Kuch Ankahi - First Season

Don't even take a step out of this office.

What do you think? you can just barge into my office, my house or my life?

And you'll leave when you want to.

Take your resignation and go back to your seat.

Save for yourself. Its the same thing, Saif.

Its not.

They'll prove useful. You'll need them.

This is why I said I needed a commitment.

If you don't have trust, even a commitment is useless.

Didn't I say you could.. And even I said I'd marry the day I find someone like me.

Did something happen aunty?

Nothing dear but it seems something might happen. I'm feeling anxious.

If you do something wrong, I'll kill you.

This uniform is so tight. I cannot breathe. Oh God..

Stand upright. Straight!

Yes? Tell me?

Now tell me clearly, do you want to settle scores here or in the police station?

But sir, what is my fault?

I am a respectable man in this neighborhood and you've brought police.

You're a respectable man in this neighborhood which is why I'm here

and I'm telling you to tell this lady whatever she's asking.

Or else I'll take you to the police station and lay you straight and then inquire.

Tell us about Mona? What happened at the office?

Nothing.. Nothing?

Sir, see I don't know anything. I have small kids. I'll lose my job.

The engineer will destroy me.

Nobody will say anything. Just tell me who was in the office that day?

Just the engineer.

Tell the governor that I'd come to the governor house whenever he wants me to.

Its a pleasure.

Yes. Please sit.

Yes, now tell me, how can I help you?

Sir, you saw our documentary about Taxilla.

Yes. It was really good.

Sir we want to make it on a grand scale so that we can send it over to international film festivals.

Okay. And we need funds for that.

Alright. How much would your budget be?

Approximately 70 to 80 hundred thousand rupees.

I'll discuss with the board and we'll tell you what we can do. Thank you sir.

Its my pleasure. We love helping students

and that documentary on Taxilla, perfect combination of art and history

Thank you so much sir. The credit goes to Mona sir, it was her idea.

Mona? Is she coming to the university?

Do you know Mona?

I mean, how do you know Mona isn't coming to the university.

How would I know her? I was just saying that I heard this name for the first time,

New admission?

No sir. She's our class fellow and it was about her that we're here..

Sir we'll leave now. Lets go Tanya. Bye sir. Thank you.

Mona went to the office. I took tea inside.

The engineer was showing some documents to Mona.

Then I heard something falling down

and Mona came out looking scared.

She ran towards the gate.

I recorded the entire thing the engineer said.

Tanya?

Ali I cannot talk right now.

Give me a call.

People are bad but so evil..

People are evil but there are more who are good. Or else the world would have ended long ago.

I have told you so many times to inform before you come so that I can cook what you like.

I'm cooking chicken in pickles now.

Mom if I tell you before coming, it won't be a surprise.

Dad I brought a kurta for you. Do you want me to get it stitched.

Dear buy things for your family now. Not us.

I bought for them as well when I got my first cheque. All praise to the Lord.

And mom, this is a shawl for you. Dear when did you start working?

Actually when Tanya's documentary project started she gave me the contract for jewelry design.

See how our youngest turned out to be so sensible.

She speaks less but acts more.

That's what I'm scared for her. She fights the wind.

By the way mom, you know your daughters very well.

Whatever you said, it happened to me.

that I will fix everything and Tanya and Aaliya also fix everything and they'll do forever.

As God wills.

How is Zareena treating you?

She has changed a lot dad.

The generator, the new bathroom tiles, her attitude is improving as the house improves.

May God make it better.

Dad do you want me to make tea for you?

You're missing it right? I'll just make it.

Oh, you didn't go to pick Samiya?

I'll change before I go.

Don't leave a girl for so long at her parents' house. Go and bring her.

And do one thing. Take some leaves and take her somewhere. You didn't even go on your honeymoon.

What happened? Now you care for her?

She's a very good girl. See how she changed this house.

You should praise her on her face as well.

No. We don't praise our daughter in laws on their faces. They take it to their heads.

Had Shagufta been there in her place. I would have killed her.

She says the same thing.

God forbid. I knew you were still having an affair with her.

See, I'm telling you for the last time. Get rid of that wretched woman. She'll destroy you and this house.

Why are you smiling?

It looks good when you're scared.

Shut up with your nonsense. I'll hit you with a sandal now.

You've always hit me ever since I was a child. You punished me for the smallest things.

You would give me time out or throw me out in the cold.

My back still has marks from that stick.

Alright I made you a human being this way. No. You turned me into a slave.

And now I'm used to being a slave. I want a wife who,

Saif, Saif... What happened, what will you do now?

That wretched woman teaches him such things. What will he do? What happened to you!

I need to discuss something important with you. I'm in a rush. Is it important?

I don't need a car or a mobile phone.

Its in your contract. You should have read it before you signed it.

I did read it. All this was not mentioned in it.

Yes because this is our company policy.

Had there been anybody else in your place they would have received a phone and a car as well.

By the way its a company maintained car, so you can leave this car when you quit the job.

Amazing camera sister Samiya. Thank you so much. You're welcome.

You're welcome. You've given a coconut to a monkey.

Ill mannered. He deserves this.

I'll go and show this to uncle. He wanted me to sign in exchange of this camera.

Are you worried? A little.

What happened? nothing sister

Who is this idiot at this hour?

Keep an eye on this, I'll check.

It must be Thanvi. Only he can do this stupidity. Let me see

If its him, he'll hear from me as well. He is bringing down the entire neighborhood.

Did they tell you your jobs would have such perks?

Honestly I didn't know at first then Asfar told me it was part and parcel of the job.

Your father was scared about the company and this man,

but this Asfar, he is better than his sister.

In the start I would think he was a dry man but he isn't.

So will you get commission with your sales or just basic salary?

2% commission but I'm not sure.

Will brother Saif pick you or will you go yourself?

Saif is very busy in his work so I should get going.

Dear I'll drop you. Dad I'm a grown up. I'll go myself.

You're the same for us. Go and get Tanya and drop your sister home in your new car.

Alright, I'll go and get my bag.

When everything is cooked, why this omelet?

I felt like it but do I need a written permission for this as well?

No. Just a formal one would do. Keep the spice level a little less.

Your brain is already in a frenzy.

You're here to discuss Aaliya car.

Its a good one. She has become successful.

May God give her more success.

Its good to see her.

Weren't you happy?

I am which is why I'm making an omelet?

Egg omelet or with your brains?

Mom don't bug me.

Alright I'm not. I'll talk Agha Ji and Shamoo and get you fixed.

You're going mad.

Of course not.

Let her be successful first. Let her become the CEO and then you can talk.

Its the limit. Are you really insecure about her success and her car?

I'm not insecure about any such thing.

Then? Maybe she'll want to change her decision.

Not at all. Nobody would change their decision for such things but she can get fed up of your mood.

That's why I'll not ask for your permission and fix your marriage.

Why didn't brother Saif came to pick you?

actually... I'll tell you.

Saif has a lot of work in his office these days.

Saif goes early in the morning and comes late at night.

My question is. Does he still meet that girl? Let me tell you. I didn't ask him.

Tell the truth, you would have said this right? Yes I would.

I'm happy. He cares for me and,

if he cares for me why should I question him like a typical wife.

Alright so my next question is,

he works so hard in his office, he works for fifteen hours a day, why doesn't he get a bonus?

Because he never asked for it.

As it is, he is a self made man.

Is he self made or does he lack courage?

If both of you question me again, I'll jump from the car.

No. You don't. We'll jump from the car.

Don't you see I'm happier than before? Yes you do.

So this is it.

Saif?

Mobile?

Or you tell me yourself.

You know everything.

I want to hear you say it?

Not today.

We've spent so many painful nights together. One more night won't do any harm.

A little time ago I felt I had had my share of pain

and everything was gradually getting fine.

Or it would be.

But no.

Didn't I tell you? I told you.

Nothing would change or be fine.

Its amazing Saif, don't you see changes in the house?

Hasn't your depression lessened?

Isn't it easier to breathe.

I'm invisible but I'm amazed that you didn't see how your mother's attitude has changed.

These things don't bother me Samiya.

because I'm used to of all this.

Do you still think you made a mistake marrying me?

No.

I'm not used to good things.

They bore me.

Please. Don't cry.
