Sajila.

Sajila.

Sajila. Yes, mama?

Come here, child.

Coming.

Yes?

Child, order the cab in a while,

or else we will get late for the doctor’s appointment, then he gets upset.

but what is the need to call a cab? Shani will come.

No,

I spoke to your aunt.

She was telling me he had to go for some important office work.

Office work?

No, no mama. He is off today, mama.

Hey child, he might have something important to do.

Okay.

Hello.

Where are you?

Me? I am a home.

At home?

Why didn’t you come?

Were you missing me?

Not me. Mama.

I will come, but I will get a little late.

Right now I am going to a marriage.

Wedding? Whose?

Is a friend of yours getting married? No, a friend’s friend.

Okay,

a friend’s friend.

Is the marriage so important?

No it is not important.

Then maybe we are not important for you.

This girl just needs an opportunity to get upset.

There is nothing special about the hall, and even the setting is just okay.

We will have a day wedding for Shanzay. Pastel theme.

We will ask Shanzay. As she wishes.

I know what she wants.

Your friend is here, Shanzay.

Did you invite Shani?

Yes.

I had to.

Good.

The two look good together.

Yes.

Do you see that?

They look so good.

What was the need to bring this boy here?

What is wrong with you?

I have gone mad.

Hey when we still haven’t finalized what their decision is,

then what is the point of going around with this boy?

Do you see those two?

They are together and also happy.

So what are you confused about?

Come on, let’s meet them.

What? I go and meet him?

Yes.

I am his boss, he should come and meet me.

Kam, you are just his boss in the office.

Why didn’t you leave this boss attitude in the office?

Terrible.

Argh.

Hello.

Greetings, madam.

Please. What is this madam? Call me aunty.

He has stopped calling me madam with so much difficulty.

You are like our son, don’t consider yourself an employee.

Yes.

Thank you so much madam. Sorry.

Thank you so much aunty.

That’s better.

You two look really good.

Hi.

I have seldom seen Shanzay this happy.

And she took so much time to get ready,

I am sure you insisted.

I don’t see sir. Where is he?

Sir, again? Call him uncle, son.

Where is uncle?

He was asking about you. Go and meet him.

Where is he? There.

I will come. Sure.

Yes Ramish,

fine, you do one thing.

Send me your documents,

I will see them, then we will talk.

Okay, Ramish. Okay. Okay. See you.

Greetings uncle.

Greetings. How are you?

Yes, I am good.

Do you know anyone? I mean, Ramla aur Faiq? I mean,

do you know anyone?

Yes, Shanzay introduced me to them.

Oh,

Shanzay.

Okay. Okay.

Enjoy yourself. Sure.

Shani, why are you standing here alone?

Nothing, just like that.

Come with me, I will introduce you to Ramla’s family.

No, I think you enjoy. It is not necessary for me to meet everyone.

Come with me. No…what will I do going there…

Come.

Excuse me. Yes, madam?

Will you take our pictures? Yes, I will take it.

Sir, get a little closer.

Okay, smile.

Smile a little, please.

Sir, I want you to smile a little. Smile.

Mama, if you don’t take this medication after today, and you are careless.

I will call Ramsha. You only listen to her.

Don’t worry her doing anything like that.

My BP is just a little high.

I will take the medication, I will be fine.

And yes,

call your aunt and inform her.

She must be worried what the doctor has said.

I will tell her.

But nowadays no one is worried about anyone.

Why Sajila? Why do you say that?

Aunt should have held Shani by the ear and sent him.

Child,

you too told me that he has to go to a marriage.

Aunt said he had work at the office.

But to save his respect, aunt lied.

Hey, she should have told us he had to go to a wedding.

What was the big deal in this?

Why did she lie?

What is true and what is a lie,

you leave these things.

It is something so small,

he was busy, he couldn’t come. That’s it.

I will check.

Mr. Shani,

there is no marriage here, you might have to go the road in the back.

Hey, move back. I came to meet aunt. Who came to meet you?

Aunt.

Do you have an aunt who lives here?

Sajila, who is there?

Mama, someone came to ask about you.

Who…

Make her understand, I will scold her a lot.

You have permission from me.

But I don’t need anyone’s permission to scold you.

Oh, so much anger, what is wrong with her?

Is she in her senses?

Son, leave her.

She is like that.

I have been telling her since morning that you must be busy that is why you couldn’t come.

Where couldn’t I come? Did I have to come somewhere?

Son, I had a doctor’s appointment today.

Hey, why didn’t you tell me aunt? You should have called me once.

My son, Kulsoom had told me in the morning,

that you are really busy today.

What could keep me busier if it was about you, aunt?

You should have told me. At least, Sajila should have called and told me.

She is the limit. Okay. Leave it.

I will go check on her. Yes.

That’s why she is upset with me.

Do you know anything other than fighting?

Why didn’t you tell me that aunt had a doctor’s appointment.

Speak up, why didn’t you tell me?

Aunt told you,

but no,

for you it was more important to go to the wedding.

Hey, mama didn’t tell me. I just came to meet aunt.

Yes, obviously.

Aunt too must have seen how excited her son is 1o go to the wedding.

I had no excitement to go to the wedding and nor was going important.

I don’t know what aunt must be thinking.

Yes, now score points in front of acting like you care.

Sajila,

why are you so bitter towards me?

I always talked like this Shani.

You should have thought about it before loving me.

So what do you want? I regret loving you?

This won’t happen, even if you want it. Okay?

I didn’t know that aunt didn’t tell you.

and I will ask mama why she didn’t tell me.

She must not have told you on purpose.

Who puts their hand in a beehive?

You put your hand in the beehive,

now save yourself.

I sting worse than a bee,

you be careful.

Look at that boy’s stubbornness.

He was calling me uncle in front of everyone.

He was giving you respect.

It is so surprising

that people give you respect and you don’t like it.

Come on.

He says, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, to me in the office all day long.

I don’t want him to praise me.

He doesn’t praise you, he is down to earth.

Stop it. Stop it, please.

You too stop it.

Shanzay seemed happy with her.

This is what he is taking advantage of.

Kam,

if Shani was the son of a friend of yours,
