0:16Noor, my child.
0:19These people are accusing you.
0:22If you just sit here in silence like this,
0:27what will happen, dear?
0:31Say something.
0:34Aunt,
0:36can their accusations bring my dad back?
0:41Can they?
0:42If that's the case,
0:43then I'm prepared to endure their taunts for the rest of my life.
0:47Just please ask my dad to come back.
0:50That's not possible now.
0:53If we had the power to bring back the departed,
0:57why would they ever leave us?
0:59You have to accept this reality with patience.
1:06I'm so worried about you, dear.
1:10Why was Mom screaming so much?
1:13I didn't do anything.
1:15I swear, Aunt, I didn't do anything.
1:18He was my dad.
1:22He was my whole world.
1:25How could I possibly take his life?
1:28You know me, don't you, Aunt?
1:30You tell me.
1:31Tell me, could I do something like that?
1:33Could I?
1:36Without Dad, I'm completely alone.
1:39No.
1:41I'm here for my little girl.
1:43Your aunt is here for you.
1:44Yes, Aunt. You're here.
1:48You're all I have.
1:50You're the only one I have left, aren't you? You're here.
1:57I can smell my dad's scent on you.
2:11Mom.
2:13Mom. Please don't cry so much, you'll make yourself sick.
2:18I'm worried about you. I think we should head home now.
2:23I can't leave before the service, son.
2:27If you and your dad want to go, you can go.
2:31Mom.
2:32Please, Mom.
2:34I'll bring you back here tomorrow morning, don't worry.
2:37You can come back then,
2:38but for now, let's go home. You need to rest.
2:40I can't go, Salar.
2:42I can't leave my child crying like this.
2:48You go,
2:50and take care of Murtaza too.
2:53The sorrow of Ahmed's passing has taken a toll on him as well.
2:59Your dad is taking it very hard.
3:01I know, Mom, but I'm worried about your health.
3:06I'm fine, son. I'm fine.
3:08I really am.
3:12Alright, fine.
3:14I'm leaving,
3:15and I'm taking Dad with me.
3:18But please take care of yourself,
3:20and if you need anything at all, please call me.
3:23I'll be here in a heartbeat.
3:27Please take care of yourself.
3:43You won't leave me, will you?
3:45No, I'm not going anywhere. I'm right here with you.
3:47You won't, right? Promise me.
5:24No matter how much you love me,
5:29I could never give you that same love in return, dear.
5:35Sajda keeps behaving like a typical stepmother.
5:39I know everything, dear.
5:41But what can I do?
5:44To keep the peace at home,
5:48I often have to stay quiet and endure the injustices done to you.
6:21Your mother passed away when you were just a baby.
6:25She was wrong to do that.
6:29She shouldn't have left.
6:34She left me with such a huge responsibility of raising you on my own
6:36that I haven't been able to fulfill properly, dear.
6:56In all my life, I couldn't ensure you had the place in this family
7:01that you truly deserved.
7:04You didn't receive the love you truly deserved, dear.
8:19Mom, please have some water.
8:26What's gotten into you?
8:29You're such a strong woman.
8:31You're the one who gives me courage.
8:35You can't fall apart like this.
8:39I never imagined
8:41Iftikhar would humiliate me like that in front of you both.
8:49Why did you have any expectations of him in the first place?
8:51I never did,
8:53but I never thought he'd humiliate me so badly.
8:56Just let it go, Mom.
8:58Brother and I are here with you.
9:02It's for the sake of you two that I spent my entire life with a man I despise.
9:09What do you want, Mom?
9:12Tell me.
9:15Do you want me to marry Maria?
9:20If you think you're going to sacrifice yourself for me,
9:22I'll never let that happen.
9:25I would never want you to spend your life with a girl you don't like.
9:30I'd rather end this miserable relationship
9:32that has never brought me a moment's peace.
9:34That's it.
9:37I understand.
9:40I just wanted to know what you truly wanted.
9:45If you're not in favor of it,
9:47then no force on earth can make me marry Maria.
9:57However, I truly want you to get married now.
10:05Marry any girl who can make you as happy as Hoor did.
10:11Hoor is gone, Mom.
10:15I can never be as happy as I was before.
10:22Surely there must be someone? Someone like Hoor?
10:25Someone you can be happy with?
10:29There can be no one like Hoor, Mom.
10:33No one can ever be like her.
11:10Be patient.
11:12You can't go on like this. You have to be strong.
11:16Ever since I heard about Uncle Ahmed's sudden death,
11:22I've been in shock myself. I don't know what to do.
11:26But you must be brave.
11:29Here, drink some water.
11:31Drink some water.
11:33Noor?
11:36Noor, how can you go on like this?
11:40I know this is all Auntie's fault.
11:43Because of her, Mehwish's wedding procession turned back,
11:46and Uncle Ahmed passed away.
11:48But there's nothing we can do now.
11:50You must stay strong, Noor.
11:53It was Auntie's mistake.
11:54She shouldn't have done it.
11:56She should never have done something like that.
12:00Zara,
12:04I feel like with Dad's passing,
12:08everything has fallen apart.
12:10Of course, he was your everything.
12:15But Noor, you must find courage.
12:18I admit this happened because of Auntie,
12:21and we can't expect any good from her daughters,
12:26but you have your aunt with you.
12:28She's so kind.
12:30She can look after you.
12:33Noor,
12:36everything will be okay.
13:05You left me all alone,
13:09and look at you here, sleeping so peacefully.
13:17You know,
13:21Mom wants me to get back to a normal life.
13:28But how?
13:31How can I go back?
13:34Now, I'm just going through the motions.
13:42My life revolved around you.
13:47After you left,
13:51I forgot how to live.
13:54I know
13:59it must hurt you to see me like this.
14:06But what can I do?
14:10I wish you would come back to me,
14:15so I could start living again.
14:19I wish.
14:23Why does it feel like you're right here with me?
14:41I guess everyone's right when they say
14:43I've really lost my mind.
15:04Alright, I'll get going now,
15:06but I'll be back soon.
16:14Alright, dear.
16:16It's time for me to go.
16:17You're also leaving me all alone.
16:26Spending a few days with me will help ease your heartache.
16:31Go on, you're coming with me.
16:34Noor isn't going anywhere.
16:41It's only been a few days since her father passed away.
16:47People are coming to offer their condolences.
16:51They'll start asking questions
16:54and blaming me for kicking out my stepdaughter the moment her father died.
17:02Besides,
17:03Ahmed never liked the idea of
17:05his young daughters staying at anyone else's home.
17:09It isn't just anyone's home, Sajda.
17:12It is her aunt's home.
17:14Be that as it may, Sister.
17:17People are coming to pay their condolences to me,
17:20so Noor is staying here.
17:24Aunt,
17:26why is all your sympathy reserved only for her?
17:31Is she your only niece? Don't we mean anything to you?
17:36We lost our dad, too.
17:38We're grieving as well.
17:46Mom, let's just head home now.
18:01I’ll be back for you, my dear.
20:02Did you go to visit Hoor?
20:05Yes.
20:07Every time you come back from visiting her,
20:09you look absolutely miserable.
20:12She died because of me.
20:16I killed her.
20:18No, my son, don't say such things.
20:20Why would you ever kill her?
20:23You loved her so much.
20:28I should have listened to her.
20:34My darling,
20:36try to come back to life.
20:40Seeing you like this must be causing Hoor so much pain, too.
20:44She wanted to see you succeed, didn't she?
20:47She wanted to see you happy.
20:50But you've turned your back on everything.
20:53The charity you started in her name, you're neglecting it.
20:56The business you started in her name,
20:58its shares are plummeting.
21:00Tell me, is this what she would've wanted?
21:11No.
21:15She wanted to see me succeed.
21:19She was ready to do anything for my happiness.
21:23Then,
21:27if she was ready to do anything for your happiness,
21:30why aren't you doing everything for hers?
21:34So what should I do?
21:36You tell me.
21:37What can I possibly do
21:39that would bring her happiness?
21:44You need to get your life back on track.
21:48You need to focus on your business.
21:50You should start going to the office.
21:53That's what will make her happy.
21:59I'm trying.
22:02Slowly and gradually, I'll get there.
22:06Get out of the house, Zulfiqar.
22:08Go back to the office.
22:11You need to focus on the business.
22:16Alright.
22:19Look, you can't just cut yourself off from the world like this.
22:22Maria was also saying that...
22:25Getting back to life does not mean, under any circumstances,
22:29that I'll give Hoor's place to another woman.
22:33That won't happen.
22:37Alright.
22:39Fine.
23:07How could all this happen, Sajda?
23:10Brother Ahmed has also passed away.
23:14Obviously, the poor man couldn't bear the humiliation.
23:17His daughter's wedding procession went back in front of the entire family.
23:22I'm so sorry.
23:24Be patient, what else can I say?
23:28This is all your fault, Naseem.
23:31Oh, please.
23:32If the guy refused at the very last moment,
23:34how is that my fault?
23:37I told you the whole truth from the start.
23:40The guy likes Noor.
23:42Now, what do I know about the games you stepmothers play?
23:45You tried to sabotage your stepdaughter so your own girl could get married,
23:48while she wouldn't let her stepson marry the girl he liked.
23:52When you two stepmothers couldn't even be true mothers,
23:55why are you pointing fingers at me?
23:57You deceived Brother Ahmed.
24:00This is what happens when you deceive people.
24:03If you hadn't done this,
24:04do you think Mehwish wouldn't have gotten married?
24:07She would've found a suitable match.
24:09This is entirely on you.
24:11If you hadn't done that to an orphaned girl,
24:14this fate wouldn't have befallen your own daughter.
24:17Now you can just sit here with your daughter,
24:19whose wedding procession abandoned her,
24:20and keep answering everyone's questions.
24:22Why did this happen?
24:24Why did the wedding procession walk out?
24:27Are you done with your lecture?
24:30Now get up.
24:34I said, get up!
24:38This is all because of you!
24:42If you hadn't arranged this marriage,
24:44we wouldn't be in this mess!
24:46Get out of here,
24:48and don't ever show me your face again.
24:50Sajda, it's because of these antics that you've ended up here.
24:54There's still time, mend your ways.
24:56Hey, just get out of here. Go!
24:58Look who's here to preach to me.
25:01Don't you ever come back here.
25:03Stay out of my sight. Just get out of here!
25:23Sajda shouldn't have done that.
25:25She should've sent Noor with me.
25:29Mom, to be honest,
25:31I think you shouldn't have said all those things.
25:37Noor is a grown-up now.
25:38She knows what's best for her.
25:41Besides, you must've offended Aunt.
25:44If Sajda had treated all her daughters as equals,
25:48I wouldn't have felt the need to speak up.
25:50You're right, Mom.
25:53But Noor can make her own decisions, can't she?
25:56How can she make a decision?
25:59Sajda has always steamrolled her.
26:02One needs to have a stable footing to make a choice,
26:06and we elders provide that stability for children.
26:13Who keeps calling you?
26:15Mom, I had plans to go somewhere with a friend.
26:20I'm running late for it because I had to pick you up,
26:23so he keeps calling to check on me.
26:25Well, pick it up and tell him that then.
26:28Well, sure.
26:33Hello.
26:34Yes, I'm with Mom.
26:36I'll see you right after I drop her off at home.
26:39Yes, sure. Okay, bye.
26:44Do you need to get something on our way home?
26:48Stop it now, my child.
26:50Don't cry like this.
26:54Seeing you in this state only breaks my heart more.
27:03Your dad's death has already left me shattered.
27:11Don't cry, I beg of you. Look, I threw Naseem out.
27:16I kicked her out of here.
27:19This is all your fault, Mom.
27:23After you'd already given Noor's picture to Auntie Naseem for the proposal,
27:27why did you have to arrange Mehwish's marriage instead?
27:33See, the wedding procession left.
27:35The groom refused to marry her in front of the whole gathering.
27:39And my dad.
27:41The grief of this tragedy is what killed him.
27:45Are you seriously blaming me?
27:48I only wanted what was best for her.
27:52I wanted my Mehwish to go to Dubai instead of Noor.
28:01That was my only intention.
28:05How could I have known
28:07that things would go so horribly wrong
28:09and the groom would call off the wedding?
28:12To see my Mehwish, my own daughter, dressed as a bride
28:14and rejected in front of everyone.
28:19Oh God.
28:22Noor, a plague on you.
28:28You witch.
28:29You've destroyed my happy home.
28:34God will hold you accountable, Noor.
28:38Mom.
28:42The women from the neighborhood are here to pay their condolences.
28:47They're asking for you.
28:52Farah, you go and talk to them, dear.
28:54If anyone asks about me,
28:56just say we gave Mom some medicine, and she's settled in for a nap.
28:59I don't have the strength to face anyone.
29:03Noor!
29:05Stop right there.
29:06Where do you think you're going?
29:10Because of you, my wedding was called off.
29:13Dad died because of you as well.
29:16Why didn't you die instead?
29:18It would've been so much better if you had died.
29:26Listen to me.
29:28Just as my wedding procession abandoned me, I curse you.
29:32You'll rot inside this house for the rest of your life.
29:36No one will ever marry you.
29:38No one.
29:42No one will ever marry you.
29:47Why are you still standing here?
29:49Are you standing here just to torment my daughter's heart?
29:52Why don't you just go die somewhere?
29:56-Mom. -Oh, my sweet child.
29:57She'll never be happy.
29:58She'll never find happiness, Mom.
30:01-Please don't cry, my love. -She ruined all my happiness, Mom.
30:05Hush now, my child.
30:13-Good morning, sir. -Good morning, sir.
30:15I feel so bad. They were the perfect couple.
30:18Perhaps someone cursed their love.
30:20He loved his wife dearly.
30:22And look how it ended.
30:24He was driving and survived, while she passed away.
30:28That's why he's been mourning for so long,
30:30consumed by guilt that he killed his wife himself.
30:32How could he kill his wife? He loved her so much.
30:50Dear Lord,
30:54please forgive my mom and dad.
31:00Grant me patience.
31:03Give me strength.
31:09Have mercy on me.
31:19Is your mourning over yet?
31:22Once you're done moping around, get ready.
31:25We're leaving now.
31:27Where are we going?
31:30To Hyderabad, for good.
31:34But this is our home.
31:40So what if it is our home, huh?
31:43Should we preserve it like a museum?
31:45Your dad isn't alive anymore.
31:49He's gone, leaving us all alone.
31:51There's no man left to look after us now.
31:55How will I stay here alone with three young daughters?
32:00Do you have an answer for that?
32:04When you don't have an answer, don't ask questions.
32:08Come on, get ready.
32:11We need to leave before it gets dark.
32:14Khurram is coming to pick us up.
32:21This house is ours,
32:23but your dad had taken it on a long-term lease.
32:27We can live here, but we can't sell it.
32:32Mehwish, do you have any belongings left in here?
32:39Get up, Your Highness.
32:42I told you we have to leave before sunset.
33:07How could Sajda suddenly plan to move to Hyderabad for good?
33:14She didn't even mention it to me.
33:17Aunt, she just told me about it, too.
33:20Aunt, I won't go to Hyderabad.
33:22I can't stand Mom's relatives.
33:25I'm not going there,
33:29and it'll also affect my studies.
33:32My exams are about to start.
33:35How will I sit for them?
33:37Noor, I'll find a way, dear.
33:41I'll talk to Sajda.
33:44No, Aunt.
33:46There's no use talking to Mom.
33:49Please come here right now and talk some sense into her.
33:53Alright, Noor. Don't worry, dear.
33:57I'll come and talk to her.
34:00Please come quickly, Aunt.
34:46-Noor. -Who is it?
34:48Brother Khurram? You?
34:49How are you, Noor?
34:51I'm fine.
34:53I've come all this way to get you,
34:56and you won't even talk to me?
34:58I'm seeing you after ages.
35:01I'm so sorry to hear about Uncle's death.
35:04I was actually in Murree with my friends.
35:08That's why I couldn't even make it to the funeral.
35:17Noor.
35:20Noor, you...
35:21Something must be burning in the kitchen.
35:33Where is she running off to?
35:39She hasn't even packed yet.
35:41I don't know.
35:42She just said something was burning in the kitchen and left.
35:48Anyway, Aunt,
35:50once you're in Hyderabad,
35:52will you talk to Dad about my marriage to Noor?
35:54And convince Noor to agree.
35:57Hey, keep it down.
35:59What if she hears you?
36:01Yes.
36:02I'll go to Hyderabad and talk to your dad.
36:06But don't say anything about it here.
36:09I want to wash my hands of this girl myself.
36:12I mean, I want Noor to marry you.
36:16But she shouldn't hear a word of this for now.
36:20I haven't said anything to her.
36:23I don't want her aunt to find out and stop us from leaving.
36:28Do you understand or not?
36:29Yes, Aunt.
36:30I understand,
36:32but promise me you'll arrange my marriage with Noor.
36:55Hello.
36:57What's up?
36:58Did you order anything?
37:02What's the matter?
37:03Why do you always ignore me so much?
37:07I'm not ignoring you, baby.
37:10My uncle passed away.
37:14He didn't have a son.
37:16So I have to handle everything.
37:18Tell me, is that my fault too?
37:22I understand you have responsibilities,
37:25and I know it's a difficult time, but why shut me out like this?
37:28I could never ignore you, baby. Please don't say that.
37:33That's why I've come to see you today.
37:35I specifically set aside time for you.
37:39Your mom's calling again.
37:41You know what, just turn your phone off
37:44when you come to meet me.
37:45Alright, I get it. Please, it's Mom's call. Just let me answer it.
37:47Don't say anything from the background.
37:51Hello?
37:52Greetings, Mom.
37:54Salar, where are you right now?
37:55I'm with a friend, Mom. Why? What happened?
38:00Come home right now and take me to Noor's place.
38:03Noor's place?
38:05But Mom, you just got back yesterday.
38:08Why do you need to go again?
38:10All of a sudden, Sajda is taking the girls and moving to Hyderabad for good,
38:15and she didn't even bother to tell me.
38:17Noor doesn't want to go.
38:19That's why it's very important for me to go there.
38:21Mom, if Aunt is forcing her to go to Hyderabad,
38:26what can I do about it?
38:27It’s not like I’m going to swoop in and rescue her.
38:30Mom, I have an idea.
38:31Why don’t you call Dad?
38:33She’ll definitely listen to Dad.
38:36You really think I haven’t tried that already?
38:38He’s not answering his phone. I left him a message.
38:40He’ll come as soon as he sees it.
38:43Come on, leave already. Why haven’t you left yet?
38:47Okay, Mom. I’m coming.
38:52Get home immediately!
38:53Yes, I’m on my way.
38:56Bye.
