Full transcript
0:38You were right, Hoor.
0:42I couldn't protect you.
0:49I failed to keep you safe.
1:11So, what news do you have from Mehwish's in-laws?
1:14What's to tell?
1:16I've already arranged for both families to set the wedding date.
1:18The rest is up to you.
1:20I see. Then why did you come over?
1:23I had some other business here.
1:25Anyway, tell me,
1:25are the wedding preparations done?
1:28They're underway.
1:30Did you make sure to tell Bilal's family
1:32that we won't be giving a dowry?
1:34Yes, I told them.
1:35They're not greedy people at all.
1:37They're very decent.
1:39Besides,
1:40since Bilal is taking her to Dubai with him,
1:42what's there to worry about?
1:44You can just give them cash instead.
1:46Yes, you're right.
1:48That's exactly what we'll do.
1:50Good.
1:50Now, what about my fee?
1:52Your fee?
1:54What do you mean?
1:55Won't you pay me?
1:57Did you expect me to do all this work for free?
1:59No, no, of course I'll pay you.
2:01How much would it be?
2:02About seven or eight thousand rupees, right?
2:03You know what, I'll give you a full ten thousand.
2:05Are you serious?
2:07Have you seen the price of things lately?
2:08My minimum fee is fifty thousand rupees,
2:11but since this is a match from Dubai,
2:13I won’t take less than a hundred thousand rupees.
2:17For God's sake, Naseem.
2:18Why are you trying to rob me blind?
2:20It's not like the boy works in a gold mine.
2:23Hey, you have no idea.
2:26People find their own matches on social media apps these days.
2:29Matchmakers like me are in very high demand.
2:31At least have some consideration for us being neighbors.
2:35Are you really going to fleece your own neighbor?
2:38Alright, fine.
2:40How about this, if not fifty thousand,
2:41just give me thirty-five thousand rupees.
2:45No, that's still way too much.
2:47Tell you what, just take fifteen thousand.
2:50What's the matter with you?
2:51I'm not taking a rupee less than thirty-five thousand.
2:53If you want this wedding to go through, pay up.
2:55Otherwise, on this same date,
2:56I'll find another girl for the boy and have them married.
2:58People call me the great Naseem for a reason.
3:00Alright, alright, don't get so worked up.
3:02I'll get you the money.
3:04Have a seat, please. Just sit, I'll be right back with the cash.
3:07Yes, go get the money,
3:08and bring back something to eat while you're at it.
3:09Of course, right away.
3:13Like I’d ever give up my fee.
3:29Brother! Brother, wait up!
3:31Morning.
3:32Morning.
3:32Brother, the driver's off today.
3:34Could you drop me off at the university, please?
3:36Sure. Let's go.
3:37First, we eat. Come on, let's have breakfast.
3:40So, what have you decided?
3:43About what?
3:45About Maria.
3:52When I've already refused,
3:55why do you keep bringing this up?
3:58Your refusal is worthless.
4:01You know very well
4:04that what I want is going to happen whether you like it or not.
4:06And you know
4:09that no matter how hard you push me,
4:12I'll never agree to this.
4:16You had a reason before.
4:18It was Hoor.
4:21But she's dead now,
4:23so you have no reason left.
4:26You'll have to get married again sooner or later.
4:31So, why not Maria?
4:32She's quite fond of you.
4:33Her feelings are irrelevant to me.
4:39And who told you I'm getting married again?
4:42Hoor was my wife,
4:44and she always will be.
4:47I won't give her place to anyone.
4:49So it would be best if you never brought this up with me again.
4:54Don't be ridiculous.
5:01Dad, perhaps you should just go back to your other wife in America.
5:05You'll stay right there.
5:08Don't ever come back here and interfere in our lives.
5:11Behave yourself.
5:12Well, I have nothing to say to you either.
5:15Let's go, Shiza.
5:17At least have breakfast first.
5:17No, Mom.
5:19As long as he's in this house,
5:22not a single crumb of its food or drop of its water will touch my lips.
5:27What?
5:31Look at him.
5:33He's completely out of line now.
5:36What a stupid guy.
5:53Did you get the notes?
5:55I'm almost at the university. I'll be there in about fifteen minutes.
5:59Alright, see you then. Goodbye.
6:05Brother,
6:07I really don't like the person you've become.
6:11What? You think I've changed?
6:13A lot.
6:15Ever since Hoor passed, you're practically unrecognizable.
6:18The way you used to laugh and talk,
6:21it's like you've completely forgotten how to be yourself.
6:24It doesn't even feel like you're my brother, Zulfiqar Shah, anymore.
6:35Ever since Hoor left,
6:39I can't even recognize myself anymore.
6:44It feels as if I left this world right along with her.
6:47Brother, please, don't say that.
6:50Hoor was so full of life.
6:53All she ever wanted was to see you happy.
6:56That's why she always listened to you, no matter what.
6:58Maybe that's the very reason I can't seem to forget her.
7:01Can I suggest something?
7:04Please, don't get upset.
7:06Say it.
7:09Why don't you consider getting married again?
7:14That way, this whole chapter with Maria will finally be closed.
7:17I can never give Hoor’s place to anyone else,
7:21not Maria, not anyone.
7:23-But, Brother, you need to... -That's enough.
7:25End of discussion.
7:46Do it like this?
7:47Yes.
7:48Alright, stop.
7:49Hey, take her pictures first.
7:52Of course, whatever Mom says. Anything to make her happy.
7:54-Okay, now like this. -Mom, go on. Sit next to her.
7:56Yes, take one like this. Just me and her.
7:58Alright, now one like this.
7:59-Mom, selfies capture the shot better. -Greetings.
8:00Greetings.
8:02How are you?
8:03I'm well, thank you.
8:04You look absolutely beautiful.
8:06As stunning as your mother and a natural at everything you do.
8:08Mom, pose like this.
8:09Yes, yes, keep taking pictures.
8:10Greetings. How are you?
8:13Come, come, please sit. Sit, please.
8:15Take all the pictures you want. Be done fast, though!
8:17Come on, everyone. Aunt, how are you?
8:19-Greetings. -Greetings.
8:20Aisha didn't come?
8:22Oh.
8:23Why are you just standing there?
8:24Go and get the tray with the turmeric paste and oil,
8:27and take it to Mehwish.
8:27-Sure. -Come back here.
8:30Why have you caked on so much makeup?
8:33You even have your hair all done up.
8:35It's not that much.
8:36If you look in the mirror,
8:38you'll see you look like a complete clown.
8:41Go and wash your face. Go on.
8:43Excuse me?
8:44I said, go wash your face.
8:48Oh, and while you're at it, tie this hair of yours back.
8:52Are you here to help, or to fuss over your hair all day? Go.
9:02Greetings.
9:04How are you?
9:04Come on in, please. Here, this way.
9:06Please, have a seat. Sit, please. Please, sit.
9:12If you look in the mirror,
9:14you'll see that you look like a complete clown.
9:18Oh, and while you're at it, tie this hair of yours back.
9:20Are you here to help, or to fuss over your hair all day? Go.
11:18Wow.
11:20This looks incredible, Ahmed.
11:23Greetings.
11:24Greetings. How are you?
11:27Greetings, Aunt.
11:29Oh, there you are. Why aren't you ready yet, sweetheart?
11:32Well, Aunt, I've just been so caught up with all the arrangements.
11:36But sweetheart, you were ready just a little while ago.
11:38You had your hair done so nicely and everything.
11:40Here, look at me.
11:43If you were all ready,
11:45then why don't you look the part?
11:48Well, Aunt,
11:49I was having an allergic reaction,
11:50so I took off my makeup.
11:52I'm not really used to wearing so much, you know?
11:54Plus, look, I'm sweating buckets. It's so hot.
11:59I'll just go let Mom know you're here.
12:00She's waiting to start the ceremony.
12:06Look at how lovely Farah and Mehwish are looking,
12:12but Sajda's step-motherly treatment towards Noor is plain as day.
12:18You two tell me,
12:20doesn't my Mehwish look gorgeous in this embroidered outfit?
12:24I was exhausted trying to convince her, but she just wouldn't listen.
12:26I told her the whole embroidered look was out of style,
12:28and we should wear something else.
12:30But since Mom made me wear it,
12:31of course, it's going to look good.
12:32We can't really look bad in anything, can we?
12:33We're just naturally that cute.
12:35See?
12:36We're looking so pretty.
12:39Mom, Aunt has arrived. Let's start the ceremony.
12:44Alright, everyone, time for pictures.
12:51Oh, Sister!
12:52You're here. Greetings, Sister.
12:54Congratulations to you, too.
12:56Look, doesn't everything look wonderful?
12:58This is all thanks to you.
13:01Here, please wear these floral bracelets.
13:03Come on.
13:04Let's start the ceremony. We were just waiting for you.
13:06Come on, everyone, gather around.
15:54Noor.
15:56Why don't you join us?
15:57Aunt, I have to go check on the kitchen,
16:00and then I need to make the beds.
16:02I'll come sit with you once I'm done.
16:03Sajda.
16:04Yes?
16:05Tell Farah to go help her.
16:07Oh, don't worry, Sister.
16:09She'll take care of it. My Noor is enough to handle everything.
16:11Besides, the girls are busy singing
16:13and playing the drums. Let them enjoy.
16:14Come on, louder.
16:16It's okay, Aunt. I'll take care of it myself.
16:18Don't worry at all.
16:19Hey, listen.
16:21Ask Salar if he wants some tea. He's sitting outside.
17:13You've been ignoring me ever since your cousin's wedding started.
17:17Look, I'm stuck here.
17:20I only came because Mom insisted.
17:22But now that I'm here, I realize coming was a huge mistake.
17:28Hey, come on.
17:31Arooshma, why can't you ever understand?
17:34These mosquitoes are making my life miserable here,
17:35and you're just going on and on there.
17:39You're right.
17:40The mosquitoes are quite bad here.
17:43I've brought your tea.
17:45I don't drink tea.
17:47Please take it back.
17:49Hello?
17:56Isn't she the same girl
17:57who was playing Cinderella at your party the other day?
18:00Yeah, that's her.
18:01Tell me something.
18:03Does their house have no staff
18:05who can bring you tea at this hour?
18:08Why is she the one bringing it to you so late at night?
18:12What's wrong with you, Arooshma?
18:14They probably don't have servants.
18:16They do all their own work.
18:19So, Noor does everything herself?
18:21Is it so she can spend time with you?
18:24What?
18:25Are you kidding me?
18:27How could you even think that?
18:29I stepped away from the entire event just to talk to you,
18:31and you're saying I'm with her?
18:32I don't even like her. I don't even talk to her.
18:36Fine.
18:37And what if you did like her?
18:40Would you keep talking to her then?
18:41Oh God, Arooshma!
18:43Stop being so difficult, man.
18:45Why are you even saying such things?
18:46You're talking nonsense.
18:49I brought a mosquito coil.
18:50This will keep them away.
18:51I'll just leave it here
18:52so you can continue your conversation while sitting in here.
18:54Listen,
18:55I don't care about the mosquitoes,
18:58but I'm allergic to the smell of these coils.
19:01Please keep it somewhere far away.
19:02I don't want to be near it.
19:05Hello?
19:06I'm sorry. I didn't know you were allergic.
19:10Fine, just forget about it.
19:11Just leave it over there and go.
19:12Thank you. Bye.
19:15Excuse me.
19:16Let's talk later.
19:18I think you're really busy.
19:20Bye.
19:22Hello?
19:23Hello?
19:25Arooshma?
20:30Oh, come on. Don't be mad. Come here.
20:32-No. -Please, wear this.
20:33You're leaving for Islamabad to attend your cousin's wedding
20:37while our celebration means nothing to you.
20:39What am I supposed to do?
20:40The entire family is heading to Islamabad.
20:42I was dying to attend Mehwish's wedding ceremony
20:44and get a look at the groom myself before I left.
20:46Here, put this on now.
20:50You're just standing around gossiping with your friend?
20:53The kitchen is a complete mess. Go and tidy it up.
20:55Please, ask Farah to do it.
20:57She hasn't lifted a finger all morning.
20:59Poor Noor hasn't even had a bite to eat yet.
21:01Why are you sticking your nose in?
21:03I'm her mother, aren't I?
21:04Don't you dare get in the middle of this again. Understood?
21:11And you, go and clean the kitchen.
21:14Of course.
21:15Oh, and your dad isn't feeling well.
21:18He's exhausted and is aching all over.
21:21Make him some tea and give him some medicine as well.
21:22Go on.
21:24Alright.
21:30As for you,
21:31don't go filling my daughter's head with nonsense.
21:35You're a guest here, so try to act like one.
21:38Go and sit with the other guests.
21:54For God's sake, Arooshma.
21:56Why does she get so upset over the tiniest things?
21:59She's not picking up, and on top of that, there's no signal here.
22:03This is exactly why I avoid places like this.
22:10Mom's not even coming out yet, either.
22:19Hey, careful. What the hell?
22:22This is just ridiculous.
22:23Why are you blocking my way? What's your problem?
22:27Where are you off to?
22:29That's none of your business.
22:31I'm asking because I'm worried about you.
22:33Oh, you're worried about me, are you?
22:35Then do me a favor.
22:37Go inside, find Mom, and please tell her I've been trying to call her
22:40because I want to go home.
22:41What's the hurry, Salar?
22:44You're here after so long.
22:46I haven't even had a proper look at you yet.
22:49It was a mistake coming here.
22:50A huge mistake. I won't be making it again.
22:54What mistake, Salar?
22:56If there's a problem, tell me.
22:57Hey, you can't solve my problems.
23:01If you really want to help,
23:04then please, go inside.
23:05Tell Mom I'm waiting because I want to go home.
23:08Salar, what's the rush? Stay a while. You can leave later.
23:17This is not the place to be holding my hand.
23:22Why are you holding my hand here like this?
23:24Oh, really?
23:26And you don't know why?
23:30Oh no, of course.
23:33I know your type perfectly well.
23:37I'm a seasoned player in this game.
23:41The thing is,
23:43I'm not really interested in playing out in the open, in a place like this.
23:53I love you.
23:56Right.
23:58I've heard that line a million times.
24:00So many girls say that.
24:03Girls just say it,
24:06but I really mean it when I say I love you.
24:08Really?
24:09Yes.
24:20Well, shall we?
24:22Where?
24:22Inside.
24:24We have the perfect opportunity today. The occasion is just right.
24:26All the guests are inside.
24:28Let's go to Uncle and declare your undying love for me in front of him.
24:33Oh,
24:35you've shattered my heart, Farah.
24:37Is that how deep your love for me runs?
24:40I guess not deep enough,
24:41because the moment I suggest you declare your love for me openly,
24:43all the fight just drains right out of you, doesn't it?
24:48Seriously.
24:49Very, very interesting.
24:54Do you even know
24:56why I've been away for so long, like you were just whining about?
25:00You want to know the reason for that?
25:04Do you know why?
25:08It's because I can't stand middle-class people.
25:14These middle-class families are such hypocrites.
25:21Two-faced.
25:25They say one thing, but always do another.
25:28They want things they'd never have the guts to ask for.
25:33That's why I keep my distance,
25:43and whatever you're trying to pull right now, don't.
25:50Because the only people I respect are those
25:53who commit to something and see it through.
25:59Right now, there's nothing you can do for me.
26:02Although the only thing you can really do is to go and get Mom for me.
26:07Go. Go on, hurry up and bring her out.
26:11What's wrong with you?
26:14What did you just do?
26:17Apologize to her.
26:19I have no idea what sort of middle-class girls you're used to,
26:22but that's not who we are.
26:24That's my younger sister.
26:26Apologize to her, now.
26:27An apology?
26:29Are you serious?
26:31So much anger.
26:33Was that really necessary, Noor?
26:35It is necessary.
26:37You were incredibly rude to my sister.
26:39Noor, just leave.
26:41Go on, get back to what you were doing.
26:42This is a personal matter.
26:44-But Farah, he was so rude to you. -So what if he was?
26:47I'm telling you to go inside,
26:49and don't you dare interfere between us again.
26:52Do you understand?
26:54Farah. Farah, please, just listen to me.
26:56Calm down.
26:58But that was completely out of line.
26:59Noor shouldn't have jumped in like that.
27:01She accuses me of insulting you when in reality,
27:03she's the one insulting me in her own home.
27:07You shouldn't have done that, Noor.
27:09Besides, I was just joking with you.
27:12I was only testing you to see how you'd react if I were a little rude.
27:16I was just about to reveal the joke to her.
27:17It was meant to be a special moment,
27:19but she just ruined it.
27:22Listen, you look stunning tonight.
27:25I've never seen you look this beautiful before.
27:28I was thinking that you're the one who looks like the bride tonight.
27:34What man wouldn't want to talk to a woman as charming as you?
27:38But, it's just...
27:42Why are you standing here gawking?
27:44Go inside and get back to your work.
27:46And listen, since you're heading in,
27:48could you tell Mom I'm waiting for her out here? Please.
27:51Go.
28:13What's the matter, Ahmed? Aren't you feeling well?
28:16It's nothing, Sister. Just a splitting headache.
28:19Dad's been running around doing everything himself
28:20since the wedding started, Aunt.
28:22He hasn't taken a moment's rest.
28:24That's why he's feeling so under the weather.
28:26You're absolutely right.
28:28Oh my goodness, Ahmed, you're burning up.
28:32Ahmed, get up. Come on,
28:34I'm taking you to the doctor. Get up now.
28:35Sister, it's just a slight fever. I'll take a pill, and I'll be fine.
28:39No, Dad. Aunt is right.
28:41You shouldn't be self-medicating.
28:43Let's just go to the doctor, you'll feel better much faster.
28:45It's nothing, don't worry.
28:47It doesn’t look right to run to the doctor during a wedding.
28:51You're already tired as it is. Go, get some rest. Go on.
28:54How can I possibly do that?
28:56Just go rest while you're sitting here with a fever?
28:58Don't be ridiculous.
29:00Alright, dear, we'll see in the morning.
29:02I just don't have the energy right now.
29:03Just get me some medicine with a cup of tea,
29:05and I'll lie down for a bit, that's all.
29:08Ahmed, you've always been this stubborn.
29:10You'll get better sooner if you just see a doctor.
29:13You have your daughter's wedding to take care of, for heaven's sake.
29:15He's not going to listen.
29:17Noor, can you bring some cold water?
29:21I'll make some compresses for him.
29:22If your fever doesn't come down after that,
29:24then you're going to the doctor with me.
29:27Noor, honey, why are you so worried?
29:29Just get the water.
29:30We'll use compresses, and he'll be just fine.
29:32Go on now.
29:33-Go on, go. -Go on, sweetie.
29:38I'm serious.
29:40You're not taking care of yourself at all.
29:41-Let's go, up you get. Stand up. -Oh, Sister.
29:43Please lie down on the bed.
29:44You've been stubborn about taking medicine or seeing a doctor
29:45since you were just a little boy.
29:47Alright, I'll just sit here for a while.
29:50Please, just lie down.
29:52-Hey, slow down, Farah. -I just can't wait to tell you.
29:53-I'm going to fall. -You know, I'm just so happy today.
29:57Do you know that Salar talked to me for so long today?
30:00He talked so much that I can't even begin to tell you.
30:02Seriously?
30:03Yes.
30:04It feels like Salar really cares for me.
30:07He truly loves me.
30:09Well, that's wonderful news.
30:11Your dream has finally come true.
30:13Now Mom will surely find a way to get you married to Brother Salar.
30:18Oh God, I really hope that happens. Amen.
30:22But what will become of me?
30:24Why? What's wrong with you?
30:26I've never even seen my fiancé.
30:29I've never even spoken to him on the phone.
30:31Farah, I had so many dreams.
30:34I wanted to go out with him, go on dinner dates,
30:37and enjoy delicious food.
30:38All my dreams have been shattered.
30:40Nothing like that happened.
30:42It's okay.
30:43Now that you're getting married, you can go to the Burj Khalifa.
30:45You can eat out, have fun, and enjoy your honeymoon.
30:48You're crazy.
30:50Seriously, I've taken so many pictures of you since this morning.
30:53Where's my phone?
30:54You should take some pictures of me too.
30:54Alright, fine. Go and get your phone, and I'll take them. I'm not saying no.
31:00I'll go get it.
31:14Thank goodness.
31:16Your fever finally seems to be going down.
31:35Hello?
31:38I can't get any signal.
31:40Let me see what Salar is up to.
31:43You stay here and take care of Ahmed.
31:45-Of course. -I'll be right back.
31:46Alright.
32:02What's the matter, Dad? Does this hand hurt?
32:04Yes, sweetie.
32:06That's enough, dear.
32:08You've been working endlessly since morning.
32:09You'll exhaust yourself. Get some rest now.
32:12I'll rest eventually.
32:14I just want your fever to break.
32:17Once you're better, I'll be at peace too.
32:19I've taken the medicine.
32:20The fever will break soon, so don't worry.
32:23Alright, fine.
32:25I'll sit with you for a little while, and then I'll go.
32:31Hold on, let me sit straight up.
32:34That's enough now, sweetie. No need for more.
32:40No matter how much you love me,
32:45I could never give you that same love in return, dear.
32:50It's nothing like that, Dad.
32:52I know you love me very much, too.
32:57Your mother passed away when you were just a baby.
33:00She was wrong to do that.
33:02She shouldn't have left.
33:06She left me with such a huge responsibility of raising you on my own
33:08that I haven't been able to fulfill properly, dear.
33:12Sajda keeps behaving like a typical stepmother.
33:16I know everything, dear.
33:18But what can I do?
33:21To keep the peace at home,
33:23I often have to stay quiet and endure the injustices done to you.
33:29What are you even saying, Dad?
33:33I know everything.
33:36Have I ever complained to you?
33:40I'm aware of it all,
33:42and that's why I don't tell you anything.
33:43I don't want to ruin the atmosphere at home either.
33:51I know.
33:52I know you're a good daughter.
33:56I'm at fault here.
33:59If you can, please forgive me.
34:02God willing, a very good proposal will come for you, you'll see.
34:08Why are you talking like this, Dad?
34:11Why are you asking for my forgiveness?
34:14I have no complaints against you.
34:17Please don't talk like this, it makes me so anxious.
34:20What's wrong with you?
34:23I owe you an apology, dear.
34:26I couldn’t make sure you had the place in this family
34:30that you truly deserved.
34:32You didn't receive the love you truly deserved, dear.
34:38I don't want anything, Dad. Nothing at all.
34:41I just want your blessing and you by my side, Dad.
34:46Just stay happy, my child.
34:48Always be happy.
34:56Enough. Now you won't say another word about this.
34:59I'm not going anywhere.
35:00I’m not ever going to get married and just leave you.
35:03I'll stay right here with you.
35:18Please.
35:32Oh, Salar? How are you, son?
35:34Are you looking for your mother?
35:36Yes.
35:38I’m doing fine. How about you?
35:39There comes your mom.
35:43I’ve been calling you for ages.
35:44Why weren’t you answering my calls?
35:47Let’s get out of here.
35:48-I can’t stay here any longer. -What’s the matter, son?
35:50What do you think?
35:51I’m only here because you insisted.
35:54I’ve shown my face, and that’s that.
35:55Now let’s go home.
35:57At least tell me what’s wrong.
35:59Nothing’s really wrong, Mom!
36:00You’re in here celebrating the ceremony with the women,
36:03watching them sing and dance, while I’m stuck with those guys.
36:07-Salar, keep it down. -They’re so boring!
36:09Not a single man out there is even remotely on my intellectual level,
36:12let alone worth talking to.
36:13I went to sit outside in the courtyard just for your sake
36:16so you could enjoy your time,
36:18but the mosquitoes have practically eaten me alive.
36:20If I end up with malaria, it’s going to be your fault!
36:22Salar, what’s wrong with you?
36:24Relatives come from all different backgrounds.
36:26You need to learn to mingle and adjust.
36:28For heaven’s sake, please don’t start.
36:30I’m begging you.
36:32Spare me the lecture right now.
36:34I did exactly as you asked, didn’t I?
36:36Please, Mom, I’m exhausted.
36:38I need to go home and get some sleep.
36:39I really need my beauty sleep. Please.
36:41Fine.
36:42If you’re so set on leaving, then go.
36:44-Alright. -I’m staying here tonight.
36:46Ahmed is really sick.
36:48He’s running a high fever
36:50and might even need to be taken to the hospital.
36:52Well, would you look at that. How inconsiderate of your brother.
36:55He falls ill right at his own daughter’s pre-wedding ceremony,
36:57leaving us to fend for ourselves while he’s just lying in there.
36:58Quiet!
37:00Go on. If you want to leave, fine. But see your uncle before you go.
37:03And after that, can I go home?
37:05-Yes, you can. Now come on. -Fine, but please hurry up.
37:08Sister?
37:13Where have you been?
37:16Everyone’s been asking about you.
37:18Come on, let’s go.
37:21Sajda, maybe you’ve forgotten that Ahmed is ill.
37:25You didn’t even bother to check on him.
37:28Noor and I have been by his side,
37:30applying cold compresses to his head.
37:31He’s running a high fever.
37:33Lord, have mercy.
37:35Alright, Sister.
37:36You stay with Ahmed, but at least send Noor.
37:39She could use a change of pace.
37:41Besides, she needs to prepare breakfast tomorrow
37:43since we have so many guests in the house.
37:45Don’t worry about that.
37:46I’ll take care of all the breakfast arrangements.
37:49Thank you so much, Sister.
37:51It’s only because of your kindness
37:53that everything has become so much easier for me.
37:55I meant to ask.
37:57If you had brought your house help with you,
37:59it would have been much easier for us and Noor.
38:01She could’ve handled all the chores. Oh well, what’s done is done.
38:03You go on and check on him. Yes, what is it?
38:05Look, there’s the bedding. Didn’t Noor give it to you?
38:08Have patience.
38:12Dad, that’s enough talk for now. Just focus on getting better soon.
38:18Come on in, Salar.
38:19Come on.
38:21Greetings, Uncle.
38:23What happened?
38:24Mom told me your health took a turn for the worse.
38:26If you’re feeling really bad, we know an excellent doctor.
38:29I can take you to him for a checkup right now.
38:32No, that won’t be necessary, son.
38:34Yes, his fever has finally started to subside.
38:37In that case, I’ll take off. What am I even going to do here?
38:42Ahmed, I’m staying here tonight,
38:46but Salar wants to go home.
38:47You see, he has to get to the factory in the morning and has a lot on his plate,
38:51but he’ll be back on time for the ceremony.
38:53Uncle, it’s a very important meeting.
38:55If it weren’t for that, I would’ve stayed.
38:56But I’ll be back tomorrow on time, Mom.
39:00You may go, son.
39:01-I’m heading off, Mom. Goodbye. -Okay.
39:03-Goodbye. -Goodbye.
39:05Hey, Salar! Listen, I…
