00:00As Dato said, we have reached this stage in a good way. We are still friends for the sake of our children's well-being.
00:12And this can be said that everything went smoothly and amicably.
00:19We have reached a stage where we have agreed on all aspects in this process.
00:27And if I'm not mistaken, there is nothing more than that.
00:33Of course, we must be sad. We have been married for 12 years.
00:38We can celebrate a little, share a little.
00:43Of course, 13-14 years since 2012.
00:48Of course, we are sad. But from a personal point of view, we both agree that with this divorce, we can move forward.
00:59And it's better not only for ourselves, but also for our children.
01:04To feel that everything has calmed down as they grow up.
01:11Sorry?
01:13Please continue.
01:14How do I feel?
01:19Of course, I'm sad. But I guess it's a new beginning.
01:23You have been married for 14 years.
01:28Finally, you got divorced.
01:31Is there anything that you can share with me?
01:34Actually, I have already shared it in the video.
01:37As for today, we are really good friends.
01:39We still work together.
01:41We still run businesses together.
01:43And we are in a better place, right?
01:46Yes.
01:47As you can see in the video.
01:49After this, we will continue to work together.
01:53Because we have several companies together.
01:55So, it's still going on as usual.
01:58Only from the point of view of husband and wife.
02:00We don't have a husband and wife anymore.
02:02But we are still friends and business partners.
02:05How about your children?
02:08Of course, we have talked to our children.
02:12We have asked them questions.
02:17For me, I think they are still okay.
02:20But of course, every day is a challenge.
02:25We still have to make sure that they are not disturbed.
02:29From a social point of view.
02:33I'm sorry to ask this question.
02:35In the video, you said that you have done something stupid that men always do.
02:40Is there a reason for that?
02:46Okay.
02:47What did I say in the video?
02:49I don't want to get into that.
02:51I think...
02:54Just don't bring up...
02:56I think he already said that he has done something wrong.
02:59I think we all should respect that.
03:01We should respect.
03:02And it's not easy for someone to just come up and say that he has done something wrong.
03:06So, whatever the reason is.
03:09It's not a problem.
03:10It doesn't matter.
03:11So, the most important thing here is...
03:13We have to just forgive and move on.
03:15And we promise each other to grow bigger and better together.
03:19Do you have to make an effort to save this marriage?
03:24Actually, we have been trying for a long time.
03:26Not only me, but also Jasmine.
03:30We tried everything.
03:32Just like what you saw in the video.
03:34We tried everything.
03:36And we reached a point where...
03:38Okay.
03:40This next step is the best step.
03:44We told the judge earlier.
03:46We tried a lot to make it peaceful.
03:49But in the end...
03:51You know?
03:52This is what happened.
03:53So, we have to accept it.
03:55It's fate.
03:56So, the judge has noted this down.
03:59Right?
04:00Maybe you can share a little bit.
04:02Actually, this problem has been happening since winter.
04:05I can't pinpoint a specific day.
04:07It's been a long time.
04:08I'm sorry.
04:09How do you make it look peaceful?
04:11Sometimes, when a woman is involved in a marriage, it's quite emotional.
04:16But you look peaceful.
04:20Because...
04:21That's just my personality.
04:23But I always believe...
04:27We women have to stand on our own feet and be independent.
04:31So, that's my only advice that I would like to give out to all ladies out there.
04:38At the end of the day, don't expect your husband to give you everything.
04:41I'm not saying that he doesn't.
04:42He's a very good daddy.
04:44A very good husband.
04:46But, always stand on your own feet.
04:48Have your own goals.
04:49Have your dreams.
04:50And chase after it.
04:57He turned out to be my best friend.
04:58So, until today, if I still struggle, I still call him.
05:01He's still the person that I call.
05:03You know what happened today?
05:07Even last night.
05:09After working at the end of the day, he's the one...
05:12Do you know what happened today?
05:14I heard about it.
05:15He's like a friend.
05:17So, I think we have to maintain that level.
05:21At least, we have to be friendly.
05:23We have to work together.
05:25So, it's not only for our own good but also for our children's good.
05:29Can you share with us when did you feel that there's a problem in your marriage?
05:35Actually, there's no problem in our marriage.
05:38But if we consider it as a problem because of the divorce, it's not good.
05:43So, there's a problem in every relationship.
05:48The difference is how big the problem is.
05:50If there's a problem, it will make the situation worse.
05:54So, I can't say that there's only one or two problems.
05:59It's like a rollercoaster.
06:02So, like what we've said earlier, we've tried our best.
06:09And this is the ending for now.
06:20I'm still the manager.
06:22So, I'm still his manager.
06:24I still manage his career.
06:27And I think our focus after this is to focus on each other's career.
06:31So, I have my stamp sale company.
06:33And I also manage him.
06:35And I think we're doing a very good job.
06:37He supports me as well in many ways.
06:41I'm very grateful for that.
06:43Because we started off as a very good friend and then we got married.
06:47And today, with this very amicable relationship, I think I'm also very grateful.
06:52He's a very understanding guy.
06:54Very understanding.
06:55Even though sometimes he can be a bit quiet.
06:58But he's analysing.
06:59That's just personality.
07:01So, I'm used to that personality.
07:03So, I handle all the clients.
07:07And we work very well together.
07:11So, after this, I'll focus on my career.
07:13But maybe there's a chance for you to get back together.
07:18That's in God's hands.
07:21No one can say that this will happen tomorrow.
07:26Even before we got married, we can't say that we'll get married tomorrow.
07:31Maybe one day, if it's in God's hands.
07:35If Allah wills it.
07:43Al-Fatiha.
