  Ines Filladi always knew that she should never marry a man that she liked more than he liked her, because her brother's failing marriage gave her the trauma of her life.

  There isn't a single person in the Filladi's close circle of acquaintances who failed to notice how infatuated Eliyas is about his wife, whenever Noursine was in his surrounding, his eyes would always carefully watch her every little movement, if he was spotted spacing out while looking at something in the far distance, it was unnecessary to curiously follow his gaze and see what he was looking at, since most certainly, a little sun kissed woman with a long dark hair would be standing at that faraway spot.

Since everyone could tell, and even those who poorly knew Eliyas, how come Noursine still had no idea and acted indifferent towards him?? Ines found only one explanation for this: that Noursine truly had not a single emotion nor care for Eliyas, therefore, he was only wasting his life on an undeserving woman.

She remembers clearly the first year of her brother's marriage because it affected her judgement for the longest of time, if examples should be given as to why the one shouldn't marry when he's in a state of unrequited love, then it should be this incident..

On a certain day, Eliyas who rarely ever gave Ines any time or consideration, suddenly asked her to join him at his bureau because he wanted to talk with her, initially she thought the matter had to do with her, so she felt both excited and nervous as she made her way towards his bureau, when arriving there though she felt very disappointed to know eventually that he only wanted her for a matter related to Noursine, mainly, he wanted her help to select a gift for his wife, however, she still felt warmth inside her heart seeing that her brother finally asked her help with something in this lifetime.

_" what do you think she likes?" Ines asked her somewhat nervous brother.

He gave her question a lot of thinking before he just replied:

_" I don't know.."

At this point, she realized that if she was to wait for him to make any suggestion, then half a life would pass without him saying a word, therefore she conveniently suggested:

_" how about you give her a piece of jewelry? I don't think she has any except for the ones you gave her for her dowry, if she feels you're ready to spend more money on her .. Maybe she will be happier with you."

_" she's not that type of person, she doesn't like to spend much." Eliyas quickly corrected his sister.. Then giving her suggestion little thinking he added:

_" maybe I should indeed buy her a bracelet, that time at your birthday party she had no jewelry on her.. But she had a bracelet though, maybe she likes them."

It took Ines a considerable length of time to finally recall that Noursine was indeed a guest to one of her birthday parties, this happened long years before after all, to see that her brother even remembers what his wife wore back then she was very impressed, still, she didn't dare comment on this, and only gave him names of certain known jewelry shops, she later accompanied him to a number of them to help him choose a suitable gift for his wife.

To her surprise, Eliyas came very prepared, he even had a picture of the bracelet Noursine wore a couple of years earlier and wanted to find something a little similar to it, after a long search they finally agreed on a simple white gold bracelet with little diamonds on it, as a reward for her help, Ines was gifted an ornament of her choice.

Since this satisfied sister was responsible for selecting the gift and she's a person who loves surprises by nature, She felt curious to know Noursine's reaction, so for the following days, she kept a close eye on her sister in-law and watched her behavior around Eliyas, her expectation was that Noursine would be happier and warmer, much to her disappointment and anger, not only the distance between the couple seemed to grow bigger, Noursine suddenly started spending more time outside the villa and she often skipped the family meals.
