-
Have breakfast, mom.
-
Your hunger strike won't bring her back.
-
Then you tell me how will she come?
-
Did you give her my letter?
-
I gave it in her hand.
Did she read it?
-
How would I know?
-
I thought if she read my letter, she'd not be upset with me anymore.
-
She must have not read it, mom.
-
Had she read it, she would have come back.
-
And what if she has read it?
Then?
-
Look Shireen,
-
when love couldn't stop her from leaving,
-
years of togetherness couldn't
-
how would a letter stop her?
-
Are you upset with me?
-
What is it to you?
-
If not me, then would it be the neighbors, Joya?
-
We didn't run away from home to let our love run away as well?
-
People who run away from love, Hamza,
-
love starts running away from them as well.
-
Call home, Hamza.
-
I won't be upset.
-
God knows how grandpa must be doing.
-
Maybe he'll feel better if he talks to you.
-
In fact, why don't you go and meet him?
-
He would not be in a good condition, Joya.
-
But meeting me or talking to me won't change anything.
-
He would be waiting for you, Joya.
-
Why don't you go and meet him?
-
I?
-
I would go but,
-
it would be impossible to go see grandpa without avoiding mom and grandma.
-
So meet them too.
-
Look Joya, we came here cutting all ropes binding us, not severing our relationships.
-
We have to go meet them today or tomorrow.
-
Right now I don't have the courage to face mom, Hamza.
-
Listen,
-
we'll go together and apologize to them.
-
No Hamza. Not right now.
-
They haven't even become used to living without us, right now.
-
And maybe they'll pressurize us to come back.
-
Let everything be normal and then we'll go meet them.
-
Hmm..
-
I'll get you tea.
-
Dad, I went to see Hamza.
-
I tried explaining it to him but he didn't agree.
-
Oh let him be. How would he agree?
-
Have you ever been able to make someone agree?
-
You have no tact to talk.
-
Dad, should I have beaten him and brought him here?
-
There are a lot of other ways to bring him back.
-
Dad, they aren't kids who'll come back if you scold them.
-
Or they'll come running if you bribe them with a lolly pop.
-
Try and understand, dad.
Oh you shut up!
-
Don't try and reason with me.
-
Now all of you will see, you and Hatim too.
-
I'll bring them back myself.
No. Don't you remember what brother Hatim said?
-
You'll not go to meet them or beg them to come back.
-
Beg them, my foot!
-
I am their grandfather, they aren't mine.
-
I won't go and beg them.
-
You all will see. You will.
-
They will come beg me and apologize to me.
-
What are you going to do, dad?
-
Oh..oh, oh...
-
Will you file a report against them? Don't do this dad.
-
Don't do this, this won't do any good. It will only ruin our family name,
-
and what case will you file against them? That they ran away?
-
They are husband and wife, you cannot register such a case against them.
-
Oh you shut up.
-
I'll prepare such a case,
-
that both of them will remember it.
-
What case?
-
Emergency case.
-
Here.
-
Will you send me off like this?
-
I always send you off like this.
-
I've never gotten a noisy procession.
-
Ever since we're in this house Joya, I haven't seen you smile once.
-
Oh..
-
Luqman uncle smiles broader than yours.
-
Thank God.
-
Otherwise I wouldn't have settled in the office.
-
I don't feel settled in this house alone.
-
Please come back soon.
I will today.
-
Boss is coming for tea.
-
I've already invited him Joya.
-
If I say no, it wouldn't look good.
-
Next time, I promise, I'll always invite people after confirming from you.
-
You're the boss of this house.
-
Take care.
Okay.
-
Hello doctor.
-
How are you?
-
Look I..
-
Alright, if you feel happy, calling me a doctor, so be it.
-
You're very concerned about my happiness.
-
I cannot make anyone happy.
-
In fact I've always made people upset.
-
Hamza left everyone because of my stupidity.
-
It was my fault, he should have been upset with me but lived here.
-
It wasn't your fault.
-
I told you everything last night.
-
Yes you did. But whatever you did, all of us were doing the same with them.
-
I, mom, Shireen, all of us.
-
Please stop taking this regret to your heart.
-
Try and be happy.
-
Is it easy to be happy?
Yes it is.
-
I found it difficult too.
-
But if you decide to be happy.
-
Then there is nothing less costly and easy than this.
-
Happiness is spread all around you.
-
You're saying this?
-
You?
-
Weren't you always complaining about the world and your luck like me?
-
In fact I could tell you what's in my heart, because I felt both of us had gone through the same pain.
-
We might have gone through the same pain but we think alike.
-
I've changed my thoughts. Although I had been thinking for quite some time but,
-
I was used to crying and complaining all the time.
-
But ever since Hamza and Joya left,
-
I've found a reason to be free of this unfortunate problem.
-
You're happy because Hamza and Joya left?
-
Everybody is upset because they left, they're sad and you're happy. Amazing.
-
There is a reason behind it.
-
Last night you told me what was in your heart because you took me as your own.
-
I will tell you too. But will we talk about everything while we stand here?
-
Yes. Should we go on the roof top then?
-
The rooftop, the backyard, the door,
-
there's a world outside the four walls of the house and its beautiful.
-
Lets go out somewhere and talk.
-
Outside?
-
With you?
Yes.
-
Come.
-
Hello aunty.
Hello.
-
Did you call me?
-
Yes, I heard you were here so I thought I'd see you.
-
Yes. We have to prepare for Salman's wedding.
-
I had thought I'd go with Joya and do the bride's shopping.
-
She is such a deceiver. No news about her whereabouts.
-
Is she upset?
-
Even her phone is switched off.
-
I don't know.
-
Hamza is very bad. He isn't answering my calls.
-
Give me her address, I'll go ask her.
-
Her house address?
-
Yes.
-
I had thought that if she asks about meeting me or talks to me,
-
I wouldn't talk to her.
-
But I will go now. I'll go and fight with her.
-
As it is, I do miss her.
-
You just give me her address.
-
I don't have her address.
-
Joya's house address. Your daughter's address.
-
Nobody has it.
-
Even Hamza's father and grandfather don't have it.
-
They left without telling us.
-
Really?
-
I had thought you'd know something.
-
That I would ask you for her address but,
-
What happened that both of them just,
-
Who did they fight with?
-
Hello sir.
-
Hello.
Please welcome.
-
Sir you didn't have to. Thank you. Please.
-
This way.
-
Joya? Joya..
-
Sir you didn't have to.
-
Please sir have a seat.
-
Sir, my wife Joya.
-
Joya.. Sir Manzoor.
-
Sir please. Take a seat.
-
Lets sit here.
-
Hmm..
-
We shouldn't have come here.
-
You're right. We shouldn't have come here like this.
-
I wanted to come on your scooter with you.
-
You paid the rikshaw, 80 rupees uselessly.
-
No. We shouldn't have come on the scooter,
-
I mean, a boy and a girl, meeting secretively like this.
-
It isn't considered good.
-
First of all, you called me a girl.
-
But you aren't a boy from any angle.
-
And secondly, we aren't meeting secretively.
-
What do you mean? What if someone sees us here,
-
wouldn't we hide?
-
I won't hide. Why would I hide? We're here to talk.
-
The weather is good and we're enjoying it too. What's wrong about it?
-
Look, our society doesn't think of it as good.
-
Our society wants a lot of other things from us, doctor.
-
That we should move on in life.
-
Our living alone is not liked much by this society.
-
And we have only been stalling the society in this matter.
-
What are you trying to say?
-
These past few days have taught me something.
-
And I want to teach you the same thing now.
-
Sir you didn't have to be so formal.
You sent me a lot of gifts last night and now this.
-
Would I have come to my daughter's house empty handed?
-
That was for your new house and new life.
-
This is for my daughter.
-
She is just like my daughter.
-
You should have brought your daughters along.
Yes.
-
I only have one daughter and she doesn't live with me.
-
Oh. Sir, where does she live? I mean,
-
she lives with her husband.
-
Daughters look good when they're living happily in their own houses.
-
Oh. So she's married.
-
Sorry, I just..
-
You could have brought your wife.
-
She too, doesn't live with me. For a long time,
-
we have been separated.
-
She must have been someone's daughter too.
-
Yes.
-
We only like our own daughters living happily with their husbands.
-
We should think the same about other's daughters as well, so that they live happily settled.
-
Joya. What are you saying?
-
Sorry sir, actually Joya means..
Let her say it, Hamza.
-
She's right.
-
I made a mistake. All of us.
-
We live happily with our mothers, sisters and daughters, even after so many arguments.
-
Even if we don't like what they say or think.
-
But a husband wife's relationship is very sensitive.
-
And sometimes its very outrageously ungrateful.
-
If you want to live with it, you can live together all your life.
-
And if you don't,
-
it only takes a moment.
It must have taken you a moment,
-
but someone's entire life is spent that way.
-
Its wasted.
-
No single person is at fault and not only a single person suffers.
-
Both of them suffer a big loss.
-
Wrong.
-
Even if its both of their fault but only one gets to suffer from the punishment.
-
Not the man, not the woman.
-
But their children.
-
The same they do not think about when they are separating.
-
I had always complained about my fate.
-
First of all, I complained about not having a father.
-
Then this that mom valued Shireen over me.
-
I envied because Shireen was clever and more intelligent than me.
-
She was confident and I..
-
I was pressurized easily.
-
I wasn't even intelligent enough to excel in my studies.
-
I couldn't even handle the household chores.
-
Just like me.
-
I too have always been under self pity comparing myself to my brother Hatim.
-
He's intelligent and very sensible.
-
He has the knack for business.
-
And I cannot even earn good.
-
I cannot handle the worldly affairs too.
-
On top of that I got a husband who only fanned my insecurities.
-
He made me believe that I had a very average face.
-
That he did me a favor by marrying me.
-
And I could neither bring a degree within a night,
-
nor I could look like Reema.
-
So what did I do?
-
I tried to serve him day and night to make a place in his heart.
-
But..
No use.
-
Yes, he too left me.
-
Now Shireen and I were on the same level.
-
But no. I again found an excuse to underestimate myself.
-
That she had something that I didn't.
-
A general store?
Oh not that.
-
Joya.
-
Shireen had Joya and I didn't have a child.
-
So I tried to lessen my hurt getting involved with Joya.
-
Your story is getting a bit long.
-
So tell me the last chapter. How did it change your mind?
-
After Joya and Hamza ran away.
How?
-
I always had a complaint.
-
I always thought God had been unfair to me by not giving me a child.
-
But look, Shireen's own daughter didn't even think twice before leaving her.
-
And Hamza left Hatim.
-
And secondly I learnt that we shouldn't wait for happiness.
-
Happiness is what you get when you strive for it.
-
Like Joya and Hamza dared.
-
No. We will have to disagree here.
-
This isn't daring. This is being selfishness
-
I don't call it selfishness but doing one's own self a favor.
-
If nobody is doing you any good, you can do it yourself.
-
And I'm doing it too. Doing myself good.
-
You should do it too because nobody will think about us.
-
And nobody will come to make us happy.
-
We will have to find reasons to be happy ourselves.
-
As long as we're alive, we'll have to live.
-
And not crying. But smiling.
-
Should we have an ice cream?
-
Ice cream? I have a sore throat.
-
Nothing will happen. Come.
Its next to this. Come.
-
Oh you scoundrel, unloving,
-
inconsiderate.
-
Don't you remember how many favors I have done for you?
-
This is the time to return the favor.
-
Oh let it be.
-
Deception? What fraud?
-
I know you too well. You haven't been selling prayer beads yourself.
-
Now you're telling me what's right and what's wrong.
-
Oh. Enough. This isn't tough for you.
-
Listen to me you.. Tomorrow,
-
Hatim will call you.
-
Run and come here.
-
Listen, sit..
-
What got into you today?
-
Why did you have to be so over smart and say everything?
-
I didn't say anything wrong.
-
Whether right or wrong, why did you say it Joya?
-
And that too, to my boss.
-
So what happened Hamza?
What could happen at the most?
-
He will mind what I say and fire you. Let him do that.
-
Wow Joya.
-
This is so easy for you to say that he'll fire me. As if jobs grow on trees.
-
How will I pay the rent for this big house?
-
How will I fulfill all these new responsibilities?
Hamza..
-
You know I can live with you no matter what your financial situation is.
-
I can eat less and live in a shack too.
-
You have lost it Joya, especially after watching those Indian films from the 80s.
-
I'll get this cable off first thing in the morning.
-
Joya, wives want their husbands to be successful.
-
They want hordes of things and you,
-
you're planning to live in a shack.
-
Can't you see me successful?
Hamza..
-
If you get success by lying and buttering someone up, I don't want it.
-
Joya, you know, someone sensible said it right.
-
There is a woman behind every successful man.
-
Who cannot see him successful and drag him down. And you're that woman.
-
Yes I am that. That woman.
-
She'll live in a shack with me.
-
It might be a moment for you but someone's entire life is wasted like this.
-
It might be both of their fault but only one has to suffer.
-
Not the man, not the woman but their children.
-
The same that they don't think about while separating.
-
First I had my doubts.
-
Now I believe it.
-
What?
-
That you have something against your mother and sister in your heart.
-
You have a grudge against us.
Oh come on.
-
What did I do now?
-
You always had a long face and cried all the time. You were never happy with us.
-
And ever since Joya left us, tearing our hearts apart,
-
you cannot hold back your smile.
-
You're always blushing and smiling?
Really? Is that so mom?
-
Oh.. my cheeks have a blush.
-
They're getting pinker.
-
Oh wow!
You unfortunate woman..
-
What are you celebrating?
Enough mom.
-
Enough. You've called me unfortunate today. Never call me that again.
-
You can say whatever you like, I'll listen to it.
-
But not unfortunate.
Oh come on..
-
You spent your entire life trying to prove yourself unfortunate.
-
Oh mom, I haven't spent my entire life. If life is for four days,
-
I've only spend a quarter of it. One and a quarter is still left.
-
Have you lost it? Control yourself.
-
All your accusations are true, Joya.
-
I confess I hadn't really given you a thought.
-
But Shireen, she might or not had been a good wife.
-
She always thought about you.
-
And she proved that she is a good mother.
-
Here. Eat.
I'm not hungry.
-
You make a mistake yourself and then you go on a hunger strike.
-
You learned this from grandpa, didn't you?
-
You still think I was wrong?
-
We'll discuss this later. But while I'm here you won't sleep hungry or upset.
-
Here. Take it.
-
If you love me so much, why do you fight with me?
-
I can ask the same question. If you fight so much with me, why do you love me so?
-
Oh.. look what is happening to me..
-
Oh.. oh its paining.
What happened dad?
-
Its hurting a lot.
Oh..
-
Luqman must have played those sad songs last night.
-
I've told him a thousand times not to do it because they give you a headache.
-
Oh.. But he didn't play the songs last night.
-
Then it must be your knees. Its starting to get cold.
-
Do you want me to put heater in your room or get you a massage?
-
Oh.. its not my head, its my heart.
Dad you'll have to bear this pain all your life now.
-
There is no solution to it.
There is a solution. The doctor might have one.
-
A cardiologist doesn't have any treatment for such a pain, dad..
-
You donkey. Gama's son, Dr. Maja, he's a cardiologist.
-
Oh you're talking about that pain?
Yes..
-
I thought it was another pain.
What another?
-
The heartache..
You get lost..
-
You're joking and I have this pain.
Dad at least point to your heart correctly.
-
Where is that? Oh..
-
Most of it has settled, the rest will settle down too.
-
You tell me.
What should I tell you?
-
Anything new. What's going on in Prem Gali?
-
You know uncle Hidayat,
-
he has become so quiet these days.
-
He's always sitting at the tea stall very quietly.
-
And that day Shocky was wearing shorts when he passed by him,
-
but he didn't say anything to him. And Rani came to the door without her veil,
-
he didn't say anything to her. Uncle Hidayat?
Yes.
-
Send Mr. Mushtaq to me.
-
Tell me more about Prem Gali.
-
And that mom has found another proposal for Rani. If things don't work out now,
-
this would make a century of proposals coming in for Rani.
-
And aunt Haseena will get all the credit.
-
What else?
-
Also Fari is upset with you and Joya. She's very angry.
-
Really?
-
Tell her to vent out on Firdaus.
-
She is venting out on Firdaus, but the one who is going to be my wife.
-
Tell me more.
What more? Am I a newspaper?
-
I told you everything.
Tell me about your tenants, how are they?
-
Abdul Maria is finding a new place for himself. I'm spared.
-
But they'll leave after the wedding.
Really?
-
But poor Sukhi, he's very sick these days.
-
Sukhi.. Why?
-
His fever doesn't come down.
-
Oh..
-
I didn't ask about him since so many days. I'll meet him today.
-
Tell me more, whats happening in Prem Gali?
-
I know who you want to listen about.
-
You tell me about yourself. You must be enjoying a lot in your new house.
-
All alone.
-
Nobody to stop or taunt. Living in luxuries.
-
I don't know.
-
Ever since we have come to this house, I've fought with Joya so many times.
-
Fought?
-
About what?
-
God knows, sometimes she wants to argue and sometimes its me.
-
Sometimes she's upset and sometimes I..
-
Well, we'll keep talking but tell me about Prem Gali.
-
I will not tell you. And especially not about them.
-
If you're worried about them. Go and see what condition they are in.
-
You've spoil the taste of tea for me.
-
Should I go get Mr. Mushtaq myself? Do I need to send an invitation? I've been calling him.
-
Send him to my room.
-
Oh my God.. I'm dying.
Dad be strong.,
-
Oh.. How can I be strong to die?
Dad, not dying, you came inside to lie down,
-
I'll take you to the hospital and get a doctor.
I am not going to the hospital, call the doctor here.
-
I'll die.
If you don't get up how will we go to a hospital?
-
How will we know what is the problem if you don't see a doctor?
Oh..
-
Oh.. I'm dying. The doctor is here, call him.
-
Alright, I'll ask Luqman to call the doctor round the corner.
Not him, he's a fraud.
-
Call Dr. Maja..
Dr. Maja, the son of the bodybuilder?
-
Yes, he's my friend's son.
Dad, the hospitals he worked in,
-
they're an hour away from here. Why will he come leaving all his work.
-
Oh you,
-
you just call him, he'll come right now.
-
Even if he does, you'll be pining away with your pain.
-
You donkey, I'll be the one in pain. What's it to you?
-
You call him. I want him to treat me.
-
Alright dad. You be stubborn some times.
-
Go. Did you find his number?
-
Oh.
Is this his number?
-
Yes.. Oh..
-
You're here Sannata. Is this the time to come? What went wrong with you?
-
I came here to tell you something, Shireen..
-
You shouldn't have come here, Manzoor.
-
How could I then say what I had to tell you?
-
What did you need to say after so many years?
-
The same need, that brought you to me.
-
You were forced to see me because of your daughter.
-
I have been forced because of my child too.
-
What do you want? What is it that you want?
-
The daughter I brought up all alone facing this entire society.
-
The same who I consoled telling fake stories about her father.
-
The same child, whose father didn't ask about her for years.
-
The same, for whom I forgot I was a woman.
-
Are you talking about the same child?
-
So Manzoor, she isn't even mine.
-
She is yours Shireen.
-
And she will be yours.
-
Children will be called with their mother's name on the day of Judgment.
-
You're lucky that your child, even in this world,
-
is known by her mother, not her father.
-
I always had this pinch in my heart about leaving her.
-
I thought I had done a crime to you both.
-
But, I came here to thank you today.
-
Thank me?
Yes.
-
The pinch is gone from my heart about what would have happened to her when I left.
-
I am no longer upset after seeing her.
You..
-
Have you met her? Have you met my Joya?
Yes.
-
Your Joya.
-
She is your Joya.
-
Truthful like you.
-
Bold and courageous.
-
A man might be afraid of a bold and courageous wife but seeing the same traits in his daughter,
-
he becomes very proud.
-
I came here to thank you that you,
-
brought up my daughter so well.
-
And yes.
-
Don't worry. I,
-
didn't tell her anything about hers and my relationship.
-
And neither will I tell her ever.
-
You don't have to worry.
-
But I have already told her about you.
-
She knows everything.
