Ishq-e-Laa Episode 22 [Eng Sub] 24 Mar 2022 - Presented By ITEL Mobile, Master Paints NISA Cosmetics

I will never forget this kindness .

These are just words!

Shanaya gave her life for you and you couldn’t even stand up as witnesses for her?!

I came to your house and pleaded with you!

But what did you all do?

Huh?!

I’m so sorry.

Because of whom you became a doctor…

You are her culprit…

You all are just as much a part of her murder.

Shanaya showed kindness to you all….

and you all went and sided with her killers?

Get out of my office and don’t show me your face here again!

Why are you still standing here?!

Get out!

Yes Sir?

I’m heading out for a business appointment

so kindly handle whatever needs doing during my absence.

Yes Sir.

See you.

Right Sir.

My letters will tell you….

how very grateful I was to you from the first day…

and how I would pray for you.

I wonder why she’s late coming back?

Kanwal, its been six hours and the child still isn't back.

Where can Azka have gotten to?

I’m really feeling anxious!

Ma,

I told her that to let me accompany her but you know how she never listens.

So why don’t you then phone her child?

I called her several time without you even asking me to do it but I couldn’t get through to her.

Wait, let me call her again.

There is no answer from the number you have dialed.

Her phones off.

Oh God have mercy.

Don’t worry, I’ll go see.

Look at that, she’s back.

She’s back.

Whats wrong with her?

I don’t know Ma.

I’ll go see… I’ll go.

Azka?

What’s wrong? What’s happened?

You’re crying?

At least tell me whats happened Azka?

Say something!

I’m getting very anxious Azka, tell me what happened!

Sister-in-law, do you know….

For so many years, the one who got me educated, paid theexpensive fee of my college…

and all my dues...

...do you know who that was…

do you know?

Who was it?

Sister-in-law it was… it was…

it was Mr. Azlan.

What…!

Mr. Azlan paid for all of it… the fees, everything.

What are you saying Azka!

Yes… yes…

Mr. Azlan?

Yes.

...Yes… yes… yes…

Its really making me happy to see Zainab; its been ages since I last met her.

We’re also feeling very happy seeing you Sitwat.

Zainab would often ask after you.

Are you done with your studies my dear?

Yes aunty.

I see.

So what have you done your Masters in?

I did it in finance aunty.

Oh wow! Very good.

Yes.

Seems like Azlan’s back.

Greetings aunty, how are you?

Greetings son.

How are you?

I’m very well.

Zainab, what a pleasant surprise.

I’m seeing you after some time.

Actually mom was coming

so I thought why not tag along as it gave me a good excuse to also meet you and aunty

Good.

What are you doing these days?

She’s done her Masters in finance so I think that you should now give her a job in your office.

Of course… uh… email me your resume.

Okay, I’ll email it to you.

Why don’t you two go sit and talk over there son.

Yes… uh… actually I have a conference call in ten minutes so maybe some other time?

Of course Azlan.

Work is work.

Maybe next time.

Oh… I think I’ll call for the tea.

Samrah?

Azka?

Come on then, fix your mood now.

You haven't eaten a thing all day.

Have a little food.

Alright…

come have this.

I’m not hungry.

Why take your anger out on food?

Now be good and heed me, eat a little.

Look at your state!

I cant believe that

the person I considered as my benefactor for so many years was in fact Mr. Azlan.

I wish… I wish that I hadn’t become a doctor.

And if I was to be one

then I wish it hadn't been with his money.

Now see here Azka,

God is the one that’s made you a doctor

and He made Miss. Shanaya the intermediary.

Believe you me sister-in-law,

while standing in that office, when he said that you all never repaid the debt favors we did you…

that you all didn’t help catch me Shanaya’s killers… never stood up as witnesses…

...his every word felt like a slap on my face.

I felt…

and I realized then

that we had in fact actually done nothing sister-in-law.

We never went there and bore witness.

We never helped him.

And instead, he did me this huge favor that would stay with me for the rest of my life.

He can never understand the fact that we were three lone women Azka… women who were helpless.

What could we have done?

I don’t know sister-in-law…

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

now his every sentence, every word he said will continue to haunt me.

...It will cause me anguish my whole life.

Now you listen to me Azka!

Miss. Shanaya is the one who made you a doctor and not Mr. Azlan.

If this is upsetting you and you want to thank her then… lets you and I, go visit her grave tomorrow.

You offer supplications for her every day as it is.

We’ll now go to her grave and place flowers on it, offer supplication prayers for her.

You watch it’ll give you a lot of peace.

Come in.

I need to speak to you about something Mom.

I don’t want to speak to you about anything.

Alright so tell me, why are you angry with me?

What do you mean; don’t you know why I’m angry with you?

Not at all.

How much longer am I supposed to spend my life with the walls of this house?

I’m all alone and waiting all day for you every day.

There’s no one to whom I can confide my innermost feelings.

Tell me what to do Azlan?

So what do you want to do?

Zainab is a nice girl.

I want you to marry her.

What are you saying!

You know very well that there’s no place in my life for anyone other than Shanaya.

My love, Shanaya will never return now.

Do you want to spend the rest of your life alone like this?

Yes!

No one can replace Shanaya.

No one can replace anyone Azlan.

The one that comes will make their own place.

Mom, my getting married a second time will mean my being unfaithful to Shanaya.

There’s nothing left in my heart for anyone except you.

the sooner you’ll stop causing me anguish…

and to yourself too

Aunty!

How many times have I told you not to come here?

Why do you bother???

Oh hey come on sister, its time celebrate as my wife to be has now happily become a doctor.

Feeding her some sweet meats is my duty.

Here, eat this sweet meat along with your tea… that too from my hand.

Have you no shame!

What kind of ill manners is this?

Is this how one behaves when visiting the home of respectable people?

Is this any kind of decency?

Aunty this is a happy occasion.

I haven't come here to fight.

I’ve come to celebrate Azka’s happiness.

Now you listen to me and listen well!

I have no association or any kind of relationship with you all!

The match my brother arranged, he finished right there and then!

What nonsense are you talking?

I’m not the Azka I was before.

Yes, yes, you’re now a doctor and you’ve become arrogant.

I will get rid of all your arrogance.

What will you do?

Kill me?

Well then kill me because I still wont marry you.

Do you understand?

Now pick up your basket of sweets and get out of here!

You come here daily to make a spectacle of some sort or the other.

Wow!

Seems you’ve become quite independent and found a voice!

Earlier you couldn’t even talk and now you’re spewing words like there’s no stopping you!

You study four grades and you think you’re flying high and too good for others?!

Yes, I am flying high.

I’ve now learnt to fight for what is the truth and what are my rights!

If I ever see you two in this house again it wont bode well for you.

What you’re doing isn’t right.

Yes, you’re right I am.

...But I will not marry you.

Hmm…

so are you satisfied now?

Come on then be so good as to pick up your sweets and leave.

Come along.

My dearest son, was this enough humiliation for you or would you like to get some more.

Miss. Shanaya,

I can never repay you for the kindness you have done me.

Every breath of my being is in your debt….

and I will continue to pray for you till my last breath.

I will become a volunteer and help others on your behalf.

May God accept this act…

and give you countless blessings for it!

Do you know….

Mr. Azlan really scolded me a lot…

and humiliated me…

as like always.

Maybe I should be used to it by now ….

but I can’t get used to it.

Maybe…

he is also right to a certain extent.

He doesn’t understand out helplessness.

had you been alive today.

you would have understood

With whose permission have you come here?

This place is very sacred to me so I don’t want to raise my voice here.

Please leave right now.

It won’t bode well for you if I see you here again.

I came here to pray for Miss. Shanaya.

Shanaya doesn't need your prayers.

Now please leave and don’t come here again.

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.

Lets go.

Lets go.

Azka?

What’s wrong?

Is everything okay?

Sister-in-law, Mr. Azlan showed up over there.

Where?

I never saw him!

Why didn’t you tell me!

I would have taken him to task.

What could you have done?

I would have given him a piece of mya mind.

He’s an extremely ill-mannered man!

He’s constantly humiliating!

He has no respect for anyone!

We can’t say anything to him, sister-in-law.

We are now in his debt for the rest of our lives.

That’s the only reason I remain silent.

…Otherwise after the amount of humiliation he’s shown us…

I felt like going to his house and telling him off in front of his mother

so he would remember it for the rest of his life!

No sister, we can’t do that.

But why are you so upset?

You know what upsets me sister-in-law; it’s that God has put me into debt to a man….

who doesn't even consider himself human.

He thinks he’s God!

Even God is merciful to His creations.

And Mr. Azlan, has no such thing called mercy in his heart.

Such arrogance, such conceit!

May God forgive me!

Well of course, what else.

It’s because he doesn’t think of us as being human,

he thinks we’re beneath him.

Okay look forget about him and think of your benefactor Miss. Shanaya…

and to hell with Mr. Azlan!

Don’t talk to me about the profit, tell me about the loss.

But that’s what I’m telling you Sir, we have three branches which lost around ten per cent.

Fine,

then deduct ten per cent salary from the employees of those branches.

The whole market is down and this is these are the Covid times so it would be unfair to do this Sir!

All other branches profited during this very same time.

The staff of these branches should know that if they don’t focus and pay attention to their work…

then what are they being paid for!

They need to take responsibility.

Mr. Ahsan, please let them know.

Mr. Azlan has started to consider himself as God.

He never forgives or nor does he show deference to anyone.

I don’t know where he’s going to take all that money.

He’ll take it into his grave where else.

Are you blind!

Can you not see!

Had you come under the wheels of my car I would have been blamed for the whole thing!

No Sir,

actually my wife was ill is why I was taking this fruit for her.

What do you mean your wife was sick!

Now get out of my way!!!

Don’t talk to me in a loud voice, Sir.

We are also His creations.

Get out of the way.

But what about my fruit, Sir?

How will I buy more fruit?

Have you all started a new racket now?

Is this another way of begging for charity?

Have you all no shame!

You look hale and hearty but seems you all have started this new racket now!

Sir, I am a human so kindly speak to me like a human.

Don’t try to play God otherwise you will suffer such pain in life so as to leave you speechless!

Hey, stop talking nonsense!

Now get out of the way!

Hello?

Where have you been Zain and why weren't you answering my phone calls?

Uh…

Sorry.

How are you?

How are you?

You sound upset.

I’ve been phoning you for the past two days

but you neither answered my calls and nor did you return them.

Is everything okay?

…Yes, yes, everything’s fine…

it’s just that Zunaira received a marriage proposal

so, I got a little busy with regards to that.

Alright.

Did you have a word with your family with regards to me, Zain?

No, I didn’t but I will now.

When?

Very soon.

I’ll be waiting.

I’ll speak to you later.

Why are you looking at me like this, sister-in-law?

Why don’t you tell me why?

What do I tell you?

There’s nothing to tell.

Oh really?

If there’s nothing…

then at least say it when looking at me.

This means that there is someone.

The thing is sister-in-law…

that we studied together in college and we’re friends.

Oh hey, is he the one you used to talk about?!

…

He’s a nice, decent boy.

And he’s intelligent as well.

And you also like him.

His family is like ours.

...And his parents went to great pains to educate him.

He must be quite competent as well.

Obviously since you wouldn’t marry anyone incompetent.

But I’m positive that he isn’t as competent as our Azka!

Okay so tell me, when is he sending his parents across?

It’ll be soon.

Oh god Azka,

the Lord is fulfilling all our dreams!

Just think about it,

your wish to become a doctor has been fulfilled.

And when you get married into a good family,

my dream will also be fulfilled!

I don’t know sister-in-law but I’m now afraid of the fulfillment of my dreams.

At times,

I feel as if once your dreams are fulfilled you fall into another new trial.

Now you listen to me.

You are not to jinx things by saying this.

I will rejoice and go crazy dancing when you get married!!!

Speak softly sister-in-law.

I don’t want Ma to hear us.

But frankly speaking you know the day you get married

I will have proved myself successful before your brother.

I’m feeling so happy.

Greetings.

Greetings.

Yes?

My name is Zain.

Zain Ahmed.

Oh… you used to study with Azka, right?

Yes.

Azka told me.

Come in… come inside.

Thank you very much.

By the grace of God….You are exactly what I’d heard of you.

Okay and what did you hear?

Don’t worry, it was all good things.

So, tell me, would you like some tea or something cold?

Uh… No, thank you so much.

Actually, I wanted to discuss something very important with you all…

with aunty and Azka as well.

Yes, of course.

Please have a seat.

Ma!

Ma, could you please come down.

Zain is here!

Who’s Zain?

Yes… greetings.

Greetings.

Ma, this is Zain….

and we used to study at the same medical college.

I see.

Please have a seat, son.

Actually, I wanted to discuss something important with you.

Yes, tell me?

The thing is…

Azka and I like each other.

And…

we want to get married.

What could be more wonderful than the fact …

that you two like each other and want to get married.

Isn't that right Ma?

Hmm.

It’s every parents wish to see their daughter married off withdignity and honor.

It would be best if you would send your parents over.

Uh… Actually I really tried to make them come around but they aren’t agreeing.

Which is why I thought of coming myself.

And?

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.

It would be best …

If you send your parents across.

Zain, I think you should leave right now.

Give us some time and we will let you know once we’ve thought it over.

Ma, I…

I didn’t know that Zain was going to come over to our house like this.

We do like each other, yes; but…

he told me that he would bring his parents.

Yes Azka, I know you’re telling the truth.

But is this any way to do things…

to come with a proposal without his parents?

What did he think,

that we would quietly get you married and see you off with him?

Why?

What do you lack?

Ma,

you do know don’t you,

that I will accept whatever decision you make with regards to me.

To tell you the truth,

I really didn’t like his coming over to propose like this.

Even Abid is better in this regard;

he at least is accompanied by his mother when he comes.

Ma, you’re comparing Zain to Abid?

You think that Zain is like Abid?

I am doing no such thing.

All I’m saying is…

that there is a proper way to do things.

We may be poor but we are respectable people, Azka!

Every person wants to be able to marry and see off their daughter respectably and with honor.

How…

how can you even think of such a thing?

You’re an educated girl, child?

You’re right.

You’re absolutely right, Zain should never have done this without speaking to me about it first -

No!

All I’m saying child is that…

that it takes a long period of time to earn respect…

it takes a lot of time.

...But one can lose that same respect within seconds.

A boy that couldn’t give his parents that respect,

how will he give it to you in the future?

Think it through before taking a decision.

When your heart….

truly believes and gives witness to the Oneness of God…

then you need to, whatever the problem may be - be it good or bad,

accept it wholeheartedly as a gift from Him.

Once you have accepted His will… the sense of peace you will feel is one…

that you will not get from anything else in this world.

His love …

is the most unique.

It’s different from all other forms of love of this world.

He gives aplenty …

but He also tests you.

And sometimes one is forced to wonder…

why God tests one.

Its so one is able to learn the real truth.

A person’s love also becomes pure once it goes through a trial.

Whenever you feel that you are going through such a trial in your life, bear it in silence.

...And try to keep happy during that phase.

You will definitely come out of that trial, successful…

I’ve left all my issues to You.

And I….

will try to stay remain in accordance with it.

Its true Shanaya,

I haven’t laughed openly even once after you left.

My laughter,

my smiles…

you took it all away with you.

My heart is becoming more and more restless.

Nothings pleases me anymore.

...Nothing.

What is it?

Why are you phoning me again and again?!

Why aren’t you speaking to me?

Are you angry with me?

Yes, I am angry with you!

Zain …

you should have asked me at least once before doing what you did!

Do you any idea as to the extent of my mother’s anger?

I’m really sorry.

Look Zain…

every family has certain values,

its way of doing things and we may be poor but we also have our principals.

Ma really took offence to what you did.

Azka, please try to understand what I’m telling you.

I’m fed up of constantly trying to make my parents come around!

I had no other option, other than this left to me!

What I don’t understand is why your parents aren’t agreeing?

What is the reason for it?

It’s because of my elder sister, Zunaira.

She wasn’t getting a decent proposal for some time and now that she’s got one…

...the boy’s parents are insisting on an exchange marriage.

What???

Just please stand by me on this.

Let’s get married.

What are you saying?

I don’t understand…

as to what I’m supposed to do.

I want you to meet me just once, please.

Tell me,

are you going to come meet me?

Azka?

Yes Ma?

Today is Sunday child…

are you going to the hospital?
