Jhoom - First Season

Come son. You have still not slept.

Yes, I just wasn’t sleepy.

I was thinking that next week when the duration is complete, then I will go meet Maryam’s brother

and I hope that this time he will not have an objection in giving the date.

This is what I was explaining to Sam and Tina,

that we should go to Sherry and decide a date for the engagement.

But they were excited like children and if it was in their control, they would set a function for tomorrow.

Actually, son,

good friends go crazy in the happiness of their friend.

I am happy about one thing,

you have lost a lot in life but you have found really good friends.

You look worried, is everything okay?

No, son.

Is this worry because of Sherry’s expected answer and if it,

then take out this fear from your heart.

I will wait further if he still has a problem.

I was thinking of something else, son.

Happiness is coming to our home for the first time,

I was thinking that your mother…

Papa, who left us alone for our happiness, she has no right to be part of our happiness.

Fine son,

all your complaints are true, they are right.

But at times, to know the emotions of others,

we have to stand in their place, see and feel, what their helplessness was.

I don’t believe any helplessness that forces a mother to separate herself from her child.

But… Papa,

we had decided amongst us a long time back that we will not talk on this topic anymore.

I hold you equally responsible in this crime

and if you want that I don’t leave you and go…

No, it is okay.

Please, don’t repeat this again.

At times, to know the emotions of others,

we have to stand in their place, see and feel,

what their helplessness was.

I have read all the files, send them to Mahlab, she will follow up.

After that…I will see you later.

Uncle.

Greetings. How are you?

I forgot you work in the same hospital.

But what are you doing here? This is the cancer ward. Is everything fine?

Yes, everything is fine. I came to meet someone here.

Who?

Someone I know, someone I don’t know. Shehla is here.

Shehla?

My ex-wife.

Aryaan’s mother.

Yeah…

What?

Come, I will introduce you.

Who is it?

The one who was once yours,

but he is not anymore.

Asfandyaar turned out to be really useless.

He couldn’t care for you.

What have you done to yourself?

Asfandyaar is not useless,

I was always careless.

I couldn’t live up to any relationship myself.

You tell me, Tauqeer.

How are you?

I am the same.

Entangled.

Broken.

The old cracks are still the same.

They have not been filled.

In our last meeting you had promised me,

you will think about getting married again, seriously.

Yes.

I thought about it seriously several times,

but no one else got serious with me.

Maybe living with you,

I got used to perfection.

And you know,

there is no replacement for perfection.

I wish I was as perfect as you kept on considering me.

I had told Asfandyaar not to tell you about my illness.

I am fine.

I am fine. You are absolutely fine.

What can cancer do to someone as lively as you.

Sunny.

How is Sunny?

He must not miss me at all.

He is fine, but,

he is the same.

Upset with himself,

but very soon, someone is going to come in his life.

Who will end all his anger.

Really?

Who is it?

Her name is Maryam.

The biggest happiness of Aryaan’s life.

I brought her along with me, to make you meet her.

Call her. I will call her.

Hello.

Yes, Maryam, come in, please.

Why are you standing there, child?

Come to me.

Yes, go ahead Aryaan, do you want something?

I tried to meet you several times.

But I think you are really busy nowadays.

Your PA always asks me to wait.

I have been coming to office less nowadays.

I was busy with the Dutch delegation that is here.

I see.

Papa was telling me you came to our home a few days back for something.

But you left without saying anything.

I hope everything is alright.

Yes.

Actually, a friend of mine lives in that area,

I went to meet her.

I thought I would visit your home as well.

We could have had a cup of coffee.

You were not there, so I came back.

Sorry.

Had I known you are coming, then I would have surely waited for you.

Anyway, you can come whenever you want. You are most welcome.

Papa too wants to meet you.

I too would want to meet him one more time.

You didn’t tell me you belong to such a big family.

I have heard a lot about your father.

Yes, actually, he himself tells me not to give an introduction

and I forgot too.

No problem.

I was introduced to him,

and that too in a way that I will remember all my life.

Thank you.

What is this?

In our family, there is an old custom.

When we see your daughter in law for the first time, then you give them a present.

I am in the hospital,

I have nothing else with me,

so I want that my Sunny’s choice accepts this small gift.

What was the need for this?

After all, he doesn’t call himself Sunny now.

He calls himself Aryaan.

He even changed the name I gave him.

When he changed his name in the school register,

the principal called me and told me.

The son of a mother like me should have done exactly this.

Can I ask you something?

I cannot ask it in front of Sir Tauqeer.

I know the question you will ask.

This, that why did me and Tauqeer get divorced?

When I had met sir Tauqeer,

I was really confused.

But when today I have met you,

I am confused even further.

Because you are not like I had imagined.

You mean maybe being a woman you didn’t think of me as being bad.

I have proved to be a bad mother.

Asfandyaar, Tauqeer and I used to study in the same university.

Asfandyaar was our senior,

we used to like each other and

Tauqeer without informing me, God knows for how long was chained in love with me.

Time changed,

Asfandyaar got married somewhere else.

He couldn’t resist his pressure at all.

I was complete scattered and that’s when Tauqeer stood by me.

Tauqeer knew everything even then.

Then he proposed me and I accepted it.

When Sunny came in our life, I thought that my life had reached its shore.

Then. What happened after that?

Asfandyaar’s wife passed away in an accident.

He came back in our lives broken.

The worries between me and Tauqeer started to increase.

A woman should bury her past once and for all.

If she scratches the ashes of the past,
