Ishq-e-Laa Episode 23 [Eng Sub] 31 Mar 2022 - Presented By ITEL Mobile, Master Paints NISA Cosmetics

I didn’t realize that I would need your permission to come here as well.

What do I say to you ….

when nothing anyone says affects you.

I will, however, say one thing …

that is that you are in need prayers.

I would like you to get Azka and me married.

...It’s because I can’t live without her.

I’ll bring my parents across right after the wedding.

We are respectable people, son.

We want to get our daughter and see her off with honor.

Azka?

Yes Ma?

Today is Sunday child…

are you going to the hospital?

No, I’m not going to the hospital Ma.

Then… where are you going?

When girls go to meet boys they usually lie to their families about where they’re going.

I have to go and meet Zain, Ma.

It’s important.

I have full faith in you.

I know …

you won’t make the wrong decision.

Be careful….May God keep you safe.

I was sure you would come.

Why have you asked me to come here like this?

First tell me, would you like to have tea or coffee?

I don’t want anything!

I’ve only come here to hear what you had to say

What was it that you wanted to say that couldn’t be said on the phone?

Look into my eyes for but a moment, Azka.

Don’t see my love for you in them?

Do you not see the truth in them?

We’ve spent five years of our lives together… five years Azka!

Don’t you have even a little bit of faith in me… a little trust?

I appreciate what you’re saying Zain.

When have I denied your love for me?

Then why can you not accept this… my parents’ anger is one that is momentary.

Once I marry you and take you home, all of them will accept it and come around.

But Zain,

we fell in love, we didn’t commit a sin.

Then why should I get married like some thief!

Why can you not try to understand?

I understand everything!

Tell me something Zain,

is it not my right to expect you to bring a wedding party with due respect and decorum to my home?

I have tremendous respect for your parents.

They’ve brought you up really well but…

I won’t marry you until the time they don’t come and take me in marriage with due respect.

And what if they don’t agree?

...Will you leave me then?

Greetings sister.

Brother Salim,

give my sister the best spinach

and don’t take any money from her because I’m going to pay for it.

The spinach is really good and its very clean son!

Why would you pay?

Are we some kind of homeless beggars that we’ll take money from you?

There’s no need to take his money!

Here you go uncle Salim.

Sister?

Sister?

My dearest sister!

Please listen to me.

You can do anything sister.

I will do whatever you want sister!

I will give you whatever you want!

I will give you as much money as you want!

Why?

Sister…

just get Azka married to me.

To hell with your money.

I will die but I won’t let you marry Azka.

Is that understood?!

Bloody nuisance…

Tell me?

Yes.

Do you realize what you’re saying?

Answer a question for me Zain?

Would you leave your parents for me?

When am I leaving them?

But you are hurting them.

This is what is called, hurting someone.

Those parents that raised you with such love and care.

Parents that worked really hard to make sure you got a good education.

...Parents that gave you a good status in society.

Parents that took care of your every need.

You’re going to hurt them?

What are you trying to say…

that I’m an ungrateful person?

All I’m saying is,

weigh your pros and cons; put my love on one side of the scale

and their respect and happiness on the other…

...and then decide.

How can you compare our love to my parents love - !

Why shouldn’t I?

You are rejecting their love for me today but tomorrow you might reject my love for someone else.

Don’t talk like a child.

I would never do something like that!

My heart isn’t allowing to do this, Zain.

I’m not one of those selfish girls…

who would hurt someone for their own happiness.

One can’t sell love to gain respect and then sell respect to gain love Zain…

It’s not a thing apart.

I think…

we need to break up.

Please Azka, please.

Think it over once more.

I decided this after having giving it a great deal of thought , Zain.

I don’t want your love in exchange for your parents’ happiness.

Ma, where’s Azka?

She’s didn’t tell me anything of where she was going today.

She’s gone for some important work.

Okay.

Ma…

May I say something?

Yes, what is it?

I was thinking…

that Zain is a rather nice boy…

And then….

Azka and Zain love each other as well.

So why don’t we get them married?

We’re poor people Ma, so we arent going to get the best of good proposal as it is.

Azka’s a doctor and so is Zain…

...And then his parents will eventually accept it later.

Kanwal, had Azka’s father and Sultan been alive today…

...they would never have agreed.

Both were very self-respecting and honorable people.

I’ve left the decision to Azka.

It’s up to her now.

Greetings.

Greetings.

Ma, I’ve refused Zain.

What…?

You went to meet Zain?

For the last time.

What are you saying Azka???

Sister-in-law, not everyone is destined to love someone and marry them.

Have you gone mad Azka!

Let her complete what she’s saying.

Sister-in-law,

where God blesses a person in one place,

He also tests one there at the same time.

And now while considering this to be a test for me,

I have left this matter in God’s hands.

You have made me very proud of you today.

You are indeed my daughter…

and I pray that God blesses each and everyone with a daughter like you.

Why did you refuse him Azka?

He wasn’t willing to bring his parents …

and I wasn’t willing to have a court marriage.

My daughter,

you’ve made the best decision.

God will bless you aplenty for it.

You wait and watch …

you will get an excellent proposal.

Ma, please take the thought of my marriage out of your heart.

I don’t want to marry someone else and so be unfair to that person.

Excuse me Sir.

Yes?

Sir, you have an email.

You have been nominated for the best performance award by the international banking association.

Good. That’s good…

Aren’t you happy about it, Sir?

We get awards every day.

...I’m happy.

...But there’s no need to get over excited about it either.

Yes Sir.

And besides …

we should pay more attention to our performance rather than these awards.

Anything else?

Yes Sir, you have to go on your tour of Europe.

Fine,

email me the itinerary…

and I’ll have a look at it.

The fact that we could be good friends should be more than enough for us.

What do you think Miss. Azka?

Yes.

If you could only see yourself through my eyes, you would know just how special you are.

Azka…

What’s wrong?

Are you regretting your decision?

I was just thinking sister-in-law,

that there was a time ….

when just the thought of being separated from Zain would kill me.

And now …

his love,

his caring,

the wish to live our lives together…

I ended everything.

I’ve broken off my association with Zain but…

to break away from his memories is really difficult for me sister-in-law.

You made a huge mistake in ending your association with him.

What if he had actually done as he said and made his parents come around after your marriage?

It must be so difficult to break away from someone you love so much…

and then to also be able to after that show patience and bear it in silence as well.

It’s really very difficult.

To love someone so desperately …

and then to separate oneself from that person later…

its really very difficult.

My ..

heart,

my mind…

everything’s shattered, sister-in-law.

I don’t know how I’m going to spend the rest of my life… what I’m going to do.

I don’t think anything lost even now Azka.

Just tell him to come and marry you!

...No sister-in-law,

I can’t, not now.

What kind of misbehavior is this!

Let go of my hand!

I didn’t hold your hand to let go of it.

Now you listen to me and listen well,

my mother will come to your house next week to get us married.

And if you all make a fuss this time -

What will you do?!

I will pick you up in front of the whole neighborhood, take you away and marry you!

Abid…

Have some shame

Has being slapped by a girl made you come to your senses or not?

Go away! Get out of here!

He’s not the type to feel any shame!

It’s a good that Azka slapped him.

Are you leaving or not!

Oh hey Azka?

What’s wrong?

What’s happened???

Oh hey !

Tell me what happened.

Sister-in-law, when one has no father or brother,

then anyone and everyone…

thinks they can say anything to a person.

Who’s said what to you, tell me!

Its Abid sister-in-law and his cheap conversation again.

He stood in the middle of the street and told me that he would pick

me up in front of the whole neighborhood and take me away!

That scoundrel dared to say such a thing!

I’ll have to find a solution to him.

My lady employer,

her brother’s in the police.

I’ll tell her.

Let him also know!

Yes sister, the lady is sitting right here in front of me.

She’s told me everything.

Don’t worry sister,

I’ll do whatever I can.

No, no sister,

he won’t get away with it.

Yes.

Fazal,

I’m sending a lady sitting here with me in my office to you.

Whatever she tells you…

the name of a man,

address and all just write it all down.

And yes,

I want you to get all the info on the man and give me a report on him by this evening, okay?

You need to give Mr. Fazal, who’s sitting outside,

all the details so he can write it all down in a complaint.

...And you can rest assured,

he won’t get away this time.

Thank you …

Thank you very much.

Shanaya used to tell me that you were always busy…

But you took the time out of your busy schedule for me right away…

I’m grateful to you.

No, no Sir. You came with Shanaya’s reference…

so how could I make you wait.

So tell me, me what can I do for you?

I… uh… I haven’t come here for any personal work.

Then what?

Are you well?

I’m fine.

Why do you ask?

Shanaya visited me in my dream last night.

She visits me in my dreams quite often.

She and I have a strange relationship.

...But last night…

she looked rather worried to me.

Do you know why?

Why?

She was worried about you.

Do you know something,

the one person that one loves most in this world…

more often than not, one is hurt by that very person.

And a place where one doesn’t want to bow,

one ends up bowing right there.

What does that mean?

See son…

the Lord has created humans with a great deal of love

and He has poured all His love into the hearts of those humans.

Do you know why that is?

It’s so that that His creation will then treat all His other creations with love, care and sympathy.

...So that he would be merciful to them.

But then when that being becomes void of that love, care and sympathy for His other beings…

...then His Lord…

won’t enter that person’s heart.

And when that happens, then the person goes on to become cruel and savage.

Are you trying to say that I’m being cruel to people?

But what about those…

that were unfair to me?

...The ones that visited cruelties on me?

...Ones that snatched everything from me?

...Ones that snatched my Shanaya from me.

Someone because of who’s separation…

I became like this…

somewhat crazy.

I’d even prayed to your God.

I wept and pleaded with Him.

But He didn’t spare Shanaya’s life.

As you said,

God says that treat people with love…

with kindness…

Did He show me any mercy?

Did He show me any love???

I didn’t see any.

No one is empathetic to anyone.

No one shows mercy...

...neither God,

nor His creations.

Don’t look at me with pity filled eyes!

I don’t want anyone’s pity!

I’ll be going now.

Hello?

Hello?

Seems like the wedding functions have started in your house?Congratulations.

Yes, its Zunaira’s wedding today and my engagement.

I’m about to start a new journey in my life today.

I might not be able to phone you again after today.

But remember one thing Azka,

I will never be able to forget you till my very last breath.

Do you know something Zain,

one has no control over ones memories.

...So to forget…

is not in anyone’s control.

Just make me one promise,

since you’re about to start a new journey in life …

so do it wholeheartedly.

What do you mean?

What I mean is…

that the girl you’re about to make a part of your life,

none of this is her fault is it?

Yes, I know.

...This will probably be my life’s biggest test.

Tell me something,

will you ever be able to forget me?

Although…

I know I should never have asked you this question because I know …

you will never be able to forget me…

...just like the way I’ll never be able to forget you.

But yes,

the day you do forget me,

that day I will also -

this is exactly how it is.

You’re right,

Okay listen Shireen, I’ll speak to you later.

Where are you going?

How are you?

I’m fine…

are you well?

All well, are you going somewhere?

London.

Urgent trip.

I was going to tell you but…

it slipped my mind or something.

All of a sudden?

You never told me about it earlier.

No… uh… I have some meetings with the new branch so I have to go for that.

And then the international banking community wants to give me an award so…

that’s why I’m going.

Oh.

Aren’t you happy about it?

Why should I be happy about it?

You know don’t you that it was dad’s dream…

...to see his son become a business icon.

Well, that dream of his is about to become a reality today.

Are you happy about it?

Of course!

Not everyone gets this award …

and I’m getting this reward as a result of my hard work.

...And success always makes one happy.

Success only gives you that momentary happiness.

And you…

I know exactly how happy you are.

What are you trying to say?

All I’m saying is,

open your eyes…

and face reality.

Look at where you’re standing son.

Sitwat!

Shireen, I have this extreme pain in my stomach.

What’s happened?

Where’s Azlan???

I… I’ll phone him!

No, no! Azlan left the country last night so don’t call him… don’t tell him anything.

Okay…

okay fine then, get up and lets go to the hospital

No Dr. Salman doesn't see anyone without an appointment.

Oh hey!

Oh…!

What do you mean he won’t see you!

You’re family.

Check his number. Its in my cell phone..

Oh… Oww… oh!

Hello?

Good morning, is this Dr. Salman?

Greetings Dr. Salman.

How are you?

Greetings.

Where are you Mr. Azlan?!

You didn’t come in with Mrs. Ghias today?

No… uh…

I’m in London.

All well?

Oh I see, I didn’t know you’d gone abroad.

Could you kindly tell me why mom came to you?

Is everything okay?

She’s not well.

I’ve given her some pain killers but she needs to get some urgent tests done.

What’s the issue Dr. Salman… should… should I come back right now?

It’s not such an emergency.

But do get her tests done the moment you come back.

I have referred her to a Nephrologist.

Okay.

Phew…

Greetings Suraiya aunty, have you turned up again to beguile my mother.

This is my job Azka dear.

I earn through this and I also get peoples blessings from it.

But Suraiya aunty where’s the point of you bringing a proposal for me

when I’ll just go ahead and refuse it again!

I haven't brought a proposal for you this time but if you agree I’ll set up a line of doctors for you.

Then who’s -

Uh… Suraiya.

Alright then Khatija, I’ll be going now.

Think it over and let me know.

Okay,

I will.

Who… who were you talking about -

Your sister-in-law will hear you!

Talk softly!

What do you mean?

She brought a proposal for your sister-in-law.

What…Ma!

...For sister-in-law?!

For God’s sake Azka, speak softly!

She will hear you!

I’m telling you the truth!

Will sister-in-law agree?

Hmm.

Samra?

Where’s mom?

She’s upstairs in her room.

Mom?

You’re so unwell ..

and you never informed me?

Come here.

Sit down… sit.

I didn’t want to inform you because I didn’t want to worry you.

Since when have you been feeling unwell?

I was feeling only a little sick;

its why …

I didn’t phone or inform you because it would have upset you.

But…

I became really ill all of a sudden yesterday.

You should have informed me immediately.

This is not right.

Azlan,

how could I?

You’d gone to Europe for such important meetings.

You want that I should have informed you and then got you worried and told you to come back?

...I’ve already gotten checked up by Dr. Salman…

so I’m fine.

Stop worrying.

How can I not worry?

There’s nothing in my life except you.

You’re my lifeline you know that.

And if something happened to you,

what will I have left to me?

Let me call Dr. Omar.

Yes, greetings Dr. Omar.

This is Azlan here…

with the reference of Dr. Salman.

Yes, yes, its with regards to my mom…yes.

Dr. Omar I need an appointment immediately.

How soon can I get one?

Alright thank you.

See you tomorrow.

The appointment is for tomorrow evening.

Seeing you has put life back into me.

I feel as if I’m all well now.

Just fulfill one wish for me.

Get married.

Really?

Are you emotionally blackmailing me?

Yes,

I am.

Wow.

This aunty Suraiya has lost her mind completely!

She thought to bring a proposal for me!

Really the limit.

I’m going tomorrow to break her legs myself!

Oh hey! Hey! Hey!

Such a major punishment for bringing a proposal???

Listen to me Azka,

my daughter is growing up…

and tomorrow her proposals will start coming!

She has no shame at all!

You’re right.

She should never have done this.

But sister-in-law…

just think, what if you did actually get married?

You’ve lost your mind as well.

And just look at Ma!

Does any mother-in-law ever even think to get her daughter-in-law married???

You’re right.

Never expected this of Ma.

Of course!

Yes, but sister-in-law,

you don’t have to get that angry!

...And since a proposal has come so why not think about it.

Be quiet you shameless girl!

Are you going to start talking like this as well now or what!

Really the limit!

How many times did I not tell you not to do such things.

Bad deeds always lead to misfortune.

You kept lying to me, telling me that you had left this work but...

Ma,

stop crying and wailing… just stop it!

How can I not cry…

the whole neighborhood is saying such awful things.

They only need an opportunity to do so!

Well, you gave them that opportunity.

You’ve disgraced me at this time of my life.

The whole neighborhood is spitting -

Ma, I found out that sister Kanwal is the one who registered a report against me.

It’s only a matter of a few days.

Let me get out of here just once…

and I’ll even the score with all of them!!!

Stop it! For God’s sake stop it Abid!

Why???

I’ve already gained notoriety!

I’m doing jail time and I’ve also paid the penalty!

I will now do to them that which Azka and her family will remember!

Go away Ma, just leave!

Don’t think such things…

please don’t.

Ma, I don’t need your permission to do what I’m going to do.

Don’t come and meet me here.

I’ll come meet you when my jail term is over.

Now go away.

Who can put flowers here aside from me?

Excuse me.

Greetings Sir.

Greetings.

Who placed these flowers?

Sir, a lady doctor comes here ….

every second, third day.

She first cleans the grave site…

and then she places the flowers and lights the essence.

After that she recites the Holy Quran.

Do you know her?

Maybe.

Sir, she says that your wife made her a doctor

and that she will not forget this favor for the rest of her life…

...and that she will come and pray daily at this grave.

It’s only a show.

What kind of show Sir?

Who’s going to see it?

Only one’s good deeds come in useful out here…

and those too are evident only to God and His being.

Your wife did a good deed Sir

and that good deed has turned into an act of voluntary charity that will benefit her in heaven.

This is why they say …

that one may die …

but one’s good deeds stay alive forever.

Alright enough!!!

Everyone wants to start off their lecture on religion!

Mummy?

Hmm?

Can I ask you something?

Aunty Azka was talking of you getting married.

Why are they getting you married?

You’re my mother –

only mine!

I won’t let you go anywhere!

Hey…

They were only joking.

I’m not about to get married.

I could never leave my Aliha and go!

Is that the really true mummy?

Hmm… .

Don’t worry.

There’s no such thing.

Now go to sleep calmly.
