Scene 1
On his first day at work at the travel
agency, Asim sat behind his new desk,
deeply immersed in learning the details
of his job. During the lunch break, Rina
approached him with a shy smile.
Rana:
"How are you finding the work so far? I
hope it's not too overwhelming."
Asim:
"On the contrary, it seems really
interesting. And I'm happy to be part of
such a great team."
They exchanged a few more words, then
Rana took out her phone and said:
"I think I'll need your phone number in
case we need to coordinate or exchange
information."
Asim handed her his number, feeling a
clear attraction between them, but he
hesitated to express his feelings.

Scene 2
In his room, Gaith sat in front of his
phone, hesitating. He felt regret over his
previous post and the damage it had
caused. After some deep thought, he
decided to post an apology on the "Hand
Note" app:
"To everyone I have wronged with my
last post, I sincerely apologize. It was an
irresponsible act on my part, and I
promise to be a better person."
He felt a sense of relief after posting, but
he knew that regaining others' trust
would take more than just words.

Scene 3
In Director Hatem's office, Colonel Irfan
entered in his official military uniform.
They exchanged military salutes before
the colonel sat down and said:
"Mr. Hatem, I've heard about the issue
with student Nabgh failing five subjects.
I believe you know who is behind this."
Hatem:
"Yes, we have evidence suggesting one
of the teachers tampered with the
results, but the situation is complex."
Irfan:
"I want to hear the full truth. In return, I
promise the guilty party will face the
consequences."
Hatem:
"I'll tell you everything I know. Nabgh is a
remarkable student, and what happened
to him wasn't a coincidence."
The colonel nodded, ready to intervene to
ensure justice for Nabgh.

Scene 4
As Nabgh was leaving school, he noticed
Fatina sitting on a bench by the street,
crying bitterly. He approached her gently
and asked:
"Why are you crying? Can I help you?"
Fatina looked up, her voice shaking as
she replied:
"It's Taghreed... She ruined my life. She
used me and mistreated me until I
couldn't take it anymore."
Nabgh was shocked and asked her:
"Taghreed? Is she the same Taghreed
who destroyed my brother Asim's life?"
Fatina nodded, which made Nabgh feel a
surge of anger, but he decided to stay
calm and learn more.

Scene 5
Sheikh Noor had just left the mosque
after prayer when a bearded man stood
in front of him with a stern look. He
approached and said:
"Peace be upon you, Sheikh Noor. We
need men like you in our group. Think
about it."
Noor:
"I appreciate the offer, but I'm not
interested in joining. I have my own
mission."
The sheikh smiled and continued on his
way, but the man, named okasha, looked
at him with hatred and said in a low
voice:
"You'll regret this decision soon."

Scene 6
In the school courtyard, Yaman stood
smoking a cigarette calmly. Rajee
approached him and said quietly:
"Yaman, I know you're behind Nabgh's
failure. Was it some kind of revenge
because of what happened between you
two?"
Yaman looked at him angrily and said:
"Don't accuse me of something without
evidence! What happened to Nabgh has
nothing to do with me, now get out of my
sight."
Rajee walked away, feeling suspicious,
while Yaman remained tense, knowing
that his secret could soon be revealed.

Scene 7
In her cell, Taghreed sat crying when one
of the guards came in to inform her that
someone wanted to see her. She looked
at him in surprise and said:
"Who wants to visit me?"
In the visiting room, she was shocked to
see a man in a formal suit. He introduced
himself saying:
"I am lawyer Naeem Zahir. I've heard
about your case, and I want to help you."
Taghreed responded in disbelief:
"Why would you help me? Aren't you the
one who got banned from 'Pic Nook'?"
Naeem smiled and said:
"I'll consider that part of the past. My
concern now is your justice, but I need
your full cooperation."
Taghreed felt a glimmer of hope, but she
couldn't fully trust him yet.
