Smile please.

Smile.

Peace be upon you.

I love you.

And I know that you love me too.

All those years we spent together,

from college to university...

Every single moment I spent with you

was the best moment of my life.

I know all this seems

too much for you right now...

But trust me, my love

will be enough for both of us.

My life has no meaning without you.

And if you leave me...

I don't know what I'll do.

Look, you...

Who are you?

Who are you?

He's a mad man.

Kick him out of here!

You think you're some sort of hero?

I'm just sorry, I think there

must be some confusion.

I think I'm at the wrong wedding.

You've made it here,

but won't make it back.

One minute. Look brother,

it's my first time getting married.

Please don't ruin it.

If what this man is saying is true,

then there's no issue.

I swear I'm telling the truth.

Even if you're telling the truth...

you're not leaving here just like that.

You know what? Let's ask Mahi.

If she says he's telling the truth,

that'll be the end of it.

Mahi?

Yes. What did you say her name was?

Mahi, please.

- Mahi doesn't have to say anything. I--

- He's telling the truth.

Don't go!

What?

For four years, six months and

however many seconds...

I have always wanted you

with all my heart.

And I don't want to spend

even a second more without you!

Is she mad?

Run!

Are you insane? Who are you?

I don't even know you!

Who cares? Run or they'll kill us.

Hang on! Why would I be killed?

I don't even know...

What?

Do you have a car? Hello?

Let's go.

Where did he go?

Go that way.

Don't let any car out of here!

Check every single one of them!

She is behind this car, I think.

Stop that car that's leaving!

Stop! Hey, stop!

Let's go.

Mister, do you want to leave or stay here?

Let's go!

Where are you taking me?

Stop.

Stop the horse now.

Stop the horse!

What are you doing? Ouch!

Why are you going there?

Hey, mister! Are you serious?

- Do you know how to swim?

- What?

Swimming? Do you know how to swim?

Then what the hell are you doing?

Who are you? What are you?

What are you thinking?

Obviously I'm thinking

of jumping from here!

Then jump already.

But I don't think you'll jump.

I'll jump if I want to!

What do you mean, "okay"?

"Okay" means fine!

Fine!

Fine!

- Fine! I'm going to jump then.

- I'm waiting.

Listen! Don't jump right now.

Look, you're not going to die

if you jump from here.

And by the time you drown,

I'll jump in and save you.

Anyway, the water's really dirty

and it might have snakes in it.

So I might not dive in to save you.

Maybe you should reconsider?

What is your problem?

What is it that you want?

You've ruined my life!

The girl I love is marrying someone else

and I'm here talking to you! Why?

- Damn! Stop the horse!

- Do I like look like a stable boy?

- I can't run in this dress!

- So what can I do?

I don't know. It's gone.

God...

Do you have a phone?

Yes.

Can I make a phone call?

Of course!

Anything else I can do for you?

No, not right now.

You never told me your name.

Bilal.

Bilal Malik

Hello, Sharmeen?

Mahi! You idiot, where are you?

Are you alone?

Nobody's around you right?

Yeah, yeah, I'm alone.

But where are you?

Forget that!

You remember where the bag is, right?

Yeah. Should I bring it?

Yes. And call Yasmeen in Islamabad.

Tell her I'm coming. Okay?

Mahi, move abroad!

I'll come to you then.

- Yeah, I'll have a suitor ready for you.

- Yeah!

Go to the train station

as soon as possible. Idiot!

What do we do now?

Where are you going?

- Not to the train station with you.

- What do you mean you're not?

- You made me escape my wedding and--

- One second!

I made you escape? Or did you?

It's the same thing.

It's the same thing?

Please forgive me!

Stop following me!

- Should I stay here all night on my own?

- Stay wherever you want!

What sort of man are you?

- You're gonna leave a woman stranded here?

- Yes!

Stop! Stop!

You're not as dumb as you look.

- You're not jumping, right?

- I don't know. I get very emotional.

I must have done something wrong

in my life. God, please forgive me!

Listen, I'm waiting here.

Hurry up so that I can plan accordingly.

Okay, give me some time to think.

At least get off from there.

No way.

First, promise me that

you won't abandon me here.

Yes, I promise!

Hmm. Okay.

They are coming! Quickly! Come here!

Hide. Quickly!

Thank God! They've gone.

So, it's a deal?

Shall we go?

First, call up your family

and tell them that

you and I have no connection whatsoever,

and then we'll go.

Go where?

I'll call a friend to pick us up.

Why don't you call your friend first?

Make the call!

Can I text them?

Where do you wanna go?

- Your house.

- Okay.

What?

Why did you stop the car?

Please excuse us!

Can you step outside for a bit?

Are you mad? We're not going to my house!

What about your farm house?

It's the weekend.

Mum and Dad can show up at any time.

Just tell them not to go there.

I can't do that.

Just for a while.

I really have to go.

So, can you guys hurry up

and finish your discussion?

There's still time before

we have to be at the station.

- I have to go to the bathroom!

- Here? On the sidewalk?

Yeah, it's gonna be a bit hard.

My place is five minutes away.

Can you hold it till then?

I can. But can we go now, please?

Can I get some clothes?

I can't go anywhere dressed like this.

Anything will be fine.

Give me a boy's tee shirt.

So, what's the story?

I'm asking about that girl of yours.

She left me.

She left you for somebody else

and you came to crash her wedding?

I only went to talk.

I thought she might change her mind.

Poor chap. Seems like a hopeless romantic.

Can you come here?

I need you to take these pins out.

How do I do this?

Don't you know anything?

Look, there are so many pins here.

Who did you run away for?

For myself.

Who runs away for themselves?

Ouch! Do you need to run away

for someone else?

Why can't I just not want to get married?

I have many plans for my life

and I'll do whatever I want.

- Did it hurt?

- No, it's fine.

Yeah. And rubbing it

isn't going to make it better.

But why today?

Why didn't you run away before?

Because of you.

I think I can manage the rest on my own.

I know how to get changed, Bilal.

Hey, does Hassan have a sister?

No. Why?

Okay, tell him to give me

his mum's shalwar.

Hurry up.

What was going on?

Nothing.

Something's going on.

What happened? It didn't work out?

No, dude. Actually...

I need something.

What?

Dude, um...

It's okay. I understand.

I must say she's really pretty, though.

Behave yourself, dude.

She's a good girl.

You've just met her and

you already know her that well?

Anyway, what you need is in the drawer.

- I'm not asking for that!

- You haven't brought it yet?

What?

Didn't Bilal tell you?

- Why are you standing there? Go get it.

- Um...

Too shy to ask?

He's super shy!

I've already told him where it is.

- Hurry up! We don't have much time.
