The first 200 lines.
Are you fine?
I don’t know.
What was uncle saying?
He was saying that
you can take anyone’s life at any time.
Did you not know this before marriage?
I am not afraid of you.
I too don’t want that you do anything that
you have to be scared of me.
Sit.
Yes, Anwar, don’t worry. Nothing like that will happen,
I will handle everything.
Meerab and that boy too.
The daughter is coming home for the first time
and you are busy on your phone. You…Yes, yes, I am here.
I am here.
My daughter is home.
Hey,
my Meerab is here.
See, Meerab has come home.
Our daughter has come home.
We longed to see you in this home.
Imagining you in this home, we had gone blind, child.
You are my light.
Come in.
Today I feel this home just like before.
I could hear your voice in this home,
where your father’s morning would start after seeing you and hearing your voice.
Right?
Meerab.
Meerab.
Meerab, child.
Papa.
You still come to wake me up like I have to go to school.
I have grown up.
You will always remain a small child for me,
who would hold my hand and go to school and get in my arms and come home.
And you make so many wishes.
Really?
I even make wishes now, but those are not given importance.
Hey,
when did this happen that you asked me for something and I didn’t get it for you.
Meaning, there is no importance, my father forgot.
Hey, I must have forgotten, tell me, what did you ask for?
Don’t you remember?
You know how much I want to become a lawyer.
Okay, let’s wait for a day or two.
Okay fine, we will wait for a day or two,
but if they say no, then?
Then your father is here,
he will convince everyone.
He can do anything for his daughter,
but he cannot ignore her wish.
Yes!
You are the world’s best father.
Happy now? I am really happy.
Mama,
there is not a single picture of mine in my room.
You removed them all?
I kept all your pictures in the store…
Was this my total worth?
Was this my importance in this home.
You people used to say I am the light of this home
and the liveliness for you.
I feel that
you people were waiting for me to go.
You took everything out of my room.
No Meerab, don’t say that, child.
All of your things are kept safely.
Where is it kept?
In the store room?
Did those pictures of mine have a place in the store?
Why did you keep them in the store,
you should have sold them at the thrift store, you would have gotten some money as well.
Meerab,
listen to me
This room of yours,
had I not removed the pictures from this room,
then your father would have died in this room someday.
After you left,
he missed you all the time.
He had forgotten to eat, drink and sleep.
Here, in this room,
your things,
your pictures,
he would look at that.
He was dying inside missing you.
And you…
you rejected us.
We were already under this burden.
Your papa always used to think about this,
he would think and worry that we couldn’t save you from the grip of this family.
And…
and then this behaviour of yours.
Something would have happened to your father,
I would have died.
I have no one in this world apart from him.
What would I have done without him?
Where would I have gone?
He will admit himself that he is the murderer.
When we won’t find any proof against him,
then how will he get punished.
His father has said he will swear against him.
Did you talk to Malik?
No.
But I have no other option apart from this.
I know he is the murderer.
Son,
sister in law told us today.
You don’t worry,
God will give you a child again.
If sister in law had told us, then,
maybe we would have come.
Maybe she didn’t tell you this, that it was just a misunderstanding, there was nothing like it.
I slipped, so we found out everything in the medical report.
Anyway, I am sleepy. I hope
you have kept the guest room ready for your guest daughter.
Hello Saba.
Meerab,
is that you? Yes.
Hey Meerab, where did you disappear? You even got married and didn’t tell us.
Saba, I will tell you everything, I want to meet you. I am in Karachi.
For sure, even I want to meet you.
Okay, I am coming over.
Madam?
Yes. Should I ask the driver to take out the car for you?
No sister Saima, I booked a cab, I will go. Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Rohail, you?
Meerab, get out of the car.
What is this?
Is he bothering you?
You mind your own business. Do you understand?
And you, Meerab.
Get off and come with me.
Right now.
Hey, are you a kidnapper?
I will call the police. No, no, brother, I know him.
Rohail, what are you doing here?
I am waiting for you, Meerab.
Why are you waiting for me?
I was going to Saba’s home to meet her… You can go meet Saba later,
but right now it is necessary for you to meet me.
Rohail.
Please, Meerab.
Okay brother, take this.
What is this, Rohail?
Come with me.
What was the need to create so much drama? I asked you to come along.
I don’t know where Meerab went.
She didn’t even tell us and go. Hey.
When Murtasim wakes up, what will I tell him where Meerab went?
Call him.
Sure.
Return my phone Rohail.
Till I am with you, you will not talk to anyone.
What is wrong with you? What is this? Return my phone.
I told you.
Meerab, I have to tell you a lot.
Listen to it, buddy.
Tell me, what is it?
Not here.
I have sat and talk to you peacefully.
She is not answering her phone.
Anwar had warned me,
what if she went to meet that Rohail?
Greetings uncle Waqas.
Greetings.
Kindly call Meerab, please. We have to leave today
But why son?
You people came yesterday and you will leave today?
Yes, actually I have some work and Meerab too wants to leave.
Where is she by the way?
Oh…
She went out.
Where did she go?
She didn’t inform me and go, I will call her. One second, I will call her.
Her number is off.
I will call the driver.
Madam Meerab didn’t go with the driver,
she went in a cab.
Why in a taxi?
Did she not tell you where she went?
She was talking to some Saba,
it is possible she went to her home.
and where does this Saba live?
Come on, Meerab.
Rohail, why did you bring me here? You had said you would take me to a restaurant.
Are you scared of me, Meerab?
In the restaurant you and I wouldn’t have been alone… What do you want to do alone?
I am leaving.
No,
you cannot leave like this.
You will have to see.
Leave my hand, I am going.
No,
come with me.
Rohail, leave my hand, I don’t want to go here.
Come with me, Meerab. Rohail,
leave my hand, I say.
