...This greenery and this sky...
Maha dear, why are you taking so much time?
Mom, I am coming. Just 5 minutes
Film will start soon and you know the situation of traffic
Mom, please stop bothering. I said I am coming.
Shafaq will kill me.
Daughter, how much garbage have you spread. I want to switch off news channel. Where is your remote?
Maha dear, please hurry up.
Honk the horn one more time.
I am honking horn for 10 minutes. Why dont you go and get them?
I am not going but let me call her
And the way you are honking the horn, she will never get out.
Oh God
Aunty Shafaq is unbelievable.
Give me 5 minutes.
5 minutes? We are honking the horn and waiting for half an hour. What's the problem?
Well, there is no problem. Just Maha is taking shower.
Oh God. She needs this much time for shower?
You know we had to go for movie. Why didn't she get dressed earlier?
This is not her mistake. I awoke her late.
Masooma, we also have to pick Zoni. And then 10 thousand signals in the way. I am sure we will miss the movie.
Wait for 5 minutes. She will get out.
I am going to give her tickets.
- Masooma! - I am sorry, sorry
Take these tickets and come on your own when Maha get ready. - Masooma! - I am sorry, sorry
Take these tickets and come on your own when Maha get ready.
I am really sorry.
Masooma, it became your ped line, friend. I dont know why you make such plans if you have to do this.
And its always something about Maha. Either she is not ready or her shoes are missing or she is sleeping or she is in shower.
You are spoiling her like a 2 years old child.
You are the one to regret this afterwards.
I am sorry.
- Now, dont give me lectures on parenting. I dont want to waster my time.
Like you will listen to me this way.
Now, come on your own and dont cancel the plan. I will be waiting for you.
Shafaq!
Thank God, she is gone.
....Slowly, slowly in the nights....
....come you in hiding....
.....sleep (x2)....
.....absorb in pillows.....
.....sleep (you come) (x2)....
Nice castle.
How much I like sea.
When we get old
Take me to sea like this every weekend.
If you are as beautiful when old.
I promise, I will take you here.
And if I use this condition for you as well, then it would be difficult for you.
No, never.
I am not going to get old.
I would rather die young.
What happened?
Who will take me to sea then?
Maha?
Maha will take me there
What's this?
Masooma, I was just kidding
Yaar (friend)
I was kidding
Masooma
Mama,I am ready, let's go.
If we get late, then Shafaq aunt will get angry.
She is gone now.
What?
She didn't wait for us?
That's not nice, mama.
Maha
If we would've departed early. We would've been sitting in cinema right now.
Look at traffic.
And a signal at every corner.
Film will be ended before we reach there.
Waste of ticket...
And we have spoiled mood of Shafaq too.
I was getting dressed
Dear, you always do this. Whenever they come to pick us.
You do this.
You halt everything.
Then don't make plans with them
I enjoy more when I am alone with you.
We dont have family here.
Aunt Shafaq is the closest friend I have
And if we dont meet them, then who?
If we dont meet anyone, then what worse could happen ?
Its a night program.
- Pick and drop, atleast it would've helped us. - What help?
Do you have any idea about the queue on CNG station?
Now, we also have to go there too now.
I was trying to save that hour.
I dont like when Uncle Abbas come (with her).
Now, what Abbas did?
Jony get over excited.
Whenever she is with her father, she acts like she is a baby.
Papa, I want this, I want that. Papa, I want to do this and that.
Now listen
Where do you want to go for dinner later?
Is Nandos is still your favorite?
Tell me?
Ah! A new signal.
By the way, did you hear new gossip?
- What? - Sara's mum married second time.
- Who told you?
Farhan, his mother went to her wedding.
Oh sad.
But I have proposed your name
Its not possible that you avoid this workshop
Rizwan sir, I understand
But I am a single parent.
And I dont want to leave my daughter for three days
I can understand your issue.
But I want you to find solution.
Everytime
In last three years, you always made this excuse for this workshop
Do you even realize how much you are damaging your career?
And not only career
- And doing injustice to this organization too. - Frankly speaking, I dont have an option
Masooma, you are very previous for this organization.
But I can see your priorities are changing.
Not only your edge but your focus, dedication and your attitude
you are losing all that
- Which is very disappointing You know, I am really sorry.
That I am damaging this company
But I really do not have an option.
And I am sorry you feel that way
Perfect
You should've gone to workshop.
Don't talk to me in negative tone.
All I am saying, workshop was very useful for your career.
- And Maha? - You could've have dropped her at my home. I could've looked after her.
I can't leave her.
- You know how much she is attached with me - Not attached, but possessive about you. And its your doing.
Shafaq, try to understand me. My daughter has no one besides me.
To whom she could discuss matter.
Last week, she watched some disturbing movie.
In which a sick man, sexually abused a young teenager girl.
Since that day, she is upset.
And she come to my room crying at midnight.
Masooma
I am saying this, its important for us to grow mentally as we grow physically.
I am not saying, you two shouldn't be separated.
But for Maha to grow up, you should give her some space.
Let her be a little bit more independent.
How long you will be her crutches?
Trust me Masooma, this is not good for your child.
Mummy
You know, Sara's mother did a second marriage.
I see.
Her step father is a pilot.
Good
But Sara is very upset.
She needs some time to adjust.
She will get better.
I dont think so
Maha, her mother married after some thought.
Dont know
Yesterday, in class
girls were doing weird gossips.
about her new father.
Maha, that's really bad
Mom, All were talking except me.
I feel sorry for Sara.
She is facing all embarrassment.
Anyway, come here
Take this
Please come in.
Come Masooma
I would like you to meet...
Jamal Ahmad
- He is going to join us as the marketing manager for Sigma Pakistan. - Joe?
-What a pleasant surprise -What pleasant here is that you still remember me.
- How are you? -Where is Popy, how she is?
You guys know each other?
Sir he is my best friend's younger brother.
Jamal Ahmad
Its alright, its alright.
And she is best friend of my elder sister.
Moe. (Nickname)
Then you will feel good handling your best friend as client.
Sir, we are in for a tough time.
She is saying this because she didn't win argument against me
Lie
Please have a seat
Popy disappeared after going to America. You did the same.
You too did the same after marriage.
I moved out from Islamabad to Karachi. I had busy schedules in Karachi. So, it was difficult for me to get in touch.
But after Popy went to America
She didn't contact me
She had a lot of issues to deal with.
And she was pretty upset for a long time.
Then she started her Phd. So, she cut off her relations with world.
She talk about you off and on.
You are not something to forget about.
Anyway,Tell me about yourself, where were you and what are you doing
Nothing. Unemployed and desperately looking for job
Please
Dont be so humble
You are not the one to be looking for job.
I got degree from New York, from Cornell
Then I started working for this company.
For that I moved out to Singapore. After working for two years, I went to Australia.
Finally, I told them I want to get back here.
- Means, you almost traveled whole world. -You could say that
-Half before marriage and half after -Married? got kids?
Joe, dont tell me you are single.
Anyway, I am not that wise
I did marry
to an American girl.
And
We spent two years somehow (in fighting)
Thank God! we dont have kids.
Otherwise, it would've been hard to keep that relationship.
I am sorry to hear that Joe
Its old now
Anyway
Sorry to hear about Hassan's death
It was a road accident
Popy told me
I thought about calling you a lot.
But I didn't know what to say
He was a lovely person
Yeah, he was that
I have a daughter
Really
What's her name
Maha
She was ten years old, when her father passed away
She was too upset.
You..
didn't think about second marriage
God, no
After spending life with a person like Hassan.
I cant even think of anyone else.
And then...Maha would never accept it.
She was very sensitive
very sensitive girl
I can understand that
tell me about yourself.
Why didn't you get married? You dont even have kids
Hmm..I didn't think on this.
What do you mean?
Now you have come to Pakistan
Then you have to think.
Lets find a girl for you.
Oh please, Moe
Now you beginning to sound like Popy
Whenever she see my face, she starts thinking about my marriage.
What's wrong with that?
You have a good face and a eligible bachelor.
- Why not get married -Moe, I am thirty four.
And I can find a girl if I want to get married.
thirty four
Jamal please, dont try to impress me by your age.
You...
- didn't change a bit. - In which perspective?
- In every perspective.
Out of question
Why
Dont be so naive.
I am not foolish. I am just discussing a proposal
I dont have interest in second marriage.
Please, meet this man one time.
I have to think about Maha
Understand? dont give me weird advices. She is growing up
When will you stop thinking like a sixty year old
I am the mother of fifteen year old.
Then..
Why you get heart attack every 2-3 months?
What's wrong with you
I dont have any issue. If you are comparing it with an attack, then so be it.
I just want you to think from your brain
After 3-4 years, Maha will get admitted in professional college. And then your responsibility will be ended.
Now you are getting options. But then no one will even look at you and you will run out of options.
Then what will you do alone?
Can we talk something else?
No, I am interested in this topic only.
Check this out.
I dont want to see work.
Maha
Maha, come and help me here.
Mama, I have already prepared fruit trifle.
But why are you cooking so many dishes
Aunt Shafaq is coming home?
My family friend is coming..
Family friend? Who?
Remember the friend Popy that I told you about
Yes
Her brother is coming.
They were our neighbours in Islamabad.
Sometimes, It was like I am in friends with Jamal instead of Popy.
We made him wander here and there in city for our tasks
But Mama, you didn't tell me about them before.
We are meeting after several years.
He was not in Pakistan.
I talked to Popy 2-3 times after marriage. But..
I am meeting Jamal after 10-12 years.
Long time
Dont cut it like that
Here he comes.
Salam-Alaikum (Peace be unto you)
Wa-Alaikum Asalam (Peace be unto you too)
You reached somewhere on time, first time.
But I guess, I feel importance of time now.
Oh! I love lilies.
I know that
I am impressed, you still remember
Come inside.
- Wow, nice house - We moved in few years ago.
Isn't it big house for two ?
Yes, we live on upper portion
On ground floor, landlord lives. And he mostly lives with his children in America.
Jamal
- She is my daughter Maha
She is just like her father.
I agree
- Thank you - Very funny, sit here.
You know what he used to call me and Popy
What?
We are just OK
Did I say something wrong?
You are so vain
How did you admire your (former) wife?
I..
used to call her intelligent.
That's why it didn't work Joe.
- Mom, -No, no problem at all.
Your mother, Popy and I are very close since childhood.
I never feel bad about her reply.
- I didn't know about your choice. So, I randomly picked this one. -No, its really cute
Thanks
Although I did tell Popy that I met you.
Actually, I will let you talk to her.
So, Maha
You are in O-levels
- Yeah
Studies would've been tough then.
Wow (Good to hear that)
Its mean that I...
am sitting beside two intelligent people.
And by the way excellent salad.
Maha prepared it.
In our home, lunch or dinner, Maha makes a salad.
Wow Maho.
You are very talent. In that case I will take more salad.
By the way, I made fruit trifle today too.
She made fruit trifle first time.
Alright.
Can you bring trifle? Let me try too.
Listen, she made trifle first time..
Even if you dont like it. Atleast eat some of it.
She is so sensitive. Takes everything to her heart.
Moe, I am not that stupid.
I wasn't lying before either. Salad is good that's why I praised her.
And I am sure she cooked a good desert as well.
And even if I was unmannered...
then I would not have eaten meal here.
- Did I complain? - You are so mean Joe.
Thank You
You know very well that I cook delicious food.
-And you... -Everyone likes the food (s)he prepared.
Oh wow
It looks really nice
Mama
I really like Jamal uncle.
Agree? He is a lovely person.
Do you like him too?
Well, I spent my whole childhood with Popy and Jamal
We are family.
We were neighbor back then
And not like neighbors of today. We spent like whole day in each other home.
We took advantage of Jamal being younger.
He taught us driving.
I tell you a really funny story.
Once Joe was around...
4 years
And what Popy and I did...
we put several colorful hair clips in his head.
And then we took his pictures.
Then we used to tease him by showing those pictures later.
I never knew that you were so naughty.
Look. All children cant be nice like you.
Oh! Thank you. Thank you very much. Atleast you considered me a good girl.
See. Every mother chirp(taunts)....
But we are mostly proud of our children.
She is still like that.
Atleast, apparently.
I can imagine that.
Time can never change some.
-They are ageless -And senseless
Joe?
What?
If you would've met her, you would've felt same.
But you dont have to call her senseless.
Popy this is the difference between you and her.
If I call her this. She wouldn't mind at all.
That's what I like about her.
I missed all the fun.
I really wanted to be with you.
I am sure you did darling.
We miss you badly as well.
Anyway, nevermind.
If I come next time, I will directly land in Karachi.
Tell me how is her daughter?
Who? Maha?
Look at that
- What -Sara's step father.
- Where - He is with Sara's mother.
What are you thinking
nothing
I feel sorry for Sara.
Why?
Cant you see she looks so unhappy.
Uff. There was no fun at all. It was a boring exhibition.
There was not a single better dress.
And did you see the prices?
There was no dress lesser than 8K (~80$)
Wow, lovely flower. Who brought them?
Joe brought them
Who is Joe?
Remember my childhood friend Popy?
Her brother Jamal. His nickname is Joe
That Sigma marketing manager?
Is he married?
- Shut up Shafaq -What is "shut up" in this? I am just inquiring a bit. There is no harm in that
Want a cup of tea?
Ofcourse, I am inside now. I will drink.
Never give me something without asking. You will die one day with these small savings.
If Jamal would not have met us. You would've disappeared.
I was disappeared or you?
Look. These interrogations, queries...
what's the point of discussing these.
Moe, you have no idea. I and Jamal are very excited after meeting you.
Dont ask about Jamal. He is on 7th sky.
He is eating my brain (speaking too much) after having dinner at your home. Moe said this and that. Or Moe cooked this.
Good.
Atleast he got a source of entertainment like me.
I have seen him happy after a long time.
I am happy too because he met someone acquainted in Karachi.
Otherwise, the time he take for making friends...
people even plan wedding.
Okay. Dont worry about him now.
I will take care of him now.
Why dont you get him married?
I dont get him married?
If he comes to me, listens to me then I say something.
Now that he came to you, you get him married.
What a fantastic idea.
Let me look a girl for him. Smart, elegant, intelligent that works.
From my side, instead of tomorrow, get him married today.
By the way, ask him beforehand.
I think his choice is changed recently.
Better or worse?
Well, after Jeny experience I hope for the better.
Anyway, ignore it. Its not right to say this.
Dont worry about him. I will find someone.
My work has been done.
Now your and Noraiz work is left.
My work is almost done. Problem is always on Noraiz side.
Before leaving, should I give him one more ultimatum?
There will be some effect, perhaps. Otherwise, he will get us insulted again.
No, there will be no effect. He really doesn't care.
Laiba are you engaged?
Excuse me?
I am asking just like that.
No
Good
It looks like boss has given you a difficult presentation.
What happened to you?
Since morning you are asking every girl her status
I am looking for a girl.
For whom?
Do you know Popy's brother Jamal?
I am looking girl for him.
I know a girl
Who?
Hmm..No, you keep trying. If you dont find one, then come to me.
Is it painful to tell now?
No, not I but, perhaps, you may have.
Should be stylish
Like a model
Can be stylish but she will never be fit(skinny)
Then leave it.
I can never expect any benefit from you.
When you find a girl for your friend's brother. Then also try to look for a boy for my friend.
Go and do your task.
Hello
- Yes, Mr. - Didn't I disturb you?
I was looking at your presentation.
You? (informal)
Saying you(formally) again and again, my tongue is tired now.
What's harm in saying "you" (informally)
No, there is no harm ofcourse. But I have always listened "you (formal)" from you.
It was a bit odd to listen "you (informal)".
What were you saying about my presentation?
Its good.
Sorry..
Are you ok?
Yeah. Just a casual flue.
How?
Perhaps, because of over stressed work
You were always careless Joe.
Remember, how much aunt was worried about you.
By the way, I am not that careless now.
Tell me what were you doing?
I was reading a book. This is the only activity I have
Since forever.
I thought with time you started a new activity.
I dont change my habits easily.
Just like me
Well, its good that you learned something in my company.
What's so funny
No, no, nothing.
Its good to talk to you after long time.
That's why I am happy.
Its good to talk to you after so many years.
Its like a most beautiful moment of life is back.
After Hassan's accident...
I didn't leave house.
Nothing was making sense to me.
It was so sudden.
I can understand
Now everything is good.
Thank God.
I am talking too much. just like that?
No, no not at all.
I like listening to you.
You are always a good listener Joe.
Ok listen. Good listener.
Popy gave me a most important work
What important task?
Masooma, first, I am sick..
and its late at night and I have to go to office early morning.
And please remember you are not a match maker aunt.
Alright, good night.
Its impossible he ever listens to wise advice.
Its enough, Maha, its getting late now.
Mom, just half an hour. please?
ok.
- Uncle Joe You play basket ball very good.
Really?
Not better than you
Hey, will you come next saturday to see my match?
Next saturday..hmm
- If you invite. why not? time? Same time
Done deal
Will you eat ice cream?
You are asking from someone who never denied ice cream offer.
- Will you eat? -No, I dont want to.
- Sure? -Yes, you two go and eat.
No, I dont have mood too.
Do one thing buddy...
Why dont you go and get yourself your favorite flavor?
What you are doing?
- Let me go with her -She will go by herself
How will she go alone?
She is just going to get an ice cream
She can go
Go Maha
You go on extreme
You sent her alone?
I dont send her alone anywhere.
Then Moe, if you let her go alone. Only then she go
You always did spoon-feeding or was overprotective
How will she grow up ?
When you will have kids...
I will ask you then.
Atleast I will not wander around them all the time
For god sake, Moe is all grown up now.
If you dont interfere in her life. How will she be able to take her decision on her own.
She will always be confused and insecure
How do you know a lot about child psychology?
- Exactly what is your experience? -You dont need an experience to give a good advice
Only brain is required
- Oh really? - Yeah
- I bought it -Very good
Shall we go?
By the way buddy...
Didn't you see a monster there?
Monster? No.
Not a monster...Maybe...
ghost or some terrifying thing?
Uncle Joe, stop joking
I am not joking
She was expecting you will encounter something like that.
Really mama?
Ok. Focus and drive carefully..
Otherwise you will become ghost
"Will become ghost. Okay?" - mocking
Let's see
Maths
A, good
English
A, nice
chemistry C
Alright
- Chemistry is difficult - That's alright
Well, not to worry.
Let's think something.
- Tution? - Really...you think so
Yeah
I didn't find difficult in any other subject like this.
And if I find one, I study with my friend to cover it.
But chemistry is the only subject that seems difficult even by studying
And you know...my all friend take chemistry tution
And that's why you think you need tution?
But frankly speaking..
I think tution should always be the last option
but If you need it we can give it a try
Moe?
I dont like the idea of tution
What's harm in trying?
If it doesn't work out. we will look for something else.
ok
Yes
Maha dear, see who is calling
You know I am really surprised
Why
She doesn't get attach to people easily
She is comfortable with you.
She is not usually that friendly
Hello, are you coming from Maha's school? - Yeah I am a bit late
Ok?
Yes, perfectly ok
How did the parent teach meeting go?
Good
Maha's teachers praised her a lot.
They said they found positive changes in her recently.
Her interest in class participation is increased.
Jamal has a significant role in that.
Since he started coming in our home...
Maha is really changed for better.
You should be grateful to Jamal for that
I am grateful to Jamal
Speaking of Jamal, I remember...
I talked to my cousin
- What did she say?
-She wants to talk to Jamal first -Excellent
Come with her or sunday at lunch?
I will also invite Jamal
By the way...
there was no verbal impact on him of her.
Same was the case with Shaista
I will talk to you after meeting then
- Hello -Hi Joe
Ok listen. I want to talk something important
Yes, speak?
I want you to meet a girl
Moe, why?
Why (boy) meet a girl?
I dont know
No body introduce me to a girl till today
- Look. Dont you have work in your office these days? - Yes, I have
Then do that
I do that
Then please only do that
Dont start this social work
How is this social work?
I care for you. I want you get settle, have wife and kids.
Moe
I am mature enough..
If I wanted to marry. Then getting a girl is not a problem for me.
well. someday if you will not consider yourself "Greek God"
you will get married(automatically).
hmm..
It will happen anyway..
Please dont be smart with me.
Get well dressed on sunday.
I will introduce you to Shaista. (Shaista literally means well-mannered)
This is most unmannered act.
Anyway..See you on sunday
Good bye
I think she likes you buddy
Mama see. Uncle Joe brought cat for me.
What's going on here?
What do you want to call her?
Maao?
- Its really nice name - What kind of dressing is this?
What do you mean?
I told you to get well dressed
Whenever I come I always wear this type of clothes. any special occasion today?
No Jamal, you didn't wear clothes like this before.
You are dressed exact opposite to what I said
I had a doubt..
Of what?
This thing..
Go Jamal
Groom yourself a bit.
Maha, take this kitten to your room please. And clean up this mess. right now.
Shaista take something to eat.
No thanks
I am a vegetarian
I even cant imagine the cruelty to an animal that you eat it.
Can you just imagine that?
I think I ate meat like 15 years ago.
And after that nothing till today.
And look at me I am fit and healthy
Have some beans.
I also ate vegetables some 15 years ago.
I eat meat only and look at me
He is joking.
Jamal dont jest like that.
Dont worry.
I like men whose sense of humor is good.
Who can make any woman laugh
Its great
Stop it.
What happened?
I think he find my nails unusual ?
- My dad also dont get this style - Oh, really?
- According to him, only a witch has this type of nails.
Yeah. Correct.
I didn't image that you can insult me like this.
How could you be so nasty to her?
There is some limits of jesting.
What did I do?
I just agreed what her father said to her.
What's a big deal in that
Think what you said to her
I wanted to die because of embarrassment.
And how Shaista was looking at me.
I dried my throat praising you.
And you were talking nonsense.
More technically speaking. After listening her nonsense for 1.5 hour, anyone would've reacted how I did.
After 1.5 hour, I took some courage to speak
She wasn't letting anyone talk
And you were trying to setup with a girl like that?
What do you mean by girl like that?
She is graduate from Harvard.
She is from a noble family. She is 5 years younger than you, single...
and still she was considering you.
Yeah, I am grateful to her for that.
Moe, being single or 5 years younger than me doesnt matter.
Compatibility matters
If a girl is compatible with me and have a kid and is 5 years older than me. I would be happy to marry her.
You are nuts
You know, I am not going to look a girl for you
Jamal.
If your wife beat you...
Then she did a right thing.
Moe, why do you always mock me about my ex wife
She beat me only once, not daily.
And actually she didn't beat me..
She just used her nails.
Popy, your brother cant get married.
For god sake Moe. Dont say that atleast.
I dont know what's his standard.
He points fault in every girl.
God knows that he is looking for Sophia Loren or what.
Joe wasn't like that Popy.
Joe was like that.
He always worked like he wished. Remember? He used to listen to everyone..
But always did what he already decided.
I also decided..
I am not going to waste my time on this.
Now you know...
How much he teased me.
But one thing that I am sure of
And what's that?
He is going to make a wise choice whenever he decides to get married
- Hi Joe - Did you do lunch or not?
No, there is still 15 minutes in lunch break.
Then in 15 minutes, come out of you office, I will be waiting.
- Okay, but everything is ok? - Bye
Never do any task with manners.
Why didn't you dress like this yesterday ?
Where are we going?
Joe
Its a surprise
Okay, but drop me back on time.
My boss is already thirsty for my blood.
Ok. I will drop you..
Where did you bring me?
Come on, Moe.
Why dont you keep silent for 2 minutes.
Now close your mouth and eyes
- Ok? - You dont listen to me.
And expect me to listen to you always.
Now open your eyes
Its beautiful house.
Oh my God.
who's the owner?
Me
How did this happen?
I am new director of sigma marketing company.
And I got this house as fringe benefits.
I cant tell you how happy I am for you.
You know..
when good people get success..
then my belief in goodness increases.
You are such a kind man
I mean you deserve this house and so much more
-so much more. -really?
You think Maha will like it?
Maha will be very happy to see this house
My reaction is nothing in front of her
She would be very happy when she will hear about your success.
She is already your fan
Listen
Drop me back please.
My boss will kill me.
Just one more thing.
What?
Thank God. This boy has some wisdom left.
Owl
If you already had someone in your mind then why you disgraced me in front of Shaista?
Anyway, tell me how she looks?
-Show you? -Yes, show me
Jamal if its a joke then its very bad one.
And I didn't expect that from you.
And if this is not a joke then?
Masooma
Masooma listen to me
Masooma, listen to me
Are you out of your mind?
What are you thinking?
What's wrong in that?
- Everything -Like?
-I am 5 years older than you - I dont care
- I am your elder sister's friend - I know
I am a widow
- I am a mother of child - What's the difference this can make?
Jamal
- You and I are good friends - And we will be
People also marry after being good friends. And it makes more sense.
You and I have no match.
Moe, I am 34 years old.
I have visited whole world, met several types of woman and then proposing you.
- If I am doing this, I would've seen something in you...I thought we can live all life like... - Dont be absurd
- What Popy will think? - I have already told her and she is happy.
- What will she think about me that I with her younger brother... -Why are you saying younger brother again and again?
Should I tell you my age again?
I have...
- fifteen years old daughter - You know how much I adore her..
She is like my daughter and she will be like my daughter after marriage.
Masooma, I know how to take responsibility.
Can we please leave now?
- Take this with you -No
Think about it carefully.
I can wait
Masooma, quickly accept this proposal
There is no need of thinking.
But...
no "but" Masooma
Dont be a disbeliever of blessing
You will not get a better husband than Jamal
Look..
You and him know each other since childhood.
Your families know each other.
You have a lot in come, Interests, lack of interest, mood
And above all
Maha is also attached to him
And then I dont understand...
why are denying
I have 15 years old daughter
then?
If he dont care then why do you?
Masooma, times have changed.
You have to change your thinking.
But my heart doesn't agree
Look
He is not a small child
He is divorced.
He has met hundreds of girls already. And he chose you after that. He didn't fall for you on first sight.
What will Maha say?
In my opinion, Maha would be happy.
I dont think so.
You told me 10 times
That Maha likes him a lot.
Only as my friend.
Then lets do this. You ask Maha
How should I ask her?
- Then let me ask her? - No
No
I will talk to her myself.
Good
Oh God
Wedding with Jamal!
Why?
Why no marriage with Jamal?
24 hours you have Jamal on your tongue.
Your every reference stops at Jamal.
On your one phone call, he comes to help you.
Then I dont understand why dont you want a relation with him
Masooma, from whom are you afraid of?
Society or yourself?
Maha
How do you see Joe?
Uncle Joe is a great guy. I love him
really?
Why are you asking like that?
I
Joe proposed me
I know. I was shocked too.
When he talked to me.
Then what did you say
No. I didn't say anything to him. I didn't say anything to him
But I think
maybe we need someone like him in our lives.
Maha
I do not make decision of my life...
without your consent
Especially this one
And I know
I know how smart you are
You know the difference between good and bad
And
you can understand problems of your mother too.
Do you love him?
Not more than you
Ok?
But you love him.
He is difficult to ignore.
He is a good person
He has all those qualities..
which a good companion can have. And I expect. I generally think
that
we can all live happy together
Do you agree?
Yes
You alright?
Mama?
Mama will you help me in my assignment?
Ofcourse dear
Are you going somewhere?
Joe's friend invited us to a musical evening.
I am going for a short time.
I will be back soon.
Shafaq aunt will be here to give you company
Come. Give me assignment
No, let me try one more time
If I couldn't solve it. I will take help
Are you sure?
Good girl. Keep trying

I accept that a lot of new exciting people has entered in your life
but it doesn't mean you forget your old friend
Yeah. Shut up...
By the way, you know
I couldn't imagine that Maha will handle situation well.
I told you before. You were the one who was in delusion.
Jamal is being amazing. I mean he is taking such good care of her
Ok. Hold for a moment
- Yes sir -Masooma

Then you can pick her a bit late.
Only you will have to meet Mr. Shoaib.
He is difficult client. I cant handle him

- Hello -Yes Moe, everything is ok?
Not really, not really.

And my boss told me to handle a client.
She will be worrying for me.
Oh Moe, come on.
You make big issues out of nowhere.
Anyways, dont worry I will pick her up
and take care of her until you get free
Thanks Joe. Thank you so much

Okay. Good bye
Maoo
- Maoo - Yes Asim?
No, no. just feed her two times. Please dont over feed her.
Not at all
Mama, where is Maoo
I give her away
To whom?
One of my office colleague
Do you want to eat?
Yes
Why aren't you picking up Jamal's phone?
Jamal is not the part of my life.
Did you quarrel?
He was also sounding upset.
But he wasn't telling me anything
He said ask Masooma to talk to me once.
I dont have any interest in his talk.
I dont want to talk to him ever again
Masooma
What happened?, atleast
What happened Masooma
Is everything alright?
He made me not to look in eyes of Maha.
He disgraced me in front of my daughter eyes.
that vile and cheap man
School is empty now. Dont you want to go home?
- I want to. -Then lets go
Masooma
All my life, I tried to advise you
that you give some space to Maha
But with this decision, even I am worried
Are you sure you two can live without each other?
Especially Maha
Shafaq
This incident created a big impact on us.
Even by trying, we are not able to forget
Living in one home...
we are departing from each other day by day
We are becoming strangers
The last solution that makes sense to me...
its better for Maha to ..
get out of this environment.
It took me time to understand you.
Perhaps, thats why I took courage and sending her away to my sister in London.
Now I know...
that the betterment for my daughter is ..
to live without me.
She should trust herself.
Know the difference between right and wrong.
Come on, my child. Sit
Where is Soni?
Soni has gone to dentist with her father.
Masooma insisted me to talk to you for several days.
But I didn't get the time.
Today I took time just to talk to you.
What talk?
Tell me Maha, why don't you want to go to your aunt in London?
You are getting a good opportunity to make your career.
I can also do the same here.
Yes...
but UK degree will have more value..
I know
But I dont have interest
Can I ask you why?
I want to live with Mom
But after getting degree you will come back here.
You are not going to stay for life there.
I cannot leave Mom for years.
She dont have anyone except me
If I go away, she will be alone
I really appreciate this fact that you are concerned about your mother.
But atleast think this Maha...
When you will get married...
Then Masooma will be alone
I will not get married.
What's this childish talk Maha
This is not childish talk
I really dont want to marry
What's the reason?
There is none.
Maha
Whatever happened
Its all gone
It was past.
It was good or evil, its gone now
Masooma is still upset because of that incident
its been six months.
She is still depressed
Did you see
how much she is changed
She dont take interest in anything
For that incident she blames herself
If you talk like this
then she will never get out of this guilt
She didn't have any fault.
Can you tell her that she wasn't at fault?
Dear, I told her several times already
But she will not understand
If you will be happy and confident
then she will be alright.
How can I be happy and confident
I dont have right to be happy or confident
Why dont you have right?
What was your fault in this?
Please dont say this to me
It was all my fault
Dear, I cannot understand you
What happened because of you?
I hurt Mom a lot.
Tell her I am really sorry
What did you do this time?
I committed a sin
A big sin
Oh my lord.
Maha, what did you do?
Maha
listen to me
See. Mom is here.
Maha
- Mama - Maha?
Mama....mama
Shafaq
Did you talk to Maha?
Yes, Masooma
I dont know what happened to Maha
She was acting weird
I dont understand
but Masooma
you should take her to some psychiatrist.
Why? What did she say?
She was saying that she hurt mama alot.
Did she really say that?
Didn't she reach till now?
She's gone long ago with driver
Let me check and get back to you
No
I know where she went
Thanks Shafaq
You are angry with me
Shouldn't I?
Yes, you should
You might hate me
Whatever I did
After that
you should hate me
But I dont know what happened to me
How can I be so selfish
I lied to mama
I ruined the happiness in my mom's life which came after several years..
And with this you also finished the beautiful relationship of Mom and daughter
- I know -No, Maha. You dont know
If you knew you wouldn't have done what you did
That's why I am saying
You should hate me
Maha, problems dont solve with hate
The thing I dont understand is why you didn't talked to Masooma or me?
that you dont want us to get married
Jamal uncle
Mama started loving you.
Even if I stopped her
then I wouldn't be able to finish love for you from her heart.
That's why I wanted
mama to hate you.
that she discard you from her life
that she dont miss you
that she dont think about you
But it didn't happen
You left our home but..
never got out of me and mama
So, you wanted that?
I had a fear of losing mama
You started caring you too much.
She was getting attach to you
Maha, do you know why was she doing that?
So, that you will have a soft corner for me.
that because of her care I start caring for you
But you thought I wanted to replace you in her life
I know I did wrong
I wanted mama to hate you
But I didn't know
that doing this..
I will hate myself.
I ruined everyone's life.
God
So, sorry
Maha you are not bad.
but immature
You were very possessive about your mother.
And that's why her happiness to you was bad.
But Maha you have to understand that we cannot do this
even with our parents.
We should give them right to make their life better.
Think about others too.
Every emotion of life if exceeds the threshold starts harming.
even if its love.
I want to apologize to you
I know that there is no use of that.
But still i want to apologize to you
Maha, you dont have to ask forgiveness from me but your mother.
Because you did more harm to her than me
I dont have courage...
Maha, to hurt someone you need a lot of courage
To say sorry to someone, you need little courage.
But how can I tell her all this
she know everything
She saw the recordings of security camera after two weeks.
She came to me
To make apology for you.
And she didn't say anything to me
Maha, the most painful thing is in this incident...
your mother blames herself for everything.
She thinks being your mother she didn't nurture you better.
She didn't tell you the different between right and wrong
She feels as a mother she is completely failed.
Maha, her courage and confident is completely finished.
She fears
if she discuss this with you
then maybe you in embarrassment
do something stupid again.
She did what every parent do
they start hiding their children faults.
They start hiding from truth.
Do sacrifice for whole life.
She is doing the same.
