Humaira!
Why book a hall for the henna ceremony?
All the rituals at Salma's wedding were done at home,
and it was a sight to witness.
Save some money for yourself.
Those days are gone, Bay ji.
Weddings are no longer performed at home,
everyone books a hall.
I want Wajeeha's wedding to be grand.
Give her all the happiness while I'm still alive.
My son, come here.
My good son.
- You're such a good brother. - Shammo.
Shammo, don't trust him!
Shammo, don't...
- Give that back to me. - Khurram.
What's wrong?
- Leave her alone. - Khurram.
Stop fighting like cats and dogs!
Stop him.
- You raised your hand on me. - Yes.
Now watch.
- Do you know, Bay ji- - Shut up!
I will tell everyone.
Every guy is going to find out about this.
The entire neighbourhood's going to know.
Do you know what this rascal has done?
He has AIDS!
- What? - Do you know what AIDS is?
It's a disgusting illness!
It spreads through vile actions!
A person suffers to death!
Shame on you!
Good lord!
What's happened?
What have you done?
What will I do?
Why didn't I die before hearing this?
Shameem,
what happened?
Is everything okay?
- Yes... - Is Bay ji alright?
Your eyes are moist.
No, it's nothing.
Tell me what happened.
Come on.
Shameem,
what's wrong?
Tell me what's wrong?
Are you hiding something?
There's nothing to hide in the first place.
Then why is Bay ji so upset?
What was so secretive being done behind closed doors?
Don't you trust me?
Tell me.
Any demands from Wajeeha's in-laws?
Wait a second.
You made all this jewellery for me,
it's time to put them to good use.
Sell them. Are you falling short of money?
We'll get more later.
Don't worry.
- Why are you crying? - What are you doing?
Shameem.
What happened? Be brave.
Come here.
You're so brave.
Don't be like this.
Everyone is so happy.
You're crying like a child.
Everything is fine.
Get lost or I will break your jaw.
- Forgive me... - Get lost.
Forgive you.
Please for Wajeeha's wedding sake...
Touch me not.
Don't tell anyone, Khurram, for my sake.
Take it.
You won't tell anyone, will you?
- Okay. - Until Wajeeha's wedding.
Okay,
fine. I'll think about it.
But if you hit me. Now I will...
I can't even do that now.
Go on.
Did you forgive me?
I am in the process of it.
Now leave.
Now behave decently with me.
"But eventually...
- Please hear me out. Please. - things took a turn for the worse."
Please hear me out. Please.
- "Wajeeha's in-law refused - I am begging, please.
to carry on with this wedding."
Please stop them.
- "They wanted no relationship with a family," - Oh no!
- whose member is... - Oh no!
...HIV positive.
- Leave me. I don't want to go. - Go out.
Tell me...it's all rubbish, isn't it?
They are all lying.
Shameem, why aren't you speaking?
- Tell me... - It's true!
It's all true!
I am tired of hiding it from you.
You're definitely mistaken.
Reports can be wrong.
Did you check again?
This is not possible.
- This cannot happen with good people. - It does.
It does.
Forgive me.
I am not a good person.
Not a good person.
But you...
Me?
Me? What?
Back then I wanted to wage war on destiny.
Stop, Child. Listen to me.
- Leave me. - Listen to me.
What are you doing?
Stop.
For God's sake, stop it.
Don't do it.
Listen to me.
No! Don't!
I don't want anything! You're responsible for everything.
You are the one who pampered them! I don't want anything!
Get away from my sights!
I don't want anything!
See...didn't I tell you.
God works in mysterious ways.
But you didn't listen.
See how God punished those sinners.
You should be afraid.
Afraid of the time when you'll be facing His wrath.
Break all relationships with him,
or else you'll be erased from existence.
I had heard that God is forgiving,
but people don't.
Maybe God hadn't forgiven me yet.
Or maybe it was one of brother Abdullah's curses.
But even I had prayed extensively.
God didn't even answer my single prayer
Or maybe God only listens to curses.
Will you stop believing in God, when you need Him the most?
I haven't stopped believing in him.
Maybe it's the other way round.
Bashir, why didn't you tie up your monkeys?
Come on...who do you think you are? Shahrukh Khan?
What's the attitude for?
Get lost.
What's the temper for?
Just because I love you,
you've been treating yourself like a princess.
Get going right now.
See what I got for you.
Don't touch me.
What's wrong?
I won't be impressed by you anymore.
I know everything.
What do you know?
I may be uneducated, but not stupid.
Don't try to fool me.
I don't want any sick disease from you.
What disease?
I see...
No, no, no, that's not me.
It's Shameem.
I am perfectly fine.
Get lost I said.
Doesn't matter, but you're the same family.
I won't sleep with you anymore.
Come on, get out.
Stop this rubbish and don't spoil my mood.
Get lost.
Or else I'll make a scene.
This isn't right.
Get lost.
You are a wh***
Get lost.
As*****
Soon all the neighbours...
...and relatives broke every relationship with us.
Not just with me, But with my entire family.
I had heard about the word untouchable,
but finally realised...
...what it means.
When everyone found out...
...that I am HIV positive.
Umi.
What's wrong?
Umi.
It's okay. It's okay.
Call the attendant.
Okay.
Excuse me, the doctor's calling you.
I am sorry, Shameem sir,
but we can't treat her.
Please take her someplace else.
But the doctor who treats us is in this hospital.
I know sir, you're right.
But we can't take this risk.
We can't risk the lives of other patients for a HIV positive Person.
Try to understand.
Please take her away.
Where do I take her?
Tell me where?
Do I take her on the street?
Mrs. Shameem, I am very pleased with your honesty.
After all, you're the star teacher of our school, no doubt.
Thank you.
But...
But?
I think you should resign instead of applying for leave.
Why resign?
I'll be back when I am okay.
There is no treatment for AIDS.
I think you should spend the rest of your life in comfort,
you shouldn't tire yourself.
I told you this because you arranged HIV workshops in school.
You were spreading awareness, and...
You know...
Workshops are a different matter,
but real life is different.
I cannot enlighten the staff, parents, and students, like me.
You know how this works.
Yeah...
Fine.
I'll resign.
Can Ali stay here? His reports are negative.
Will he be allowed to come to school?
Well, it depends.
Please don't tell anyone.
It's the question of our school's reputation.
- You understand this, don't you? - Sure.
Can I leave now?
Yeah, sure.
Thank you.
Hello, Alia...
Alia, Mrs. Shameem-
I forgot my bag.
Death wasn't as awful as people's attitude towards us.
Seemed like even...
...God has deserted us now.
Come on, Captain, let's make your team.
Who will take Ali on his team?
Papa,
what is AIDS?
For heaven's sake,
AIDS doesn't spread through touch, breath, or sharing things.
What's wrong with you guys?
But how many people are we going to tell this?
My family cannot even step out of the house.
I can understand.
People can be more ruthless than the disease.
But if treated properly,
you can survive for 20-25 years even with AIDS.
But people will build psychological pressure on you.
Honestly, you two look very depressed to me.
I think you need counselling.
I'll give you Dr. Zafar's number,
book an appointment and go see him.
Leave the kitchen.
but I've to cook food.
Humaira will do it.
Go.
Humaira.
Umaina,
can you ever forgive brother Shameem?
Umi, can you forgive me?
Whether I forgive you or not...
You've the right to decide.
It's been a while since we spoke properly, Shameem.
Are we so lost in our sorrows,
that we've stopped understanding each other?
How can I forgive you?
You can punish me in anyway you want I won't say a word.
But I cannot handle this silence anymore Umi.
How can I forgive you,
when I've no complaints with you?
Shameem, I was dead long ago.
This life was bestowed by you.
You can take it back whenever you like.
And I've nowhere to go except in your direction,
I owe every breath to you.
I've no one except for you.
Ali, it's getting late.
Change into your uniform, come on.
Get up, child.
Bravo.
What are you doing, Ali!
Why did you throw water?
I don't want to go to school.
Why not?
Everyone hates me! I've no friends!
Everyone says your mom and dad has AIDS.
Do I have AIDS as well?
Look, Raaim, your friend's watching.
So what?
Won't you play with him?
He's your friend.
I don't have any friends.
My dad says his parents are dirty people.
They are sick.
You are sick.
Your parents are sick. My parents are very nice.
Then why do they have AIDS?
Papa says that only bad people have AIDS.
Look madam, this is simple!
You must take a decision regarding this matter!
Otherwise, I will involve the public in all this!
The decision is entirely yours!
Come, Raaim.
Come. Come, please.
Mr. and Mrs. Shameem,
I am actually very disappointed.
You saw the child's condition.
He's badly wounded.
Handling Ali is becoming a tough job.
He's always picking a fight with someone.
But Ali's injured too.
No one sees his wounds,
everyone is blaming him instead.
Imagine ma'am, he's getting annoyed because,
everyone's behaviour towards him is not right.
So why are you blaming Ali alone?
Children often face such problems.
Parents also try to build pressure, which we handle.
but unfortunately, this decision comes from the higher management.
Ali cannot continue in this school anymore.
What are you saying?
It's not such a serious matter.
What led you to take such a drastic decision?
Children often fight in school,
but they patch up eventually.
I can personally apologise to the child's parents.
That's not all.
Everyone knows about your sickness.
Look here, we tested Ali as well.
He's clean. His tests are negative.
He's absolutely fine.
Mrs. Shameem, you can argue,
but you will achieve nothing from it.
But what is the child's fault?
- He's fine- - I am really sorry.
I thought I will...
shower all the happiness and comfort on Ali.
I feel so helpless now.
Did you see...
how he was looking at us?
He must hate me!
It's not easy to hate one's parents.
He must be in pain himself.
But how could I make them understand this?
That you guys are closing the doors of life on him.
He's so small and naive,
that he doesn't know why this is happening to him.
He would come running to me with every little complaint.
Who will he look up to now?
Watching his parents die at such a young age,
living as an orphan.
They felt no mercy on him.
We'll be dead,
but he has his entire life ahead of him.
How will he remember us?
The things he will curse us for.
I am not afraid of death,
but I want to live for Ali.
I want to live for Ali.
Umi is right.
Parents are...
Parents are irreplaceable.
They cannot play God for their children.
Why are you doing? Leave it.
You need rest.
I am absolutely fine. Nothing is wrong with me.
Don't take the trouble for me.
Don't worry about me.
I like doing things for you two.
God forbid if something happens to you.
Nothing will happen to me.
- Fatima... - I've already faced the worst.
These are the few good things I do.
Please don't insist, give it back.
Whether God forgives me or not,
- but I love doing things for you two. - Hey...
love doing things for you two.
Leave those sick clothes.
- Leave it. - Leave it.
Listen to me, Fatima. What will I tell your father?
Don't you get it? Lower your eyes.
You won't listen, will you?
I'll tell your father to take you back home.
You just have to tell me,
can I wash the clothes here or out in the alley?
Khurram,
what are you doing?
What is this?
None of your business. Stay away.
What do you mean?
Where did you get this kind of money?
Where else?
This is my money.
What do you mean by my money?
What's going on here?
Where are you going? Where did you get this money?
Shammo had transferred the Salon in my name.
And I sold it.
You sold the Salon.
Rascal, he's already done so many favours to me.
What good are those favours?
No one in this house respects me.
And I haven't forgotten that pregnancy drama you played on me.
I remember everything.
Where are you going?
I am a man, I can go anywhere I like.
Why do you care?
You should be thankful that I'm not divorcing you.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to show your face.
You're already a barren woman,
and then you would be divorced too.
You won't stop meeting those bad people.
You won't stop, will you?
How can anyone stop doing a good deed, father?
Bring my food.
If someone has received the divine punishment,
you shouldn't take that upon yourself.
When will you learn?
Learn to be merciful, father.
God shows mercy to even those who don't believe in him.
How can you call yourself a man of God,
if you don't love his creatures?
You know,
love and mercy are not in my vocabulary.
And who is polluting your mind?
It's Umaina, isn't it?
She has been punished by God.
No one eats anything touched by her.
That's what's called the divine punishment.
Penitence!
If everyone follows in your path, father,
then orphans would be locked up in orphanages.
No one would cremate an unclaimed body on the street,
thinking whether she was a pure soul or not,
Muslim or a non-Muslim?
Rubbish. Only rubbish!
Why don't you talk to her?
You think you're very wise.
But if you get the same disease,
then no one will marry you!
In fact, they wouldn't even want to look at your face.
At least think about yourself.
Do you want to be like them?
I seek forgiveness, God!
Hey...
Hey girl...
Go through the Quran,
perhaps we will find a solution there.
This is all Quran is good for now?
Whatever.
Guide us. You are a religious scholar.
I need some kind of advice.
I am worried sick about Ali.
He's the apple of his father's eye.
Who will endure his tantrums now?
Both his parents are...
Enough! Stop it, Rukhsana, stop it.
Always talking about that boy!
I am so fed up of this.
I am so done with this.
No one's worried about me or Wajeeha.
How will she get married now?
What's going to happen?
I am losing my mind.
I thought my son would take me to the grave.
This is a limit.
I accepted that woman thinking that Shammo will finally settle down.
I had no clue she would ruin my entire family.
How is aunt Umaina at fault?
Even she...
Be quiet. I said be quiet.
She is lying.
Listen,
whatever has happened to them is because of their own deeds.
I told your brother not to let her out of the house.
Now the consequences are before us.
Uncle Shameem was first diagnosed with AIDS.
Maybe Umaina got it...
She is so shameless.
Rukhsana, why don't you tell her to shut up?
Shut up, you uncouth child.
I feel shy. This old woman feels shy,
talking about these things. Don't you have any shame?
Shameem is such a decent child.
Why did that cussed woman enter our lives?
Abdullah is right. Your husband is right.
Those who support a sinner also go to hell.
Look at the consequences of defiance.
Was uncle Shameem defiant as well?
How did he contract such a disease then?
Shut up.
Fatima, this is not the way to talk to your grandma.
You are all selfish...
...but doesn't matter.
Even if the entire world turns against them,
God's on their side as long as they have each other.
What's wrong with him?
He wants to go to school...
...but he can't.
We know why but who will tell him?
I thought monsters are only in the Madrasas,
but the entire city's full of monsters.
Those teachers who wouldn't stop praising him,
don't allow him anywhere near them.
You must be furious...
...with people, their behaviour, your fate.
Honestly, I've become numb.
I cannot feel my pain anymore,
but I'm worried about him.
We already know our consequences,
but what about him?
Bay ji. Bay ji.
No!
- Bay ji. - Stay away.
- What are you doing? - Don't touch me. Don't touch me.
Stay away. Go away.
- You will hurt yourself, Bay ji. - I don't care.
What else do you want to do to me?
Leave me alone for God's sake, you witch!
You've devoured my son. Leave me alone.
You will hurt yourself, Bay ji.
You have ruined us all.
It's nothing.
She's only trying to help, Bay ji...
I don't need her help.
I am telling you, Shammo,
even if I'm dying I won't drink a drop of water from her.
- Take her away. - Leave her, Umi.
- No, no. What are you doing? - Leave her.
No need to show sympathy.
Sympathy. She doesn't show sympathy?
She keeps showing her face to me,
so I keep cursing my fate.
Take her away, Shammo.
I am going, Bay ji, first get up.
For God's sake, Bay ji,
what has she done to deserve such insult.
- Wait a minute. - You're asking me.
She got you this dreadful disease.
This cussed woman, she has been unfaithful to you and end up ruining our lives.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
She has been unfaithful to you.
What do you think?
- What do you think? - Shameem...
She gave this disease to me.
- What do you think? - No, this isn't right.
Umi!
- What are you doing? - Umi, let me tell her.
- What do you think? - Shameem, please. For God's sake.
- She gave this disease to me. - I beg you, Shameem.
No.
She got this disease from me.
She got AIDS because of me,
and yet she stands firm by me.
Even after all the hatred and being innocent,
do you know why?
Only to save you from pain.
For you.
I ruined her face, her life, your own son.
Did you hear?
Come, Umi.
Leave her.
Shammo.
Umi.
