Kuch Ankahi Episode 12 | 25th Mar 2023 (Eng Sub) Digitally Presented by Master Paints & Sunsilk

Was there a raid here last night?

I'm not in the mood for your lecture right now.

Even I don't want to talk to you but we live under the same roof

and we should be sympathizing with one another.

I don't need any sympathies.

Thank God everything is alright and the circumstances are normal.

Then why are your eyes red?

There is blood in these eyes.

Should I tell you the details or get you breakfast.

Of course there is blood.

You got all dolled up for your lover's wedding last night.

Yes. He invited you too. You could have gone there and be his best man.

God forbid. Puppets don't need best men but strings to work.

Oh well, what went on after this tsunami?

My intentions are what they always had been.

Once his mother has fulfilled her craze, you'll see what I do.

May God give you some sense.

People make new settlements after a tsunami.
They don't destroy the ones settled.

What is it that you want?

The same. My intentions don't change.

You have lost your mind.

It always was. You just found out.

Will you be stubborn and destroy a girl's life?

Had that girl had some sense, she would have said no to the wedding herself.

I called her and tried to explain.

But then I found out that she is not only dumb but deaf as well.

You're a fake woman.

I cannot be embarrassed more because my daughter is a hypocrite.

Hello. How are you? Welcome. Why did you have to be so formal?

We have breakfast at 7am.

This is a tradition.

Leave these. I don't believe in them. Nobody bothers with them anyway.

We had traditions in our time. The bride's family went overboard bringing breakfast for the groom's side.

But leave them be. I don't believe in them.

We don't want to burden the girl's family anymore.

Praise to the Lord, you're very honest and considerate. Nobody cares about anyone in these times.

Oh wow. I didn't know Agha Ji's sweetest daughter was Tanya.

Thank God she doesn't have another son.

What?

We'll take Samiya with us. You please have lunch with us tomorrow.

Please don't be formal with the lunch. We will come and pick her up today.

Our house will seem empty without our daughter in law.

This is customary. There are a few rituals in the girl's family.

Lets not exaggerate.

Rather than spending on these useless rituals, give hard cash to the boy. They'll go to Hyderabad at least.

Will you go to Hyderabad for honeymoon?

Tanya, whatever sister Zarina said will happen.

Hello. Samiya, please set the breakfast table.

Why to set the table? There just a few things. We'll not need something big. I'll do it.

its not a big deal

Oh God. What is this? Something might happen to my eyes Samiya.

Aunt, Zarina aunty is very simply. She just set this all in haste.

I could die for her simplicity and her son's taste.

Tanya, take off these plastic flowers and lets donate them to a charity. Do one thing,

Bring this sofa there and take the table there.

Please leave it, I'll do it. Why do you worry?
Leave it and tell me where is Saif?

Saif is here. Why are you inviting a storm?

Please let everything be where it is, in this house and this room.

Otherwise mom will make me do everything and put it back again.

Tell her I did it and if you change anything, I'll call Agha Ji to check everything.

I can see a war starting.

Come on lets get started.

You tell me what needs to be done.

First of all take off these hideous flowers.

They're mom's favorite.

Oh.. Be careful..
Oh God.

Oh God. My son's wedding bed. Why are you destroying it? Let it stay for a month or two at least.

We got these so expensive from Bolton market, don't you remember?
I do.

Hello? Yes brother. Sister Zarina said she loved the breakfast but it was less in quantity.

When did I say that?

Yes of course. She is so nice. She wants us to give away the flowers in a school. Yes.

Yes, they have done a nice setting. You'll be happy when you see it.

Oh God. Is he coming over?

He'll come anytime and he'll bring Salman and Shakeel and they'll do the setting.

No. Its Samiya's house. She'll change the setting as she wishes. He doesn't need to bring anyone over.

Now you're talking nice. May God bless you and your daughter in law.

Of course. I'll talk to you now. You come with me.

Aunt what is wrong with you?
Nothing at all.

She's more of a drama than we thought she was.
Stop it please.

You shameless man. Your in laws insulted your mother.

They threatened us with Agha Ji and who else not and you just kept looking at them?

Do you even remember? How I saved every penny to get you married? First the robbers took everything and now this.

You minded it. We just want to make this house a better living space.

Rather than making this better, give us a new house.

What do you mean?

Oh, I'm not saying anything to you. God knows what is written in this unfortunate widow's fate.

Saif, make your mother understand.

What will he make understand? He is so naive & innocent

I was scared of the fact that the bride's family will make me stick to the wall and see it has started.

Stop crying and listen to me.

Of course. Give me your orders. I'm listening.

I'm not doing anything of this sort. I'm just telling you to stop being scared.

Those who worry about their daughter's future, how can they be up against others?

He only prays that his daughter stays happy.

God has gifted Samiya with sensibility and skills.

And we believe she has the power and skills to change circumstances.

May God keep you, your son and this house safe. Lets go Samiya.

Wait. Now that you're here, have breakfast at least.
Samiya dear, serve breakfast

Sit down.

Should I come or do you not need me?

You okay?
Hmm. Yeah.

I know how it feels when you get such notices.

You must be thinking whether you should tell Sir Raheem or not.

Eventually he's going to find out. Its good if you tell him yourself.

Dad will be hurt more than me.

I am amazed Asfar can do this.

Family is the first to attack, especially if the property is in the name of the girl.

I don't understand, if your land was disputed, why did you start working?

It is not disputed.

Then how can he get a stay order?

Because he is dad's only son.

Your father should have resolved this issue first.

He might not know Asfar could do such a thing.

You know I'm going through the same situation.

We don't have a brother which is why my uncles and their children have filed claims on our property.

I'm very sorry to hear about this. This is very, very sad.

Things will be resolved if you have a good lawyer. Don't worry.

Should I get you coffee.

Yes.
Ok

And Aaliya?

Thank you.
No problem.

Here you go dad.

I've cooked everything you like. Don't fill up on these snacks.

Mom whats wrong with you? You're treating me like a guest.

Once the girl is married, she is a guest in her parents' house.

Shamo, sometimes I feel you should have been born in 1890 and passed away in 1960. You're a little late.

Now don't lecture me with your modern philosophy. I'll be right back.

Dad, mom is so energetic.

Because she's happy.

Hmm. Her burdened has lightened.

Now this isn't it.

Look at this and this.

I have gifts for your husband and your mother in law.

Mom why did you have to? I just took so many things.

This is tradition. Now should I return them empty handed when they come to pick you up today?

Today?

Zarina said that their house will be empty without her.

Okay. Please get some tea made.

Let me make it?
No dear. You sit.

Your mom will make it.

Now tell me. How is everyone?

How is Saif and Zarina?

Everybody is fine.

Are you happy?

I'm satisfied.

This means you're not happy.

It will take a few days. This is a new house and new people.

I have never spent a night out of my house and now..
Hmm..

You're right.

But dear promise me one thing.

You'll never lie to me

or hide anything from me.

Hmm?

Only I know how much I tolerated today.
take some water

I told you earlier. I hated this Zarina.

Mom says these women with the sweet tongue are the bitterest.

I could set her straight in a minute but then I thought Samiya would have to bear everything later.

Can we not keep Samiya here for a day? They'll come to get her today only.

She examined the breakfast as if we were hiding a missile in it.

What is going on here?
We're backbiting.

You do your work.
Yes.

You're right.
Sehrish's brother took stay order.

Hmm. Did you meet Asfar?

Yes I did. They discussed everything in front of me.

Did he come himself?

He's a very weird man. First he gave Sehrish flowers, then he congratulated her and then he gave her the notice.

These elite people slit each other's throats smiling.

I do know a few middle class people who do this.

Will you not take your wife on a honeymoon?

Are you mad?

Had I gone, mom would have gone with me.

I swear to God, your mother is the only piece in the world.

When will my dream be fulfilled?
Which dream?

I want to teach your mother a good lesson.

Sometimes I feel you want to marry me for this only.

You're my bonus.

Shagufta sometimes I think what you see in me?

You're so stupid.
You never answer straight.

In all these years, you've never guessed what I liked about you?

You never told me.

You have never objected to anything I say Saif.

If I say its day, you say day. If I say its night, you say night.

I'm scared of you.

And this is what I like best about you.

Its the limit Meena. What will go wrong if you weed this flowerbed once in a week?

Dad cannot do it. His knees hurt.

I swear, this is a two storey house. The entire day goes by in cleaning and this Tanya.

The day she's in the kitchen, its havoc for me.

You have given me a lecture. What is wrong? You've been doing this forever.

Everybody is turning old. Can I not too?

Whats wrong Meena? Are you worried about something or are you not feeling well?

Nobody asks after me since you're gone.

Dad is busy with his papers. Mom is busy worrying about you and Aaliya is busy in her job.

Tell me one thing. Will you sell this house?

No. Who told you this?

Nobody said this but..

But what Meena?

I dreamt

that you people were leaving and taking Deepak along.

Nothing is happening Meena. You will have nightmares if you think stupid things.

My dreams are not fake sister Samiya.

We're not going to let this happen.

But Aaliya cannot fight the claims all alone. She's sensible and strong but still, she's a woman.

Even you're a woman. You're running your house. You're fighting your own battle.

Like you got married and now you'll fight battles in your own house.

Similarly, Aaliya will also get married one day.

Then who will fight this battle?

Once a woman starts fighting battles in her own house, her parents, her siblings all become secondary.

Unless my Deepak goes to college, don't go anywhere. Make you dad swear.

Help me once you're free.

Hello. The other woman. How are you?

Hello. Is Saif with you?

If I'm talking from his number, then this is a useless question.

Saif is here. Do you want to give him a message?

Everybody is waiting for him here. Ask him to call me.

He'll be late. Tell them Saif is eating chickpeas with Shagufta at sea view.

And..

I'll be late.

You get angry too. So cute.

Shagufta this is the limit. What if she tells her parents?

Then neither you'll be a hypocrite or a liar. These don't suit you anyway.

Now start your bike.
Shagufta, come on.

Didn't you hear what I said? Start the bike.

I'm not going with you.

Shagufta what are you doing? People are watching.

I told you. If you don't listen to me. I'll shout. Don't make me crazy and leave.

Did you also go to Samiya's house?

No. I had a lot to do in the office. Mom bothered you uselessly.

She also made aunt cook so many things today.

Dear, its nothing to worry. Our houses are the same.

In fact I'm thinking ahead now.

I'll go talk to Sofia now.

But tell me one thing.
yes

Why didn't my aunt marry your brother?

I don't know. Both of them were very happy while preparing for the wedding.

But as soon as the wedding day got closer, Sofia would be worried and irritated.

And then on the day of the wedding, she jumped from the window and ran away with Thanvi.

Did aunt really like Thanvi?
No. She just got a ride.

Then she got off and vanished.

Two months later when she came back to her in laws she told them she was in Abottabad at her relative's house.

Directly to her in laws?

Yes

they were very nice. Don't know what she told them.

Nobody questioned her or created a ruckus.

Didn't you mind all this?
Hmm..

I was hurt and I did mind but then Adil told me something.
What?

Adil told me never to doubt Sofia.

It seemed we rushed the wedding. Sofia wasn't ready.

What do you mean?

Sofia has Safdar on her mind. Lets see if something can happen.

So is Adil uncle still waiting?

He doesn't say anything. But he never got married.

Come.

Auntie I brought cake for you.

Why did you have to be so formal dear? This is your own house.

yes

Hello.
Come inside.

Get him juice. Chilled. Hurry up.

Its no less than a circus to ride a bike in Karachi's traffic.

Yes I want to buy a car. Even mom wants that.

You will get one. If God wills.

How are you now auntie?
I'm fine.

Yes.

He got married a few days ago and he's stuck at his in laws.

I'll call him now. What was the number?

He's not answering.

This is my son for whom I wasted my entire life. Let him answer once and I'll show him.

Pick up..

Yes mom?

Shut up. Did your in laws allow you to answer your phone?

I have been calling you for long, why didn't you answer?

Mom we were having tea, it doesn't look good to get up in the middle.

So you like it at your in laws. Saif ur Rehman...

You're forcing me to kill you.
Mom please.

Now listen to me carefully.
Yes. Tell me.

Make Agha Ji believe that our small house isn't worth Samiya and that he has to arrange a house.

Mom, I'm not doing any such thing. You can do it yourself.

Fine. I'll do it myself.

If you don't come within an hour, I'll come to pick you up.

mom!

See how he is concerned about them. He will not talk. That wretched boy.

Listen?
Should we leave, mom's calling. I asked something.

Mom is serving dinner.

I will not eat. Mom is waiting.

Did you have dinner?
Yes.

She has made so many preparations. You should tell her no yourself.

Don't you speak at your house as well?

No.
Listen.

I..

Can you tell her to hurry up with dinner

or else my mom will come to pick you up.

I'll tell her.

Your puppet is performing on a new stage today and you're jealous rather than being happy.

I'm not jealous dad. Stop spying on me and Saif.

What do you talk about spying?

I can take him by the ear and throw him out of your life whenever I want.

Those days are gone dad when you reigned supreme and we'd listen to you.

Now you cannot do anything.

I agree

I didn't do good to you or your mother.

But I will not make a mistake now

nor will I let you make a mistake.

I believe that before I break off the strings of your puppet,

you'll leave him yourself.

You're not eating. Come have dinner with me.

I will not discuss it anymore. I promise.

They're standing so far. She's looking pretty. Cute.
Very cute.

I didn't know you could take such good pictures.
I'm a genius.

He's very talented.
Shakeel what nonsense is this?

Delete this immediately. Come on.
Its okay. Its a candid picture. Mom is looking as she is.

Oh God. Where is everyone? They left me alone in the room.
Mom is here. Mom..

Oh. Let me in. Let me see whether he ate or not. Hello.

Did you eat well dear?

What is this? What secret film are you watching that you switched it off as soon as I came.

Nothing. The kids were watching cartoons.

Cartoons. Cartoons..
I know everything. God knows what these girls teaching my innocent son.

As if your aunt joked a little less earlier.
What are you saying? What did I say?

What did you say? Show me as well.
Come on. We were waiting for you.

Move. You wretched people. Why are you laughing?
Please sit.

Now show me what it was.
Yes. Its very interesting. See this.

This is what you're watching.

Sir these are miss Aaliya's details about her family background.

Sir, can I leave now?
Thank you.

Here brother, allow us now.
Aaliya, go and get the gifts.

I thought you people should stay here.

No. We should go home now. I agree our house isn't worth your daughter.

And we can neither provide her with those luxuries she had here but its her house now.

She'll have to settle there. Its okay.

She will gradually settle down in that little house.

Zarina, this size of the house never matters.

Didn't you see? How Samiya changed the face of the house in one day?

I did. Wonderful it was but she cannot push back the walls to create more space. And listen,

Our neighbors have struck lottery. They got a daughter in law but her family gifted them a new apartment as well.

But that boy thanked his in laws and gave the apartment back.

These are a few gifts for you. Saif this is for you.

You people are so formal. Its the limit. You didn't have to.

It would be better if you had added a little more money and given to your daughter and son in law

and they would have bought a second hand car. Isn't it so?

I think we should leave mom.
Yes of course. Pick up these things. Lets leave.

These notices mean nothing to me.

Let him do what he wants. My lawyers will set him straight.

Dad I don't want this rift to increase. Please.

He wants this. Why don't you understand?

Dad I'm tired.

I already have a case in Paris and now here.

Do you trust me?

Yes.

Then show him your strength.

Show him that if he wants to fight, you'll fight back.

And I'm telling you. This notice will come to his throat.

This land didn't belong to him and neither will it ever be.

How many times after slipping will you learn these stairs need to be fixed.

Its not the stairs' fault.
then?

Its yours.

I look at you and I slip.
You're a useless man talking uselessly.

Should we have breakfast somewhere?
I'm already done. I'm getting late.

Lunch?

Whats wrong with you?

Lunch?
No.

You take after Changez Khan. Listen up.
What is it?

I need a commitment. Will you marry someone else?

Have you lost your mind early in the morning?

God created you leisurely, very peacefully. Anybody can like you.

That's true.
So..

So if I find someone who God created as good as me, it can be done.
I'll shoot him.

Now can I go?

Why am I even asking?

I want a commitment? Will you marry someone else? God has created you in leisure.

Anybody can like you.
That's true.

Madam if you want to drive slow, you should walk, why drive?

Go away. Mind your own business.

They'll tell us now.

Great.

Whats so great about it?

Your brother, your rival has offered me a job.

First time I think he isn't as stupid as I think he is.

Sorry but I have my reservations about it. I'm amazed.

How could he text me? And rather than being angry, you're not upset

This happens Aaliya. This is how people get opportunities and go further in their careers.

You will not stay with me all your life. You'll go where there are good prospects.

What are you trying to say?

Accept Asfar's offer and join immediately.

It will be best for him and for us.
