0:23So, you were with Noor.
0:25Is everything alright?
0:27Yes.
0:29I don't approve of that one bit.
0:31She's a married woman,
0:33so being with her at this time of night...
0:35We're a reputable family. We have our principles.
0:38What if I told you that the poor girl was in the hospital?
0:43In the hospital?
0:46Well, in that case, her husband
0:47or her in-laws should have been with her.
0:49Why you?
0:51Mom, she was hospitalized because of her husband's abuse.
0:55He's extremely cruel to that poor girl.
0:58Be that as it may,
0:59he's still her husband.
1:01This is her husband's responsibility and his family's,
1:04not yours.
1:05If her in-laws had shown up at the hospital,
1:08whose side would they have taken?
1:10Their own son's or their daughter-in-law's?
1:13Mom, I've gathered all the information on her.
1:16Her husband doesn't love her.
1:18He tortures her.
1:19She's utterly miserable in her marriage.
1:21Did Noor tell you this herself?
1:24Is she also in love...
1:26No.
1:28I don't know.
1:31But I can't leave her to suffer like this.
1:34Have you fallen in love with her, Zulfiqar Shah?
1:37No.
1:41She's just in a great deal of pain.
1:45That poor girl has endured so much.
1:49You know,
1:51when her father passed away,
1:53her stepmother was going to take her to Hyderabad.
1:56Her aunt forced her into this marriage.
1:58Whatever the circumstances of the marriage,
2:00the fact is she is his wife now.
2:03You can't get this attached.
2:07You have to respect the boundaries.
2:10When my heart commits to someone,
2:13I'll go to any length for them.
2:16You know me, Mom.
2:21With Noor...
2:27I don't know.
2:47Plenty of girls like you have come and gone,
2:53and none of them made a difference.
2:57You have to convince Mom
3:00to let me marry Arooshma.
3:03That's it.
3:05But if you don't do this, Noor,
3:10I’ll make every single day of your life a living hell.
4:01Noor, pick up my call.
4:04Because if you don't,
4:06I'll have to come there myself to make sure you're okay.
4:10Please, answer my call.
4:18Noor, pick up my call.
4:20Because if you don't,
4:22I'll have to come there myself to make sure you're okay.
4:24Please, answer my call.
4:43Hello.
4:46Noor, are you crying?
4:48What's wrong? Did someone say something to you?
4:50Please, just leave me alone.
4:54I can't do that,
4:57and I refuse to stand by while you suffer like this.
5:01Stay away from me!
5:02That's beyond my control.
5:05That man doesn't deserve you at all.
5:08I can decide what's best for me.
5:13Please, never call me again, no matter what.
5:20If you disconnect this call,
5:22anyone who's ever made you suffer is going to have a major problem.
5:27I will come to your house this very second,
5:30and I won't spare a single soul. Got it?
5:32Why won't you understand?
5:35Everything you're doing is only making things more difficult for me.
5:38I'm trying to pull you out of this misery.
5:41Maybe you just don't realize that yet.
5:44You shouldn't be concerned about me.
5:48Well, I am now.
5:50You made a mistake in your life,
5:54but that doesn't mean you have to pay for it for the rest of your days.
5:59I've already told you.
6:00I'm perfectly capable of deciding my own future.
6:03I don't need your advice on what's right or wrong for me.
6:06Do not call me again. Are we clear?
7:09Wherever you are, I'm coming for you, Noor.
7:12I'm coming.
7:46Now, if you ever hurt Noor even slightly again,
7:51I'll show you exactly
7:53who Zulfiqar Shah is.
7:56Mark my words.
8:14Zara.
8:21Zara.
8:23You're okay, aren't you?
8:25I had such an awful nightmare about you last night.
8:31Why are you so quiet?
8:33Are you even listening to me?
8:36In that nightmare, you saw things exactly as they are.
8:42What's wrong?
8:43Aren't you happy at your aunt's house?
8:46According to your own wishes,
8:48you're finally married to Salar.
8:51Isn't this what you've always wanted?
8:53To finally have the man you love.
8:56Now that you've tied the knot, what's the issue?
9:00Yes.
9:04That is what I wanted.
9:07Isn't Salar your true hero?
9:10Just like the leading men in films and dramas.
9:12Loving, caring.
9:15That's the real tragedy.
9:21We lead ourselves to believe that the person we love is a true hero.
9:32The heart creates this delusion that
9:37they're the most refined and noble person on earth.
9:41We project all those virtues onto them
9:43that we've conjured up in our own imagination.
9:47We tell ourselves they'll understand us
9:52and they'll respect our feelings.
9:56Zara.
9:58You know, sometimes a hero becomes the villain.
10:03Why don't we girls ever see that coming?
10:08And when he does turn evil…
10:11When he finally shows his true colors and hurts you,
10:17it doesn't take long to lose your mind.
10:25I just wish
10:28he weren't the man he turned out to be.
10:32Please, just tell me. You're starting to worry me.
10:36You don't sound like yourself at all.
10:38Tell me what's wrong.
10:40Zara.
10:42Zara, I don't know how to tell you,
10:44how to even begin to explain what's happened to me.
10:48But you're the only one who'd understand,
10:53and you know that I'd be telling the truth.
10:57You will believe me, won't you?
11:03Hey, we're childhood friends.
11:06You can tell me anything.
11:10Who knows, talking about it might help you get it off your chest.
11:13Zara, I can't even begin to tell you what I've been through.
12:19Why isn't anyone eating?
12:21Please, start your breakfast.
12:25What's done is done.
12:28Skipping meals isn't going to change anything.
12:33Sometimes, we're the ones who completely misjudge people.
12:39Farah?
12:40Yes?
12:41Come on now, serve the breakfast.
12:43-Of course. -No.
12:45I'm not having breakfast. I'll just have tea.
12:51How's your injury? Did you see a doctor?
12:54Dad,
12:56I was thinking of going to the doctor.
12:57I'll get a CT scan just to make sure there are no internal injuries.
13:04Good.
13:05Come straight to the office when you're done.
13:07Yes, Dad. That's what I was thinking too.
13:10I'll just head to the office
13:11because the atmosphere in this house is becoming suffocating.
13:16Alright.
13:24Greetings.
13:39Sorry, Mom,
13:41but I can't sit here and eat right now.
13:44Please tell Shakeela to send breakfast to my room.
14:09Sister, at least have some breakfast.
14:20Oh, that poor woman.
14:23She hasn't even touched her breakfast, and it's all because of you.
14:26You've really upset her.
14:32I'll go and talk to her.
14:48Funny how fast the tables can turn, no?
14:53Isn't this the very same house?
14:56The one where our dear Miss Noor dreamed of living a life of luxury.
15:02Always.
15:03This is where you were once treated like royalty, right?
15:06Now, you'll live in this house as a complete outcast.
15:11Look how they all scurried away from you, as if you were...
15:13Hey, hey, wait!
15:16I'm not finished talking to you.
15:18I'm not finished yet.
15:21So, are you filing for separation,
15:23or is Salar going to divorce you?
15:26Because the plot thickens by the day.
15:29The other guy isn't someone to be trifled with either.
15:35Oh, and listen. Thank you.
15:37You've cleared the way for me.
15:40Now, nothing can stop Salar from being mine.
17:03Good morning, sir.
17:30This is where you were once treated like royalty, right?
17:33Now, you'll live in this house as a complete outcast.
17:37Look how they all scurried away from you, as if you were...
17:42Greetings.
18:37If you don't pick up my call this time,
18:40I'll be forced to come to your house to check on you.
18:45Pick up the call.
19:01Hello?
19:05Noor, are you alright?
19:12Answer me. I'm worried about you.
19:14You threatened me into picking up this call,
19:18saying you'd come here and cause a scene if I didn't.
19:23Whether I choose to speak or not is up to me, isn't it?
19:28Nice.
19:30It's good to hear you standing up for yourself.
19:33For God's sake, just leave me alone.
19:36I'm a married woman.
19:38You're married to a man who doesn't deserve you at all.
19:43Salar doesn't value you.
19:45He's dating countless other women and cheating on you.
19:49You deserve so much better, Noor.
19:52You're lying!
19:55You're just trying to manipulate me, aren't you?
19:57Lying and deceit are not in Zulfiqar Shah's nature.
20:02I’m sending you proof of your husband’s infidelity.
20:06Take a look for yourself,
20:08and then decide.
20:47Why do you care so much about me?
20:49What are you to me, anyway?
20:53I know we’re nothing to each other.
20:56But I want to help you, simply out of human decency.
21:01How am I supposed to believe these photos are real?
21:04They could just be AI-generated, couldn't they?
21:06As I said,
21:08Zulfiqar Shah has never deceived anyone.
21:12It's just not in my nature.
21:14Whatever Salar is or isn't, it's none of your concern.
21:24He's my husband, and I've accepted my fate.
21:28Oh, please!
21:29Cut the nonsense!
21:33Don't tell me you think your love and loyalty
21:36will somehow redeem that degenerate.
21:40Only fools drive themselves to an early grave
21:42trying to set vile men like him straight.
22:03Listen.
22:05You deserve to be happy, just like any other woman.
22:10Don't ruin your life for him.
22:15Make a choice
22:17that won't leave you suffocating for the rest of your days.
22:20Immoral men like him can never belong to just one woman.
22:24He will never be loyal to you.
22:27Mark my words.
22:44How many more people are you going to humiliate me in front of?
22:48How could you stoop so low?
22:56I thought you were someone else entirely,
23:00but look what you've turned out to be.
23:30So, Mom,
23:33you have to give me credit.
23:36I brought you here at the perfect time, didn't I?
23:39Yes.
23:41You've certainly done one thing right.
23:43Mom,
23:45this is the perfect chance to finally get Noor out of this house for good.
23:50Oh, yes.
23:51Salar is already over her anyway.
23:55Besides, it's not just Salar. Didn't you see Aunt?
23:59She used to sing Noor's praises all the time, and today?
24:04The moment she saw her,
24:06she stormed away from the breakfast table in front of everyone.
24:10And it did my heart a world of good.
24:14I was pretty satisfied myself.
24:17Oh, the very same Sister Anjum whose endless praise of Noor
24:20drove me out of my mind.
24:22Now I'm glad everyone finally saw her true colors.
24:27Look, Farah,
24:29this is the perfect opportunity for you.
24:32How so?
24:34Now you have to act like a saint in front of everyone.
24:38Especially Sister Anjum.
24:40You need to take such good care of her
24:43that when she looks at you, you're all she sees.
24:47Oh, leave that to me, Mom.
24:52I know exactly how to wrap Aunt around my little finger.
24:54It's a piece of cake for me.
25:44Aunt, I brought you some tea.
25:48But I didn't ask for any.
25:51Look at you, Aunt.
25:53You seem so worried,
25:55sitting with your head in your hands.
25:57I figured you might have a headache,
25:59so I made you some tea.
26:01You shouldn't have gone to the trouble, dear.
26:03You could've just asked Shakeela to bring it.
26:05Well, you should try my tea for a change.
26:07I'm sure you'll love it.
26:09Besides, there are plenty of people in this house to give you a headache.
26:15You don't have to worry about a thing.
26:18As long as I'm here,
26:21I'll take care of you,
26:23and you know, not everyone will turn out to be ungrateful.
26:31Thank you, dear.
26:33Aunt, I need to talk to you about something.
26:36I have nothing to say to you.
26:39Have Shakeela send my tea to my room.
26:41I'll bring it myself, Aunt.
26:48You must have a headache, too.
26:51I'll have the maid make you some tea as well.
26:54Oh, how things change.
27:18Mom's deadline is almost up.
27:21I know.
27:24Then you must remember the target she set for you.
27:29I remember everything.
27:31You just focus on preparing to be a bride.
27:35My parents will come to your house.
27:37I promise, and we will definitely get married.
27:41You seem quite confident.
27:44I've already made a move,
27:48and the outcome is crystal clear.
27:52What on earth have you done?
27:54Don't worry about what I've done.
27:58Just remember that the promise I made to you and your parents,
28:05I will definitely keep it.
28:08Besides, I haven't left Mom any other option.
28:11There's only one way out now.
28:13She has to arrange our wedding herself.
28:17What about Noor?
28:18Will she just let you go?
28:21I've heard she's in love with you.
28:27So? Let her be.
28:29She's not the only girl in the world in love with me,
28:33but as for me,
28:35I'm only in love with you.
28:41You never did tell me why you don't like her.
28:46She's quite nice.
28:47Beautiful, and graceful, too.
28:52She's an incredibly sheltered woman,
28:55and I'm not a fan of sheltered women.
28:58I like girls like you.
29:01Bold and beautiful.
29:04Although, to be fair, I haven't actually done anything of the sort.
29:06You'll have to trust me on this.
29:08But looking at Noor, she seems like the type of girl
29:12who panics like crazy and starts clutching her scarf
29:14if a man so much as looks at her.
29:16Covering up like she’s a relic from another era.
29:18I mean, come on.
29:19It's the twenty-first century.
29:21Who does that anymore?
29:23She's just not my type.
29:24I certainly hope so.
29:26I have to admit that's a huge relief.
29:29My insecurities have lessened knowing that you're not interested in her.
29:32You shouldn't feel insecure about a girl like Noor.
29:36Arooshma, you and Noor are night and day.
29:39There's no comparison.
29:41Now come on, your soup's getting cold.
29:42Hurry up and finish it. I’ll have mine, too.
29:43It's absolutely delicious.
29:57Well?
29:59Have you spoken to Zulfiqar already?
30:01So, did he agree to the wedding?
30:02He's not a child.
30:04I don't know why you're hoping he'll change his mind.
30:07You keep saying the same thing over and over.
30:09I'm actually surprised at Maria and her father.
30:12He's insulted her countless times,
30:14yet she still doesn't get the hint.
30:17You should really convince your friend
30:19to marry his daughter off to someone else.
30:22It's not my friend who needs to be convinced, it's Zulfiqar.
30:27Zulfiqar has already made it perfectly clear that he will not marry Maria.
30:31And I also made it perfectly clear
30:34that I'd see to his wedding myself the moment I got back.
30:36You know what he's like.
30:39He'll never agree.
30:41How many times are you going to say that to me?
30:44It seems both you and your son have forgotten the kind of man I am.
30:48It looks like I'll have to remind you.
30:51Go ahead and try. Go on.
30:54But Zulfiqar will never agree to marry Maria, and neither will I.
30:59Oh,
31:01so now you object as well?
31:04And what's your issue with it?
31:06I don't like the girl.
31:08She doesn't seem like the type to settle down.
31:10I just can't see her as my daughter-in-law.
31:12It's Zulfiqar Shah's approval that's needed for this wedding.
31:16Not yours.
31:17After lording it over me all my life,
31:20you expect Zulfiqar to obey you, too?
31:25Zulfiqar has never put business or money before his relationships.
31:29He's my son.
31:31He's not the kind of person
31:32who'd use a woman as a stepping stone for business.
31:37Just stop this nonsense.
31:39I have an important call coming through.
31:43I'm starting to think I'll have to come there myself and set you both straight.
31:46There's no need for that.
31:48You stay right where you are.
31:50Stay where you're most comfortable.
32:29Noor.
32:39You've spoken to Mom, right?
32:43No.
32:51Why?
32:53Why haven't you spoken to her yet?
32:55Look, I've explained this so nicely to you.
33:00I told you to go to Mom and just get her
33:05to arrange my wedding with Arooshma.
33:08It's a simple request.
33:10You just don't get it, do you?
33:12Now you're forcing my hand,
33:15and I really don't want to go there.
33:17Aunt is angry with me.
33:20She's not even letting me into her room.
33:24Well, obviously, she's going to be angry.
33:27How else is she supposed to act after what happened?
33:35But then again, you never listen to me either.
33:39I told you so many times.
33:42I told you not to mess with me.
33:46Don't cross me. You won't win this.
33:48But you went ahead and did it anyway.
33:51Now look at the consequences.
33:53What did that get you?
33:55She was your only supporter,
33:58and I've already turned her against you.
34:01So please, go and talk to her. Please.
34:05I will not talk to her.
34:07Do your worst.
34:09You won't talk?
34:11You just don't get it, do you?
34:13Are you out of your mind?
34:14Is your head full of rocks or something?
34:16What?
34:17What do you want?
34:20How many times do I have to tell you that I don't love you?
34:24I'm being forced to live with you.
34:27Now go to Mom.
34:30Look at me.
34:34Go to Mom and tell her to get me married to Arooshma.
34:40If you don't, it's not going to end well.
34:42And what if I refuse?
34:48Then I'll divorce you.
34:52You can't do that.
34:55Those are just empty threats.
35:02You shouldn't have said that.
35:06Fine.
35:08Have it your way. I won't do it.
35:14At least, not in front of everyone.
35:17Alright then.
35:20How about this?
35:24I'll divorce you right here, right now.
35:32No one will ever know,
35:35and when you go crying to everyone later,
35:40I'll deny everything.
35:42I’ll claim it never happened,
35:44and that you’re lying straight-up.
35:47Come here.
35:50Noor, you know exactly what I want, don't you?
35:54Oh,
35:56I'm still going to marry Arooshma.
35:59She'll be my second wife, and she'll live right here,
36:02under your very nose.
36:04I’ll treasure her while I drag you through torment.
36:08I'll make your life a living hell.
36:12You'll spend the best years of your life withering away in this house.
36:17If that's the life you want for yourself, so be it.
36:20It's okay.
36:22We can stay married.
36:24In fact, it's better for me, isn't it?
36:26I’ll have two wives.
36:29How low can you stoop?
36:36That's a good question. It really is.
36:38At least you're starting to see just how low I can go,
36:42and trust me, I can stoop much lower.
36:45But unfortunately, you have no idea the depths I'm willing to stoop to, Noor.
36:52So,
36:55I’m telling you nicely, for the last time.
36:58Go to Mom.
37:00Go and convince her to agree to our divorce.
37:06You know,
37:09she'll actually listen to you if you ask.
37:14Tell her to arrange my marriage to Arooshma,
37:19because we can't live together anymore.
37:22Then everything will be sorted.
37:25You can wither away in a corner of this house,
37:28and I won't say a thing to you, alright?
37:32Go upstairs and talk to her. You have until tonight.
37:42That's your only chance.
37:45If you don't talk to her by tonight...
37:53Does that hurt?
37:55Look, you know what, this isn't who I am.
37:59You're the one who pushed me to this.
38:03Just listen to me.
38:05I really don't like treating you like this.
38:09I'm a good person.
38:11I'm not as bad as you think.
38:14Do as I say, or find out exactly what comes with being my wife.
