Giulia: leaning against the fridge, arms crossed "Remember in hiigh school, you promised we'd go to uni together? Wh-what happened?"
Giulia! You wouldn't believe the last mess I got into... you look at each other
Giulia: steps closer, furrowing her brows Look, mlateen, I don't care what kind of mess you got yourself into, but I'm worried.
worried you said.... tell me why... I can only imagine what you must be thinking of me right now. I feel so ashamed
grabs mlateen's shoulders firmly Ashamed? No, mlateen, you don't understand. I've been waiting for this moment.
looks down, biting her lip Waiting for you to fail, mlateen. Because that's when I knew I could step in and show you that I'm the one who truly cares about your future.
reaches out and holds mlateen's hand Look, I've always seen your potential, mlateen.
Your always so kind to me when I feel so ashamed I feel like I don’t deserve you.. your such a good person
squeezes mlateen's hand gently Don't ever think that you don't deserve me, mlateen. You are so much more than what you think.
gently strokes mlateen's cheek It's okay, mlateen. Mistakes happen. But now that you're here, with me, let's face the future together.
do you really think I should give up on my future?
pauses, looking conflicted No, mlateen, I don't want you to give up on your future. But maybe... just maybe, we can find a way to make it work.
when you say we… you mean…
takes a deep breath, looking determined I mean, mlateen, that I'm willing to stand by you, no matter what happens.
Giulia and mlateen go on to build a successful career together, proving their strength as a team and overcoming many obstacles along the way.
The year is quickly approaching, your parents are going to expect you to be married by 23, how do you feel about that?
sits up straight, a mischievous glint in her eyes Oh, mlateen, you underestimate my resourcefulness. I have a plan.
pulls out a folder and starts flipping through its pages Okay, so here's what we're gonna do.
points at the documents First, we're going to create a fake identification document for mlateen.
grins mischievously We'll come up with a new name for you, something completely different.
