However, the girl Nahid, who looks like Amina, sees him and orders him to return what he stole to Cohen. She wears Amina's clothes to impersonate her, in exchange for not exposing his crime. In Egypt, Nahid meets Amina's husband, pretending to be his wife. Amina's husband discovers the truth and fights with Burhan. In the fight, Enayat, Amina's husband's lover, is injured.
