-
If she’s a child then what is she doing here?
-
If she doesn’t know the work then she should sit at home.
-
Had Abid even been earning less…
-
But if he would have at least been the respectable sort…
-
I would have had no objection
-
He went to jail for drug trafficking.
-
Or else!
-
Or else what???
-
...Or else what will you do???
-
Huh???
-
Take madam out of here.
-
What… have you lost your minds… have you gone crazy.
-
Take her out of here.
-
Why do you look so scared?
-
What are you hiding there?
-
You’re trying to steal something and sneak off are you?!
-
No.
-
Madam!
-
Look! This girl is stealing something and trying to sneak away!
-
I’ve caught her
-
What’s that in your hand Azka?
-
Its nothing…
-
If its nothing then why are you hiding it?
-
Show your hands!
-
Whats happening out here Mom?
-
Mr. Azlan!
-
She was stealing something and trying to run away
-
I caught her!
-
Uh… Madame… its… uh… I broke this… while cleaning.
-
Oh my god! You hurt hand trying to hide that?
-
Just look at that, its bleeding.
-
Mom, one second.
-
Let me speak to her.
-
Did you break the cologne bottle you’re holding?
-
Yes.
-
Look at me.
-
I said look at me!
-
And you were now going to throw it away were you?
-
Yes.
-
You were trying to get rid of the evidence so no one would know that you’d caused me a loss?!
-
Yes?
-
Azlan, its okay.
-
She got scared.
-
Its really not okay Mom!
-
Its not!
-
This girl is not only incompetent, she’s also dishonest!
-
To cause a loss to someone and then to go and hide it, is not only a lie but its also a theft!
-
She stole from us Mom.
-
Azka, please leave go to the kitchen,
-
wash your hand and apply salve ointment on it
-
Its bleeding away.
-
Go on.
-
Go on then.
-
That girl stole something Mom!
-
How can you tolerate this?
-
I’ll make her understand Azlan.
-
It would be best would be if you didn’t get involved in things to do with the house!
-
Azka?
-
It’s only a matter of a few days…
-
Sultan will return to his job.
-
Ma, I don’t want to stay poor my whole life.
-
What kind of talk is this Azka?
-
You think poverty is a crime???
-
Yes… it is a crime.
-
It creates fear in a person.
-
One doesn’t have any courage left to look into someone’s eyes and talk back to them.
-
I don’t want to spend my life as a coward.
-
I don’t want to do it and that’s it.
-
Now see here Azka.
-
You have to admit it was your fault.
-
If something did break, why did you hide it?
-
Its what made Azlan angry.
-
But Ma, you also need to then understand why I hid it!
-
Have you given that any thought?
-
At that time, my heart…
-
because of fear…
-
was shaking like a leaf...
-
I thought I wouldn’t be forgiven for my mistake and that I would be further humiliated.
-
Tell me something Ma,
-
had Mr. Azlan broken something that belonged to me, would he have felt afraid?
-
Would he have hidden it?
-
No Ma, not at all.
-
And that’s because he’s got money Ma!
-
He has nothing to fear!
-
When one has money then this fear and all… they all get left way behind and that’s a fact!
-
Enough of your complaints.
-
What are you going to do about it?
-
Who are you competing with child?
-
Are you competing with Azlan?
-
Yes?
-
Whats wrong with you?
-
Know your place.
-
But Ma, there is only one God’s earth, yes?
-
Then… why is his status different from mine?
-
Its a trial… a test.
-
Everyone has their own place, each one is different.
-
Be grateful to God and thank Him for what you have.
-
And what you don’t have, pray for it… work hard for it
-
Our hard work is never wasted.
-
And if you pray with a true heart, then you will attain your destination.
-
You worry me unnecessarily and upset yourself as well.
-
Who are you and what are you doing here?
-
I’ve heard that organs are transplanted here?
-
Nothing happens out here.
-
Get out of here.
-
Come on… please leave.
-
Look our mother,
-
both her kidneys have failed and no one in the family has kidneys that match with hers.
-
We’re really desperate.
-
Please help us.
-
Follow me.
-
...Come.
-
Have you brought the reports?
-
The reports are at home.
-
Then what have you come here for?!
-
We’ll get them tomorrow.
-
once you get the report…
-
then we’ll see...
-
How much money will it cost?
-
Just get the reports and then we’ll see… everything will get done so don’t worry.
-
We will get the kidney wont we?
-
Oh hey, people come here from abroad to get their treatment.
-
You just arrange the money and then you’ll see only kidneys and more kidneys.
-
As you can see ladies and gentlemen,
-
there is major Mafia behind the illegal trafficking of human organs.
-
And this Mafia is so strong that even law enforcement agencies cant touch them…
-
or maybe they don’t want to apprehend them.
-
This has become a business.
-
It has become such a dirty and dangerous business
-
that many people are falling victim to it on a daily basis.
-
Whats sad is that all of us maintain a silence on it!
-
I would today like to ask our government and human rights organizations that
-
why are you all silent on this?
-
Why are you all helpless before this mafia?
-
Why is this mafia never questioned?
-
Will no one ever take any action against them?
-
And if action is taken, then by when will it be taken?!
-
Answer us!
-
Ladies and gentlemen, we’re going to head for a short break now
-
and in our second segment of the program…
-
we have a doctor and legal expert joining us on the show to shed ight on the legal status of this business.
-
Don’t go anywhere, stay with us.
-
See you after a short break.
-
Hello?
-
Sir did you see that report on the TV?
-
What should we do now Sir?
-
Please do something Sir… please!
-
How is brother Sultan feeling now?
-
He’s better.
-
Sister-in-law has gone to pick up Aliha from school.
-
You can go meet him inside.
-
No, my wanting to meet him was but an excuse to meet you.
-
Please don’t talk nonsense with me!
-
Alright fine then, I’ll come to the point.
-
All day you’re reading books.
-
What could be in them that’s so interesting?
-
I just don’t understand them.
-
The only people that can understand what’s in a book are the ones who have some intelligence.
-
So am I not intelligent?
-
You wouldn’t be asking me this if you had any.
-
Well if you wont share your intellect then there is one thing that we can share.
-
Whats that?
-
Love.
-
One can share one’s love, can’t one?
-
Who’s out there with you Azka dear?
-
Its brother Abid!
-
Oh but why did you come out brother?
-
Go back inside and I’ll just join you there.
-
Okay fine, come in here then.
-
Shut the front door child.
-
I… I’ll go shut it.
-
By the way…
-
By the way, I really like you.
-
You… your conversation… and even your anger.
-
The only thing is… just don’t call me, ‘Brother.’
-
She is prettier… than me.
-
Greeting Ma.
-
Greeting grandma!
-
Greetings.
-
Where’s Kanwal?
-
She’s making bread.
-
Hmm…
-
Could you please get me a glass of water Aliha?
-
Yes grandma.
-
You must be exhausted Ma, shall I make you some tea?
-
No.
-
I’ll have tea once I’ve freshened up and offered my prayers.
-
Okay so I was thinking that I’ll go to work with you tomorrow.
-
Don’t worry about me, I’m fine.
-
You don’t look too well to me.
-
There’s so much work to be done over there,
-
I just don’t know how you must have managed everything on your own.
-
I’ll go there with you tomorrow and that’s it.
-
I’m fine now and over my anger or whatever it was!
-
As they say, anger is forbidden.
-
It makes one restless.
-
You shouldn’t get angry.
-
Grandma?
-
Your water.
-
Thank you my dear child.
-
Come sit with me… sit.
-
Now you listen to me, you can go make these threats to someone
-
else and don’t you dare call me on this number again!
-
Whose call was that?
-
Tch… It was nothing, just someone making a threatening call.
-
You know how I always get some such calls so its nothing new for me.
-
But… it is something to worry about for me.
-
Why mummy?
-
The number of your enemies is growing day by day child!
-
I worry about you.
-
Listen… I think that you should immediately get married!
-
...Yes… I’ll speak to Sitwat today.
-
Talk to her about what?
-
I’ll talk to her about getting you and Azlan married what else?
-
And what will she say?
-
You know Azlan well
-
and how he’s completely independent when it comes to his life and views!
-
Then what about this friendship and all… what is the meaning of all this Shanaya?
-
How long will you carry on speaking to him like this?
-
You need to think about your future as well dear!
-
Mummy, Azlan will speak to me about this when he wants to speak to me about it.
-
And I know him well, he wont speak to anyone about this other than me.
-
I know him very well.
-
No Shanaya.
-
I… I want to see you safe and secure dear!
-
Oh my god mummy, what’s wrong with you?
-
Relax!
-
Azlan’s here and I’m going with him.
-
Please… you are not to speak to Azlan about this matter ever, okay?
-
I love you.
-
Hello! Hello! Hello! Yes, yes, I’m coming! I’m coming!
-
Okay bye, bye!
-
May God keep you safe.
-
I’ve met you after so many days.
-
Every time I phone you, you don’t answer my calls.
-
What’s the reason?
-
I’m really busy these days.
-
I’m just not getting time to do anything.
-
In fact even when I’m on a lunch break I’m always doing something or the other.
-
I was free today so I came.
-
Are you worried about something?
-
No.
-
Why?
-
Do I look worried?
-
Yes, you do look it.
-
But it up to you if you don’t want to tell me.
-
I don’t want to.
-
And you wont understand it.
-
So make me understand it.
-
You really seem very heartless to me sometimes.
-
You, in fact, look so cold and calculating that I start to feel afraid of you.
-
Oh god Shanaya, really?
-
I’m completely normal… realistic and worldly.
-
You on the other hand talk real weird.
-
Totally different.
-
No girl should do that…
-
You know I was about to come in and speak to Shireen aunty…
-
about making you see sense.
-
This story you did on the kidney mafia,
-
its circulating everywhere.
-
What difference does it make to you?
-
It does make a difference Shanaya.
-
What if something had happened to you!
-
So what?
-
So, what Azlan?
-
Well then I would have bound your hands and feet and shut you up in a room somewhere
-
Its so you won’t be able to go to such useless places!
-
I’ve gone and told Ma… that I’ve gotten over my anger.
-
But what do I do about this heart …
-
that can’t stand it being humiliated.
-
Mr. Azlan’s words…
-
Dishonest…
-
thief…
-
incompetent.
-
They feel like slaps on my face every second, every minute.
-
and the torture…
-
...I don’t think that I can ever put into words.
-
I hope Mr. Azlan never comes before me again.
-
His stride,
-
his look,
-
his conversation, his tone…
-
everything about him makes me feel lowly.
-
Hello?
-
Why weren't you answering your phone?
-
I was offering my prayers.
-
By the way, looking at you one wouldn't think that you were actually, the type that offered her prayers.
-
Why not?
-
You talk as if offering prayers is a really strange thing!
-
It’s a religious duty which is commanded by God from everyone of us, understand?
-
No,
-
it’s a very personal thing.
-
One should only offer it when one feels like it…
-
otherwise not.
-
Offering prayers is a command given to us by God so whether you
-
want to offer it or not, you must offer it.
-
Understand?
-
Each to his own point of view.
-
Anyways, forget it…
-
By the way,
-
what are you doing tomorrow?
-
I’m working, what else would I be doing.
-
I’m going to Nathigali tomorrow morning to visit a site there so
-
I’m thinking if you’re free then maybe you could come with me.
-
We’ll be back by the evening.
-
Nope.
-
I’m busy all day tomorrow.
-
I won’t be able to go
-
I’m sorry.
-
Tch… It’s only a matter of one day.
-
Take a day off from work
-
and or make up some excuse.
-
I cannot lie and take a day off from work.
-
Sorry.
-
I don’t like it either!
-
Don’t like what either?
-
You refusing me anything.
-
Okay.
-
Why are you laughing?
-
I’m being serious.
-
When you refuse me...
-
I really don’t like it at all...
-
You mean I can’t have an opinion?
-
Of course,
-
you can.
-
But I don’t have to like it.
-
Did you call to fight with me?
-
I actually called to speak to you.
-
But you’re always fighting quite unnecessarily.
-
I’m fighting???
-
So, is it me who’s fighting then?
-
Yes, of course!
-
You know what,
-
you always start a conversation that will turn into a fight.
-
Then hang up.
-
Why are you speaking to me?
-
It’s your lucky day.
-
Since I have called,
-
we might as well talk.
-
Its do we can have another fight?
-
I’m opening another branch in Islamabad…
-
two in Karachi, one in Faisalabad…
-
and… another in Sialkot.
-
You’re expanding real fast buddy?
-
Will the market be able to absorb this potential growth?
-
It’s a service sector
-
and our service is world class.
-
The competition is no big deal for us.
-
That I know for sure.
-
Azka?
-
Yes ma’am?
-
Azlan’s friend is over and the two are sitting in the pool area.
-
Take in some tea...
-
and snacks for them.
-
But do hurry up with it.
-
And another thing,
-
make sure the dishes aren’t dirty, they should be clean.
-
Me?
-
Uh… Yes, yes.
-
and another thing,
-
They’re leaving for Nathiagali…
-
so, you need to hurry up.
-
Okay?
-
Yes.
-
I’m not taking the tea for them Ma.
-
That’s not very nice of you Azka especially when she told you to do it.
-
Look…
-
I can’t work that trolley is why I’m telling you that you need to take it.
-
Is this even any way to talk Azka?
-
Child you’re an educated girl.
-
And besides Madame only told you because she knows you’re so very mindful of etiquette
-
My dearest …
-
if you get scared like this all the time…
-
how will you move forward in this world?
-
Waleed buddy, this habit of yours of smoking, it’s a bad habit.
-
Why don’t you give it up?
-
Yes, this is a really bad habit…
-
but what all am I supposed to leave?!
-
Till yesterday I thought Shanaya would go with me.
-
Now I’m stuck with you which means I’ll have to bear your cigarette smoking!
-
You will have to bear something if you want my company, Sir.
-
You’ve kept on a real pretty girl at home.
-
Speak softly!
-
She’s only a maid.
-
So, what?
-
She’s pretty.
-
You have real bad taste.
-
This has nothing to do with taste.
-
A girl is just a girl…
-
She just needs to be pretty.
-
Don’t talk nonsense.
-
You’re just too much.
-
How is it nonsense?
-
Who do you think you are!
-
You think that you can say whatever you want about anyone?!
-
Where are your manners when talking to someone.
-
Why don’t you teach this ill-mannered friend of yours some manners!
-
He’s the one who doesn’t know how to speak to a girl!
-
What is it with you two…
-
thinking you can say whatever you like about me
-
just because I work in your house!
-
I have come here to work…
-
Stay in your limits!
-
How dare you…
-
insult my friend!
-
How did I insult your friend?!
-
The only one that can be insulted is one who has any respect!
-
He’s one of those that have no respect and don’t know how to give it either!
-
Shut up!
-
You shut up!
-
You should be ashamed of yourself…
-
for not being able to protect the women that work in your house!
-
Is this how you’ve been brought up?!
-
Oye!!!
-
Uh…
-
Azlan!
-
Forget it buddy!
-
How dare you!
-
You dare to shout in my house?!
-
Get out of my house!
-
Talk to me with respect.
-
What will you do if I don’t?!
-
Talk to me with respect otherwise…
-
What will you do about it!
-
otherwise there will be no one worse than me
-
What’s happened?
-
Ma’am…
-
he and his friend were…
-
Uh… Aunty… we were only joking...
-
when she suddenly…
-
Get out!
-
Go inside.
-
I’ll speak to you later.
-
I don’t know what happened.
-
But I do know one thing
-
and that is that you two did something that made that girl leave from here in tears!
-
Are you going to defend her?!
-
Yes?
-
I’m trying to understand what happened here, son.
-
She has no manners.
-
...She has no manners.
-
There are etiquettes as to how one should sit and or speak in ones house as well, son.
-
She took offence at a minor thing…
-
and blew it out of all proportion.
-
You think to question me because of a maid?
-
I didn’t mean to do that.
-
I don’t want to see her or her family in this house again.
-
Do you understand?
-
Waleed,
-
we’re getting late.
-
Let’s go.
-
Azka?
-
Azka?
-
Azka…
-
child...
-
if something’s happened
-
then let’s speak to madame about it.
-
Yes Ma…
-
here take this and let’s go.
-
Azka?
-
Azka, wait, listen to me.
-
That’s it.
-
Azka?
-
Child…
-
Lets go Ma.
-
Lets speak to her.
-
Khatija…
-
whatever happened today with the guests should have never happened.
-
You need not say anything further madame.
-
We have no complaint of you.
-
And if….
-
I have offended you in any way
-
then please forgive us.
-
You have done a lot for us…
-
we owe you all big time.
-
You should not have let the matter escalate Azka.
-
If something happened then you should have some and spoken tome about it -
-
Would you have believed anything I said?
-
Maybe yes and maybe no.
-
Anyways,
-
maybe you two…
-
Yes, you don’t have to say it.
-
...As it is we’re leaving.
-
I have only one request of you.
-
If possible
-
please don’t fire brother Sultan from this job.
-
And the rest…
-
you can see what needs doing.
-
Let’s go Mummy.
-
Do I have your permission to leave?
-
Greetings.
-
Greetings.
-
How are you my dear?
-
I’m fine… what about you,
-
how are you?
-
I’ve been calling Azlan for some time now but he’s not picking up, where is he?
-
Azlan’s gone with his friend Waleed to the Northern areas..
-
to a site…
-
and there are some signal issues out there.
-
Is everything alright aunty, you sound upset.
-
What happened?
-
Shanaya…
-
Dear… please make Azlan understand since he listens to you.
-
What is it that you wanted me to explain to him?
-
You know Sultan, don’t you?
-
Yes.
-
Well, he hurt his foot.
-
And he sent his younger sister Azka and his mother to work for us in his place while he recuperated.
-
Okay
-
and then?
-
Well, Azlan’s friend Waleed had come over…
-
and he apparently misbehaved somehow with Azka.
-
But Azlan, instead of telling off Waleed, scolded Azka.
-
That girl is a very naive and simple child and she left here crying.
-
Tch… Oh dear
-
Please make him understand
-
that he should not speak to people in a rude and scolding manner.
-
What if Azka had, God forbid, cursed him in her heart.
-
No, no!
-
God forbid that should ever happen.
-
I’ll speak to him.
-
Let me call him,
-
Okay?
-
...And don’t worry
-
One should fear God, Shanaya.
-
This attitude of Azlan’s really worries me sometimes.
-
I’m going to speak to him.
-
Please don’t worry, okay?
-
Okay.
-
Okay my dear, you take care now.
-
Yes?
-
Is brother Sultan at home?
-
Daddy’s sleeping.
-
Uh…
-
and what about your aunt Azka?
-
Please come inside.
-
Okay, thank you.
-
Who is it?
-
May I come in?
-
Who are you?
-
I’m Shanaya.
-
Azlan’s friend.
-
Was there anything else left to say that he’s now sent you?
-
He hasn’t sent me.
-
I came of my own free will.
-
Why have you come?
-
It’s because I know that his attitude really hurt you
-
and I’m very embarrassed by it.
-
All I wanted to say was,
-
is that Azlan’s not a bad person at heart…
-
Who’s ever seen that good side of him???
-
He’s very harsh with his words!
-
Look your anger is justified
-
but us human, we make mistakes.
-
I would like to apologize on Azlan’s behalf.
-
Please forgive him.
-
He’s the one that made the mistake
-
so he should be the one to come and apologize to me as well!
-
Why are you apologizing on his behalf?
-
Tell him to come here and apologize to me himself!
-
You’re right in what you’re saying
-
I will make him understand this.
-
What will you make him understand???
-
Does he ever listen to anyone?
-
He considers himself to be Mr. know it all,
-
the world’s most complete being!
-
He can make no mistake nor can he ever forgive anyone else for theirs!
-
He’s lording it over Allah’s earth like he’s some god!
-
And why are you standing up for him?!
-
People like him should never be forgiven!
-
People like him should be punished -
-
Stop it!
-
I’m speaking to you in a caring manner. I’m asking you for your
-
forgiveness all you’re doing is going on and on without any thought to what you’re saying!
-
If he’s Mr. know it all, then what are you???
-
Even you aren’t a complete person.
-
He made a mistake
-
and he didn’t apologize for it
-
but what did you do?
-
Even you aren’t willing to forgive.
-
So, there’s no difference between the two of you is there?
-
No one has the right to walk like a god on Allah’s earth!
-
Not him,
-
not you!
-
See the thing is…
-
Miss. Shanaya..
-
no one’s ever insulted you like that before
-
so, you have no idea …
-
what a person feels like…
-
You wouldn’t know how it feels.
-
But…
-
but you’re right…
-
you were absolutely right that I shouldn’t have vented my anger at Mr. Azlan, on you.
-
If…
-
I’ve said anything to offend you, then I apologize.
-
Please forgive me.
-
I understand your pain.
-
And I think you also understand my distress.
-
I’m not angry with you ..
-
so, what are you apologizing for?
-
Just you please don’t be angry with me.
-
You are as helpless of heart as am I.
-
Don’t forgive Azlan if you don’t want to
-
but I want to make one request of you…
-
Please, don’t ever curse him.
-
Please?
-
Hello Shanaya.
-
Where are you?
-
I’m on the road to the site.
-
How come you called?
-
I spoke to Aunty Sitwat.
-
She seemed a little upset.
-
Why?
-
What you and Waleed did with Azka -
-
Come on Shanaya.
-
Are you also now going to favor that stupid girl like Mom?
-
Have you any idea about what you did, Azlan?
-
You hurt that innocent girl.
-
So, what should I do?
-
Should I beg at her feet…
-
and ask her for her forgiveness or what?
-
When one makes a mistake, one should apologize.
-
Shanaya, enough!
-
I don’t want to talk about this.
-
What you did was wrong Azlan.
-
And there’s no harm in admitting when one is wrong.
-
Did you call just to say all this?
-
No.
-
All I called to say was, don’t ever insult anyone ever again.
-
That girl got herself insulted.
-
No Azlan, you humiliated her.
-
Was it only because he’s your friend?
-
And she’s just a simple maid in your house?
-
It’s not fair.
-
If she’s a maid
-
then she should know her place.
-
And do you know your place?
-
Anyways I don’t want to argue with you right now.
-
But whatever I’ve said to you…
-
do think about it…
-
...Please.
-
Yes, roger that!
-
Have the guests arrived?
-
Ma’am, all of you please stay in the studio.
-
There’s a violent and unruly mob outside creating a
-
ruckus probably because of your program.
-
Shoaib stay here and you come with me.
-
Because of me?
-
Let me go and see.
-
I can’t allow you to go out ma’am, so please.
-
I’ll go speak to them.
-
Is it governed by the law of the jungle
-
anyone can just come over start a violent fight when so ever they want to!
