Khuda Haafiz Chapter 2: Agni Pariksha

No! No!

No! No!

No! No, please!

- -Let me go, please.

- -Please, I beg.

Please don't make me do this.

No, please.

Please, no. I beg you.

Please! Please!

Happy Anniversary!

There was no need to do all this.

And...

I am in no mood for breakfast now.

We'll be late for the doctor's appointment.

Hello.

So how was last week, Nargis?

The new medicines I prescribed, is it working for you?

Is it making you a little better?

Yes.

Little better.

Nice. Nice.

And, Sameer, tell me, how was last week for both of you?

It was okay.

I mean, we're trying...

But it's all going good.

What good?

Why are you lying?

Nothing is good.

Doctor, everything is still the same.

And... I don't know who is it going good for.

For the people, you've become that incarnation of Sri Ram (saviour),

who saved his Sita.

And my image has become like Sita.

The only difference is, I've to give a trial every day.

Sita successfully passed her trial, but not me.

Every lane, every block, every neighbourhood I go to,

everyone knows that I am the one who was abducted on foreign soil.

And do you know what happened?

You know it, right?

Doctor, I've changed three jobs so far.

But each one of them keeps reminding them

with their sympathy, that I was raped...

I can't stop thinking about those days when,

not once,

but I was raped several times.

Sameer.

Frankly speaking, doctor,

I sympathise with myself,

with my rotten luck.

But I also sympathise with him.

Because...

he's living with a lifeless body.

He should marry someone else, because

I am not worthy to be

with anyone, let alone him.

Enough, Nargis.

Remember what we talked about.

You're not the victim of your circumstances, you're a fighter.

Sameer, can you wait outside for a while.

I just need some alone time with her, please.

"There's a mist spread in every direction."

"Can't seem to find Your traces,"

"yet everywhere I look, I see You."

"There's a mist spread in every direction."

"Can't seem to find Your traces,"

"yet everywhere I look, I see You."

"I am Your preacher,"

"uphold my honour."

"O Benefactor of the doomed, I've small desire."

"You be by me, I be by you."

"You be by me, I be by you."

"You be by me, I be by you."

Doctor, do you think if Nargis and I try for a child,

will everything be all right again?

I can understand your desire for a child.

But the medication Nargis is on for depression, are pretty strong.

In these circumstances, getting pregnant is medically not advisable for her.

"Make these crazy winds stop."

"Don't destroy what You created."

"If I give up, so do you."

"Don't let me give up..."

"Be one with me and give me strength,"

"so I can return your grace."

"I am the hazy sunset, and you're like the dawn."

"O Benefactor of the doomed, I've small desire."

"You be by me, I be by you."

"You be by me, I be by you."

"You be by me, I be by you."

"Come to me, beloved."

"Understand my love."

"The flames of love is making me pine."

"You dwell in every inch of me, my heart is no longer in control."

"You're the keeper of my heart, my love, you should know."

"You be by me, I be by you."

"You be by me, I be by you."

"You be by me,"

"I be by you."

Can I light it?

She is my niece.

My brother and sister-in-law's last memorabilia.

I don't know,

when my life's dreams deserted me.

Let alone dreams...

Getting a decent paying job, is as tough

as getting selected for the Indian cricket team.

And now little Nandini's responsibilities.

I don't know how I'm going to look after her.

I am a travelling salesman.

Do I take the child all over the country with me?

Does she have no one on her mother's side,

who can look after her?

Hard to believe, isn't it?

I talked to Nandini's uncle.

He said, it's a big deal we attended their funeral.

I've decided...

Maybe an orphanage,

adoption agency, or an NGO.

I can't take care of her.

I don't know whether this will work or not.

We can keep Nandini with us for a week.

I mean, Nargis and me.

And if Nandini likes Nargis,

and Nargis like Nandini...

Then, the three of us can live together.

Maybe we can even adopt her.

We should give it a try.

We should try.

Come on. Come on. Come on. This is our new home.

See, Nandini.

That's your Nargis aunt.

Who is she?

Wait here, Nandini.

Remember my friend Deepak, whose brother and sister-in-law passed away.

She is his niece.

He requested if we could keep her for a week.

He is travelling out of town for urgent work.

Where is she going to sleep?

I was thinking with you, on your bed...

Absolutely not.

Your mom and dad's room is vacant. She can sleep in there.

Isn't that great?

Do you know what aunty said?

She said we'll be giving you your own big room.

Oh, God.

See what a big room this is.

And this is our bed.

We'll need to clean the place up first.

Come on.

I'll make some tea, sister.

Brother made breakfast for the child in the morning.

What do I make for her now?

Where is she?

Sister, what do I make for the child?

She will eat whatever is cooked.

Sister, she is just a child.

She can't eat the spicy food that you eat.

Then ask the one who brought her here.

You don't have to hide your face anymore.

You said she is going to stay with us for a week.

You didn't say I'll have to look after her all day.

I am not ready for this responsibility, Sameer.

I see... so there you are.

Look, what I got for you.

Don't want it.

I've got another thing for you.

Very good.

That child makes me furious.

Not on her

but on my luck.

Doctor.

This should have been my child.

When I married Sameer,

I had certain desires.

To start my own family,

to have my own child.

By bringing this child home,

and keeping her in front of my sight,

I don't know how I should react.

I'm unable to take care of myself properly, how can I...

Sorry, doctor.

It's okay.

It's just broken.

Do you know, Nargis,

the Japanese closely follow a philosophy in their life.

When something is broken...

Like this plate.

They don't throw it away.

Do you know what they do with it?

They put it back together,

using gold, brass, or silver.

The Japanese call it the 'Kintsugi' philosophy.

They believe hardships are a part of life,

they shatter a human being, shake our belief.

But a shattered life doesn't mean we put an end to it.

We can put it back together.

Piece by piece.

One day at a time.

Nandini is broken like you.

She's going through trauma as well.

Maybe, it's God's way of bringing two people together who are broken.
