-
Don’t talk nonsense!
-
He’s lying!
-
I saw him there myself!
-
Azlan
-
is now trying to put his hand into the lion’s den.
-
...And he’s no ordinary man.
-
He’s far more intelligent
and a lot braver than Ghias.
-
Ahhh!!!
-
My dear benefactor,
-
today was my first day at college.
-
And I don’t think…
-
I’ve ever felt such a wondrous feeling …
-
as I did today.
-
I feel as if my feet arent touching the ground - its as if I’m flying.
-
I’m finally on my way to becoming a doctor -
-
Doctor Azka Rehman.
-
My name will look so beautiful.
-
...And the credit for this, that too goes to you.
-
Thank you so very much for giving me the confidence
-
and support to walk down this path of belief.
-
Since you aren’t here before me...
-
therefore, I’ve decided to write these letters to you.
-
As I feel, I might probably get tongue-tied if you actually stand in front of me.
-
Its why I’m hoping that these letters of mine will show you
-
That since day one….
-
how very grateful I was to you and how I was praying for you.
-
May God always keep you in happiness and blessed.
-
Your well-wisher, Azka Rehman
-
Its really lamentable that you all let that driver leave!
-
He was the actual pawn that would have led us to the killers!
-
How did he even get bail!
-
I understand your situation but we had no hard evidence.
-
Hard evidence?
-
Are you kidding me?
-
Evidence will only be found if searched for!
-
Had you all kept him in jail for a couple of days he would have toldus everything!
-
We’re helpless as well.
-
I know the helplessness you all have all too well.
-
Tell me the reason?
-
Was it political pressure or - how much money do you want?
-
- Two, six, ten crores???
-
Tell me right now and I’ll transfer it into your account.
-
Wali, look at me.
-
You know I’m right and I don’t say things just like that.
-
Azlan I’m your friend.
-
And I’m standing by you no matter what the circumstances.
-
But when we are asked by our seniors as to what crime
-
and proof we have to arrest someone, then we have to present the proof!
-
...Where was I supposed to get that proof?
-
This was all on a mere suspicion of yours.
-
I don’t want to listen to this political nonsense.
-
These are all lame excuses and you know it as well.
-
Setting him free is an advantage.
-
What advantage?
-
We free him.
-
He’s going to then go meet someone.
-
Which in turn means us getting Intel on him.
-
Only after that happens will we be able to catch the guy!
-
Please Wali!
-
I don’t trust any of you anymore.
-
Seems I will have to do whatever needs to be done.
-
You will not do anything wrong Azlan.
-
I don’t know whats right or wrong.
-
But I do know one thing
-
and that is that I will make sure my wife’s killers are punished.
-
You watch!
-
Oh hey Mr. Driver.
-
Make sure you transport and bring back Azka carefully.
-
And you were a full half hour late yesterday.
-
Where were you?
-
Who are you to question me?
-
I’m Azka’s husband to be!
-
Oh okay, okay, I didn’t know.
-
Well now you know.
-
Yes, yes.
-
You now need to do as I’m telling you to do or else it will be the worse for you.
-
Give me your name and number.
-
Whats your name?
-
Its Jawed.
-
Give me your number.
-
0333 -
-
Fine.
-
Now remember, I’m a real blackguard.
-
What do you think you’re doing???
-
I’m not doing anything.
-
I’m just making sure of your safety.
-
Your safety is my duty as well you know.
-
Mind your own business.
-
But you are my most important business.
-
And then one has to keep an eye of these guys… these cab drivers, they’re really vile people.
-
I’m not like that Sir.
-
Lets go Mr. Jawed.
-
Don’t pay attention to anything he says.
-
He’s a useless, good for nothing.
-
But Miss, he was claiming to be your fiance.
-
He was lying.
-
That’s exactly what I was thinking, look at him and then look at you!
-
I’ll have a word with my sister-in-law.
-
She’s set him to rights.
-
The man’s quite hostile and one to start a brawl.
-
Please don’t mention my name.
-
Don’t worry.
-
Yes Azlan?
-
What did you want to talk to me about son?
-
I wanted to ask you something aunty.
-
Go ahead.
-
The day Shanaya was murdered…
-
that day….
-
what else happened throughout that day?
-
Uh…
-
When Sultan’s family took back the case,
-
Shanaya was quite upset, she was worried…
-
and then she very quickly gave me a kiss on my cheek and left.
-
I… I think she went to Sultan’s house.
-
But… what happened after that… I have no idea.
-
I know nothing about what happened after that.
-
Do you have Sultan’s home address?
-
Yes, there’s a file of their case in Shanaya’s bedroom.
-
I’m sure there’s an address in that.
-
I’ll go home and then text it to you.
-
Please.
-
Thank you.
-
No problem.
-
Azka?
-
Yes?
-
I think we’re going to the same class?
-
Yes, that’s right.
-
Then what’s your rush?
-
Uh…
-
But why do you want to delay me from getting to class?
-
Its because I think you’re different.
-
How’s that?
-
I mean… uh… from your way of thinking to your get up,
-
everything is very different… very simple, very innocent.
-
Okay…
-
you think so?
-
But I don’t think so.
-
Really?
-
Then why don’t you yourself tell me what you think.
-
I think that even I’m also like the rest of the girls.
-
And then how you dress is your own choice.
-
If I wore such clothes then even I would look modern.
-
I don’t think you’ll look different even then…
-
because many people change their get up just to hide their inner simplicity.
-
...But in actual fact it doesn’t go with their personality.
-
I think…
-
that you’re very nice the way you are.
-
Please stay that way you are, simple.
-
Okay so tell me, what do you think of me?
-
Uh… Do I seem like the other guys or do I seem different?
-
You’re good at making observations so why ask me.
-
Look I don’t think that there’s any harm in my asking and you telling me what you think.
-
Uh…
-
Since you are asking,
-
let me tell you one thing.
-
See there are some boys who one just does not like, so much
-
so that one doesn’t even feel like speaking to them.
-
But you are not at all like that!
-
Okay well that’s good then that I’m at least in a list of nice people.
-
I mean …You can talk to me.
-
Hello!
-
What are you two laughing about so much?
-
One cant always tell you everything now can one.
-
Really!
-
Have you two gotten that far?
-
You are too much Humna!
-
Come on, hurry up!
-
Its time for the class!
-
Wait! Listen! Listen! Listen!
-
Dear students, I have the result of your first test.
-
I’m happy because you all made a great effort.
-
...But the best result was Miss. Azka Rehman.
-
I am going to upload Miss. Azka Rehman’s paper
-
Do have a look at it and learn from it on how to give a good exam.
-
Thank you.
-
Thank you Sir.
-
Wow, oh wow!
-
Thank you.
-
Thank you.
-
Thank you.
Thank you.
-
Thank you.
Thank you.
-
Oh wow Azka, congratulations.
-
I never knew that my competition was with someone who was afraid of lizards.
-
Why? Hasn’t my success made you happy?
-
Had we not been friends then definitely not.
-
Right now I feel as if it was my own success.
-
Oh ho!
-
By the way Zain,
-
if you paid more attention to your studies than Azka….
-
I think you could get better marks….
-
Hmm… you’re right about that as well.
-
Alright then, I’m going to the library.
-
By the way Azka.
-
Hmm?
-
Isn’t Zain taking way too much interest in you?
-
Stop talking nonsense.
-
Oh hey Azka, wait, listen to me!
-
Stop showing me attitude.
-
He stares at you time and time again during the whole lecture!
-
I wonder whether he even takes down any notes of the lecture.
-
And he’s even more impressed by you now after this test.
-
Forget about him and tell me about yourself.
-
What are you noting down at the time?
-
Nothing.
-
To tell you the truth I’m not at all interested in studying.
-
Anyways forget me…
-
and focus on Zain and yourself.
-
I have a feeling he’s fallen in love with you.
-
Fallen in love?
-
Yes!
-
This is not how one falls in love.
-
Besides we’ve hardly known each other that many days.
-
Please keep your useless theories to yourself.
-
This love is going to become quite evident very soon.
-
If you want, I can give it to you in writing!
-
Mom?
-
This air you blow on me won’t make a difference.
-
This isn’t just air I blow on you my love,
-
they’re prayers.
-
I know you have no faith in them…
-
but I do.
-
You stand by your beliefs…
-
and I’ll stand by mine.
-
And my belief is….
-
that whatever needs to be done has to be done by oneself.
-
God does nothing for one.
-
Please don’t be so doubtful.
-
Nothing in this world moves without His command.
-
A person cannot even take a breath without His command.
-
What did He achieve by killing Shanaya!
-
Only He knows the secret to that.
-
We will never know His reasons for it.
-
I really needed Shanaya.
-
We’d just started our life together.
-
I couldn’t even feel her love properly.
-
He stole Shanaya from me.
-
I cried and begged Him ….
-
for Shanaya’s life.
-
But what did He do?
-
He showed me that prayers useless.
-
They mean nothing.
-
One doesn’t always know why He does what He does immediately, son.
-
One only knows when He feels it’s time for one to know.
-
Shanaya’s killers haven’t been punished.
-
What’s good about that?
-
It’s my belief and my conviction, son…
-
that if something isn’t happening…
-
then there has to be a good reason for it.
-
And my belief and conviction is…
-
that work that isn’t getting done…
-
is because one doesn’t want to do it oneself.
-
Oh Lord….
-
Have mercy on him.
-
You are the only one who understands the pain in his heart.
-
Please also give him the antidote for his pain.
-
Please forgive him my Lord...
-
and give ease to his mind and heart.
-
Hello?
-
Azlan, the CCTV footage of a particular area that you wanted to watch…
-
It’s here.
-
Come watch it at my office tomorrow.
-
Not tomorrow, today.
-
Can you send it to me right now?
-
Right now?
-
Yes, right now.
-
Alright let me see what I can do.
-
By the way, thanks.
-
Buddy you’re going to get me killed.
-
This means that ….
-
Sultan’s daughter...who got kidnapped…
-
Shanaya had the proof of having gone missing.
-
Arbab Haroon is definitely behind her daughter’s having been kidnapped.
-
He did it in order to make sure they took back their case.
-
He was also the one that got Shanaya killed.
-
Arbab Haroon,
-
I’m not going to leave you now.
-
Your car isn’t here as yet?
-
No, I’m waiting for it.
-
I don’t exactly like seeing you waiting around like this.
-
But I’m really sorry that I can’t even offer you a ride either as I have a motorbike.
-
I don’t think it seemly for a girl to be dropped home on the back of a classmate’s motorbike.
-
Personally speaking I don’t like it either.
-
Had you even suggested it I would have refused.
-
By the way, our thinking is really similar.
-
You’re quite reserved …
-
and well-mannered.
-
Why do you always try to find similarities between us?
-
What I said just now is something which any ordinary, normal person would do and say.
-
The thing is that…
-
if you could only see it through my eyes youwould know just how special you are to me.
-
I have a feeling he’s fallen in love with you.
-
This love is going to become quite evident very soon.
-
If you want, I can give it to you in writing!
-
From your way of thinking to your get up, everything is very different…
-
very simple, very innocent.
-
Right now, I feel as if it was my own success.
-
Focus on Zain and yourself.
-
I have a feeling he’s fallen in love with you.
-
Fallen in love?
-
Yes!
-
This is not how one falls in love.
-
Besides we’ve hardly known each other that many days.
-
Please keep your useless theories to yourself.
-
This love is going to become quite evident very soon.
-
If you want, I can give it to you in writing!
-
If you could only see it through my eyes,
-
you would know just how special you are to me.
-
Azka?
-
Come, come eat.
-
Ma’s cooked a real delicious pilaf!
-
Alright sister-in-law.
-
All well?
-
You’re all smiles.
-
Yea?
-
What’s up?
-
I got the highest marks in my class, sister-in-law.
-
My marks were even higher than the girl that topped in the board exam!
-
Oh my god!
-
Oh god, Azka!!!
-
God be praised! God be praised! Very many congratulations!
-
Continue to put your whole heart into studying like this!
-
Well done! I’m going to feed you food with my own hands today!
-
Congrats! Congrats!
-
Just keep surprising everyone like this now.
-
Everyone was saying…
-
You don’t talk, you don’t do anything and
-
yet you managed to surprise everyone.’
-
Oh wow.
-
All my classmates were happy for me.
-
How many times have I told you to not leave the house at night.
-
Have you seen the time?
-
Its three in the morning.
-
What’s wrong dad?
-
I was with friends.
-
And beside all the guys do this.
-
You’re the only one that scolds me
-
otherwise none of my other friends’ parents have ever said anything to them to date.
-
You just got saved for a huge problem.
-
Your friends have never gone through this kind of situation.
-
But you’re the one who always say…
-
that problems are a part of life.
-
If you ever get stuck in a situation again...
-
I will not save you the next time
-
Just remember that.
-
I know
-
that you will save me no matter what the problem may be.
-
Do you know why that is?
-
It’s because ...
-
I love you and you love me a lot!!!
-
Because you are my mom and dad all rolled into one.
-
Do you know…
-
how I’ve raised you after your mother’s death….
-
only I know
-
You are…
-
however taking undue advantage of my love for you.
-
I am taking advantage…
-
but not ‘undue’ advantage.
-
Go on then, its getting late.
-
Go to bed.
-
And next time let me know where you’re going.
-
Okay, goodnight.
-
We kept our daughter unmarried and at home for two years at their behest!
-
And they didn’t show even an ounce of regard when breaking the engagement?!
-
I swear to God…
-
but what has this world come to
-
where they don’t even care about someone’s feelings and or helplessness?
-
You’re absolutely right Munazza.
-
But why don’t you also consider the fact …
-
that the greed of those people became apparent because of it.
-
And then you went and broke the engagement without even a second thought Mudassar!
-
Yes, so what else was I supposed to do?
-
They were asking for ten lac rupees as dowry.
-
And Munazza…
-
people who make such huge demands before will never stop doing so later!
-
As time goes on their demands will continue to increase.
-
For how long would I have been able to fulfill those demands?
-
Enough said…
-
now just pray to God and ask Him to destines our daughter for something better.
-
My intelligent and capable daughter…
-
has been sitting home for two years after having done her MSc!
-
They said we don’t want her to work!
-
Because of it we didn’t let her study further…
-
and nor did we allow her to work!
-
At the time of breaking the match…
-
They didn’t even give it a single thought….
-
They didn’t even bother…
-
Greetings!
-
Greetings.
-
What’s wrong mummy…
-
why are you crying???
-
Mummy?
-
Dad?
-
What’s wrong?
-
Why don’t you tell me what’s happened?
-
What do I tell you?
-
Zunaira’s in-laws came by today.
-
Their son has to go abroad for his studies…
-
so ….
-
they were asking for ten lac rupees.
-
Ten lac rupees???
-
Yes.
-
It’s why I broke the engagement.
-
You were absolutely right to do so, dad.
-
What’s so right about what he’s done, tell me!
-
Whats so right about it?
-
The breaking of one’s daughter’s engagement is considered as a disgrace!
-
Do you know the kind of gossip it creates!
-
And what about those people that are going about demanding dowry aloud???
-
Aren’t they disgraceful!
-
Look son,
-
I feel…
-
that till the time we as the parents of daughters keep fulfilling the demands of parents of boys…
-
...they will continue to feel encouraged.
-
You’re absolutely right, dad.
-
And besides is our Zunaira lesser than anyone?
-
She’s beautiful and educated!
-
Don’t worry, God willing, she will get a very good proposal.
-
Alright son.
-
Only God can now find a way…
-
otherwise, I’ve come to the conclusion that most people have become quite greedy.
-
Dad…God willing…
-
Everything will turn out fine.
-
Don’t worry
-
Don’t worry, mummy.
-
Isn’t it just so sad, Shanaya …
-
That while you were alive….
-
I never brought flowers for you even once.
-
You didn’t have the time and neither did I.
-
Sometimes we get so busy in our lives… running and running…
-
that we don’t even realize that we’ve lost so much along the way.
-
Where time went…
-
we don’t know until it’s gone and it’s too late.
-
Yes Ahsan?
-
Sir, they’re waiting for you at the meeting. Everyone’s present.
-
Please come as soon as possible.
-
Shanaya,
-
life has like stopped after you left.
-
Success…
-
the obsession to collect money,
-
it’s all gone.
-
You took everything that was me with you when you left.
-
I can’t do it anymore
-
What do I do?
-
Where do I go?
-
I’ve lost.
-
I’m tired.
-
Please don’t be so sad.
-
You’re the one that’s always said that whatever God does is for the best.
-
So just believe that there must be something better for you in this as well.
-
I do understand that you became attached to brother Salman.
-
But then you also need to understand that he should also have stood up for you.
-
His parents made a huge demand.
-
The engagement broke because of it.
-
And he hasn’t bothered to call you even once.
-
Look I’m going to speak to you today as your elder brother rather than your younger brother.
-
There are many times in ones life where ones faith and belief will be tested.
-
And if you have any faith in God
-
then believe that whatever happens will happen for the best for you.
-
Just accept that this man is unworthy of you.
-
Oh hey why are you crying???
-
You have your brother don’t you.
-
Your brother will take all your pain unto himself.
-
Look around you.
-
There are so many people that love you.
-
I’m there, mummy is there, daddy is there.
-
All of us understand your feelings.
-
So why don’t you also try to understand our feelings as well.
-
Sisters who have a brother like you
-
Why would they need to worry?
-
I promise you;
-
I’m not going to cry now.
-
Alright, now wipe away these tears
-
And you are not going to cry now.
-
Okay?
-
You go on and I’ll bring the tea.
-
Okay.
-
Thank you.
-
Excuse me!
-
Where’s Sultan’s house… the one who had the accident.
-
Third lane on the right.
-
Ask anyone there and they’ll tell you.
-
That way?
-
What’s going on?
-
Such a rich man…
-
Something’s not right.
-
Mr. Azlan?
-
You and here?
-
Greetings.
-
Gr… greetings.
-
I’d heard about Sultan’s death so I’ve come to offer my condolences.
-
May I come in?
-
Ye.. yes of course, please come in.
-
Come in.
-
Come in.
-
This way…come.
-
This way…come.
-
Kanwal!
-
Kanwal, please come here.
-
Okay Ma.
-
Looks who’s here.
-
Azlan.
-
Shanaya’s husband.
-
You may have heard of me.
-
Yes, yes… yes, I know you well.
-
Uh… Azka?!
-
Come down Azka.
-
Come see who’s here.
-
Greetings.
-
Greetings.
-
Azka, why don’t you go make some tea for Mr. Azlan and bring it.
-
He’s come to offer his condolences over Sultan’s death.
-
Uh… Please have a seat.
-
Azka, make sure you brew some good tea child.
-
And get something to eat as well, I’m sure there must be something around.
-
You actually think he’s going to eat something at our house?
-
Why wont he eat it?
-
...Just get it out and serve it that’s it.
-
And listen, make sure you serve the tea in the good china.
-
Yes, that right.
-
Alright now make the tea well, good girl.
-
The number you have dialed is at present switched off.
-
Mr. Ahsan, where is Mr. Azlan???
-
The delegation is waiting for him in the conference room!
-
He’s the one I’ve been calling but his cell phone is switched off.
-
What do I do?
-
Did you not tell him about the meeting?
-
I reminded him several times.
-
I don’t know what’s wrong with him because he’s forgetting everything these days.
-
Oh no.
-
Look the only reason he’s here is to meet Mr. Azlan.
-
And if this meeting gets canceled we’ll sustain a huge loss!
-
Mr. Danish…Why don’t you then advise me on what to do?
-
Here why don’t you hear this yourself.
-
The number you have dialed is at present switched off.
-
Please try later.
-
Now tell me, what should I do?
-
How is madam?
-
She’s fine.
-
Where’s your daughter?
-
She’s… uh… upstairs in the room.
-
When she got kidnapped,
-
Did you register a report with the police?
-
What are you saying?
-
What sort of mother are you?
-
Your daughter gets kidnapped,
-
your husband is killed
-
and his killers are going around Scot free…
-
and you don’t even get a report registered?
-
Are you able to sleep at night?
-
you don’t have any children Mr. Azlan…
-
That is probably why you don’t understand the condition of a mother’s heart.
-
...When her daughter is in hands of unlawful men.
-
On one hand you worry about her respect on the other and you’re worried about her life!
-
How were we to get a report registered?
-
Tell me?
-
Yes, we didn’t get anyone to help us
-
and maybe that’s the reason why she’s still alive today!
-
And what of Shanaya?
-
She was someone who gave her life for your husband and your daughter!
-
Huh??? What about her?
-
We’d warned her not to get involved in the matter.
-
We’ve appointed the One above as our Lawyer.
-
He will get us our justice now!
-
Yes! She was stupid - for taking on a war for people like you!
-
People who didn’t stand by her at the end!
-
Huh?
-
I warned her from way before
-
saying that these people are not the kind that one should do something for them.
-
Yes we’re not of the ‘kind.’
-
We didn’t do anything.
-
You’re so powerful!
-
...So very rich.
-
Hmm?
-
What have you done thus far?
-
They killed your wife right in front of you before leaving!
-
What have you or your law done to get justice for her???
-
Tell me?
-
Mr. Azlan, we are very weak people…
-
please don’t talk like this -
-
One minute Ma!
-
All he knows is how to talk!
-
Had it been his own daughter that would have been kidnapped,
-
I would have ask him then as to how he would have felt.
-
Whatever the case!
-
You should have still asked the law for help.
-
We did!
-
And look what happened!
-
Your wife lost her life!
-
She died!
-
We begged and pleaded with her and said,
-
‘Please don’t leap into this fire Miss. Shanaya! Don’t help us!’

-
To help liars and two-faced like you!

-
And you all are the only ones to blame for it!
-
You are the only ones to blame!!!
