Sirf Tum

Our family has put us in a lot of difficulty.

No one is forcing you,

if you want, you can say no.

But you too don’t want to get married like this.

You must think that

Hannan in place of Hamza suddenly.

Don’t take his name, I don’t even want to hear his name.

Why?

He shouldn’t have run away hiding his face like a coward.

If he wanted, he could have said no the wedding in front of everyone.

What do you think?

I would have forcefully gotten on his head?

Not at all.

I know you are pretty straight forward.

Why are you getting married?

Out of the pressure of the family?

Hannan,

please speak the truth, I will like it.

I like a girl.

Wont you ask, who?

When you have told me this, then you tell me about her yourself.

Sara.

Sara?

She was in my university.

I started liking her from the first year.

She was extremely sober, simple girl,

and when this liking changed to love, I didn’t find out.

But I was sure, she too likes me.

Then?

I didn’t want to have an affair with her,

I don’t consider all this good, Abeer.

I wanted that I marry her with respect and bring her home.

But by the time grandma spoke to her,

I found out that my silence distanced her from me.

She got engaged somewhere else on her mother’s directive.

Oh.

But I am sad that I might never be able to forget her.

Do you still want to marry me after finding out my truth?

You told me your truth,

I also have a truth.

I didn’t believe in love.

I got ready to marry Hamza cause mama told me to.

I had made up my mind that whatever it is, it is here.

That is why I was trying my best to accept Hamza in my heart.

Last night he called me in the terrace.

The environment I have been brought up, this is not a big deal for me.

Mama, I am really worried.

Abeer is very childish.

I don’t know what the two must be talking about.

Hey Hannan is a sober and smart child.

I from the start wanted Abeer to marry Hannan.

But he said no, had he agreed earlier, what would have been lost?

What do you mean?

He had said no.

Hey, no,

he liked some other girl.

But mama, this is not right,

this way that poor Hannan will be forced.

I had to marry Hannan somewhere, so why not with our Abeer.

Hannan is a good boy,

a million times better than Hamza.

God has surely written something good in our Abeer’s fate,

that is why she didn’t marry Hamza. Now don’t worry.

I don’t know

what is written in our child’s fate.

Hey, it will all be good. Don’t worry.

Last night he took me to his room to show me the decoration of the room.

I too thought he is my cousin, we are going to get married,

there is nothing bad in it.

So I went to his room without thinking.

When I realized that he is trying to get frank,

on which I objected.

You know what he said?

He said, where you have come from, the environment you have been brought up in,

I know it well.

So don’t try to act decent in front of me.

What he wanted from me,

I couldn’t do it.

So he said no to the marriage and went.

If this Hamza was in front of me I would have slapped him hard.

It is not his fault. it is my own fault.

I trusted him, I thought he is my cousin,

I had thought he is a good man,

but I made a mistake in judging him.

I shouldn’t have gone to his room like this.

Now,

after finding out all this,

would you want to marry me?

Hannan, I know well,

that we are getting married for our families.

Neither you love me, nor do I love you.

You walking like this and making faces will not do anything, Farah.

You forgive me.

It is better that you don’t talk to me right now, I am really worried.

Talk slowly.

Farah, be quiet right now, there is such a big worry at home.

I don’t know where the children are. Ijaz, call them.

Mama, don’t worry, they will come. They must be on the way.

If all this had to be done later,

then what was the need to worry my son?

We made homeless for no reason.

He will come. He too will come.

He didn’t leave forever.

You are worried about him being homeless,

and you don’t think that the respect of our entire home is on the line.

Farah, think,

if Abeer and Hannan don’t have an understanding,

then our respects will be ruined. It will be ruined.

You just always blame my son.

Did you people ever think why he left from this home?

To bring us shame.

Ijaz, you call.

I don’t know where the children are.

At times,

making decisions is really difficult.

You saved our respect,

no matter what I do,

I can never repay your favour.

I pray a lot for you.
