Tahani was shocked by her father's request.
Tahani - upset: "Dad? How can you ask to see me like this?"
Her father - interrupting: "Do you see how hard it is for me to see you as my daughter? Do you think you will be able to walk naked in front of people in the future? Haven’t you thought that I might see you or that our relatives might see your pictures published in magazines and on TV? Do you think this field is easy and you will be able to continue in it? Don’t you hear about the difficulties in the fashion world and how they are treated harshly? They are forced to travel all year round, stay up all night, refrain from eating, and they are put on strict diets. The competition among models is fierce, to the point that some of them become addicted to dangerous and illegal drugs, and some even commit suicide due to the pressure of work. Often, we hear about a model who was killed in a mysterious way, and no one thinks to investigate the cause of her death.
Do you know why? Because to them, they are just mannequins for display, nothing more, not human beings of flesh and blood!"
Tahani was shocked by her father's words about the unfortunate reality that celebrities and fashion enthusiasts face in the fashion world. She was pleased with his clever way of preventing her from modeling because he didn’t oppose her dream directly or use violence, as some families do with their daughters.

And "Tota Tota"…
The idea of becoming a model faded from Tahani's mind…
Forever…
