أول 200 سطر.
Murad.
Yes, mama. Greetings.
Greetings.
You took so long to come. Huh?
I was waiting for you for so long.
All okay, mama?
Have a seat.
All is okay and all is not okay as well.
I have to talk to you about something important.
Itrat called.
I thought before I decide, I should talk to you clearly.
what decision, mama?
You know, Faisal.
Itrat’s husband,
I am unable to decide about him.
Yes, he is going to Dubai for a few days, right?
How do you know?
I got a call from him today.
Okay, so tell me, what should we do?
What, mama? I don’t understand.
Should I invite him on the wedding or not?
Oh, we should call him.
And he will surely come
and he should come,
after all he is Itrat’s husband.
I know, he deserves to come,
but I don’t think I should invite him.
You are lucky, Chaudary Murad Hashmat Ali,
or else today…
I know, he is idiotic, he will come after Itrat.
And this time Itrat has especially begged me asked me
to surely send an invitation to my husband.
We should surely send him an invite, in fact,
I will go give it to him myself.
Fine, then.
But don’t insist too much,
the man from a small family will get on your head.
Sure.
Did you get the money for Shaukat?
Yes.
Then give it.
You go to Itrat’s home tomorrow,
and I will go to Nudrat’s home and give money to Shaukat.
Sure.
Did you count the money?
Yes.
Why are you wasting the vegetables?
If mama sees it, you will be trouble.
I am starting a new diet plan.
I have put on a lot of weight.
There is no point of getting into these things.
Study in your free time,
it will be of use.
Don’t just give me advice, sister.
Also get me permission from mama for me to take an admission in the university.
My education stopped for no reason because of sister Itrat.
The university and job is left as a dream.
And if mama finds out about you going around in your dreams as Cinderella,
then you know what will happen?
No one is acting like Cinderella.
It is my only brother’s marriage, and I want to look good in it.
And I am doing all this for my happiness
and not to impress some prince.
Will Mannat’s brother who plays cricket come to the wedding?
He is her brother,
so he will surely come to his sister’s wedding.
What rule book says this
that it is necessary for the brother to come to the sister’s wedding?
I will not go to Murad’s wedding.
Why?
I don’t want to.
Sister.
Papa,
when will we go to the market?
I want to get a lengha and bangles for uncle’s wedding.
We will go child,
first let your miser uncle give us money.
Nudrat,
what is the update?
Aunt had said she will give one fifty thousand,
when will we get it?
Then don’t say
I didn’t take you two to shop for the wedding.
Are you not ashamed?
You look at my brother for everything.
You are really taking the side of your family.
Usually, you are always
making excuses and filling your wallet,
didn’t you not realize then?
This time, we have a right.
I am the elder son in law of that home.
Aunt is not doing me a favour giving me a hundred to one fifty thousand.
Call your brother,
tell him to deliver the money right now
or else if I get stubborn,
then I wont go to the wedding.
You will have to take the family without me.
You will become a joke in front of Murad’s in-laws.
Understand?
Come on, call him.
Pinky, child, you go.
Call your uncle. Come on, go quickly.
Don’t you dare.
Don’t you dare touch it, I will break your hands.
Give it to me.
Get lost.
You had bricked my phone earlier too.
So much anger?
I will call, try breaking my hand.
I will break your head.
How are you talking to your husband?
If you have a husband like you,
then this is how you talk.
Nudrat.
What is this? How are you crying loudly?
Be quiet.
Open the door.
Open the door, Nudrat.
Mama.
You took so long, see,
he has taunted me so much and insulted me badly.
Aunt, I didn’t say anything to her.
She started crying just like that.
I just asked aunt was going to come to give one fifty thousand rupees,
when will she come?
She made up a story.
She does this aunt.
She does this,
she create stories on small thing.
I have faced a big loss marrying her, aunt.
Neither did I get a son,
nor any peace in life.
You tell me yourself,
You tell me yourself, aunt,
the money in the hands of the man
stays with the fate of a woman, right?
She didn’t even bring that fate.
Mama, see,
he taunts me a hundred times in every statement.
Murad was making arrangements.
It takes time.
Count it.
It is one fifty thousand rupees.
Now you have to come to the wedding happily.
And I shouldn’t see her with a swollen face.
Yes, mama.
Aunt, what was the need for this?
This is what was needed.
No, I mean that
when a person has daughters, then
you have to care for their happiness.
Wow, aunt, wow.
See,
learn something from aunt.
This is what a good family does.
Aunt, you sit and talk to him,
I will bring a cold drink for you.
I will just come.
Idiot.
Ballay. Ballay. Ballay. Ballay. Ballay.
Mama,
I will make tea for you bring it.
Hey, I will not have tea.
Give me the money. Give it to me.
You are taking it all.
I put it on the effort.
Hey leave it.
I did all the acting in front of mama,
and you are for free…
Give me a little.
No...
Come here.
Why are you standing there?
Come here, sit with grandma.
Don’t you want to hug grandma?
Did you hug her? Okay,
then give her a kiss.
Hey, this…
I have to buy a phone.
A phone worth one fifty thousand?
I have to get a silk kurta and a Multani shoe,
that too with intricate design.
Whatever money is left from the clothes,
you get the phone from it.
Go get cold drink for mama first.
Hey, give me the money.
Here. That’s all.
Just five hundred?
Give me a thousand. Give it.
Here. Also, get biscuits.
Aunt will have biscuits at home.
I will only get the cold drink.
Uncle Murad had got it for you on your birthday.
It is kept.
You have it kept?
Here you go.
Hundred rupees.
But aunty, how is that possible?
I mean,
the bride wears the dress from the girl’s family, right?
