External narrator
They were all surprised by what Khalil had just said each of them was impatient and curious to know what he had decided so everyone was staring at him intensely so that he could get out what he had to say
Khalil: I am aware that for the balance of a child he needs to have two parents, he needs to have a stable home and we must avoid lugging him around
Yasmine: Can you be a little clearer please?
Nabila's heart was jumping in all directions in her chest, she was afraid of what stupidity he could come out of, she didn't want him to say what she thought
Khalil: for the sake and tranquility of our son I would like to wipe the slate clean, I ask your forgiveness for having hurt you, for having treated you as I did, I would like you to forgive me for all the harm i've caused you
She was so happy and shocked to see how much the man she was in love with had changed overnight, how fatherhood had pushed him to mature, she even catches herself regretting having him. hiding the truth all this time she felt so guilty
Khalil: I want to forget your deception and that we become a couple again to offer a family to our son, I would like to ask your family's permission to bring you home if you want it of course
Nabila was heartbroken by what he had just said, she realized that she had had illusions and that this man hadn't changed, he was just doing it for his son, not because he wanted him. loved or believed in her innocence, until now he believed her guilty of such a despicable act which made her really angry and increased her rage towards him
Nabila getting up: it's out of the question for me to go back with you
Razak: you're going to go back down and calm down right away, don't shame us, it's because of this kind of behavior that your husband kicked you out of his house, who told you that when a man speaks women must also speak?
Aziz: no, give him the opportunity to express himself too
Nabila starting to cry with rage: it's out of the question, I'll never go back to you if you think I was able to deceive you, when I met you I gave you everything my body and my love, I loved you despite everything that opposed us, I did everything to make our couple work, if you think I could have cheated on you, it's because you and I have nothing to do together, I I'm not going back to you to punish me every day for something I didn't do, to inflict your anger on me every day, no I don't want an environment like that for my child
Razak: in addition to being a cheating wife, you are a liar, you were caught on the facts but you continue to lie, you are a shame for this family
Nabila: you can think what you want I don't give a damn, anyway I'm not from your family and everyone knows it so you don't have to worry I won't get dirty the image of your 'perfect" little family
Razak rising: you dare to answer me?
He raises his hands to slap her but Khalil barely holds him back before he slaps his wife.
Khalil: as long as she is my wife I will never let anyone touch her even worse in front of me
The two men gave each other angry looks, until Aziz intervened and separated them.
Yasmine who was silent until now was so ashamed and over to see her family tearing up so much before her eyes
Yasmine with tears in her eyes: how dare you behave like wild animals in front of our guests, you disappoint me so much
Aziz: I think we're going to have to ask for the road, tempers have heated up, in addition Nabila can take her time, think and give an answer later
Khalil: you're right, we'll ask for directions
They get up and leave, leaving Yasmine's little family in the living room, she gets up and looks at them and leaves without saying a word.
Razak taking Nabila by the arm: are you crazy or what? you will return to your husband
Nabila: never, I will not do it
Razak: are you crazy? have you thought about your aunt? you want them to ask us to return the money they invested in the company? you want to see aunt in the street right? you will have his death on your conscience get ready
Yasmine entering the living room: but what are you talking about…
She doesn't have time to finish her sentence when she collapses on the ground, they rush to her and take her to the hospital...
They were waiting in the waiting room, she felt so guilty for what had just happened, she was so scared for her aunt, the minutes felt like hours, they were still sitting in the waiting room when the doctor comes to warn them that Yasmine was awake and trying to see Nabila, she gets up and goes to the room where her aunt was like an automaton
When she arrives she sits on a chair next to her aunt's bed before taking her hands in hers?
Nabila: is my aunt better?
Yasmine: Is it true what I understood from your discussion? your uncle really sold you for money? you told me otherwise, why did you cover it up? Why ?
Nabila: it is however the truth, my uncle has nothing to do with it, you just misunderstood
Yasmine getting angry: how dare you lie to me so brazenly looking me straight in the eye? How? 'Or' What ?
Nabila: calm down my aunt, please...
Yasmine: you will hurry to tell me the whole truth, if not know that you will no longer have an aunt, you tell me the truth or you leave here and never come back
Nabila hesitated for a moment then decided to tell her the whole truth, she was sure of one thing and that was that she was not going to lose her aunt's love and affection for Razak, a man who never had her. never accepted and always did everything to show him
Yasmine after listening carefully to her niece's story: so it's because of me you had to go through all this hell, right?
Nabila: don't say her my aunt, it's rather thanks to all that that I met a wonderful man who loved me like crazy, a man who gave me the best gift that can exist
Yasmine: tell me the truth, do you love your husband?
Nabila: I'm not going to deny it, I'm still in love with him, since all this time I've been living in a kind of denial, I still find it hard to believe how much this caring and loving man could turn into this that it is because of a simple misunderstanding, even if I still do not take off my heart always beats for him my aunt
Yasmine: so what do you plan to do now? he is ready to give your couple another chance for your child, what do you think?
Nabila: I think he was quite reasonable, if I stay away from him it will be difficult for him to create a bond with his son, I already feel quite guilty for having separated them all this time, I will give him a chance to get closer to his son, I'm going to move in with him, just until they get used to each other and I'll go back to my place
Yasmine: So you're not considering giving your husband another chance?
Nabila: no, it's not in my plans, I've tasted freedom and I've acquired a taste for it, it's out of the question for me to lock myself in a relationship with a possessive, jealous man who is incapable to control oneself
Yasmine: Are you sure you can handle the fact that he gets together with another woman?
Nabila: I don't see what's stopping me from going with another man so he can do what he wants with his life as long as it doesn't affect our child
Yasmine: soubahanallayi… stop saying things like that, you are a married woman
Nabila giggling: I'm no longer because he repudiated me, so I'm free to do what I want
Yasmine: I really hope that you will forgive me for finding yourself in such a situation through my fault
Nabila: I have nothing to forgive you my aunt, my life would have been so tasteless without Khalil if you knew
Yasmine: I hope that God will change you, that he will take away all this ego that you carry so that you get back together because your husband is madly in love with you and it is obvious
Nabila giggling: allow me to doubt my aunt
Nabila stays there, chatted for a moment with her aunt before returning to get her son and going to see Khalil, when she arrives at the residence, she immediately leaves to meet Adja
Nabila: hello my adja
Adja turning around: my daughter, you are there!!! you missed me so much
Nabila: I also missed you a lot, you know?
Adja: where have you been all this time? you didn't even bother to give any news
Nabila: I'm really sorry but I was so hurt by Khalil that all I wanted was to get away from him and everyone who was close to him, if I hadn't met Abdel a few days ago I don't think I'll be back and I think it really would have been the biggest mistake of my life
What she didn't know was that Khalil was behind the door and heard everything, but this one all he cared about was the presence of his wife and son the rest didn't matter.
Adja: the main thing is that you had the courage to fix things, Khalil is in his office, do you want to go see him?
Nabila: yes, I came to see him
Khalil bursting into the room: how long have you been there? I didn't expect to see you here today
Nabila: we just arrived, can I talk to you a bit?
He asks her to follow her and leads her to his office.
Khalil: I guess you came to give me an answer to my proposal and I hope your answer will be positive
Nabila: of course, I accept your proposal
Khalil overjoyed: I'm really glad you made that choice
Nabila: don't rejoice too quickly, I have one condition
Khalil: whatever you want, all you have to do is ask
Nabila: I would like you to understand very well that I am not here to get back in a relationship with you, I will stay here just until you get used to your son and I will go back home, I do what I want of my life and the same for you too
Khalil: what do you mean by that? explain to me better what you are trying to tell me
Nabila: what I'm trying to tell you is that you won't have the right to interfere in my private life, I can put myself in a relationship with another if I wish since there's nothing left between us
Khalil (trying not to show his anger): How can you ask me such a thing? do you forget that we are still married? how do you want me to let my wife go with another man than me?
Nabila: don't forget that you repudiated me, I am no longer your wife
Khalil: we remain legally married so you remain my wife do not forget it, do not tempt the devil
Nabila: it's just a piece of paper and we can make sure to remove this constraint from our lives; take it or leave it
He was so angry hearing what was coming out of the mouth of the young woman in front of him, he was so amazed to see the calm and coldness she emanated from her eyes, this sweet woman who melted his heart was she the same one who spoke to him at this moment? he wondered where his Boo had gone, despite all this anger and confusion he felt he knew very well that it was not the time to go to war with him it will come down to putting more distance between him and his son, he had no choice but to accept at least for now…
