Hi everyone. I will be writing a MaHer FF and will be posting on weekends only. I promise this time it will be a happy ending. Will probably be around 8 to 10 episodes.
This FF will begin from the track where Seher and Mahid's Nikkah is taking place.
Kazi: Seher Baig I am asking you again, do you accept your marriage with Mahid Niyazi?
Seher's eyes longed for the sight of that one person, her last hope, her Ammi. She has dragged her silence for too long, all she needed is her to reach the venue on time.
Just then her father looked at her and shot daggers with his eyes indicating he would kill her and her Ammi if she didn't say Qubool.
Seher: Qu..qubool...hai...Qu..qubool...hai..Qu...bool hai...
Tears dropped from her eyes as she said those heavy words she never wanted to.
The Kazi went to the groom to get his approval. It was all over. Now Seher saw her dreams of being a doctor being shattered into pieces like broken glasses that can't be joined. She wanted to cry out loud she couldn't.
Kazi: Mahid Niyazi do you accept this Nikkah?
Mahid looked at Seher.
Mahid: Hume yeh Nikkah...Qubool...
Seher closed her eyes.
Mahid: Nahi hai!
There was suddenly a pinch of silence! Seher looked up. Her hopes were suddenly alive!
Everyone was in shock and disbelief, except for two very happy faces of Mahid's aunt - Husna Fupijaan and cousin who had delusional one-sided love for him - Nazima.
Dada Huzur: Mahid? What are you saying? This is not a joke!
Mahid: (angry and throwing his Pagdi) It is you guys who made this a joke!
Mahid: You know very well I never wanted to marry an underage girl. Seher is underaged how could you think I will marry a...disgusting!
Dada Huzur: Mahid I was doing this for your well-being... By the time I found out you didn't want to marry an underage girl, you looked really happy after your Nikkah was fixed with Seher. This is why I had no choice... I did it for your well-being.
Mahid: Dada Huzur, what you did was a Gunnah(sin). Fooling someone in marriage by lying is a very big sin. Making fake IDs...
How could you be part of it?!
Dada Huzur: Mahid I know you are very upset. But think carefully! Seher is a really nice girl, and matches with you well. The only issue is the age.
Mahid: You are saying as if it's a small thing! Maybe religion-wise it is legal, but we are also advised to balance with government law too, it is not legal! No doubt Seher is a really nice girl but she doesn't deserve to get married this early.
Mahid looks at Seher while Seher gives him a thankful look for understanding her.
Mahid: What you were doing was a sin Dada Huzur and I am not going to be a part of it!
Dada Huzur: I am a Mufti and have seen the world more than you and studied the religion more than you, don't teach me!
Mahid: Okay fine as you wish! But Nikkah means the consent of two individuals, if you are not going to get my consent how will this Nikkah even happen?!
Mahid storms out of the venue angrily. Tahir rushes to calm him.
Dada Huzur: I apologize Parvez Miah and Seher. This shouldn't have happened. Mahid has made a huge mistake!
Parvez: We can wait till Seher turns 18!
Parvez follows Dada Huzur like a puppy finding a way to keep Seher and Mahid's relationship intact somehow for his own benefits.
Safia: Seher your luck is indeed really bad! You could have ended up in a lavish, rich family but now...
Safia leaves too. Kausar reaches the venue running in her Burqa.
Kausar: Seher! I am so sorry! I am late...I put you down!
Seher: The Nikkah didn't happen Ammi..
Kausar: (hopeful) Really?!
Seher: Mahid found out my real age and then he himself stepped back!
Kausar hugs Seher.
Kausar: Allah has shown us mercy! Now you can fulfil your dreams! Let's go to Dr Fareed now! You did right by telling Mahid, your real age. You should have done so earlier.
Seher: If I had known earlier he had a problem with my age I would have said from the start. Usually, guys don't care about the age so I didn't think Mahid would have a problem with it
But I still don't understand how Mahid found out my real age. I didn't tell him!
Mahid is driving his car angrily and upset and just then he recalls what happened.
Just before he was going to sit for the ceremony, he got a call from Dr Fareed.
Mahid: Dr Fareed? Where are you...you are..
Dr Fareed: Mahid I have to ask you something important! Is your bride's name, Seher?
Mahid: Yes, but why are you asking?
Dr Fareed: Do you know everything about her? Is she really okay with this Nikkah?
Mahid: To be honest her eyes portrayed that she was afraid of something. I asked her 2-3 times for her consent, and she said she was okay with it!
Dr Fareed: (whispering) Her dad must have threatened her.
Dr Fareed: So you know everything about her? Her age and all? And you still want to go ahead with this marriage?
Mahid: Her father was showing me her Adhaar Card there it says 18!
Dr Fareed: They are lying to you Mahid. Seher is just a 16-year-old girl!
Mahid: Wait...what do you mean?!
Dr Fareed tells Mahid everything. About Seher's dreams and how her father tortures her and her mother asked for his help.
Dr Fareed: I don't think Kausar can arrive on time. It is all in your hands now Mahid.
Mahid cuts the call.
His anger starts to rise slowly hearing that.
Tahir also gets scared seeing him angry as he holds the flower in his hand and it breaks into scattered petals.
Mahid gets out of the flashback.
Mahid: (in his mind) This is why Seher's eyes didn't express happiness like I first thought. I thought she was nervous but she didn't want this marriage to happen in the first place! She was forced in this...I thought like me, she will also fall in love....what am I even thinking?! What is wrong with me?! She is an underage girl!!
Mahid bangs the steering wheel in anger!
Mahid: I should have never trusted anyone! Not even Dada Huzur! Such a big deceit!
At Baig house,
Kausar and Seher are quickly packing their items.
Kausar: Seher we need to leave before your Abbu is back!
Asad: Appi, Badi Ammi you both are leaving?!
Seher hugs Asad.
Seher: I will always pray for you. And when I become a successful doctor, I will take care of you.
Asad: Thankfully Mahid Bhaijaan stopped the Nikkah! All the best Appi! Leave before Abbu comes back!
Kausar: Asad I wish you were my real son. We three would have gone together.
Asad: Pray for me Badi Ammi that's all I need from you.
Kausar hugs Asad too.
Asad: Badi Ammi, Appi leave before Abbu comes back!
Seher and Kausar nod. They quickly prepare to leave just then they see Parvez standing there angrily. Seher and Kausar get scared seeing him.
Kausar tries to ignore him, holds Seher's hand and leave but Parvez holds Seher by her hair.
Seher: Ammi!!!!
Kausar: Seher!!!
Parvez: Tell me what you tell Mahid?! You told him right?!
Seher nods no.
Parvez: Then how did he find out about your age?!
Parvez slaps Seher hard across her face. Asad quickly runs to see this!
Kausar: Have some shame. You can't hit your daughter like that. Fear Allah!
Parvez: I have all rights to punish her, I should have stoned her be thankful I just slapped her. But I think that's surely not enough!
Parvez takes a stick and starts to hit Seher and Seher cries. Kausar tries to stop him but he keeps pushing her away.
He then grabs Seher by her hair and makes her face dip into the bucket full of water. Kausar hits him angrily but he gets angry and slaps her hard.
Safia: This is too much now Parvez Miah! You will kill the poor girl like that!
Parvez: I should have left her on the streets like her younger sister when she was born!
Kausar hears this in shock!
Kausar: My younger daughter...she is alive?!
Parvez: Yes you heard it right! She didn't die, I left her on the streets as I didn't want another burden!
Kausar holds his collar in anger.
Kausar: It is said that raising 2 daughters can earn you a spot in Jannah. But you won't care! You are worse than Shaitaan!
Parvez: Now you will see me killing your other daughter in front of you!
Parvez takes the stick to hit Seher on her head just then he sees someone holding him back. It was Mahid.
Both his eyes were red. In anger. He really looked like the devil to Parvez.
Parvez: Mahid...Mahid Miah? You and here?!
Mahid: How dare you raise your hand on Seher?!
Mahid starts hitting Parvez like anything. He answered Parvez for every act of violence he attempted on Seher today.
Mahid: Don't you know violence against girls and ladies is a huge sin?!
He punched him and hit him and Parvez barely could respond or get back to him. He held him by his hair and dipped him into the water even more violently!
Kausar ran and hugged Seher who was semi-conscious.
Just then Tahir brings the police comes and the police separate Mahid from Parvez.
Police: Mahid Miah I have told you multiple times don't take the law into your hands!
Mahid: Inspector, had I not arrived on time this Parvez would have killed this innocent girl! Then what would you have done? Still say the same? Let him go?!
Inspector: Arrest Parvez Miah for violence!
Parvez: (semi-conscious) Inspector, this crazy Mahid Miah was the one hitting me and you are arresting me?!
Kausar: Mahid Miah is right! He has tortured my daughter for years! He did many sinful things like domestic violence! He also hid one of our daughters and told me she is dead!
Inspector: Kausar Begun and Safia Begum we want both of you to follow us to the police station. We need your statement.
Parvez: Safia, please save me!
Safia: I am coming...
Kausar: But my daughter...
Mahid: Don't worry I am here to take care of Seher. Asad is here too.
Kausar looks at Seher and then she goes to the police station.
Seher is crying and shivering in fear and cold. Mahid takes a shawl and covers her while Seher looks at him innocently.
Asad: Appi...
Asad passes a glass of water and Seher drinks it slowly.
Mahid: I will be here till your Ammi comes back. Asad can you bring the first aid?
Asad nods.
Seher: Thank you for saving me.
Mahid: You should thank Asad as he went to my house and told me what your father was doing.
Seher: I don't know what would have happened if you didn't come?! Maybe I really would have been dead by now?!
Mahid puts his finger on her lips.
Mahid: You really don't think before saying?!
Usually, you speak a lot and also claim to take a stand for the right thing. But why didn't you take a stand for yourself? Why did you allow your Abbu to torture you all these years?!
Seher: He would have harmed my Ammi too. He already tortured her a lot if I spoke or did things against him he would punish Ammi more!
Mahid: He is a pathetic man! And you women are also wrong for not speaking against such men! Regardless of whether he is your father or not what he did was a major sin!
Seher: I was helpless.
Mahid: (laughs) It is ironic how you never wanted to marry and gave your consent while I didn't give my consent even if I want to..
Seher looks at him.
Mahid: Why didn't you trust me at all? Just for once, for once you could have said Mahid I don't want to get married, I would have stepped back and handled the situation. Had Dr Fareed not told me about your real age and everything it would have been a disaster!
Seher: I was wrong about you. You are a really good person.
Just then Asad brings the first aid. Mahid takes the box and nurses Seher's wound. Seher tells him some tactics to reduce the burning based on her medical knowledge.
Mahid while nursing her wounds recalled how he admired her during their sangeet. He got irked by it and moved away.
Mahid: I am standing outside your house. Once your Ammi is back I will leave.
Seher nods and Mahid stands outside. Soon, Kausar reaches home.
Mahid: Did you give your statement?
Kausar nods. Kausar thanks Mahid.
Mahid: I suggest that you divorce Parvez. You can't continue this, at least think about Seher.
Mahid leaves.
As days pass by,
Mahid has to overcome whatever happened all these days and try to divert his attention from that stuff by reading the Quran and getting himself busy with religious things.
And then he gets a message from Seher. Mahid thought to ignore it at first and then he read it anyway.
Mahid takes his car and drives. He then reaches the airport and goes there. He finds Seher who is wearing a burqa. He recognised her by her unique green innocent eyes.
Mahid: Why did you call me here? Which relative have you come to pick up this time?
She lifts her veil.
Seher: Sorry, I lied that day. Ammi and I were trying to run away and leave Lucknow for Delhi. For my dreams. But we didn't have our Adhar Card so we missed our flight...
Mahid sighs and doesn't say anything.
Seher: I am very thankful that you came into my life. If it wasn't for you, it wouldn't have been possible... I am going to chase my dreams with my Ammi...in Delhi...I will become a doctor InshaAllah! This time not just Adhaar Card, anything won't stop me!
Mahid: I wish you all the best for your journey. I don't have much idea about these things, maybe you might become a successful doctor. I still remember how you helped my Fupijaan the other day. It's good you told me this, I got something for you.
Seher: Me too.
Mahid passes a stethoscope to Seher. Seher looks at it.
Mahid: Continue to chase your dreams. Be a good doctor and help people. Don't forget your deen.
Seher nods and take the stethoscope. She passes him a Tasbi.
Seher: When we met at Minar, you unintentionally broke your Tasbi. So I got you a new one. Don't let your past memories shatter you. Create new memories and keep yourself calm and strong.
Mahid thanks her.
Seher: My flight is soon. I should go now.
Mahid: Stay happy and safe. Keep me in your prayers.
Seher walks off as she walks towards and Mahid sadly looks at her seeing her go
"Phir le aaya dil majboor kya keeje
Raas na aaya rehna door kya keeje"
He recalls their moment when they first clashed, and then her trying to hit him with a stone, then hew she passed him pieces of his broken Tasbi and telling him to fix his relationship with Allah.
"Dil keh raha use maqammal kar bhi aao
Wo jo adhoori si baat baaki hai
Mahid recalls how he admired Seher and how she tried to help him cope with his past trauma. He then looks away.
"Wo jo adhoori si yaad baaki hai
Wo jo adhoori si yaad baaki hai"
Seher looks at Mahid and she recalls how they ate Malai and Pizza together. And then their moments at the water side before their Nikkah that almost happened and how Mahid beat her father up for attacking her.
"Kismat ko hai yeh manzoor kya keeje
Milte rahe hum badastoor kya keeje"
Seher: (in her mind) I wasn't suppose to care about him. Why do I feel so bad about not probably not seeing Mahid again?!
"Dil keh raha hai use musalsal kar bhi aao Wo jo ruki si raah baaki hai"
They both walked in opposite direction mirroring their vast personalities.
Seher goes near the boarding gate while Mahid drives away sadly. Seher then boards the plane and her Ammi is sitting beside her holding her hand and assuring her all will be fine.
Seher looked out of the plane window.
Seher: (in her mind) Allah, give the peace Mahid has been looking for...
"Wo jo ruki si chaah baaki hai"
The plane departs and as Mahid is driving and waiting due to traffic he sees the plane flying off.
Mahid: (in his mind) Allah do help Seher to reach her dreams.
"Wo jo ruki si chaah baaki hai"
He then looks away and drives away while Seher closes her eyes to sleep, a peaceful sleep she was going to get after a long time.
"Wo jo ruki si chaah baaki hai"
The end.
