Emotional Conversation About Relationships

Why didn't you come tell me you didn't want to continue and wanted to be with someone else?

Because I still want to be with you.

Even while I'm choosing to be with her.

God, Khalil.

You want me to believe a woman agreed to a marriage that would be secret for two years because you feared for

my feelings.

Yeah.

And an ex-wife didn't need to know because she'd lose custody of her daughter.

Yeah, right. That's even more believable.

Do I know her?

One of our friends.

No, just...

She's young.

No.

But she's pretty, right?

Don't go there.

You'd come sleep with her out of obligation so I wouldn't feel that anything had changed.

Of course not. What are you saying?

You want her.

Do you still enjoy being with me?

Yeah.

But you enjoy being with her more.

That's one thing, this is another.

You'd be with her and me on the same day.

Her scent would be on your body, and there I was.

What makes you any different from a prostitute who sleeps with several men in the same night?

Just because you signed a paper, you get to do it lawfully.

I know you're trying to hurt me, and I deserve that.

But you're putting yourself down, so enough, Nora.

Who is she?

Maybe you haven't met her before, but you know her.

Mai.

Mai.

All I know is that this story is from 15 years ago, not two years ago.

We started seeing each other again

after Malak's surgery.

I thought it was a one-time thing, and I stayed away.

But fate made us meet

again. As if

the world was pushing us toward each other.

Maybe this wasn't supposed to happen, but I found myself getting closer.

And I tried to stay away.

I'm trying to make things right with you after what happened.

What's important to me is that you believe I never wanted or intended to

hurt you.

No, as long as you didn't mean it, then it's really okay, Salim.

Nora, where are you going?

I'm going because you're done talking.

I just want to hear you.

I want to know how you feel.

And I want to sleep.

Good night.
