Zara’s Nikah 5 July 2020: Alina comes there and says bhabhi where are you going? Zara and Kabir looks on. Zara says I have some work, I will meet you later, she leaves from back door. Kabir says lets go, he goes to lounge with Alina.
All family members sit in lounge. Shahbaz says call groom and bride. Alina and Kabir comes there. Ayesha asks where is Zara? Alina says she left. Ayesha says where? Alina says maybe her home. All are stunned. Kabir hints Alina to remain silent. Salma says I will call Zara. Irfan says Zara doesnt have phone. Zeenat says I made so much food for Zara and she ranaway? Kabir says she didnt runaway, she told us that she has some work. Alina says she said to tell you all that she is sorry.
Shahbaz says its okay, she must have something important to work on. Zeenat says to family that its first day and bride is not here, groom have to eat alone and its not a good omen. Zeenat says there is not bad or good omen. Shahbaz says Kabir is right but if Zeenat have problem then we can get someone to sit beside him. Ruksar is passing by, Shahbaz asks her to sit beside Kabir, all look on. Zeenat nods at her. Ayesha is tensed. Salma is miffed, Ayesha notices it and asys one minute Ruksar. She says Kabir you get up.
She says Kabir and Ruksar wont sit on those chairs, me and Salma will sit on those chairs, Zara is her shadow and Kabir is my shadow so we will sit. Salma sits with Ayesha there, Kabir smiles. Zeenat fumes in anger.
Salma comes home and says to Zara that what is this childish act, why did you leave when head priest was there? Zara says you people are forcing two adults for engagement and didnt even think what I was going through. Salma says when you started school in childhood, you never wanted to go, you used to cry so much and Irfan thought to not sent you home but I sent you to school because I knew it was right for you. Zara says going to school for sometime and marrying wrong person is same? Salma says you think this is bad for you but its not, dont be stubborn, you are engaged so accept it. Zara says its just engagement, not marriage. Zara says to Salma that either you dont understand or you are avoiding it, I am telling you last time that at time of nikah I will say no. Irfan is shocked to hear it.
Zara says to Salma that I will say no in Nikah, she takes off engagement ring and leaves. Salma says to Irfan that I am tired to make her explain, what if she does that later.
Kabir comes to Shahbaz and says I want to request to stop this wedding, I dont want whole family to get insulted. Shahbaz says if you want to insult our family then do it, this marriage is written in your fate. Kabir says I will say no. Shahbaz says I am making pillar for you to become head of this city, Kabir says I am your son, God is watching everything.
Zeenat asks Ruksar why did you say no and gave Zara’s hands in KAbir’s hands. Ruksar sees Ayesha coming there and says I did what was right, what Zara did for me opened my eyes, I am doing this for happiness of others. Ayesha comes there and says I am proud of you Ruksar, Ruksar says I am spreading happiness. Zeenat thinks whats going on?
Kabir’s family comes to Salma’s house for mehndi. Salma is not happy to see Ruksar. Ruksar greets her.
They all settle down. Salma asks Shabana her servant to serve them. Salma comes to Irfan and says Ruksar has come here, I am worried what if she does something wrong. Irfan says if she wanted to do something bad then she wouldnt have give Zara’s hand in Kabir’s hand. Salma says your daughter is no less, she didnt come till now, I will go check on her.
Zeenat asks guests to call bride, we cant wait that much. Ayesha asks her to calm down. Zeenat says we have a lot of work, Salma says I will call Zara. Reema brings Zara there. Salma asks her to sit silently. Zara sits down. Zeenat asks Zara where is your engagement ring? all look on. Zeenat says you got engaged yesterday and couldnt bear heaviness of that ring for one day? Zara looks on. Ayesha says on your mehndi day, you took off your engagement ring too, all girls do it for mehndi, stop criticizing small things. Ayesha asks Salma to call her guests and start ceremony. Salma nods.
Guests start applying haldi, one woman is about to apply haldi to Zara but Zeenat says this woman is a widow, its bad omen that she is applying haldi, woman sadly turns to leave but Zara stops her and says there is no restrictions for widow in our religion. Ayesha says you are right Zara, there are no such things in our religion, she asks widow to start rituals, widow does. Ayesha brings Zeenat to corner and says what is all this? remember one thing, if you try to spoil my son’s happiness then I can become your mother in law instead of your mother. Zeenat is stunned. Ayesha glares at her and leaves. Ayesha applies haldi to Zara’s face. Zara is sad. Salma comes to her and applies haldi on her, Zara holds her hand and pleads silently. Salma takes her hand back and wipes her tears. Ruksar applies haldi on her face and smiles.
Zara washes haldi from her face and is shocked to see rashes and allergy on her face. She screams mom! Ruksar and Salma comes there. Ruksar crazily laughs seeing Zara’s state. Salma and Zara looks at her in confusion. Big pimples fall on Zara’s face.. it all turns out to be Salma’s bad dream. She wipes her sweat and glass falls from her hands, she is about to pick it up but Ruksar comes there and says they say when glass breaks then bad omen goes away. Salma says you need anything?
Ruksar says your behavior shows that you are miffed with me, I am sorry if I have hurt you, she holds her hand and says I promise I will never come inbetween Zara and Kabir. Salma says there is only one way to not come inbetween, leave that house forever. Ifran comes there and says its not needed at all. Irfan says to Ruksar that Shahbaz called you a daughter so you are daughter for us too, even if you did some mistake, we have forgiven you, go and enjoy. Ruksar thanks him, she smirks and leaves. Irfan says to Salma that God likes people who are forgiving. Salma says I dont trust this girl, I just trust head priest and Ayesha thats why I decided to give Zara in this family.
Reema says to Alina that your plan is nice but Zara is already in bad mood, what it back fires. Alina says it wont happen, we will bring them together, please accept this. Reema says okay. Alina says I will handle Zara as she wont scold me even if she gets to know about plan and you handle Kabir, he wont scold you.
In function, Ayesha says lets start applying mehndi on Zara’s hands. She asks Salma to sing, Salma says I cant, let girls enjoy. All girls start dancing. Alina and Reema comes there with Ruksar and dances. Zeenat glares at Ruksar. Alina tries to pull Zara on stage but Zara moves back. Ruksar pulls Zara on stage and dances with her. She twirls Zara on Swaar lun song and dances with her, Zara is uncomfortable. Alina and Reema dances with her too. Zara goes and sit on swing grumpily. Salma smiles at Zara.
Reema distracts Zara while Aline writes Kabir’s name on her mehndi. Zara doesnt see it. Salma is emotional. Ayesha wipes her tears and says we will take care of your daughter. Zara leaves from there.
Kabir says to Alina that these rituals are useless, they are not part of our religion so I wont be part of it. Alina says Zara’s family is waiting, all guests have come, Salma aunty and her guests are there, please come. Ayesha brings clothes and says Kabir get ready. Alina says he is not coming saying they are not part of our religion. Ayesha asks Kabir that listening to your mother is part of our religion? right? if it is then get ready and come with me, I am waiting, Kabir grumpily goes to get ready.
Kabir comes to haldi ceremony and greets Salma. Girls answer him and giggles. Salma applies haldi to him. Alina and Ayesha applies it then. Zeenat says to Ruksar that I raised you like a mother, you cant hide your tears from me, its very hard to pretend to be nice, you have to give your love to other, why you want to be nice, its not bad to be a little bad. Ruksar says you are elder to me in age but I am more clever in thinking with mind, you think from heart. Reema says to Kabir that I am going to be your sister in law so I will apply shagun mehndi. Kabir nods. Reema winks at Alina to busy him while she writes Zara’s name on his hand. Alina asks him for sister’s rights. One girl says make your brother handle your tantrums, once wife comes in life, brothers forget their sisters. Reema applies mehndi on his hands.
Zara looks at her mehndi and sees Kabir’s name written on her hand, she recalls how they always had an argument. Shubratan(servant) brings juice for her and says apply it on your mehndi, it will color your mehndi more. Zara throws juice away and says you want mehndi to have more color right? Zara brings water bucket and washes her hands. Shubratan asks her to stop it and says this is not right. Zara washes her mehndi away and cries.
Kabir comes to washroom and washes off his mehndi. He sees Z written on his hand and is stunned. Ruksar brings towel for him. He doesnt take it. Ruksar says marriage day is most beautiful, fulfill all your rituals, I want you happy. Kabir says you are lying, if you wanted to see me happy then you wouldnt have got me engaged with Zara. Ruksar says you wanted to marry a girl that your father liked and he likes Zara. Kabir says he doesnt like her, he is doing politics, we are friends then why did you do this with me? Ruksar says you took me as friend but I always took you more than that, I will never do bad with you, what I did was for your happiness, he says this is not my happiness, Ruksar leaves. Kabir calls Zara but her phone is switched off.
Salma says to irfan that they treated us well, Ayesha is doing really nice work, Zara is lucky to have her as her mother in law. Kabir calls Irfan and says can I say something? I am sorry if you dont like it. Irfan says you are like our son so we wont feel bad. Kabir says actually.. I want to talk to Zara. Irfan smiles and says she is your would be wife so you can talk to her. He calls Zara and gives her phone. Zara sees Kabir’s call and looks on. She takes phone and leave. Salma tries to go behind her but Irfan says you wont have shame to listen to their talk? Salma says they plan and plot to break marriage. Irfan makes her sit down and says you told me that like Zara did engagement, she will do marriage, tomorrow is wedding, they dont have time to plan.
Zara talks to Kabir and says I cant bear it, I am suffocating, please do something before we get married. Kabir says same is happening with me, can we meet? Zara says not today but tomorrow I will go to beauty parlour for getting ready, you can meet me there. Kabir says okay I will come there, he ends call.
In morning, Zara and Reema are going. Salma says why she has to go to parlor, you can bring beautician here. Reema says they cant do everything in house, she will get better treatment there. Zara makes sad face and says leave it Reema, I will get ready in house. Salma says no listen, fine you both go with Shubratan(servant). Zara and Reema are tensed. Reema and Zara sits on scooty, Shubratan says where will I sit? scooty doesnt have space, Zara says take rickshaw and come, we are getting late, she leaves with Reema.
Shahbaz asks Kashan why baraat car is not decorated? Kashan says Kabir is not home, he left with his car. Alina says Kabir told me that he is going with Imran for servicing his car. Shahbaz says right now? Alina says he will comeback. All look on.
Scene 2
Zara is getting ready in parlor. Reema says he has come. Zara goes to meet him. Song Mana k hum yaar nahi plays, Kabir comes in parlour and sees Zara trying to tackle her flowing her hair, he is mesmerized with her beauty. He sees Zara covering her head with dupatta, Zara doesnt see him admiring her. Kabir is completely lost in her. Zara looks at him, he points to door, she passesby, Kabir holds his breath and goes to room with her. Zara says to Kabir that we will get married in some hours.
Kabir says and you dont want that marriage to happen, I mean we dont want that, there is one way, we will say no at time of nikah. Zara says I will say no too, they didnt leave me choice. Kabir says at time of nikah, our parents will emotionally blackmail us, tell us about their insult but we have to say no. Zara says they didnt leave us choice even if after we said no, we will say no at time of marriage now.
Reema says you both are perfect for each other then why you are breaking it off. Zara says this is not what I wanted, I want a husband who can treat his wife with respect, who can take her to beach, have long walks with her barefoot, have someone who can do anything for his wife and love her unconditionally. Zara says I dont want a husband who make me his servant in the name of religion, if I find someone that I like then I will marry him. Kabir says I also dont want to marry a girl who twists Islamic rules because of her stubbornness and tell them to people, if I find a woman who follows religion rightly then I will marry her, thats why we both dont want to marry. He turns to leave but Zara says remember we both have to say no for nikah.
