0:16Zeb, darling, tell me something.
0:17How did you find our small, humble city?
0:20Did you enjoy exploring it?
0:21Oh, I enjoyed it more than words can say.
0:25Sukkur is stunning, and I truly had no idea.
0:28Mom, she's lying.
0:30She's seen the whole world.
0:33Do you really think she'd care for our Sukkur?
0:35Excuse me?
0:36I don't tell lies.
0:37Honestly, Aunt,
0:39this place is wonderful.
0:41It's so unspoiled.
0:41The people here are so simple,
0:44and everything is just beautiful.
0:46No doubt, I've traveled far and wide
0:48and seen so many countries,
0:49but the simplicity here is something else.
0:51You don't find fields in the middle of a city, do you?
0:53Well, I saw them here, and I loved it.
0:56Oh, my dear, you've yet to see the real life here.
0:59Between the Eids, the festivals,
1:01the local fairs, and the weddings,
1:04things get so lively. We have such fun.
1:06You'll love it here.
1:07A wedding?
1:09Who's getting married, and when?
1:11I'd love to see one.
1:13Oh, you will soon, dear.
1:14Zawar and Mariam will get married in due course.
1:25Zawar will look so hilarious as a groom.
1:29You can see for yourself when the time comes.
1:52What are you thinking about, Brother Behzad?
1:55I'm wondering how Paras is getting on,
1:58and how she's coping.
2:00She isn't used to living in surroundings like that.
2:03I'd wager she's actually enjoying it.
2:06You know how much she loves discovering new things.
2:10You're worrying for nothing.
2:12She's probably busy exploring a whole new world out there.
2:18Perhaps, but living among strangers is never easy.
2:22Brother Behzad, didn't you say
2:24Zawar's father was your closest friend in childhood?
2:27If so, why worry?
2:33He has no idea Paras is my daughter.
2:40If he found out, he might not want her anywhere near him.
2:46Why not?
2:50He's angry with me.
2:54I fear that anger may have hardened into hatred by now.
2:58Even after Zawar and I crossed paths, I never reached out to him.
3:06It's a strange bind.
3:11When he discovers I hired his son purely to keep my daughter safe,
3:17he'll probably be furious and take offense.
3:21Honestly, I was helpless too.
3:25No one could protect Paras better than Zawar.
3:30Even if I spent millions on her security,
3:34only Zawar would risk his life for Paras.
3:41He's the son of a brave man.
3:45If this isn't selfishness, I don't know what is.
3:49To save my daughter's life, I've put his son's on the line.
3:56He's bound to be furious once he learns the truth.
4:03What was the falling out about, anyway?
4:08Oh, the bitterness of it...
4:14he was always trying to hold me back.
4:19He told me not to chase money,
4:25he wanted us to stay together.
4:29He wanted us to study, then give back to our village and our people.
4:36But I wanted to be rich.
4:44I wanted power.
4:48I wanted to be feared.
4:53In the end, both our dreams came true.
4:58His, and mine.
5:00But truthfully,
5:03it feels like I'm the one who lost.
5:07In my hunger for wealth,
5:11I lost my own loved ones.
5:15Saleha. Aijaz.
5:20Today I have everything,
5:25yet my hands are empty.
5:28That's not true.
5:30You've been fortunate to always have sincere people at your side.
5:34If not your friend, then his son.
5:40Yes, indeed.
5:42Running into Zawar was quite a surprise for me.
5:46Indeed.
5:48I'm surprised as well, truly.
5:50Who knew a friend could be so loyal?
5:53Even if he couldn't be here himself, his son stands with you.
5:59Honestly, Mahrukh, it's a blessing.
6:04It feels like some kind of miracle.
6:10Then why don't you go and see your friend one day?
6:16How can I?
6:19I'm tangled up in so much trouble, with so many enemies.
6:23Let me first deal with the ones
6:25who forced me to send my daughter away,
6:29then I'll see.
6:31Brother Behzad, I'm worried.
6:35None of this is as simple as it looks.
6:39Paras may be safe for now,
6:43but if a single person catches wind of it,
6:47you'll be in deep trouble,
6:50and Zawar is gone as well.
6:54Even though he's gone, Zawar is still with me,
6:57and I have Ghaznavi too.
7:00He's been a great help.
7:03Didn't he have a falling out with you?
7:07I just couldn't understand his plight at the time.
7:11But now he's on my side.
7:17By the way, Brother Behzad,
7:19Shaheen hasn't gone home since then.
7:23Yes, she's realized Nadeem was a poor choice.
7:31Do you know, Mahrukh?
7:34When a wolf gets into a flock of sheep,
7:40not one of them survives.
7:45Nadeem was that wolf in our flock.
7:50My only regret is that I saw it far too late.
7:58Otherwise, I’d have finished him long ago.
8:28Why am I feeling this way about Zawar?
8:31Why do I like having him around me
8:34and watching me?
8:37Before, his presence used to annoy me so much.
8:40But now, his absence makes me restless.
8:44It feels so good when he is around.
8:47And nothing feels right when he is not here.
8:50Have I started liking him?
8:54I mean...
8:55love?
9:53Oh no, please don’t say that.
9:54There’s no reason for any delay now.
9:57My surgery went well, and I’m feeling perfectly fine.
10:02Mariam already belongs to your family.
10:04You can come and take her as your bride whenever you wish.
10:09Okay, take care.
10:10Goodbye.
10:12Uncle Abdul is here to see you.
10:14I see.
10:15Take this away. I’ll go see him.
10:22You're unbelievable.
10:24You didn't even tell me.
10:26You never asked me.
10:27Oh, my mistake, is it?
10:32When did you get engaged?
10:34It's been three years.
10:36Three years?
10:38Why did you put off the wedding for so long?
10:40Dad wanted Brother and me to have a joint wedding.
10:47But Brother has no time.
10:50Adil went abroad as well,
10:52and he only came back six months ago.
10:57Come on, Aijaz. You’re too much.
11:00Oh, you’re no less, Abdul.
11:03Saleema and I were actually planning to come and visit you.
11:09Is that so?
11:10How about this?
11:11We leave right away,
11:12and you come to our place instead once we do.
11:13Come on, let’s sit inside.
11:26Anyway, Aijaz, what made you decide to pay us a visit?
11:35Well, I got a call from Mariam’s in-laws.
11:39They were asking to set a date for the wedding.
11:45That’s wonderful news.
11:47Congratulations.
11:48Congratulations.
11:49The same to you,
11:51and I think it’s about time Zawar settled down as well.
11:56He’s been roaming about far too much.
12:02You know, your home has such a beautiful and warm atmosphere.
12:04It feels so friendly and cozy.
12:16Pick up the phone, Wahab Durrani.
12:19I’m in this mess because of you.
12:26How am I to convince everyone
12:29I had nothing to do with Paras’s murder?
12:32I didn’t help him.
12:35I wasn’t an accomplice at all.
12:37How do I make everyone understand?
12:39I should just run away,
12:42but then they’ll take it as proof of my guilt.
12:47It doesn’t matter.
12:48If I get out of this alive, I’ll explain
12:51that you were wrong about me.
12:53I made a terrible mistake, Wahab Durrani.
12:57I made a terrible mistake throwing in my lot with you.
13:03My passport…
13:05where’s my passport?
13:15To be honest, Aijaz,
13:19we came here with the very same thing in mind.
13:23But it felt a little awkward to raise my daughter’s proposal myself.
13:29Why speak like a stranger, Abdul?
13:32I just thought it’s a family matter.
13:37All the other girls in the family have already been married off.
13:44Resham has finished her graduation
13:47and earned several certificates in sewing and embroidery too.
13:51That’s wonderful.
13:55In that case,
13:56let’s settle on a date for Zawar and Resham’s wedding.
14:01I was thinking we could hold our Mariam’s farewell
14:05ceremony during their wedding reception.
14:11I don’t want to get married right now, Dad.
14:27Why?
14:33Because I'm on duty right now.
14:37To hell with your duty.
14:39Who says someone on duty can't get married?
14:43I never said I can't get married.
14:45I just don't want to get married right now.
14:54What's the problem now?
14:56You know what my job is like, Dad.
14:59I don't work a nine-to-five job.
15:01I'm on duty twenty-four hours a day.
15:03Then quit your job.
15:05Sell the land and pay off your loan.
15:08You're in debt because of your boss.
15:11You've mortgaged our happiness for him.
15:14Dad, if selling the land would bring in one crore,
15:18why would I take a loan?
15:23I know you don't approve of my job,
15:26but I don't have any other choice right now.
15:30That's why I'm obligated.
15:31So because of you,
15:33Mariam and Resham can't get married?
15:35I never said that, Dad.
15:36You can go ahead and set Mariam's wedding date.
15:41What about Resham?
18:55Resham,
18:57why are you sifting through the ashes?
19:01Is everything okay?
19:04Mom, what difference does the timing make
19:08if I have to sift through the ashes anyway?
19:20What are you talking about?
19:22Why would you sift through the ashes?
19:24God forbid.
19:33He refused to marry me.
19:39If I don’t sift through the ashes,
19:41what am I supposed to do?
19:44No, dear.
19:45He hasn’t refused to get married.
19:49He just doesn’t want to get married right now.
19:50That’s all he said.
19:52Mom, it’s the same thing.
19:57He has refused to get married right now.
20:03Later, he’ll come up with another excuse.
20:09Then he will never get married.
20:12Why wouldn’t he get married?
20:16Mom, he brought a girl from the city with him.
20:24Don’t you understand what’s going on?
20:30No, dear.
20:31It’s part of his job.
20:32What proof do you have that he’s telling the truth?
20:36What if he’s already married to her?
20:39He’s just not telling you yet.
20:43It’ll be a big surprise.
20:46God forbid.
20:48Don’t say such terrible things.
20:51I have peace in my heart.
20:53It’s nothing like that.
20:55Just have faith in God.
20:58All we can do is wait.
21:02Just wait.
21:04Everything will be fine.
21:09Mom, what if something changes while we keep waiting?
21:18What if Zawar starts liking her?
21:24What if that rich girl forces him to choose her?
21:29What if her wealthy father gives Zawar one or two crores
21:34and puts him in his debt?
21:37What will we do then, Mom?
21:40God forbid.
21:42Zawar knows that you are still committed to him.
21:47He won’t do anything like that.
21:50Brother Aijaz and Sister-in-law won’t do anything like that.
21:54I have peace in my heart.
21:57Have faith in God.
21:59Everything will be fine.
22:02Just wait a little.
22:06Mother, tell me the truth.
22:10God will make everything right.
22:13Everything will be fine.
22:15My heart tells me so.
22:17Just get ready for Mariam’s wedding.
22:20The date is set for the 28th of next month.
22:24Start preparing happily.
22:27Only a few days are left.
22:30No, Mom.
22:33I just don’t feel like it.
22:38That girl will be there too.
22:40Let her be there.
22:41You are the one who matters.
22:43You are this family’s future daughter-in-law.
22:47You are Mariam’s friend. You are like a sister to her.
22:50Just prepare happily.
22:53Nothing will happen.
22:54You’ll see.
22:55Everything will go your way.
22:58As for that girl, don’t let her bother you.
23:04That girl is an outsider. She’s just a guest.
23:08She’ll go back home.
23:15Now cheer up.
23:24Get up.
23:25Are you going to sit here all night?
23:49I did what I felt was right to keep you safe.
23:53And I'll continue doing it.
23:58If anyone even dares to look at you the wrong way,
24:02I'll gouge their eyes out.
24:10I've been looking everywhere for you, and you're here.
24:13Why were you looking for me?
24:17Look at me, Paras.
24:22Paras?
24:23What?
24:26You...
24:28You're crying.
24:35I can't bear to see you cry, Paras.
24:38How could you betray me like this?
24:40You never told me you were engaged.
24:42You hid something so important from me
24:45while pretending to be loyal. Where did your loyalty go?
24:50You never even asked about me.
24:55You told me everything about your family,
24:59but you forgot to tell me that you were engaged.
25:03Does it matter to you that I'm engaged?
25:13Seeing your father and uncle today reminded me of my dad.
25:25I've created a new email account.
25:28I asked him to create a separate email account too.
25:32I'll send him all your pictures from today using that email account.
25:37If you want,
25:39you can chat with him through that account too.
25:42Thank you.
25:50Why did you refuse to get married?
25:55I could have seen weddings here too.
25:58If you want to see weddings, you'll get plenty of chances.
26:03Let's go inside.
26:06No, I'm fine here. You go.
26:09I don't want to go inside yet.
26:14Go on.
30:12Mariam, is Zeb asleep?
30:15Zeb seems to be sleeping, Mom.
30:20What do you mean?
30:21I mean she isn't asleep.
30:26Maybe she's pretending to be asleep.
30:29But why would she do that?
30:31I don't know, Mom.
30:34I don't understand what you're trying to say.
30:39Just tell me clearly. What's the matter?
30:41Mom, I think she must have gotten really tired from that outing the other day.
30:46She isn't used to going out and walking around so much.
30:48So maybe that's why.
30:51Yes, you're right.
30:53City girls are more delicate.
30:56Maybe she's really tired.
30:59Let me take breakfast to your father.
31:02Okay.
31:07Here’s your breakfast.
31:16Zawar, come. Breakfast is ready.
32:16What happened?
32:17What happened?
32:19Why aren’t you coming for breakfast?
32:21I’ll be there.
32:24Have you had breakfast?
32:26No.
32:27What about everyone else?
32:29No.
32:30Then why are you asking me so many questions this early in the morning?
32:35You never have an answer. I’ll come.
33:31-Here you go, Mom. -Bring it.
33:33What would you like, Zawar?
33:35Eggs or vegetables?
33:38Mom…
33:38Mariam, please bring me some tea.
33:41Sure.
33:45Thank you.
33:55Actually, I think the tea has gone cold.
34:01I’ll heat it up and bring it back.
34:08What were you saying, Zawar?
34:15Nothing.
34:22Brother, would you like some tea too?
34:23Should I heat it up for you?
34:25Didn’t you make a yogurt drink today?
34:26You make it every day, don’t you? That’s why I’m asking.
34:30No, I didn’t. But I’ll make some if you’d like.
34:33Thank you.
34:45Son, finish your breakfast.
34:47Then come with me to the fields.
34:50No, Dad. I’ll come with you.
35:03I’ll heat up the tea and bring it back.
35:10Tell me, would you like tea or a yogurt drink?
35:15No, nothing. It’s okay.
