Parizaad | Episode 2 | Eng Sub | Presented By ITEL Mobile | HUM TV | Drama | 27 July 2021

You want me to write a job application for you or what?

This has nothing to do with a job or anything…

I want you to write me a love application.

Ahhh!!!

Do you recognize this handwriting?

This is… Parizad’s handwriting.

I’m coming! I’m coming!

Do you intend breaking the door or what?

I’m coming! I’m coming!

Greetings Mr. Mirza.

All of you here?

Is everything okay Mr. Mirza?

Is Parizad at home?

Uh… Yes,

he comes back home at 10:00 pm after having taught his last tuition of the day.

I think he must be asleep by now.

Yeah right, ‘He tutors.’

Call him out.

I’ll speak to him right here.

Yes alright.

Parizad?

Yes brother?

Come outside.

Here you go Mr. Mirza.

...Parizad’s here.

Greetings.

What did you think?

Did you think that you could go hide quietly in your house

and I wouldn’t be able to get to you?

Me?

Did you jump onto the roof top of my house today?

What are you saying… I don’t know what you’re talking about?

Is this your handwriting?

But this letter was…

Is this your handwriting or not?!

The handwriting is mine.

I feel like sending you to jail right now on the charge of trying to rob my house!

I want to make you rot in jail!!!

...But what do I do…

I’ve been a neighbor of your late father

and your brothers these past thirty years.

And having shared this neighborhood for so long and being a neighbor,

is what’s stopping me now.

You all are witnesses!

He has admitted in front of all of you that he wrote this disgusting letter.

A letter he dropped when making his escape!

I am letting you off today because of mine and our neighbors respectability.

But remember one thing, if I ever see you anywhere near my house again,

then you will be responsible for the outcome which follows.

Come…

let’s go inside.

I’m going to rid you of all your feelings of love today.

Come… come on…

lets go inside.

At least tell us whats happened!

Our father’s spirit must be turning in his grave right now!

He must be turning in its grave!

What has he done brother!

For god’s sake stop!

Are you going to kill him or what!

Stop it!

It would be better if he died!

It would be better if he died!

We’ve lived in this neighborhood for the past thirty years

and no one’s ever raised a finger at our character!

But this ill-fated …

this one…

in but one moment he’s ground our reputation into dust!

Beat him! Beat him! Beat him!

No! No! No!

Beat him! Beat him!

No! No! No!

Please stop!

Did you feel no shame while doing all this?

What’s this?!

What’s this?

Is this why we spent money on you???

...Is it so you could write all this?!

No! No! No!

Come here! Come here!

Did you look at your face before writing a letter to those respectable girls?!

Did you think you were equal to their status and position???

What have you done!

But he’s coming straight back from giving his tuitions brother Akbar!

Be quiet! Its only because of your brothers’ decency

and respectability that they didn’t hand him over to the police!

And to hell with such an education, I think we should -

Yahhh!!!

No!

Yahhh!!!

No!!! Brother Akbar, for god’s sake don’t do this!!!

For god’s sake brother, stop! Forgive him

Come inside with me! Come on!

Take him inside!

Disgraceful man!

Oh, hey brother Shauky,

you’re sitting here!

Do you know what happened last night in the neighborhood?

What happened?

I hope no one knows our secret?

No, brother Shauky they don’t.

...But you know that Parizad?

He got caught!

Munna was telling me that

Mr. Mirza really humiliated him in front of the whole neighborhood!

And you know that letter that you dropped at her house?

Mr. Mirza found it.

What are you saying buddy?

This isn’t good.

Parizad must have immediately disclosed my name to him.

No brother Shauky,

the poor guy kept silent because of his fear of you.

Mr. Mirza slapped him real hard in front of the whole neighborhood…

but he didn’t utter your name even once!

Shall I give you some tea Balay?

No, leave the tea.

Yeah right, ‘Leave the tea.’

Go and get a cup.

Why are you worrying brother Shauky?

Parizad got the entire blame

so you have nothing to worry about.

But this thing that’s happened wasn’t right.

Where is Parizad right now?

Where do you think he could be?

He’s probably hiding out at his house

since the whole neighborhood is talking about him.

If you aren’t having that tea then give it to me.

Here, you can have it.

Why have you been so silent since last night?

I know that this isn’t what everyone is saying it is.

You would never do anything so low-down.

But you’re also not telling me the truth!

What can I say sister?

When my own brothers have no faith in my character and the truth…

then where’s the point of proving myself innocent before the neighborhood?

I’m not talking about others…

but you should at least tell me the truth!

The truth is sister that…

that handwriting, it was mine.

But I was unaware of the fact that the person who was having me write that letter,

was getting it written for Naheed.

I wonder what she must think of me now.

If she has any sense,

she will have understood that this letter was not written by you for her.

Why do you think that?

It’s because had he wanted to give you that letter, he had plenty of other opportunities.

He didn’t need to jump onto the roof like this...

This is definitely about something else.

If it is something else

then why did daddy find the letter that the thief left on our roof.

That’s something that even I don’t get.

Sister…

Will you please go and tell her that this wasn’t my doing.

That Shauky had me write the letter.

Right now it’s quite impossible.

Her family is very angry at the moment.

...But

I will try to send her your message when I get an opportunity to do so

Sister

did you see that person… what I mean is… his appearance?

No, it was dark.

He ran off the moment I screamed.

I didn’t see him.

But that’s even more strange…

I mean seeing a girl all alone on the roof…

he ran off?

He should have grabbed you in order to get you to keep quiet.

What are you saying???

How would I know why he didn’t grab me and why he ran off?

What do you mean…

should he have grabbed me and caused me harm before leaving?

Oh god sister…

God have mercy,

I never meant anything like that…

Then what do you mean?

You’ve been beating my brains out for hours now

can you not understand that I’m really very upset!

Leave!

But sister I was only -

Just go away.

Why didn’t you tell everyone about that damn Shauky!

Who would have believed me?

When Mr. Mirza was already holding a letter in my handwriting.

No one would have believed it.

...And frankly speaking,

I didn’t want to dishonor Naheed’s reputation by mentioning Shauky’s name.

Who knows where that would have led had I done so?

Oh hey Parizad,

the next time you want to jump onto some beauty’s roof top,

do consult us first.

We have a lot of experience in such matters.

He’s the kind of hero

that gets beaten up by the heroine’s father even before the movie starts.

What do we tell you Aunty how very embarrassed we are.

We can’t show our faces to the world now!

I can’t tell you how much he’s shamed us!

We just couldn’t stay away Aunty.

We’ve known each other for years

and have also been neighbors for ages…

which is why we thought we would come to apologize to you personally.

It is very generous of you and Mr. Mirza

to forgive us.

What had to happen, happened so why keep going on about it.

what goes on inside a person

If only one knows beforehand,

would everyone not know each other then?

I never expected this of Parizad.

I always thought him to be a sensible and mature boy.

That’s it Aunty…

you know what they say,

‘One’s face is always an indication of one’s character.’

Both his brothers beat him up so good…

that the bruises he sustained on his body from the beatings,

wont leave any time soon!

...Oh

Even Akbar wasn’t even willing to have him in the house.

He wanted to throw him out.

It was only because of their sister’s pleas that they let him stay.

...Otherwise,

both the brothers were going to throw him out on the road that night.

I don’t know when we’ll see the last of this brother and sister.

One does something good

but then then has to deal with such accusations as well

Aunty,

Please tell us the truth.

You have forgiven us have you not?

How are you all to blame for what’s happened?

But do make Parizad understand

that he should not even think to mention Naheed’s name in front of the neighbors.

All people need is some gossip…

something spicy to talk about.

...Even if it means leaving someone’s honor in shreds.

Uh… Oh hey, no, no Aunty,

please don’t worry about this at all.

You think his brother wont skin him alive

if he even thinks to do such a thing.

Don’t worry Aunty, nothing like this will happen.

Goodbye Aunty.

Good Bye Aunty.

Good Bye

Hey! Why did you have to say all that inside,

‘When will we see the last of this brother and sister!’

Are you crazy or what!

You should just stay quiet!

So, what were brother Parizad’s sisters-in-law saying?

It was nothing.

They just came to apologize.

May I say something mummy?

Isn’t brother Parizad so very different from his family?

You’re right.

I get the same feeling every time I meet them.

Where’s Naheed?

Isn’t she planning on doing any housework today?

Sister’s in her room mummy.

She’s in her room?

I’ll go see her there then.

That was Parizad’s two sisters-in-law.

They came to apologize.

I don’t know why

but I get the feeling after meeting them

that they were deep down happy to see their brother-in-law humiliated.

Parizad doesn’t seem like that to me.

I always found him to be quite a decent boy.

He never even looked up at you when addressing you so then

to show such boldness and daring?

I feel afraid.

I pray that we aren’t unknowingly making a mistake and thus being unfair to someone.

I’m a mother of two daughters.

I don’t want us to suffer anyone’s laments or curses for any injustice.

I’ve kept a prayer recitation in the evening.

Come and help me prepare for it.

Greetings Aunty.
How are you?

Greetings, I’m fine.

What is all this?

Mummy had kept a prayer recitation today

and this here offering is in lieu of that.

Okay.

Sit… sit.

Alright.

Do you see this Sughra!

This is what you call kind-hearted, forgiving and generous people!

Even after all that’s happened

Aunty never forgot to send us the prayer meet offering.

Yes, may God always keep them happy.

You keep sitting while I go and put this in another plate.

Okay.

Greetings, sister Saeeda.

Greetings

How are you Kanwal?

Please keep sitting.

I’m very well and how are you?

How are your studies going?

Yes… uh… everything’s fine.

Listen

I need to speak to you about something important.

Yes sister?

Look…

Parizad is innocent.

He didn’t write that letter to Naheed

nor did he jump onto your roof that night.

I mean just think about it, why would he need to do all this

when he’d already been going across to your house to teach Naheed.

And I’m not saying all this because he’s my brother.

I’m saying it only because its the truth.

Parizad has never to dare ever raised his eyes to even look at any neighborhood girl.

This is something that’s troubling my mother as well, sister.

But that letter was found on our roof top

and the writing was also brother Parizad’s.

He admitted to it in front of the entire neighborhood.

Yes, and this is also a proof of his innocence.

The truth is that he was forced to write that letter for a loafer of

this neighborhood called Shauky.

…And it was without a name.

Pari never suspected even in his wildest of dreams

that the guy was having that letter written for Naheed.

This means that…

onto your roof that night.

it wasn’t Parizad but Shauky who jumped

...And my brother was blamed for the whole thing.

Here are your dishes, child.

...And please thank your mother from us.

Good Bye

Good Bye

By the way I’m really fed up cleaning this courtyard!

Our situation just never improves enough for us to hire a maid!

Greetings.

Greetings

Do you know the latest news that’s being spread in the neighborhood?

What is it sister-in-law?

Mr. Mirza has stopped Naheed studying.

And he’ll look for a boy now and arrange her marriage.

Well obviously

after all that infamy,

studying is but just an excuse.

But may I say something sister-in-law,

Parizad has really ruined her life.

Who’s going to marry that innocent girl now?

I feel quite sorry for that poor girl.

After having ruined her reputation,

he’s now going around hiding his face.

Who is it?

Its I, Majid.

Yes, brother Majid?

Uh… Saeeda,

Is brother Asghar at home?

Brother isn’t home.

Oh… really.

Alright,

I’ll come back another day.

...And by the way

Tell me something, how’s Parizad?

I haven’t seen him around for a couple of days.

Yes… he’s fine.

Tell him to come see me.

Brother… Majid?

Parizad didn’t do it you know.

You know him, he could never do such a thing.

He’s been framed.

Saeeda

I know that

but it’s now become impossible to make the neighbors understand it.

...Uh… But don’t worry, God will make everything alright.

Okay…

Good Bye

You just watch what I do today!

Yeah, yeah, we’re watching you.

Just play!

Tea! We want tea!

...Yah! He got a foul in his first turn!

There’s no such thing as a foul in the first turn - !

Shut up!!!

If I hear another voice, I’ll bury the person alive right here!

What’s wrong brother Shauky?

Ever since you returned from that unsuccessful rendezvous you’ve

been getting angry at us as well.

What’s the problem…?

Its nothing!

I told you to do one thing.

One thing!

...And you couldn’t even do that you good for nothing!

But I did send a boy from the neighborhood brother Shauky.

What am I to do if his brother shooed him away from their house?

And you know how he goes to college in the mornings

and comes back at night after giving his tuitions.

...It’s a time when the whole neighborhood is asleep.

So now you tell me, how is this any my fault?

I always do as you tell me to do.

Mr. Mirza has stopped Naheed studying.

And he’ll look for a boy now and arrange her marriage.

I’ve been looking for you for quite a few days.

Why brother Shauky?

Did you want me to write another letter for you?

Hit me…

hit Shauky with a thousand shoes

but know one thing,

I had no intention of ruining your reputation.

It fell out of my pocket onto the roof in my nervousness.

I wish that you had told me earlier

as to who you wanted me to write that letter to…

because I would never have let you do such a thing brother Shauky.

I did you an inadvertent injustice buddy.

And then by not taking Shauky’s name…

you really killed me from inside.

I’ve never felt so low down in my life.

Look even now, nothing’s lost.

Come with me.

I will gather up the whole neighborhood

and announce to them that

I was the one who got that letter written…

and that I was the one who jumped onto her roof that day

and that it wasn’t you.

Whatever happened, happened brother Shauky.

You need to forget about this as well brother Shauky.

I don’t want Naheed to face any more infamy.

She’s a decent girl from a respectable family.

This matter isn’t as innocent as it looks my dear!

That night, before I ran from Naheed’s roof top,

my face was exposed.

...So, she saw my face.

And you only kept silent in front of the neighborhood

so as not to ruin her reputation, right?

But just think for a moment, why do you think she didn’t tell her

father it was me and not you who jumped onto her roof top?

What are you saying brother Shauky?

I’m telling you the truth.

Naheed recognized me.

Then why did she stay silent in front of everyone?

Maybe it was the same reason that I kept silent.

She didn’t want any more infamy.

So, she put your life long good name on the line for it?

Nope.

...No, no, no my dear.

It’s not as simple as it looks my dear.

What do you mean?

I have a suspicion.

That night when I jumped onto Naheed’s roof top…

there was someone else there with her.

…What?

No, no brother Shauky,

you’re making unnecessary allegations about an innocent girl.

For God’s sake don’t do this.

I’m telling you the truth buddy.

Alright fine, so she didn’t see me properly.

But I’m telling you one thing buddy,

Naheed was not alone on that roof top.

Nope.

Shauky’s eyes can never deceive him brother.

Greetings… greetings!

Sughra?
Kubra?

Greetings. Aunt Hajjan, come sit down.

Oh… uff…

It’s really hot.

Oh…Hey

I’m going to first and foremost have a cold glass of lemonade!

I’m dying in this heat.

...And after that I want the red sherbet

and after that I will have some tea!

Alright fine, I’ll make sure you have everything so don’t worry.

Yes, yes, Aunt, I’ll make sure you have everything.

Just be patient.

...But tell us first,

have you done the job or not?

Never has Aunt taken on a responsibility and not fulfilled it.

I’ve arranged more than two hundred and fifty marriages.

This is why we have asked you Aunt Hajjan

Come on then go and get the sherbet.

I’ll just get it.

I was just thinking…

that since I am here now,

I might just as well have lunch.

Have it!

Alright fine…

...Let’s eat some dates.

Here… these are of Zahid’s wedding.

I arranged that match as well.

Really?

Congratulations… congratulations Aunt.

It’s not as simple as it looks my dear.

I have a suspicion.

Naheed wasn’t alone on that roof top…

there was someone else there with her.

That night, before I ran from Naheed’s roof top,

my face was exposed.

Naheed recognized me.

Then why did she still stay silent in front of everyone?

Listen…

what is all this nonsense that people are talking about Parizad?

What do I tell you Aunt Hajjan?

He’s totally embarrassed his brothers.

They can never show their face to anyone ever again!

But he was not that kind of a child.

I raised him myself!

Aunt,

it doesn’t take long for a person to show their true self!

Well anyways,

whatever happened isn’t good…

because as you know when a family comes with a marriage

proposal they always verify family details before coming.

...And when they find out

that there’s this kind of talk about one of the brothers

then who’s going to marry a girl from that family?

What do you mean?
Is there a match?

Oh, but this is what I came to tell you!

The boy’s family lives in the Sadat neighborhood.

The boy has his own general store.

He’s only a little older than Saeeda in age.

But he is an only son!

There’s no scene of any sisters-in-law!

The boy’s family want to come see Saeeda.

So why even ask Aunt.

You just go ahead and say yes to them

and we’ll ask the men about it today.

Well do it soon because such matches don’t wait around you know.

And besides it’s hard to find matches these days.

Oh hey Aunt no, no…

why don’t you just go ahead and tell them to come on Friday.

...Uh… And I’ll handle the rest.

Think it through my dear.

You don’t want your Akbar to kick up a fuss you know.

I’m as it is quite afraid of his temper.

Don’t worry about those two,

we’ll handle them.

...Although yes, if this match gets arranged

then I will give you an embroidered outfit and that’s for sure!

And I will give you a sewing machine for sure.

Really!

Parizad.

Parizad?

Parizad… you and here?

I came to tell Naheed that I didn’t throw that letter on her roof…

Uh… Yes, yes, we know.

Of course, we know.

Where are you going?

Come sit down.

No, I’ll be going now.

Wait, listen to me.

Come and sit down comfortably and let’s talk.

Forgive me.

I know that there was a huge injustice with you because of me.

Yes Parizad, Naheed and I are both very ashamed.

So, you were the one on that roof that day brother Majid?

Meaning that Shauky was telling the truth.

Yes,

I was on the roof that day.

...But… Shauky never saw my face.

It’s just that Majid was going to send his mother to our house very soon.

And had everyone known about us before his proposal

and had Majid taken the blame onto himself…

our match would never have been possible.

Its why I kept silent…

and never mentioned Shauky’s name.

I’d decided that I would send my parents with a marriage proposal

to Naheed’s house after my finals…

but…

I now feel that I shouldn’t delay it any longer.

As it is you’ve had to face a lot of humiliation because of us.

I’m not sad about my humiliation…

I was fated for that.

It’s just that my heart -

Had I even taken Shauky’s name,

I would have been the one fated for the infamy…

because then people might have thought that I was involved in this whole affair.

But

the moment your name was mentioned, forget my family,

the whole neighborhood absolved me of any wrong doing.

Everyone understood that I had nothing to do with this affair.

No one could ever even imagine that you and I would -

You and I are…

anyways…

My prayers are with you two.

May you two always be happy.

It’s just that Majid was going to send his mother to our house very soon.

And had everyone known about us before his proposal

and had Majid taken the blame onto himself…

...our match would never have been possible.

Had I even taken Shauky’s name, I would have been the one fated for the infamy…

But the moment your name was mentioned,

forget my family,

the whole neighborhood absolved me of any wrong doing.

Everyone understood that I had nothing to do with this affair.

No one could ever even imagine that you and I would -
