Ashtar

With her parents neglecting her, Umm Mounir (Mounir's mother) is the only one looking after Ishtar, as she tries to secure a living for her poor granddaughter.

Umm Mounir writes over the house to Ishtar. Meanwhile, Journalist Momtaz wages a war against Ne'ima, a woman rights activist, for preaching what she doesn't practice as she neglects her own daughter.

Fearing that her husband might leave her, Ne'ima travels with him, with a growing sense of guilt towards her daughter culminating. Meanwhile, Ragha ruins Rola's engagement.

As Ishtar passes her high-school exams, she applies for post-high school studies at an institute where she meets Tahseen and befriends Nermine.

Ishtar's growing infatuation with Dr. Ramez is shortlived as she learns that Nermine also has a crush on him. It turns out that Ramez only wanted to wed Nermine because of her father's fortune.

As Tahseen tries to hint at his feelings for Ishtar, she doesn't reciprocate his feelings. She still fancies Ramez, who clearly wants to take advantage of her naivete.
