I knew you would never break your word, Sanwal.

I had faith in you.

You?

Didn't I forbid you from setting foot in this house?

I called him here, Dad.

Why?

Have you become so defiant

that you'd let just anyone into my house without my permission?

I'm not dead yet, Piya. I'm still alive.

Dad, I've made Sanwal promise to protect all of us.

He'll protect us from Seth Moosa.

You don't have to be afraid of Seth Moosa anymore.

As long as Sanwal is here, Seth Moosa can't lay a finger on us.

He's going to save you?

What kind of protection can he offer?

He's a foster child of his.

-He told me himself that Moosa... -Yes, him.

He will protect us.

And you want to make us move again, Dad?

Piya, why don't you understand?

That man's reach is very long.

I'm not worried about myself, my child.

I'm worried about you.

You should have been worried about me when I was born.

Then we wouldn't have had to see this day.

No one can fight their fate, child.

Those were difficult times for me.

Fine, Dad, but what's the guarantee that if we leave this house,

Moosa won't come after us?

Won't he search for us?

Dad, for how long are we going to wander from place to place and hide in fear?

We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

The world isn't so lawless that anyone can just waltz into our home.

Even if our justice system is in tatters, there is still some law,

some semblance of order.

Then why haven't you sought help from the law until now, Dad?

Why haven't you ever knocked on the door of justice?

Why did some thug, some gangster,

get to win your daughter in a bet and consider her his property?

What kind of justice is that, Dad?

Things like this don't even happen in wars.

Why didn't you ever go to the guardians of the law with your complaint?

Because I was a weak and helpless man.

I didn't even have a roof over my head.

Everyone was my enemy.

In that situation, if I hadn't taken my innocent daughter and run away,

what else was I supposed to do?

Fine.

That was the decision of a terrified man, I accept that.

But today?

Times have changed now, Dad.

What are you afraid of now?

Aaliyaar,

what kind of questions are you asking?

Mom, please.

You've always put me off, and I let it go.

But today, I need to know if what Piya told me is the truth.

Yes or no?

And I want to know what that girl wants from you.

At your request, for your happiness,

your dad and I went through those narrow alleyways

to respectfully ask for her hand in marriage, didn't we?

If her own father isn't happy with this relationship,

then why doesn't that girl leave us alone?

Why does she keep calling you over with different excuses

and turning you against both of us?

Why?

That's why they say people of low standing always remain so.

They can't handle being shown respect.

I know you have always prioritized my happiness.

And I also know

that you went to Piya's house to ask for her hand only for my sake,

and I am very grateful to you for that.

Son, this isn't about being grateful.

I'm asking you,

why do you keep falling for that girl's words?

Why do you put us on trial?

I'm not putting anyone on trial, Mom.

But I must get to the bottom of these issues.

I have some questions on my mind.

And I want answers to them.

Dad, you...

Is the reason for the dispute between you and Piya's father

the same as what Piya told me?

So, what is it you want?

Justice.

I want you to atone for the crime you committed twenty-five years ago.

And there is only one way you can atone for it.

And what does that atonement entail?

I want you to go to the police

and file an official report about what happened that night.

I want justice for my mother.

And whoever is responsible for her death,

whether it was intentional or not, must be punished.

Are you prepared to pay for your sin, Dad?

Answer me, Dad.

My dear Piya,

that crime didn't even take place in this city.

The police will never believe our story.

But the real culprit is still out there, walking around scot-free, isn't he?

Dad,

you are going to the police and telling them the whole truth.

This way, we might have a chance of escaping Moosa's clutches.

Are you the reason Piya’s biological mother is dead?

Are you the gambler they call Moosa?

Absolutely not.

I had no idea the woman we met back there wasn't her biological mother.

I thought perhaps we'd gone to the wrong house.

Aaliyaar,

that family is nothing but con artists.

That girl has no idea if the woman is her stepmother or her birth mother.

If her father has kept this truth from her for so many years,

there has to be a reason.

A man like that is capable of telling his daughter any lie he can conjure up.

Listen, Aaliyaar,

I'll say this one last time.

You need to seriously reconsider your choice.

But why would Piya's father do this to you?

Why would he level these accusations against you?

What could he possibly gain from it?

Only he would know that.

I've told you. I've known Aslam for years.

But who knows what old grudge he's been nursing all this time.

There was a gambler in that town named Moosa,

but he's likely dead and buried by now.

And it's true,

I have no issue with you getting married to his daughter.

I'm suggesting you have a court marriage.

Nisaar told you himself, didn't he? He met with Aslam again

and pleaded with him to let this go.

But what does he do? He turns around and pits you against me.

For God's sake, tell Piya not to drive a wedge between a father and his son.

If her father has a problem with me, a grievance,

he should come and say it to my face.

I'm even willing to apologize to him, for your sake.

Just tell him to stop trying to tear our family apart by using his own daughter.

Son,

you're all Shaista and I have.

Please, tell her not to take our one last treasure from us.

Otherwise, I'll die...

I swear it, I'll die.

Dad...

My son, I'll die.

Daud.

Daud, please.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad, please.

Oh, my son.

What are you on about, Brother?

Is Miss Piya really talking about going straight to the cops?

Who would've thought a girl who seems so simple and naive could be

so tough deep down?

I never saw that coming either.

But, Brother, that's practically a death wish.

Making an enemy of Seth Daud.

You've sent countless guys to their graves for him.

No one knows better than you how ruthless that man is.

I know...

I know all too well how ruthless he is.

But there's something out there even more ruthless than him...

love.

I might just survive making an enemy of Seth Daud.

I could take a thousand blows to my body and live...

but I'll never survive being struck down by love.

But, Brother, one thing's for sure.

Miss Piya isn't looking for a tough guy,

or she would never have talked about filing a police report.

We were worried for nothing.

I'm telling you, just confess your feelings already.

It's never that simple when it comes to love, you fool.

Come on, Brother. I've had my fair share of romance, too.

It looks to me like the coast is completely clear for you.

By the way, what did Miss Piya's father say about the police report?

Is he really willing to take such a big risk?

Then why haven't you sought help from the law until now, Dad?

Why haven't you ever knocked on the door of justice?

I want you to atone for the crime you committed twenty-five years ago.

And there is only one way you can atone for it.

And what does that atonement entail?

I want you to go to the police

and file an official report about what happened that night.

Piya is still a child.

She's stubborn.

Her heart is broken after learning the truth.

But you understand how delicate this all is, don't you?

Why don't you just let this feud go?

There's still time. Nothing has been ruined yet.

Aslam...

I'm terrified.

If this ends up with the police and in the courts,

what if those people try to hurt Piya?

What am I supposed to do?

My own daughter has turned against me.

She's sided with that street thug.

I can't believe...

that Piya thinks I'm her mother's murderer.

It's not like that, Aslam.

She's just angry at Moosa, and she has every right to be.

After all, he's the root of this whole mess.

The time has come.

The very past I've spent years hiding from...

running from...

is now staring me right in the face.

Whoa there. Careful, sweetheart. Watch your step.

Are you okay?

Come in.

Piya?

Yes?

Is there anything more humiliating for a father...

than losing his child's respect?

I can endure any hardship in this world, my child...

but this is a humiliation I cannot bear.

Whatever penance you ask of me,

I am ready to pay it.

Just tell me,

where must I go to confess my past sins?

Dad, just give me some time.

After that, I'll go with you myself.

What's this, Brother?

The cherished old ride is back?

What happened to the bike?

I returned it.

I won't be needing that anymore.

From now on, this is what I'll need.

Get ready.

It's time to make our move.

Piya.

Piya.

You silly girl, where are you? Piya.

I'm right here. What's wrong?

Honestly, Piya. Where have you been?

You haven't been to university for two days,

and you're not answering your phone.

Do you have any idea?

You have a friend, remember? Me. Lubna.

The poor girl's been worried sick.

Done with the drama?

Now stop it and come inside.

I would've come yesterday,

but there was an auto-rickshaw strike, and the buses weren't running either.

I had to get up so early because of you.

I'm starving. I didn't even have breakfast.

Are you going to feed me?

Of course I will. Come on, let's go inside.

Why are you dragging me like this?

What?

Have you lost your mind, Piya?

Are you really thinking of filing a police report against Aaliyaar's dad?

-Are you serious? -Yes.

I made this decision with a completely clear head.

And what about Aaliyaar?

What about that poor guy?

What did he do to deserve this, Piya?

Oh, my dear friend, look.

Here, can you see this?

I'm begging you. This is utter madness.

Why are you gambling with your own life?

If Aaliyaar truly loves me, then he'll have to stand by my side.

You just told me yourself

that he loves me deeply,

and he's been making all these grand promises for my sake.

Well, now's the time for him to prove it.

You've completely lost your mind, my friend.

Piya, you don't put love to the test like this.

Whatever happens, I'm not going to let you do this.

What's done is done.

You still have your whole life ahead of you.

Just marry Aaliyaar.

He really loves you.

I've seen how much he cares about you in his eyes.

Lubna, I can't build my future on a delusion or a foundation of lies.

Aaliyaar has to accept the fact

that his father is the one who wronged us.

The sooner he accepts it, the better.

I'll go to the university with you. Let me go get ready.

Piya, at least listen to me.

Oh, this girl is so stubborn.

Why are you guys fighting? Go on, go to school.

Going somewhere, Miss Piya?

Yes, we're going to the university.

It isn't wise for you to go alone.

Shall I drop you off, or can I have one of the boys go with you?

No, really, it's fine.

Thanks for the offer, Sanwal. But I can manage.

Don't mention it.

But you've missed the bus by now.

And I won't let you go in an auto-rickshaw.

Get the car keys.

Wait here, please.

What's going on here?

Why's he so protective of you?

Sanwal is a really good person.

And he's willing to help me in this fight.

I asked him for help as a friend.

So...

Piya, his eyes and the way he acts around you tell a different story.

-It's as if he... -Loves me.

Yes, you're right.

Maybe he is helping me because he has feelings for me...

or perhaps there's some other reason.

Lubna, all I know is,

if anyone can save us from Moosa, it's Sanwal. Just him.

But isn't Sanwal one of Moosa's own men?

Is he going to follow Moosa's orders or actually protect you?

Lubna, I don't have any other option but to trust Sanwal.

In this entire city, if anyone can stand up to Moosa,

it is only Sanwal. No one else.

You're both finally here.

I've been waiting for you.

And Piya, are you okay?

You two talk.

I’ll just run to the library and be back in a bit.

Thank you.

I spoke with Dad.

He's ready to make amends for his mistakes.

Right, and my dad's ready to arrange our court marriage as well.

So, Dad was right all along.

Your dad is going to get his revenge on my dad, one way or another.

You're getting this all wrong.

He knows your dad would never agree to this marriage.

That's why he's making up all those stories.

So what's the better option?

We just get married in court or have a small ceremony, right?

This isn't just some story, Aaliyaar.

This is the biggest truth of our lives.

A truth we can't move past without facing it.

And what's gotten into you?

Even after knowing the whole truth, you still think we're the liars?

That's not it, Piya.

I'm just saying we need to stay out of this fight for now.

As for what's true or what's not, I sat down and talked with my dad.

He told me he has no fault in any of this. He's in the clear.

He made that very clear to me.

I knew he'd say that.

That's why I've decided to take legal action against him.

What?

I had a feeling

you'd be cornered for your daughter's sake.

But filing a police report against Seth Daud isn't easy.

Who in this city is going to file a report against him?

He's no longer Moosa, the gambler from your old neighborhood.

He owns dozens of companies.

The most influential people are a part of his inner circle.

I know that better than anyone.

But my upset daughter doesn't understand any of this.

It's not easy for a father of an only daughter to endure all this.

I just came to tell you that

Moosa doesn't know you're helping us.

Thank you for everything you've done.

But you don't need to pick a direct fight with Moosa on our account.

Piya is just naive.

She thinks you can save us from Moosa.

Just save yourself.

As for us,

only God knows what will happen now.

You're making a mistake, Piya.

I came here to find a solution to this problem,

and you're just making it more complicated.

I'm not complicating anything, Aaliyaar.

I just want justice for the cruelty that killed my mother.

Whether the culprit is my dad or someone else,

they have to face the law.

Whether they get released

or spend their life imprisoned by their own conscience,

that's their fate.

But why don't you get it?

My dad has nothing to do with any of this.

He's putting up with all this disrespect for my sake.

He's accepting you for my sake.

Now, whatever score you and your dad have to settle,

keep settling it with him.

But please don't drag my father into this anymore.

For God's sake.

Wow.

All this time, you were making all these grand promises.

That you'd stand by me.

That you'd stay with me...

never to leave me.

So what's changed now?

Enough is enough, Piya.

This is all your dad's ploy.

He was never on board with our marriage from day one.

He's just venting a long-held grudge.

And I...

I can't stand by and watch my parents be disrespected any longer.

As for you,

we are still ready to accept you,

but only if you can give us respect in return.

The decision is in your hands, Piya.

Whatever you decide will happen.

It is your right to stand by your father.

But please, Piya...

keep my dad out of this controversy.

It is my final request.

You’ve already made up your mind.

My decision doesn’t matter at this point.

That’s not how it is.

Just let it go.

The decision is still in your hands.

My world is still waiting for you.

I appreciate your generosity…

for even considering me worthy of being in your life.

But I cannot drag my life’s troubles

into yours and complicate things further.

This is my war to fight.

And I will fight it…

even if it’s the last one.

And perhaps when we meet again,

we will no longer be what we once were to each other.

I can’t believe you’d turn out to be this stubborn, Piya.

But if that’s how it is…

if you’ve decided to part ways, then so be it.

But if you ever realize what you’ve done, come back.

Maybe it won’t be too late.

If we’re meant to part…

then that’s how it will be.
