0:24They say I should just close this chapter.
0:29They say I should move on.
0:34How can they even say that?
0:39How could they?
0:53You broke your promise, didn't you?
0:58You promised you'd be with me for my entire life,
1:04and then you just left.
2:02Hello.
2:03Zulfiqar Shah,
2:04I've shared a location with you.
2:06Their car was spotted outside the mall.
2:09But...
2:45Yes?
2:46Hey, why aren't you answering my calls?
2:49We spotted their car, but we've lost it again.
2:52I'm so sorry.
2:54We still haven’t been able to track down the boys
2:56who caused Sister-in-law Hoor’s death.
2:58I'll take action the moment I have a lead.
3:58Okay, okay, calm down. Just calm down.
4:01I told you I've got a problem I need to take care of here.
4:03I'll be there soon.
4:05Okay.
4:06Love you too, sweetheart.
4:09Okay, bye.
4:14Did you really have to talk about Hoor like that?
4:17You know how sensitive he is about her, don't you?
4:22Whatever the case,
4:24Hoor is dead now.
4:27Zulfiqar needs to forget her and move on.
4:30You have no heart, do you?
4:31You have no soul, only gears.
4:33You have no idea what it's like to lose the love of your life.
4:36The kind of torment you have to go through.
4:39Everyone dies sooner or later.
4:42So what if Hoor did too?
4:48I know.
4:50You wouldn't even feel a thing if your own wife died,
4:53but Zulfiqar is my son,
4:55and he was madly in love with Hoor.
4:58He'll need some time to move on from this grief.
5:02She took far too long to die.
5:04She should have been dead long ago.
5:07But I guess that's alright.
5:11It may have been delayed, but the job is done.
5:13Listen.
5:19Make him understand.
5:21Tell him to forget Hoor and think about Maria.
5:23Maria is a far better option for him.
5:26It would be best if you gave up all hope for your friend and his daughter.
5:32Zulfiqar will never agree to this.
5:35The sooner you accept that, the better it'll be for you.
5:51I had Hoor removed from the picture for a reason,
5:56and I'll see that purpose fulfilled, no matter what.
6:06Murtaza, I was thinking,
6:09for Mehwish's wedding, we should gift her a gold jewelry set,
6:14maybe some electronics,
6:15and of course,
6:17we'll need to book the venue and arrange for all the catering.
6:20What do you think?
6:21Of course, dear.
6:22Whatever you wish will be seen to.
6:25What's all the chatter about?
6:27Oh, we're just discussing the wedding plans.
6:29Who's getting married?
6:31Oh, Ahmed's daughter, Mehwish, is getting married.
6:35Which reminds me, you should also start preparing for it.
6:37Oh, come on, Mom. Please.
6:41Dad, what's that old saying? The fool who...
6:43No, not that.
6:44The one about getting overly excited at a stranger's wedding...
6:46The overly excited fool? Oh no, hold on.
6:49A fool who dances at a stranger's wedding.
6:51Exactly. And you want me to be that dancing fool, don't you, Mom?
6:55This is my only brother's daughter's wedding we're talking about.
6:59Meaning, she's your only uncle's daughter.
7:02So what, Mom?
7:04Honestly, Mom, look,
7:05we haven't been that close to them since we were kids.
7:08Every time I visit, I'm just bored out of my mind.
7:11The only reason I ever go is that you force me to.
7:12On my own, I would never.
7:14On top of that,
7:16you keep bringing Noor here all the time.
7:20She's a lovely girl, I guess,
7:22but I've always felt she's uncomfortable in this house.
7:27She's just not used to living in a place this grand,
7:30so that feels awkward.
7:33There's a huge class difference, isn't there?
7:34How did class get dragged into this?
7:37She's a poised, well-educated, and wonderful girl.
7:41My niece is one in a million.
7:43Girls like her are the ones who build happy homes.
7:46In fact, I'm thinking I'll...
7:47Okay, Mom, I'm really sorry.
7:49I know you don't want to hear anything bad about Noor.
7:53I just got a little carried away.
7:56Anyway, Dad,
7:58I need your permission for something.
8:01A friend of mine just called. The one I was just speaking to.
8:04He's planned a surprise birthday party for tonight.
8:06He's insisting it won't be fun unless I show up.
8:12So, can I go?
8:14Are you asking permission to go to a party for the first time in your life?
8:17I just wanted to let you know not to wait for me for dinner.
8:19-Okay. -I'll eat at the party.
8:21-Alright. -Alright? Thanks, Dad.
8:23Bye, Mom. Love you. Love you, Dad.
8:27This kid never stops, does he?
8:29Anyway, I think dinner's ready. Shall we?
8:33Yes, of course, I'll check. Shakeela,
8:36is the dinner on the table?
8:44Mom, that's so unfair.
8:48You sent Mehwish for that expensive facial.
8:51Do you know that the treatment costs fifteen thousand rupees?
8:54Yes, I know.
8:56But Mehwish is getting married,
8:59and soon she'll be leaving home for good.
9:01It was her heart's desire, so I had to let her.
9:04When it's your turn to get married,
9:06I promise to fulfill all of your wishes too.
9:10Alright then.
9:11Today I'm going to buy every outfit I want.
9:14Oh, look! Aren't those beautiful?
9:16Of course, honey. I won't say no.
9:17Buy whatever your heart desires. Happy now?
9:19-Come on, let's go have a look. -Sure.
9:23Come, let's look in here. They seem to have some nice dresses.
9:25Wow, the dresses here are gorgeous!
9:26I know, right? Go on, take a look.
9:30Mom, look at this one. This dress is so beautiful.
9:33Look at the embroidery on it.
9:34Yes, it's nice.
9:35I'm definitely buying this.
9:39Mom, look!
9:42Mom, this one's also so pretty!
9:45Oh, Mom, look! Isn't this gorgeous?
9:47The color is just stunning.
9:52Mom, look at this one, too.
9:56Such a beautiful color.
9:57It's lovely.
10:00Mom, I'm telling you, I'm getting all three,
10:03and don't even try to stop me.
10:04You promised before we left that I could get what I wanted.
10:07Alright, alright.
10:08Take them to the checkout and find out how much they are.
10:09On it. I'll let you know.
10:11Why are you looking at me like that?
10:13I'm getting you something too.
10:15We're not done shopping yet, are we?
10:17Come on, go find an outfit for yourself. Go on.
10:24Greetings, sir.
10:25Greetings.
10:28Could you show me a nice bracelet?
10:30Any standout pieces? Something unique.
10:33Yes, of course, sir. May I ask who it’s for?
10:35For my wife.
10:36I'm sorry, sir, but didn't Mrs. Hoor pass away?
10:41That's none of your concern.
10:42My apologies, sir. Right away.
10:56Have a look at this one.
10:57The flared trousers style would look wonderful on you.
10:59-These are flared trousers? -Yes, they are.
11:00It has a beautiful flair and comes with a long shirt.
11:03-These are its sleeves. -Mom.
11:04Mom, I really like this one.
11:06Can you get it for me, please? Look.
11:08You want to wear flared trousers?
11:10It's not your wedding, Noor.
11:12It's Mehwish's!
11:14Let me see this.
11:16It's so expensive. What's the point?
11:18Dear, do you have something a bit simpler?
11:21At a more reasonable price.
11:23A wedding outfit is rarely simple, ma'am.
11:25Where can you even wear such a fancy outfit later on?
11:29You wear it for one day,
11:31and then it just sits folded in a closet.
11:33So, what's the point of getting it?
11:35It's such a waste of money. Do you have anything simple?
11:37Oh, now this is lovely.
11:39This one is nice. Stand straight for me, Noor.
11:42Yes. This will look beautiful on my Noor.
11:44The color is so pretty on you.
11:46With her fair complexion, it'll be perfect on her.
11:49Alright then, dear.
11:50We'll take this one along with the other outfits.
11:52Thank you, ma'am.
12:02Sir, here's your card, your receipt, and your purchase.
12:06Thank you.
12:22Thank you so much, sir. Goodbye.
12:24We're done with the clothes, then.
12:26Now we just need to get footwear to go with them.
12:28Mom, I need to buy some heels too.
12:30Of course, let's get you some. Look at those pretty ones over there.
12:32Oh, wow, Mom! Look at all the gorgeous colors!
12:45Noor!
12:47Noor, why are you limping behind?
12:49Oh, good grief!
12:51You've dropped everything, you clumsy girl.
12:52Don't you have any strength in your hands?
12:56You walk like a turtle, I swear.
14:04What is it now?
14:05Why do you keep calling and bothering me?
14:06I told you. I don't want to talk to you.
14:08Well, I found myself in need of money,
14:10so I was naturally forced to call you
14:12I've already given you the money.
14:14I'm not giving you another cent.
14:15-Now, get lost. Bye. -Suit yourself.
14:18But things are only going to get much harder for you from here.
14:21I'm not your ATM,
14:24spitting out cash for you whenever you feel like it.
14:28Well, you should be.
14:31Unless you've forgotten what I'm capable of.
14:36I never thought you’d actually go through with this,
14:40but I see now that
14:42I’ll have to meet you in person to give you the money.
14:46I’ll send you a location. Meet me there.
14:49Hey, what’s wrong? Why the long face?
14:52It’s nothing.
14:54We heard the whole thing. Someone’s blackmailing you.
14:58Yeah, man.
15:00It’s this girl. She’s extorting me.
15:03I’ve given her plenty before, but now she’s coming back for more.
15:06A girl?
15:07And she’s got you cornered?
15:09Well, I’m not surprised.
15:13She has videos of me, you see.
15:16You guys know how it goes.
15:18Being blackmailed by a girl while we’re right here with you?
15:20We should be ashamed.
15:22You want to get rid of her for good, don’t you?
15:24Of course.
15:25Then do exactly as we say.
15:41Happy birthday to you.
15:46Happy birthday to you.
15:51Happy birthday, dear Hoor.
15:56Happy birthday to you.
16:02Happy birthday, Hoor.
16:06All this effort, this entire celebration, it's all for you.
16:10Look.
16:18I did all of this just for you.
16:23See the red jacket?
16:26It was your favorite, wasn't it?
16:30Hold on.
16:33I have a gift for you, too.
16:36Look at these.
16:39Your favorite.
16:43Remember how much you loved these?
16:48I wanted to surprise you on your birthday.
16:52But look at me,
16:58getting all sad on such a happy occasion.
17:01Happy birthday.
17:03Let's cut the cake.
17:10Happy birthday to you.
17:13Happy birthday to you.
17:17Happy birthday, dear Hoor.
17:24Happy birthday to you.
17:30May you have many more.
17:38May you have many more.
18:57This is definitely the location.
19:00But it's so deserted here.
19:03I can't see anything clearly.
19:13Salar?
19:15Salar, is that you?
19:17You're bold enough to come collect the money,
19:20yet you're shaking with fear?
19:28Has it really come to this?
19:32You don't even recognize Salar Murtaza.
19:35Why would I be afraid of you?
19:37You're the one who should be afraid of me now, Salar.
19:40Because I have every last one of your secrets recorded.
19:44Now, give me the money.
19:47Money?
19:49Sorry, Nida.
19:51I don't have any money for you.
19:55What do you mean by that?
19:57Then why did you call me out here?
20:00Hey, relax.
20:02Because you forced my hand and left me no choice but to call you here.
20:06And then I thought,
20:08if I don't bring you here,
20:11how will I teach you a lesson?
20:13You're not getting it, are you?
20:15Let me spell it out for you.
20:19Ta-da!
20:21Let there be light.
20:27Salar, what is all this?
20:30Who are these people?
20:30Whoa, whoa, Nida, no need to be scared.
20:33Look, trust me.
20:34I'm on your side, aren't I?
20:36Trust me.
20:36These are my boys. My own guys.
20:39Whenever I'm in a tight spot,
20:41I always call them.
20:42I had a job for them today, so I told them to come.
20:44They're here to help you out, darling.
20:47Boys.
20:48Please help the lady.
20:49Go on, lighten her load, quickly now.
20:51Stay away from me.
20:52I said, stay away.
20:53Stay away. Give me my phone.
20:56I said give me my phone back.
20:57-Come on. Come and get it. -Give me my phone back.
20:59-Go on, give it to her. -I said, give it to me.
21:01Don't trouble her.
21:02Hey, I'll make you pay for this. I said, give it back to me.
21:06Salar.
21:08What is this sick behavior?
21:10You lured me here and betrayed me.
21:12Betrayal?
21:14Me, betray a woman like you?
21:16You?
21:18You were the one blackmailing me,
21:21and all because of this phone, right?
21:24Where's that phone? Where is it?
21:26Oh.
21:28The phone's gone, Nida.
21:31That means your precious evidence has been shattered into pieces.
21:34Now, what are you going to do?
21:37What did you think?
21:39Do you think this was the only recording I had of you?
21:42I have more recordings of you,
21:45and they're all safe on a hard drive.
21:48I'm not letting you off the hook this easily, Salar.
21:53The same way you ruined my life,
21:56I'm going to ruin yours.
21:58I'll destroy your reputation, Salar.
22:00I'll make it so you can't show your face in public ever again.
22:11Oh, Nida. Nida.
22:15You know,
22:17you're hilarious.
22:19That's what I liked about you.
22:22But let me tell you something.
22:25You can't do a single thing to me.
22:29Because I...
22:31I am Salar Murtaza.
22:33I am the king, and you're just an ant.
22:39You're insane, Salar.
22:40You've completely lost your mind.
22:46I may play the villain in this story,
22:47but the opening scene was pure hero material.
22:50You're the one who drove me crazy.
22:53I may be mad, but you're the one who made me this way.
22:57Only you.
23:00But you know, on a serious note, can I say something?
23:04I'm tired.
23:05I'm tired of this cat-and-mouse game we're playing.
23:09I can't do this anymore.
23:10So, boys,
23:11I'm thinking,
23:13we should just let Nida go.
23:16Set her free forever.
23:18You can go now. This fight is over.
23:21As of today, you're dead to me. So, go. Go on, get out of here.
23:24Hey, Salar, what are you doing?
23:26Salar, why are you letting her go?
23:28This wasn't part of our plan.
23:30What is this foolishness?
23:37Nida.
23:42Nida, baby.
23:50Before you go,
23:52just one more time,
23:53one last time, show me that beautiful face.
23:57Please.
24:08Salar!
24:10Bye, Nida.
24:19That's a wrap, guys.
24:22She's gone.
24:25The poor girl came here trying to act all tough,
24:27and that's how it ends.
24:34That's enough, guys. I guess that’s all. But she was good.
24:36Really good.
24:39But she's gone for good now.
25:26I've decided that from now on,
25:27I'll become the Zulfiqar Shah you always wanted me to be,
25:32because I feel you're still with me.
25:37Right here beside me,
25:39watching over me.
25:43Now all that's left for me is the echo of your love.
25:48An echo I'll have to live on with for the rest of my life.
26:11Please have a seat, Sister.
26:15So, please tell us.
26:17What was so important that
26:19you insisted Ahmed had to be here?
26:21You could have just come to visit me and the girls.
26:24Are we not family to you?
26:26Of course, I consider you my own family,
26:27that's why I drop in without any notice.
26:34I have something important to discuss with Ahmed.
26:37Yes, of course. Please, go ahead.
26:39I gave him your message the moment you asked me.
26:42That's why he rushed home.
26:43Otherwise, you know how it is.
26:45With the wedding preparations,
26:47there's always a million things to do.
26:49Sajda, this is for you.
26:52Use it for the girls' wedding preparations,
26:58and Ahmed, this is for you.
27:01Use it to cover the wedding expenses.
27:08Oh, Sister, you really shouldn't have.
27:10What was the need for this, Sister?
27:12You already help us so much.
27:14Whenever I'm in need,
27:16I always borrow from you.
27:17How could I ever repay such a large amount?
27:21There's no need to pay it back.
27:23It's not a loan.
27:25This is a gift from the heart.
27:27I...
27:27Just take it, Ahmed.
27:29Alright, fine.
27:31Just think of it as a wedding gift for my niece.
27:34Ahmed, what's gotten into you? Please, just take it.
27:37After all, what is family for?
27:40And honestly, we really do need it.
27:43The thing is, since the guy lives in Dubai,
27:47he's refused to accept a traditional dowry.
27:49It's not like he can load beds and wardrobes onto a plane.
27:52So we thought it would be better to just give her cash.
27:56That way, she can buy whatever she needs in Dubai.
27:59Well, that's a wonderful solution.
28:02That's settled then, dear.
28:03You can buy whatever you like for yourself
28:05when you go shopping in Dubai.
28:08Thank you so much, Aunt.
28:11You'll be greatly rewarded for this, Sister.
28:14We always keep you in our prayers,
28:17and we'll continue to do so.
28:19Hey girls, your aunt is here.
28:21Go and arrange some refreshments for her.
28:23Go on, get up.
28:24Yes, of course, Aunt.
28:26I'll make biryani for you,
28:27and I promise, it won't be nearly as spicy as last time.
28:30Mom's taught me how to cook properly now.
28:33Come on, Mehwish, let's cook.
28:34-Okay, let's go. -So tell me,
28:36what have you decided to wear for the wedding?
28:38You should definitely wear a sari.
28:39Sister looks so elegant in a sari, doesn't she?
28:42And I'm telling you, you won't be coming to the wedding as just a guest.
28:45As a matter of fact, I think it would be lovely
28:47if you stayed with us for a few days before the wedding.
28:52You're my daughters' only aunt.
28:55Besides, Sister,
28:58you're the only family I have from my in-laws.
28:59-There's absolutely no one else. -Noor.
29:02Yes?
29:03Come here, dear.
29:04Come, sit with me. Come on.
29:14Have you started preparing for the wedding yet?
29:16Not yet.
29:17I see.
29:18Alright then, why don't we do this?
29:21I'll take you shopping.
29:22-Oh no, I'm good. -No, no, Sister!
29:23Please don't trouble yourself.
29:25You've already given the money for it, right?
29:27I'll take the girls shopping.
29:29I'll get it done, so please don't worry about it.
29:33Of course, I'll just go with her.
29:46Uncle.
29:48Based on the timeline Zulfiqar locked in,
29:52if we hand over possession two months earlier,
29:55we could generate millions in profit.
29:57Brilliant!
29:59I'll email the details to you.
30:01You?
30:06What are you doing here?
30:10Who gave you permission to sit in my chair?
30:13I had no idea you'd show up unannounced.
30:16Otherwise, I would've given you a proper welcome.
30:19How did you set foot in my office without my permission?
30:27I was the one who asked her
30:29to step in and run the office in your absence.
30:33She's brilliant.
30:35Obviously, since you were clearly in no condition to work,
30:37someone had to step up while you weren't here, right?
30:48This office is mine.
30:50The entire staff is mine.
30:54This business is mine.
30:56Without asking me,
30:59how could she set foot in my office?
31:04You seem to be forgetting
31:07that I'm your father,
31:10and eventually,
31:12she's the one who'll be running this business right alongside you.
31:16Dad, perhaps you're the one who's forgetting.
31:19We made an agreement
31:22not to interfere in each other's business affairs.
31:28I expect you to uphold your end of the deal.
31:30Please.
31:35And you,
31:38leave my office.
31:41What’s gotten into you, Zulfiqar?
31:44We’re good friends,
31:46and besides, we’re ultimately the ones who’ll run this business together anyway.
31:49What?
31:51Are we good friends?
31:53Really?
31:55I don’t think so,
31:57and I’ve absolutely zero interest in going into business with you.
32:03Just stand up and leave.
32:06Zulfiqar…
32:11What do you think would happen
32:13if I dragged your best friend’s daughter
32:17out of my office, right in front of you?
32:20It would definitely create quite a spectacle in front of the entire staff in your presence.
32:25It would be deeply humiliating for both you and her.
32:30But if you respectfully escort her down to her car yourself,
32:36then everything will remain fine.
32:37Back to normal.
32:40Besides, you already know
32:41there’s no telling what I’m capable of,
32:42considering how entirely unpredictable I am.
32:44Fair enough?
32:55Sounds fair.
33:16Hello.
33:17Call an urgent meeting immediately.
33:18Have all the staff gather in the conference room.
33:20Now.
33:21I also want a comprehensive debriefing right away
33:22regarding every single development
33:23that took place here in my absence.
33:25Yes, right now.
33:27Okay.
33:33Can I get you something, Dad?
33:34Tea. Coffee. Juice? Anything?
34:52Hoor.
34:53Could you please make me a nice cup of coffee?
34:57I’m absolutely beat today.
35:00Hey, what are you doing? Get up.
35:02Come on, sit here. Sit down.
35:06What was this?
35:07Look, Hoor, you’re my wife.
35:09You have my utmost respect.
35:12You’re not my slave to be taking off my shoes.
35:15But I like doing these things for you,
35:18taking care of you.
35:20Well, I didn’t like that one bit.
35:23Don’t ever let these beautiful hands of yours
35:25touch my shoes again, alright?
36:02How many times do I have to tell you people?
36:05Stop calling me for every little thing when I’m home.
36:08What did I hire all this staff for?
36:10If I’m the one who has to do everything,
36:12then I might as well just fire them all.
36:13Why am I even paying them?
36:14Tell me.
36:55Hoor, just one second.
37:00I’ll get back to you in a bit.
