...but only if you're up for it.

What are the rules like?

Easily broken...

So you get my poetry.

The chance to drown your sorrows.

What do I get?

I thought I was enough.

"I seek the truth that

pierces the darkest night..."

"I seek the devotion

I surrendered in your stead..."

"I have known the virtue

that surrender proffers..."

"But I seek that heaven

for which I have bled."

Is this supposed to be good?

I don't get it...

Didn't you say he was world famous?

He is...

People really admire his work...

And you?

You're awkward.

A little...

You can leave, if you like...

And leave you alone with him?

No way...

I'm dying to meet your ex-husband.

How come?

Just...

- Tahir...

- Hi...

Your Facebook tells me

too many things have changed...

Like the colour of your walls...

...and the claim to your heart...

Ayan.

Fantastic work, sir!

Sir? Really... Sir?!

Are you trying to

make me sound old?

By the way, he doesn't

call you ma'am does he?

- You think?!

- I don't know!

So you're the one...

who's keeping her up at night...

Why waste time on sleep?

Sleep is critical...

for her to dream about me?

Oh, now I definitely

won't let her sleep.

I can't see this...

Change of topic!

Besides, you've fulfilled

your dreams...

Your new work is very interesting.

Actually, fantastic!

Without a lover in his arms,

what else is a man to do...

- Do you guys rehearse these lines?

- No, totally natural!

Ah, Natural...

People often shroud

their fear with words...

Our relationship

may have changed...

...but the fear remains.

Why did it change...

If I may ask?

Maybe you should

be asking the person...

...whose nights are now yours...

People often falter...

...on the slippery slopes

of relationships...

Yeah.

You could have shown

me a better way...

Let the one who is lost.

Find his own way...

I hate you.

A little... no, a lot.

Such hatred... so soon?

Give me a chance...

Hating you is

completely justified...

Because I still love Saba...

I gave your love a chance...

It's time for you to

give my friendship a chance.

Isn't that hard?

- What?

To love someone...

who doesn't love you in return?

It's the most beautiful

feeling in the world...

- Doesn't it make you feel weak?

- Not at all.

There's nothing like

the power of unrequited love...

Unlike other bonds,

It isn't shared...

It's mine...

and mine alone.

For a love like this,

I don't need Saba to love her...

There's no better love than that...

"If you gamble in

the name of love..."

Stake whatever you put,

Not to fear?

"How wonderful if you win..."

"Even if you lose...

all is not lost."

Don't hang up!

Hello?

Hello?

Sh*t!

- Hello?

- Ayan!

Where the hell are you?!

I've been trying to call you forever!

- You blocked my number!

What did you think I'd do?

Walk you down the aisle?

Did you marry him?

Yeah... I did.

Congratulations!

Now you're Mrs. DJ Ali!

Must be stuck on

him like headphones...

Ayan, stop your crap

before I hang up.

Hello!

You don't scare me!

Control yourself!

I have a girlfriend now.

She's really hot!

- And she writes poetry...

- You'll never get it!

Are you jealous?

- I think you're jealous.

No. Dude...

I'm just really glad you called.

I'm so happy!

I have to go back

to my dinner date now...

- Candlelit... Romantic!

Ayan, listen...

I really missed you.

I hate you.

Okay...

But I missed you...

Bye.

'This is Saba... My girlfriend.'

'Wow... '

'What's she doing with you?!'

'She's gorgeous!'

'Yeah, way better than you.'

- 'Like it's a competition!'

- 'Of course it is!'

'is DJ Ali still handsome

or did my curses work?'

'My prayers worked!'

'Are you happy?'

'Yeah... I'm happy.'

'Feels like I'm finally

a part of Ali's life...'

'Our lives are wrapped in luggage...'

'And hotel rooms are home... '

'But it's nice.'

'There's the occasional

dark cloud...'

'But other than that,

the sun is always shining.'

'I'm really, really happy.'

'I hate you.'

'I'm coming to Vienna!'

'What plans?'

'I'm very busy...'

'Meetings, appointments...'

'Shuddap! You're free!'

'Okay, I am!'

'Saba and I would

love to host you...'

'...but leave that DJ Ali behind.'

'He has a concert.

Anyway... I'll be there!'

- Hi!

- Hi!

You're dying to wait

by the window...

Check if she called...

Walk around restlessly...

You're not fooling

anyone with this pose...

What? Me? Why?

I'm totally chill...

I'm cool!

Someone's at the door...

Go... She's here.

Hi!

Nam.

Hi... Cold outside?

What are you doing?

Didn't bring any wine?

Flowers? Thorns? Nothing?

Should I have?

Saba!

Alizeh.

Welcome home...

- So Alizeh...

- So nice to meet you...

Heard so much about you...

All good things, I hope!

What?

No... just... trying to

ease the tension!

Get a hold on yourself...

The 'tension' will disappear?

Come...

- You know how girls can be!

- Sexist remark...

- Not appreciated!

- Not at all!

Give our intelligence its due!

Wine?

Maybe later...

Oh, okay...

But, Saba...

Beauty like yours often

overshadows intelligence...

Ask those of us who

live off our personality...

Beauty fades, Alizeh...

But Death, himself,

can't kill personality...

Wow... So the poetry

really was yours!

I thought Ayan was just

copying it off the internet!

If it weren't for poetry...

...I'd have died a thousand

living deaths already...

Cheese?

Will I sound phony

if I praise you some more?

Not at all...

Please go ahead...

No judgments!

Pictures do you no justice...

You're even more

beautiful in person.

Oh, so those pictures

were to show you...

To make her jealous...

...but why waste

envy on the resentful?

Wow, Ayan...

Saba, looks like you've

had an influence...

A little bit of it...

A little bit to go.

Well. It's not envy...

But you can't sing

to a mute person...

...and expect them

not to feel inferior!

Speaking of singing...

This is my favorite song...

"O lover, don't ask me

to love like I did before..."

O lover, don't ask me...

To love like I did before.

Dinner?

Bread?

Why didn't you bring Ali?

He had a concert... 50...

DJ Ali's super busy, you see...

Why do you keep calling him that?

Like it's an insult...

Not at all!..

Who doesn't dream of making

people dance on their fingertips?

Alizeh, may I ask

you something personal?

If you don't mind...

Sure...

How did you not fall in love

with someone so charming?

Charming for you, maybe...

He was a big baby

when I met him...

He cried on the streets,

cried in my arms...

Really?!

Ayan... Is this a compliment

or a slight?

You've never cried in my arms...

How could I cry in your arms...

...when I'm so distracted by

my other feelings...

You got lucky. Ayan!

Saba's wonderful.

Anyway.

- Thank you for dinner.

- Go to hell?

'Thank you for dinner'?!

You're soulless!

Don't you have any feelings?!

Not jealousy. Not guilt...

- Nothing?!

- I feel everything, Ayan!

But you'd never

understand if I told you...

You'd just misconstrue it all!
