-
Yes, lets meet tomorrow. Yes my partner will be with me.
-
Yes. We know the idea. Okay. Thank you.
-
Congratulations. They like your idea.
-
Any problem?
-
I wanted to tell you something.
-
I'm going to the US next month.
-
what!
-
I have been trying to tell you for the past two months, but I didn't have the courage.
-
You share everything with me.
-
Did you need courage for this?
This did need something.
-
And, is there something else?
You've gone crazy thinking.
-
I have seen dreams of a good job, being a good businessman and a good family.
-
But I don't see anything happening here.
-
Frustration has changed into depression and my aunt has also found a girl for me in New York.
-
So this means, you..
If I have to compromise then why not this?
-
good for you
-
Salman
-
Hello.
Hello.
-
Is everything okay? Did your car break down again?
No I'm just tired.
-
Aaliya, I hate it when someone lies to me.
-
And I get hurt when someone doesn't believe me.
-
Oh God.. What happened Agha Ji?
-
Dad gave you this house to live. He didn't name it to you.
-
I wanted to settle this out of court.
-
We shouldn't bring dad's name to court.
-
But you don't care for dad's respect or yours.
-
Understand this. Dad's property belongs to my sons and Shakeel.
-
Your daughters will be given their share.
-
This is my last warning.
-
You're elder than me but you didn't behave as such. I'm giving you two months.
-
Sell this house and give everybody their rightful shares or find a new house.
-
He has lost all his respect for relations.
-
If only dad had his will written.
-
He shouldn't have just said so.
Don't worry.
-
Then what should I do?
-
Give them their shares and get rid of this nonsense.
-
So you've finally said what was in your heart.
-
Didn't I tell you? Nobody came without a purpose.
-
She's been doing this for years. She wants this house to be distributed and to be sold.
-
All of them need their shares.
-
Whenever someone says something right, you just lose it. You have to do it one day or the other.
-
Do it now and get rid of it.
-
Get rid of the sword hanging on your head all the time.
-
Did someone ask for your suggestion?
-
You're lucky I'm giving you a free advise or else you'll be standing on the road.
-
You'll be living in a camp then.
-
Do you even realize if this house is sold, what will we do?
-
Had you worried about your daughters, you would have made your own house.
-
You wouldn't have just claimed dad's house and eaten your siblings' share in the property.
-
Yes.
-
Whatever I'm doing, I'm doing for my daughters and I'll keep doing it.
-
And remember this as well.
-
I will die but I'll not give others what belongs to my daughters.
-
I was thinking that whatever we should be discussing, we should do so in front of your wife.
-
Because if something happens tomorrow, I'll not be able to bear witness.
-
I wanted to ask you dear. If you have some heavy jewelry from your parents, give them to me.
-
Yes?
I'll keep them in the locker.
-
Aunty I don't have much. Just two sets.
-
Dear, your mother told me she would give four.
-
Alright, whatever it is, bring it to me. Its unsafe these days, where will we keep them?
-
Okay, I'll bring them.
-
Wait, there's something more. Sit down and we'll discuss.
-
Actually I wanted to tell you that they're firing people from Saif's office.
-
Saif must have told you.
-
My child only discusses everything with me.
-
But Saif might lose his job as well.
-
God forbid aunty. Nothing will happen. I'll pray.
-
Prayers don't work missy. You have to do something as well.
-
I'm hungry, mom.
Quiet. We're talking. I'll give you food later.
-
I was thinking you should talk to your dad and ask him to make the tenants leave.
-
What do you mean?
-
Oh God. I had a simple son and now my daughter in law is ahead of him.
-
See if Saif loses his job, how will we live?
-
I am used to living with hardships dear but I'm worried about you. You're not used to it.
-
That's why I've thought that we'll rent out our house and shift in your parents house.
-
But aunty.
-
No ifs and buts dear. See your father got you married for free.
-
Will he not support us in our hard time?
-
Did you see, this is how we talk.
-
You just watch, I'll get you everything. A bike, a house and even jewelry.
-
So you've been pressurized by her then?
-
Whenever someone leaves me, I miss my dad.
-
He left without saying anything. But Rafi is just my friend.
-
He didn't sign any contract for life.
-
Perhaps I might also get frustrated and leave sometime.
-
Everybody faces their own troubles and circumstances.
-
I've seen more difficult times. I'll see to this as well.
-
Did she really say this?
Even I don't believe this.
-
But aunt isn't like this.
-
Whenever we get a call from America, it disturbs the entire house.
-
Come, have dinner.
Is dad home?
-
Hmm?
Is dad home?
-
No. He is normally worried. God knows where he might be now.
-
I knocked at Sofia's door too but she isn't opening.
-
Let it be mom.
-
Tanya, I've made your fries and boiled your rice. Come and eat.
-
Come and eat now. By the way..
-
call Samiya, I'm feeling restless.
-
But mom...
I don't think we should call Samiya. She'll be worried.
-
You're right. I'll go sleep. Maybe if I sleep a little. Come on you two.
-
Mom, talk to uncle.
Not right now.
-
I will talk to him.
-
Tanya, I don't see something good happening.
-
I couldn't do anything.
-
I couldn't save our house.
What more could you have done?
-
You did everything.
I needed to do much more than this.
-
Couldn't do it.
-
Come now.
-
What will marching left and right get you?
So you tell me what to do?
-
What should you do? Why did you listen to him? You should have just thrown him out and I would see the rest.
-
Let it be. Had you been so courageous you wouldn't have let her run away.
-
You're still accused for it.
-
I was honoring and respecting my friendship.
-
That friendship ended ages ago, what did you do then?
-
Really?
You tell me what should I do?
-
Yes, so you ran away with her first, this time kidnap her. It will end this.
-
Listen Agha Ji.. Listen..
I've heard you out a lot.
-
Did you see? I told you he was very upset. He doesn't even want to see my face.
-
He is upset but he'll understand if you explain.
-
He is very upset aunty. I know its my mistake.
-
But I don't know how to explain.
-
Do I need to tell this too? You've grown up like each other's shadow since childhood.
-
Go and talk to him. You don't need to clarify with your old friends.
-
He's in his room.
-
Come in.
-
Sit..
-
What do you call the boy
-
who lives with his wife's family once they are married?
-
live-in son in law
-
So you want to be that?
Yes.
-
Good. Bravo.
-
You'll cook, clean the bathrooms and look after the house.
-
Its very good. And what about the dreams you had?
-
Its not like that. She's a doctor and they have a very progressive family.
-
Good. You're future is bright then.
-
She has two children.
-
Her husband passed away four years ago in a car accident.
-
She has a lot of responsibilities.
-
You know I didn't expect aunt to take such a mature decision.
-
She didn't accept Sonia's proposal for me because she is a US citizen
-
but because she is a sensible, practical woman.
-
You know, after talking to her I realized that aunt is right.
-
So you've thought everything through?
Yes.
-
Good.
-
Are you still upset with me?
No.
-
I've started respecting you more.
-
Thank God, you respect me at least.
-
why are you upset?
-
How many times did we call you for dinner?
-
Why didn't you come?
-
I'm not hungry.
-
Why did you argue with Agha Ji?
You won't understand.
-
You don't shout at elders. This is what I know.
-
Do you know the 6 times table?
-
I know it now. A little.
And the spelling of spiderman?
-
I know. Should I tell you?
No. Let it be.
-
I want to go to school.
-
Where do you want to go?
Tell me again. Where do you want to go?
-
Dad..
-
I'll just come.
No don't go.
-
Let him be alone for a while and then we'll talk.
-
Can you not get a loan from your work?
-
No.
-
Nobody would loan you millions.
-
So when we don't have any solution to this problem, he should sell it. We would at least be rid of this.
-
Yes. Nobody understood when I said this.
-
The cat doesn't disappear if you shut your eyes or turn your head.
-
You shouldn't have talked to dad this way.
-
He never understands if we say anything straight. This is how we talk to him.
-
I made such a ruckus on my wedding that the ceilings bore down.
-
But you know how much love dad has for this house.
-
And why is that so, you know that as well.
-
I know you're right Aaliya, but others are not wrong as well.
-
Its their right to ask for their share in the property.
-
And uncle? He's settled peacefully in America.
-
And he wants us out of this house. How is this humane aunt?
-
Don't you dislike the fact that your father isn't giving others what is rightfully theirs.
-
Aunt..
I'm not talking about my brothers. But shouldn't I talk about myself.
-
I have a share in my dad's property.
-
Will you like me if I leave my own share in my father's property?
-
Had their been someone else other than your father, would you expect me to leave my right without a fight?
-
As it is, I'm not talking about my own right. I'm talking about the best for everyone.
-
You're talking about selling our house. Whats for the best in this?
-
Both of you will get married someday.
-
Will you take this house along?
-
Its a white elephant. Look at it. He needs millions for its maintenance.
-
And will your father be able to do this in his pension?
-
And the three of you have a share in this house as well. Its your right.
-
And if your father loses this case, he'll not only lose his house, but a lot of other things as well.
-
This comes later. We'll consider this later.
-
Our generations have been destroyed because we wanted to consider this later.
-
We need to live with a long term planning.
-
There should be a difference between how animals and how humans live, Aaliya.
-
Did you have Safdar uncle....
Tanya...
-
Don't stop her. Let her complete.
-
A human being does not have control on life and death. But the rest is in his hand.
-
That's why don't destroy what is in your hand.
-
Properties aren't important. People are. Relationships are.
-
Rafi is so sensible. His face doesn't show so.
-
I was only thinking that had their been a widow in Pakistan with two three kids.
-
Would his parents get him married to her?
-
The world is so, Salman.
-
We have to compromise on something and strike deals for other things.
-
How can a person strike a deal when it comes to their marriage?
-
Usually this is the case but often its not that bad.
-
Can you do this?
-
Right now I feel I can compromise on just about anything.
-
Are you scaring me?
-
How will you handle work after Rafi leaves?
-
I don't know. I'm thinking about it.
-
Listen, why don't you hire Ali?
-
Ali? How will he manage work along with his studies?
-
He will. He will get a chance to stay away from his step mother and he'll be earning something as well.
-
Okay. You didn't answer my question.
-
Which question?
-
Can you strike a deal when it comes to marriage?
-
Just pray their is no such situation.
-
What did you throw?
A stone.
-
Have your breakfast.
-
Shagufta can at least wait a little.
-
You make me omelets everyday. Mom might turn you into an omelet.
-
I'll keep making one until she asks me not to.
-
I don't think you're as simple as mom thinks you are.
-
Will you not have breakfast?
-
I'm not hungry. I'll finish my chores and then eat.
-
Is everything alright?
-
You promised my dad something, before we got married. Do you remember it?
-
Yes. Why?
-
Dad got me married but now my life and its problems aren't his concern.
-
God forbid, if you lose your job. I'll support you but I'll not ask anything from dad.
-
Why are you telling me everything?
-
You were quiet when aunty discussed this in front of you.
-
Did you think it was right, whatever she said?
-
Why are you so surprised?
-
Then?
-
Someone has asked me for my opinion for the first time in my life, I'm surprised about that.
-
This is the limit. You don't let anything stay at its place.
-
I cannot find my medicines or my glasses or my files. Only Samiya could do it. Please don't do anything.
-
Oh God Agha Ji, you aren't looking for treasures. You're only looking for dust covered files and a broken pair of glasses.
-
The legs have given away since long.
-
I wasted my time and money uselessly.
-
You should have gone to the court and I wouldn't have needed a lawyer or any files.
-
You are absolutely right. I would have fought a better case than your useless lawyer
-
or I would have just strangled everyone.
-
All's well that ends well.
-
Hello auntie.
Hello dear. Come in.
-
I could hear you outside so I thought I'd ask if you needed a bandaid.
-
Oh no dear. This is her style of romance.
-
She says if we keep fighting weekly, not only our hearts will stay clean but it will increase our love.
-
God forgive us, Agha Ji.
-
Dear the day he has to go to the court, he creates a mess looking for his files.
-
Can I help you Agha Ji?
-
Of course. He doesn't have the strength to visit courts. He passes out himself.
-
Tell me the details.
-
Oh no dear. Its such a problematic thing. You will waste a lot of time.
-
I deal with properties.
-
And I have already sold a lot of house that have cases against them.
-
No dear, I don't want to sell this house but give it to my daughters.
-
And my brothers and nephews have filed cases against it and her sister in law is also claiming a share.
-
Show me the files and the documents the lawyer has prepared.
-
Dear it will waste your time. At least two, three hours.
-
Don't worry about it Agha Ji. Show me.
-
Alright, here you go.
-
Shamo give us some good tea. And do make it yourself
-
My lawyer got some fake documents made
-
and I rejected them and told the judge the truth.
-
Now the lawyer is offended. He asked me to give him one hundred thousand and to leave him.
-
Agha Ji, you only have two options.
-
Either you give them their share in the property or you pay for their shares and buy this house.
-
And what if I don't do this?
Then you'll lose this case and the house.
-
You cannot compromise on your principles and go against them.
-
If your lawyer had told you to forge documents, you could have gone with it.
-
But I don't understand. You're a man of principles and yet you don't want to give your siblings their share.
-
This house was gifted to me by my father and everybody knows that.
-
Now because I don't have a son,
-
that's why everyone is talking now.
-
I know Agha Ji but you cannot change the law. You'll have to compromise.
-
And that I will not do.
So you neither will be able to win the case or sleep peacefully.
-
Thank you very much. Now don't talk about it anymore.
It was my duty to not give you any false hopes.
-
Its your wish now.
Thank you for your generosity.
-
Agha Ji, either do something about this water pump or me.
-
Stay put on your words because the pump stays here.
-
What did you say to the child?
-
Should I help you?
-
What are you reciting?
Prayers for this dead water pump.
-
This has been here for a century.
-
Even I know this pump isn't going to function for long.
-
I'll get a new one in the evening.
-
Ask Agha Ji first whether he wants to part with his beloved or not.
-
We can solve our problems ourselves. We don't need strangers helping us.
-
He's a little worried these days.
-
He's the most unusual worried man.
-
He will neither give us what is rightfully ours and not accept a solution as well.
-
Don't worry. I'll get a new one in the evening.
-
Alright.
-
This does happen Aaliya. People get better opportunities and advance in their careers.
-
You wouldn't stay with me all your life. You will go where you have better prospects.
-
Accept Asfar's office and join his office immediately. It will be the best for him and us.
-
Can you strike a deal?
-
Did you get a court order?
-
I'm not in a rush. When my other siblings get their share, I'll get mine as well.
-
Why are you igniting a fire missy?
-
What can I do, this age isn't of the respectful. God will give us respect.
-
I had some work with him.
-
He will not do anything expect firing in such a situation.
-
If you need anything else other than your share, do let me know.
-
Brother..
-
I want to enroll Deepak in a school in two days. Please help him prepare for Urdu.
-
Oh wow. All praise to the Lord. You're enrolling in a school. Come here.
-
Show me your copy and pencil.
-
Oh dear, this is your Math copy. Bring the one with straight lines.
-
Here.
Yes. Do you know how to write your name? Show me.
-
Deepak? Deepak wake up. You're getting late.
-
Deepak you have to get ready as well. Come on.
-
Give me his clothes. I'll get them ironed. He's still sleeping.
Wake him up and I'll get them.
-
Deepak? Get up. Come on.
-
What are you looking for?
-
Where was it? Yes. Here.
-
Now I can see the world. Where is your aunt?
In the lounge.
-
Had she been not so indifferent, I could have respected her.
-
You're being unfair dad. Aunt is never like this.
-
So she has you under her influence. Wow.
-
No dad. Had she wanted to file for her inheritance, she would have done it a long time ago.
-
She will do it some day...
-
Dad, she has a share. Give it to her. Why does she need to file a case?
-
Now leave from here. Get breakfast on the table. I'm coming.
-
You don't listen to me.
-
Now make your hair like this, yourself.
-
Hey Deepak, come here.
-
May God protect you and keep you safe from evil eyes.
-
Oh Meena, Deepak isn't going to war.
-
It was a battle for me and I had lost it, Agha Ji.
-
Meena you didn't lose and neither will Deepak let you lose.
-
May God accept your prayers.
-
Call Shamo. Her prayers are answered very fast. Shamo.
-
Come on, we're getting late. Bye.
Aunt, hurry up. We're getting late.
-
It looks as if they're going on a wedding.
-
Its more than a wedding for us.
-
Now aren't you getting late?
Come on.
-
Good luck.
-
How did your test go?
It was very good.
-
Very good. Really? Awesome.
-
How was the test?
-
It was excellent and I'll be happy to enroll Deepak in my school.
-
Thank you so much.
Congratulations.
-
It seems as if I passed. Come on, lets go home and tell everyone.
-
Hello Sehrish?
Hello Aaliya?
-
I need you to do me a favor.
Tell me.
-
It'll be done. Anything else you need?
-
No. Thank you. Thank you so much.
Okay perfect. Bye.
-
Good to see you.
-
Hello.
Come sit. Tea coffee?
-
Anything?
No. Nothing. Thanks.
-
I didn't expect you to reply me so soon.
-
I wasn't expecting you to offer me a job.
-
Do you like cricket?
-
No.
Neither do I.
-
Even then you bought a team
-
I I know there are a few people.
-
They love to display their power
-
Good. You have researched well about me. I like that.
-
I didn't need it actually. Your life is very public.
That is success.
-
People talking about you.
I don't agree.
-
You don't have to.
-
You didn't tell me why did you offer me a job?
-
I should be asking you this.
-
Why did you come here?
-
To spy on me?
