I don’t know what happened, all night I was restless. A weird restlessness,
like again and again I felt Murtasim is not fine.
Sister in law you are imagining things.
Everything is fine.
Maa Begum.
Maa Begum, Murtasim.
What happened?
Murtasim has been throwing up since last night.
I think he has an allergy.
No, he was not that unwell, I gave him medication last night myself.
All of you know that he cannot have fish, he has an allergy.
But your daughter Meerab made him eat it
and you are protecting your daughter.
I know you are not well.
You wouldn’t want to eat anything.
So I made your favourite breakfast.
Cheese omelet, mushroom, with sausages and fruits.
So is this redemption?
Redemption?
Yes.
Hey, the mistake you made yesterday, for that.
Not at all.
This is not redemption at all. Understand?
Then why this breakfast that I like?
Don’t be mistaken.
I didn’t make it,
the maid did.
Hmmm.
Is it not good.
No, amazing, great.
What can be better than this?
I was thinking that you faced a loss yesterday.
I faced a loss?
Yes.
Murtasim,
you were so unwell,
you almost died and you are saying I was at loss.
That’s the thing. Had I died,
you would have gotten free.
You would have gotten rid of me.
But I have realized one thing.
What?
You don’t want to kill me.
Nor can you see me in pain.
What is the deal?
Are you in love with me?
I think the allergy has gotten to your head.
Me falling in love with you is not possible.
It is possible,
or else, why would you run alone to the door of the man whom you don’t consider your father.
And you were taking my name with so much love.
Murtasim. Murtasim.
Open your eyes, I am sorry.
Murtasim.
You could hear me when unconscious?
Seriously Murtasim.
You are right, actually,
I am at loss.
I helped you out of humanity,
I should have let you die in that allergy.
Liar. Drama.
Do you want to say something?
Nothing.
Do you want to get free by killing my son?
What happened to you Murtasim? Are you fine?
I am fine, mama. Nothing happened to me.
You wouldn’t be in such a bad condition had you not eaten fish.
If something would have happened to you I would have died in my lifetime.
What happened, Meerab? Why did you do this?
Meerab has no fault in this, she didn’t know.
I am telling you, she did this on purpose.
Meerab, why do you want to kill your husband?
And why do you search for new ways to insult us?
Because she wants to run away from here,
and my son is a hurdle in his way.
Nothing happened to me.
I am standing in front of you, fine and healthy.
Why are you making an issue on something so small?
Because you had the fish on Meerab’s insistence.
Had the fish not been made, nor would you have…No.
I do what I want.
I ate fish because I wanted to.
If something like this was not cooked, then why would you eat it?
If something doesn’t suit me,
it doesn’t mean that it is forbidden for the rest of the family, Haya.
Mama,
Meerab didn’t come to this home by her will,
but she can live in this home by her will and I give her this right.
If someone has an objection, then tell me right now.
We worry for you.
I am your mother.
Mama, I… Enough.
Forget all this.
Sorry, buddy…
I forget it?
I have been insulted so badly in your name, and you are asking me to forget.
I mean, seriously?
Meerab…
Maa Begum, how did you like it?
What?
A wife’s pet.
You mind what you say.
Forgive me, Maa Begum,
but today it is just me,
in future everyone will say it.
If you mind your tongue,
then no one can dare to say this.
Okay fine,
I will get quiet.
But you are his mother,
see how he gives Meerab importance over you.
She is his wife.
and you are the mother.
A mother’s position is always high.
When the wives come, the mother takes second place.
There is nothing like that.
But it was not like that earlier.
Don’t you dislike it?
Can a son’s happiness ever be disliked by a mother?
For me it is enough to think that Murtasim is happy with Meerab,
and that’s it.
So you will leave her like that?
I told you, for me it is enough that Murtasim is happy with Meerab.
Thank God he survived.
But I won’t forget.
What won’t you forget?
What?
What did you say?
All that happened.
Murtasim has gone through so much pain, I will not forgive Meerab.
Who are you to forgive him?
Understand one thing,
Murtasim is happy with Meerab,
and for us this is enough.
You too should respect Meerab and listen to her.
Hah,
I listen to Meerab? Never.
Maa Begum,
some women have come from the village with their decision.
Hmmm…
go and tell madam Meerab
to listen to the issues of the women, and make decisions.
Sure.
Such decisions will be the worst.
I will follow your orders?
Yours?
You snatched my dream from me.
You snatched my Murtasim from me.
You snatched my love, and I will listen to you.
Never.
I cannot let you win.
I cannot lose my Murtasim.
What do I do?
What should I do?
This is the time to tell Murtasim,
that your Meerab wants to get rid of you.
Your Haya wants to give her life for you.
Why did you call me?
Sister in law Salma is really upset.
She is only cause of Murtasim.
You take care of Murtasim.
In future, sister in law shouldn’t get a chance to complain. That is it.
Whether she is upset,
or if she has a complaint from me,
this is her issue, not mine.
Meerab.
I want to see you happy,
I want to see you settled.
You ruined my life trying to get me settled.
I am right.
I was really happy earlier.
You snatched my life from me in the name of marriage.
I am not your enemy,
I am your father,
and how can a father want something bad for his child?
Whatever you want,
it doesn’t matter to me.
I just know that
a good joke has been played on me.
For twenty five years,
someone else was my father,
in the twenty sixth year,
my father changed,
my world changed,
my identity changed.
Don’t make yourself face a loss in this anger.
Don’t do this.
Don’t bother Murtasim so much.
He is standing with you right now, which is why he doesn’t say anything.
If tomorrow he too gets tired…
Then you won’t be able to do anything either.
This is what you want to say.
I am your father, I want what is best for you.
No child, would leave his only child the way you left me.
My betterment,
and my destruction,
is on me, it is my responsibility.
If your respect is tarnished,
then deny it,
say that I am not your child,
No comments yet. Be the first to leave one.
