Khumar - First Season

Hareem.

Brother, I am not mentally prepared for all this.

You don’t need to worry at all.

We will not make a decision without asking you.

But…

But?

Mama and papa feel that Nasir’s proposal will be reasonable for you,

and saying no to them like this, without a reason doesn’t seem right.

and you?

What do you think?

Hareem, you know,

for me, your happiness matters the most.

Now whether the proposal is from Nasir or some other boy,

your acceptance is most important for me.

Brother, please,

I want to live in this home with all of you.

Right now, I don’t feel the need of any other relation.

Hareem, my beloved sister,

I understand your emotions.

But don’t worry about us.

These delicate shoulders of yours have not been made to take up the burden of this home,

and all of us want that we fulfill your responsibility well.

And why worry about life? It will keep on going.

We don’t want that your hands get blisters pulling the wheel of this car.

Brother, I am a member of this family,

I am a part of this family.

Please do not consider my hard work and efforts as compulsion.

You are right.

But there is a time for everything.

Right now, you have to make another home in your life.

There is a weather for every season.

Every bird flies at the right time.

This is the way of life.

Come on, come. I will also help you.

What needs to be done? Tell me.

I had told you,

if you change your thinking and point of view,

then you will surely see Hareem and her family better.

The truth is that

girl being skillful and hard working impressed me.

If a woman has these two qualities

then life becomes really beautiful.

Now, your father had a great business, the world would see.

God bless him, all of this is because of him.

But I didn’t get new furniture till today.

Now see, both my wrists are empty too,

because I had thought that if a virtuous daughter-in-law comes home,

there will be abundance and happiness in the house.

and you know brother, whatever mama buys,

she keeps it for my dowry.

Yes, so what else?

We are emptying our pockets to fill someone’s home,

then someone virtuous will fill our home too.

Your father had such a good business, what do I tell you?

Look Nasir, I will take dowry to my heart’s content.

I will fulfill all my wishes.

This is not the way.

I will not show any form of concession or kindness.

I don't need the excuses of poverty, helplessness,

or such lame excuses. Inform my friend Rufi.

When have they said yes that you are day dreaming here.

Why would those poor people say no? They will thank God.

They did a drama asking for two to four days,

after all, they have to care for their respect too.

You don’t know,

your father’s business was so famous in the entire neighborhood.

Ours was the first home that had got tiles, I was the one who had got them installed.

All women would come and see, using the Milad as an excuse.

And then the thing that I am giving my son,

good looking, young, handsome, capable, educated boy.

Why should I not take dowry? I will surely take dowry.

Mama, tell me, what will I wear on the engagement?

I will fix the wedding date on a box of sweets.

They will bring clothes for us.

Hareem, you are still not ready.

Brother, I have to give this order without fail. and I don’t have time at all.

You do one thing, you go ahead,

I will go with you on the reception.

No Hareem, you will have to come along.

Brother Rayyan, especially called you and invited you.

I really respect him, we will have to acknowledge him.

Please, get ready.

Brother, aunt Kehkasha and Laiba are really different.

Their eyes weigh a person like a scale.

If you ask me honestly, I don’t want to go.

Hareem, we don’t need to meet anyone’s expectations.

We have been invited by Faiz and brother Rayyan,

we will only go to acknowledge them,

and brother Rayyan was saying he wants you to something.

What would he want me to do?

We will find out when we go.

Come on, go and get ready.

Hareem,

these clothes and jewelry don’t mean anything.

You will be everyone’s eyes will glow up, seeing my sister’s glowing face.

You will look different in the entire function.

Brother, you are too much.

Okay, you get ready. I too will go and get ready.

Faiz, you have checked everything, right?

All the arrangement, flowers, everything else should be what we have paid for.

Mama, I have almost checked everything and everything is perfect.

This Mirza is a really slow and useless man.

Nothing is done on time.

I had told him that I want the photo booth ready before the guests arrive.

They are still working on it; the work is still not done.

You know, I have a question.

What was the need for all this arrangement?

Everything could have been done with simplicity as well, mummy.

Faiz, my love,

this is not a gathering for one of your lectures,

this is the representation of your father’s pride

and dignity and your mother’s love and respect.

Do you understand?

I understand.

Yes, madam?

Mr. Mirza,

get some work done on time.

Now you have not got the photobooth made,

but at least,

tell me if you have made the arrangement for

the protocol of the cars, security, and everything else?

Yes, yes, madam, I have done it all. You have…

Like you say it, but you don’t do it.

Hareem,

how can I bring you to this deceitful, hypocritical,

and heartless world from the honest, pure world of your own heart?

How will you face this world?

Until you become a part of this event,

all of this is incomplete for me.

Yes, doctor.

Yes, I can come.

I…

is it necessary to come right now? Okay, goodbye.

What happened brother? All okay?

Mama’s doctor called from the clinic.

I will just have to go pick up some reports.

Is there something to worry about?,

No, no, he wants to handover the case to some other doctor.

He won’t be at work for the next five days, so I have to pick up the file.

Faiz is here. You, do one thing, you people go.

I will join you people at the event later.

No brother, we cannot go, you apologize to him.

What are you doing?

You people go ahead, I will join you people immediately.

I will just visit the hospital and come.

I will go alone, without you?

Are you a small child that you cannot go anywhere without your brother?

Come on, Faiz is waiting. Come.

Faiz, I will have to go to the doctor’s clinic,

something important has come up.

But what happened? Is everything fine?

Yes, yes, you take Hareem, I will come after you people.

But if you want we can first go to the clinic together

and then we will go to the wedding.

You have an event at your home. It is necessary for you to be there.

And is this favor any less that you came to pick us up.

Come on, man, please.

Why do constantly talk about favors?

Greetings. Greetings.

Hareem, you go with Faiz, I will come later.

So, then let’s meet.

You are coming from the clinic, right?

Yes, I will come.

Fine. Please.

Brother I will wait for you.

You have to tell me whatever the doctor tells you.

Fine, Hareem.

Where?

You know brother, when I was in college,

I used to ask all my college friends,

how love made Ghalib useless.

Now seeing you, I understand the meaning of it.

Tell me something,

this mother of ours, she is so dangerous,

her tongue is more dangerous than her.

I know Rufi.

He is a man who is straight forward and speaks the truth.

Mama at times is talking about her bangles,

some times about her furniture, why is she being so greedy?

I mean, once the proposal is fixed,

after that we can make them to agree to things.

You know what, I think mama wants

to ask for a truck full of dowry before asking them for the proposal.

Brother, lower your voice.

If mama hears you, she will make a mountain out of a mole hill.

And you don’t worry, I am here,

I will make mama understand everything.

Go make mama understand

and also tell her that I am in love with her since adolescence,

I will not step back.

Okay brother, you had gone to aunt Kehkasha’s home,

we received a great card from them.

Hey leave it. I know them.

Upstarts, show offs, I know everything about them.

Whatever it is brother,

I feel that the event will be really grand.

Oh, the food will be so delicious.

To hell with it.

I would have had to pay a big sum of money…

Whatever it is brother,
