What is happening to me?
Even when I want to, why can’t I get her out of my mind?
Why is this happening to me?
I have taken her out of my life,
I hate her.
Then why does she come in front of me again and again.
Why am I restless? I don’t know.
You know our honeymoon picture have created havoc.
You know a fashion magazine editor called me,
he is saying he wants to print the pictures on the front page.
He wants to give her the award of best couple of the year.
You are not happy? You don’t look excited?
What is there to be excited about?
Sultan, what has happened?
Why do you ignore everything I say like this?
When I question you, you ignore.
I have been seeing for the past few days,
is everything okay?
Everything is fine. You talk less.
Since when did you start hating me talk.
Why do you ask so many questions? What is your problem?
Sultan, what is wrong with you,
why are you always in a bad mood,
I feel scared talking to you.
Have you forgotten to laugh?
I am not a joker
that I laugh around to make you happy.
You married me, you didn’t buy me that I act as you want.
Where did you go? Why did you go? Why are you upset? Why did you go there?
Seriously!
Listen, give me some space
or I will be suffocated with you.
Sultan, I was just…
Sultan got married with his uncle’s daughter,
they are really rich,
the picture is in the paper today.
The bride is happy and Sultan looks happy too.
Why are you standing here?
Nothing.
Why are you crying?
No. something went in my eye…
No, I just saw, you were crying.
I said no.
Sorry,
I shouldn’t have asked you…
If you have nothing else to say, then leave.
You know I have not seen a more serious face in my life,
why do you always scold me, I mean, I was just saying that life is short stay happy.
It’s so easy for people to say that, stay happy,
like happiness grows on a tree.
When you want, you can break it.
You are right.
But Nageen,
life is not to be sorry for.
I mean who is not there in the world, who has not been hurt,
whose chest is hurt,
your pain may be huge for you,
but that doesn’t mean that the other person’s pain is less.
Each person has some pain in their life.
I will not ask you
why you are depressed,
I will never ask it.
I will just say that life is something beautiful,
be positive about your life,
then you will see,
happiness will await you.
I feel I said too much.
If you didn’t like something I said,
forgive me.
I was thinking that we celebrate my birthday lavishly.
Yeah.
I mean it’s my first birthday after the wedding,
you will have to make it special.
Right?
Yeah.
Let’s get a hatch booked.
Yeah.
Great.
What are you gifting me?
Look,
I don’t want pearls or diamonds,
I want a sports car.
I was thinking that
why don’t we book a world cruise for the summers.
Why,
wasn’t the trip to Europe enough for you?
That you planning a world tour.
Are you mad?
That was our honeymoon,
this is a world tour we are planning for summers.
You know what? Your life revolves around 3 things,
going out, traveling and shopping.
So, you tell me, what do I do?
Sit home and make you bread?
I said what I had to, don’t argue with me.
So, you think I am deaf and dumb
that I hear every sarcasm you throw at me,
and tolerate how you treat me?
I live my life my way,
I cannot tolerate restrictions and sarcasm.
I am suffocated with you here.
Why are you here?
Get lost to your father’s home then.
What will happen to these two?
Hey, Ujala, good you came.
There is a public strike, I cannot find a conveyance,
can you please drop me home?
Hey, how can I drop you?
My brother comes to pick me up on a bike.
You do one thing,
you ask sir, he will drop you.
Hey, my brother is here. I am going.
Why are you worried?
I will drop you.
No, my home is far from here.
Okay, do one thing, pay me for petrol.
It was funny, you don’t laugh on anything,
you should smile for a change.
See, you are smiling,
you look so good.
Look, stay smiling, you look nice. Come I will drop you.
No, you don’t worry, I will go myself.
A friend helps another in their worry and I am your friend,
but it’s another thing you don’t consider me your friend.
We are getting late and we have to go far.
You come on.
Hey, come on. Come.
Why are you so reserved about yourself? Why don’t you say anything?
What do you want to know?
I want to know,
how are you living alone here, without your family in this city and why?
You will find it weird,
but I don’t have a family,
my mother passed away in my childhood and papa got married again.
He is living a happy married life with his wife and children.
He doesn’t care where I am or what I am doing.
But you must have someone, brother, sister, relatives.
I have a sister,
my father left me with her in my childhood,
I realized at the age of 13 that I should stand on my feet.
So, I started a job,
then I come here to my aunt temporarily.
I feel you have been through a big storm and gotten here.
Nothing like that.
Look, I can see it,
your face tells the story of your heart.
Why did you stop here?
I have to do something small here,
give me 5 minutes, I will be back in 2.
Oh, the lock.
Just 2 minutes.
The old man was asking me. This is for you.
What is this?
Please keep it,
don’t say now that I cannot give you these flowers.
Look, it’s not necessary that when a man gives flowers to a girl, he is proposing her.
All this can be done in friendship
and I am giving you all this as a gift, since it’s your birthday today.
How do you know it’s my birthday.
Good question.
Very good question. How did I know?
Actually, your personal file was in the office,
so, I, checked it while investigating, it was written in it…
What? Why?
I know, that was really wrong of me.
Really really wrong.
Bad boy Haroon,
I shouldn’t have done it but I wanted to know your family background,
you were not telling me anything.
Why do you want to know about me?
Cause I wanted to befriend you.
Now don’t say that a boy and girl cannot be friends.
All this is old fashion, I don’t believe in it,
I am someone who is from the new world and I feel we can be friends,
I want to be your friend.
A good and sincere friend. I know you will not say no.
Look you...
Look, you see I know you have been through a similar situation as me.
You have been through heartbreak.
When two people have their hearts breaker in love,
and God makes them meet,
then their friendship becomes their only support.
Look,
I cannot accept these flowers or your friendship.
You please drop me home quickly, or else I will go myself.
Look, that is up to you,
actually, the problem is there is a strike in the city,
you won't find a rickshaw or cab.
If you can find a conveyance, then fine, or else this driver is at your service.
Thought about it, shall we go?
There is no reply, so, I think you meant okay.
Ms. Nageen you were talking to Ujala about a girl’s hostel.
I have a friend,
who does all of this well, if you want, I can talk to him.
Do you have nothing else to do apart from hearing others.
What is your problem?
My problem?
I want to sit in a restaurant and have coffee.
What do you mean?
I mean my favorite restaurant is nearby, the coffee is famous and the food is awesome.
What are you doing?
I am getting really late, I have to get home, drop me.
Hey, you are not late, I am telling you.
You won't find a conveyance throughout the city
and I cannot drive on an empty stomach.
If you want that you driver drops you home in this situation
where there is no conveyance, please let him eat food.
Its nearby, see, we will take a right, then a left, a little forward, another right,
then another left,
there is the restaurant on the corner of the road.
Just wait.
This is it.
Okay, this is it.
Thank you. Please get two coffees.
Okay.
I will tell you of the food later.
This table is reserved.
This means you had planned everything.
Look,
I wanted to celebrate your birthday,
and if it’s a crime to celebrate a friend’s birthday, then yes, I have committed a crime.
That too for a friend, who is alone in the city.
Hey, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you.
Thank you.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday dear Nageen. Happy birthday to you.
You lied and got me here,
what do you think?
these cheap actions or these fake sympathies from you will impress me?
You are mistaken.
Men like you see a girl and show fake sympathies.
Coffee.
Okay.
Please have it quickly and leave.
You have yours.
I don’t have coffee.
But I love it,
I can have 6-7 cups in a day, you know why?
Because I feel that coffee and life are the same,
sweet and bitter.
Do you have nothing else to do apart from these stupid philosophies.
This reminds me,
the poet Ghalib has said,
love has made me stupid or I was someone who was useful.
Please hurry up, we are getting late.
What is the hurry, cut the cake.
Look, I have told you before…
First cake. Please.
What is the point of all this?
Hey, you just told me what it meant.
I think this means I want to give you fake sympathies or I am flirting with you, right?
What do you want?
Cake.
Cut.
I will have to do it to get rid of you.
Wait. Wait.
I think you have never cut your birthday cake
and no one invited you to their birthdays.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday dear Nageen.
Happy birthday to you.
Have it, I am getting late.
Do you want a piece?
No.
Are you on a diet?
I think there is something, or else is there a strike at midnight?
She is not here.
I had told you people earlier, this girl will do something one day,
she is not right.
But you didn’t listen to me, you got a stranger girl to this home,
whose family doesn’t want her and you want us to pamper her.
Don’t be stupid,
and pray that the girl comes home safe.
What?
We pray for the one who wants to ruin our respect in the locality.
This is a locality of nice people,
the whole locality will swear at us and point fingers at us.
She will ruin our life here,
you call Nuzhat and check with her where her sister is out at this hour and with whom?
Don’t you dare call anyone, you will worry them for no reason.
What is wrong, you are always supporting her.
Is she your niece or mine?
I know what I have to do with her, I will teach her a lesson.
I will not tolerate that cheap girl in my home for a day even.
You are not calling, right?
I will call her sister and insult her,
this is a scene.
Why do you feel
that both of us have been in the same situation.
It’s not necessary that people who are sad have their heart broken in love.
You know, looking at you I cannot say
that someone was unfaithful to you.
Because I am always smiling.
I have heard people like you are afraid of the dark,
so, you try to stay happy and keep others happy too.
Nothing like it and you have your philosophies too,
I feel you know a lot about love.
No,
nothing like that.
Just…
but I do really think that
I wish I was like you,
stayed happy like you,
tried to keep people happy.
You can still try,
a lot of time has not passed.
Then you will see how beautiful life is.
What happened?
I don’t know.
I don’t know the car broke down; it will start. I will step out and see.
I think something happened to the car.
What?
This usually doesn’t happen, I didn’t know it would break down like this.
Because of this strike there is no conveyance and then your car broke down,
how long will it take?
I cannot say much,
I will check what the issue is, then we will know.
All this is because of you,
you wanted to celebrate my birthday,
you know I live with my relatives,
if anything happens, they will point fingers.
I am really sorry.
What will your sorry do?
I am in trouble for no reason.
I will go with you,
I will meet your relatives,
I will tell them that the car broke down cause of that…
For God’s sake don’t come there, I got a home with difficulty,
I don’t want to lose it because of you.
Why do you have to live with relatives that don’t trust you?
No one, not even their relatives trust a lonely girl.
No, that is not possible,
you go home, pack your bags, I will find a good girl’s hostel…
Keep your suggestions and your sympathies, and get me home safely.
Sure…
Hello.
Where are you?
You have no idea everyone is really worried for you there.
Sister,
I was in a meeting with a colleague, the car broke down.
Don’t give me explanations,
get home immediately, before things reach papa.
Sister, we are trying,
but I am with someone,
my colleague.
Are you mad?
You will get a drop there with a stranger.
Do you know what they are like?
They will create stories seeing you with him.
I arranged for you to stay there with difficulty.
If they ask you to leave what will you do.
Sister, I…
For God’s sake, tell me how long it will take,
everyone at home is worried.
If this isn’t working, then I will go find a cab myself.
No, you cannot go anywhere,
it’s really late,
you won't find a conveyance, I won't let you go.
Hello.
Yes, aunt, I am on the way,
yes, I am reaching in a bit.
Yes.
For God’s sake, hurry up, how long will it take.
5 minutes,
just give me 5 minutes, I will fix the car.
You please drop me outside on the road.
How can I do that? Your home is near.
Why don’t you get it?
If people there see me coming with you, they will make stories.
Look, its 1 am, I cannot do that.
You have any idea if they see me with you, they will create a scene.
I will drop you outside the home, that is, it.
Stop the car here.
I will stop it.
What is wrong with you?
What do you think of yourself?
Are you a movie star? A hero?
You have any idea how much trouble I will be in cause of you.
Fine, you can get off here and leave.
I will not drive further.
Nageen, I am with you in all situations,
and who dare point fingers at you with me here.
Brother Rizwan.
Brother Rizwan, listen…
What happened? Why are you worried?
He saw me with you here,
I don’t know what he will say to aunt,
I don’t know how I will justify.
Look, I understand your situation.
All this happened because of me, I am really sorry; I will come inside with you.
No need for that, leave.
Listen, try and understand, all this happened because of me,
I am really sorry.
I will go inside and clear it, I will talk to them.
What will you say?
They won't get anything you say, you get it?
You have ruined things enough, go from here and don’t come after me.
But Nageen…
What happened?
I knew it had to do with some guy,
and I am sure this is the same guy she ran away with on the night of her wedding.
I…
Where were you?
Who were you roaming around with? Who is the boy who dropped you here?
Office colleague,
I couldn’t find a rickshaw cause of the strike, so, he came to drop me.
Stop it,
don’t make stories,
I know girls who work like you well,
you roam around the city making your job as the excuse.
I made a mistake to support you in this poverty.
Who does that?
You will not stay in this home for a minute, you get it.
Uncle, you talk to her,
I don’t know where she went and she is not getting me.
I will talk to her. I will.
Get out of here.
I will talk to them.
Look, I think you got it wrong,
what you were saying, nothing like it.
As far as me dropping her was concerned,
I am sure you didn’t see the news,
there was a strike in the city,
I told her that I will drop her here.
Who are you to interfere in our personal matters.
This is a locality of decent people, please don’t interfere.
I am talking decently, you…
You please, leave from here.
What do you mean?
Leave from here?
What will you do here?
You take your things and go with him.
Aunt, try and understand.
I don’t want to hear anything, take your things and leave.
Where will I go at this hour?
Don’t drag me out so late at night,
if you want, I will go in the morning but where will I go at this hour aunt?
Please don’t do this.
Why are you asking us this?
Ask him, you roam around all the time with him.
You have had fun,
he can take you out,
but can't marry you and take you to his home?
Nageen,
come with me.
Yes,
go with your friend and have fun.
Hey, I don’t want another problem in my home because of you.
Us poor people only have respect and girls like you don’t know about respect.
Come on get out.
What are you saying aunt?
Come on, get out.
Get out of my home.
Did you not hear what I said? Get out of here.
Nageen, you come with me.
I am telling you to come.
These people are not worth you.
Come on.
Look, honestly, I should apologize,
but I won’t.
You know why?
Because the place you were living in,
the people there were cheap and narrow minded.
They had already made your life hell,
you couldn’t live there happy, so, what happened was good.
God made this way and you left everything and came.
Where will I go now?
At this hour?
I will take you home,
you stay the night here,
in the morning I will arrange a girl’s hostel for you.
No,
I cannot go to your home at this hour.
Why?
Look,
try and understand you cannot live anywhere else at this hour,
you have stayed at my home, met my family, you should trust me.
It’s not about trust.
I don’t want to go to your home so late at night.
God knows what your mother will think,
you please drop me at a shelter home.
Shelter home?
Look, people who have no one go to shelter homes,
you are an orphan, but not someone who has no one.
I am worse than them,
I feel that I don’t have a sky on my head, nor a ground under my feet.
I was so strong,
so brave,
I always used to think that
I won't make my loneliness my weakness,
but I will make it my strength,
but I lost today.
I lost.
I have never felt so helpless that I feel today.
You are not alone,
I am with you.
I will be with you till my last breath.
I want to marry you.
Look Rida,
when Haroon knew that today was a strike,
he should have left office on time.
He still hasn’t come home.
Come on mama, he is on his way, he is nearby, I spoke to him.
It’s so late at night,
you are telling me not to worry, he is not home yet.
Mama, brother is here.
Ok, I will talk to him myself.
Where were you so late? Where are you coming from?
I actually…
One minute.
She is the same girl? What is she doing with you at this hour?
Mama, let’s go inside and talk. I…
No, tell me right here, why did she come home with you?
Why is she here?
Mama, do you want the whole locality to know the story?
I am saying,
let us come inside, I will tell you.
You come inside.
Mama, I am saying I will tell you.
Move.
She was helpless,
I couldn’t have left her, I got her, so what?
I will drop her in the morning, that is it.
Where?
Where will you drop her?
I will get her a room in the hostel.
Why?
Are you her body guard?
Is there no one in the world to support her,
are you the only one?
Listen to me Haroon,
earlier, I let that girl live in my home considering her alone and a traveler.
but I cannot take that risk now.
I cannot.
I feel something is fishy.
I am sure you have an affair with that girl.
Yes, I do have an affair, I like her.
Get me married.
Haroon.
Listen to me. Listen to me!
You want such a girl to be the daughter in law of this family,
someone whom we have no information about?
