Runaway Lovers Face Family Conflict and Police Pursuit

Why are you sitting like that? How else should I sit? Lie down.Rest for a little while.

I’m not going to lie down on this dirty bed. It is smelly. Oh, it smells. Let’s do one thing.

Let’s book a room in a Five Star Hotel for the Princess. What do you say? Saim, how long are we just going to wander around like this? We neither took our Marriage Vows nor were we able to go to Grandpa’s house.

Roshna is not talking to me, my family is mad at me on the other hand, Dad is in the Hospital and he is unwell. And all of this is my fault?

I’m not saying that it’s your fault but … what are we going to do now? Zu, everything is right before you.

Saim, you had said that you will set everything right. Well, it’s not like I have a magic wand which I will wave and everything will be set! I am trying and I’m at it.

You can see it all. It doesn’t just… Okay…

Okay, atleast don’t be mad at me. Look, I had promised you that I will set everything right. So, I will do it.

Have a little trust in me. Don’t talk to me like that. Okay, I won’t. I’m sorry.

Sorry, man. I did say it, Zu. Zu… I’m hungry.

Come then, let’s go out and have something. That’s right. I feel suffocated in here anyways.

Come along then, you get ready and let’s go out and eat something. Hmm…

Let me just take a shower and come back. After that we’ll…. Oh, man!

Everything has to be upside down with you. Come on, get up. Come along. Let’s go Where’s your shawl?

Let’s move. Where are you off to, brother? Come here.

We were hungry. So we were going out to get some food. Oh, okay. Sister, please go in for a little bit.

I had something important to discuss. I’ll tell Sakina. She’ll make something for you guys for dinner. Uh, come with me. I need to talk to you.

You go on inside. I’ll be right back. Yes, Brother Nazar, what’s the matter? I was only saying…

Yes? I have a little suspicion. No, it’s nothing of the sort, Brother Nazar.

You are weird. You call me your brother and yet you hide stuff from me. I can clearly see that you guys have run away from home.

Do you even know how big a crime that is? We love each other. The kind of love that lasts four days for your enjoyment or….

Brother Nazar… That is what I am saying. How long are you guys going to keep running? If the Police catch up with you then you’ll be in grave difficulty.

The Police? Sure, what else? Her family is not going to just sit around now, are they?

They will find you out. We’ve gotten out to take our Marriage Vows. We want to get married to each other.

That is good and if you ask me, then I might just help you as well. But that will require some money to be spent.

Money? Yes, so? Did you not take into account all this when you guys decided to run away?

Brother Nazar, I have a little of…. Those are enough. We will later discuss if more are needed. After all, I do trust you.

Now don’t go ahead and assume that I have taken this for myself. They will be spent, you see. The Marriage Councilor will be coming.

He will have to be paid and the four witnesses won’t come for free either. They will have to summoned on payment. I have taken it for them.

The Marriage Vows will thus be done? It will be done. In fact, consider it to be already done.

You just go ahead and prepare for it and take the girl’s Identity Card as well. She doesn’t have it. It is unavailable.

Well, that’s okay. For now we will leave that space blank. We’ll fill it up later on.

That won’t be problem, will it? Consider it to be done. Why are you looking so downcast?

It is your wedding day! You are the groom. Come on, be happy. Come with me. The money will be enough for expenditures?

Yes, I will manage it. You’ve called me your older brother so I will do right by you as an older brother. You have run away from home with that boy?

You didn’t have the slightest feeling of what your parents would have to go through? Good Lord! A daughter like you should have died as soon as she was born!

What sort of words are you using to describe me? Fact is that I do not have the words which I could use to describe your behavior! I don’t know what you are assuming.

We both love each other and want to get married. It was just that our families were not agreeing to it and we had to take this step. Oh, let it be, Madam, forget about that.

The love of guys nowadays is rather weird. One assumes that they would lay down their lives. However, when it is their turn to lay down their lives, they are the first ones to disappear!

When he has had enough in a few days, he will disappear as well. By the way, you are despicable! It is my husband who is tolerating you in his greediness for money.

If it had been me, I would have thrown you out of my house! Yes? Daniyal, where are you?

You’ve called me just to ask me that? Yes. No, I can’t come. My car has broken down.

And yes, do not call me unless it’s an emergency! Brother, have you seen this boy and girl anywhere? My man, have you seen this girl and boy anywhere out here?

It was him. There was a girl with him as well. Are you sure this was him?

Why should I tell you? Are you from the Police? You may assume that. Hmm…

Let’s go. Where did you drop them? It was Saidpur

The Saidpur Village. Let’s go then. Mom,

Please have something to eat. I’m not feeling hungry, Roshna. And tell Daniyal to come back.

He won’t come back until he has found her, Mom. What is the point? What is she going to do after she’s back?

So… You don’t want her to ever come back? I feel like telling Faiqa…

to get her married and keep her there. Well, Mom, you all could have done that before as well. How was I to know that she would go and do all of this?

I could never even have imagined that my daughter could do something like this. Dad? Dad, she will come back.

She will come, Dad. The love of guys nowadays is rather weird. One assumes that they would lay down their lives.

However, when it is their turn to lay down their lives, they are the first ones to disappear! When he has had enough in a few days, he will disappear as well. What an awful way of thinking she has!

They don’t understand what love is! You went to fulfil your dreams, right? You’ll see.

None of your dreams will come true. You will never be happy! It would be better that a person remains childless than to give birth to a daughter like you!

Zu…. Why are you crying? I want to go home.

What? Saim, what we’re doing is very wrong! That is why nothing is going our way. The ill-will and curses of our family are following us.

Saim, my father is in the Hospital because of me! Don’t know how his health is! I want to go to my Dad. I don’t want to take any Marriage Vows. Take me back to my Dad. Look, Saim, this issue with the Marriage Vows is never happening.

Something or the other will continue to go wrong. We cannot take the Marriage Vows against the consent of our families. We will never…

Brother Nazar has brought the cleric with him. We’re taking our Marriage Vows tonight. You may wear this if you feel like it.

What place is this? This is Saidpur I had dropped them right here.

Is that for sure? Why would I lie? Alright.

Take this money. Thank you. Do you, Zobia Sarmad,

daughter of Sarmad Ahmed, take Saim Ibrahim, son of Mohammad Ibrahim, is being given in marriage to you.

Do you consent to this? It would be better that a person remains childless than to give birth to a daughter like you What do you care whether your father lands in Hospital or his grave?

We’ve been thanking God that we were saved from a girl like you! I accept. Zobia Sarmad, daughter of Sarmad Ahmed….

The love of guys nowadays is rather weird. One assumes that they would lay down their lives. However, when it is their turn to lay down their lives, they are the first ones to disappear!

When he has had enough in a few days, he will disappear as well. Sign here. There we are. By the Blessings of God, congratulations.

You sign here and you sign here. Brother, greetings to you. Have you seen this guy anywhere? No, Sir, I haven’t. You may inquire with the Tea Shop owner.

Greetings to you. Greetings to you as well. Yes, Brother? Brother, have you seen this guy here?

Yeah, I saw him with Kareem. Kareem? Where can I find Kareem?

Over there, near the Saidpur temple. What’s the matter, Brother? Um, no, it’s nothing.

Thank you. Finally! Now you are married!

No one can separate us anymore. We’ll be together! Hmm…

What’s the matter? You don’t look too happy. Siam, I had thought that when I’d take my Marriage Vows, I’d be overjoyed and I’d have a whole lot of feelings.

But now that it is done, I don’t feel anything. There’s this weird sort of disbelief. So, now you’ve become Zobia Saim.

Thankfully the Marriage Vows went properly. Yeah, Thankfully. It’s good.

Shall we go home now? What do you mean? Saim, we had decided that we’d return to our homes as soon as we took the Marriage Vows, right?

You’re feeling anxious and scared? You’re feeling anxious and scared of me? Just look at your face, man!

Saim, don’t act like this. You should’ve been nervous and anxious before taking the Marriage Vows! You guys must leave right now!

Brother Nazar, what’s the matter? There’s no time for questions and answers! The Police are on their way!

The Police are coming? And if the Police see you here then I’m done for! Brother Nazar, it’s the middle of the night!

Just look… I don’t care! Brother Kareem called and told me that they were coming!

You must get out of here. Otherwise I will be done for! Zobia… This business of renting rooms doesn’t agree with me!

Why are we running? Zu, not now, please! The Police are after us, man!

Saim…I cannot run any further. If we don’t run, the Police are going to catch us and break my bones claiming that I have kidnapped the girl!

Saim, I don’t know anything. I want to go home! Zu, how can we go home just like that?

We’re not in contact with anyone either. Well then, establish contact! Let’s go to some place and establish contact.

I will do it. Come now. Saim,

I don’t care! I want to go home right now! Man!

Fine then. I’ll see whatever happens! Siam!

Siam, are you okay? Siam, look at me! Siam, Siam, what’s wrong?

Siam, where are you hurt? Come along. Carefully…

Watch it. I’m coming… Watch it.

Carefully… Is it hurting a lot? No, I’m leaning on you just like that.

So, who told you to jump in front of a car? You just love to act like some hero! Okay, enough. I’m angry as it is and I have a headache! Oh, be quiet!

It had to rain today! Come… Oh, look, there’s a place to sit.

It seems like someone’s hangout. Just come along! Have you seen the state of your foot? Come along, quickly.

Sit here. Go on sit down…Sit… Carefully, watch it. Sit down.

Siam, I feel very cold. …Just look around. You might find something to your agreement out here. Sure, I will find something to my liking.

Do you know what I’ll find? A blanket from there. A quilt from that side.

Some pillows from there. And a lot of clothes to wear from under this! Please stop your sarcasm now.

Next time we run away from home, we’ll make plan A, B, and C before we leave so that if one fails the other one would be helpful! Never again!

Man, love takes more tests than this and you are worried already? I wash my hands off such love that would exasperate me so much! Ah!

What’s the matter? A rat! Where’s the rat?

There it is! Are you scared? Who gets scared of some rat?

Remove it! Remove it, Siam! It is dead.

Please, remove it! Zu, it is dead. Saim…Move it away from here!

Come here. Go over there. Get it out.

Zu, you’ll catch a fever. No, no. We’ll leave before that happens. Just let the rain stop pouring outside.

You’re in a great hurry to get far away from me. Siam, my father is in the Hospital, man! Don’t know what condition he would be in. I want to go to him!

Don’t do it. Not from that side… Okay I won’t now

I’m doing it. By the way, this little heat is sometimes such a great blessing.

Man, if only there was some tea and biscuits. It would have been so much fun. Don’t know about tea but once this rain stops. I’ll go and get something to eat in a little while. I’ll look around..I’m sure I’ll get it from here.

Siam, your phone would have gotten wet, right? If it was okay then I’d have called Cousin Daniyal. He could have taken us away from this place at the very least.

Sure, he would have come here, taken you away and told me, ‘Bro, please make sure to attend the Wedding after Party tomorrow.’ Isn’t the Wedding after Party from the groom’s side?

Yeah, but if you had your way, you’d fly off home right now. Don’t you feel like it?

Huh? Don’t you feel like going home? Don’t you dare!

Absolutely not! Zu? Hmm?

Don’t know what we’ll have to face at home after going away from here. Far from it that we’ll be talking to each other, we might not be able to even see each other’s faces. We might not even be able to meet each other.

But, Siam, we have taken our Marriage Vows now, right? Your family will try to break it off.… What of trying?

They will definitely break it off. But you have to stay steadfast. And what if your family puts pressure on you?

They cannot put any pressure on me. Atleast, they can’t now. Since we have taken our Marriage Vows now.

We did it! I’ll just be back. Lie down and rest a little.

I’m sorry, Zu. I had not thought all of this for you. Oh, God, she has a very high fever.

I’ll have to do something. Has Daniyal come? No, my child.

I got a call from him. When will he be back? And Zoobi?

I don’t know. The only thing we got to know is …. those two have taken their Marriage Vows.

What? Yes, I wish…

I wish Zoobi had waited just a little while longer. Maybe not with our happiness but … it would have been better if only this marriage had taken place in our presence.

I’m sorry, Uncle. Hey, my dearest child….Why are you apologizing? My dearest child,

to be defamed was written in our Fates which we all had to face. Dad? Dad, are you alright?

Sarmad, what is it? Uncle, is the doctor here? Doctor…

Dad… Doctor! Dad…

Dad, what’s wrong? Dad… Fazal, my man,

The rain spoilt my whole mood today, man. My whole body is stiff. Yeah, man…

Today has been sort of weird Saim? His jacket is still here.

He must be around somewhere near then. Come on, man, light up a cigarette. You know well that the cigarettes you roll have a defined taste of its own, man.

Hey, my man, I have prepared this cigarette beforehand. I’ll let you smoke up as well. You take a puff first, bro.

Come on, give it back now. Are you going to smoke all of it? Man, you’re getting greedy!

Well, I am already dying from being away from my darling love. One puff had me wandering all over heaven. There are fairies and beauties all around.

Hey, a fairy! Hey, she is truly a fairy, man! I’m not a fairy.

My name is Zobia. Do Fairies have names as well? Who are you?

Where is Saim? Saim, the one with whom you had come here to have a good time?

He has left you and gone away. He has left you here for us. Now you can assume us to be Siam…

Shut up! He cannot leave me and go away! He has already gone and left you! We are here, right?

What do you need Saim for now? Siam! Siam!

We are here now. Greetings to you. Uh, give some biscuits.

God have Mercy on us! It seems like it is going to rain again. I’ve never seen it rain so hard.

Zu will get scared. This, uh, give me this as well. Take your change!

Who is it? Zobia! Zobia!

Where have you two hidden both of them? Where and who have we hidden? Who are you talking about? I don’t understand. Where have you two hidden them? Are you two going to tell me or not?

Otherwise, I’ll call the Police right now. They will come and have you tell them everything. Uh, no, no.

There’s no need to call anyone. We don’t know… We don’t know where they are.

Just let him go. Let him go, please. If they did not come here, then what is this? What is this?!

This… This is my wife’s handkerchief. I had given it to her as a gift on Eid. Tell him!

I’ll tell you. I will tell you. Why are you lying for them? Sakina, what are you going to tell him?

I am telling him! They had both come here. They had spent the night here.

And, uh…And they both were already married. Yes, yes… We don’t know where they’ve gone.

We don’t know where they went; they just got up in the middle of the night and left. We, I swear, we don’t know anything. She speaks the truth.

Hello. What? Okay, alright.

The rascal! I had told you, didn’t I? I had warned you not to get involved in this issue!

If he had not believed what I told him, you were well on your way to Jail! Well, I was saved, right? Now don’t lecture me!

Come on inside. Saim! Saim!

Saim! Saim! Saim…

Saim… Saim… Police!

Hey the Police are coming! Hey, Fazal, the Police are coming. Fazal….

Hey, the Police! Run! Uncle, Dad will be alright?

My child, just pray …. that nothing happens to my Sarmad. Dad was awake you know.

He could hear everything we were saying. May God be merciful on all of us. All of this happened because of Zoobi.

I don’t even want to see her face! I hate her, Uncle! I will never forgive her!

My child, at this time, pray only for Sarmad. There is no point in cursing Zoobi at this time. She has already chosen her hell by herself.

To hell with her. You are right, Uncle. Oh, God, restore my father’s health back.

By the will of God. God willing, my child. Just be brave and patient.

Nothing will happen to my Sarmad. Everything is alright now, huh? They’ve gone now.

What is it? All of this has happened because of you! Because of me?

I was also… Getting out of my house and running away with you was the biggest mistake I have made in my life! what are you saying?

We were going to Grandpa’s house, right? Happily say our marriage vows, right? If you did not have any place to stay then just why did you bring me to this desolate place?!

And brought me here and left me alone! Those thugs, Saim…. They….

Do even realize what they were about to do to me? What if something had happened? But nothing happened! How easily you say that!

Then what else am I supposed to do, man? You blame me for every matter that occurs! We had run away from home!

We did not come for a honeymoon in some five star hotel! So your intentions are finally out of you now, right? This is what you wanted, right? What did I want?

To take advantage of me! I have been telling you for so long, Saim! Let’s go home. Let’s go home.

But no! You brought me to this isolated place! Why?! : I will break your face!

Not a single word more! If you did not trust me, then why did you run away with me? I made a mistake!

I had made a mistake to have fallen in love with you; to have taken my Marriage Vows with you! You are not even worthy for a guy to take up so much trouble for your sake!

You call this piece of Marriage Certificate a marriage? This seems like an act to you? Give it to me.

Here! Take it! I want to go home.

Right now, right this minute! I want to go to my people! To people who can protect me, who don’t have evil intentions like you do!

Go to hell! You can go wherever you want! You are not worthy for me to have stood up before my own family!

Get lost! Go away from here! Get lost. Get the hell out of here!
