So Faiz was interested in that girl?
Faiz is innocent.
That girl was hitting on him.
But I too pulled his string in such a way,
that all cleverness was left bewildered.
I reminded of her worth
and dragged her out of the home.
So she understood
that a below average Nasir is fine for a low level girl like her.
Mummy.
Hi.
You know, mummy,
you are forgetting a lot.
We too used to live in a similar small neighbourhood like theirs.
In fact, we used to live in the same neighbourhood.
Yes?
You know,
brother and I used to go to a government school
on daddy’s bike.
And daddy used to have just one bike
and the entire family would sit on it and go around.
So when we ourselves have come from there,
how can we consider anyone ordinary,
low, or small?
What nonsense is this, Faiz?
Have you lost your mind?
You have forgotten to talk with respect with your mother
because of that ordinary girl?
No… Go from here.
Leave!
Mummy,
relax.
Please, calm down.
You shouldn’t have spoken to Faiz this harshly.
A good quality wooden furniture set,
especially a sofa set for the lounge.
Gold earrings for the boy’s mother.
A latest designer chain for the boy’s sister.
Three great quality dinner sets.
Apart from that, washing machine, TV…
Are these people in their senses?
Huh?
What sort of mentality is this?
As per aunt Durdana, these old customs and traditions are really important
and they are a sign of a good life.
But child,
these things would cost around four to five million rupees.
Where will we get this money from?
Son, Rufi,
don’t tell Hareem right now,
she will get really upset.
These people need to think about their actions.
Obviously, we won’t send Hareem empty handed,
we will give her a lot happily.
But, then, what is the meaning of this dictation?
I will talk to Nasir.
Look son,
our daughter’s wedding got fixed.
It is the first happiness of our home.
What if a misunderstanding is created in hastiness.
Your mother is absolutely right, son.
Look, you have people with all sorts of weird mentality in the world
and man cannot fight with everyone.
Let’s do one thing, let’s sit and talk.
Maybe they will understand.
You know I am surprised, we had to give everything to our daughter anyway?
I think Nasir is a good boy for Hareem.
If his relation is being formed with Hareem,
then we should try to keep this relation and not break it.
Okay, you don’t worry,
I will take care of everything.
God is great, everything will be fine.
Yes, your piece is absolutely fine. It is kept with me.
Yes. Yes. I will install it till tomorrow…
Yes, it will be installed till tomorrow. Okay, thank you so much.
Hello.
Mr. Nasir,
I want to meet you if you have no objection.
Oh my luck. Such good luck.
If good luck knocks on someone’s door, and that person sends it away,
then that person can be an idiot.
I am a smart man, aren’t I?
This is something really serious.
Sorry, I was joking Hareem.
For me, everything you say means a lot to me.
Anyway, tell me, what time do I come?
Home.
I cannot call you home.
I want that this thing is discussed between you and I.
This is something that really makes me happy,
that my life partner trusts me so much.
So, why don’t you come to my home?
We live ten minutes away.
At your home?
Aunty and Shagufta…
how can I talk about this in front of them?
Mama and Shago nowadays spend more time shopping in the market, than at home.
No.
It is not a good thing for us to meet alone in the home.
What are you saying?
Why will us meeting be looked down upon?
We will be tied in such a beautiful relation of marriage in a few days.
After all, if someone sees us outside, then they will say things.
I don’t want that anyone says anything to you,
or something is said about you.
So, try and understand that too.
But, how can we meet like this?
Hareem, don’t make me feel that you don’t even trust me this much.
Am I that bad?
Okay,
you tell me, when should I come?
Whenever you feel like.
Yes, I have spoken to the customer.
Their piece is fixed.
No, no, don’t come to get it right now.
I will bring it myself in the evening or I will go install it myself tomorrow.
Okay.
Mama’s surgery and Hareem’s wedding has come in front of me at the same time.
I don’t understand what I should do?
Don’t worry, Rufi.
I will do whatever possible for me.
Aunt’s surgery will take place on time,
and also Hareem’s marriage.
You have already done me so many favours.
Believe me, I remember everything.
If fate gives me a chance, I will never disappoint you.
There is trust and love in friendship.
Save me from the favour.
Please, after you.
One second, first...
yes. Yes, here.
I am sorry, I am being personal.
By the way,
I was thinking that Nasir is getting a girl like Hareem.
If you want, we can talk,
we can make him understand, we might be able to come up with a solution for this.
What do you think? Will it make a difference?
Will he go against his family?
We can try.
Hareem, child,
Rufi called.
He said that he and Faiz are coming home.
Mama,
I have to go do something important.
All okay, child?
I am going to meet a friend, they had some issue.
Okay fine,
you go ahead. When Rufi comes home, I will tell him.
Goodbye. Goodbye.
Hey, you are here. Come on. Come.
I think it will be good if we sit here and talk.
Hareem, we are in the porch of the home.
See, the neighbourhood is there, if someone sees us,
then what will happen? I think we should talk inside.
Or don’t you trust me?
Fine.
Shall we go?
Will you have tea?
I am good. Sure? I can ask Hareem.
100% percent.
I am coming in a second.
Greetings, mama. Where is Hareem?
Greetings.
Son, she went to some friend’s place.
She said she will come in a little while.
Tell me, if you want something.
No, no, Faiz is here.
We are going to Nasir’s home.
We will talk to Nasir once and we will also find out what he is thinking.
Faiz just had a function at his home, recently.
So he knows more about these matters.
The three of us will decide together what we have to do.
Fine, son, be safe.
Okay. Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Come. Come sit inside.
Is it necessary to sit here and talk?
We could have sat downstairs and spoken too.
Hareem, we will get married in a few days.
Do you not trust me this much?
It is not about trust, it is about manners.
Hareem, I myself didn’t want that someone sees you here.
That I am in the home alone, and you have come here.
So, it would be bad for you.
That’s why I brought you here,
and I also wanted that you see your room.
Okay, can we now talk about the thing I came to speak about.
We will listen to you.
Once you are done talking, then I will say what I have to.
The thing is that
your mother has some thoughts in her mind,
that are really different from my thinking.
She is also looking at this wedding in another way.
What do you mean? I don’t understand.
What do you want to say?
Mr Nasir,
there will no demand for dowry along with my existence.
If you accept my existence,
then I too accept the companionship of you people
in every moment of sorrow and happiness till my last breath.
