Keywords

💡Mahnoor

Mahnoor is one of the main characters in the script. She used to teach children at the palace and had developed a close relationship with Shehram. However, after an altercation with Shehram's aunt, she stops coming to the palace, leaving Shehram confused and concerned. This highlights the complex social dynamics and class differences affecting their relationship.

💡Shehram

Shehram is another central character. He is shown to be kind-hearted but also isolated after his father's death. His growing fondness for Mahnoor despite their class differences is a main theme. However, miscommunications create rifts between them.

💡Palace

The palace is the primary setting of the story. It represents the wealthy, elite class that Shehram belongs to. Mahnoor's discomfort there after being insulted shows the rigid social hierarchies.

💡Teaching

Mahnoor's teaching of village children at the palace symbolizes her kind nature and Shehram's philanthropic vision. Her being forced to stop highlights class divides and barriers to equality.

💡Aunt

Shehram's aunt plays the role of the antagonist. She insults and looks down on Mahnoor due to her lower class status, eventually forcing her to leave the palace. This underscores issues of prejudice.

💡Father's death

Shehram's father passing away left him emotionally vulnerable. This event contextualizes his isolation and need for compassion, which he finds in Mahnoor's company.

💡Miscommunication

Lack of communication and misunderstandings, often related to class differences, lead to conflicts between Shehram and Mahnoor. This emphasizes the need for openness.

💡Social status

Mahnoor and Shehram's differing social statuses complicate their relationship and interactions. Her lower status makes Shehram's aunt discriminate against her.

💡Village

Mahnoor belongs to the village, representing the lower economic class. This highlights the vast social differences between her humble roots and Shehram's wealthy background.

💡Inequality

Issues of inequality, prejudice and class divides are central themes. The contrast between the palace and the village underscores the tension around these themes.

Transcripts

I don't want to see you here again.

Clean the floor after she leaves.

Listen to me,

you won't go out of this house and you will never look back at that palace again.

Why would he lie to me?

Maybe he likes any girl.

Do you know, what are you saying?

Obviously, she must need money.

And she wasn't getting any salary here.

Saleem, I am having severe headache. What are you doing?

I was making tea for Mr. Shehram.

I will take this tea. No

. You make another cup for him.

No, if I won't give him this tea then Madam will be angry with me.

I will make another cup for you.

Tell me one thing. Yes.

Is this biscuit available here?

Yes, it is available at nearby shop

So do this for me, take this cash and please bring these biscuits for me please.

Let me give tea to Mr. Shehram first. And keep the change.

I will give him this tea. But come back quickly. Right.

What are you doing?

I have sent Saleem to nearby shop to bring something for me.

Is this Shehram's tea?

Yes.

Give him this tea.

Mahnoor, if you felt my words bad that night then I am sorry for that.

I didn't want to hurt your feelings.

But please talk to me once.

Please.

What's the matter? Why are you so quiet?

No, nothing.

I was thinking that I am here for so many days but I couldn't understand the rules of this palace.

Let me solve this puzzle for you. Ask me.

Hashim is the oldest servant in this palace. Right?

Hmm.

So why don't you ask him to do anything?

Only Saleem does everything for you.

Hashim is Murad Shah's trust worthy servant.

I always considered him part of this family

so I don't like him to do so many things.

Otherwise he will think that I am treating him as a servant after Mr. Shah's death.

So he is attached to Shehram.

Shehram, eats his food in his room.

Someone should give him company while he is eating.

I mean Abdul or Tabraiz.

He likes to stay lonely so leave it.

Is he habitual of living alone or he has been forced to live alone?

Are you feeling well?

What are you talking about?

No aunt, I mean to say that whenever

someone is in trauma then he wants to be alone

but it doesn't mean that we leave him alone.

Everyone here is responsible to take care of his time.

Both him and me.

But if you are so worried about him then you can eat with him from today.

Right?

Now go to sleep.

Good night.

Do I bring dinner for you?

I don't want to eat anything.

Do you have any idea?

Mr. Rauf,

do you have any idea that I haven't asked you to give me cash to manage household expenses for last so many days?

Ask me why?

Because Mahnoor used to give me cash.

And she said that mom, keep it

so that you can manage the household expenses and you won't have to bother dad for that.

Is this her fault that she is a girl?

Tell me, answer my question that is this her fault that she is girl.

Abida.

Mr. Rauf,

both you and me know it very well

that she didn't do anything wrong.

She did everything with our consent.

And she went there with you permission that night

and came back as soon as rain stopped.

So, whose fault is this?

Our daughter's?

or the neighbors who don't want to see anyone happy

and make stories out of nothing.

All village is discussing about her.

What do you want from me?

That I should give her a free hand.

And ask her to go to palace and do whatever she wants to do.

Why do you forget that we have another daughter as well.

No Mr. Rauf,

she doesn't want to go to palace now.

But we can't imprison her in the house like this.

OK, I admit she did whatever she wanted to do

but she always wanted our betterment and especially yours.

Despite numerous differences, she has been crying for you.

That my dad is in trouble and he is worried because of me.

What should I do to give him relief and what should I do to make him proud of me?

Her way of doing can be wrong but not her intentions.

Rauf, please forgive her. Please forgive her.

Would you like to have anything else sir?

No Ilyas, thank you.

Ilyas tell me one thing. Yes sir.

What kind of person Mr. Shehram is?

He was so excited about school project that day

but now I am waiting for his approval on this model for the last five days

but he neither responds to my messages nor receives my calls.

Maybe he is not feeling well.

After Mr. Shah's death, it seems that he has forgotten everything.

Yes maybe.

Please send someone to palace and tell him that I am waiting for him. How long will I sit here.

Right sir. Thank you.

Aunt, where are you going?

Why are you worried about me?

No, I can do anything if you want me to do.

Now, breakfast time has gone so I am arranging lunch for Shehram.

He started to wake up early morning but I don't know why he has lost his routine?

He hasn't changed his routine but changed his intentions.

He used to wake up early because of Mahnoor.

But why will he wake up early after she has left.

Look at your attire, what are you doing?

I want to have yoga in the garden.

In this much heat?

Can I do that in lounge if no one has any issues with that?

Yes, as you wish.

So you did your yoga. Yes.

I want to make milkshake. Can I use kitchen?

Yes you can. Take it.

Is this for Shehram?

Yes, it's Shehram's breakfast. Take it quickly. Can I take it?

OK. You go.

It will get cold so take it quickly. Yes, I am taking it after making milkshake.

Good morning. Good morning and Thank you so much. Here is your breakfast.

Thank you so much, you do always do so much for me.

And today, there are some new items in the breakfast

It's a changed menu. Thank you.

Thank you so much.

You are so brave.

How can you say that?

I don't have that much courage to hang my mom's picture in my room.

It needs a very big heart.

How can we see that person in the picture who used to be your whole world.

I am weaker than you in this regard.

Dad did this.

Now his picture is outside but I don't have that much courage to bring that in.

You miss him so much. Right? Hmm.

But the love mom has given me is sufficient to forget all sorrow.

What happened? Did I say something wrong?

No, I think something went into my eye.

I will take a quick shower. Enjoy your breakfast.

Greetings. Where is our teacher?

Sister Mahnoor is over there.

What are you doing here?

Sister Mahnoor, you didn't come to teach us.

We were waiting for you that day but you didn't come to teach us.

Sorry teacher.

Sorry accepted.

Now go to your home quickly.

When will you come to teach us?

I will come to teach all of you very soon. Now go to your home.

Greetings uncle Ajmal. Greetings Shehram.

How are you my child? I am fine.

Hey little boy.

Bring tea for him. No, there is no need for that please.

Uncle Ajmal, I want to know about Mahnoor.

No, she didn't come for so many days.

She stopped to put her lamps at my shop as well.

You told me that she used to share her grievances about me with you.

Didn't she complain against me?

No my child, I haven't met her for a long time.

Tell me one thing Shehram, I can sense concern in your voice.

What do I tell you uncle?

She has stopped to come to palace and stopped to teach children as well.

She isn't receiving my calls and I don't know she and her family are alright or not.

I already knew that my child, you chose a very tough girl.

Love is not easy uncle.

Has anything happened in palace or has someone said anything to her?

No, she used to come to palace to teach children and sometime she had a chat with me.

When she came last time then I was sleeping.

Maybe she must have felt any of my words bad.

Uncle, didn't you tell her that I used to buy all her lamps?

No. If I wouldn't know about your feelings then I had told her.

Because you were not buying those lamps only that time,

but I know very well about your feelings for her.

That's why I didn't say anything.

This little boy gave her money quietly at her home.

OK, I am leaving now, I will come again.

Stay happy. Good bye. Good bye.

Do come here my son.

Are you from Karachi?

Yes madam. And what about you?

Wow. So nice to meet you again madam.

Sir, it's a courier for you.

Please sign here.

No don't take peoples' words seriously they are habitual of making stories out of nothing.

I was with wife of CM and I talked to her.

Mom.

What's the matter?

Mom, I have completed my course.

Aren't you seeing that I am talking on phone.

Put it here I will see it later. Sorry. OK, tomorrow evening.

Absolutely right. Thank you so much.

Abdul, come here. I wasn't sleeping. I was just taking rest. Come and sit.

Nothing brother Shehram, actually

I have completed my course and got this certificate.

Many many congratulations to you. You are the most genius among all brothers.

We should frame it buddy.

Are you serious? Yes of course.

Very very well done. Well done. As I told you that you can do it.

Was Shehram also quiet today?

No.

He had a long chat with me today.

I took his tea at right time. Did you see?

As I told you that Shehram will pay attention towards you once that girl leaves this palace.

You were right aunt

that you don't hate anyone and you only love yourself.

I mean, you love Shehram, this palace and me.

Any doubt?

I think, I should take Shehram's food to his room from tomorrow

because I get so many opportunities to talk to him.

OK.

But don't just focus on his food. Move forward.

I have already done that aunt to a great extent.

Don't think that I have imprisoned you in the house.

I forbade you to go to palace but didn't forbid you to go out.

You can ask children to come here again for studies again, if you want.

But you said earlier

that there is no room for those children in this house.

Because I didn't have that much room in my heart at that time.

I know that all children love you so much and this will be injustice to them.

I said so much that day but I couldn't say what I wanted to say.

Do you know, what is the most deadly hit with hurts people like us?

It's about our honor and dignity.

You broke your marriage because of this honor and dignity

just to prevent your sister and fought against everyone.

Just consider that I am doing that for you right now

that's why I said that much that night.

Any father would do the same thing.

You don't have to justify. You were right.

And respect your every single word.

But I only need your trust dad.

On myself and on your upbringing. Not on those people. Right?

God bless you. Dad.

Thank you. God bless you.

Greetings. Greetings.

You are Mahnoor. We met in palace that day.

Yes but what are you doing here?

I am an architect of this project but I am bit confused.

You are here, I am here but the person who is more concerned about this place is nowhere.

Don't you have any contact with Shehram? No madam.

It's useless to go to palace because I get exhausted while waiting there for long periods.

Doesn't he come to factory? No.

If I am not wrong, you go there everyday to teach children.

Didn't you meet him?

No.

I must leave now. No madam.

Can I ask you why?

I am not going to palace but don't ask me why.

No, don't worry. I won't.

I am sorry, I coincidentally saw you crying there that day then I realized that.

But anyways, if you meet with Mr. Shehram then convey my message to meet me here

because we are wasting so much time.

OK.

So it means that you won't teach in this school as well.

I don't know, if it's written in my fate then I will definitely do that.

After talking to you I assume that I will be sent back to Karachi very soon.

Are you from Karachi?

Yes madam, and what about you?

Wow.

So nice to meet you again madam.

You know what, I was surprised that you were teaching in the scorching heat

so you must be habitual of such cruel weather.

I must leave now. OK.

Is no one at home?

No but I am here.

Sister.

There is no one at home right now so you can talk to me.

Where did you go?

I went to school.

I was missing all children so much.

I was missing that happiness which I saw on those children faces.

Were you missing the children only?

If you will talk like this then I won't talk to you rather I will leave.

Stop, I am leaving.

Keep sitting.

Say something.

I don't know whether he is alright or not.

Whatever happened, Shehram has no fault in that.

I am saying the same thing.

He neither did anything nor he said anything.

I think he mustn't have known anything about it.

Mr. Shehram respects Madam so much.

But he doesn't know that how bitter she is.

The way she met with me that day,

I couldn't even imagine that she would have that much hatred in her heart.

Did you try to contact you after that day?

So many times

. Did you respond?

No.

Why are you afraid?

You know the circumstances through which we have gone through and have reached here.

Despite that you are asking this question.

That was our past. I am talking about the present.

It's about your happiness.

Go somewhere else if you want to say such nonsense.

You are afraid of giving answers to me. Right?

It's just that

if a tree doesn't get any sunlight and has no growth

and it can neither provide shadows to anyone

so it is better to uproot that tree and throw away.

How many times I have told them to knock the door gently

because everyone is sleeping. But no.

But they make a loud noise and wake up all neighbors

Take it.
