Original subtitles

Sorry, sorry.

Hey, you!

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

How was the grocery run?

I need to groceries.

Let's go.

This is the most expensive video I've ever made.

To be or not to be, that is the question.

Whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows,

of outrageous fortune or to take arms against the sea of troubles,

by opposing end them, to die or to sleep,

by asleep to say, re-end the heartache and thousand natural shocks that flashes here..

to test the consummation, to die

or to sleep, to be or not to be,

that is the question.

Zamil... Why do you keep saying Zamil all the time?

People worship God right now and you…

look at the time.

How did I fall asleep here?

You were on the phone, you just fell asleep.

I didn't even wake you up.

I had a bad dream, grandma.

About yourself?

No, about Zamil.

(Reciting in Arabic)

He isn't picking up the phone.

I'll check and come.

Where is he?

Hey!

Where are you going at this time?

Zaryab..

Zaryab..

Why is he not picking up my call?

Where did I keep them?

Zamil, listen, pick up my calls. I am just so stressed about you.

Hello.

Yes, Habib..

Mom, is everything alright?

Are you feeling okay?

I am fine, but Zaryab has left somewhere.

Zaryab?

Uncle Shakur, uncle Shakur, open the gate.

She was sleeping here with me, all of a sudden she got up and saw Zamil in her dream.

You stop her. Is this the time?

Yes, sir.

Has Zaryab come out?

She has left, sir.

With the driver or alone?

No sir, the driver is sleeping, she left alone.

Okay, bye.

Did I wake you up?

No.

I was awake, I was listening to your recitation.

You don't have fever.

How are you feeling?

When he placed his hand on the burning fire, the Messiah reached within the soul.

You are my Messiah, you are on path shower, I see you smiling, I wish all my life.

What would I have done if you were not there?

With you, my whole world has come alive.

Will you recite Surah Rahman for me?

One minute, I will get the tablet.

What happened?

Zaryab has gone to Zamil's house.

Ma is worried sick.

Call her, find out what is the reason for going at this time.

Ma is also getting tensed on small things and get her BP high.

She has not gone to a stranger's house, she is his fiancée.

But love, come on, at this time, at least take the driver along.

Hello.

Zaryab, where did you go without telling anyone? You should have told someone.

I knew that grandma was going to do this.

I am going to Zamil's house, I will come back in a while, don't worry.

But what happened that you had to go to his house?

What happened mom?

I have had a bad dream about him. You know his mental health these days. I am just stressed about him.

I am coming.

Please hang up the phone, I am driving.

Please.

Hmm.

She had a bad dream.

You know how emotional she gets about Zamil.

But love, you are going at this time, middle of the night, come on.

Okay fine, when she comes home, you explain it to her.

But she will not listen to anything about Zamil, I can tell you that.

It must be ma, either you go and explain it to her or you keep this receiver on the side, or else she will call you again and again.

Come on, I cannot keep ma's phone on the side.

Yes ma.

Yes Habib, what happened?

Ma, she is at home in her room, I have stopped her.

Listen, I am going to sleep now, you also rest.

Yes, yes, fine, go to sleep.

Wow.

You have only one solution to every problem, a lie.

Yes, but this one will be caught, she is my mother.

Are you feeling better? Yes.

A lot. You should have been Hafiz-e-Quran, Abu Bakar.

I don't know why I didn't think to make you memorize it.

Its not too late, you order me, I will do it now.

What is the use of me saying it, its God's will, he opens the heart and mind for the Quran.

No doubt.

Its late son, I think I should go to sleep.

I slept so well last night, now its morning.

You too go, sleep for a while.

Yes mama, do you want anything else?

No son, if I want anything, I will get it, I am fine.

Mama, why does this happen to you every year on grandpa's death anniversary?

Because he was my heart, son, he used to live here.

When he left, he took a part of my heart.

This heart still beats, but slowly.

The day he left, this heart forgets to beat for a little while every year.

And then?

Then you come in front of me, it starts beating again.

That is why I am telling you, I can never go away from you.

I cannot leave you.

Even if you leave, you will stay here.

Here.

If you want anything, let me know.

Yes ma'am.. Yes.

Hello, Zaryab, is everything okay?

You please open the door, to your entrance.

Outside?

I am standing outside your house entrance.

Oh my God.

What happened, Zaryab?

Will you tell me this?

Aunty, I had a horrible dream about Zamil and he is not picking up my phone.

He is not responding to my text voice.

He never does that.

You please open the door. What happened? He must be sleeping.

Have you seen the time?

Aunty, please open the door quickly.

Thank you.

I am so fed up of your paranoia, if not about yourself, care about others.

Zamil, open the door.

Zamil, open the door.

I have been calling you since hours, you are not reverting to me, texting you. Can you just look at your phone?

The phone was on silent.

And are you mad?

You came here alone so late at night.

I can come as late as I want for you.

I can take any risk for you.

And the kind of nightmare I had about you, I had to come and see.

What can be a bigger nightmare than such a bad GPA?

Zamil, its okay, appear again.

I don't want to.

Okay, tell me, what can I do for you?

What can I do to make you feel better?

You don't waste your time for me and go to Harvard.

We both had to go, it was our dream.

So you got your admission, I didn't, you can go.

Its okay, you can prepare again, I will wait for you, I will take a gap period, its okay, I will wait for you.

You will leave Harvard for me, you will waste your semester.

I can do anything for you, what is Harvard?

You don't understand, I want to celebrate your success.

You got into Harvard, its a big deal.

I don't want to spoil your moment of success.

You and I are not separate, we are one.

Your failure is my failure, my success is your success, that's it.

Whatever, I will take admission in any university except for Ivy league, I am not targeting Harvard anyway.

Fine then, I will go wherever you go.

Don't be silly.

Zamil, there is no value in my life without you, you are everything.

What did you see in your dreams about me, Zaryab?

Grandmother says that if I see a bad dream, I shouldn't repeat it, that is why I will not repeat it.

You know, if you were not in my life, I would have taken any such step.

What step?

The same thing you saw in my dreams about me.

Zaryab, you are everything to me.

Take care, okay?

Zaryab, thank you.

Thank you for always being there for me.

There is no thank you and sorry in between us.

I am really sleepy, grandma.

I am really tired, let's talk in the morning.

Good night.

Love you.

Good night.

It is morning, child.

Will you marry me?

Hello?

Hello?

You are sir, Abubakar's mother speaking?

Yes child, I am speaking.

Who are you?

Sure, the cards will come today, if not today, they will come tomorrow.

Start making your list.

Dad, my entire list was final which I made for you. I am all prepared. Yes, that must be all prepared.

Its your wedding, we'll do everything after asking from the chief guest.

Okay listen, ask ma if you want to call anyone.

Yes, yes, of course.

Greetings ma. You have a long life. We were just talking about you.

Greetings ma.

Where is Zaryab?

She must be sleeping.

You know how difficult it is for her to wake up in the morning.

If she will come home at 4.30 in the morning, then how will she wake up?

What did you people think?

You will lie to your mother?

She won't find out.

Ma, we lied because of your worry.

You worry about such small things.

Shamsa, the young daughter is missing from this house at this time of the night. Is this a small worry for you?

Ma, he's her friend.

She didn't go out to have fun.

She was worried so she left.

He dropped her himself.

What kind of friendship is this Habib?

Tell me, between a young boy and a young girl.

I mean, a young boy and a young girl are roaming around at night, no relation, no relationship.

What kind of upbringing is this?

He is her fiancé mom. When did she get engaged?

Now we will not tell you everything.

The relation is almost fixed, we will get them engaged too.

And engagement is no such relation that the girl leaves the house at any time.

Hey grandma, why are you talking about the old times?

We know what is good and bad.

You know what is good and bad after there is good and bad.

If everyone knew what is good and bad, then the world would have become very smart.

Grandma, we have known Zamil since childhood.

We have known him coming and going to this house. Our family knows his family. Now you will find bad things in everything.

Habib, these thoughts and ways are not right.

Ma, you know that she has to go to America.

You don't worry, you have breakfast.

Shamsa, will you get hot parathas for ma?

I will get them made.

Hot parathas.

Will you have french toast in the meantime?

No, let her come.

You cannot rest even for a day.

And I don't make you breakfast?

I will have breakfast.

And where is your Sakina?

I told you, she has taken a leave, she has to go to the wedding.

Again?

Whenever I come, she has gone on a leave to attend the wedding.

I think she has a contract to attend all the weddings in the village.

A girl called.

She was asking, are you Sir Abu Bakar's mother?

I said yes.

Then?

She hung up.

You didn't give my number to any girl.

I will never give your number to any girl.

I will make her talk to you directly.

I will see who the girl is.

Hello?

She hung up.

Yes.

Strange.

I think you should get married now.

I will get married.

The wedding is not going anywhere, nor are the girls.

First of all, whenever the mother wants, she starts her self-pitying session.

She doesn't care for the servants, nor does she care for the feelings of the children.

People become like this at this age.

I have told you before, ignore it.

There is a lot going on with your ma.

I have seen the elders of other families, they don't do as much as your mother does.

The girls say all the time, because the grand parents of their friends don't talk like their grandma does.

She is going according to the old times, she has a traditional thinking.

She just talk.

You don't realize it, but they are the children of today.

They don't listen to me, nor do they listen to you.

That is their greatness, and my upbringing, that they don't say anything to mom.

You two are crazy, she is not in her senses, nor are you.

I mean, you people don't see what time it is.

She came here alone at three in the morning, and then you went to drop her.

Okay, leave it.

By the way, there should be a formal announcement of Zaryab and Zamil's engagement.

I was thinking that she is going to Harvard, so before that, if she has any such plan…

What if she has a plan?

Her whole family is crazy about Zaryab, that is why I don't stop her,

so when we say it, they will send the proposal.

I am a little reluctant because of Faryal, if something happens for her first,

then we will talk about her.

Faryal is getting married, so why don't we do a small ceremony for her as well.

Okay, fine, but make your mother understand, or else I will have a fight with her.

I will always take my mother's side, I am telling you.

I am not amused at all.

Where is Meena? There is no one in the kitchen, I have to have breakfast, there is no one to make breakfast. I am not amused at all.

Where is Meena? There is no one in the kitchen, I have to have breakfast, there is no one to make breakfast.

You too start doing some work, if you go to America, who will make your breakfast all the time?

I am not going to Harvard, cancel the admission.

What do you mean?

Did she not get the admission too? No she got the admission.

But she said she'll go where I go. So we're forcing you to increase your GPA, so that you could go there too.

I've decided, I will not improve my GPA. That is downright stupid.

If he doesn't want to improve and get admission somewhere else, but you've been accepted in Harvard.

Mummy, I'm obviously going to go where Zamil is going.

I mean if you didn't get admission there, why are you destroying her career?

Career? Which career?

You think I'm forbidding Zaryab to get admission?

Did you talk to Zamil about it? I did but why would he stop me from doing anything? You know I don't listen to anyone.

I'm going to go where he goes. Please. Seriously, this stubbornness of yours,

It annoys me very much.

Sometimes you say this and make me angry. It triggers me.

Look we're getting late. Can I have my jacket please? Yes.

Looking very nice. Thank you but we're not done talking yet, okay?

Dad, please I don't want to talk about this. I've made up my mind and you know when I make up my mind, I make it up.

Look, grandma is a little upset. Make it up to her, okay? Why is grandma upset with me?

Why is she upset? What happened?

Keep grandma being upset aside for now. The lightening you struck me with early in the morning,

I want to talk about that. Mummy, I cannot talk right now.

The most important problem of my life right now is breakfast. How? Where?

Where? Zarru I'm trying to talk to you seriously.

I'm leaving for now. Zaryab..

Listen to me.. Kulsoom, bring my food to my room.

Zamil..

You mix my clothes with Shamsa and the girls. Go and find them. I'll do this. I'll get them.

Is this how its folded? They don't work. We have to teach them everything, holding their hands. Its the limit.

I've heard, someone is upset with me.

Do you care about someone being upset?

What is this way to eat? Sit and eat properly.

If you walk and eat, you'll choke on your food.

My lord.. like this?

In the name of God..

Sometimes I get so angry on you..

But when I see your face, my anger settles like water.

Why do I love you so much Zaryab? Grandma..

I love you too. Alright.. Move..

You have nothing straightened up. Why are you always saying I love you too.

Didn't grandpa ever say I love you too to you, or maybe you said so...

We were not shameless. Our families decided our wedding.

Sad life, grandma.. Why? Whats sad about it?

People were full of shame at that time.

Not like today's world. All shame has vanished somewhere.

And what should I talk about the world, my entire house is disturbed itself.

Don't be sad. I came to sit with you and talk. We'd make the guest list for Faryal's wedding.

Do you want to invite someone?

Why not? Do I have not anyone? I will definitely invite. The first card will go to Khushbakht.

Khushbakht? Yes, the one who comes from Hyderabad to meet me after every few months.

Oh yes. Yes. Where does this Khushbakht aunty lives?

Mom you have a call.

Hello? This is some boy speaking.

It must be her son. Yes, this is Zaryab,

Whats your name? What?

What is your name? You don't remember my name while I'm alive. What will you do when I die? Who will you ask?

Kishwer Jahan.. You're Kishwer aunt's granddaughter?

Yes, actually I needed your postal address. I wanted to send a wedding invite.

Yes of course. Please write it down. House number 328, street number 34..

Qasimabad, Hyderabad.

Will you text me? You can do that in Urdu.

If I send it in Urdu, you might not be able to read it. I'll send it in English.

Do you have Whatsapp on this phone? Yes of course. We have Whatsapp. My grandmother is not that ancient.

I'll text. Alright.

Anything else. Nothing. Bye.

You should have made me talk. Oh yes. Sorry.

Where is your brain? He was telling me such a weird address.. Street, neighborhood..

House.. English has eaten away at you. You don't understand basic address.

I've sent you my address. Actually grandma wants to talk to your mom.

Mom actually was offering prayers. I'll make you talk to her once she's done.

Alright, thank you.

Oh.. She's offering prayers. She'll call you back.

Whose call was it dear?

Kishwer aunt's granddaughter. She was asking for our address to send a wedding invite.

Her elder granddaughter was engaged. She would be asking for her.

I haven't talked to her since long. Call her and make me talk.

Mom, just give me a minute.

I'll make you talk.

If I could I'd have fixed your marriage here.

With Abu Bakar. Abu Bakar?
