Episode 96's

Gibran's indecision proved from his courage to cancel several cooperation contracts worth hundreds of millions in the show building for a drama titled “Manira”. Everyone was wondering, what is Manira? Who's Manira? How's story? Until a great entrepreneur can sacrifice everything for the sake of drama.

The questions are increasingly making the media and all people in the world curious, can not wait to see it. Curiosity is what makes the news about the drama “Manira” great and discussed in many countries. A large poster depicting a woman in a black dress, with a sad face playing the violin has been displayed on the side of the road. Many internet pages to newspapers display the same poster, indicating that Gibran did not playfully hold this show. It was as if he wanted to tell the world how great an injustice a Manira was experiencing.

The day everyone was waiting for arrived. Gibran sat in the front seat to see the story of Manira performed in the form of a musical drama. Played by some of the most famous dramatists in Frankfurt. They manage to turn the majestic stage into an old station, where Manira begins all her waiting.

It starts with a violin with the same song Manira always plays. A pair of dancers dance on stage depicting the story of Manira and Mahesa who are still warm, then separated, a very long wait, meeting back with a thousand hopes, then betrayal until finally the tragic incident occurred. Gibran cried to see the dance that told the tragic story of Manira accompanied by a sad song that Manira always played.

As soon as the opening dance depicting Manira's life journey is complete, it is connected with the real drama. A woman dressed in white was sitting in one corner of an old station playing her violin with a song of longing, waiting for someone. A woman who stands every three o'clock in the station waiting for her lover to return. A woman who is willing to fight against everyone in order to maintain her loyalty to one person. A tough woman who was willing to hear all the insults and insults that considered her arrogant and arrogant. A woman who almost died committed suicide because she missed her lover too much. A woman who even for the sake of maintaining her love, she lost her father.

At the end of her wait, suddenly her lover came carrying a glimmer of fresh air in her crowded life. He was taken to this foreign country and made into a street beggar. She was even auctioned off by her own husband in a jewelry exhibition. The image of a woman who when the auction took place was wearing a black dress, with bruises that had begun to imprint on her face due to often beaten by lovers who had been considered as gods. He plays his violin with a sad rhythm depicting his uneasiness how much he is tormented by his own love.

There was a sense of disdain as he stared at the few old men staring at him with their dirty gazes. There is a feeling of being a cheap woman whenever she has to be on display in front of an exhibition event and play her violin. There were tears behind her eyelids. Until finally that day came. The day Manira's loyalty and sincerity are paid with contempt by her lover. That night, her lover who had become her husband sent her to a hotel room where a striped man was waiting for her.
