Sameer, you're still sleeping? I thought you must have already gone to meet my father.
I'm going to ask for your hand in marriage....
not give him the morning newspaper. Where are you? Won't you be there??
There is no school today but you know I go to tutor kids. My bus is here..
Hurry up and go to my house. My father hates people who come late.
I'm going. And I remember all your instructions as well.
but it would have been better if your were there. Couldn't you take the day off??
I can't do that, I'm teaching at a good home. I'll be there by the time you get home.
Don't say anything stupid there and don't tell any of your music stories.. Ok?
Shut up!
Enough is enough, Madam. They play new pranks everyday. I'm leaving this college right now.
Miss Husnara, you joined this college few days ago.
These 10 days were the worst days of my life!
These 10 days were the worst days of the college history. I think this music teacher had done a PhD on making people deaf.
I don't think she will stay long...
I won't let her stay any longer. I can tolerate any other teacher, but I have no sympathy for music teachers.
The students here don't have any respect for their teachers here.
Miss Husnara, I think I have to do something so that a music teacher can teach here longer.
Like what??
The board has recommended a male music teacher, I will talk to him.
So, you're an orphan?
Yes, Ghazal must have told you.
What we mean is you must have some relatives. Any Uncles?
There must be but maybe they didn't want to carry my responsibility and I had to spend my childhood in an orphanage.
What strange people! Why would they put their own nephew in an orphanage?
Even if they don't treat you like their own son... but orphans manage.
You don't have any Uncles or aunties?
Really, it seems like your relatives can't even pretend in front of the world..
In our eyes, people like that are neither respectable nor family oriented.
Maybe you're right, maybe they are not decent and respectable.
How long have you been living in an orphanage?
What?
Who knows what's going on there. I told Sameer everything but I'm sure he must have forgot.
Oh no, I forgot to give Dad his blood pressure medicine.. What is Sameer increases his blood pressure?
You must know what kind of kids open their eyes in an orphanage..
How did you manage to get so educated when you were in the orphanage since you were 11 years old?
You sound disappointed to see an orphan being educated and holding a degree..
That's the sad part about our society.. we can only picture an orphan cleaning cars or dishes..
anyway.... there was a kind man who helped me get an education..
Where is he now?
Where good people usually go..
I mean, he is with God now...
It seems he died long ago, or else you would've been married long ago..
You're pretty old and yet you're not married. You must be around 30-32?
Ghazal has the two of you with her and yet she's not married. I mean she must be 27-28?
You don't have your own house nor a good job. Why did you even think to bring your proposal?
You are a psychiatric degree, why don't you practice it then?
Psychiatrists there days are earning more than other doctors these days.. Instead of playing harmonium and guitar, why don't you make use of your degree?
Its because of mad people this world is still full of honest people..
I don't want to get rid of their innocence and honesty by treating them.
But I don't want my daughter to starve by marrying you either.
I'm not starving and nor will your daughter..
and its not like she is eating great food here. She is the one running this house by teaching and tutoring..
At least I will be earning for her..
Yeah, you will give her dry bread and chutney..
Mom!
Be quite Ghazal. Not just dry bread and chutney, he will also make your life miserable with his bitter talks and bad habits..
I'll be straight, I don't like this boy at all.
Coincidentally, I feel the same about you.
What did you do, Sameer?
I did exactly what your parents wanted..
they wanted to dislike me and stop you from marrying.. I just gave them the opportunity..
I don't understand you...
Look Ghazal, I've observed people all my life.. I know exactly how someone feels about me in the first meeting..
when I came here, I knew they will refuse me no matter what.
You're just making excuses, Sameer.
Think what you want, Ghazal. I only have my self respect and if someone doesn't like me, I don't try to do things to make them like me.
Not even for me?
Not for anyone.
Dilkush, why do you hate music teachers so much?
I don't hate music teachers, I hate music.
Exactly, why do you hate it?
If you hate music so much then why did you even take it?
I didn't take it, my Mom forced me. But she can't make me learn it, that's why I do these things.
I don't hate music or learning music, but the reason why my Mom is making me take it will never happen!
What is the reason?
Its a very sad story..
Actually.. Nida, I kept a very big truth of my life from you..
What truth?
Nida, I will tell you but promise me you won't get angry and we will still be friend.
Yes we will, tell me.
The truth is that my Mom is not my real mother, she is my step mother..
and a *** also..
What?!
She left her past behind but she wants to make me learn to dance..
but I will never let that happen.
Mam, I have to confirm your seat, please let me know the date.
Shaista, I'll let you know in a day or two.
Mam, your documents. Please check them.
Shaista, have the lawyer call me.
Ok.
And send coffee.
Hello. Ali!
When did you arrive??
I know why you came to Pakistan.
Ok, bring her with you. I miss her so much.
Idiot! Surprise again?
Surprise? You forgot my birthday? You know very well I cut my birthday cake with you every year. How is that a surprise?
Its your birthday already!
You mean you really forgot? Wait, I'll show you!
Help!
He was very disrespectful. He had no one to teach him respect. He has no respect for anyone.
I'm not older than him, so what if he doesn't respect me?
You wouldn't care even if he disrespects your parents?
He was very cheap as well, he came here empty handed.
Yeah, he even took bunch of biscuits off the plate as well.
He will not meet your needs. People who don't have money, they will their wives suffer as well.
He is also stubborn, instead of practicing his degree, he is teaching music.
He won't succeed and won't let you succeed either.
He is not sincere about you either. If he cared about you he would quit his music and earn thousands by running his own clinic.
How would he treat someone, he seemed mental to me himself.
Here, eat!
And my gift?
I swear I bought it but what happened was..
Don't you dare lie. You can make the whole world a fool but not me.
Ali, you catch me before I even lie.
Yeah, because I'm the only one in the world who doesn't get fooled by your dramas..
I can catch all your lies, even the lie you were just about to make.
You'll see, one day I will fool you so hard that you wouldn't know what's true..
Impossible. Can't happen.
Challenge? With me? Wanna bet?
Its a bet.
For how much?
If you win, I will do whatever you want and if I win you have to do what I want.
Ghazal, tea for you.
Honey, we met the boy you want to marry.. he is not suitable.. you have to trust your parents' choice..
Your choice?
Yeah, you know my sister from Sargodha who is settled in Canada? She has sent a proposal for her brother in law for you.
They're asking for no dowry and no useless festivities.. we can have the Nikah over the phone and they will send the tickets.
We approve of this proposal. You should say yes.
Sameer was right..
You were going to reject him no matter what. Even if he was made of gold.
I knew I wasn't wrong.
I refused the proposal.
Why?
What do you mean why? They rejected you without any reason. I won't accept their proposal.
Does that mean you won't marry at all?
Are you punishing them or yourself?
I will marry you.
Sorry, but I won't.
Yeah Ghazal, you've known me for 2 years now.. I don't let anyone win in front of my ego and self respect.
The people who humiliated me and rejected me, you want me to take the proposal again to them?
What if I convince them to apologize to you and bring my proposal themselves?
Then I will refuse to make it make it equal.
Maybe that's how I will find some peace.
Sameer... I thought you would find peace by marrying me.
You're a nice girl, Ghazal. I saw myself spending my life with you..
but my self respect is the most important thing for me.
I have to go, Madam. But I have a test on Monday.
If you have to go then you will have to come back the day after tomorrow.
You don't know, Madam.. I don't go there on my own will, nor do I come back on my own will.
You have no idea how difficult it is for me to go there.
My grandmother is very ill. She is counting her last breaths.
Didn't your grandmother pass away in Ramadan?
I don't have just one grandmother. My grandfather's habit of marrying has brought us to poverty..
Two grandmothers have passed away and two of them are still alive. I don't know why God tests poor people so much!
I'm tired of this girl, she doesn't let any music teacher stay in this college.
Why don't you just expel her?
How can I? I always don't because of her family.
Why because of her family?
Her mother is the biggest donor in this college. She is also a board member.
Dilkush must be on her way. You know how she gets, her room must be perfect.
Yes Mam.
Her friends will start gathering here too. That's why the kitchen staff can not take any days off.
Yes Mam, I will take care of everything.
Yeah, please do.
So the life of my world is coming.
Yes Dad, that's why an emergency has been declared in this home..
Firdos, you have been really unfair to your old man by sending her to hostel away from me..
Dad, this is for her own good. I wanted to send her abroad but I didn't because of you.
I'll go check her room. Can you please check the dining room?
Mop it really well. Her room has to be done as well.
So this is your final decision?
Yeah, its final. And believe me, you will be much happier in Canada.
Without you?
Yeah, without me. What would you have gotten from me anyway.
You didn't think of this before?
I did.. we're not teenagers..
Look, we're both mature. I thought after 2 years, we could turn this friendship to marriage..
but if yesterday didn't happen, we could have spend our lives together..
and even if you emotionally blackmail your parents to marry me, you know what will happen?
What will happen?
I will think my whole life that they accepted me by force..
I can't respect them and you wouldn't like that. So its better that you marry where they want you to..
That means you never loved me.
If you take out the last two months before I proposed you, we were just good friends..
so lets separate like good friends and if we meet again, we will meet like good friends as well.
Drive faster, Ali! Faster!
What happened?
You know, you're the only one who goes along with my speed. You like flying just like me..
I want to stay with you now.. not fly.
I don't enjoy stopping.
Not even with me?
No, I have always liked doing everything with you.
It will always be like that. Pray that we always stay together.
Obviously Ali, its not like I'm dying.
Ok, drive faster now. Faster!
What do you mean, Dad? Who said this to you? Qaiser Bhai (brother)?
Obviously. Ali as well.
There is no reason to be surprised.
Both of them like each other. They have always been like this since childhood..
Both can't live without each other either..
Its been 6 years since Qaiser shifted to Austrailia. But time and distance didn't effect their friendship.
That's all fine, Dad, but..
Why are you so worried? Ali is your brother's son.
Brother's son.
The brother that never cared for me?
The brother that never supported me?
Which brother would support his sister in getting a divorce?
This debate is old now, Dad. The only reason I like Ali is because he is my daughter's best friend.
He is a good boy as well. I really don't care that he is my brother's son.
I don't have any interest in my brother or his children.
But he does with your daughter. That's why he has sent this proposal.
Dad, Dil is still very young. I don't want her to tie herself to any relationship right now.
Not even an engagement.
She still has a lot to achieve..
Dad, she is not a daughter of an ordinary woman..
she won't live an ordinary life..
My child!
Be careful, Dada (grandfather) will fall.
Its okay, I'm here to take care of Nana (maternal grandfather). I'm Nana's lioness!
Come here, why are you standing there?
Mom, you have all my favorite food here!
Because today, you're sitting here at the dinner table with us. We won't even see you tomorrow because you will be roaming around with Ali.
So I thought I should have all your favorite food here.
No, our butterfly will have to stay here. Qaiser and Riffat are coming here from Australia.
Really? Uncle and auntie are coming? Ali, why didn't you tell me?
Actually, they...
I was just about to tell you.. Qaiser Bhai and Bhabhi (sister in law) are coming for something special..
Phupo (paternal aunt)...
Qaiser Bhai is coming to bring Ali's proposal for you..
What?! Ali, what is this nonsense? Didn't you stop Uncle?
Ali is happy with all this..
Dil, are you not happy with this?
Not even 1%! I wouldn't want to say this to Uncle myself, so please tell him that he is welcome here, but not for anything else..
Me and Ali? Impossible!
Firdous, you brought this up really inappropriately and at the wrong time.
It would have been better if Ali talked to her first in confidence..
Dad, you know Dilkush better than me. Her no means no.
Say it, Dilkush.
How did you know it was me?
My heart just knows, I don't have to see you to know.
Are you angry with me?
I shouldn't be?
If you're angry that before taking this step, I didn't discuss with you first..
then you can fight with me, but at least don't react like this.
It was really hurtful.
You also said something big without asking me.
Ali, you're my childhood friend. You're very special to me and you always will be..
but not marriage, Ali.. I never thought of you like that and I can't think like that either.
Of course I love you a lot... but I don't love you in that way, Ali..
Lie...
You're a liar!
I even told you, you can make up stories in front of the world and the world will believe you, but not me..
Ali, I'm not lying!
Nonsense! You don't love me. You don't want to spend your life with me. What can be a bigger lie than that?
You were really proud that you can tell when I'm lying or not.. Why aren't you accepting now that I'm telling the truth?
Look at me..
Do you have to speak all your truths to me?
You lie to the whole world, you could have lied to me just once..
You're too clever, you catch all my lies.
Everyone should have one friend that you can speak the truth to..
Drama queen. Say it straight, you have another hero in your life, don't you?
I swear there is no one..
If today wasn't great, that doesn't mean tomorrow won't be...
Should I think about what's ahead or should I just think about today??
Its possible that tomorrow might bring pleasant surprises for me....
