Dil Phisla Rey

Hey, why did you stop the car here? Our home is a little further, brother.

Sister, your home may be further up, but what do I do about this car?

It broke down.

So. So, what do we do now?

Get off here.

Leave it Sumaira,

the home is nearby, we will walk.

We will walk?

Okay fine, do one thing, deliver the luggage there.

No. No. I am a taxi driver, I am not someone’s personal servant.

I will not pick up the luggage.

Maya, will you talk to him or should I?

Fine. Fine.

Brother, you offload the luggage here, we will take it.

Yes. I can do this for you.

Brother, be a little quick.

Hey, son, Razi,

the payment from Mr. Zeeshan has been received.

I have forwarded it to you.

Now Mr. Qamar and Mr. Naveed are left.

You have to collect the payment from them today.

Absolutely right, papa. Don’t worry. Today all the collection will be made today.

Now if there is nothing else, I will go the factory. I am getting late.

Get up.

Stand up.

You too.

Me too? You too.

Both you father and son hear me out clearly.

I am not going to bring an illiterate daughter in law from your father’s family.

Hey…

I will bring some educated, English speaking girl.

Completely modern.

Now, how will you understand English?

You don’t even speak Urdu properly,

who will you get it translated into Punjabi by?

Do you see. Do you see your father?

He is insulting me in front of my young son.

Razi, listen to me,

if you proposal is not fixed as per liking,

as per my choice,

then I will hang myself with the fan and die.

Hey, you leave everything

and say Bismillah.

God will fulfill all your wishes.

Pray the Kalima and hang yourself.

Razi. Razi, do you see him?

Okay, please. For God’s sake, let me go to the factory right now.

After all, I don’t want to get married where scenes like these are created daily.

Huh?

Why don’t you want to get married? Even your father will get married.

May God fulfill this desire of yours.

The father is ready.

Look. Look. Look at your father.

Look at how he has such a wide smile on his face.

Stop it. Stop it. Relax your face.

Don’t smile so wide, your lips might get pulled apart.

I have my eyes on five to six girls for you.

As soon as I have done my checks,

I will finalize someone.

Okay mama, fine, you check the girls.

Just be sure that during your investigation,

the girl shouldn’t talk a lot or else I will meet such a fate.

Hey, what fate?

Meaning, we will meet tomorrow.

Goodbye. Okay mama…

In the protection of God my son. Go safely, come back safely.

Hey, what is this?

What is this junk you have set up in front of someone’s gate?

Excuse me.

How dare you?

You called my luggage, junk?

Yes.

Okay.

Then this luggage will not move from here.

Okay.

You don’t remove it.

It is lying in front of my home, I will have it thrown away.

Try to touch it if you have the courage.

Look, what is your problem?

You are misbehaving and then you are talking about courage.

What? What? What? What?

Who is misbehaving?

You.

Me?

Yes, are also deaf along with being ill-mannered?

Are you in your senses? I will…

Maya. Maya. Maya. Maya. Hey. Hey, move back.

Maya, what are you doing? Have you gone mad?

Hey, take her away, get her some injections or something.

What did you say?

Maya. Maya. What are you doing? Have you gone mad?

Actually, it is not her fault, it is the driver’s fault, he dropped the luggage here.

Give us five minutes, I will remove it.

Maya. Sorry.

Maya. Maya, come on. Who is he?

Maya, go.

Sure. Sure.

Yes, Surraiyah, what are you saying?

Okay. Okay, the two sisters who recently shifted here.

Mr. Sheikh,

why are eavesdropping like a woman.

Come on, go and sit there comfortably.

You are talking about my son’s proposal and I shouldn’t hear it?

Hey, turn on the speaker.

I will turn on the speaker.

Will you sit comfortably, or should I insult you?

Okay. Okay.

Yes, Surraiyah. No, no, I was not saying that to you.

Really?

You know the whole family?

You just fix the proposal.

Yes, yes, if you guarantee,

then I am willing to fix the proposal immediately.

Yes. Yes. I am willing to make that girl my daughter in law immediately.

Hey,

how did you agree so easily?

First, you…

Mr. Sheikh, you are forgetting,

Surraiyah has gotten all the boys and girls of your and my family married.

She doesn’t make a wrong match for anyone.

You, relax.

Relax?

Are you mad, Maya?

I have left my home,

my husband alone and come here so that I can get you married.

You have started fighting with people as soon as you came here.

Why did I say anything to him?

That ill-mannered man came in front of me and started showing attitude, like…

Okay fine. Please, now for God’s sake, Maya, no need to fight with anyone else.

You should get married as soon as possible, so that I can go back to my home. That’s it.

Leave it.

Brother Ali will take care of himself and his home well.

You know, if you are looking for a husband, then find someone like brother Ali.

At least, he is obedient to his wife.

And someone who doesn’t talk back even a little.

Really?

Hey, you should have told me earlier,

I would have told the match maker that we want a man who is dumb.

Sumaira…

Hey, look at our luck.

Surraiyah just sent a message.

She is saying that she will bring the family to meet us soon

and she is saying that the boy is from this area.

Oh, whoever it is, he shouldn’t be like this idiot.

You know, tell me something, Maya.

He was not that bad. I mean, he was handsome.

Should we get you married to him?

The problem of finding a boy will be solved.

Sumaira,

you said this today.

After today, I will not even tolerate this as a joke.

Oh God, this girl is such a problem, and you her attached to me.

Now she should get married as soon as possible, and I will go back to my home. That’s it.

Hey, why do you keep on listening to these sad songs?

Hey, are you even of the age to listen to these songs?

I came here to talk to my son about marriage.

Oh hey, you want to talk about the marriage, even at this hour.

Mama, fear God, is this the time?

Son, I have liked a girl for you.

Mr. Sheikh, show him a picture on your mobile.

You know, your mama has selected a great girl.

Oh no, my mobile is out of battery.

Great.

Your father’s mobile is always out of battery.

Hey, you leave it, and tell Razi about the girl.

Hey, son, Razi, the girl is so pretty, like a piece of the moon.

Okay, great mama.

But even if the girl is not beautiful, she should be well mannered.

Hey, why shouldn’t she be pretty?

I too have to show off in front of the family.

Okay, fine.

Along with being well mannered, all being beautiful to the demand list.

I have put it in the list. In fact, consider it done.

You will see, the enemies will be so jealous.

Err, who is the enemy?

Hey, your aunt, Majida.

Who else?

Hey, what has my plain and simple sister in law done to you?

Why do you have an enmity towards her?

Hey, you don’t need to have enmity with the in-laws.

This work is done for free.

Hey, sister in law Majida, huh!

Hey, you can do nothing for this woman. Nothing at all.

God forgive me, your father is a walking, talking picture of being thankless.

Anyway, leave him.

Listen to me, son.

The girl I have seen for you, oh my God, she is really pretty.

She has come straight from America with her sister.

And the way she talks, she said so much, and I could only say yes, yes.

I didn’t understand anything.

Sumaira.

I am here.

Quickly tell me, what do you want me to get?

I have whatsapped you the list. Check.

So many things?

Yes, they are coming with your proposal, so we will have to get a lot of things.

And yes, I forgot to add the flowers to the list, don’t forget to bring them.

If you say, I will get pastils as well,

so that the whole environment becomes spiritual and bright.

They are bringing your proposal,
