I'm not the best listener, nor I give the best advice, still for some reason Ines opened up to me in a way I never thought it was possible, And being me, of course I blew that up..

When she asked me how Eliyas and I made up I could only say after much thinking:

_" Your brother and I were lacking in every way when we first married, but we were too prideful to admit that, when we met again after a long time, only then we had the courage to try to fix our imperfections, because we both knew that that was truly our last chance either to stay or to leave, I guess once you realize you can possibly lose everything for good, you start acting more different and more impulsive."

For an unknown reason, after I said these words, Ines surprisingly informed me:

_" It was I who tried to lure Akrem first, isn't that funny? otherwise, he wouldn't have looked at me in the first place.."

And yes, that came out of her mouth all at sudden just like this, and she said it to me, her dearly hated sister in-law.

The expression of my face must have looked quite funny yet she didn't mind it at all, she simply took a deep breath, then continued:

_" It was more of a game at the beginning, a collegemate of mine showed me a video of a press conference which Akrem held representing the Filladi co, all the comments below were full of admirations to him, even this collegemate asked me about him and how was he like in real life, I never noticed him before, I only noticed him then, so the next time we met I looked at him with admiration but he didn't even bother being affected by my whole existence, My vanity as a woman was hurt, I was beautiful and better than him in many ways I thought, yet he was acting arrogant ignoring me, it's silly isn't it? Just because of this I did all I could to attract his attention although I had not a single emotion towards him nor I wanted more with him, you know how mother looks down on him so I never wanted anything serious, then when Azziz came to my life I simply abandoned Akrem like he was nothing."

She stopped talking, looked at me carefully, maybe she was expecting me to say a word or two at this point, but I didn't, so she just continued:

_" When Azziz was in jail and I was acting like a fool trying to get him out of there Akrem asked to meet me one day, although he knew I only toyed with him before he still handed me a memory card behind Eliyas's back and he asked me to check its content first then make a better judgment, that I deserved to live better days than what I was going through, even then I still looked down on him, and called him the worst of things, only when I went home I discovered that the memory card was full of pictures and chat screenshots to prove Azziz's real face, I had another boyfriend and it was him again who saved the thoughtless me, and I humiliated him yet another time, it's not my intention to act like this, but every time he does something good to me I choke in guilt and I act like that to push him away, then when I had to choose someone to marry, Although I knew he was the better man, I still chose Nadir because Nadir was everyone else's better choice, I lost Akrem for good that night.. I know that.. But I can't help regretting it, I don't want him to go but I can't choose him either."

Once she finished talking, I truly came to realize I'm the last person she could discuss such twisted feelings with because I'm a righteous person, and being a righteous person I felt the need to honestly say to her:

_" Look, unless you come to a definite decision you better not drag other people along with you, what you're doing is just sick, people around you deserve their share of happiness just as much as you think you do, If you're planning to just let them suffer with you for no reason then you better let them all go."

_" It's my mistake for talking to you in the first place! You have no heart!" She yelled at me once I finished talking and threw her dirty tissues on me.
