Mother...
I didn't go last year as well.
My class mates go there every year!
Aliyah I'm asking you not to give me a head ache!
No need to go on any trip !No need to give me a headache!
Uncle!
Uncle listen to me...
How dare you!
No...
Will you plot against me in my own home?
No uncle!
Not a word out of you!
Otherwise I will get rid of you, by divorcing you!
I will say one thing... even if you kill me!
That I love Noshi!
How dare you take my daughter's name!
Bring me my gun, I will kill him!
Enough father!
You can't do anything! If you want to kill him, then kill me as well!
I don't want to live without ASIM!
Go...
and tell Mr. Fazal that my daughter is dead!
And you..
Call your sister!
Tell her to bring Ahsan here!
Sister-in-law please talk to mother.
I should talk to mother!
No way!
Your brother will be back in the evening!
I can talk to him!
Really!
Auntie!
There is a phone call for you!
Who is it?
I don't know, mother said that you should come and get it!
I'll follow your lead, God I hope it's not Nabeela's in-laws!
Brother Ahsan, there's a phone call from your home!
My home?
You have two weeks!
You have two weeks to take Noshi away from here!
Two weeks is far too less, brother Siddiq!
I have spoken!
These two weeks are for my respect and honor!
Otherwise your son cannot do more to humiliate me!
Uncle...
ASIM does not have a job and you know the state of our home.
We can't arrange a wedding right now!
Let us commit to a marriage and we'll have a wedding later in the future!
I've taken my decision!
Their wedding will be in two weeks otherwise I'll shoot them both and bury them in the back-yard!
No...
I accept!
We'll have the wedding after two weeks!
Ahsan and ASIM, we should get going now!
We have to prepare for a-lot of things!
Listen... remember that you will bring people over to my door...
So the people you bring over should be up to my standard!
Look at this shameful man!
He went to his aunt's home!
You could have at least thought of your dead father's respect!
Or for your sister... or brother!
Instead of scolding him, we should think about how we will arrange a wedding!
Uncle also reminded us of his standard!
Look... he has no shame, he went to his aunt's house with a proposal!
Did you not think for one moment? Now go and rob a place!
Bring us some money, so that we may prepare for your wedding!
It is not my fault... uncle Siddique has lost his mind!
He beat me up and threatened me with his gun. It is not a crime to love someone!
Siddique's anger is notorious in all of our extended family!
He has left you off easy this time, but if you don't listen to him then he will shoot you!
Mother don't worry.
Everything will get better!
How will it get better ZUBI?
Where will we get so much money for the wedding?
Don't you worry!
I'll take a loan from one of my friends!
Sure! Like someone will give a loan to you!
If father was here....
then he would have spend some money on me! You have spent it all on brother!
Your father did not leave treasure chest behind, for us to spend on you!
Have you no shame in talking to your brother like that!
I'm an orphan, right!
No one cares for me!
ASIM... you shouldn't think like that
Your brother is very worried about you!
Let it go sister-in-law!
It's better for one to be a dog rather than be the youngest son!
Hey!
Did you see! He's is blaming us for his actions!
What should we do?
Mother we'll think of something!
I'll go to the factory and ask for a loan from the manager.
Tell Nabeela what we are going through!
Otherwise she'll complain that we didn't tell her!
And I'll ask RUQQAYAH to pay me the committee amount early this month!
Another addition to my problems!
I know that you are very happy today!
And that your heart is bursting with joy!
But you don't know how deep a pit you have dug for yourself!
What are you saying, mother! You're upset more than father!
Stupid girl!
A girl who marries someone against his father's wishes...
loses her place in her father's heart!
And now bare alone what you'll face at your in-laws!
I'm telling you, even if you bring any complain here, no one will listen to you!
Mother why are you scaring me, God forbid something like that happens to me!
Tell me one thing... what does sister MUMTAZ have?
Will you be able to tolerate the poverty they face?
I know that they have tough over there...
But ASIM will find a job and will you and father do nothing for me?
No... father has refused to give you anything!
Now if someone will do anything then that's ASIM!
What are you saying mother?
Look mother.... this will be unjust towards me!
My gold set...
And crockery... electronics...
You have been gathering it all for me, what will happen to them?
When you're doing everything against your father...
then you'll have to say goodbye to your dowry...
I don't need any dowry...
With ASIM I can even live in a small hut!
Really!
Noshi all of these sentiments sound nice in stories!
You'll come to your senses if you had to live inside a hut!
But still I pray to God...
that you won't have to face something...
that is more than you can tolerate!
Who was it?
Mother.
You were talking to her a while!
Have they bought a phone?
Such was the matter.
That is why it took such a long time!
What was so important?
Uh...
ASIM's wedding...
I mean...
ASIM's wedding has been fixed!
He's getting married to aunt KHALIDA's eldest daughter, Noshi!
The wedding is on the twenty seventh, Friday!
ASIM is getting married, even the date is fixed...
And you are being notified of this on the phone!
Wow!
And... they didn't even feel the need to take my advice!
Manzoor, listen to me...
Hmm...
Tea.
What is it Ahsan?
Stop thinking so much!
How can I?
I don't understand anything!
When one doesn't understand something, then one should leave oneself to the mercy of the situation.
You'll find a solution this way!
That's what I do!
What did you find?
You!
And AIMEN!
And what did I give you?
Ahsan... why do you measure love with things?
Your company is what I need.
Relationships are the things that are precious!
I feel like..
giving you and AIMEN
everything in this world!
I want you guys to feel an absence of nothing!
I work hard...
But nothing happens!
Don't be like that Ahsan!
You can do everything!
Believe in yourself!
And believe that I trust you!
Both of your brother are really romantic!
There's brother Ahsan... all the time his wife's name is at his lips!
And your younger brother was two steps ahead of him!
I mean.... he forgot you and your mother and went to his aunt's house on his own, with the proposal!
No one even cares about you!
Then learn something from them!
Don't expect romance from me!
And where is your mother getting the money for this wedding, huh?
You mother gave a lecture on poverty when I asked for a motorcycle!
What do I know?
All of it is an act.. they act poor in front of you!
Your brother and mother have saved up a-lot of money!
I have seen brother Ahsan out with his wife and daughter, having a good time!
Is there nothing for you in that home?
Is that not your home? Do you have no right over that home!
Tell them that you won't be able to make it to the wedding!
Until they buy me a motorcycle!
Have some fear of God, mother is already worried because of ASIM's action!
Should I burden my worry on her as well?
That's exactly what will do the trick!
No... not now!
I'll talk to her later!
Sure.... talk to her when she spends all her money on ASIMs wedding!
No need to go to that wedding... sit at home if you don't know how to have your husband respected!
Alright... I'll talk to her if you let me go!
Drop me of at my mother's house, on your way to work!
I'll do that, but I won't go inside!
You know my state very well!
My parents are old!
And five kids and their schooling!
And on top of that I have rent to pay!
Sir has refused to pay out our bonuses as well!
He was saying that the factory is struggling!
What's going on?
What are you doing here?
I thought that I should meet you guys before leaving...
It's good you did that, have a seat.
What is it Ahsan? You look worried to me!
No...
His brother is getting married and he can't get a loan!
Your brother... ASIM , right?
You're getting him married? Did he find a job?
No...
But now he'll serve his wife.
I spent all of my money on tickets and my visa, otherwise I would have helped you out!
Why don't you advice ASIM to go abroad!
He's has been sitting idle here for a long time!
He doesn't listen to me!
But Asif...
Yes?
You're going to Dubai... if you can then try to find a job for ASIM!
I have the responsibility of the entire house already.
And they will only increase after his wedding!
Sure, why not!
As soon as I settle down there.... then will find something... pray for me!
Why won't we pray for you? After all you are our friend!
Food's getting cold.
If God is willing!
I have found some un-stitched clothes from storage... but...
Thank God RUQQAYAH gave me the committee money early this month...
I'm thinking that it will be enough for makeup and jewelry!
Really!
You've got your committee now!
But when I asked you about Manzoor's motorcycle...
Then you said that it will take two years!
You just love your...
sons!
I had no intent of using that money on ASIM's wedding!
I was thinking that I would use this money to make something for Aliyah!
But ASIM... created another problem for me!
You only love them, you don't care about me!
Have you any idea how much Manzoor taunted me?
What should I do with you? I thought you would share my burden!
I thought you will give me courage, but all you're doing is blaming me!
What should I do then? Who should I talk to?
In making your son's home, you will destroy your daughter's home!
God forbid, what are you saying? Have you gone insane?
I will talk to Ahsan...
What will you talk about?
All you have for me is false promises and patience!
Alright, after ASIM's wedding I'll ask Ahsan to buy him a motorcycle!
Really?
Sure... am I lying? Do I ever lie?
Alright... then I'll tell Manzoor that he'll get a motorcycle right after the wedding.
That is the only condition under which he'll attend the wedding!
Otherwise he said that...
he won't even sit at ASIM's wedding!
Okay, alright!
Mother...
Can I keep this black scarf?
What will I wear at the wedding?
God! Where can I go?
Here you go!
Uh...
Listen...
I wanted to talk to you about something!
What is it?
Look, we are marrying our daughter...
Whomever we are giving our daughter to...
If we send our daughter empty handed, then people will talk!
What do you want?
Should I give dowry to your no good nephew?
Since you're giving away your daughter, then why not the dowry as well?
Why don't you thank God that I spared my daughter's life!
If it were up to me, I would have killed them both!
If you have spared her life...
then spare her dowry as well.
It took years to gather all those things for Noshi!
Let her take it away!
Let me work!
Greetings mother!
Greetings brother!
Greetings to you too, have a seat!
ZUBAIDA bring water for Ahsan!
Did you arrange any money?
No mother!
The manager refused!
And you know the worth of my friends!
I don't understand what I will do!
I have taken care of the food and clothes, but how will buy the jewelry?
Tell me what I have to do?
Sister-in-law ZUBAIDA should be telling you that!
She's been acting dumb for so long!
Right mother?
Yes... you are the eldest sister-in-law of this house...
You need to take care of the respect of this house!
We have been worried for so long about ASIM's wedding.
Sister-in-law needs to put in her share as well!
Speak clearly!
We can't buy the jewelry...
I think ZUBAIDA should give her wedding jewelry to ASIM's bride!
She has only one set!
And it is hers!
She did not bring it from her own home... we gave it to her!
It was a gift mother!
And gifts aren't supposed to be taken back!
You can auction off our respect then and save you wife's precious gift!
She has already sold her bangles!
She has only one set left
Should I take that back from her as well?
What are you saying? People sacrifice their lives to save the respect of their homes!
What have I give her ever since we got married?
And a husband should give things to his wife, not take it away from her!
Alright! I will not beg you wife for help!
Uh...
ASIM was right.... in the absence of a father no one can take his place!
A father is the only one who can fulfill his responsibility!
Here you go mother!
I don't want it... your husband will not like it!
Mother... I'm giving this out of my own happiness!
Please take it!
If you happily giving it away...
then brother Ahsan wouldn't be so upset with us right now!
I didn't say anything wrong!
Ahsan is worried!
I'm giving this out of happiness!
I have some un-stitched clothes as well!
I don't wear silk, Noshi can use it!
Please keep this.
Give that to me!
Ahsan..
What was the need for all that?
I was talking to them!
You weren't talking...
You were being my lawyer!
And... what you were doing was making me feel left out!
It's not easy being the oldest!
One has to sacrifice!
Sometimes of your things...
And sometimes of your happiness.
Why is it that every time you have to sacrifice!
Nabeela could have offered her set as well!
What are you saying Ahsan?
Nabeela is the daughter of this home!
Daughter are given things.
Things aren't supposed to be taken away from them!
Sometimes I feel sad that you don't have your own home!
If you had your family then they would have questioned them!
Yes... I feel an absence as well sometimes!
But then I think...
How can a woman feel an absence of anything when she has a loving husband like you!
I will make two golden sets for you, in return for this!
And a dozen of gold bangles!
I have promised that to myself!
And surely I will take that!
I won't let you off so easily!
Did you prepare anything for ASIM's wedding?
What preparations do I have to make?
I have so may clothes from my dowry!
I'll wear something from them!
Huh...
I will need to buy things for AIMEN, though!
You want to buy things?
What do you want?
Toys!
Toys!
You need to buy clothes for your uncle's wedding!
I can't believe it!
That even after being so upset, uncle gave you such a huge dowry!
I can't believe it either!
What?
That...
Even though aunt's hand were so strained, she still give me such a nice gold set!
Why wouldn't she!?
You are not only her daughter-in-law, you're her niece as well!
And my love!
I told mother that I would make all of my dream come true!
Tell me...
Where are we going on our honey moon?
We'll go somewhere!
When and where?
Let me first count the money we got, only then can we know, where we are going!
Will you take me to my honeymoon with the money you received?
Yes, how else am I supposed to take you?
I spent it all on the wedding!
Alright, do what you want!
But take me out somewhere today!
Sure!
Come in!
Mother is calling you, the food is ready!
We're coming... and listen!
Is brother Ahsan at home?
Yes he is... now hurry up!
Okay, we're coming!
Hurry up, brother Ahsan is at home, otherwise he'll leave for work and with his motorcycle.
Okay we'll go... but you didn't tell me...
How do I look?
You look very nice!
The set is lucky for you to be wearing it!
Sister-in-law...
Nothing.... get up now!
ZUBI , come on!
Yes... I'm coming!
I'm just finishing up making lunch!
Aliyah take this, everyone is waiting for lunch!
Take the flat-breads as well!
Are you hungry AIMEN? Have this then!
Take this out!
Aliyah can sit here!
Come on!
Come on!
You look very pretty!
Thank you auntie!
The rice are cooked to perfection today!
Noshi eat up now!
Auntie... I don't eat pulses!
I can't digest it!
Really, we have shortage of meat and it's so expensive that I we can't afford it daily!
Besides... we can keep it, since our fridge is out of order!
We buy as much as we can cook.
Why don't you...
try this potato and cabbage?
Noshi just have little bit!
You haven't had anything since morning!
In the evening go and get some chicken, I'll make it for her!
Mother...
Noshi and I are going out to eat in the evening!
Okay...
Alright then!
ZUBAIDA wind up these dishes and put the kettle on.
You have to finish it all up!
Uh, brother!
Uh... can I get the key for the motorcycle?
I need to go Mr. Sabir's home, he's been calling me for a few days, I need to fix his motor!
You can go there tomorrow, give him the keys!
Alright then.
ASIM...
Yes brother...
Listen to me...
You're married now..
You're not alone anymore...
Start thinking about finding a job!
Yes brother, but...
It's been only one week since my wedding...
You're still not serious!
You should have thought about all of this before your wedding!
Alright brother I'll think about it.
I have to go Mr. Salim's home..
He was telling me about a job!
He needs to hire someone, I'll mention your name!
Alright brother... give me the keys for the motorcycle now.
It does not have much petrol...
I'll fill her up!
ZUBI , what happened there?
It's an ordinary cut, I cut it whilst I was chopping the vegetables!
And you're doing the dishes, where is Aliyah?
Aliyah has a test, I asked her not to wash it myself!
Give that to me!
Hey! What are you doing?
I'm helping you, what else?
Ahsan get away, I don't like it!
What do you mean you don't like it, what's so wrong in me helping you?
If mother saw you then she'll be angry at me!
Get away Ahsan!
ZUBI I don't like it at all!
You take on every responsibility in this house!
Aliyah is here and now Noshi is here as well!
Ask them to help you!
When it's time to eat, everyone is out eating and you're inside the kitchen!
Noshi just got married!
She should at least get a little time with her new husband!
Then she has to work for the rest of her life!
Listen...
Did you think about changing AIMEN's school?
Do you know Ahsan...
I wish....
that we admit AIMEN in a good English medium school.
So that she may speak fluent English!
Do you remember...
the doctor we took AIMEN to.
I want my daughter to be a doctor just like that!
What happened?
Nothing.
God willing that will happen!
I was just sharing my dream!
I don't want it to happen immediately!
English medium schools are not necessary...
She can become a doctor by studying in government school as well!
I'll make tea for you!
Why don't you rest!?
Do you know Ahsan...
I wish....
that we admit AIMEN in an English medium school!
So that she may speak fluent English!
Do you remember...
the doctor we took AIMEN to?
I want my daughter to become a doctor just like that!
ASIM...
ASIM!
ASIM, get me cable!
Cable?
Yes...
My friend NAZI...
She has cable, she get all the new movies at home, she doesn't even need to go to the cinema.
Listen!
I should get some benefit out of this marriage.
Father had a curfew at home!
He didn't let us see any TV!
Was it only that?
How can I refuse anything you say?
That can't happen!
Really!
Yes!
Will you get me cable then?
Yes!
When?
Tomorrow.... no... now!
Right now!
It will be so great, there should be some benefit of having a TV at home!
Do you know I told mother...
that whether she gives me a dowry or not, I will take my TV with me!
Amazing!
I'll bring all the information from the cable offices!
Get up then! Why are you sleeping?
I'm going!
You'll get it done today, right?
Yes!
Your family made a fool out of you!
Why? What happened?
I saw your younger brother ASIM at the market.
So?
Did you not meet him?
He was busy, he does not have the time to meet us!
What was keeping him?
He had big shopping bags, filled with fruit and chicken!
And then he went to the cable office!
Cable?
Yes! Now there will be cable at your home!
They are preparing for all sort of ill deeds!
Your brother have no money to give to you!
But they have money to get cable!
I'm shocked that mother gave them the permission to get cable!
You're shocked at that, not by the fact that where did they get the money?
You really are strange!
I'll talk to mother...
If you go there then bring back the money for the motorcycle, otherwise keep sitting there!
What's with you Manzoor?
Mother has promised that you will get the motorcycle in two to four months!
That was a false promise!
She's making a fool out of you!
ASIM?
Hmm?
Uh...
I...
I wanted to tell you something...
Hmm, what is it?
Who is it?
Brother ASIM hurry up, mother is calling!
I'm coming!
Hurry back!
Okay!
Did you call me?
Yes, sit down.
You've had your wedding... and you've had your fun...
Now pay attention to work!
Ahsan.. tell him..
There was a worker at my factory, named Asif.
He got a job in Dubai, two months ago!
I talked to him on the phone, he said there are a few jobs there...
I talked to him about you.
A job in Dubai?
So?
It's a good opportunity... people would kill to be in your place!
And set your life now!
You know the expenses of this house, I can't cover all of it!
I'll think about it and tell you after one day!
You will think about it? What's there to think about?
I thought you wanted to go and earn abroad!
Huh? Agree to it... get a passport and leave!
It will take some time for your passport to get ready!
Have yours issued, so I may carry things forward!
Okay.
Why did you turn off the TV?
ASIM...
You will go nowhere, I can't live without you!
Where am I going?
I heard everything ASIM!
Brother Ahsan just...
Then say no to brother Ahsan, I can't live without you!
This is nothing to cry about!
We just talked about it.
Put it to bed!
We just got married and you're talking about leaving me?
Who do I have besides you?
Okay... please don't cry!
I can't see tears in your eyes!
Promise me that you won't go!
I promise!
Promise me on my life that you won't go!
I promise on your life that I won't leave you!
But it won't be easy saying no to mother and brother Ahsan!
If you leave me in this condition...
What condition?
It's not necessary for me to tell you everything openly!
Really?
Really?
