It is nothing to proud of, to be honest.
You have just picked up the pawns till now,
the real criminals are roaming freely in their area.
Capture the real culprits,
I don’t want them.
If you are under any pressure, then let me know,
I know how to take my revenge.
I am only quiet because of papa,
or else every single one of them would have been dead.
Hello.
Hello.
So what news did you bring?
yesterday we had a successful raid in area of Kacha,
we caught five people,
two were running away, we shot them.
The ones we caught, two or three of them are injured,
And they need to go to the hospital.
Saeen, they have given their statement
that they were the one who fired the bullets in Saeen Taimur’s wedding.
Mr. Policeman,
you know well who the criminal is,
and you also know very well that transfers and postings in this area are done by our small directive.
If my criminals don’t go behind bars soon,
then I will have to take another route.
Saeen, they will confess soon.
You know that the police has caught great leaders.
Mr. Shah, you be satisfied, I will arrest the real criminals and take them to court.
After all we have a lot of pressure from our DPO,
I will arrest them soon and give you a good news.
Have a seat, sit down.
Norray,
arrange some tea and snacks, the policeman is here.
No, its time for dinner, serve food.
As you order sir.
Papa.
Papa, the tiffin
Hello.
I had told you not to leave the children alone, where are they?
They are in Mahi’s room, they are saying they want to do their homework.
Rasheeda,
I think your time here is over, you go to your village.
Madam,
I tried to make them understand a lot,
but they don’t listen to me. you tell me, what do I do?
Go, take them out of that room. Go.
and next time… Yes.
What happened mama?
You have told Mahi not to leave her room
but they are children, who can make them understand.
They enter Mahi’s room looking for her.
son.
She has stayed here to complete her mourning,
so she should spend it like she is mourning.
She roams around the home, I don’t like this.
It was her decision to complete her mourning here.
If she wanted to go to her parents,
we couldn’t have stopped her.
You are taking her side in front of your mother.
No mama, I am not taking her side.
But I don’t understand this behavior of yours.
What don’t you understand? Huh?
What don’t you understand?
My son,
my Taimur,
got killed by their enemies.
He lost his life.
You are asking me?
I know.
Taimur had to pay for their enmity,
but mama,
it wasn’t Mahi’s fault either. Its her fault.
It is all her fault.
First she did magic and had my son fall for her.
If she was not there, then my son
would have been with me.
I will never forgive her.
I will never forgive her,
and nor will I consider her as a daughter in law of this home.
She can stay here if she wants, if she wants she can go to her mother’s home.
Madam.
Madam. Madam.
God knows what happened to Shahzain. What nonsense?
Shahzain.
Shahzain.
Shahzain. What happened? What happened to my prince? What happened? Move.
Move. Move. Shahzain. What happened to my prince? Take out the car.
Shahzain. Shahzain. Brother Sikandar… We will have to take him to the hospital.
Don’t panic, he will be completely fine.
Leave it, don’t listen to her, take the child to the hospital.
He has high fever, we will have to reduce his fever first,
it will take long to get to the hospital, you bring him to the washroom.
Sikandar. Please come. Bring him. put him here.
God be kind. Shahzain.
Shahzain.
Shahzain.
Shahzain, my prince.
Shahzain.
Pour it here. On the head.
Shahzain, I am here. I am with you.
You will be fine soon.
You can take him to the hospital now,
he has gotten better.
Thank you.
Mama sits like this for hours,
she talks to the walls,
then she looks at the door.
I ask her something, she answers something else, as if her mind is somewhere and
she is somewhere else.
Its good to fool yourself.
Deep sleep is better for her
or else she would suffer like us who don’t sleep.
But till when?
Papa and brother Sajjad say nothing, but I know,
they get upset seeing mama like this all day and night.
You remember,
first papa used to come and we used to get scared of his voice, and hide.
Now he has become so quiet that we don’t even know when he comes and goes back.
Like he too has gone quiet.
We all have gone quiet after Farhad left.
The homes that are full of life and laughter,
if silence takes over,
then silences becomes worse.
All of us have the same silence inside us.
Why has your mother asked you to bring the dinner set?
Are there any special guests coming?
Someone comes daily,
what special, what common?
You know mama,
she is courteous towards everyone.
Anyway, I will return the utensils soon.
But who is coming?
Aunt Jumman has sent someone.
Are they coming with your proposal?
Fari,
I don’t know what is wrong with mama and papa,
they just want me to get married,
like there is no other work in the world.
You talk to him,
tell them that I don’t want to get married.
Look Naheed,
this has to be done sooner or later.
If they are thinking this,
then you try and understand them, they have no fault.
Listen to them.
Because the one who left,
will never return.
Hey, what is this?
you are still not ready?
Everyone there is asking about you.
I don’t feel like it.
After all, I don’t have to sing,
you ask Chambeli or Farzana to sit in the party.
Hey, what does this mean?
I agree that you have dedicated the beauty of your voice to Saeen Sikandar,
but still,
you need to keep in mind the respect of the party as well.
What do I say to the people?
Rich and affluent people come till today in the hopes to hear you sing.
Now I cannot say no to everyone.
I understand you,
but I don’t know why, today,
after returning from the shrine, my heart is sinking.
Like I have lost something precious after finding it.
you, are you fine?
Oh God,
you have such high fever.
I have been feeling like this since evening.
I am sure you got someone’s evil eye from the shrine.
Your beauty looks even greater when you wear a black shawl and the veil of the burqa,
that is why I tell you to cover your face when you leave the home.
Reshma.
Hey, Reshma, listen to me.
Go, bring spices soon,
let me remove the evil eye from my princess.
This is not an evil eye.
Since I came back from there,
my heart is worried.
You are still thinking about that Malang.
I told you, I made a mistake that I doubted him,
so today, I also made amends,
so let this thing go.
I have tried hard to take out his thought from my head,
I don’t know what I am worried about.
Even today, I wanted to meet him and remove this worry,
but he disappeared after one look,
I wish I had stopped him there.
Hey, I have heard such people know black magic.
They are really cunning,
what if that boy belongs to such a gang. They rob people,
and then disappear after making them poor.
I will not let you go to this shrine again.
I don’t know if that boy was a magician or a robber.
Even I am scared of him now.
Don’t entangle your mind with these thoughts,
come on, I will remove the evil eye from you.
Madam Chanda, Malik Munir is downstairs,
he is saying hello to you.
Why is he here?
Okay, you have him seated with respect, and tell him I am coming.
Okay, sure.
Burn these on the stove.
He is a big rich and affluent man from this area.
He has come twice before to listen to you sing,
but I ignored it.
What excuse will I make today?
Just tell him, I have high fever
and what is wrong in that?
Okay, I will go, but if possible,
come for a little while and show your face.
Remember,
there is not a lot of difference between a tyrant and affluent person
and I don’t want to get into an enmity with them.
How is Shahzain now?
He is better,
I have made him sleep in his room.
What happened to him?
He was happily studying with me, he got high fever suddenly,
He fell unconscious, what happened?
He is epileptic.
Even a little fever can be dangerous for him,
he gets fits in tension.
It is all my fault,
I forgot to give him his medication.
Although I know we cannot delay his medication.
Thank you,
you supported me.
Taimur used to support me like this too.
If you think its fine,
then can you tell me about Shahzain’s medication?
I will give him his medication without delay.
No, you will be bothered for no reason.
No, nothing like that, I have nothing to do.
I will like it if I take this responsibility.
This is not right madam Chanda.
No one can give a few thousands every month
and have them bound to their life, that too in this market.
If you say,
then whatever Sikandar sends monthly,
I can give double the amount every week.
But don’t imprison her like this.
I came for her, call her.
Whatever you said is absolutely right, Mr. Malik,
no one can take over someone here,
but as I said,
Romana’s will is also in this.
now she doesn’t want to sit and sing.
If she doesn’t want to sing,
then send her to my mansion,
there will be respectable elites in the party.
There will be no issue singing in front of them.
We are just her fans.
People like us get fans like you out of fate.
But Saeen Sikandar has an agreement with Romana,
now she cannot upset him.
Why are you so scared of him being upset?
What will he do to you people?
He couldn’t protect his brother’s life,
how will he care for Romana?
I am the only fan of Romana, just me.
If you want to test me, then go ahead.
When there is time to test you, then we will surely test you, Mr. Malik.
Right now, understand our helplessness,
when the heart and mind doesn’t agree,
then it becomes difficult to sing.
I am in such a condition right now.
God bless.
God bless. God protect you from the evil eye.
You are not famous in the city for no reason.
Give me a chance to serve you,
you will not find me less than anyone.
I too have a heart.
Most welcome.
If you know about cherishment,
and you also have a place in your heart,
then you would also surely know that no one can control a heart,
and those who have a heart, don’t force a helpless heart.
I have stopped singing in the party,
I hope you will take care of this helplessness of ours.
Fine, Romana,
I am going right now, but remember,
this is not how one should behave.
If you are so fond of Sikander,
then ask him to take you to his mansion.
This is the market,
where people will continuously come here,
even if they come here for your voice.
Okay madam Chanda,
I will come again.
Saeeen, will you stay here or go to the female section?
You go, I am fine here.
Saeen Taimur took the liveliness of the home with him, Saeen.
Now madam makes sure to turn off the lights, early in the evening,
even the lights of the female section are off.
What can she do?
who should she light candles for in the home?
He is not going to come back, who she used to wait all the time.
You too have imprisoned yourself in the home, Saeen.
If you ask me, you should go out in the fresh air,
staying here you will fall ill.
I don’t feel like going anywhere, Shakir.
My heart has lost interest in things.
Taimur took my peace,
happiness, and strength with him as he left.
He was not just my younger brother,
he was my life.
This Sikandar Saeen of yours is just a sculpture made out of sand,
because my soul left with Taimur.
No, Saaen, no.
don’t say that.
May God keep your shadow on this mansion and us, forever.
Try to get out of this shock.
You have not visited there since a long time.
After this accident,
no message came for you, from them.
But I know,
they must be waiting for you,
You should go there.
My brother has been gone for just a month,
you are suggesting me to go there.
have you gone mad?
Saeen,
don’t take me wrong.
I know why you used to go there.
You found peace hearing her voice.
Maybe this way your life would get better.
In a week or ten days,
Taimur Saaen would have been gone for forty days,
so my suggestion would be that you come back to the world.
The whole land needs you,
madam is also broken on the inside,
now you too have to take care of her.
You sent her money for this month, right?
Yes, Saeen,
I give that to Chanda without delays on the first of every month.
There is no question of delays in that.
Palanquins are being placed in your city,
the game has begun.
Its all an illusion.
Rasheeda,
who are the people outside?
madam,
they are beggars,
they have come here for charity on Thursday.
Today is Thursday?
Yes madam. The children have their swimming class.
Did you inform the driver?
Yes, madam,
have informed the driver,
he will stay there till 4 pm.
You go, do your work.
Yes, I will go clean up Saeen Sikandar’s room.
What happened to her?
What do I tell you, madam.
She was fine,
she used to go around the mansion, happy and hearty.
God bless her,
she really used to care for all of us a lot.
one day she got fever,
she was bed ridden,
bed ridden in such a way that she never got up.
both husband and wife loved each other a lot.
This madam of ours could give her life for Saeen Sikandar.
God knows whose evil eye got her,
just like someone’s evil eye took our Saeen Taimur.
Forgive me,
my tongue slipped.
Actually, in this mansion,
everyone says that Saeen Taimur passed away because of someone’s evil eye.
I don’t know,
I feel there is an evil spirit in the mansion.
Madam I will pick it up.
No, you go get the broom.
Okay. Quickly.
What did you do? Show me.
Its bleeding so much.
Go get the first aid box, go. Yes.
What was the need to do this?
Its fine, it will get fine soon.
Its bleeding badly.
You are worried for no reason,
such rich men have come and gone so many times.
No,
all my life has been spent here,
I don’t think Malik Munir has good intentions.
If such man decide on doing something,
they go to any extent.
So what do you want that I change my decision out of Malik Munir’s fear.
I will not do this.
I am not saying that you bow down in front of him,
but don’t consider him so unimportant and easy.
In fact,
my suggestion is that you inform Saeen Sikandar about this.
if not sooner or later,
Malik Munir will come here for sure.
If the matters here reach to a certain extent,
then people stop coming here and we have to sit here no matter what.
That’s it, leave it.
Who gave this?
Meera came.
She gave this letter and left.
Maybe your phone was off,
she was saying that they cannot get in touch with you.
Yes, maybe my phone is in the room.
Who is this Malik Munir.
He has recently sold acres of land after his father’s death and become rich.
He has done this earlier too in this mansion,
he reached there yesterday.
Where does one find him?
He has made a mansion on the outskirts of the city.
He is there nowadays.
Fine.
Take out the car, we will go meet him.
No Saaen, no,
its not right for you to go there at all.
If you go there and talk to him, then there will be unnecessary gossips.
If you allow me, I will go.
After all, he is not worth it, Saeen.
Fine,
but meet him and make him understand never to go there again.
I am mourning my brother,
but I am alive.
Saeen, Mr. Sheikh is here.
Send him.
Okay, Saeen.
Why are you not eating, brother?
Eat.
You are used to day dreaming
and I cannot be part of these fake dreams of yours.
You think I dream?
My dreams are a lie? Yes,
everything is a lie.
Its your self created ego.
