Ehraam-e-Junoon

I am tired of these daily get togethers of yours.

and I am tired of these daily taunts of yours.

You have forgotten that I too am a living and lively person.

I too have a right to be happy.

I had told you on day one that I will not be a trophy wife,

who will wait for her husband day and night.

You didn’t even wait at night.

Oh God.

Till when will you taunt me for our wedding night? Please, I am tired.

If you are tired, then why are the two of us together?

We are together? You are so funny Kamran.

Shanzay,

are you going somewhere, child?

Yes, dad.

Hey,

come here.

Hey, no hello, hi, no greetings, no talk.

How can you leave like a stranger? Come here.

You know this is your fault. You are so busy with business.

Yes, like you sit shoulder to shoulder with her all the time.

You know I am an independent woman,

why do you start lecturing me like this all the time?

May I go, please?

Sit with us for a while and talk.

I am getting late, dad.

You people talk.

Have fun.

This…

She doesn’t spend time with us because of your middle class attitude.

For God’s sake, stop being misled.

She is upset with both of us.

She doesn’t want to sit with both of us, because the two of us don’t give her time.

I am here.

You go on your long business tours.

Being here and giving her time are two different things.

When does she spend time here at home.

She is with her best friend Ramla all day long.

Okay, anyway, tell me, did you talk about Fahad or not?

Yes, I did. She rejected him.

I don’t know what she wants,

she is rejecting such good proposals.

I thought she would definitely accept Fahad’s proposal.

You must not have insisted.

You used to tell me that Fahad is a good match for her.

Yes, I still think that.

But your daughter does what she wants.

Just like you.

Hi.

I was just going to call you. Really?

Yes. Why? I didn’t get late.

We will have to cancel the shopping plan for today.

What? Why?

Come with me or I will kidnap you. Are you threatening me?

Of course not. I am really bored. Come, please.

Please agree, we will go some other day.

We will go today, understand? Then you go alone.

Fine, Ramla Haider,

from today wherever Shanzay Kamran goes, she will go alone. I don’t need anyone.

What is wrong?

You are always ready to spoil your mood.

There is a reason, that is why I am saying it.

Oh, so this is the reason?

Yes, Faiq called.

I have to go with him.

Hi. Hi.

Faiq, this is Shanzay, my best buddy. And Shanzay….

This is Faiq, your dad’s beloved nephew.

Ramla, I will go say hello to uncle. Yes, sure.

Excuse me.

How did you find Faiq?

Like all boys are, acting decent and sober in front of girls. That’s how.

It is useless to talk to you.

Anyway, aunty was telling me that you also rejected Fahad’s proposal too.

I don’t understand if you will find the boy you want in this world or not?

I will surely find him.

The one who has nothing to do with my beauty and wealth.

And the love you talk about, he will make me aware of it.

I think I should go now. It is becoming hard for you to tolerate it.

and don’t worry, we will go watch a movie tomorrow.

Great. Bye. Bye.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

You dropped your keys.

Oh thanks. It is okay.

Excuse me.

How many times in the day do you pick up and give things back to girls?

What are you thinking?

I am thinking how many times in a day, do you drop your things like this seeing boys?

You are mistaken.

Okay fine, I am mistaken, but not misled like you.

Oh God, Shanzay, you are at home.

Had I known, I would have taken you to aunt Jojo’s.

You would have had fun.

Mama, you know, I don’t enjoy in such gatherings.

You know me really well.

I know you are an old soul.

Mrs. Nawaz was asking about you.

She introduces me to her son, Asjad.

Very charming boy.

So what?

I think she is interested in you.

For Asjad.

Asjad is no ordinary boy,

he is highly educated,

he is good looking and he is the only owner of his dad’s business empire.

I feel that you people don’t want life partners for your children,

but an expensive show piece that you can keep at home.

That’s not true.

That is, mom.

Greetings mama. Greetings son. Come. Come.

How was Fahim’s reception.

It went really well, I gave him your message. He was greeting you.

Okay you come here to me.

My son looks really good, let me remove the evil eye from my son.

You went without meeting me, you got ready and left. I didn’t see you.

Yes, the aunt from the neighbours was sitting with you,

that is why I didn’t think it was right to disturb you.

After all, I also had to get a gift for Fahim, so I left.

Okay.

My brother looks so good.

You know, whenever you wear this suit and go out, I pray for you that you come back home safely.

That is why I don’t make more than one suit so that you people don’t worry.

Hey, man, take another one.

You wear the same one and go to every friend’s wedding.

Does no one make fun of you?

Hey, no way.

My friends are not like yours.

They know well the difficulty with which I made one suit on my graduation.

Mama, you remember, right?

Yes, what else? It is wastage of money.

You make suits and hang them, even if you don’t wear them.

Yes, what else?

Now. May God bring the time when my son will get married.

Then we will have one suit for the wedding, and a great one for the reception.

Yes, absolutely.

So, what about me? I am also here.

Who will get it made for me? One for him, and one for me.

Here we go, he is in such a hurry.

Sister, you leave it.

I had to get suits made on your wedding too,

but I don’t see any chances of you getting married any time soon.

Okay, don’t get over now.

I will change. I have to go to the job too.

Leave it, the whole day has passed.

No, I will put in a late shift, I am already late.

Put this on charge quickly, the battery is dying.

.

Hey, let go of this old phone.

Seeing your personality it doesn’t seem that you will own a phone worth fifteen thousand.

It is not worth fifteen thousand.

How many times have I told you not to talk to your brother like this.

Hey, mama, leave it. Who takes him seriously?

He is young, when he grows up he will know how bad wasting money is.

and what is this? When will you grow up?

You leave your things everywhere. Who will take care of it?

Meaning a person should stop taking a bath here.

It is sister in law.

Greetings, how are you now?

I am much better now.

Take care of yourself.

Why do you make your BP shoot so much?

I don’t make it shoot by choice,

and I am also taking my medication regularly, and I am also on a diet.

You can ask Sajeela if you want.

I know she takes lots of care of you.

May God keep her happy.

When I get a little better, then I will visit you.

Give love and prayers to your children.

Goodbye.

Okay Goodbye.

She is saying, she is better.

Mama, you should have asked Shani, he would have gone and dropped you on a bike.

Okay leave this.

If we mention this too much, then he will think about it.

Even if you don’t mention it, mama, he will still think about them.

He loves Sajeela.

When a sister is at home, then brothers don’t love.

He understands this well.

What happened, mama? Is everything fine?

Yes, Farzana called.

Her BP had shot up, but she is fine now.

Okay, I will meet her on my way.

Okay, I will go. Goodbye.

Goodbye.

How many times in the day do you pick up and give things back to girls?

I am thinking how many times in a day, do you drop your things like this seeing boys?

You are mistaken.

Okay fine, I am mistaken, but not misled like you.

I feel he must also be really rich with a good face,

that is why his head was in the clouds.

Stupid.

You?

What did you think?

Someone came to deliver pizza to your home without ordering?

Not me, but the neighbours must have surely thought this.

Okay, go inside.

You please go back.

What must the neighbours be thinking?

Hey, to hell with the neighbours, I came to meet my aunt.

But what was the need to come dressed like this?
