Chapter 50

Summary

• Fadi arrived home late, and the reason for his lateness was unclear.
• The couple had a quiet dinner, with minimal conversation.
• Fadi shared his plans about researching new business ideas and was optimistic about a fresh start.
• He reassured Yara that they had enough savings for him to open a new business.
• Yara, consumed by guilt and shame, was hesitant to discuss their financial status or inquire about any communication from Ramy due to her own actions.
• Fadi did not seem troubled by Yara's silence and appeared to prefer her current subdued state.
• Despite her quietness at dinner and her attempts to isolate her emotions, Yara was struggling internally with her sense of guilt and a desire to be numb.
• That night, Yara experienced a vivid dream about her childhood, which involved hearing her parents arguing fiercely in their house.
• During the dream, Yara felt helpless and responded by trying to drown out her parents' conflict with physical actions, like pulling the covers over herself.
• The dream suggested that Yara's deep-seated feelings of guilt and a sense of unworthiness stemmed from a childhood incident where she didn't intervene in her parents' altercation.
