Where is she?

She must be at the canteen.

Who will go and tell her that class has started?

She’s not in the canteen, Sir. She’s at home.

Her wedding date has been fixed;

she’ll bring sweets for everyone tomorrow.

Good luck to her!

I need to request that this class be our last one.

So Deen had called me,

and I’ll meet him first.

Okay?

Sure sir

See you then

Atiya yes

Have they come?

Its been such a long time now

And Hazrat?

He was asking where you are. I said you’re getting ready.

Oh God!

Pass me the phone

Ask who it is.

Hello!

Hi!

Someone is saying Hi

Ask who it is.

Who are you talking?

Isn’t this Mehmal’s number?

This number belongs to her, but you can’t talk like this to her. You tell me, who are you?

I am Manto

Sir Manto

Sir Manto?

Its Sir Manto..

Go and get coffee, quickly.

Yes

Hi sir!

How are you?

Fine

I heard your wedding is happening,

The date is getting finalized.

Congratulations!

Thank you!

Good luck!

oh sir, thanks again

you must be happy

Oh yes!

Hmm..

I thought you’d get married after finishing your studies.

That’s what I first thought.

But Dad felt it should happen now

probably because of that incident.

Right?

Perhaps

Your father must have been scared, right?

Not at all, sir

My dad doesn’t fear anyone.

Hmm.. okay

That boy is good

I think so

Anyways..

You’re even better than him.

When’s the wedding?

In about two weeks

The date will be finalized today.

Will you come to the university after that?

Of-course not!

They won’t allow you to come

I myself won’t come.

Once the wedding happens,

decisions are made

and accepted

then why would I come to the university?

Hmm..

The wedding day will be the last time I meet everyone,

including you.

Please forgive me

Why did you go silent?

Didn’t you like it?

No no

There isn't any such thing

So you liked it a lot?

Oh!

I was supposed to meet Deen, but I completely forgot.

I didn’t even take the class

Alright, then. Okay? Good luck!

Okay then..

Since you’ve left it to me,

let’s fix it for October 8th,

as you command, Mian Jee

Lets finalize 8th then

Congratulations!

Congrats to you too!

Hey Mister, come here

Let me feed you with my own hands

I hope its not bitter

May Allah protect you from the bitterness of sweets

Eat

Stay blessed!

It would have been better if two years had passed.

How?

The way he is, girls and faces keep changing.

Then maybe it wouldn’t have felt

as intense as it feels now.

Come on

She is their daughter.

Whether they have her wedding today or two years later,

what does it matter to anyone?

You’ve spent three years in Australia, brother, so you’ve learned about human rights.

He’s always been here, and here the powerful have rights

everyone else just has duties.

Really?

More powerful than Siraj Amritsari?

You must be joking, right?

Its not a joke, Khateeja

After 70 years, when things have finally changed

even a single drop from their hand will burn so much,

you won’t even know

how much your sons’ blood is in it.

I will talk to him

It’s good to talk now;

otherwise, I won’t leave it unspoken.

I’ll fold my hands in front of him.

Oh God..

Now Mom will fold her hands in front of him

Even for that son’s life, this spectacle had to be seen.

The spectacle will happen,

he won’t back down.

I don’t even understand why I was called.

I was getting married properly there.

Do you know

Last night I spoke to her on the phone.

She was crying

Why are you so helpless, brother?

Stop him on the way.

You yourself said he won’t back down.

I’m the one saying it, I’m just a girl.

I can’t go fight with guns

I sit with Mom and pray that my brothers stay safe

You’re the elder brother.

You have full authority to grab him by the collar, to hold his hand and stop him.

Hold his hand and stop him, brother.

Tell him that there’s a limit to reconciliation

If he crosses the limit, everything will be destroyed.

Don’t grab him by the collar, brother.

What happened, brother?

What were you just doing?

And what are you going to do next?

Nothing brother!

I was letting out the anger of my helplessness.

Farhad, look… Don’t look, just listen.

Tell me, how is it?

What do you mean, how is it?

I've composed a tune

Its slightly sad, but enjoyable.

Tell me what you think

You’re Mehmal’s aunt, right?

Yes

Come

Why are you scared seeing me?

If you had told me, I would have come to meet you.

That could have happened.

Actually, yesterday when her date was fixed,

you should have been there too

I would have loved to see that scene.

You ran away from the engagement, though.

Here, sweets for you.

She told me that at the university, I should be the first to give you sweet

Eat…

Yes, I’ll eat now

Do you want me to tell you the real reason I came?

I didn’t just come to give you sweets

I came to discuss something with you.

Yes

She’s marrying Hazrat,

And she doesn’t even like Hazrat

Oh!

Has she ever talked to you about it?

About what?

Don’t be afraid.

I know you’re a little timid.

Your name is Manto, after all.

So I assure you,

whatever we talk about will stay between the two of us.

No, that’s fine.

But would she really talk to me like that?

Your name is shouted around the house.

At every little thing, Manto Sir, my ears get tired.

That’s why I thought she must be close to you;

she probably talks to you too.

So maybe she told you

who she actually likes.

No no..

She doesn’t talk to me like that.

And… she said he’s very nice.

I met him too, and I felt the same.

And you didn’t feel anything else?

And what else?

Sorry, I forgot to ask you about tea or coffee.

Tea or coffee?

Don’t change the subject.

I already had tea and coffee.

In the morning, when I wake up Fajar, I have tea once and coffee once.

By the way, think

has she ever said anything to you, or tried to tell you something?

What?

Are you still scared?

No, someone wrongly said that I’m timid.

I’m just not that Manto.

Have you ever been in love?

I said, let me ask.

Tell me…

have you ever been in love?

Never!

Do you think you’ll ever fall in love?

Never!

Then the matter is over.

Eat the sweets.

Go on, eat.

I came just to ask this.

Now you’re sticking to this topic too

Her wedding is on the 8th.

Even if love starts to happen, don’t let it

because you don’t meet the standards for love.

Where is aunty?

Peer Makki

No, she didn’t go to Peer Makki.

She went to Mehmal’s university

to distribute sweets in celebration of the wedding being finalized.

So Mehmal won’t go there now?

She says that

She’s spoken with Surraiya.

She said that now that the wedding is happening, the study phase is over.

So what about breakfast, will she even have it at her in-laws?

She says she’ll manage in her room.

She’s happy about this wedding, isn’t she?

really?

Since when are you asking

whether Amritsari girls are happy about their weddings or not?

Anyway, she’s very happy.

Today she’s going shopping for herself.

What’s the date today?

I don’t know,

but there are 12 days left until the wedding.

Will you come shopping with me?

I want you to take me along even there

Where?

to your in-laws.

Tell them that Atiya can’t stay without me.

Oh wow!

Now that I’m leaving, so you've fallen in love with me

I can’t believe you’re really going.

What happened?

I can’t believe it either.

Look at this…

We were worried, didn’t know what he’d do

but he sat down to compose tunes.

I’m so grateful

Now don’t get angry with him.

Love has softened him;

he’s immersed in the art of fine music.

Don't make more

Will you go to the university today?

yes dad

Hmm..

So, how many years have you been at your university now

One and a half years.

One and a half years…

and in that time, get all these people married.

I was thinking…

if Farhad agrees

Shouldn’t we also have his wedding on October 8th?

Wow Khadeeja!

You don’t let me take my share of revenge

I’ll have the elder one’s wedding later, and the younger one’s first.

Go to Peer Makki

sweep there and come back.

All thanks to Allah

And what does your flashy little one say?

If I talk to her, she starts crying.

You mean she’s not willing to come here?

I never told her she had to stay in Pakistan.

So what did she say?

I told you, she started crying.

She says I’m being unfaithful.

You mean, if she stays in her homeland, it counts as your unfaithfulness?

But..

She was born there, Mom.

So, dear, tell her…

that you were born here.

I didn’t give birth to my son to gift him to Australia

Do you cry listening to her words too?

Bin Yamin has given birth to lovers like himself

Okay, have your breakfast.

The brothers’ bond will grow strong.

He’ll sit and compose tunes, you’ll write sad songs.

And you…

I’ve heard you sing too,

so you should sing.

Make your own band,

Go ahead, play our music!

By the way, Mom, I’ve heard you sing very well too.

Yes, so what should I do then?

Become the lead singer?

I heard you’ve composed a tune.

Ahad was saying that you’ve made a really good tune.

I’ll listen to it from you tonight.

We’ll all sit together in the evening

and have dinner.

You play the tune, and we’ll listen.

May I?

Yes, back in my youth…

you used to play?

Yes, I remember a little. I’ll show you…

Let me try

not this one, the one with the other cord.

Oh yes, okay… I told you already.

Very nice!

I gave one basket to your Deen, one to Maria Chohan, and divided the other four among the students.

Everyone was asking for you.

So she’s not coming now?

I said no!

She bowed her head before love.

Bowed before love? Means?

Isn’t this love?

Just yesterday, I fought your case with all my heart.

I convinced a woman as hard as your mother that Gurya would study,

I even went against your father’s wishes

And now you’re saying that for the sake of a wedding, you won’t attend university

So where does love come in?

I'll fall in love after the wedding.

Sit down, I’m tired.

I even met Sir Manto

and gave him a basket too.

Yes, so what were you saying?

Love will happen after the wedding.

And meeting that rascal made me realize that even after the wedding, he won’t fall in love

Come on, get ready quickly.

We’ll eat something and head to the market.

Did he eat the sweets?

Everyone ate,

though there was less for the students.

I am asking about Sir Manto. Did he eat?

Why wouldn’t he?

I said, “Eat, Mister, it’s celebratory sweets.”

Your beloved’s wedding is on the 8th, and he ate it as soon as he hear

Maria Chohan was giving big congratulations.

Congratulations to her as well!

So what would he do?

He’d just pick up the basket and throw it away

That he doesn’t even want Mehmal’s wedding sweets

Well, it’s good that he ate it

it even cooled my heart a bit.

He doesn’t even know

what love is.

You'll see..

he’ll come to your wedding.

And he’ll wear an expensive suit.

Who’s talking about him, Aunty?

So what do you think, am I just talking like this for no reason?

I’m answering everything you say.

Look at your eyes..

I answer one question, and your eyes ask another one

Go and offer some Nafl prayers;

he doesn’t qualify for love.

What are you looking at?

Look ahead…

Aunty, I even said we should take Atiya along with us.

She manages ten different things at once.

In war, enemies don’t take spies along, you know.

Which war, Aunty? Oh you are so..

Look at him

What happened?

He’s already started shopping!

Lets go, aunty!

Come on

Sit down!

Hands up!

Yes dad..

Where are you?

I came to the studio to record a song.

Sure?

Sure, dad

Someone saw you and called me, saying you were out with your guards.

I always go out, Dad. I have my security with me

If you want, I can send them back.

No, no, there’s no need. Keep them with you.

Okay dad

Have you eaten?

No, I’ll eat after finishing work.

Good luck!

Thank you, dad!

Not even this, Sir?

No..

Sir, other than this, we don’t have anything else for you.

But outside it’s written that all types of men’s wear are available.

Sir, we don’t even know your exact type.

Make a bill for whatever I’ve bought.

Sir, the bill will be at the counter.

Look at him..

Who knows what all he’s buying.

Lets go, Karam Ullah

Wake up, Karam Ullah!

What happened to him?

He won’t wake up.

You guys get up and come out respectfully.

Come..

Mehmal, come here

Lets go!

Hey hey! Where are you guys going?

Move!

Move aside!

Move away!

I’ve composed a tune for you,

written poetry too,

and today I’ll make you sit and listen.

Hey!

Hold them! Come on

When I saw you,

I started making a tune even then. I’ll let everyone hear it, in front of everyone. You write the poetry yourself, understand?

What are you saying?

Just a little while ago, when I called, he said he was in the studio.

No, Dad, he was lying.

Put the phone down…

let’s go home.

What happened?

How much longer will you run away?

Yes..

It seems we’ve dodged them.

Now there’s no need to run.

When the time comes to fight, why run, Sir?

That’s what we don’t know, Mian Sahab

whether she’s with the rescuer or has fallen into their trap.

Bin Yamin would act like this.

My heart isn’t convinced, Siraj.

We’ll deal with our feelings later, Mian Sahab.

For now, just focus on what’s in front of you.

I’m keeping the phone.

For the first time in 70 years, it feels like the enemy isn’t being respectful.

And for the first time in 70 years, it feels like we’re behind in settling accounts with him.

So, Shamrez Amritsari…

today I command you

if the matter isn’t fully resolved, don’t return.

Okay dad!

Stop, Shamrez.

Stop!

Stop, Shamrez

Just wait, my dear.

Let me look at you with my heart full.

Let her see as much as she wishes.

Now go, my son.

May Allah protect you.
