[Scene 1: The Palace Entrance]
Ilyas stands outside, watching the protest unfold. Heba approaches him, concern etched on her face.
Heba: (softly) Ilyas, you seem distant. Is it about my cousin again?
Ilyas: (sighs) Yes, Heba. I can’t stand his laziness. It’s been unbearable since you were pregnant with Bahgat.
Heba: (gently) I know he can be frustrating, but he’s family. We need to support each other.
Ilyas: (frustrated) Support? He’s a burden! I’m fed up with his antics.
[Scene 2: Inside the Palace]
The atmosphere is tense as the masters' men arrive. Heba gathers everyone around.
Heba: (addressing the group) Everyone, please listen. These men are here to help us. Let’s treat them with respect, especially Sahab Hanem.
Masters' Man 1: (nodding) We appreciate your hospitality, but we need to address the situation firmly.
Heba: (firmly) No violence. It’s not good for Sahab’s pregnancy. We must handle this delicately.
[Scene 3: The Dining Hall]
Everyone sits down for lunch. Ayman, the new doorman, serves with precision.
Ayman: (confidently) I’ll ensure everything runs smoothly. You can count on me.
Masters' Man 2: (impressed) You’re sharp, Ayman. We need someone like you in these times.
[Scene 4: Sahab Hanem’s Room]
Sahab finds Noura Hanem lying on her bed, looking troubled.
Sahab: (concerned) Noura, are you alright? You seem unwell.
Noura: (sighs) It’s just the stress of everything. I worry about the protests and the baby.
Sahab: (reassuringly) We’ll get through this together. Just focus on your health for now.
[Scene 5: Outside the Palace]
Ilyas watches the protest from a distance, conflicted.
Ilyas: (to himself) How much longer can I tolerate this? It’s all too much.
The scene fades as the tension in the palace continues to build.
