Amal notices Adel's disappearance but does not know what has happened until one of Adel's friends finds him and tells her. Adel and Ferdoos fly to Lebanon together for a few dancing and singing scenes in various touristic settings. After Adel and Ferdoos return from Lebanon, Ferdoos is obliged to go back to hustling men to meet her expenses, for which Adel is not prepared.
