0:32This room is filled with memories of Hoor.
0:36That's why I try to avoid coming here.
0:39This was her room.
0:41I'd like to stay in this room.
0:46Alright.
0:49Stay wherever you'd like.
0:54I won't object.
0:57I know
1:00you didn't happily choose to come back.
1:07That's why I have just one request.
1:13Please, find it in your heart to forgive me.
1:19I know what you've been through hasn't been easy.
1:30It's going to take time.
1:33I'll wait.
1:36Take all the time you need,
1:40but please, forgive me.
1:44I'll have our things moved.
1:47I'd like to stay alone in this room for now.
1:54Okay.
1:56If you want to stay alone, I'll leave you be.
2:01I have no objections.
2:05I ordered dinner for you.
2:10Auntie said you didn't even have lunch.
2:14Surely you can at least dine with me?
2:21I don't think you should have any issue with that.
2:25After all, it's my responsibility to take care of you.
2:34I'll have dinner served. Please come.
3:16After examining all evidence and the statements of witnesses,
3:22this court has reached the conclusion
3:26that the accused, Iftikhar Shah,
3:28plotted the murder of his daughter-in-law,
3:31Hoor Zulfiqar, for his own personal gain.
3:36Therefore,
3:37upon being found guilty of Hoor's murder,
3:39the court sentences the accused, Iftikhar Shah,
3:43to life imprisonment under Section 302 of the Pakistan Penal Code.
4:28Noor, how long are you going to stay angry with me?
4:30What did you expect?
4:33That just because I'm back, everything is back to normal?
4:37I admit, there were mistakes.
4:43But can't we both try to rectify them...
4:44We?
4:49No.
4:52Not we.
4:53Me.
4:54It was my fault.
4:57You're right.
4:59The fault was entirely yours.
5:01I know, but can't you give me just one chance to make things right?
5:09I promise you.
5:12This senseless rage,
5:14the constant fighting, and these weapons... I'll rid myself of them all.
5:18I deserve one more chance.
5:21Please.
5:22Do whatever you want, Zulfiqar Shah.
5:25I'm not staying with you anymore.
5:31My decision is final.
5:34You'll forget everything just like that?
5:37Those moments...
5:39the happy times we spent together.
5:41Perhaps I could forget all that,
5:44but how could I forget that the very house my sister entered
5:55so joyfully as a bride is where her murder was orchestrated?
6:05Besides, am I really expected to be happy now that
6:11her killer is punished?
6:17I can never forget any of this, Zulfiqar Shah.
6:26My sister was murdered for the crime of loving you.
6:35Her life was taken just to keep her away from you.
6:45So, who's to blame?
6:48You tell me.
6:51You may not be the murderer,
6:54but you were the motive, weren't you?
6:59Hoor gave her life loving you,
7:10but what did it matter to you?
7:14You just married me.
7:20If it wasn't me, it would've been someone else.
7:23Right?
7:25Noor, you've got this all wrong.
7:27The reason I married you was...
7:29Whatever the reason,
7:32I've made my decision. I'm moving to England.
7:37Don't worry,
7:40I'll make sure your child is with you before I go,
7:47but you won't be able to stop me
7:51because I'm going to sever the rights you have over me before I leave.
8:59Leave that.
9:02First things first, you need to eat.
9:04Iram told me you haven't eaten a thing.
9:07You're not taking care of yourself, Noor.
9:10Here you go.
9:11I made these sandwiches for you with my own two hands.
9:15Quick, have a bite and tell me what you think.
9:17Okay, first try this sausage.
9:18I'm not hungry.
9:20Please, take it away.
9:22It's just a starter, try it.
9:24Come on, just one bite. Eat up.
9:26There you go.
9:27Now try the sandwich.
9:29There's no ketchup, but I'm sure you'll love it.
9:32What's wrong?
9:34What happened?
9:35Noor?
9:36Noor!
9:42What's wrong?
9:43Did you throw up?
9:43I just threw up a little. It's nothing.
9:45You're okay, right? Sit here.
9:46Sit down.
9:48Here you go.
9:50Drink some water.
9:51Drink up.
10:00Are you okay?
10:03Need some medicine?
12:56Yes, sir?
12:59Got the licenses?
13:00Yes, sir.
13:01Here you go.
13:04Take this one too.
13:05Sure.
13:07Take this one as well.
13:08Right, sir.
13:10You've seen Mr. Jawad's arms shop, haven't you?
13:12Yes, sir.
13:15Go deposit these there.
14:48Are you with Noor?
14:49Doctor, is everything alright?
14:51Yes, absolutely. It's a boy.
14:53Doctor.
14:54Doctor, is Noor alright?
14:56Can I see her?
14:57Of course you can.
14:58Many, many congratulations, my dear.
15:03-I need to see Noor. -Of course.
15:08He looks just like you.
15:19This is a joyous occasion. Why the tears?
15:22These are tears of joy, Mom.
15:27He's finally here to call me dad.
15:30I just hope he doesn't inherit his father's temperament.
15:33He should be like his mother.
15:39My temperament was never the best, was it?
15:41Come on, let me hold him.
15:48Every child is born good.
15:51People are not born wicked.
15:54It's their circumstances in life that lead them down the wrong path.
16:00Deep down, all parents want to raise their children right,
16:06and I'm certain you two will do a wonderful job raising him.
16:11Hush now.
16:20Noor?
16:23Thank you.
16:27Are you alright?
17:10Well, look who's awake.
17:12Hello. Good morning.
17:14Open your eyes.
17:15Look at me. Look at me.
17:17Hello.
17:18Hello.
17:19Hello.
17:21Yes, sir? You called for me?
17:22Yes, please bring our tea out here,
17:26and in exactly one hour,
17:27make sure you give Noor her medicine.
17:29Please do not forget.
17:30Of course, sir.
17:37Here, Noor, let me hold him.
17:48There we go, daddy's little prince.
17:50Come here, little guy. Come to your dad.
17:53He's so adorable, isn't he?
17:56What are you plotting?
18:00I know exactly what you're up to.
18:02You're going to keep your mom awake all night long, aren't you?
18:08Don't you worry,
18:09your dad's here to take care of you.
18:14I won't be going to the office for a few days.
18:15I'll be the one to look after little Mr. Shah.
18:21Little Mr. Shah.
18:22Noor,
18:24you need to focus on your health.
18:30Don't worry about him at all.
18:32I'm here.
18:33I'll take good care of him.
18:34Come, Mujtaba, let me show you your dad's house.
18:37Look at this.
18:39It's a beautiful house, isn't it?
18:40The breeze here is just wonderful.
18:46Do you want to go outside? Let's go.
18:49Let me tell you,
18:50when you get bigger,
18:51your dad is going to buy you lots of toys,
18:54and we'll play with them together.
18:58Come here, my sweet boy.
19:01You know,
19:03Iftikhar never kept his children close to his heart.
19:06He always kept them at arm's length.
19:13As for me, well, he ruled my life.
19:19I always thought he would change after the children were born,
19:21but he never did.
19:27So I kept quiet,
19:29afraid of what society would say.
19:36But let me tell you something,
19:39my silence took a heavy toll on my children.
19:50That's why I'm telling you,
19:51whatever misunderstandings there are between you and Zulfiqar,
19:54you need to sort them out.
19:59Otherwise,
20:00the friction between parents
20:05can severely hinder a child's personality development.
20:13Please, think about what I've said.
22:21Mujtaba was with you, wasn't he? Where is he?
22:24Mujtaba is with his grandmother.
22:27She's spoiling him rotten.
22:30Listen,
22:32Mom's organized a celebration at home this weekend
22:34for Mujtaba's naming ceremony.
22:37Fine. You all can do whatever you want.
22:40Miss Noor,
22:41I've put your luggage in the car.
22:43Okay.
22:44Tell the driver I'm coming.
22:46Sure.
22:49Luggage?
22:51Are you going somewhere?
22:53I already told you.
22:55I had plans to move to England after Mujtaba's birth, didn't I?
23:00Noor, are you actually leaving?
23:07Why the surprise?
23:10I just thought, maybe
23:13you'd had a change of heart.
23:14No, why would I change my mind?
23:19I apologized. Haven't you forgiven me?
23:24I have forgiven you.
23:25Then why are you leaving?
23:30You know,
23:34after Dad died, I was left homeless.
23:37Bouncing from your house to Aunt's.
23:41I was exhausted from being shuttled back and forth.
23:48I finally understand why I was so unwelcome everywhere.
23:52It's because I couldn't stand on my own two feet.
23:59I couldn't support myself.
24:02That's when I realized
24:04how essential an education is for a woman.
24:08So that when hard times come,
24:12she can face the world.
24:15So she won't be dependent on anyone.
24:18She'll never have to beg for anything.
24:20So she can make a home for herself.
24:22Noor, if that's all this is about,
24:26I'll sign this house over to you, my business, my properties, everything.
24:30I don't want your charity because I'm afraid of your love.
24:35Who knows when it will just end?
24:37You could get angry and abandon me again.
24:39It wouldn't be difficult for you to take it all back.
24:43Your father built his entire empire that way, didn't he?
24:46Through force and intimidation.
24:48Noor, I'm not like my dad.
24:50I could never be cruel or unjust to anyone, especially not you.
24:53And about your education,
24:55you want to study, right?
24:56I'm more than willing to support you.
24:59Go to any university in the world you want.
25:01You want to go to England? Then let's go.
25:02I'll go with you, and Mujtaba will come with us.
25:05Just please, don't leave me like this.
25:07This is just you being obstinate, isn't it?
25:09Huh?
25:10You're being stubborn again, aren't you?
25:16You said you had changed.
25:20You know what the problem is?
25:22You will never change, Zulfiqar Shah.
25:25You're set in your ways.
25:28I've made it clear I don't want to live with you,
25:30so why are you still trying to dictate to me?
25:32Why?
25:34Fine, then.
25:35Go on, keep me here against my will.
25:37Lock me in a room.
25:39Better yet, call your guards.
25:41Post them outside my door.
25:43But even then,
25:45I will never accept this relationship with you.
25:53Alright, Noor.
25:57You're right.
26:01If you really don't want to be with me,
26:05then who am I to force you?
26:11Who am I to pressure you into anything?
26:19Do as you wish.
26:22If you want to leave,
26:26then go.
26:29I won't stop you.
26:39I love you more than anything, that's why I...
29:13What are you doing?
29:14Please, forgive my daughters and me, love.
29:18I've already forgiven you.
29:21I hold nothing against you.
29:29God has punished me for what I've done.
29:39I've finally learned my lesson, my dear.
29:43It wasn't just me who was punished for the injustice I did to you.
29:50My daughters have paid the price as well.
29:53Mehwish has been divorced again, and my Farah...
29:58she's now a widow.
30:04Just one month after her wedding,
30:07her husband died in an accident.
30:14And the doctor...
30:16the doctor told me I have cancer.
30:25Why are you so distraught, Sajda?
30:28We're here for you.
30:29We'll make sure you get treatment, Sajda.
30:32You're going to be just fine.
30:34Please don't worry.
30:39You're all I have.
30:41After God, you're the only one, Sister.
30:52When my own brother and sister-in-law heard about my illness,
30:56they just turned their backs on me.
31:01They were probably afraid they'd have
31:04to spend their own money on my treatment,
31:11so they threw me out of the house.
31:14Cancer is treatable.
31:17Please don't cry.
31:21My whole life, I harbored a grudge against you,
31:28but today, you've proven to be closer to me than my own flesh and blood.
31:35If you hadn't come looking for me in Hyderabad
31:38and brought me back here,
31:40I don't know what would've become of me.
31:43I don't know what would've become of me...
31:45That's enough, Sajda.
31:46Please don't cry.
31:48It's alright.
31:49We should be grateful to God for showing us the right path,
32:00for giving us a chance to do good,
32:03to repent,
32:06and to seek forgiveness.
32:12Besides, God is all-forgiving and merciful.
32:15He always forgets.
32:20He must have forgiven all of us.
32:26You and me, all of us.
32:38Now, come with me to the center.
32:44Today, we're holding a Holy Quran completion ceremony
32:49for the orphan girls at the welfare center.
32:52This is so wonderful, Aunt.
32:56I'm so happy to see you embracing life again.
33:03You know what,
33:05Farah and Mehwish will be assisting me.
33:10I've officially hired them.
33:16Sister, I don't know how I'll ever repay you for your favor.
33:19This isn't a favor.
33:21They'll be earning their salaries by working there.
33:25Soon, they'll both be standing on their own two feet,
33:29and they are the ones who will eventually run this welfare center.
33:34Murtaza and I have decided to donate all our property to the orphanage.
33:47We will build a system
33:49so that the children here can get an education and,
33:53in turn, help other orphans.
33:59This is a great act of charity, Sister.
34:03You will be greatly rewarded for this.
34:07Yes, Sajda,
34:10and please, pray for Salar's salvation.
34:17May he be at peace, wherever he is.
34:23Amen.
34:38Aunt?
34:47-I just wanted to ask you that... -I know
34:50you're leaving for England on a flight tomorrow morning
34:53to stand on your own two feet,
34:55build your strength,
34:57and become independent.
35:00So, your new beginning starts today.
35:03Don't ask me for anything.
35:06I'm not going to tell you what to do anymore.
35:10I told you, didn't I?
35:12After the baby is born,
35:13the decision will be yours to make.
35:18It's your choice now.
35:22Shall we go, Sajda?
35:35May you always be happy, my child.
36:25Why are you so distrustful of Zulfiqar Shah?
36:27He's a very good man.
36:30You've completely misunderstood him.
36:32Whatever misunderstandings there are between you and Zulfiqar,
36:35you need to sort them out.
36:39Otherwise, the friction between parents
36:44can severely hinder a child's personality development.
36:48If you don't want to be with me,
36:51then who am I to force you?
37:39You?
37:44Are you here to try to force me again?
37:46No, I’m not here to force you.
38:02You said earlier, Noor,
38:04that you didn’t have a home to call your own.
38:11I’ve put my house in your name.
38:16No one can ever throw you out of that house again.
38:22You could have given this to me at the airport.
38:29I’m not coming to the airport to see you off.
38:31And why not?
38:34Because if I do,
38:36I won’t be able to let you go,
38:42and then you’ll accuse me of imposing my will on you.
38:51Even now, if you hadn’t come out,
38:54I wouldn’t have met you. I would have just left.
38:59If you still want to go, then please, go inside and rest.
39:06I’ll wait here for a little while, and then I will leave.
39:12Showing up in the pouring rain like this
39:15is just your way of getting what you want, isn’t it?
39:26Why can’t you see how much I love you, Noor?
39:30Why do you think I’m forcing you into this?
39:33All my feelings,
39:35my emotions, do you not feel any of it?
39:42The love,
39:43the passion I have for you, does none of it register with you?
39:48I know my way of showing it is different from others,
39:50but my love is genuine.
39:55I know that even if I were to get down on my knees and beg you,
40:01telling you how much I love you and that I can’t live without you,
40:05you still wouldn’t believe me.
40:08You would never believe me.
40:12Just go.
40:15Wait!
40:22I will believe you.
40:25If you get down on your knees
40:26and tell me you can’t live without me, then I’ll believe you.
40:50I don’t want anything.
40:57I was just testing you.
40:59I wanted to see if you would try to force me,
41:05or if you would give me wings to fly.
41:11I turned down the scholarship.
41:14What?
41:15How could I possibly leave you?
41:19Noor.
41:22Noor, why would you turn it down?
41:24This was your dream, what you always wanted.
41:26You’re going.
41:27You are going to take that scholarship back.
41:28Mujtaba is still very young,
41:30and he needs me right now.
41:32Besides, I will continue my studies,
41:34I absolutely will, because you’ll be by my side.
41:38But first, you have to promise me.
41:41Promise me you won’t get into fights for no reason,
41:46and that you’ll always trust me.
41:50You’ll respect me,
41:52and you’ll cherish me with all your heart.
41:56Promise?
42:03Noor Zulfiqar.
42:06Will you spend the rest of your life with me?
42:15I never properly proposed to you, did I?
42:17So, I’m asking you now.
42:18So tell me,
42:20is it a yes?
