Kuwait Times is publishing daily recaps of two Kuwaiti soap operas airing on Al Rai TV and MBC Drama. Here are the recaps of the 4th, 5th and 6th episodes:

'Saq Al Bamboo' (Bamboo Stalk)

Ghasan tells Hind that Eisa has arrived in Kuwait, and she tries to convince her mother Ghanima to meet Eisa. Ghasan and Eisa meet Hind at the mall, and while sitting in a restaurant, the son of Nooriya, Eisa's aunt, sees them and sits with them, before Ghasan takes him shopping. His name is also Eisa, after their grandfather. He tells Ghanima he saw Hind with a Filipino guy, and she finds out he's Eisa, the son of Rashid. Hind asks her mother to meet him, but she refuses.

Josephine tells her son Eisa all the stories of the house and even about Rashid's friends, as she wanted him to come back to his father's homeland. Ghanima's friend finds a potential husband for Hind, and Hind agrees to see this man under one condition - if Ghanima meets Eisa, so she agrees. Ghasan takes Eisa to Ghanima's house and lets him wait in the car outside. Ghanima tells Ghasan she changed her mind and will not meet him. The neighbor sees Eisa looking out the window, so he fights with him.

Eisa has a sister Khawla, who lives in Ghanima's house as Rashid is missing since the invasion and her mother just left him. So Hind is sure that only Khawla may convince Ghanima to see Eisa, so she sets a plan to make Ghasan meet Eisa accidently during the national celebrations.

Khawla is shocked when they tell her that Eisa is her brother, especially since she didn't know about this story, since he looks like a Filipino. She convinces her grandmother to meet him, and Ghasan brings him to the house. She only looks at him and refuses to let him kiss her head. Hind's sisters Awatif and Nooriya come to the house to meet Eisa.
