for him, and ghazal had Musaad in hers, while leen was fantasizing over the guy
she meet while she was waiting in line in a restaurant, and layan waiting for that
special guy who will come to her lie the right way since she didn’t believe in
love before marriage, 2 hours later it was 7:30 they were ready and were going
