Scene 3:
Location: Lahore, Pakistan
Shaad says that he wanted to tell this, but couldnt. His father is enraged and furious, as he always used to cite his duty, as a reason for his reluctance. He says that he has made marriage as a joke, and how he has maligned them. he asks him to think once of misbah. Shaad’s father says that for the first time, he feels why did the lord even give him a son, as he regrets it. She tries to speak. But his father shuts her up. She is shocked. His father apologises to everyone, and then goes inside. All the ladies start commenting and gossiping as they leave. Shaad eyes sanam crying incoherently. He goes over to her, and is about to console her, when the phone rings, with a call from Officer Rathore, and he leaves to attend the call. she breaks down inconsolably. the screen freezes on her face.
sanam is extremely upset as she is changin, when shaad comes behind her. he apologises, while she asks if he even means what he says, and thought that what he did downstairs was so trivial. she asks if this is an excuse of helplessness. she asks if he has a better excuse. He stands complying. sanam says to Shaad that all men have this problem that they all know how to break hearts, but dont know how to apologise. she asks if this is the way to apologise, and it should feel a genuine heartfelt apology, straight from the heart, lamenting how he doesnt know how to say sorry. she asks him to get down on his ness, and catch his ears and apologise. He is disbelieving. she asks him to do so, or else she wont talk to him. he looks around, while she asks him to get down to business, as she is waiting. He gets down on his knees, cautious that noone sees him, he says I AM SORRY.
sanam eyes him angrily. She asks if he is doing a favour, and asks him to catch his ears and repeat it again. he complies angrily. she pretends not to be able to hear and then makes him say that this wont happen again. he complies. she says that she forgave him then. He is shocked that she let go of her anger so easily. she says that a husband cant keep his wife mad for long. she assures him that she would set everything straight between him and his family. She leaves to change, while he feels guilty that he is using advantage of her, to get to the friend’s murderer, so that he can bridge the gap between the two warring nations and any amount of apology is insufficient.
while misbah is changing, distraught and in tears, her mother apologises for what she is going through and vehemently tries to state, that she had no clue of this, and had she known, she would never have gotten her here. Aaftab, shaad’s father stands outside, saying that she shouldnt apologise, instead he should as its his fault. he asks her to compose herself. Wazira asks what good his apology would do, and wants his help, saying that he doesnt know how important this marriage is for her, and her daughter’s life. He says that pairs are made in heaven, and hence Misbah is meant to be with someone else, and promises that he shall get a betyter groom for misbah than shaad, and till it doesnt happen, she would stay here as his daughter. misbah hears this tensedly. He says that he is completely mortified and embarassed.
Misbah asks why is he embarassed and apologising, as he isnt guilty of any mistake, and that when pairs are made in heaven, maybe she has someone else in her destiny, as god always does everything for the best, and if she had gotten married to Shaad, she would have become his Bahu, and she woulodnt have been able to be his daughter. he blesses her to be happy.
