Nour and Maysoun have spent the morning together and Noor is happier than she has been since she arrived in this house. So she says something warm. بتعرفي عمتي، لو كان عندك ولد، أكيد كنت أم عظيمة.
Maysoun's face changes.
She cannot have children. حكمة الله. And then, quietly, the part she has never said out loud: صرت عم بستحي قول لطارق نروح على الدكتور، لأني بعرف إنه العطل مني. Noor tries to repair it, medicine is advancing, they find something new every day, and Maysoun says she thinks that time has passed.
Out on the street, Muhannad waves down a taxi that does not stop, then calls Anwar, who is not on the boat. He is on the bridge.
And in the garden, Sharifa is cutting roses when Noor comes out. بعدك زعلانة؟ Noor says no. بس أنا زعلانة. Your behaviour was vulgar. From now on you will carry yourself like a woman of this family, لازم تتصرفي بأكابرية، وإلا رح تفضحينا.
I explain تغيّر وجهها, العطل منّي, حكمة الله, الوقت فات, بأكابرية, and رح تفضحينا.
Next episode: three fish, a bottle of arak, and a man watching them.
