Dhoka - First Season

I'm very well qualified, I'll be able to find a job. If that's the case, then why are you creating a scene?

Go away silently, exactly the way you silently watched Hadi being humiliated. What is this?

What's what? Why did you fire her?

Hello... where are you? The meeting has started and all of us are waiting for you.

I'm sorry Hadi, I won't be able to come today. What? What do you mean you can't come?

Who's going to attend the meeting? You can do it, what's the problem with that?

You know I've hurt my foot, that's why I can't come. You know very well that I can't conduct this meeting.

I don't have the experience, and this isn't my field. You know that. If you've never tried, you can now. You can at least try.

Okay, good luck.

Hello... Hadi, the presentation went great. Everyone was impressed, I'm so proud.

Hurry up and come to my office.

What's going on at your office? Get here,

Tasha? I thought you sprained your foot, are you alright? I'm fine and my foot is fine as well.

What do you mean? I wanted to see if you could stand on your feet or not.

Who are you to me? Your well-wisher who wants to see you soar.

Are we going home in a car, or are we going to fly home? When I'm with you I'm usually soaring high in the sky.

I love you so much, Hadi.

Why don't you say you love me too? I love you too.

Okay... say it three more times so that you remember it. Sure.

I'm not insane. How was the presentation?

I'll tell you, sit down.

Why are you standing here?

I was just thinking about something. What were you thinking?

I just remembered, what happened to the car?

What could have happened? I went to the insurance guys and they said that soon they'll have money for the car.

Then we'll buy another car. Besides, I didn't like the color of the previous car.

Komal...

I wanted to share something with you. I have a friend...

he told me something, I cross-checked it and I found out he was telling me the truth.

This is a great time to invest.

In fact, investment can be doubled and tripled. That's why I decided to tell you this.

Isn't the market down? Because of high inflation the purchasing power among people has declined.

Which automatically brings down the profit margin. I don't think this is the right to invest.

I think we should wait. Who taught you about inflation?

You didn't know anything about this before.

Now I understand. Alright.

So Kainaat is your family, not me. If she knows so much...

then you must know about crypto as well, right?

Exactly... I was thinking about investing in it and obviously, you and her don't know anything about it.

Why don't you understand that whenever I think of something it will be for your benefit... for our benefit.

If you listen to other people. I was in such a good mood... I wanted to share this golden opportunity with you.

You ruined it... I'm leaving. Ahmed...

Tell me your plan... What's the point, if I tell you, you'll go and tell Kainaat?

Ahmed... I swear on your life, I won't tell anyone, please tell me.

Alright sure... listen...

The plan is that we'll invest your money there and then we'll wait.

As soon as we get our profit...

we'll start our new business.

We'll buy another house, where only you and me...

will live. I can't stand the arguments in this house.

That's what I want.

Tell me... will you invest or not?

Serious?

Promise? Promise.

You're so nice.

Your tea is getting cold.

Alright.

Where are you going? No, me, but we are going this time. Denmark.

To attend a business conference.

And trust me, this is a good opportunity for you.

There will be good opportunities for you there. You will get to take a look at how successful people view the world.

How they make their lives according to themselves. So I think you should go.

I can't go.

Why?

What are you saying? Have you any idea the impact this trip will have on you? I don't want to go.

I've decided.

I have my entire life to get those opportunities. But, we'll be together.

So? Does it make no difference to you that we'll be together?

I don't know. What do you don't know?

A person can't be in the same emotional state. I have another aspect of my life, which I want you to respect.

This isn't right... I think something else is going on inside your mind.

I'm not going, that's it. I won't force you...

If you don't want to go and spend time with your mother and sister then fine, but... But what? Stop dictating me... I'm not a kid.

I'm not doing that and if you're upset with me because of Kainaat, then that's unjust.

Because one has to cater to oneself. She'll find another job, what's the big deal?

Sure... what's the big deal... it's obvious what you said. The weak should always bow before the strong.

But not everyone does that, as far as Ursula is concerned.

She always stands by justice, that's why she didn't like it. We were raised differently. And you always get exploited.

Because you like being good in front of everyone. But there is a limit to everything and do you have any idea how messed up people are close to you?

Anyways, improve your mood. This way I won't be able to travel.

I'm talking to you, Hadi. I'm listening, what else should I do?

But you're not listening. Because you are being hasty.

Because you procrastinate and then I have to make your decisions.

Tell me...

What can I do for you? I don't know what's happening.

Wherever I apply for a job, I'm being rejected.

I feel as though Tasha and Hadi did something.

No, Hadi isn't like that. He has changed.

He's not the same.

If only I could talk to him. Ayesha has her surgery.

I don't know how much more money is required. Where will I get the money from?

I'll give it to you, you need not worry.

And why don't you ask Ahmed... he's her father, it's his responsibility.

He's not a miser in these matters. When one gets used to not working and getting their needs fulfilled...

then he knows how to play the game. He doesn't care about me.

No, you have it wrong. He's here because of Ayesha, isn't he?

That's what he tells me. To this day, he hasn't done a single thing for Ayesha.

It's been a while he hasn't seen me. Did you see him?

He doesn't care about anything other than expending someone's money. And why should he care?

You and I are here to care. Keep your money safe.

This man is not trustworthy.

Then why are you with him? I'm not with him.

I'm here for my daughter, Ayesha.

I've lost my faith in love a long time ago.

All men are the same. I thought I was wrong... I thought Hadi wouldn't be like this.

The things we lack force us to believe in people, do you know why?

Because this society thinks that women without men are cripples.

And we think that too. Komal!

Listen to me.

And it starts.

Do talk to Ahmed about the surgery.

Yes, auntie... What were you talking about with Kainaat?

Do you want something? Yes...

I wanted to talk to you.

We don't know anything about her or her family. You belong to an honorable family, don't listen to her.

My dear, no matter how one's husband is, they are our crowns. It's our responsibility to take care of them.

Look, because of her husband no one dares to look at her.

Lord knows what she's saying or thinking. You're quite young... don't listen to her.

Her daughter is not well. She needs surgery and she doesn't have the money for it. Now I understand.

She has her eye on your parents' money, that's why she's crying in front of you.

Her daughter is related to you. It's not her responsibility. She's an educated girl, she can find a good job and take care of this.

You are his second wife, so why is she crying in front of you? She is unable to find a job and she is right.

This is Ahmed's responsibility. Then I'm wrong...

People who don't think as humans can never be right. How can you pass judgment so quickly?

There is no point in being the third wheel. Kainaat and I aren't enemies.

I think her daughter is mine. What's so wrong is one mother shares her pain with another.

And you should be happy that we talk to each other affectionately.

The responsibility of this surgery is huge and I can't afford it.

I don't have a single penny, how will I pay for it? How can you say that? You brought me here because of Ayesha.

I tried a lot of places, but there's no vacancy for me. I was the one who was running the house for so long. Don't always say that like you were doing me any favors.

People help each other in hard times and you're living here as well. You should try then.

Apply for a job. I have applied and you know I keep trying.

Once my business is set up, I'll give you the money you require, like I do with everyone else.

Why are you being bothered by this? I'm not... not only did I apply for myself, I applied for you too.

It's an amazing job, I'm sure you'll get it. If I get a job, I won't be at home and Ayesha needs me right now.

I understand... Let go.

Do you have a fever?

I'll take medicine for it. What do you mean you'll take? Wait, I'll bring it for you.

Mother... why is it so spicy?

Will you find fault in your mother's cooking now?

It's not like that... Then what is it like?

If you had married a simple girl like the ones in our family, then both of us would be living peacefully now.

Look what happened to the girl you chose, see what happened. This decision that I've made is the best for all of us.

Tasha compliments me, she does things that I'm unable to do.

She makes the mistakes that you don't. I don't think that's called complimenting.

She has ruined all the good things that you did.

Mother, whatever it may be she's the owner of the company, not me.
