Don’t make this more difficult than it is. We are two different kinds of people and we cannot be happy if we’re together. What’s this?

Divorce papers. If there is something, you can talk to me about it. No, there’s just a lot of work at the hospital.

Look, I promise you that I will not give you a reason to complain about after today. You neither take care of yourself nor do you pay attention to your diet. All day long you’re busy at the hospital.

In this way you’ll become weaker. I’m completely fine. You shouldn’t worry about me.

I shouldn’t worry about you? And what is this? “Moving Beyond Trauma.

” Zara, while always reading medical books since when did you start reading these books? Mama, right now I need to read these kinds of books. It’s a part of my recovery process Do you know how sensible my daughter is?

How brave she is? She has gone against such a huge storm and yet she is still standing strong. I'm so proud of you.

Thank you, but… when a home breaks, one’s courage breaks down too. No matter how real the reasons are, nobody actually wants their home to fall apart, isn’t it? It feels like all strength and patience has scattered all over the place.

But you're right. I’ll be brave. I’ll try to get better soon.

I understand. Divorce is never easy. We didn’t want this either, my dear.

But no one has any power over their Fate. It's not just you; your father, and your grandmother; the tormenting pain that we’re going through…. You are our strength, aren’t you?

Hmm. When did we ever want things to turn out this way? But you have to be strong.

You have to take good care of yourself. Leave the past behind, my dearest, and the shadows of the past as well. Done.

Now don’t stress out and make me a nice cup of tea. I’ll come join you. Hmm.

Oh, wow, Deebu! Your mother-in-law decorated everything so wonderfully. Such beautiful decorations!

So nice! Praise the Lord! Your mother-in-law arranged everything so well I feel that she is really into it.

Her son is more excited than she is. Hmm? Hmm, if it was in his control, he would have decorated the entire house!

Does Numair know about all of these traditional ceremonies? Of course, he knows. Sister Nimra has two kids of her own.

All of their functions are celebrated very extravagantly here. Hmm, your mother-in-law is very happy too, right? Why wouldn’t she be happy?

Her grandson is coming after all. And what if it’s a granddaughter? Then it’ll be granddaughter, Mom.

To him and me this makes no difference. I’m so proud. I’m very happy about this.

Come, it’s a very good thing. Greetings. You’ve arrived!

Greetings to you too. How are you? I’m fine by the grace to God.

Many hearty congratulations to you. You have arranged everything, all of these arrangements, very beautifully. Yes, my daughter-in-law is so beautiful too after all.

Sit down. Go on and be seated. Sit down, my dearest.

Greetings. Oh, you’re here. Oh, greetings to you too.

I was just about to ask after you. Please, remain seated. How do I look?

Very beautiful. By the blessings of God. May God Almighty always keep our Deebu happy like this.

Amen. And our Zara too. May God Almighty bless her with good fortune as well.

Amen. By the way, they’re coming, right? Yes, Tayyaba is coming.

I don’t know about Zara. Maybe she’ll come, maybe she won’t, hmm… Oh, okay. There you go.

Tayyaba has arrived as well. Greetings! Greetings to you too.

How are you? We were just talking about you Thank you. How are you?

I’m fine. Greetings to you. How are you?

I’m fine. How are you? Uh, Maria, where is Numair?

Summon him too. Uh, I had told him. You should ask him to attend.

He refused me. But we will have to ask him to attend, right? Because there are so many condiments here which neither she can finish off nor can we finish them all by ourselves.

I had said the same thing to him. He responded with, “You fulfill your desires with all of this. I’m not coming.

” Alright, then, I’ll go and summon him. No Sure… You wait here. I’ll go bring him.

Alright. Greetings. May you live long and prosper.

Come join us. Oh, you didn’t come when I asked you to, yeah? He listened to his father-in-law and came right away.

And this is for our beautiful Deebu. Go on, take a look at it. Ah, thank you!

May you live long and prosper. And my dear, this is from me to you. Come on, Numair, you make her wear it.

How beautiful they are! Thank you. Numair, we had to do all of these ceremonies and give you all of these gifts too and you were refusing to show up.

You’re right, I should have come earlier. Yes. Umm… Zara She did not come today either?

She… she isn’t feeling quite well. Okay. Should we start the ceremony?

Yes, please. It’s already gotten so late. Hold this, dear.

Do you know how much time has passed? Hmm. Was our decision right?

I feel like you are still unable to accept it. This function should serve as proof that I am happy, Andaleeb. It doesn’t seem like it.

What do you presume? That I’m being pretentious? Then?

You never really told me. Is there anyone in your life now other than me or was in the past? The actual point of this question?

Um… Are you asking because of Moiz? No? I should go to bed.

Goodnight. Goodnight. Zara, why do you sit so zoned out all the time?

You’re all over the place. I feel like that… within myself…. I’m tangled up But even then, I don’t want to show any of this to anyone.

Especially not to my Mom and Dad; they can’t bear to see my tears. I feel like taking all of my sorrows and pain and lock them up inside me; and no should be able to take a peek to see what’s inside me. Zara, those tears aren’t a sign of your defeat.

They express your courage and bravery. Dealing with a mentally ill patient, you have handled everything with great bravery and resilience. You have….

compromised with those circumstances. You have done all which wasn’t even yours to begin with. None of this is your fault.

You cannot change a person’s nature or his habits. I know. You’re right.

But, you know what? You understand and say these things with a lot of ease, but… All of this is not that easy. I know that I took this decision of my own choice, but still divorce is hard.

I’m having great difficulties. Sometimes, I feel like crying a lot. Sometimes I feel very angry.

And I cannot explain all of this to anyone. People do not understand these things, right? Especially in our society where… I can’t do it.

Divorce is a lot better than crying and sobbing all the time. Divorce is very normal. People do live their lives after getting divorced.

Divorce means the end of a relationship. It doesn’t mean the end of life. Zara, look, I ….

cannot discuss these matters with you on a daily basis. You need a therapist. You need somebody professional.

Absolutely not. I don’t need anyone. You are there to reason and explain things to me and I’ll be fine.

You need to go see a therapist…Zara You need to open up. What is going happen by going to him? You’ll let out all the pent-up emotions inside you.

You’ll look at your life from a new angle. You’ll see a different aspect of your life. You’re going to a therapist.

You know it’s irritating. You always know how to explain something to me. It’s annoying.

That’s because I know you very well. You’re my friend. And friendship is a very special relationship, so… You’re going to a therapist.

Okay. Should I book an appointment? I’ll book it myself.

I’ll go, promise. I need updates. I’ll update you.

Thank you. Look, Zara, divorce is a tough time for both men and women. You see, in life, people meet, they part ways, relationships form and they break.

All of these are life’s experiences; we shouldn’t take them to heart. Don’t take it to your heart. Thank you.

What's going on in your heart? A lot of things…. You find it hard to share?

Yea? Yes. Okay, no problem.

Just say it. Whatever is in your heart, Zara, say it out aloud. Don’t keep a burden over your heart.

Even if you don’t make any sense, it's alright. Look, there’s no one here who is going to judge you. Ahem… I feel that I’m… completely alone.

Hmm… Some old close acquaintance, any friend, family? They’re all there. I have a very good friend; my parents are very supportive; and I have a younger sister; my cousin-sister; I mentioned her earlier.

But I feel as if they won’t be able to handle my pain. It feels like my sorrow and pain will make them weak, that is why. .

. when anyone asks me how I’m feeling, I go silent. It’s like some… Like a tree that provides shade…I feel like I’m that tree providing the shade, under whose shade everyone feels nice and cool, but no one ever thinks about the tree itself.

No one asks the tree if its roots are still strong or if they have withered and dried. You just compared yourself with a tree. Do you like trees?

Everyone likes trees. I used to do gardening as a child, maybe that's why I gave that example. Very good.

Since you like gardening then you should do gardening. Look, Zara… You have to become friends with Nature. The flowers, the trees, the grass, the wind, the moon, the sun… Become friends with all of them.

Life is beautiful. Let this light of life come into your heart. Open your heart.

I’ll try. Good. Mom, I… I’m going to the hospital.

My dear, I was thinking that it would have been better if Andaleeb’s case was handled by Zara. I didn’t want her to handle Andaleeb’s case. Why?

They’re both cousin sisters. Didn’t you see? She didn’t come to the baby shower either.

Yes, but why didn’t she come? She has trauma from the divorce. Now, in this condition, had she taken Andaleeb’s case and seen her in this situation, then it would have impacted her negatively.

And as a friend, I didn’t want that. Anyways, you take care of yourself. Have some tea.

No. I’m running late. Goodbye.

Bye Where are you Numair? Why aren’t you answering your phone? You never really told me.

Is there anyone in your life other than me or there was in the past? Are you asking because of Moiz? This child is not yours.

No, how… how can that be? Man, are you not suspicious of her? Once the child is born, make sure you get the DNA test done.

I know it! This is my child! Hello, Numair?

Where are you? I’ve been calling you for ages! Huh?

Get to the hospital immediately! I’m coming. .

. Uh, I’m coming. Many congratulations!

You have been blessed with a granddaughter. Really? Yes.

They’re both fine, right? Yes, yes, they’re both perfectly fine. Thank God for that!

I… May I see her? You may meet her. We are just about to shift her to the room.

Alright. Thank you, Doctor. No problem.

Hey. What took you so long? Take a look.

Look at this. Your Papa has come. Come on up.

Come on up. Take her. This child is not yours.

I’ll just be right back. Numair? What’s the matter, dear?

No, it’s nothing. I just came out for some fresh air. Look, I am your mother and you cannot hide anything from your mother.

First, you picked up the child with a lot of excitement, but that excitement faded immediately. Andaleeb must have noticed that fact as well. My dear, you are disturbed, and the whole world can see it.

Are you still upset with the fact that Andaleeb rushed in having a child and you were not ready for it? It’s nothing of the sort, Mom. I really was very excited.

Obviously, my dear. It’s a natural thing. Everyone has the same reaction.

But what I want to know is, what exactly happened after all that you left the child and came outside so suddenly? Tell me. You were so happy and relaxed.

What’s happened now? I’m worried about Andaleeb, Mom. She’s so young herself.

Will she be able to give the child any time? My dear, I’m here, aren’t I? I’ll give my support.

After all, I raised Nimra’s children too, isn’t it? Why are you worrying about it? Come along now.

Come inside. You go on ahead…. I’ll join you in a bit.

Are you going somewhere? Yes, I’m going to meet my Mom. Are you taking Anadil along too?

Obviously. Will she spend all her time with you? Leave her with me sometimes too.

You… You will be able to handle her? I’m her father. If she cries, how will you calm her down?

I’ll calm her down. That’s my problem. What if the diaper needs to be changed?

One has to start from somewhere, right? I’ll change the diaper too Oh, okay. Uh… Uh… I’ve kept her feeder in here.

And if you need any kind of help Bano is here. I’ve explained everything to her so she knows everything. And if she cries too much then please call me.

Just go. Are you sure, yeah? Yes.

I feel really happy! Thank you! Bye, bye, Mom will be back soon.

Oh… Uh, okay. Thank you. Bye.

Uh, Brother Zaheer? Turn the car around for a bit. Wait for a second.

Where is Numair going with Anadil? Uh, Brother Zaheer? Follow Sir’s car.

Greetings. Greetings to you too. Uh… Um, I want to get the child’s DNA test done.
