Hello.

Brother, please inform the family inside

that the cleric is here to Master Sunny’s quran teachings.

Please come inside. I will inform them.

No. No.

First tell them.

It doesn’t seem appropriate for me

to come inside without permission.

Please stay here for two minutes.

I will inform them right away.

Hello sir.

Oh my son…come.

When you meet someone,

you should greet them and wish them properly.

I told you about this yesterday as well.

Did you forget?

Yes I remember.

May God shower his blessings upon…

Upon you…

Upon you sir.

Good boy.

Our master sunny is such a good boy.

Shall we start reading the Quran?

Alright and yes don’t call me Sir…

you can call me Molvi or Maulana.

Do you know that when I came to your house yesterday,

sister Iman made me memorize my lesson.

I really had fun.

I have become good friends with her

and with sister Haya as well.

Yes they were also praising you

and they said that Sunny is a very good boy.

I told you.

I have become good friends with your family.

Yes.

But why weren’t you at home yesterday.

Yesterday?

It was… how do you pronounce

that in English… Wednesday.

Yes…

Wednesday.

My friends come on this day

and we go about preaching Islam on that day together.

What is that?

My son, it is when we go out in the neighborhood

and advise people to do good deed,

we preach them to pray

and we convince them to come to the mosque to pray.

Okay but no one prays in my house.

You should come to our home to preach.

Yes. I will definitely come to your house to preach.

I think we have talked enough.

Let us start.

You know what Tous is?

The initial part of Bismillah is called Tous.

Come on.

Don’t emotionally black mail me like mother and father.

I am very happy with my life here

and I am satisfied with the freedom I have here.

Don’t call me to Pakistan. I feel suffocated there.

This isn’t true brother.

We all really miss you a lot.

Besides, father is now thinking

of naming you as the next leader for his political party

because he has made brother Sajjad responsible for all the business.

He is the head of the business now.

Really and he didn’t give you any responsibility?

I think you are taking advantage of being

the youngest in the house.

Let me come back once.

I will tell father to involve you in one of his new ventures.

No. This isn’t true.

I have not been spared at all.

I am looking after the household chores nowadays.

What?

Household chores? What do you mean?

I mean that I am responsible for arranging the venue,

the event and all.

What could be more fun? Enjoy yourself.

Tell me, how is Sunny? Does he miss me?

He misses you a lot.

He is always asking as to when you will come back.

What is interesting is hat

he has even started learning the Quran.

He greets everyone is a typical Arabic accent.

Great! When did this happen?

I don’t know.

He insisted that a cleric should come and teach him.

Mother and sister in law are worried.

They fear that this cleric might convert Sunny into

a fundamentalist like him and above that…

Sunny told everyone and home

that everyone will pray from now on.

Tell me, where did this cleric come from?

I don’t know. I think Shakir brought him.

I guess he was his old neighbor.

Oh…

speaking of Shakir, he asks a lot about you.

He misses you a lot. He told me to say hello to you.

Tell him I said hello as well.

I miss him a lot as well.

I spent my entire childhood with him.

Mother and father never had time.

Do you remember when you were young,

you would come to the servant quarter

as soon as you would come back from school.

Yes.

Yes. Oh I remember,

Shakir told me that Nighat has been betrothed

but he will marry her off once you are back.

Night and betrothed?

Who is marrying that lizard?

Who is ruining his life?

Tell her I asked her.

Infact

I will send some things for Nighat and Shakir

at my friend’s address.

Give it to them without telling the family.

Okay brother.

I have done this for you several times before as well.

I know.

Alright, I should get going.

I will talk to you later.

Bye.

Hello uncle!

Hey!

Hello.

Hello my son!

Uncle I wrote to you that I would come by myself.

Why did you bother?

I would have been restless had I stayed at home

and waited for you.

That is why I thought

that I would come and receive you at the station.

Where is your luggage?

Here it is.

Okay. There is a taxi waiting for you.

Nowadays it is difficult to find a horse carriage ride

and it has been replaced by Cinqui ride.

I feel afraid while sitting on it.

It feels as if you are sitting on mood ride.

Come.

Tell me, is everything fine at home?

Yes. Yes. Everything is fine.

Hey Rashida?

Rashida where are you?

Look…

Abdullah is here.

Haya and Iman, where are you?

Touchwood.

Hello aunty.

Hello.

Touchwood, you are a grown up now.

How are you all?

We are all fine.

You tell, how are you?

We have heard that you will win the title this time.

Haya,

you have started teasing your brother already.

This time I have prepared enough to get the certificate.

By the way,

your challenger sister Iman has already read a lot of books.

Be careful.

Yes. It will be fun arguing with Iman and Abdullah.

Great!

It was these father and daughter at first

and now we have one more person.

Oh no aunty.

I have already booked a room at the university’s hostel.

I will live there.

It would be convenient for me if I stay near the university.

What are you saying?

No.

You will live here.

I am surprised as to how they allowed you

to book a room in advance during Ramzan.

Uncle,

father didn’t agree but I want…

Enough of it!

It is decided.

Go to the university

and inform them about this in the morning tomorrow.

Okay?

Now go.

Your room is ready upstairs.

Take a bath and freshen up.

We will have lunch together.

Come, brother Abdullah.

Touchwood.

Come in the kitchen.

We are going in the kitchen to cook.

Yes. Yes. You go.

It is connected. Go and call mother.

Grandmother!

We have connected with uncle over skype.

Is it Madi?

Yes it is Madi.

He has been insisting since morning that

he wants to talk to him.

He is online!

Hello brother.

This master insisted

that he wont have his milk until he talks to you.

Hey Sunny! What’s up?

May God shower his blessings upon you uncle Madi.

How are you?

Great!

Someone is behaving well today.

Move…

my child, drink your milk.

Let me talk to him.

Here you go.

So Madi? How are you?

Hey mother! How are you?

Where were you?

You should ask enquire about your parents as well.

Brother Madi,

it isn’t appropriate to enquire what the adults are doing!

Don’t be silly.

You should be serious sometimes!

Tell me, how is the commissioner doing?

I have heard that he has been getting a lot of fame in politics.

You wont behave.

Your father is upset with you.

You will call him today at all cost.

Fine. I will call him mother but I need a favour.

I need money.

Can you ask father

and have some money transferred to my account please?

When are you coming back?

The semester has already ended.

When are your vacations starting?

Uncle Madi,

I have learnt how to fly a kite!

Now when you will come, we will go on the roof and fly kites.

Fine mother.

I will come.

Please have some money transferred to my account.

Mother, I should get going. I have some work.

I will talk to you later.

Okay son, bye.

Good boy, you should drink milk.

Give this to me.

Infact bring it here.

I will feed you. Finish your milk.

Pakistan!

Aunty,

mother sent these for you.

Why did she have to do all this?

I told her not to but she still sent so many things.

Aunty its nothing. You are family.

Haya, this is for you and Iman.

Mother look…

aunty sent such a beautiful dress.

Yes it is very nice.

Now you will go around the house bragging about it.

Sister Iman look… this is so beautiful.

Yes it is very beautiful.

Aunty, mother sent this especially for Iman

and she has said that Iman should use it.

Sister look, how beautiful it is.

I have been looking for this for so long.

Yes, if you like it you can keep it.

Besides I don’t wear this.

Why?

It came for you. You should keep it.

Her greed is increasing. Give it back to your sister.

It isn’t like I was going to keep it.

I was just saying.

Haya, don’t worry.

Give this to Iman.

I will bring another one for you from the market.

Sure?

Sure.

Haya,

go and bring tea for brother Abdullah.

I will go and make tea.

Oh no aunty…

I don’t want to have tea. I had it already.

And is mother alright?

Yes but she was crying when I left.

You can wear it. It’s fine.

This is also not a stranger’s home.

This is your own home.

This one is prettier right?

Yes. It would look nice.

Carefully!

Oh brother!

Oh!

For God’s sake guys,

this is a car and not a plane

that you are driving it at a speed of one fifty.

If you don’t like it,

then you should hang out with your boring friends

and discuss politics with them.

Don’t come with us.

Madi, I was flying!

Had this continued,

we all would be flying by now

and you would have been held responsible!

I recently fell in love with Maria!

Maria!

You fell in love again!

Great!

You will enjoy the next three months.

Good.

Don’t make fun! Cupid will get upset.

Cupid?

Who is Cupid?

Angel of love.

Angel of love! Are you crazy?

Does love or cupid exist in this world?

Yes Madi,

there is this myth about love.

What is that?

You seriously haven’t heard of his myth?

No! Tell me what it is?

As per the myth,

if you mock love

then the angel will get angry with you

and then he will punish you.

Okay.

Uncle Cupid?

Where are you?

I am making fun of love!

Please throw arrows at me!

Uncle Cupid? Where are you?

Please… I made fun of your love!

Throw arrows at me!

Hurt me!

You can't hurt me! Throw arrows at me?

Hurt me! Where are you?

What is it? Did you get afraid?

It is just the door.

Sister Iman, shut the window.

The wind is very strong.

It seems as if a storm is going to come.

It seems that a storm will come today as well.

Haya,

go to Brother Abdullah’s room and bring my books.

My books are in his room.

Oh I had forgotten.

That room used to be your library.

What will happen now sister Iman!

Brother Abdullah lives there now.

It doesn’t matter.

I will keep my books here.

Do as you are told.

You have started advising me like an old person again…

talk less… talk softly… walk properly.

You have an old soul inside of you.

Haya,

I sent you to bring a tray from the room.

Are you making one?

She is so lazy!

Oh sister! You busied me with your talks.

I am off to work.

Crazy!

You ask who I am at every step…

you tell me… is this a way to talk?

Where the body got burnt…

the heart must have gotten burnt as well.

You go through the ashes… what are you looking for?

Ahem!

Haya!

When did you come?

When you were lost in your world of thoughts.

By the way brother Abdullah,

tell me why are people

who are always studying so lost all the time?

Sister Iman over there is the same.

She would stare at a page for hours.

Don’t you get it if you read something just once?

This is how people like us are.

Everyone isn’t as clever as you are

who would understand everything at a glance.

People like us need time.

Are you praising me or teasing me?

Oh! Before I forget…

actually sister Iman had turned this room into her library.

Some of her books are here. I came to get those.

Yes.

I was going through some of her books.

She really likes books.

I remember

she would save her pocket money

and ask me to bring book.

Even today

she has the best of treasures.

Leave this book with me.

You can take the rest.

Tell Iman that I will return it once I finish it.

That is fine. You keep it.

I will tell her.

I know very well that

you are not just there for the degree.

Look my son,

your mother misses you and I also need you.

What are you saying father?

You know that I can't go into politics.

Brother Sajjad is best suited for this.

Besides, he has a vast experience in family politics.

Politics is a full time job.

I would like you to come and run my business.

Your brother Ibad is immature.

I can't trust him with my business.

Father, why are you getting me involved in this mess.

I called you to ask you to transfer

a small amount in my account but…

Alright son.

You will get your money on time

but next time…

if you won't find time for the family

and if you don’t come to Pakistan,

there will a major budget cut.

Remember that.

Father, this is blackmailing.

This isn’t blackmailing.

This is politics.

Father…

this won't work out.

I think I will have to talk to mother once at home.

Do you know sister Haya,

I eat an ice cram daily during break.

I will bring one for you as well tomorrow.

This isn’t a good habit. Your teeth will rot.

So what?

I brush daily…

in the morning and at night.

My teeth are really strong.

Sister Iman,

I will bring one for you as well.

Sister Iman only eats air.

Hide the ice cream in your bag and bring it.

We will eat it together.

Just make sure father doesn’t find out.

As you wish sister Haya.

What are you two talking about?

Haya what are you teaching the child?

Sunny you will do no such thing.

If you do such a thing

then sister Iman will not talk to you.

Alright as you wish sister Iman.

Sunny will do as you say.

I know.

Sunny is a very good kid unlike sister Haya.

Okay sister Iman,

when you come to my home…

I will show you my toys and my room.

I know that your room must be really nice

and I am sure your toys must be really nice as well.

But Sunny we cant go outside

and that is why we call you here

so that we could meet you and teach you.

This isn’t fair!

I will talk to Maulana myself to send you two to my place.

You two should look at my toys.

My uncle Madi…

he sends me video games.

I will show those to you as well.

Fine.

We will talk about it later.

Finish your lesson.

Good boy.

Mother look, does it look nice?

It looks really nice.

My daughter’s stitching is so neat.

Hello.

Good. Good.

Learn your lesson.

Abdullah will teach you a new lesson in a bit.

So Abdullah last year,

the roof started leaking from

several places during the monsoon season.

I collected some donation

and got the gaps filled

but

before the next monsoon season

if we don’t get plaster pasted on it,

then this fix will be temporary.

Just like always,

there will be water everywhere.

Don’t worry uncle.

I will manage this work this time.

Just tell me the number of people who can pray here.

Also I feel that we should do this before winter.

You are right but

will be able to collect this much donation.

No need to worry.

I will make announcements in the mosques nearby

that we need donations.

Rest we should have faith in God.

God willing,

I am sure we will able to collect the amount we need.

Since you’ve come here,

I feel so strong.

You have to manage thing here now.

I just remember,

Sunny first section is about to end.

So there is a chance

that we will get paid by the commissioner in a week or so.

This is good.

So this means that

we can get the repair work started form next week only.

Yes. Yes. If God wills…

Sure.

Hello.

How are you?

Good. You?

Thanks to God I am fine.

So come…

I will give you the details of the repair in the hall.

We just need to decide as to

where the work should be started.

Come.

By the way brother Madi,

I still can't believe that you are here

and that too on such a short notice.

I had no other option.

Besides they say

that it isn’t wise to fight with a retired bureaucrat.

I thought I would come and meet everyone in Pakistan.

But big man has other plans for you.

For example?

Do you know uncle Dilawar…

his business cum politics partner?

Yes.

His most beautiful daughter…

she comes to our home often now.

She was with you in o levels.

Narmeen?

Yes. Yes.

What happened to her?

She used to be sensible person.

Brother Madi, don’t pretend.

I know well

that before leaving she was your first and your last crush.

There were a dozen girls

who were good friends with me

and they all thought that

they were my first and last crush.

But this doesn’t mean

that father becomes serious for me for every girl.

I don’t agree with your statement

that all the girls were your friends.

By the way,

you may be young but you are very clever.

Let us go home.

Do we have to go straight to home?

No. Let us go to Narmeen’s home.

Ah! Finally!

After a long time!

May God shower his blessings upon you.

May he shower his blessings on you as well.

Rashida!

Rashia I am home.

Haya?

Haya?

Haya, your father is here.

Yes. Yes.

Hello.

I will bring tea for you.

No. No. First,

give me a glass of water.

I will bring it right away.

Hello uncle.

Hello.

Uncle you look very tired. Is everything alright?

Yes.

Thanks to God!

Abdullah I am really tired.

At first I went tot the market

and then after that I went to enquire

about the Hafiz of Jamia e Karim.

He isn’t well.

Then it was time for Sunny’s lesson so I went there.

Uncle,

I have told you

that I will look after the chores of the house and the mosque.

You shouldn’t go to the market.

Father, today Sunny was supposed

to finish the first section of the Quran right?

Yes he completed it.

Touchwood.

He is a very intelligent child but…

these rich people… they are so strange.

What happened?

They turned this blessing into a celebration.

I have heard that

mistress is throwing a party to celebrate this.

So now there will be parties over this as well?

But I know that Sunny must be really happy.

Yes, Sunny was happy.

Do you know Ibad

that Tipu came in his new car

and Mrs. Hamdani also shifted to her new house?

How does this matter mother?

Yes. You can say this.

You live in such a big house.

You have all these privileges that is why.

Hello everyone!

Great! Everyone is here today.

Everyone?

But where is that prince of ours?

Since he came, we have hardly seen him.

I don’t know what is wrong with that boy.

I told him to come home early

and that we will have together

but he still hasn’t come.

It would be better

we if we don’t expect him to come home.

You know he is not used to staying at home in the evening.

He goes out in the evening.

It would be better that we all have dinner.

Very good suggestion.

Please have dinner served. I will go and freshen up.

I will have dinner served.

Go and call your wife.

Okay.

Bye!

Hey Madi!

Hmm?

Will you be able to drive?

Why?

Haven’t I driven before in this state before?

Wait for some time. Sleep here.

Go in the morning.

No. I know myself.

If I sleep right now,

I will wake up tomorrow in the evening.

I should get going. Thanks for the party!

Come on buddy! Drive carefully.

Next weekend, it will be at Ramsha’s place.

Okay.

Don’t forget.

Alright Ramsha.

Bye!

Bye!

And yes, call me when you get home.

Yes I will if I reach home.

Okay.

Okay bye. Bye.
