-
Those killers…
-
my heartfelt curses will get them.
-
God will take them to task...
-
and the world will witness it!
-
Do you really not know how much I like you?
-
How much I love you?
-
It is in your power to testify is it not?
-
We are weak women.
-
All we have right now is our honor.
-
Had it only been a matter of our lives we would have given those up a long time ago
-
but we cannot give up our honor.
-
Zain, wait! Listen to me!
-
Why are you angry with me?
-
You don’t know why?
-
What do you mean?
-
You can ask me you know!
-
Why should I?
-
Ask me because yesterday you told me that you loved me.
-
You have every right to ask me anything you want.
-
And the fact that you went and sat in someone else’s car without admitting that you loved me,
-
should I consider that as my answer?
-
This is not what you think Zain! You misunderstood everything.
-
Wait, listen to me!
-
You have to trust me.
-
Mr. Azlan holds no importance in my life.
-
Please fix your mood; don’t spoil it because of this.
-
I trust you!
-
It’s why I share everything that’s personal to me with you.
-
Why is there a lessening in returns?
-
Sir, you know the reason.
-
This should not happen again.
-
Right sir.
-
Greetings sir!
-
I’m feeling so happy to see you in the office today sir.
-
Have a seat.
-
Thank you sir.
-
Don’t worry,
-
I’m going to now start running my business the way I used to run it.
-
Thank you Sir,
-
this was much needed…
-
and we will need your guidance in all matters.
-
Lets do this,
-
Whatever matters that are pending, schedule those…
-
and
-
can I get a profitability report on everything?
-
Please?
-
Okay Sir.
-
Thank you.
-
Thank you Sir.
-
And thank you so much for telling me everything yourself.
-
You have no idea of how much I’ve started to love you.
-
I feel as if I cant spend even moment without you.
-
So soon?
-
See time doesn't matter when one is in love.
-
I’ve already decided that
-
I’m going to send my parents to your house with a proposal right after our finals.
-
I hope you have no objection to my doing so?
-
I’ll be waiting.
-
As will I.
-
I don’t get how we’re going to pass the time till then.
-
But for now we should focus on our studies.
-
My parents have really worked hard to see me here.
-
As has my family.
-
I have to fulfill this dream of mine along with the hopes of others.
-
Everything will turn out fine Zain.
-
God willing.
-
Just don’t get angry with me is all!
-
Arsalan, buddy, there’s no thrill or adventure in life anymore.
-
Yes, life has become dull and monotonous.
-
And to top it all this Covid has also created chaos.
-
So then?
-
I think we should go on a trip somewhere.
-
Maybe the Northern area?
-
Cant do it right now.
-
Why is there a problem?
-
Remember that murder issue that happened?
-
Well dad’s forbidden me from going out because of it.
-
In fact, I’m already quite late so I’m going leave now.
-
There’s going to be hell to pay if he finds out that I’ve gone out.
-
Oh hey, come on buddy!
-
I’m leaving.
-
You all can say whatever but I need to listen to my dad otherwise
-
the little freedom I do have with you all will also be stopped.
-
My dear benefactor,
-
My first presentation today went way beyond my expectations
-
I still cant believe that I’m now able to speak in front so many people
-
And you’re the one that’s given me the confidence to do so
-
Daddy used to say that a person that keeps consoling oneself by saying,
-
‘I cant do it,’ again and again…
-
... convinces oneself of their own worst lie
-
A person standing by the shore looking at the sea spends majority
-
of his life thinking that he would drown if he jumped in…
-
What he doesn't realize is, how will he ever learn to swim if he doesn't jump in
-
You’re the one who made me realize this.
-
Who are you all???
-
Get out of the car!
-
You all don’t know my father!
-
We know him!
-
Let me go!
-
Mask!
-
Let go!
-
Is Arsalan in his room?
-
No Sir, he hasn’t come home as yet.
-
What do you mean?
-
I told you not to let him leave the house.
-
Sir he left and said that I’ll be back soon.
-
How do I make this boy understand anything.
-
Has he taken the guards with him?
-
No Sir.
-
He was driving himself.
-
The number you are dialing cannot be reached at the moment
-
Good evening.
-
Good evening son.
-
Uh… Umair, is Arsalan with you?
-
He left for home quite some time back uncle.
-
But he hasn’t reached home…
-
What? he hasn’t reached home?
-
but he was in a real rush to get home!
-
Greetings Sir.
-
Greetings.
-
My son went out this morning to go somewhere but he still hasn’t returned home.
-
I’m forwarding you his car number.
-
Kindly check your CCTV footage and let me know where he is right now.
-
Please let me know of the area he was seen in last sir.
-
I don’t know the area at this time.
-
Try to do what you can to find out at your soonest and let me know.
-
Alright I’ll let you know what we find out.
-
Oh god,
-
I feel like running away right this very minute.
-
Why???
-
Sir was absolutely right;
-
you’re here to study medicine…
-
Whether it was your choice or not.
-
This is a serious profession which you can’t take as a joke.
-
Azka’s absolutely right.
-
Take her as an example,
-
for someone who’s afraid of lizards ...
-
she got all excited at the thought of dissecting a body like it was something else!
-
That’s true.
-
Tell me something,
-
didn’t you feel even a little afraid?
-
Afraid about what?
-
I’d been waiting for this day for who knows how long!
-
...It’s my dream…
-
my passion.
-
Yes, well everyone’s dreams are being fulfilled out here except for mine!
-
What will become of me out here!
-
Shireen….My heart was feeling real anxious and sad,
-
which is why I decided to come here to you.
-
Good…
-
because maybe by sharing one’s pain it lessens…
-
otherwise…
-
ones memories don’t let one live.
-
You’re very brave…
-
but I’m not so what do I do?
-
After having lost my daughter-in-law and husband,
-
I’m now losing my son as well.
-
What’s wrong with Azlan?
-
I’ve lost that smiling, laughing… ambitious son of mine somewhere.
-
Shanaya’s death has really shaken him up.
-
Do you know something, when Shanaya died…
-
I felt as if I was going to die as well.
-
...But look at me…
-
I’m still alive.
-
I think that maybe time is a great healer.
-
It will heal Azlan as well…
-
time will do it.
-
I pray so very much for him…
-
I pray that God would somehow give him peace.
-
I just want my son to have some peace.
-
Yes, may God will it to be so, amen.
-
Where’s my son?
-
He’s been missing since last night!
-
What is your police force doing about it?!
-
Mr. Arbab, we’ve being searching for him since last night.
-
We’ve searched every hospital every place we could!
-
What does that mean?
-
Our suspicion is that he’s been kidnapped by someone.
-
Who would have the daring to kidnap Arbab Haroon’s son!!!
-
Please control yourself, Mr. Arbab.
-
My son’s been kidnapped…
-
and you’re telling me to keep myself in control???
-
Is there no law or system in this country?!
-
I will set this place on fire!
-
We are trying our level best to find him, Mr. Arbab
-
You call this trying???
-
If my son isn't home by this evening …
-
All hell will break loose!
-
Here you go aunty,
-
some tea for you.
-
There is the one thing though, there is no one as wonderful as you all in this neighborhood.
-
What to say Ismat,
-
I guess it really one’s family values.
-
Being nice and kind to people is what will help one later.
-
I’m actually here to speak to you about something in particular today.
-
It’s really important.
-
I have a relative, you could say that she’s more of a sister really,
-
and she has a son in America.
-
He’s studying for his engineering out there.
-
So?
-
So?
-
He’s a gem of a boy is what he is!
-
He’s decent and very respectable!
-
Had he wanted he could have gotten married in America…
-
But..
-
he will only marry where his mother tells him to!
-
That’s very obedient of him.
-
Think about it because a decent and respectable boy needs a decent and respectable girl to marry.
-
That’s true, aunty.
-
Which is why…
-
I thought of my Azka.
-
…Azka?
-
But Ismat,
-
Azka’s in the first year of medicine…
-
and she still has five years left to go.
-
Oh but they’re not going to take her with them right after the wedding!
-
The boy has just arrived.
-
They will have a wedding ceremony after which the papers will be readied…
-
and by the time all this comes through Azka will have become a doctor
-
and they will take her with them.
-
It really does sound like a very good proposal, aunty.
-
We also want a decent and respectable boy like this for Azka.
-
Well then, I’m bringing them over tomorrow.
-
So soon?
-
Greeting aunty, greeting Ma… greetings.
-
Greetings.
-
Bless you, may you always be happy and content.
-
I’ll just come back after changing…
-
Yes okay.
-
Shaista,
-
I feel very ashamed.
-
I couldn’t look after your Arsalan.
-
I wish you were alive because then you could have taken care of your Arsalan.
-
What do I do?
-
I’ve tried to raise him like a mother and father.
-
...But…
-
I wonder where he is and what conditions he’s in right now!
-
Has Zain actually fallen in love with me?
-
And I?
-
Are we really fated to be together?
-
I pray it would happen.
-
Azka! Azka! Congratulations!
-
What’s happened sister-in-law?
-
Aunty Ismat has brought such a good proposal for you!
-
The boy is an engineer in America!
-
Oh, Azka but your destiny’s turned out to be the best!
-
Yes, sister-in-law but –
-
a proposal -
-
They’re coming over tomorrow to see you.
-
So, if Ma and I like them we will say yes right there and then!
-
But how can you just go ahead and say yes to them sister-in-law
-
when I haven’t even completed a year of my studies?
-
You aren’t leaving right after the ceremony!
-
First, we’ll have the marriage ceremony, then you will get your visa
-
and then after that you will go to America!
-
Oh…
-
Yes sister-in-law, but -
-
Okay look I’m in rush right now
-
so I’ll speak to you about the rest after I come back from work, okay!
-
Congratulations! Congratulations!
-
Ahem… Hello?
-
Hello?
-
Hello?
-
Who is this???
-
Why don’t you speak up?!
-
Hello!
-
Speak up!
-
If you go to the police after today and or you tell them anything,
-
you will find your son’s corpse in a bag at a street corner.
-
Look….
-
if Arsalan is with you then -?
-
‘Then’ what?
-
Then let me speak to him!
-
I will give you whatever you want!
-
Let me speak to him!
-
Hello?!
-
Hello???
-
There number you’re dialing cannot be reached right now. Kindly..
-
Please sir…
-
let me go!
-
Please!
-
My dad must be very upset and worried.
-
I’m my dad’s only child…
-
and I don’t have a mother either.
-
Do you know something?
-
My dad has a lot of money.
-
He will give you all whatever you want!
-
But please…
-
just allow me to make one call to him.
-
Help me!
-
Someone???
-
Dad???
-
Take off his blindfold.
-
But your face isn’t covered, Sir.
-
He’ll recognize you.
-
Your face is covered is it not?
-
Yes.
-
Remove it.
-
Brother Azlan?
-
Brother Azlan,
-
please save me.
-
They’ve kidnapped me.
-
But they brought you here at my say so.
-
If my dad finds out…
-
He won’t you..
-
And who’s going to tell your father?
-
You?
-
You can only tell him if you leave here alive.
-
I’ve given your father 24 hours.
-
And if he doesn't listen to me,
-
then I will cut your corpse into pieces and throw them before him!
-
Is that understood!
-
Record a video of him.
-
Tell your father…
-
to come set you free.
-
...And if he doesn't save you…
-
then he can pick up his son’s corpse.
-
If he mentions my name in the video,
-
shoot him!
-
Please dad…
-
My Lord,
-
You have always helped me.
-
You’ve always seen me through any trials and tribulations.
-
And so even now…
-
I pray to You in the very same hope…
-
You know what’s in my heart and what will make me happy…
-
My happiness …
-
and love…
-
is only Zain.
-
Please finish this relationship…
-
Help me O Lord,
-
Ease my path.
-
Amen.
-
Sir, someone threw this outside at the gate.
-
Please dad,
-
Save me!
-
These people will kill me!
-
Dad!
-
Save me!
-
Hello?
-
Sir, did the kidnapper call you?
-
No.
-
Please let us know the moment you get a call Sir as our police force is on the alert.
-
Why are you doing this to me, brother Azlan?
-
What have we ever done to hurt you?
-
My dad ….
-
must be suffering without me.
-
If you have no mercy for me …
-
then at least have some for him.
-
Your father is my wife and baby’s killer.
-
No, no, no,
-
that’s not possible.
-
Dad would never do anything like that.
-
You’re under some misapprehension, brother Azlan.
-
If you ever get the chance, ask your father…
-
Wasn’t he responsible for having my wife killed?
-
Wasn’t he responsible for my father’s death?
-
My child died before he was even born!
-
Did he not suffer then?
-
But now when it’s about his own son’s life,
-
he’s suffering?
-
Arsalan… oye!
-
The man you trampled under your car and killed,
-
he was also someone’s father, someone’s son, someone’s husband!
-
You destroyed the happiness of a happy, thriving family!
-
You have no right to live.
-
You should die.
-
Your father is a killer….
-
as are you.
-
Blindfold him.
-
Stop!
-
Listen to me!
-
Punish me,
-
not my father!
-
How are you here?
-
Azlan,
-
you must already know…
-
that Arbab Haroon’s son’s been kidnapped.
-
Tch, tch, tch…
-
I didn’t know.
-
But I have a suspicion…
-
that you had him kidnapped.
-
Hmm…
-
Suspicion?
-
But suspicion doesn't hold any value in your world.
-
The law requires proof.
-
And if you have proof against me …
-
then bring it.
-
I am your friend Azlan …
-
so I understand your feelings…
-
but the law wont understand them.
-
So before people start to put two and two together,
-
set the boy free.
-
Wali,
-
I’m done studying the law so don’t teach it to me.
-
Azlan….
-
Don’t take the law into your own hands
-
You will suffer a huge loss.
-
What more loss will I have….
-
than what I’ve already borne?
-
Shall I call for tea or are you leaving?
-
I’ll be leaving.
-
This is for the phone balance recharge…
-
What’s the matter Azka?
-
Azka?
-
What’s wrong?
-
Why are you looking so nervous?
-
Is everything alright?
-
I don’t want to get married, sister-in-law.
-
Just listen to this, you scared the hell out of me.
-
My heart got anxious, wondering what had happened.
-
All girls say that they don’t want to get married.
-
But one has to do so one day!
-
Daughters are a treasure that belong to someone else, all we are is their guardians… hmm?
-
Yes sister-in-law but I -
-
Listen to me,
-
you’ve received a really good marriage proposal.
-
why are you looking for bad luck by refusing and making a long face from before.
-
When are we getting you married now anyways?
-
Finish your studies in comfort first.
-
You still have so many stages to get through and you’re worrying unnecessarily.
-
Tch…
-
Alright enough, enough, now get up.
-
Come then get up.
-
...Tch,
-
I just told you to get up.
-
Go on off with you, go.
-
The man you trampled under your car and killed,
-
he was also someone’s father, someone’s son, someone’s husband!
-
You have no right to live.
-
You should die.
-
Your father is a killer….
-
as are you.
-
I never thought….
-
that I would face such a time!
-
Imdad Husain….
-
someone actually went ahead and kidnapped my son?
-
What is their demand, Sir?
-
I have no idea.
-
You have many enemies Sir, God knows who’s kidnapped Master Arsalan -
-
Hello?
-
You have 24 hours.
-
Go confess your crime of the murder of that girl!
-
What girl?
-
I haven't killed anyone!
-
Don’t talk nonsense!
-
You know everything!
-
You have 24 hours do it
-
or else you’ll only find your son’s dead body!
-
Wait, listen!
-
Who was it, Sir?
-
Where are you going Sir?
-
Sir, this matter won’t get solved with anger!
-
I’ve been noting all morning that you’re very quiet…
-
in class and even right now.
-
Zain I’ve received a proposal….
-
and they’re coming over to our place today.
-
A proposal?
-
The boy’s an engineer in America.
-
And… they want at least a marriage ceremony for now.
-
What kind of talk is this?
-
How can you think it?
-
You know very well that I -
-
I don’t want this!
-
My Ma wants it.
-
My sister-in-law wants it.
-
You tell me, who in their right minds would refuse a good proposal?
-
Then why don’t you tell them about me!
-
What should I tell them?
-
Tell them that you and I -
-
What? You and I what, Zain?
-
Tell me, what should I tell them?
-
Have you spoken to your family about us?
-
I don’t even know whether they’ll accept me or not ….
-
because there’s such a huge difference between our statuses.
-
But when are we also that rich?
-
But you all better off.
-
You have two men as breadwinners in your house.
-
You are at least in a better position than us.
-
Such things don’t make a difference to me.
-
So fine,
-
speak to your family about us….
-
and tell them to at least bring a proposal to my house.
-
The circumstances in my house at present aren’t conducive to a discussion on this topic right now.
-
What happened?
-
Sister Zunaira’s engagement just broke and my mother is very worried about her.
-
And the financial condition of my home right now is such that
-
my parents can only afford to pay for my studies.
-
I cannot even think of getting married at this time.
-
But I’m not saying that they should get us married, Zain.
-
All I’m saying is that they should at least come to my house with a proposal.
-
They can get us engaged for now and we can get married after we’ve become doctors.
-
I can speak to my mother but I’m positive she won’t agree.
-
Where’s the point of this if you’re going to say negative things from before….
-
At least speak to them about it.
-
Fine,
-
I’ll speak to them.
-
But you also need to refuse your family for this marriage.
-
I won’t be able to bear you marrying someone else with me around.
-
Remember one thing, you are mine Azka and you will always remain mine.
-
Yes Sir?
-
I’ve come to meet Mr. Azlan.
-
Mr. Azlan, it’s the gate guard.
-
Mr. Azlan, it’s the gate guard.
-
Yes, what is it?
-
Sir, Mr. Arbab is here to meet you.
-
Let him in.
-
Sir….he has his guards with him as well.
-
Send only him inside.
-
Sir, you may go in on your own
-
but your security guards, however, are not permitted to enter.
-
Imdad Hussain, wait out here.
-
Greetings uncle.
-
How are you here?
-
You know …
-
why I’m here!
-
I’m asking you this decently now.
-
Where have you got my son!
-
Arsalan?
-
Why?
-
What’s happened to Arsalan?
-
I will shoot you!
-
Call them right now and tell them to release my son!
-
Are you accusing me?
-
Phone them right now.
-
Phone them right now or else - !
-
Or else you’ll shoot me?
-
Right?
-
So, take out your gun….
-
and shoot me.
-
But do remember one thing,
-
if anything happens to me,
-
then you will be responsible for what happens next.
-
You think you’ll get away with kidnapping my son?
-
You also got away, didn’t you?
-
Shanaya was not -
-
Do not mention my wife’s name!
-
You!
-
I’ll have an FIR registered against you!
-
Do you have proof?
-
Tch, tch, tch…
-
No, right?
-
Go home.
-
Don’t waste any more of your time or my time.
-
Azlan, son,
-
I’m pleading with you…
-
I beg you.
-
Don’t hurt my son.
-
It’s not up to me,
-
it’s all….
-
up to you.
-
You understand.
-
Now go home and think about it.
-
And then you can decide what you want to do.
-
Okay?
-
They’ve come with a proposal for Azka.
-
Oh okay, okay… I see, I see.
-
Where’s Kanwal?
-
She went out and should be back any moment now.
-
God be praised the boy is educated and he’s come down from America.
-
He’s a total gem!
-
Okay.
-
Uh… Aliha,
-
Yes?
-
Go quickly and get a cold drink… but bring a big one.
-
Do you want me to get from brother Abid’s shop?
-
No, no!
-
Get it from brother Hussain’s shop.
-
Alright.
-
Good girl.
-
Come back quickly.
-
Please come and sit?
-
Please come…
-
come.
-
Please have a seat.
-
Azka! Azka!
-
Quickly get up! Get up!
-
What’s wrong, Ma?
-
They’ve come with the proposal.
-
Come down quickly.
-
Who are these people?
-
I don’t want to get married!
-
Be quiet!
-
what’s wrong with you!
-
You have such a wonderful proposal after so many prayers!
-
When does one get such good proposals!
-
And after that Abid - thank God, we’re rid of that Abid!
-
Ma…but…
-
I don’t want to hear any ifs and buts!
-
Enough!
-
Now come on!
-
Aliha?
-
Yes?
-
Come here dear.
-
Where are you going?
-
I’m going to get a cold drink.
-
So, take it from me.
-
No, grandma told me not to take it from you.
-
Why not?
-
I don’t know.
-
Who are you getting the cold drink for?
-
We have guests over at the house.
-
You all have guests over.
-
This is my daughter-in-law Kanwal.
-
Not daughter-in-law, just consider me as her daughter.
-
Sister Khatija, please call for Azka.
-
Yes, of course.
-
There she is.
-
Greetings.
-
Greetings.
-
Uh… Azka.
-
This is our dear Azka.
-
God be praised she is studying to become a doctor.
-
She is a very obedient, good and respectable child.
-
God be praised.
-
My dear I really like you.
-
And this son of mine, Talha,
-
he wants a girl just like you.
-
Do I have your permission to place an engagement ring on your daughter?
-
We can do the rest after the wedding ceremony?
-
Yes, yes, please do so.
-
Thank you.
-
Sister!!!
-
No one dare look at Azka!
-
She’s, my fiancé!
-
The only person she will marry is me!
-
Have you gone crazy!
-
When did you get engaged?
-
How come I never knew?
-
I was in the process of marrying her …
-
Aliha fell! The wedding had to be postponed because of it!
-
Even now the only reason I’m waiting is because of her studies...
-
otherwise, I would have married and taken her away a long time ago!
-
Stop talking nonsense and get out of here!
-
I’ll deal with you later.
-
Oh hey,
-
you all get up… come on!
-
Leave!
-
Find a match for your son elsewhere.
-
Now go on!
-
What I don’t understand is,
-
when the girl was already engaged…
-
Then why were we invited to come here?
-
Uh… There’s no such thing.
-
No one becomes a claimant just like that you know,
-
there has to be something in it for it to be so.
-
And Ismat,
-
I will see to you later!
-
Come son, let’s go from here.
-
You won’t refrain from this kind of behavior will you!
-
I will not, even if I’m dead.
-
And you had also best listen and listen good….
-
If you even think of anyone other than me,
-
I will you kill you.
