0:18My darling, please wake up.
0:20Noor.
0:21Noor, please wake up. Pull yourself together, please.
0:24Zara,
0:26how could this have happened?
0:27Everything will be fine, please.
0:29You're such a resilient girl. What's gotten into you?
0:40You're happy now, right?
0:43I'm overjoyed.
0:45Look, you said the word,
0:48and I divorced her on the spot, just for you.
0:50I kept telling you she meant nothing to me.
0:56That's precisely why I'm over the moon.
0:58Say something.
0:59This silence will devour you from within.
1:04Curse the ones who've wronged you. Let it all out.
1:09Weep your heart out for once.
1:12Please, say something.
1:15You're frightening me. Please.
1:18Noor!
1:21What should I say?
1:25What's left to say?
1:28Everything's over.
1:31It's not over.
1:35Nothing's over yet.
1:39If Salar can already start over, why can't you?
1:44Besides, you're free now to make your own decisions.
1:53Hello.
1:55Yes, I'm coming.
1:59My brother's here to pick me up.
2:01I really don't want to leave you like this.
2:05You have to pull yourself together, Noor.
2:08You must remember that nothing's over.
2:15Please, go.
2:19Don't worry about me.
2:22Be strong.
2:23Your brother is waiting for you.
2:27You should go.
2:28You need a strong shoulder to lean on to face all this.
2:35A shoulder to lean on?
2:38All my support systems crumbled like sand slipping through my fingers.
2:44I have no one to call my own.
2:48Absolutely no one.
2:52There's no one I can call my own.
2:57It will all be okay, Noor.
3:22How is Noor?
3:24Did she regain consciousness?
3:28Thank God.
3:30Thank you, my Lord.
3:33What are you thanking God for after getting her divorced?
3:38You all left no stone unturned in destroying her life.
3:42You've branded that poor girl with the stigma of divorce.
3:50If Salar was going to marry someone of his own choice anyway,
3:54then why did you force him to marry Noor?
4:02Tell me.
4:03Did Ahmed do something wrong?
4:05Did he commit a transgression for which you're punishing Noor?
4:13After Ahmed's passing,
4:14I was quietly taking her back to Hyderabad with me, wasn't I?
4:19But you're the one who stopped her. Forcefully, no less.
4:24Now, how can I ever face my late husband in the afterlife,
4:27knowing I couldn’t protect his daughter?
4:38Sister, I admit
4:43I was callous as her stepmother.
4:46But if you were in my shoes,
4:49you would've naturally done the same.
4:55But Sister,
4:56you are a truly magnanimous woman.
4:59So wise.
5:01So compassionate.
5:05You treated her like she was your own flesh and blood, did you not?
5:09Then how could you do this?
5:15You bowed down to your husband and son
5:20and shattered an orphan's life.
5:27Sister,
5:29well, at least now, my sins are fewer than yours,
5:36are they not?
6:00Mom?
6:04Mom, what are you doing out here so late?
6:08Zulfiqar went to see Noor.
6:10What?
6:11At this hour?
6:12Is everything alright?
6:14Noor was divorced.
6:16What?
6:17Who told you that?
6:19Zulfiqar did. Who else would tell me?
6:22But Mom, she came here and swore
6:24she would make her marriage work no matter what.
6:27So, how could this happen?
6:28I have no idea.
6:30I'm just so worried about Zulfiqar.
6:31I pray he doesn't do something reckless in the heat of the moment.
6:34Mom, please don't worry. Everything's going to be okay.
6:36How can I not worry?
6:39Iftikhar has already made his disapproval crystal clear.
6:42If this continues,
6:44there's going to be a colossal scene.
6:46No, Mom.
6:47Brother will handle everything.
6:48Just relax.
6:49Besides, it's his life.
6:51He can marry whomever he chooses.
6:52Dad can't force him to marry Maria.
6:56I don't know what has gotten into Zulfiqar's head.
6:58That boy has me anxious with worry.
7:00Forget about it, Mom. That's enough.
7:01Don't fret so much. Let's go inside.
7:04Come on, let's go. Come with me.
9:09Noor?
9:14Noor, dear.
9:19Get a hold of yourself, dear.
9:21Realize who is truly on your side.
9:29In the end, I'm the only one here for you.
9:33You've witnessed your aunt's true colors, haven't you?
9:37She abandoned you completely.
9:40She ruined your life.
9:44But don't you worry, my dear.
9:48I'll make her pay for this so dearly she'll never forget it.
9:55She didn't even come to check on you, did she?
9:58That's alright. Never mind.
10:01Put on your shoes.
10:02We're going home.
10:03You just wait.
10:05I'm going to tell the entire family
10:08about all the injustices Sister Anjum has done to Noor.
10:12Let's go. Easy now, dear.
10:14Easy now. Be brave.
10:16Let's go.
10:21There's no one here on your side, my dear.
10:24She had you divorced,
10:25the same woman who said you were like her daughter.
10:28See?
10:29She left you utterly helpless.
10:37All this anguish,
10:40all this humiliation is exactly what I wanted to protect you from, Noor.
10:45You should have left him long ago.
10:53It's a blessing you came, son.
10:55Do you know
10:56that Salar has divorced my Noor?
10:58Oh, Aunt. Aunt, what's gotten into you?
11:03We don't air our dirty laundry in front of a stranger.
11:08It's just not right.
11:12And you,
11:14what on earth are you doing here? You...
11:16Oh, not today. Today, I'm the groom.
11:26Quiet!
11:31Who is he to you now?
11:33Look at him.
11:35Did this scoundrel really have the audacity
11:38to humiliate you in public like that?
11:45This is exactly what I've been warning you about.
11:47You should have left him, Noor.
11:49It should have been you to leave him.
11:55If you care about her so much, by all means, take her with you.
11:59Nothing is stopping you now.
12:00My son has already divorced her.
12:02I know,
12:04and for her, this isn't a tragedy.
12:06It's a cause for celebration.
12:08Well, if it's such a cause for celebration,
12:10then take her with you.
12:12That's exactly why I'm here.
12:15She wasn't respected in your house when she was part of your family.
12:19Why would that change now?
12:21Noor?
12:23Noor,
12:26come with me.
12:31Oh, no need for all the theatrics. Just relax.
12:34Look, there's nothing between Noor and me anymore.
12:37To me, she's like any other woman now.
12:39But I'll still do you this one favor,
12:41just grab her from here and take...
12:42She's not going anywhere!
12:48Anjum, stay out of this.
12:51Why should I?
12:53She may not be your daughter-in-law anymore,
12:55but so what?
12:56She's still my niece.
13:09So, just because she's your niece,
13:10we're supposed to let this man humiliate us whenever he pleases?
13:13Is that what you want?
13:18Please calm down, you two.
13:20He won't dare do it again.
13:23As for you,
13:25stay away from Noor.
13:27I'm here to protect her now.
13:30Do you understand?
13:48I'll grant you both your wish very soon.
13:59Because from this moment on, wherever Noor resides,
14:04she will reside with dignity and respect.
14:09You have Zulfiqar Shah's word on it.
14:25Come on.
14:27Let's proceed with the farewell ceremony. Come along.
14:29-Let's go. -Yes, of course.
14:37You all stay right where you are.
14:39You're coming with me.
14:41To our home.
15:36Yes, Thank God. We all arrived home safely.
15:39Yes, of course.
15:41No, about that, I don't know who he was.
15:44He was probably looking for a different hall.
15:47I have no idea.
15:49Okay, I'll call you back.
15:52What you've done is unacceptable.
15:54It was already settled
15:56that Salar wouldn't divorce Noor,
15:58so what was the need for all this spectacle?
16:02You were there. You witnessed the situation.
16:05It's what Arooshma wanted too.
16:06What else could I have done?
16:07Turned the wedding procession around and sent them home?
16:09They blackmailed us.
16:11If the choice had been yours, what would you have done?
16:15You would've agreed too, wouldn't you?
16:17So whatever happened, happened for the best.
16:19It's not for the best,
16:20it's dreadful, Murtaza.
16:22It's a catastrophe for Noor.
16:26How will I ever face my brother after I die?
16:30And now you're going to blame us for that?
16:33This is all because of your blunders. Your dreadful decision.
16:36If this was going to happen anyway,
16:38it could have been done discreetly.
16:41What was the need to create such a spectacle in front of everyone?
16:44We didn't create this spectacle.
16:45Your poor judgment did.
16:48Do you understand?
16:50And frankly, I'm baffled.
16:52When that guy came to take her,
16:54why didn't you just let her go?
16:55What are you talking about, Murtaza?
16:57How could I let my own niece just leave with a complete stranger?
17:04Do you still need to be introduced?
17:07He waltzes into this house after your niece
17:11as if it's his father's property.
17:12Noor isn't like that, Murtaza.
17:14And frankly, the way you think is shameful.
17:17Tell me,
17:18if it were your own daughter instead of Noor,
17:21would you still be saying these things?
17:22Would you feel the same way?
17:24Anjum, for one thing, she's not my daughter,
17:29and for another, if she were, she never would have acted this way.
17:31We come from an honorable family.
17:35Don't you ever say anything like that to me again.
17:43Find somewhere else for that girl to stay, and do it soon.
17:46I will not have her under my roof any longer.
18:53I don't know.
18:57I don't know who's to blame for all this.
19:05But I never wanted this for you, Noor.
19:11I had such high hopes
19:15and dreams when I made you my daughter-in-law.
19:19I never imagined it would all come to this.
19:25If you can find it in your heart,
19:29forgive your aunt.
21:07I'm asking you a question. Why won't you answer me?
21:13Just go to sleep, Mom. It's late.
21:16We'll talk in the morning.
21:19Just tell me, what have you done?
21:24I haven't done anything,
21:26but I want you to do something for me.
21:30What? What do you want?
21:35I want to make Noor mine.
21:37I want to marry her.
21:41I need you to take my proposal to her family.
22:19Salar, you have to choose between Noor and me.
22:21No!
22:24Right this second. This very instant, divorce her!
22:34I, Salar Murtaza,
22:37in full control of my mind and actions,
22:41-Noor Ahmed, I... -No!
22:43-No, Salar! You can't do this, Salar! -Mom, please.
22:46Salar, don't!
22:47I divorce you! I divorce you!
22:48-No! -I divorce you!
22:56I'll grant you both your wish very soon.
23:01Because from this moment on,
23:04wherever Noor resides,
23:07she will reside with dignity and respect.
24:27Well then, let's begin.
24:28Why isn't Noor here for breakfast?
24:31Shakeela!
24:33Get Noor.
24:35Go and bring Noor down here.
24:36Tell her I'm summoning her and to come immediately.
24:39Mom.
24:40Mom, please, just let it be. Don't ask her to come down.
24:44Salar is right.
24:46Just have her breakfast sent up to her room.
24:48Why create a scene?
24:50And why is that?
24:51We've never done that before.
24:52Noor isn't a guest in this house.
24:54She's family.
24:56Salar may have thrown her out of his life,
24:58but she is still my niece,
25:00and I'm responsible for her.
25:03She will sit here and eat with us.
25:06Now go, fetch Noor.
25:15Yes, Aunt? You called for me?
25:17I did. Come, sit. Eat with us.
25:26I need to discuss something with all of you.
25:29We can talk later.
25:31Eat your breakfast first.
25:50-Sorry. -Oh God!
25:52Sorry. I'm sorry. Sorry. I'm so sorry.
25:58I didn’t do it on purpose.
26:15What is this behavior?
26:18How dare you lay a hand on my orphaned daughter?
26:20Then teach your precious orphan some manners!
26:22She should learn how to conduct herself in a house like this.
26:24She has no etiquette whatsoever!
26:25Wasn’t what happened yesterday enough, Sister?
26:30Did we really need all this today as well?
26:32Why did you slap her?
26:33So what if it did?
26:34My face could have been burned.
26:35My clothes would have been ruined.
26:36My hands could’ve been burned!
26:37Then what would you have done?
26:38She didn’t do it on purpose.
26:40She did it deliberately!
26:42She loathes me. She can’t stand me at all.
26:44I know that very well.
26:45She’s already divorced.
26:47What are you so insecure about?
26:51I have a problem with her dwelling here.
26:53I don’t comprehend it.
26:54She has a whole family of her own, so why is she still here?
26:57Why don’t you just send her away?
26:58I want her out of this house, right now!
27:00You’ve only been in this house a few hours,
27:03and you’re already trying to call the shots?
27:05No, Mom. Mom, just listen to me.
27:07It’s not like that.
27:08Poor Arooshma was just trying to say
27:10that her hand was burned, Mom. Just look at it!
27:12It’s her first day in this house as a bride.
27:16What is all this talk about?
27:17And Salar,
27:18I will never forget this humiliation.
27:23-Get out of my way! -Hey, careful, please.
27:27Did you see that, Dad?
27:29Was there any need for Mom to humiliate Arooshma
27:32like that on her first day, and all for her beloved niece?
27:36No one in this house gives a damn about my happiness.
27:40Please.
27:41Please, just send her away.
28:14Oh man. What a bloody mess!
28:21I cannot believe this.
28:23Baby, all freshened up?
28:24So this is what I'm worth in this house?
28:26Auntie humiliated me over that good-for-nothing girl, and you,
28:29you didn't even stand up for me.
28:34But I did stand up for you.
28:35What more did you want me to do?
28:37You're lying.
28:39The truth is, you're still in love with her.
28:43You still have a soft spot for her, don't you?
28:46What? For real?
28:49You shouldn't have said that. What are you talking about?
28:52It's nothing like that! If it were, why would I have divorced her?
28:56What has gotten into you?
28:57Well, Auntie clearly can't accept that.
28:59She can't stomach the fact that I'm her daughter-in-law now.
29:02Keep your voice down, please.
29:04She wanted you to marry Noor,
29:05so she could be the one ruling the roost here.
29:07Quiet now. What's the matter with you?
29:10Keep it down, will you?
29:13Look, everything that's happened until now
29:16has been for you, and for you alone.
29:19Baby, from now on, everything will be exactly as you wish,
29:21I promise.
29:24Hey, look at me.
29:26You wanted me to leave her, so I did. I divorced her.
29:31There's nothing between us anymore.
29:33Nothing between you?
29:36Then what is she still doing in this house?
29:40Why is she still here?
29:44So what do you want?
29:46What do you want me to do? Just tell me.
29:50I want her out.
29:52Throw her out of this house,
29:54or I'll be the one to leave.
29:57What?
30:00Are you going to leave?
30:06Is that so?
30:09I mean,
30:10you've only been here as my wife for a few hours now,
30:15and you're already threatening to walk out?
30:20Is this how you repay my sacrifice?
30:23Everything I went through? My love for you?
30:25If you want this marriage to last,
30:29then you need to get that wretch, Noor, out of this house.
30:31Otherwise, I'm out of here.
30:32Alright. Just relax.
30:34Look, I promise you, everything will happen just the way you want it.
30:39You want me to kick her out of this house?
30:41I will.
30:44Just give me a little more time, please.
30:48I can't give you any more time.
30:51You need to make a decision, and it has to be soon.
31:33I'm so sorry for what Arooshma did to you.
31:38She was completely out of line.
31:52I will never let you be mistreated in this house again.
32:00That’s my promise to you.
32:36Aunt.
32:51I'm not staying here anymore.
32:56If you don't stay here,
32:59where will you go?
33:01Anywhere.
33:07Why, dear?
33:10Why would you go just anywhere?
33:13You're not alone.
33:15Your mother is still here for you.
33:20Sister, I'm taking Noor to Hyderabad with me.
33:27No. She won't be able to adjust there.
33:34What are you talking about?
33:37How is she being treated any better in this house?
33:47Considering how your son and his wife treat her,
33:53tell me, how can Noor possibly stay in this house, Sister?
33:59Oh, my darling.
34:01Don't you worry at all.
34:04You're coming with me to Hyderabad, okay?
34:11I'm sorry, Sister,
34:14but my daughter has suffered far too much in this house.
34:19But not anymore.
34:22If your brother were alive today,
34:27his daughter would never be treated this way.
34:32His soul must be in such torment seeing his daughter in this state.
34:51You don't need to worry, Sister.
34:54We will be leaving very soon.
35:00Look what you've all done to my sweet child.
35:03First, she got Noor divorced,
35:08and now she actually laid a hand on my daughter?
35:17That's enough, my dear.
35:48Baby,
35:50come on, please.
35:53Don't be upset anymore.
35:55I'm telling you, I'll deal with her soon.
36:01Not soon.
36:03I want her out of here right now.
36:05I can't do that right now, baby.
36:07Please, just try to understand my predicament.
36:10There was enough drama at the wedding yesterday.
36:13I don't want our reception to be a catastrophe, too.
36:19I can't even stomach the sight of her.
36:21Then don't look at her.
36:24Who's asking you to?
36:27Look, baby,
36:29I divorced her on the spot, just like you wanted.
36:33I'll throw her out of this house, too.
36:37When?
36:38When?
36:40Very soon. I mean, right after the reception.
36:44I'll tell Mom that since Aunt Sajda and her daughter are going to Hyderabad,
36:49she should send Noor with them.
36:53Now, come on, cheer up.
36:55Cheer up, or I'll have to make you smile myself.
37:00Mom's calling.
37:02Hey, listen. Listen to me.
37:04About what happened earlier today, please don't mention anything to Auntie.
37:08How long can I hide it from her?
37:10She already knows I'm living under the same roof as my husband's other wife.
37:17Hello, Mom.
37:30Mom.
37:32Mom, please just listen to me!
37:34Mom, what's gotten into you? Why are you being like this?
37:38Mom, please. Don't you see how unjust you're being to me?
37:42Instead of siding with your own daughter-in-law,
37:43-you're taking Noor's side. -Why?
37:46Just because Arooshma is your wife doesn't change the fact
37:48that Noor is my niece.
37:50You may have thrown her out of your life,
37:53but I haven't severed ties with her.
37:56When Ahmed was on his deathbed, I made a vow to myself
38:00that I would never let Noor shed a single tear.
38:03But today, you've brought me nothing but shame.
38:06Mom, you're still worried about her?
38:08What about your own son?
38:11My marriage is crumbling because of Noor.
38:14Do you have any idea that Arooshma has threatened to leave me?
38:17And why did she threaten you?
38:19She knew perfectly well that Noor would be living here with us, in this house.
38:23Mom, please try to...
38:24Well,
38:26it’s not like Noor has to stay here anymore.
38:29If Sajda is already raising two daughters,
38:32she can look after Noor too,
38:36and if you feel you have to do something for her,
38:39just send her money every month.
38:41No one would object to that.
38:44What are you two talking about?
38:47She was divorced just yesterday,
38:49and you’re already talking about throwing her out?
38:52Mom, I can’t believe this.
38:55It’s the first day of my marriage, Mom!
38:59My reception is tonight,
39:02and you’re still arguing with me?
39:05Salar is right.
39:09Her presence alone has already poisoned the atmosphere in this house.
39:13Just send her away with Sajda.
39:16None of us can tolerate having her here any longer.
39:19I don’t care if anyone can tolerate it or not.
39:23For now, Noor is staying right here, in this house.
39:27Mom.
39:30Dad, do you see this?
39:32Do you see the stress I’m under, while Mom…
39:36Don’t worry. I’ll handle her.
39:38I’ll take care of everything.
