Zaroon ; But I can sense it . Both looking at each other then Zaroon ; Kashaf do you have any kind of doubts or suspicions where I am concerned ? Kashaf looking at him ; No , there is no such thing . Zaroon has hesitant smile and holds her hand ; If there is something like that in your mind then take it out from your mind totally . Because after marriage ,I am not interested in any girl .and if there had been someone , I would not hide and have an affair , I would marry the person immediately . He smiles and Kashaf angrily asks him ; are you threatening me with second marriage. Zaroon laughingly ; When I am threatening you .All I am saying you that whatever I do , will do it openly . Kashaf ; looking at other side , should I appreciate you for this or get angry with you Zaroon smiles and pulls her towards him and looking in her eyes ; should appreciate me because you will never find a man like me .

She picks up some book . other side Zaroon is just walking restlessly ; The whole day passed and she did not call me even once , if nothing else she should have at least told me that she has reached Karachi , there is no manners like such thing in that woman
Mother brings her milk . And asks her did Zaroon called her dear ? Kashaf says no . Mother ; you are here since he has not called you even once about your health ? Kashaf ; so what ? I also do not care about him . Mother ; so you should have called him to tell him that you are fine, he might be worried about you . Kashaf ; he is not going to worry about me , he must be busy with his life , his friends . Mother ; Kashaf , have you come here after fighting with Zaroon ? Kashaf replies that its something like this . Mother ; but why dear , what was the fight about ? Kashaf is tense ; please Ma , do not ask me such question , I won't be able to answer you . Mother ; look dear , couples do have fights and arguments but that does not mean that one should leave house every time because of It . Kashaf looks at her ; why are you talking like this ? Do you think I am the type to leave the house because of minor issue , there must have been something major that I hhave taken this step . Mother ; if you want , I can call and speak to him . , if there is some issue then lets find the solution for it dear . Kashaf rubbing her forhead ; Ma , had I wanted to patch up with him , I would not have left the house ? . besides he has not thrown me out of the house , I myself has come here . Mother is worried ; If you do not want a patch up , then what do you want ? Kashaf ; do not ask me mummy , I myself do not know what I want right now . Mother advises her that do not take any hasty decisions , because its no longer the matter of only your own life , this also concerns your children, life and their future . Kashaf ; Mummy I will not be blackmailed only because of this , just because I am going to be mother , so will have to reconsider the children . I want to base my relationship with Zaroon on self respect, equality and loyalty . I do not want to base it on need and helplessness, blackmail and children. Mother Kashaf looking at each other.
Zaroon looking in his wardrobe , calls Amjad and asks where is his black suit ? he replies ,will be in wardrobe . But Zaroon is already in foul mood tells him to find and then Amjad says may be at drycleaners. On the other side Kashaf is walking and thinking , she is somewhat crying and unhappy ; I do not care , he can do what he pleases, he can go with whom so ever he wants .When I do not want to spend life with him then I also should not think about him either . She is confused and insecure soul . Zaroon is sitting with Asmara having tea somewhere outside . Zaroon is serious ; marrying Kashaf was a great mistake of my life . you do not guess how much I regret for this mistake . Asmara ; I can very well imagine Zaroon what are you feeling . You forget , I know you better than you know yourself . Zaroon; everyone was right about Kashaf , we have absolutely nothing common between us . Asmara ; I am so sorry Zaroon , Because of me so many issues has come up between you and Kashaf., Zaroon ; Even I had no idea that Kashaf could be so stupid , He is unhappy and Asmara : Its your fault Zaroon , you should have told her about us , Why did you hide all this from her ? Zaroon after a pause ; yes you are right . I , Myself , do not know , why I hid all this from her ? What would she have said ? she would not have said anything . Asmara ; If I would have been at her place perhaps I would also have reacted the same way . Zaroon looks at her ; Difference is Asmara , I can expect anything from you .But I do not expect it from her . Asmara ; Alright , now do not have to take her side .
Zaroon,s parents are having tea and his mother tells that there is some fight between your son and daughter in law . Father asks why ? Mother tells him that this question you ask yourself . But something is definitely wrong . When talked to Kashaf about Zaroon, she said he was not home . And when talked to Zaroon , he told that Kashaf is watching the TV for lat two hours . Father says that it appears to be lack of coordination between the two . Mother says its not joke , I am worried . Father tells her that with smile ; I am happy . Because while feeling proud and little envious , I was feeling a bit of complex listening to how my son was the ideal husband with no faults , seeing him in stress makes me happy that no marriage is perfect marriage . Mother says that she never expected this from him . Father ; speak to them and make them understand , I am sure they will understand . Mother ; I hope so
Zaroon withdrawn and tired , Amjad knocks at the door to tell him dinner is ready .Zaroon tells him he is coming . He is having his dinner but then calls Amjad and is angry about food . Comes to his room , sits on the sofa , frustrated and tired . On the other side Kashaf with her mother ; These so called husbands , they are the most ungrateful being created . And these things you talk about all the time , this mode of conduct and rules of etiquette , they hardly have any value . No one takes in to consideration what service you have done to them . Listening to her quietly ; How do you know dear , you are sitting here ? He must miss you . Kashaf ; Please do not try to brainwash me with these false illusions . This is the reason I never wanted to get married . I did not want to stuck in a predicament like this . You were always very keen to get me married . Were not you ? Zaroon will do this Zaroon will do that , I had perfect life going on , its now ruined for nothing , She is hurt and with tears . Mother Looks at her ; I hope to God not this , why are you saying all this . Kashaf looking at her ; Zaroon turned out to be just like the other men , there is nothing different about him ) Mother ; Your mother-in-law called you , did not she ? Could that be zaroon asked her to . Kashaf ; Mummy, Zaroon did not say anything to her , she just happened to call me by chance Mother ; Dear , how long it will go on ? Kashaf asks her ; Why? Are you fed up with me ? Mother tells her; that there is nothing like this . but husband and wife should not stretch out their fights for too long otherwise small issues turns in to major one . Kashaf looks at her : Mummy . this is not small a issue ,she is crying , and what do you think that I would leave my house which I created with such love , for a small issue. Mother ; Okay tell me what the problem is , perhaps I will find a solution . Kashaf ; only Zaroon has the solution to this problem . I do not even know if he has a solution or not . while crying she tells her mother ; I really loved him a lot , mummy . Does my love means nothing to him ? Mother ; I know , you love him a lot dear . but why do not you give in Kashaf ; no. I can not back down and give in , at least not where this is concerned . Mother ; Why are you being stubborn , dear , there are no calculations and arrogance when it comes to love , and the one who bends is the greater person dear . Kashaf goes from there while mother looking at her
Zaroon is withdrawn and sitting quietly , going inner turmoil in him and looking at his face is quite hurt with Kashaf,s accusations ; I was leading a perfectly good and independent single life , I do not know what mad dog bit me to get me into thinking about getting married . I mean , I can not even share anything about this with anyone . What can I tell anyone anyways? What does she think I am ? What , am I a loafer or a cad or something that I won't even care for my wife or children ? And to top it all , Am I going to go around having an affair with my ex-fianc ? There really is limit . So many days have passed but she did not even called once to excuse herself Alright , she has not called with any excuses , but she could have called . Looks at his phone If not a call ..at least she could have sent a message . He is changing her name on his cell phone while thinking all this . Other side Kashaf is quite and sad , looks at her phone and is deleting the words from husband and replace with man and is crying inside ; All these men are really very selfish . they do not have a respect for a woman ,s feelings nor do they care . How can they care except their own kind anyways ? Even after marrying me , he could not get Asmara from his heart . Had he wanted to keep her in his heart , he could have ..but why did he start meeting her ? Fades in ..
Its morning both mother daughter are sitting outside .Kashaf is crying , Mother ; Kashaf , why are you crying so much ? What has happened ? Kashaf : Nothing good ever happens with me , no one cares for me . Mother kisses her head and takes her in her arms . ; Kashaf , you are intelligent , educated and a woman yourself ..So then why are you talking like this ? Why dear ? You should be happy that you are going to be a mother , You should be praying to God to give you healthy babies . What does it matter whether its girl or a boy ? Kashaf looks up at her mother ; What does it make a difference ? At least in this society it does . ) Mother ; Zaroon has never insisted nor said that he only wants a son , then why are you thinking about this over and over ? Kashaf ; Because I know he only wants a son Mother ; No Kashaf , he never said so , but if he is thinking like that then I will make him understand Kashaf is wallowing in her own pre conceived notions and looks at her mother ; what will you make him understand , I have been here for so many days , did he even care to call me and now when he finds out about me having daughters , how will he react ? Mother ; these is your first offspring dear and beside you can have a son later , So what if they are daughters . Kashaf lifts her head and looks at her mother ; they may be my first offspring , but not having sons , but I am having daughters . Her own insecurities raising head being a daughter what she went through with her mother Mother ; Kashaf ...I never expected you of all people to have this kind of attitude . All life I have slogged on you girls , my whole life I spent wiping out this concept of sons and daughters . And you...You are crying over the blessing that is given to you ...This is very wrong Kashaf . She again brings her to in her arms where her tears does not stop . ; Come here ..Okay its enough . She is going on crying .
Kashaf is writing in her diary ; I was never a woman who was ever weak or coward . But then finding out that I was going to have daughters ..why did I became so ? Am I a hypocrite ? Or is it that despite all my show of bravery , education and independence ,I am still a typical conventional woman . Should I ignore Zaroon,s betrayal for the sake of my children ..? Or I should pass the rest of my life bringing up my two children all alone ? Should I prepare myself for a life , like the one my mother had , despite my father being there .
Its night , Phone rings with woman written , its Zaroon,s and he is sleeping , he picks up the phone and sees Woman ? and says who she is ? Its dark . Kashaf on the other side has called Zaroon and then says ; that I knew that he will not answer my call . I made a mistake calling him . Made myself stay up so late ..what was the use ? She is so sad and unhappy . On the other side Zaroon wakes up with start , light the lamp and look at his phone and dial the number . Kashaf receives the call and look at the phone .

Zaroon on the other side gets emotional and had tear drop in his eyes .says then Come . She can not stop herself crying , Such a brilliant actors , no words to describe Kashaf is sleeping one side , She wakes up when finds someone pulling the sheet from her , she turns her face but stops and thinks why mother has increased the speed of the fan ?

Then she sits up and touch Zaroon,s cheek slowly and Zaroon gets up with a start . She looks at him with smile Zaroon ; Whats wrong with you ? Kashaf ; When did you come ? He while lying turns his face towards her with closed eyes ; I came on in the 6am flight . Kashaf ; What was the rush ? Zaoon with his closed eyes ; Why did not you come ? then Kashaf lying on her side facing him ; Why were you having an affair with Asmara ? Zaroon opens his eyes little bit and lifts his head ; Why did you leave the house without asking me ? Kashaf ; Why did not you stop me ? Zaroon raises his head little more ; why did not you ask me to ? Kashaf ; Why would I ask you to ask me ? Zaroon ; So why would I have stopped you ? Kashaf ; Then why did you come then ? He looks at her opening his one eye ; I did not come for you but for my daughters . Kashaf now sulking ; You have not come for me then ? He again raises his head ; Why would I come for you ? You are just an average looking girl . you are just an stubborn , suspicious , argumentative , silly girl who does not even love me . Kashaf looking at him ; and you ? you are very selfish , narrow minded , flirt of a man , who can love almost any woman . Zaroon with closed eyes ; I will answer you on this when I wake up , provided I remember to do so . Kashaf is at peace and softly tell him ; you are the first and the last man in my life .

He smile at her and says ; I know .Both smilingly looking at each other and then Kashaf tells him to go to sleep now . Zaroon sits up saying ; Now that will be some what difficult . Tell me something ? you started crying the moment you got pregnant . You started crying the moment you find about the daughters . I have heard people crying out of sheer happiness, but I have never heard of people crying without just any reason . She laughs and smiles , both smiles looking at each other . Kashaf ; Go to sleep now .I meant it , you are very sleepy . She pulls him down and sayds go to sleep . Zaroon utters go to sleep and Kashaf is looking at him with love in her eyes while he goes to sleep .

Kashaf ; you hid things from me , so what else I was to do but be suspicious of you ? Zaroon ; I did not hide anything from you Kashaf . Yes its true that you do not like Asmara ..and I was going to meet her . And I felt if I told you , you would get angry . But you did get angry ...and to top it all you thought that I was having affair with Asmara . Kashaf ; Okay You do not have go on about that . You should have been open with me from the beginning. What was the need to hide it ? And then top of that you lied ? Zaroon first looks at her then here and there ; I only lied to you because I was afraid of you .

Zaroon ; I am scared of loosing you . Kashaf smiles and Zaroon ; Are not you going to say something ? Kashaf asks him what ? Zaroon says anything . Kashaf seems to be teasing him . Zaroon says anything ? Kashaf looking at him ; Would you like me to tell you that I love you ? She smiles at him and Zaroon looks down and then looks at her says he already knows this . Kashaf then looks at him ; So you ...want some cheap , filmy dialogues to you. Then she holds his both hands and come closer to him : Should I say Zaroon , I will die without you And acts : That I will never be happy anywhere but in your home , when you are not near me I feel incomplete . Zaroon is having funny expressions on his face while listening to all this . Zaroon ; Are you going to say all this to me ? Kashaf puts her both hands on her waist and tells him its out of question . Dream on . Zaroon now laughs : Why ? Kashaf ; Are you trying to start up romance with me now ? Zaroon : Why ? cannot I not romance with you ?

Kashaf hold his hand as he walks : Why did not you stopped me then ? Zaroon takes her other hand ; Had I asked you , would you have stopped from going ? Kashaf says yes . Then Zaroon ; I am saying it now . Kashaf asks him what ? Zaroon ; If you ever leave this house again , I will break your legs . Kashaf smiles and says Okay . Zaroon ; Okay ? you agreed so easily . Kashaf says yes ..
KASHAF IS STANDING IN THE BALCONY ; Life is collection of many things . .strange events , coincidence and miracles . Zaroon is shown to be playing with her little daughters in the lawn Sometimes one can not understand it . If one were to define it in one sentence ...what it would be ? Zaroon calls her in the lawn . Life is a garden as Zaroon says it . Both are looking at their daughters playing with blissful happiness . Zaroon looking at his daughters and Kashaf running after each other having a smile . Zaroon ; Life is really a garden...with my wife , children , family .I can not wish for more than this . Daughters are growing up and Kashaf with her diary ; Zaroon ,s in the habit of flattering me . Had he not known how to do this , he may not have been able to control me so well .' Control' perhaps control is the wrong word for it . May be the expression ' to keep one in the palm of one,s hand ' might be better. He has helped complete my life in many ways . He has changed my way of thinking . Zaroon is clicking the pictures of his family with Kashaf playing with them . He has taken me out of the complex being a woman . He did not let me become obsessed by my need for son . We have only two daughters . Kashaf walking alone ; Many years ago , i used to blame God for all my problems . I had a whole list of complaints , i would put up in front of Him . I will regret that i misjudged God,s intentions , that i was wrong in underestimating his strength and wisdom . I always felt that God did not love me , Although God loves all of us . He gives us many blessings ; yet tests as well. I do not why we never understand this early on in life .
Zaroon with his laptop ; Years of marital bliss . All these years God has been very kind to me . And no matter how hard i try to thank Him i do not think i can ever thank him enough .
Zaroon with his daughters in the lawn who are tending the plants . Kashaf standing in the balcony then Zaroon pours water on his daughters and all are enjoying . then near the sea , All four of them . Kashaf ; My life has not finished as yet but the only difference is that my diary does not have any more complaints with regard to God and his injustice . I have also learnt a few things in life , one is to accept that which He gives me and other is to stop searching for that which is unattainable .
Ends with both going together in the sea water hand in hand towards the horizon
