What?

My heart's been racing since morning.

Feels like something’s about to happen.

Your marriage with Hazrat.

No

Why are you laughing?

You’re the one who gave your damn heart away

That heartbeat of yours is probably beating over there.

God!

It’s been seven days since he got shot

the bullets must’ve digested by now.

His heart must’ve started working again too.

I mean, if it’s working then it’s beating inside you.

Aunty!

Okay but when you talked to him, did he seem brave?

No

I said, ‘Swear on my life that you don’t love me.'

hmm.. then?

He didn’t swear.

He said, I think I am not feeling well

Then that means he is brave.

How?

If he didn’t swear, it means he was telling you he does love you.

But he didn’t say anything. Just hung up.

oh you!

You don’t get it.

Not swearing is his bravery.

Now this racing heartbeat of yours...

it’s because he’s probably making a decision.

But he’s a little scared, the idiot!

Ok tell me where is brother?

Mian jee has come downstairs;

He is sitting with him.

I had a word with him, Mian sahab

but he is not agreeing.

He is ready to fight but

not willing to go to jail.

I’ll give him one more day.

I want him to be mentally prepared

Why are you worried?

Naseeba’s inner mother is standing stubbornly in front of me.

She’s shaken my nerves.

Hello!

Who?

What?

Where?

Okay fine, hang up now

Shamrez has left that place.

Where did he go?

I don't know

but he left a message for me

What?

I am sorry, dad

Sir, Mr. Manto has come. He is Miss Mehmal’s teacher.

Okay

Yes, send him in

Bring him in respectfully.

Ok sir

Mian Sahib, he is the same guy

who took bullets for us.

I am leaving now

Now the story has gone into Shamrez’s hands.

Lets see what happens

Please come

Good evening!

Good evening!

Greetings!

Mr. Manto, please sit. I’ll see Mian Sahib off and be right back.

No, you sit with him

Mehmal will see me off.

Good to see you, my son

Please come

Did you come to meet me?

Yes

What a pleasant surprise!

Please sit

Sorry Manto Sir

Excuse me! Its okay

Hello!

Any update?

Then find out

Did he hide somewhere, or is he wandering around openly?

Yes, call me then

What happened?

Sir Manto has come.

Oh my..

Since he’s here, serve him some tea or something.

He’s come to meet Dad, aunty.

Then?

He blurts anything out of his mouth, he’ll say anything.

So what will he say now?

Maybe he’ll admit that I went to the hospital and held his hand,

squeezed his hand.

Or maybe he’ll say that Mehmal told him to swear and say that you don’t love me.

Will he say it?

He could.

Then be happy

if he’s that brave,

and truly a man.

If he says that, then truly fall in love with him

Otherwise who dares?

Who would go to Siraj Amritsari and tell him

that I have such a relationship with his daughter?

Yes, so you were saying that I am Mehmal's teacher

Yes

We all know this

Your name is usually discussed in our house

Actually, Mehmal often talks about you.

Thanks to her

I won’t take much of your time.

No, no.. you talk.

Actually I was waiting for someone's call

Say it

Are you listening carefully?

Yes

I wanted to say...

I think I’m a man of principles.

Good!

I mean..

I consider the teacher‑student relationship very sacred.

I know that

Mehmal speaks very high of you

Very kind of her

But I’ve noticed that others see it differently.

I believe a teacher should not fall in love with his student.

Even if it happens,

keep it in your heart

and let it go.

I appreciate that!

But this Ms. Maria Chohan

she thinks a teacher is a coward and a weakling.

who falls in love with his student and can’t confess it

To have a discussion about such a topic, you should at least have dinner with me.

Oh no no..

I don’t even know how I’d drink tea.

You say, I’m listening.

What do you think?

am I right

or Ms. Maria Chohan is saying the right thing?

I think both of you are right

Now, if someone falls in love, what should a man do?

whether he’s a teacher or a student?

So you are supporting Ms. Maria's point of view

Tell me the truth

have you fallen in love with one of your students?

Excuse me

I was saying that.. you have fallen in love with one of your students, right?

Yes, sort of

are you unmarried?

Of-course!

So, what's the problem then?

The student isn’t agreeing?

No, that’s not it.

The feelings are mutual.

But neither of us has said anything.

First, ask her.

You must be misunderstanding.

No, no.. that's out of question!

She wants me to say it outright.

I didn’t have the courage.

So what’s the delay then?

Send your parents and ask for her hand.

My parents are no more

Oh!

So you want me to go on your behalf?

I have no issues

I will go

No

You don’t even need to go

So?

Maria Chohan was saying that..

When someone comes to meet you the first time, you send him with some gift or so

Hundred percent!

That’s our custom.

Do you give a gift of your choosing, or do you ask the guest what they want?

Usually people give what they prefer

And don’t ask the guest what they want

I promise!

I will certainly ask.

Tell me, what gift do you want?

I’ll ask for anything.

Ask for anything you like.

May I ask one more question?

Yes

have you ever taken someone’s life with your own hands?

Yes

Good!

You look nervous.

No, absolutely not!

I’ve become brave.

Are you embarrassed to ask for a gift?

No, that’s not it.

I am just thinking..

Don’t let it be that I ask for a gift of my choosing

and you can’t give it,

And your custom would break

Go on... ask.

In my 62 years of age, it has never happened that our traditions have been broken

Just tell me

Don't hesitate

Give me Mehmal

I love her

I’d give my life for her.

If you were right, I’d slap you across the face.

I am absolutely fine

Get lost!

Won’t you shoot me?

Consider that slap a bullet fired at you.

Before you think of Mehmal again,

die of shame from this slap.

So should I go?

One minute!

I don’t know the way out of the mansion.

Shagufta, Atiya..

Yes sir

Escort him outside and leave them at the gate.

Ok sir

Please come

Today your tradition is broken, sir.

I’m leaving your house empty‑handed.

Mehmal

Mehmal?

Wake up!

Mehmal

Wake up!

Did Sir Manto die?

He’s gone.

Where?

He’s returned to his home.

Pull yourself together, there’s going to be a gathering with you.

Did Dad let him go?

So we should have stopped him?

Would have send you off with him?

Did I ever say that?

Try saying it! Hold on!

Let me ask, what happened?

Manto had come here asking for her hand.

So did brother give him?

I’ll tear him apart and hang him from the mansion gate!

You sent the man who came to propose away empty‑handed

so what are you crying about?

Ten men proposed to me too,

but I married the one I wanted.

You’re the one suffering now, aren’t you?

Oh Missy!

If you take up jihad, you must be ready to die for it.

Maybe my husband’s sacrifice

will be useful for Mehmal.

Before that happens, my body will fall

So, I will consider that one soldier of the enemy has been struck down.

She has been defeated.

Come on, get up!

Draw your sword and step into the arena.

What are you staring at?

Go, send the message to the enemy.

This battle will rage until the last drop of blood falls

I stand with her.

In love, what matters is that the girl stands for herself.

Come on, get up!

If you faint now, it will be a humiliating defeat.

Is he really alive?

Does anyone die from a single slap?

Mr. Manto, at least let me clean the blood.

No

It feels so good

It feels as if I’ve won a trophy.

Oh my God!

I am in love

and I am ready to die for it

I am sure, you are going to die

That’s why I’m staring at you so hard.

Just tell me one thing

who slapped you?

Her aunt or her father?

Her father did.

Did you tell him everything?

First I said...

Ms. Maria Chohan says that when someone comes to see you for the first time,

you don’t send him empty‑handed.

Then?

I said...

the gift must be of my choice.

What did you ask for?

If you hear it you’ll jump.

Tell me, what did you ask?

Mehmal

I said, give me Mehmal.

Then?

Then what?

He said, ‘Stand up.’

So I stood up.

That's a teacher's respect

So you were confessing your love to the girl’s father

And he slapped you once?

Did she find out?

Of course.

As angry as he was

He must have raged after I left.

Weren’t you even a little scared?

Not at all.

I felt extra brave.

You know, love...

Its not just a sentiment

it’s power.

A kind of power I’d never seen before.

Oh Ms. Maria Chohan

I felt like I could fight ten men like Siraj Amritsari

Then why did you come back?

Respect

Whose?

Hers

Seeing her love, I don't think so

that she could be as powerful as I am

Tell me the truth…

Did you faint from shame, or from the fear of him dying?

From the fear of him dying.

I thought that as soon as you heard his words, you’d just shoot him.

But you’re a bigger person.

You’ve kept your daughter’s honor intact

Can you see the pride in her?

Do you remember that he’s your teacher?

I also remember that I’m his student.

Do you know, dad..

He used to think like this in the face of cowardice.

That’s why he wasted two semesters just talking to you.

Are you in your right mind?

Yes dad!

I’m in my complete senses

I can see Mom’s anger, and your patience.

So, you’re admitting your crime, right?

Do you know what’s going to happen to you after that?

I know

I just have one wish, Dad.

Bury me outside this room’s door.

And as you both walk by, you’ll step over the corpse of my unfulfilled dreams.

And I’ll be proud,

Those whose feet I was the dust of,

I have become dust beneath their feet

You can go now and sleep.

We’ll talk tomorrow.

No, Dad. We’ll talk today.

You make the decision.

Whatever I want, I’ll get.

Or will you be the one to kill me?

You said yes for Mekaal Hazrat.

Wasn’t that decision yours?

I said yes.

But love got in the way and stopped me.

Love never happened with him.

And he’s left longing.

Tell me the truth, Surraiya, how long has this been going on?

Ask her

She is telling you the truth.

There was no date, Mom.

Maybe that day I realized I’d become Hazrat’s.

I couldn’t believe it.

I kept stopping myself.

Until Hazrat found out that I..

I loved Manto.

I didn’t even know myself.

Oh..

What courage do you have to listen to this nonsense?

Just keep listening

Let me figure out where I went wrong.

Let me tell you the truth, Dad.

Every time a father thinks that forcing a girl into marriage isn’t a mistake

that’s exactly where the mistake happens

So, you’ve decided to clash with us?

Oh no, dad.

I don’t have the courage to clash with you.

I’ll be crushed beneath you.

That’s why I’m saying, today, even he spoke what was never said before.

So it’s my duty to stand tall, even if it means walking to the gallows.

Oh God!

There’s no shame left in this girl

Let me tell you something, Mom.

There’s no greater shame than being carried away in an unwanted man’s bridal procession.

You, wretched girl! Watch your tongue… Stop, Naseeba!

There’s no custom in raising your shoe at your daughter.

Surraiya

Take her away

Give her sleeping pills and let her rest.

Tomorrow, we’ll talk again.

Lets go, Dear

It’s time for you to sleep.

Tell me the truth…

are you brave, or just pretending to be?

I’ll answer after I thank Hazrat.

Thanks for what?

For teaching me how to love…

and how to be brave.

Damn, you were unstoppable today. I saw it.

My brother's scared of you now.

Would’ve been better if your mom was too.

She won’t be.

There’s pride in carrying someone in your womb, a sense of ownership.

Then make her understand, Aunty…

A daughter might lose,

but love never will.

You’re not going to get married now?

I will

Why not?

What do you think when you look at me?

I fell for a girl.

Now that she’s gone, I’ll just cry and trash her name.

No

You’re trying to comfort Mom.

I swear on my heart, Mom

if you don’t get the one you love, the love doesn’t disappear.

Its still with me.

So we’ll dress her up a little, put on some makeup, and introduce her to someone else.

That’s a lie!

Tell me, have I ever lied to you?

But today you are

I swear upon your life, no!

Mehmal wanted someone else,

and someone else wanted Mehmal.

I said, ‘Take her.'

Don’t put me among those who beg for her, put me among those who give her away.

Here, its her call

Its hers, right?

yes

hello!

I was just talking to Mom about you.

My heart was saying I’d get some good news today.

There’s no good news.

Oh come on, tell me.

Sir Manto came by.

Then?

He told my dad that he loves Mehmal.

Don't tell me!

I swear!

Brave man! Wow..

Happy?

No

Why?

I am about to say to you that...

I’m breaking off our engagement.

Today?

Yes

How many times can you break something that’s already broken?

You know, I was talking to Mom about another girl.

Who is she?

There must be someone

I’ll find her before your wedding.

I have to take my revenge somehow

It hurts.

Hearing about my wedding?

No

By breaking off our engagement.

No worries!

You once said that if you ever fell in love again, it would be with me.

I won’t.

I think I’ll die from my first love anyway

Have you heard of the real Farhad?

He carved a canal through a mountain

Why so?

Love

Love my dear..

Farhad would do anything for love.

He will kill Hazrat

He will kill Manto

He will also kill your father

Its good, right?

Save their lives

I swear, I love you so much.

I’ll take care of you

Please, say yes.

Say it, Farhad… I’m all yours.

Only yours!

Oh God!

Farhad will die of happiness.

What did you say to my father?

Say it in the same way

Tell me

Did you say.. I’d fallen in love with Mehmal.

I did say it.

Didn’t you think he’d kill me on the spot.

I only thought that he would kill me

But I was confident

If I stay alive, I won’t let you die

Why did you take so long to accept it?

I accepted it

it just took time to convince

Who?

Myself.

Ok tell me

If you had to die with me, then would you die?

I never even thought about living

Even yesterday I told Ms. Maria

if I die, she’ll get two days off.

Can I tell you something?

Yes

Why does dying for love seem so easy?

Because no one lets you live in love

that’s why people make promises to die first.

Listen!

When you think of me, don’t you ever feel ashamed?

No… not ashamed.

I just blush.

And do you feel ashamed?

No

I blush too.

Mr. Manto, are you ready?

I am having breakfast

Who is it?

Your MM

Aren’t you going to university?

Just after breakfast.

Did you eat?

Yes. I did

Tea?

Its for you

Will she come to the university?

I didn’t ask that.

hmm..

She won't come

No one will even let her come.

I think the same.

What will you do?

Will you be able to manage?

Shall I go again?

To the mansion?

Yes

Are you crazy?

No, I am not going there but asking you. Should I go there?

For what?

I will convince her father

Just make sure he doesn’t get in the way of Mehmal’s education

Okay. So that he will say.. ‘Thank you so much for the guidance.’

This isn’t something about love, right?

He won’t slap me

Hmm… he won’t slap you but this time he’ll shoot you straight.

Good!

Good

What good?

I’m not afraid of bullets anymore.

If you die,

what will happen to Mehmal?

I haven’t thought about that

She..

She will marry Mekaal Hazrat

She could have done it even if you hadn’t been killed

Tell me one thing

will you call a marriage a marriage

in which the girl’s heart does not beat for the groom?

Do you know why I talk about these things?

Why?

So that I get support.. Moral support!

Reason?

The reason is that…

I want to believe

that I did not take away Mekaal Hazrat’s rights.

In one‑sided love, the one who loves has no right, Mr. Manto.

Listen!

You’re the one whose father was murdered by that man, aren’t you?

Who?

The same guy..

Who killed my daughter.

Do you know him?

Everyone knows him, it’s only the police who don’t.

Look at this

Look..

I’ve made so many requests,

but there is helplessness on the faces of those policemen.

Because..

The murderer is extremely powerful.

And every time I come to explain this to them,

that they’ve forgotten the most powerful entity

Sorry..

I’ve already taken too much of your time.
