==Plot==

Saman and Aiman are sisters who belong to a lower-middle-class family. Aiman the elder sister is kind, polite, and deeply respects her elders; Saman, who is younger than Aiman, is overambitious and believes she can give ''maat'' (defeat) to anyone at any time. There cousin Faisal is enchanted with Saman's beauty and, despite his engagement to Aiman, proposes to Saman. She refuses, but his improving financial status changes her mind.

The marriage is uneasy due to Saman's demanding nature, but the couple have a son, whom they name Hadid. Saman can barely handle her child, so Aiman takes on the role of caretaker. Saman begins an affair with Faisal's business partner, Azar, who is richer than her husband. After an incident where Saman's attitude towards her mother-in-law leads Faisal to slap her, Saman files for divorce.

Around the same time, Azar breaks his partnership with Faisal. Leaving her family heartbroken, Saman enjoys her wealthy life with her new husband. Meanwhile, Aiman's mother and aunt decide to get Faisal and Aiman married so that Hadid will have a maternal figure in his life.

Twenty-five years later, Faisal has established a new factory and become a wealthy and successful businessman. Hadid has now grown up to be a successful 27-year-old bachelor. Unknown to Aiman, Faisal has begun an affair with Saman, again, after Azar's death. Faisal decides to end his marriage to Aiman and offers her a Apartment and monthly retainer so she won't need anything financially. He also lies to Aiman about Hadid wanting Saman back which causes a heartbroken Aiman to leave. Meanwhile, Saman remarries Faisal. Hadid, later discovers that Aiman has left and that Saman only returned because Azar has died. He reacts with outrage and accuses Saman of returning only because her former life is gone. He disowns her as well as his father. Hadid later brings Aiman home, although she is resistant at first, she realizes her adopted son was never at fault and his refusal to be a part of Faisal's plan is what delayed it for so long.

Four years later, Hadid has a wife and son with Aiman living with them. She receives a call from Saman, who apologizes on her and Faisal's behalf, having grown tired of their isolation. Aiman forgives them, but reminds Saman their misery was of her own making. With this, she hangs up, happy with the knowledge she finally gave ''maat'' to Saman, after all.
