Okay, sweetie, bye.
No, wait!
Wait a second.
Here, Salim, take this, sweetie.
I almost forgot this.
Kiss Grandma Nazli for me.
Open the bag, will you?
Kiss her really hard for me, and tell her Mommy sent you this, because it belongs to you, okay?
And don't forget to tell Grandma I said hi, and that we're having zucchini.
Bye.
This will teach the woman to block me.
Whoa, the place is really crowded.
There's no available seat.
It's never been this empty.
Come on.
Let's find a place to sit.
You're supposed to shake your body when you pass through the dance floor.
Like that.
Dance.
I think I see a spot.
Just stay here.
There's only one chair.
I'll find a place to sit.
I'm going to sit down.
I'm tired.
What would you like to drink?
You know I don't drink.
I don't like to sit.
Oh my god, you're so boring.
Wait here.
I'll find a chair.
I want to leave.
Let me just ask those two women if I can have a chat.
Sure.
Don't get kidnapped while waiting.
Hi.
Yay!
Come on, I found a place.
Where?
Just come with me.
Where?
Come on.
No, we don't even know them.
Hi.
I'm Miss Dreen, and this is Ola.
Hi.
Akko Kuki.
Hi, Kuki.
Hi.
You guys come here often?
Yes, yes, we do.
All the time.
We love it here.
You've never been here before?
Oh, God, I really don't.
I bet you are both single, because you two look fun, beautiful, and happy.
Talk the truth.
Come on, Dupree.
People still get married.
Oh, sure.
They have these big expensive weddings and they get divorced 15 minutes later.
Yeah, remember?
Oh, yeah.
This boy gave her.
She's still in a shop.
Well, she's got divorced.
What?
Why?
Wow.
Congratulations.
Congratulations, honey.
Cheers.
That's so good for you.
Wow.
Freedom.
Sure.
Liberation.
Sure.
So what was it?
Was he beating you?
No, no.
He didn't beat me.
No.
Nothing like that.
Then he must be stingy.
No.
In all things, he's not.
Was he cheating on you then?
I don't think so.
He was definitely cheating on you.
See how funny they are?
He must be a modest boy, I'm sure.
See, that's the new trend.
Well, that one, you're right.
Yeah, you're right.
Yeah, exactly.
Like a baby in the crib.
But she's difficult.
Anyway, that's exactly why you should be very happy.
Exactly right.
That's what I'm saying.
Now you can actually begin to live your life.
Marriage is a contract between two parties, but only one of them gets the benefits while the other party doesn't get any benefits at all.
And the one getting the benefits is the one who gets to leave.
Right.
Why did you get divorced?
No, honey, I didn't get divorced.
What?
Of course not.
No, wait.
What happened?
He's dead.
Oh, my God.
Sorry, May.
He rested.
Sorry.
I used to love him so much, so much, and he used to adore me.
But the day he died, some woman showed up out of nowhere and told me she was his second wife.
So I was like, okay, I'm glad he's dead then.
Bye-bye, both of you.
And what did you do then?
We had a party!
Bravo!
Did you hear that?
What are you drinking?
She doesn't drink.
I've been trying to change her mind since we got here.
Help out!
You have to drink.
What do you mean?
Yes, you're going to drink.
You have to drink, Tristan!
So?
Come on, what are you having?
A black coffee.
No.
Maybe orange juice.
Okay, so I eat one orange juice
I want to see someone like you.
Your words are a disgrace to me.
I'm afraid of your power.
The doors are closed.
I'm going to die.
I don't want to die.
My life is not acceptable from inside.
The doors are closed.
I'm going to die.
I'm
I am from the ruins and you are my work No, I don't have a title, so wherever you meet me
I love you.
so so
