-
The mosque where I used to live in Mardan,
-
she lives nearby that mosque
in the camps with her brothers
-
She is a needy widow
-
Mardan is a small city
-
One doesn’t get any job easily
-
And here, no maid stays with us
-
Same arguments every day
-
I used to meet her brother in
the mosque every day
-
My need, his compulsion
-
It was decided while we were talking
-
Twenty thousand monthly pay,
-
including her stay, clothes and food
-
Right, Qayyum?
-
Isn’t it fine?
-
It’s right
-
What is happening?
-
What ill-manners are these?
-
Hey, come back Come
-
By the way, why did
they name you Barbeena?
-
Did you use to play with
barbie dolls in your childhood?
-
A baby is named after
the six days he is born Stupid
-
Did you started playing right
after you were born?
-
No, no, no Let me tell you
-
When she was born,
-
she must be looking like a barbie doll
-
Besides, look how pretty she is
-
Right, Guddo?
-
Isn’t she pretty?
-
Guddo?
-
Yes, she is pretty
-
What happened, dude?
-
She is so pretty
-
Check Google What does Barbeena mean?
-
Hmm
-
Check it out
-
Barbeena,
-
like “gull”
-
Like a “gull”?
-
“Gull”
-
means a flower
-
Oh, a flower
-
It’s also shown here, a flower
-
And its scientific name is,
-
Warbeena?
-
Barbeena
-
Oho, you people have
gathered around her again
-
Aren’t you people ashamed?
-
Poor thing came from far away and
is sitting here hungry and thirsty
-
No one would have asked her to eat, right?
-
Come,
-
let me feed you
-
You people will not spare her
-
Don’t know when will the situations get better?
-
We get worried even while thinking that
without any established relation,
-
how can a young girl
come so far with a stranger?
-
Sister has put her hand on her hand
like her daughter, mister
-
Otherwise, who sends their young girl
nowadays with someone?
-
Right?
-
Definitely
-
Not only her hand on her head
There is a person like brother
-
He must have called her his daughter
and have considered her so too,
-
that’s why he has brought her along
-
Not just like that
-
What happened?
-
Is it spicy?
-
Wait, let me give you water
-
Here,
-
drink it
-
Drink more Take a big gulp
-
Thanks
-
Do you know Urdu?
-
Just a little
-
Where did you meet Mushtaq?
-
Mushtaq?
-
Barbeena? It’s your brother’s call
-
Where is it?
-
Brother, greetings
-
Poor thing found the food spicy
-
Yes
-
Their food and our food are very different
-
They don’t eat spices
-
Take care of yourself
-
Thanks a lot Thanks a lot
-
Congratulations, Mushtaq
-
Congrats to you too
-
The dress your mother made as per my size,
-
someone else wore it today
-
Say prayers
-
It’s about everyone’s fate
-
On one condition
-
You won’t let anyone
else wear that dress now
-
I am at a better place now
-
Why are you crying?
-
Be satisfied from my side
-
You also be satisfied And ask
mother to be satisfied too
-
I came with my own will And
I can come back with my own will too
-
Don’t worry I am happy here
-
Now I should not hear you crying
-
Everyone loved the food
-
Qorma was praised the most
-
The meat was finely cut
-
Brother, one has to be at
the butcher’s head to get it done nicely
-
If you get lazy,
-
they mix the different sizes
-
It was just okay
-
It was not like that “baggay”
-
He put this many onions in the gravy
-
It made gravy too sweet
-
Why didn’t you get it
made from “baggay”, Qayyum?
-
Brother, he is old now
-
In the last one month,
he ruined three functions
-
It was about Ayesha’s wedding
-
I said I can’t take risk
-
Haji Sb, thanks
-
Did you talk?
-
Zubaida?
-
Yes? Yes, brother?
-
She is wearing
the clothes as per Mardan
-
She must be feeling hot
-
Give her something light to wear,
-
some buggy clothes,
so that she can take rest
-
Yes, brother
-
I just have tea on the stove
-
I will make arrangements
for her after getting free
-
You shouldn’t have behaved
like that with a woman
-
I thought she was a thief,
-
brother
-
There are so many robberies going on
in the neighbourhood
-
That is why…
-
Ask the sister-in-law
-
Right, sister-in-law?
-
Yes, brother
-
In the last 10 days, there have been
3 robberies in our neighbourhood
-
Even if a woman is a thief,
-
you shouldn’t insult her like that
-
Women don’t rob
-
They just leave after
picking up all the stuff
-
As much as old you are,
-
I have worked at a shop for
the same number of years
-
I have faced such women all my life
-
Which woman entered
the shop with what intention,
-
whether she wants to
buy anything or not,
-
or just want to pass the time,
-
or if she wants to rob,
-
I get to know in just once glance
-
Zubaida,
-
you got a lottery
-
No arguments, or ifs and buts
-
Nor any holidays 24/7 on duty
-
But sister-in-law
-
You will have to keep
a strict eye on her at the start
-
Where she is, what she is eating,
-
You will have to notice everything
-
Brother,
-
we will have to file a report in the police
-
Why?
-
Tell him why, brother
-
It is getting strict nowadays, brother
-
Even if a girl is so innocent,
-
but she has come from
outside, brother Right?
-
I know,
-
what to do
-
I will have to cook food, right?
-
She doesn’t even eat what we cook,
-
how will she manage to cook?
-
I don’t know about the rest
-
That what she cooks and what she doesn’t
-
But she cooks Kabli Pulao
like everyone will just continue to eat
-
Here you go, Chowdhary
-
You will now enjoy a lot
-
You run after a plate of pulao
even to another city
-
Brother, I cannot offer such a huge sacrifice
after a plate of pulao
-
What do you mean?
-
They are about to start offering prayer
-
Let’s go
-
[speaks Pashtu]
-
Hey, Mr Qayyum
-
How much would
I have to pay for a plate of Kabli Pulao?
-
Brother,
-
you are an angel
-
But the rest of the persons are human beings
-
Brother, not everyone thinks like you
-
Hey, let them think
-
Hey, leave it aside
-
It’s their problem
-
This is our problem
-
Now if a person strangles us
or be at our service,
-
what does anyone have to do with it?
-
It does make a difference, brother
-
Greetings, Haji Sb
-
It does
-
People do ask even
if a goat comes to our house
-
Where does it come from?
-
How does it come?
-
How much was it for?
-
Hey, let them speak
-
What will they say?
-
At most that Haji Mushtaq
eloped with a girl, right?
-
Fine then
-
Atleast I didn’t elope anyone’s daughter or
daughter-in-law from here, right?
-
Brother, the thing is…
-
Greetings
-
Greetings
-
Brother,
-
I have heard that
you brought a woman with you?
-
Take this, mother?
-
Where did you give it?
-
To that Bunty’s house
-
Okay, son Come on
Give this to Molvi Sb
-
Mother, I am not going there
-
He makes me sit
and ask me to recite kalimas
-
Okay, you leave Billu?
You go, my son
-
Go and give it to him,
come on
-
Me?
-
Yes, you
-
Don’t throw tantrums
-
Go, come on
-
Listen to me, Zubaida
-
Send it to aunt Naseem too
-
Hey, yes I didn’t even remember aunt Naseem
-
Mother, I am telling you this is the last tray
-
Mother, I also want to see Ayesha’s gifts
-
Okay, okay Don’t talk much Go and give it
-
Bibi Barbeena?
-
Cover it and go
-
Five plates are less
-
Five plates are missing
-
Ghaffar? How would that poor thing know?
-
She washed all the plates she saw
-
Yes, then am I not supposed to return them
all after counting them?
-
Oho We have sent food to some houses
-
When they will come back,
they will be complete in counting
-
Listen?
-
You know how to make Kabli Pulao, right?
-
You make such tasty Kabli Pulao
Brother was telling us
-
Kabli Pulao
-
Oh, Barbeena?
-
What else can you cook?
-
Everything
-
Shawarma, Aasht, Dampukht, Showla
-
She can cook Showla too
-
Did you use to work in
the restaurant before?
-
She didn’t understand
-
Restaurant
-
Hotel Café
-
Restaurant
-
Yes, yes
-
No, no
-
My father used to take soft diet
-
So, I learned it from my mother
-
Mother…
-
Oh, okay
-
Mother has taught her Mother has taught her
-
Now I understood
-
Mother
-
Seems like she belongs to a rich family
-
What else can you cook?
-
Pizza, burger, French fries,
-
can you cook all this too or not?
-
Well, you got rid of it
-
Can you make paratha?
-
Paratha
-
Yes, yes Roghni Naan
I can make that
-
Hey, okay, stop it
-
You people are after her
-
Why are you people just after food?
-
Ask her something about herself too
-
Ask about her family
-
Tell me,
-
father,
-
mother,
-
siblings…
-
Father passed away
-
Mother is alive
-
My mother is alive
-
I have two brothers One is elder,
-
and one younger brother
-
Two sons… Brothers
-
Yes, yes
-
I have a sister too She works at a shrine
-
Okay, tell me
-
Your husband Your husband
-
Sister?
-
Why did you ask about her husband?
-
Poor thing is a widow since
the last three years
-
Yes,
-
then no proposal came again?
-
I mean you are young
-
You are pretty too
-
Why didn’t you get married again?
-
“You are welcome”
-
Brother Ghaffar, you are just…
-
You didn’t tell your Ayesha
how was she looking?
-
She has not changed yet
-
That is right, father
-
I will not talk to you
-
Wait
-
Is my mother offended?
-
For sure
-
If mother was alive today,
-
she must be putting evil eyes off of you
-
No, brother
-
You are absolutely wrong here
-
If mother would be alive, then…
-
If she would see someone else
wearing your engagement dress,
-
she would never be happy
-
Oh, don’t do this
-
Let a happy occasion
stay a happy occasion
-
Father?
-
Hmm?
-
Aunt Kulsoom said no at that time too
-
Either I don’t wear this suit,
-
or don’t call you
-
What is this?
-
Hey, leave her
She just speaks without thinking
-
Yes, she just says and you?
-
You also left without saying anything
-
How can you fix my date like this,
-
where you can’t be there?
-
Yes, my child
-
Now you people need my prayers
-
That is why
I just want to go in Allah’s path
-
Father,
-
I will not get married
until you won’t be there
-
What?
-
You are such a shameless girl
-
You are mentioning your wedding yourself
-
Whatever it is I have said it
-
And I have said it to everyone
-
I swear what a miser woman she is
-
Only Rs 500?
-
Husband, wife,
along with three children
-
They must have eaten food
worth 500 each
-
Who is she?
-
Who can she be?
Other than Masi Fareeda?
-
And mother also sent an extra tray
to her place for her parents-in-laws
-
She was still not ashamed
-
And along with this,
the total now is 25 thousand and 500
-
Really?
-
Oh, wow
-
Rupees five thousand
-
Guess who?
-
Who gave this much?
-
Guess it
-
Father’s girlfriend
-
Hey?
-
What nonsense are you uttering, Ramsha?
-
Hey, it’s not my fault
-
Whoever asks who Shamim?
-
They say Haji Mushtaq’s
-
Oh, shut up
-
She just speaks nonsense, idiot
-
She just creates dramas
-
Leave it, father
-
I think father must have
also made some commitment
-
No one becomes mad
for anyone like this
-
I don’t go against of what I say
-
Then just say no
-
She just makes a scandal
without any reason
-
Leave Shamim aside
-
Idiots?
-
Finish the work faster
-
It’s time to pray
-
Tell me… I cannot open this
-
Open it
-
Show it to me
-
Yes
-
How are you feeling now?
-
I am fine
-
Go take rest
-
You must be tired
-
Bibi Barbeena?
-
Help us
-
Oh, leave her She is tired
-
Let her take some rest
-
No, no, no problem I am fine
-
What is it?
-
Look at this
-
This one?
-
Yes
-
Chammo, look Is this rice enough
for your in-laws? Or should I put more?
-
They are enough, sister-in-law
-
Kulsoom?
-
Serve yourself on your own, okay?
-
Hey, my Zubaida must be tired,
-
by working all day long
-
I will serve myself Put it aside
-
Okay
-
Chowdhary?
-
Tell me for once that where else
do I have to send food?
-
So that I can spare all the utensils and
give them to Barbeena
-
She will wash them in two minutes
-
No,
-
no No need to make her do the dishes
-
Treat her like guests
She should leave as soon as she can
-
Qayyum,
-
she is not a maid
-
She seems to be from a good family
-
And as much as she made us
count the number of dishes,
-
it seems like that
-
By the way, she is very talent at her job
-
She can work equivalent to two women alone
-
She is right
-
Brother Qayyum Let her stay
-
Sister-in-law would get a helping hand
-
She won’t get a helping hand,
-
rather a broken hand
-
I can write it down for you
-
This woman is not here to do the dishes,
-
nor is she here to mop and clean
-
Her goal is something else
-
And what is that goal?
-
Oho,
-
our maternal side took
honour too seriously this time
-
Elder aunt sent the ring,
-
and uncle sent the watch
-
Show it to me
-
Look
-
Wow
-
Wow
-
It’s so pretty
-
Oh We got suits for Barbeena too
-
No, no Thank you
-
Keep it, Barbeena
-
What happened, dude? Keep it
-
They are branded
-
By the way, I am sure
they must have bought it from the sale
-
Hey, Ramsha?
-
Take it away
-
They don’t wear such clothes
-
No, no Thanks
-
Do you people also get engaged like this?
-
Yes, yes We also do the same
-
Engagement
-
It’s what they call engagement
-
Oh
-
That is what they call engagement
-
That means I also got engaged
-
Was it love marriage or arranged?
-
Barbeena?
-
Yes?
-
Ramsha?
-
She is not British like you
-
Barbeena,
-
your wedding…
-
Wedding
-
Love marriage
-
Oh
-
Love marriage
-
[speaks Pashtu]
-
One minute One minute
-
Wait
-
Say it now
-
Say it
-
[speaks Pashtu]
-
Baran and I was friends
with each other since childhood
-
[speaks Pashtu]
-
Baran and I used
to spendevery day together
-
[speaks Pashtu]
-
Baran was the most handsome
and brave boy from our tribe
-
He never used to fight
with anyone for no reason
-
The reason behind him fighting was
just one which was Barbeena
-
[speaks Pashtu]
-
Whenever he fought, it was for me
-
He fought with those
who saw me with evil intentions
-
He fought with ones
who thought bad for me
-
He fought to make me his
-
He fought with everyone
-
With my father, his own father,
-
with friends, and relatives,
-
with my villagers,
-
he fought with everyone
-
He fought with every person
-
To pay for my price, he sold his horse
-
The horse that was his pride
-
He used to sit on it and used to play archery
-
To build my house, he sold his land
-
He started working for others
-
He left everything he had
-
Just for my sake
-
What was the need of saying that?
-
When it will create a blast,
-
then you will get to know
-
Listen to me
-
Brother has seen the whole world
-
Yes Brother also thinks all of us
are blind and deaf
-
No, you think yourself
-
Such a young and beautiful girl,
-
now it’s a truth that she is pretty
-
Yes?
-
Such a girl,
-
for the sake a couple of bucks,
will come along with your brother
-
That too, to clean and mop here
-
Not at all
-
The matter is something else
-
So, did brother elope with her?
-
No
-
Brother didn’t elope with her
-
She came with brother holding his hand
-
Men whose family don’t
wed them off at the right time,
-
then outsiders women control them like this
-
Brother is not a man like you
-
What do you mean by this?
-
Yes?
-
How am I?
-
If I were supposed to do anything,
-
I would have married again immediately
-
I have a solid reason
-
Speak slowly
-
Indeed, she is pretty
-
But Zakir
-
My heart doesn’t agree
She seems innocent to me
-
Yes, mother
-
Today, when that poor thing
told us her story,
-
then honestly,
-
even I shed tears
-
May Allah have mercy
-
You made her sleep in the store?
-
Yes, then where else
should I make her sleep?
-
She is not a maid
-
How many times should
I explain it to you?
-
I will give her a room I will
-
Let the guests leave for once
-
I shouldn’t be explaining this to you again
-
So, now I will cook and feed her?
-
Oho?
-
In order for your dishes to be done,
-
do you want to ruin my respect?
-
Did you talk to brother?
-
He now has no concern from the world
-
He is not worried about
the respect or insult
-
But it’s his order that we follow, right?
-
Brother likes sweet a lot
-
But you always ignore him
-
Why?
-
Because it is not good for his health
-
Likewise,
-
consider her a sweet dish
for brother and ignore her
-
Are all the unmarried women
in this world dead?
-
That she is bringing
the proposals of widows for brother?
-
If I ask, then a couple would
-
come from this same neighbourhood
-
You are right
-
Sister Shamim is ready since so long
-
If we ask her, she will bring
a Molvi along to get married
-
Just leave her
-
Consider her a widow too
-
There should be match too
-
It shouldn’t only be unmarried,
-
rather intelligent too
-
Afterall, she will be
the eldest in our house, right?
-
What happened to brother’s age?
-
Look at Mr Majeed
He got married for the third time
-
A young and an unmarried girl
-
Listen to me
-
I saw a girl
-
A year younger than bother Majeed’s wife
-
I can swear
-
Once the car goes out
of the showroom,consider it second hand
-
What brother’s age is,
in this age, support is needed
-
Not taste
-
Don’t you dare
-
All of you listen to me very carefully
-
Next time, my wedding won’t be
mentioned in this house
-

Ever since, he is thinking about roghni naan

Where is she…?

Barbeena, you will have

-
No one is eating puris
-
Okay, okay Let me make more
-
Oh, wow I ate parathas all my life
-
But I didn’t eat like this
-
You ate big parathas Big ones
-
I never ate such parathas
-
I need this every day
-
What about me?
-
How will I eat these parathas after the wedding?
-
Mother, first one is mine
-
Mother, mine too
-
Mother, no mistreatment
-
Everyone will get one
-
Let them eat fully, Zubaida
-
Let them eat
-
They will leave to their houses after eating
-
And brother will pack his bags for Allah’s path
-
It’s us who will suffer
-
She will make us pay back for all the parathas
-
Eat
-
Come on,
-
continue to eat
-
Eat fully Eat,

-
Hey, the parathas you made were delicious

Really, they were so tasty
-
Barbeena?

Sit down here
-
No, no I…
-
Leave it Do it later on Sit
-
Sit
-
I want to talk to you about something important
-
Look, Barbeena
-
We people are respectable people
-
My father,
-
may Allah grant him heaven,
-
Chowdhary Muhammad Sharif was so famous
-
He was so respected
-
Oh, my mother
-
Bibi Ayesha
-
May Allah grant her heaven
-
She became a widow
at such a young age
-
All people here used
to swear upon her decency
-
And you already saw
brother Mushtaq’s respect
-
Hey, am I just speaking,
-
or you are understanding it too?
-
Yes, yes I understood it
-
Yes,
-
look, child
-
Do you know what the matter is?
-
We don’t know about the story
-
If you are here
-
to pay back for the money
that Mushtaq paid,
-
then go back from here
-
Go back
-
This will be a huge favour
on him from your side
-
Go back
-
Listen to me
-
