Sama?
Samsoumi, get up
Sama?
- "Episode 1" - Come on, darling!
Sama? Open your eyes
Samsoumi, come on get up!
Sama, get up you're late!
In the name of God!
Grandma? What's wrong? What is it? Your diabetes?
- Your blood pressure? - No!
- What is it then? - You're going to be late for work
It's six thirty
Oh God!
Grandma, I beg you good morning my love
How many times have I told you that I don't go to work at this time?
I go to work everyday at 11 o'clock
I don't wake up everyday
and you wake me up early everyday have mercy!
Excuse me, Miss Sama I bothered you
Go back to sleep
I'm going to pray
May your prayer be granted
You can't help it you will pop up even in my dreams?
It's the first time I see myself that way
It's okay
Come back my beautiful dream
My precious?
Sweetheart?
Sister!
What do you want, bro? What is it? What is it?
It's 6:35 don't you want to go to work?
No! Are you all messing with me?
- How many are we? - You and your grandma!
Oh!
Haven't you already understood that I don't go to work at this time?
I go to work at 11 o'clock
If you want to be nice and wake me up wake me up at 10:55, bro!
Or you won't even let me enjoy my dreams?
I swear you are right, sister
In this house, no one lets anyone enjoy their time
Come on, go back to sleep and sweet dreams
- Bye - Come here
Where are you going in the morning?
Your grandma woke me up at dawn
and told me to give the rent to the owner of the house
Is that possible? Is that possible?!
It's okay, sweetie it's okay
Go and give him the rent so that he doesn't come
and shout like he does every time
because this month if he comes near our house and becomes insolent
I swear I will grab him by the throat and won't let go before he dies
No problem bye
Go running to him!
It's over, they blew off my sleepiness it's done
Get up, Miss Cinderella
Get up to see how it will end up with this family
What is this? Damn it
What is this look?
Cinderella
Zombie is enough for me zombie!
Cinderella? I'm nowhere near that
I'm not someone who chases their dreams
and I don't believe in fairy tales
but I wish I would
I mean to say I believe in miracles
If for example my knight in shining armor appears in front of me
and who looks like the prince in the fairy tale
I won't say no
Then I might begin believing that dreams can come true
Why not? Life for me is full of surprises
I am sure of that
Sometimes one feels like he's suffocating
as if he lives in a deep well and can't get out
and suddenly he finds himself up as if between the clouds
That's why we have to believe in miracles
even on the hardest days
because sometimes when you say "It's over, I'm done"
a miracle could suddenly come knocking at your door
Truly believe!
Believe and you will see that a miracle could change your whole life
Believe me
I myself lived that miracle and my whole life changed in an instance
and suddenly changed to a tale like in the dreams
Why is breakfast not ready?
It will be ready in a minute, Mr. Malek
You are five minutes late
I want my assistant to prepare everything on time
Yes, sir
There you go
Let's talk about today's schedule
Shukri will be waiting for us after breakfast in the car
we're going to the company
Today we have a study about the concept of our stand in Batroun
and then we have a call with The Queen Limited and the associates
You have to give them an answer about the budget
Mr. Malek
Mr. Malek, your uncle's wife has called you four times today
and as per your instructions I didn't answer at all
Water
- Why is this coffee machine still here? - I didn't pursue the matter
because Mr. Rami didn't give me the approval for the new machine
Didn't I ask that you replace it with a new one?
- Please, just do what I say - Yes, sir
Good morning, Mr. Malek
What do I do about your uncle's wife Farida?
What is this?
What's wrong, Mr. Malek?
Why are these designs thrown like this?
When will you learn to respect our work?
Please, everybody should take good care of their work!
Understood?!
Mr. Malek, your uncle's wife is calling again
Mr. Malek?
He isn't answering he isn't answering, he isn't answering!
That is too much! This is disrespect, Sultan!
Sultan?
It's you?
Go!
Come!
Go and get Mr. Sultan
Come!
I will call him
Sultan!
I love this face and this agility and elegance
You know what? I like when you talk to me
that you are in your best look with no blemishes
I don't like if our meetings are not organized
That's my mood, I like that everything is fully accurate
Agreed, baby at your service
I'm thinking about going to the beach stay with me
To swim?
My heart
My heart is starting to beat rapidly
Imagine that you and I are swimming in the pool
and skin touches skin
Sultan!
Tani!
We have a complicated and big problem
Malek is not answering the phone
and I'm afraid that the marriage would not work
and that he doesn't go to the date
that I fixed for him with the girl that I convinced for him
I mean... That I chose for him
- Didn't he tell you he's going? - Yes, he said so
but I'm afraid because he's stupid
and I'm afraid that he changes his mind
Sultan, honey, if Malek doesn't go to the date, it's a disaster
Do you know what your father will do to us?
He will sell this house and the castle
and people then will criticize us
because I told them that this house and castle are ours
Everybody will be talking about us and they won't stop
and then I will get a stroke and a nervous breakdown!
- And? - Madam Farida!
What is it with you too?
- Mr. Adib is here - He's here?
- He's here! - Your father is here!
Oh God! Speak of the devil, you see?
We don't know what is going to happen
Calm down calm down!
Follow me, Follow me!
Back off, back off I will open, I will open
Welcome uncle!
Stop that nonsense! I came to say something
Did you find a bride for Malek or not?
- What to do... - Where are you going? Where?
You won't leave me by myself here go in, go in
Welcome, uncle!
Good morning to the best designer in the country
Welcome, Cyrine you seem calm today
Mallouki, you work nonstop come on now!
Life is short and beautiful
The weather outside is awesome
and summer is here and the birds are chirping
How about we go out?
Cyrine, I really want to ask you something
Do you think this is appropriate talk from an employee of mine?
Believe me, it's not
You're right you're right
but I'm in a good mood today
and that's why I'm expressing my feelings
Let's get back to work since that's all you think about
Please do
Uncle, I wish you knew how hard I'm trying about Malek's situation
but he's not cooperating he's stubborn and picky
I don't know who he resembles!
Yes, Farida is right
We are trying to get him married but he likes no one
- Shut up! Not a word! - Yes
Didn't you say you are his uncle and uncle's wife
who he loves and lays on your hands and listens to you?
Why haven't you gotten him married? Why?
If only he weren't boycotting me and doesn't visit me
and doesn't see me since the death of his parents
I wouldn't be needing you
but he is stubborn
He wouldn't take a dime from me
but he's a real man
He relied on himself and worked
and made something out of himself
He beat you both
Tell me what did you do
What were you doing?
I only gave you a simple task
Not for nothing, I just want to check up on him
and I want to see his children before I die
God forbid, uncle
And you two bargained with me for the castle
You bargained for the castle on the hill so that you do what I asked
I told you that I will give you the castle
but do this simple task for me
You couldn't do anything! You couldn't do it!
No more allowance and I will sell the castle!
What?!
- Uncle, please! - No, I will sell it!
Uncle, you just... Let me tell him
Uncle, calm down a little
When I just told you that it didn't work
that doesn't mean it didn't work at all
No, no, no! No, it will work
There are still many girls and young ladies
I will show them to Malek so that he marries them
Farida is right we will follow the plan
- we will get Malek married for sure - Yes
But dad, you should know that this matter needs planning and tactics and so on
Give us a chance!
Give us time!
A chance a chance
- Good morning! - Good morning, Mr. Rami
- Is Cyrinitta in her office? - No, she's at Mr. Malek's office
The design of the catalog will be awesome
Me and the girls have been working on it for a few days
and I'm thinking about doing it on the beach
What if you tell Rami to come so that I explain the concept better to you?
Hello!
I will repeat my entrance
Partner!
- Welcome, Rami - Cyrinitta, you look fabulous
like a perfect model as usual
Thank you for the compliment, Rami I got the message
Compliment? Who said that? I'm saying what I feel
That is not flattery it's a confession
Calm down, Rami calm down
and take a deep breath and sit down
We don't have time
We have to discuss work a bit before the meeting about the convention
Let's do that but please let's go out and eat after the meeting
because I'm starving
I can't I'm occupied today unfortunately
I have to do a task from Ms. Farida's tasks
She has forced me
Oh God, Mrs. Farida never leaves you alone
Don't believe when he says he's forced and bothered
He doesn't upset his uncle's wife he loves her so much
I know that you don't get along with her
but Mrs. Farida is very dear to Malek's heart
so be careful
Look at Rami!
Six months! I will give you six months
and not a day more
If you get him married that's fine
If you don't you will be on the street
No allowance and I will sell the castle
and I will throw you out of the house
I will disinherit you!
Uncle, please! Please! Please!
Drink your coffee we want nothing from you
Go to hell with your coffee and who drinks it with you!
You see? You see how he talks to us?
As if we're little children!
I'm sick of this I can't take it anymore
As if Malek wants to get married and he found the bride
and we're the ones who are denying him!
Enough! Enough! I will go down to the street now
and I will grab the first woman I see
and force him to marry her
even if she's not beautiful and not from our class!
Uncle Abu Fouad, calm down what's wrong?
You are a revered man and we respect you
and we are trying to satisfy you but enough!
Don't cross the line! You deafened me since the morning
talking about the debt and the rent nonstop
and I'm telling you that my brother left since the morning to give you the rent
And you're still repeating the same story enough!
No, it's not enough no one came and gave me the rent
and you haven't paid a dime since three months
No, that's too much you say three months?!
Uncle, are you forgetting things? Are you getting confused?
Because as I'm telling you
my brother at the beginning of each month leaves in the morning to give you the money!
- Doesn't he give it to you? - No, he doesn't
Damn! If he doesn't give it to you what is he doing with it?
And how would I know?!
Okay okay uncle Abu Fouad
excuse me I don't know what to say
I will talk to my brother and tell you what happened, okay?
Talk to whoever you want but you will get me the rent
- Okay - And if you don't pay this time
I will throw you out of the house
You have been staying at the house for a long time
without paying this low rent
What do you want better than this?
Okay uncle Abu Fouad but calm down
My grandma is here if she hears this conversation
her diabetes levels will go down and I'm a girl by herself
If her diabetes levels go down what will I do? I would be in trouble
I will fix this, okay? Bye uncle Abu Fouad!
Farewell, go with God love you!
Welcome, grandma, what? Why didn't you bring us a watermelon?
I didn't like them
Why haven't you gone yet?
Didn't you say you go at 11?
And you still haven't prepared yourself
That's what's missing now
That Ms. Cinderella be late for work
Cinderella? What has it got to do with you?
Farida, I'm not the problem Malek is the problem
he doesn't like any girl
and what's worse is that he isn't answering his phone
Enough! I'm desperate
Malek will never get married he wants to stay single
and we will lose the castle and the house
We will become homeless no money and no castle
No money?
So I can no longer do Botox or even fillers
and I can't go to the solarium, Sultan?
And no diamonds?
And no travel and no promenades and going out?
Do you know what that means?
It means that there is no more Farida
Do you know what it means if there is no more Farida?
How can there be no more Farida?
It's impossible that Farida is no more!
Listen Sultan, we have to stop your father from doing what he says
We have to go right now to Malek at the company
because he is not answering the phone
and he absolutely has to go to the date
that I fixed for him with the girl
Come!
Because if what your father said does happen then it's a problem...
Oh by the way, I'm Sama and this is my story
and today is the day when this story started
Of course I didn't know that
It's true that I saw myself as Cinderella in the dream
but when I got out to the street and faced the truth
I remembered that I'm only a waitress in a restaurant
An employee trying to get to her job
and if I don't get there on time my supervisor will scold me for sure
This simple waitress is me
Abdo
I ran till my last breath but the problem isn't the running
because I was already late
and after all that did I get there on time?
No, of course not
See what happened
Fettuccine, French fries and Caesar salad, okay?
Where were you till now?
Mr. Rida has been asking about you since the morning
Look, is he still here or is he gone?
No, he is gone
- Where were you? - I had a problem
My brother hasn't paid the rent for three months, imagine that!
The owner came to the house and started threatening and shouting
He said that we either pay the rent now or we leave the house
My grandma was close and could have heard him
I swear that if she had heard him she would have had a stroke
I tried so hard to convince him to calm down and leave
until I find a solution
And why isn't your brother paying?
I don't know why I don't know
We have no mother or father he is the big brother
He's supposed to take care of me and my grandma
but as you see he does nothing at all
He doesn't make a dime
I work all the time to earn the rent of that house
then he goes and wastes the money
What can I do?
And you know that I left college to work
I feel I'm going to suffocate!
It's okay stop it, Sama
- Positive energy - Positive energy
- I will go get dressed, okay? - Go
- Sama! - What?
Come, come, come!
Your crush is here come!
Rami?
Why didn't you tell me he's here since the morning?
I'm telling you now
I mean just so that I fix myself better
Look at how handsome he is and how tidy
- Sama! - Sir? Where were you?
I haven't seen you since the morning of course I won't see you
because I'm busy all the time I have orders since the morning
I am energetic I was energetic today
I told you he knows you were late
I hope you abide more by our work hours
and take better care of your looks
My looks? What about my looks?
Stop it!
Enough! Forget that now
Look how handsome he is
He's cute, no?
I don't know he looks a little arrogant
No, no, no!
On the contrary, he looks affectionate and modest
You're such an idiot! You're an idiot!
- You're the idiot - You're an idiot
- No, You're an idiot - You're the idiot
Risotto for Mr. Rami
I will take it I will!
- Mr. Rami, welcome - Thank you
- Risotto! - Thanks
Do you want anything else?
- A soda - A soda, okay
- With a slice of lemon - A slice of lemon
Okay
What?
- Enjoy your meal, Mr. Rami - Thank you
We are taking pictures for our regular customers
- the special ones of course - Of course the special ones
- Can we take your picture? - Yes, of course, come on
Excuse me
Sorry, come and take the picture with me
- Me? - Come on
- Okay - Come on
Thank you, Mr. Rami
A slice of lemon, right?
Perfect
- Hi, Malek! - Welcome, Mrs. Farida
- Hello, Malek - Welcome uncle
you light up the place welcome
- How are you? - Hi, dear
Welcome, dear You light up the place, welcome
I was going to play golf
and since it's near here I thought I'd give Farida a ride
Of course I had to come here
because I keep calling you and you're not answering
and there's an important matter we should discuss
Yes, if there's an important matter then of course Mrs. Farida
I'm listening go ahead, dear
So Malek, do you want to go today to the date with the girl or not?
I'm going, Mrs. Farida
I promised you you're welcome
Bravo!
I swear you will not regret it
Malek, they told me that the girl is well mannered
of a well known family educated, ambitious
cute, elegant graduated from the United States
which means she suits Malek Al Assaad
Hold on, Farida let me meet her
and then we will talk
Oh God, Malek!
Why do I always feel that you just go along with me in this matter?
I am bothered by this sitting position
can I sit there? This is not comfortable
Do as you wish, uncle consider it your office
Please, please don't just go along with me take it seriously
and I take it very seriously because I consider
that it's my son getting married
I want to get you married why do you always do this?
Enough! I'm mad at you!
Farida, you know how much I love you
and how dear you are to me
and after the death of my mother and father
you offered me so much and I don't forget that
and I don't refuse any of your demands
Then make me and your uncle happy and also your grandfather
Don't involve my grandfather in this!
No, no, she doesn't mean your grandfather or...
But... What were we talking about? His marriage?
Yes, of course Sultan we're talking about the marriage
so in a year or six months Malek should be married!
Farida, six months? I still have no one in my life
What do you mean by there's no one in your life?
Didn't you hear Farida?
We arranged a lunch date for you today with the girl
Every time we find you a girl you don't like her
Should we find a girl on demand to satisfy you?
Sultan, calm down a little
My dear Malek the girl is perfect
just give her a chance
believe me, you will like her
and you will be married in six months
God willing, I pray for that I pray for that, God willing!
I'm sweaty and I'm going to the restroom, okay?
Something good will happen
Yes
I love you so much my love, always come...
Welcome, Mrs. Farida
I am so glad that I saw you today
Do you say the same thing when you see yourself in the mirror?
Come, let me offer you something
What is it, Cyrine? Did you forget your place?
You are the guest and we are the owners of the company
Malek the son of my husband's brother owns the company
which means I am its owner
Please, don't forget, okay?
Mrs. Farida, all these things will change with time
I mean in the blink of an eye
you will find yourself the guest and I am the lady of the house
My darling!
Nothing will happen without my approval
Listen Cyrine, believe me
dreams don't always come true
and illusions kill the person
See you later
Are you leaving?
I would have liked to stay more to hear your nonsense
but you know what? We have work
I want to go down and see the employees of our company
if they are getting their salaries or not
if there are problems or not
Things you don't understand, honey
But Mrs. Farida, I consider myself one of the family
What?!
What?
I did not hear you
From the family
Is your last name Al Assaad?
Not right now
And not in the future my love
And not in the future
Go to work and let me do my work
Be careful that your blood pressure doesn't go down
See you later
Don't worry about the bride
- Scorpion - Snake
- Hi, Mr. Rami - How are you?
I surprised you, no?
Didn't you expect someone other than you sitting at your desk?
Of course not because there is no executive
who goes into his office and sees such a view!
Such a view? What about my look?
Is my hair in a mess?
Come on, you and your look and arrogance, get out!
Are you throwing me out?
I am Dany, the greatest and most important photographer in this country
you are throwing me out with your finger and so simply?
I am not only going out of your office but of the whole company
and I'm not going back until you apologize
Okay, okay, okay sorry, I apologize
but talk fast because I really have work
And I too did not come to have fun!
I am drowning in work!
Guess what model I am bringing you here
Of course you will not guess because you are dumb
but try to guess
- Mia? - No
- Nikita - No
- Alexandra - No
- Georgina - No
- Who? - Manolia!
- Yes! - No!
I got you!
And you're running and closing the door
that means there is something
Don't let me expose you!
Manolia was my ex-girlfriend
and things were great between us and we used to go out together
then I cheated on her with her friend
and then I cheated on her friend with her friend
so this won't work it won't work!
You cheated on her with her friend
and her friend cheated on her with... She...
Forget all that nonsense!
Love and cheating are one thing and work is another
We are professionals
It's done we made a deal with her
You made a deal with her? How did you do that?
She only works with high brands and her agent is so mean
I don't know how you convinced her
How did you convince her? How? How?
My dear, I am Dany
The snake... You know the snake?
I take it out of its nest
And she should be thankful for working with me
I am also high brand did you forget?
Okay Prepare yourself
because most probably Malek will say no
Malek said yes
- No - Yes
- No - Yes!
No
Yes
- Don't you have chocolate? - No
Shukri, wait for me I won't be long
He's here, he's here he's here!
- Hi - Welcome, Mr. Malek
- The reservation is in my name, right? - Of course, go ahead
your guest is waiting for you inside
Look! Amazing! Is there someone that handsome in real life?
- Hello - Hi!
- Malek - Naya or Nayouya
- I apologize for being late - Don't worry
I just got here I just arrived
My uncle's wife Farida told me a little about you
but she didn't tell me about your profession
- May I know? - Of course
I am very busy and at the same time I don't work at all
My life is like a full-time job all the time
You don't work but your life is full-time, how?
Exactly, that is me! I am a social media influencer
I have many followers and my whole life is busy
I go to fashion shows parties and so on
do you understand or...
Right, I now remembered where I saw your picture
I saw your picture on the magazines at our company
You have a picture with your boyfriend
No, I thought you recognized me because I'm famous
That story is very old
The last period in my life was very difficult
I kissed two or three "frogs"
Anyway, not one of them was my knight in shining armor
but Malek, come closer
I now feel that I am a hundred percent at the right place
do you understand or...
Okay
Because we are both very picky and we rarely do like something
can you imagine us going to festivals and events and parties together
and all the media is talking about us?
Wow, this is amazing
A flash from here a flash from there
we will always be on the spot I really can't wait for it
Naya, I don't know what to tell you
and I don't know where to start
but all these things don't matter to me
It doesn't matter to me how many followers you have and how people see you
- Do you hear what I'm saying? - Yes but...
I was telling you that it doesn't matter to me how many followers you have
and how people see you
I'm interested in the real thing
so that when I come into my house I feel it
Your clothes are telling me that you are the right woman
to be the lady of my house
but at the same time they're expensive
so you're sending me a message that money matters to you
Right!
And you chose your shoes with care it's my brand
You really saw it? I looked everywhere
I looked everywhere to find it!
- For this day? - Of course! Of course!
I don't fall for these things nor do they affect me
You are offering me a relationship as if you're offering me a job
I apologize to you
I can't believe it I really can't believe it
It's like we're having the first fight in our relationship
as if it's a serious relationship
Anyway, I just had an idea
How about we leave here and solve this matter outside, okay?
- You're joking of course - No, I'm serious!
You know my lifestyle I am always ready
My trunk is full of make-up and dresses and all that
Come on really!
Malek, you decide where we want to go
and we will go now, okay?
Hi, sorry for keeping you waiting there you go
You can eat and drink whatever you want, there you go
"Sama"
- Sama darling, I'm so sorry - Sama?
I apologize for putting you in this situation
Malek, what is going on?
Naya is my friend at work we just came here to have lunch
I would never cheat on you
Sorry but what are you saying? Maybe you...
Don't say a word
Please don't say anything that we might later regret
No! I don't understand anything!
I would never cheat on you you know how much I love you
Naya, I'm so sorry I apologize that this is happening
but it happened it happened and that's it
Bye
Just let me go outside and I will let you go
Can you calm down? Can you calm down and relax a little?
You are crazy! What do you want from me?
We don't offer such services at our restaurant
and what are you saying about dinner and love and so on?
I just wanted you to help me get rid of the girl inside
I apologize for the method
How cruel are you? Look at how sad and humiliated she is
And what do I have to do with it so that you use me?
