00:00I am Suhaila Mohamed Ahmad Nasr, Palestinian, and I have an Egyptian passport.
00:14When we came to the Emirates, there were four of us.
00:19My older brother and I were three girls.
00:22Then my younger sister was born here in the Emirates.
00:25My father was the only one who worked.
00:28At that time, the salary was between 3,000 and 4,000 pounds.
00:33It was a lot of money.
00:35We learned how to earn that salary.
00:38I started looking for a job.
00:41I found a job at a company, a company owned by the Badri family.
00:46I worked there for a year as their secretary.
00:48It was a new company, and we were the first people to work there.
00:51Thank God, I passed.
00:53Then he said, no, I will transfer you to Eros, the mother company.
00:56You will work there.
00:58I started at the service center as a coordinator.
01:00I worked there for eight years.
01:02Thank God, it was very good.
01:08Suhaila joined the company in 2004.
01:11She was in the customer service department.
01:14In 2012, I was looking for someone in my department.
01:20I had enough information about her.
01:23She was a hard-working employee, committed to her job.
01:27In addition, she was studying in the fourth stage of the law department.
01:34I thought I would improve her ability to work with me.
01:43When I got married, I stayed for a year.
01:46I had no children.
01:48I went to the doctor for a check-up.
01:50I had some pregnancy problems.
01:52I was being treated.
01:54Suddenly, she said, you are pregnant.
01:57What? I am pregnant? I can't believe it.
01:59I said, no, I am not pregnant.
02:01She said, no, you are pregnant.
02:03She did the test and showed it to me.
02:05I couldn't believe it.
02:07I took the test again to make sure I was pregnant.
02:11She confirmed that I was pregnant.
02:13I prayed and thanked God.
02:1580% of the time, I don't have time to have children.
02:19Thank God, this was the first gift from God.
02:23Malik came to me.
02:25Malik was born monogamous.
02:31Malik is one year old.
02:33I had an accident.
02:35I fell and broke my leg.
02:37I am expecting my second child in August.
02:39I went to the hospital.
02:41I stayed there for three months.
02:44I was born monogamous.
02:46A week later, the doctors decided to operate on my leg.
02:51It was very difficult.
02:53I had a small child next to me.
02:55Malik was far away from me.
02:57I stayed in the hospital for three months.
02:59I only saw Malik twice or three times.
03:03When I left the hospital and stayed at home,
03:06I felt Malik change.
03:08He doesn't talk at all.
03:10He doesn't say anything.
03:12He doesn't look at me like he used to.
03:14I took him to the doctor.
03:16He was the only one who said,
03:18your son is monogamous.
03:20I was shocked.
03:22I felt that it was time.
03:24I was tired.
03:26I wanted to stay with the kids.
03:28When I told them, they said,
03:30we want to transfer you to the employees.
03:32We won't let you leave.
03:34I haven't seen you for eight years.
03:36Everything is fine.
03:38The work is going well.
03:40I want to stay with them.
03:42Maybe because of the circumstances
03:44that I went through,
03:46it was all a little bit difficult.
03:48No one could bear it.
03:50I have a broken leg.
03:52I have a small child.
03:54I have a child who is monogamous.
03:56I have a job.
03:58I have responsibilities at home.
04:00My father passed away.
04:02My mother became very sick.
04:04My mother became very sick.
04:10I'm sorry.
04:14I'm sorry.
04:18I'm sorry.
04:22Maybe because of that,
04:24I'm still working.
04:26I'm a superwoman.
04:28I endured it.
04:30I'm a superwoman.
04:38One of her nicknames is Suheila.
04:40Super Suheila.
04:42Why did I give her that name?
04:44Because she endured
04:46tough circumstances
04:48and also
04:50the pressure of work.
04:52That's why I call her Super Suheila.
04:54Everyone in the EROS group
04:56calls her Super Suheila.
05:00I consider my mother a heroine
05:02because she helps us
05:04no matter what
05:06difficult circumstances she goes through.
05:08She still loves us
05:10and helps us.
05:14The way you deal with people
05:16is your life.
05:18It's what will come back to you,
05:20whether it's good or bad.
05:22That's life.
05:24I can't imagine living
05:26a longer period
05:28outside of the UAE.
05:30I can't imagine emigrating.
05:32My life is here.
05:34This is my country.
05:36We love you.
05:38We love you.
05:40We love you.
