Your weeping over the loss of my brother has not stopped since I was a child.

I feel that the days of my life will come to an end.

Before you finish weeping over Yusuf. It is not wise to keep crying, my daughter. May Allah compensate you with eleven sons.

But I am not crying, my son. O Benjamin, I am crying for the Prophet through whom all my hopes will be fulfilled.

And I will not stop crying for him until this separation ends, for an unknown period.

What is the reason you chose Yuzarsif?

To be the supervisor of the palace, which is a serious responsibility that requires an experienced man with long expertise.

Yousersif was managing the affairs of the palace.

Since Hunifer became bedridden with illness.

For me, he is an experienced supervisor and a wise advisor.

I have not seen an advisor more knowledgeable than him.

Advisor? That means I can consult Yousersif whenever I find it necessary.

May Allah grant His servant eternal rest.

Which god, do you think, is the one that the director Yuzarsif means?

Do you want something from me? Lady Zuleikha is asking for you to come to her.

You go, I will follow you.

Why is Kisin crying? I don't know, sir director, he never stops crying.

What happened? What should I say?

There are people who know more about this than I do. He stopped crying, not me.

Ask him yourself. How can a nursing infant speak? Thank you, honorable Yousarasef.

May the gods protect you with their protection.

I don't think he believes in our gods and our creed.

Yousarasef says that the gods who need others to tie their trousers for them,

cannot protect Yousarasef or anyone else, is that correct? You have become a disbeliever, Nimisabu. What is this talk you are saying? Did I say that? Me, me, I didn't say anything.

This is not my statement at all, I said that Yuzarsif said it.

That's right. Can the gods protect anyone?

The honorable Yuzarsif is at the door asking to enter.

Will he enter your mouth, while you stay outside.

Long live Lady Zuleikha.

I envy my honorable husband Potiphar because he can benefit from having a wise and trustworthy advisor like you, dear Yasha.

As for me, my abilities are limited. I don't recall a single time when the lady summoned me and I didn't come and obey her orders.

In the past, you used to check on us more often.

But for some time now, the stars have become easier to reach than you. But now I am on the surface of the earth and in the hands of Lady Zuleikha. I am listening to everything you say.

It's alright, I won't waste any more of the live broadcast's time.

Sit down so I can explain to you.

There is a noble woman from the elite of the city of Thebes who has betrayed her husband.

I only found out about this a short while ago. I was very upset.

In your opinion, what is the ruling on this woman? And to be more precise, how would Yusuf have judged this woman?

I need to know more details in order to give a ruling. For example, was her betrayal of her husband in public?

Do you see her openly committing her sin, or is she ashamed that her matter has been exposed?

Is she a free woman or an enslaved maid?

Does she have children or not? Does.

Did this woman's husband love her and draw close to her, or did he reject her and neglect her?

Did her husband spend on her, clothing and feeding her, or was he stingy and miserly towards her?

I need to know what religion this woman follows, and other such questions.

All these questions just for one ruling? It's not for nothing that Potiphar lets you in on his affairs and consults you.

I cannot issue a correct ruling unless the answers to these questions become clear, along with a few other questions.

I do not know the answer to any of these difficult questions.

All I knew is that she is in love.

Do not befriend, madam. Love is sacred, and the one in love does not know betrayal.

When the heart falls in love, reason and logic disappear.

Whoever loves impurity has no way to the sanctuary of the pure and sacred heart.

A whim cannot be called love.

Tell me, O Yusraseef.

Tell me, have you ever loved?

Anyone before?

Yes. And who is it?

The beloved is the one whose love led me to the One who alone is worthy of worship.

He is my father.

Who allowed you to enter? Is this an animal pen?

Excuse me, madam, excuse me.

She was forbidden, but she did not understand.

She loves you very much, and she sees herself as the one who protects your privacy, otherwise.

When she entered upon you without asking permission.

Leave her aside. I have a question, and you are not obliged to answer it.

Has anyone ever showered you with kindness?

Out of their love and affection.

Yes, I have gained nothing from the love of those around me and their affection except hardship and torment.

An exceptional aunt, my aunt used to show great attachment to me.

This stirred up my brothers' resentment, and they began to envy me.

As for my father's love for me.

It led me to the bottom of the well.

And then to captivity and the pain of separation. No, no, I don't mean your family and relatives, rather I'm asking about women's affection toward you.

Never, madam.

Sometimes they look at me, and I am bothered by the weight of their gazes, but I pay them no attention.

That's enough for now.

You may leave. I will inquire about that woman in love.

And if necessary, I will consult you again.

I am hurt by the poverty of their looks towards me, but I pay them no attention.

Has something bad happened, my lady? He forgot that he is one of my slaves. He speaks to me indirectly to let me know that he doesn't care about my love for him.

He is right. There is no better answer than this for a noblewoman whose heart is attached to the love of her slave. We shall see.

He has fallen from my eyes, and I will not care about him anymore, not even an atom's weight. Why don't you expel him from the palace completely? In fact, why don't you banish him from the land? Even against Potiphar's will?

And are you unaware of how attached he is to him?

Considering this matter, your choice is the right one.

By not caring. You must immediately start preparing for a loud and grand party.

I must immerse myself in fun and amusement.

Yusuf does not care about me at all.

And I will distract my mind and heart from remembering him with other things.

Until I am free from loving him and being attached to him.

I have organized this party in your honor, so that you may have a good time.

I want you to have fun and enjoy your time. This family has started to disbelieve in our gods.

They are insulting the god Amun. Her husband, the military commander, struck the temple.

I think our hostess Zuleikha is involved with her Hebrew servant.

People say that a handsome Hebrew youth is living with her.

You still harbor resentment in your heart against the chief Potiphar, even after all these years. Potiphar once disciplined your husband.

And now you are working to tarnish your wife's reputation. From your laughter, it seems to me that you did not believe what I said.

We also heard things about her, but believing what we heard is difficult for us. It's all right.

It's all right for you. Then trust me. You are right. May I ask a question to my lady Zuleikha?

Ask, but make sure the question is not about the old conflict between the temple and the palace.

No, rather the question is about your Canaanite servant.

And what do you want to know about him? Nothing.

I just wanted to know where he is, and what he is doing now. I looked around the place and did not find him.

Did you come here to offer hospitality, or to spy and sneak a look?

Or did Khama and Badiamun send you here to bring them news?

This food is for you, please help yourselves. It is for you, please go ahead.

Why are you so upset? It's just that we heard things about him, so we wanted to see for ourselves.

If I were in Lady Zuleikha's place, I would have locked this handsome boy behind a thousand closed doors and hidden him from the eyes of Egypt's prying women out of fear for him.

And where is he now? Call him so we can see him.

Did you see? I told you.

If I weren't right, she wouldn't be this upset. Is she really involved with that Hebrew boy?

You are nothing like the descendants of the noble and the great.

You are more like the shepherds from Sham and Canaan, like us.

With the inheritance of the ancient Egyptian civilization.

What about you? What a protruding neck.

I have looked for you a lot. Why are you sitting here in the dark?

I want to be alone. And what about the guests?

Let the gods of fire pour their torment upon them, let them go to the west. You must return to the palace.

Do you know what things he says about you in your absence?

They corrupt the thoughts of the others.

Everything that happens to me is because of Yusuf.

I must erase his memory and his thoughts from the page of my imagination.

Or erase his very self from the page of existence.

Do you mean that you can erase the honorable Yousersif from your life?

That would mean I have to kill him. No.

That I can do that. Then you have to exile him far away, and that's difficult for you.

With Potiphar present, that's also not possible.

After Gunefer's departure, he will not agree to let go of the one who manages his palace.

Are you going on a trip? No doubt.

Being away from him for a while will erase all thoughts about him from your mind.

Get ready so we can go on a trip to Memphis, Delta, and the Nile River.

Since I cannot take Yusuf away from this place.

I will leave the palace for a while.

Nimesabo.

Go and collect from the clothing warehouse whatever clothes you need.

And take as much as you need of grains and legumes from the food storage.

Master Yousersif, we will always remain grateful to you. If you had not extended a helping hand to us, we would still be living in those cold and damp barns.

May the gods protect you with their protection. Go back to your mother.

If the gods were able, they would have saved you from what you are in.

And this slight change that happened was by the blessing of the god.

For the gods.

Which god do you think he means by his words?

I will explain it to you later. My God.

Yusuf has no power except through You.

No one has any power without You. My God and my Lord.

Do not leave Your servant Yusuf to himself for even the blink of an eye. Whenever the angel of revelation is delayed for me, my chest feels tight.

And I felt a bit of loneliness.

She is Zuleikha, the wife of the Aziz of Egypt. How beautiful she is.

Throw the oars into the water.

We will set off immediately.

It is a wonderful place. I have accompanied you here more than once, but I never get tired of it.

I don't know why the place seems.

The place is gloomy and sad this time. It was more beautiful and wonderful in the past.

Give it here.

My lady, a big pearl.

Look, my lady, how big this pearl is.

It is beautiful.

There were days when you used to be delighted to see a pearl like this, but now.

Back then, I had not seen anyone more beautiful than the pearls.

Zuleikha, my daughter, what is wrong? You don't seem happy to me.

I thought that being away from him would give me peace and tranquility.

But it seems that. that separation and abandonment.

Are much harder than the pain of being near him.

It's only been a few days since you left, you will forget him little by little. As time passes, he only becomes more present in my thoughts and imagination.

I'm afraid I will go mad.

I want a ship to return.

I beg you to agree to stay a few more days, and if it doesn't work out.

We will return to Taybah immediately, so everyone get ready.

Everyone to your places, go up, come on.

My lady, do you still want to wander around the palace?

The palace, just so you can look at Yusuf with longing? I will not be at ease until I deceive Yusuf.

For my desire and will.

You must help me with this matter.

I will never hesitate to do anything that pleases my lady and satisfies her. No one should find out what we are going to do. I will keep your secret, but.

What if Yuzarsif remains stubborn and does not obey?

I will kill him.

I welcome the return of our beautiful lady from her trip.

Thank you very much, my lady. I hope you enjoyed it.

It was a good trip. Welcome back, madam.

Thank you, Yuzarsif.

The honorable Yuzarsif.

Lady Zuleikha is in her palace, waiting for you to go to her.

Yuzarsif is requesting permission to enter.

Long live Lady Zuleikha. Once again, I welcome the lady back from her journey to the palace.

I hope it was a journey filled with happy times. Thank you, Zarssif.

It was good. I wanted you to give me a report on the state of the palace and all the matters and measures taken during my absence.

No major measures were taken except for the work of disinfecting and cleaning the sections of the palace and its surroundings.

Also, some parts of the night shelter for the slaves and servants were renovated and rebuilt.

The clothes and uniforms of the palace workers were also changed, in addition to maintenance of the food stores and other tasks, a report of which will be submitted to you later.

All this work was done during the short time I was away? I did no more than what my job requires, madam. Your efforts are truly worthy of thanks and appreciation.

So, as a token of gratitude.

I want to present you with this pearl, which the palace divers retrieved from the bottom of the Nile during our last journey.

I consider managing the affairs of the palace my duty, and I will always be grateful for your kindness and the kindness of the esteemed Potiphar.

Take it, it is yours.

Thank you, my lady.

I do not know if you avoid looking at my face out of respect or out of indifference.

No, madam. The obedient servant must be humble and ashamed when standing before his Lord and masters. Why were you not like this before?

In the past, I was a child, and children rarely master the manners of servitude.

But I prefer the spontaneity and innocence of childhood days over the manners and respect you show me in your youth.

Every era requires certain manners.

Yusuf learned to be polite with others and to show them respect, and you will see nothing else from me.

Sit here. I want to look at your face for a while.

You are reminded of the days of your childhood when I used to take care of you.

And I looked after you. Excuse me, madam, I still have some unfinished work.

And if the lady allows me, I would like to leave now.

As you wish.

You may go.

I do not know if Yusuf, by what he said, meant you or meant his god.

Do you see? Do you see how cunning and sweet-tongued he was?

He claims that his arrogance and lack of concern are a form of humility.

Wherever he wants to go, he will be in my grasp.

What is it, your highness? Do you need something from me? What's going on? Did you enjoy the trip on the Nile? Yes, and no at the same time.

It was a good trip as long as Lady Zuleikha was laughing and talking.

But when she got angry and her mood worsened, we would mock her secretly.

Take Rod Amun with you and go to the market. Sell this pearl there and buy whatever carpets and blankets the slaves and palace servants need.

Did the lady think of this pearl as a gift? Yes, but it is of no use to me.

It is a valuable gift, you should keep it.

I don't need it, take it. By the way.

What happened that you returned so quickly? That we returned?

We were forced to return. I don't know what happened. Maybe Lady Zuleikha missed seeing the honorable Potiphar, her dear husband.

Watch what happens carefully. Keep an eye on Mama, don't let her out of your sight.

If anything happens, let me know.

Did something bad happen? I'm very worried.

Danger surrounds us.

Someone is plotting a wicked plan to trap me. They will all fail. Who are these people?

We must seek refuge with Allah, the Exalted, and turn to Him for protection from the schemes of rebellious women.

So, it's a story of love, isn't it?

Listen to me carefully, you can't blame someone who is in love with the honorable Yusuf. I understand her; she is not at fault at all for this love and passion.

Rather, Yusuf, the captor of hearts, is the one at fault. Enough, Nimi Sabouh.

I am serious in what I say, don't people have the right to fall in love with the beauty you possess?

My beauty is like a bird with a beautiful voice, whose sweet melodies led it to be captured and caged so its captors could enjoy it.

But a bird that cannot sing sweet melodies remains free, flying wherever it wishes, not fearing being captured or imprisoned.

Alright, listen to me carefully, if there were gods capable of anything, I would have gone to them and prayed to them for your sake, but it seems to me that your God.

Is more powerful than all our gods? Yes, my God is the All-Powerful.

So do not let doubt enter your heart about that, but.

But I don't know why I have been left alone for so long.

No revelation and no message, no vision and no inspiration.

I feel like I have become suspended between the heavens and the earths.

How much the son of Adam needs a rope to hold onto when dangers and hardships crowd in.

And how much he needs a refuge to seek protection in from the plots of enemies.

I wish my father was with me.

He is the most knowledgeable among people in turning the plots back against those who devised them.

My lady.

Didn't I say I want to be alone? Yusuf is with the high-ranking Potiphar. This is a good opportunity if you want to see him.

The mirror. Give me the mirror.
