DUKHTAR:
One day, I'll have
a house like this.
-A sweet little house.
-Yes. A sweet little house.
But you'll have to wait for it.
Why?
You get a house
only after marriage.
-You have to be married to have a house?
-Of course.
Why?
You know after marriage
you also have kids.
How?
You're still young.
I can't tell you that.
Please. I'm your best friend.
Promise?
-I swear.
-Don't tell anyone.
When a girl looks at a boy,
and the boy looks back at the girl,
a baby begins to grow inside her.
-Just by looking?
-Yes. Just by looking.
It happened to my sister.
Right after her marriage she told me.
-Seriously?
-Yeah.
This is why your father
won't let you out of the house.
-It's our secret.
-Okay.
We have to find a solution
to this?Tor Gul' problem.
You're right, we
should find a solution,
but you will have to come back.
You are the head of our tribe.
These matters can't
be solved without you.
I wish I had better news for you.
But there is a huge security problem,
everything and everyone is searched.
I barely made it here.
Somehow, this fire of revenge
has to be extinguished.
-Salaam, Uncle Shehbaz.
-Zainab, my child, how are you?
I'm fine.
Did you bring something for me?
-A doll, just like you.
-Thank you!
Zainab, go. Go inside the house.
She's a kid. Let her be happy.
What we will learn today?
Today we'll learn
the words?put' and?but.'
Open your copy.
-Did you check the previous work?
-It was excellent.
I gave you a star.
Even your writing was good.
Write?P' here.
Good. Just make it longer.
Now the other word is?but.' Write?B.'
?B' is the one with two bellies, right?
Exactly. Now write?U.'
-Like this?
-Right.
Now write?T.' Good.
So this is?but.'
-Like this?but.'
-No, no.
The teacher explained it,
but I don't remember now what it means.
-It is simply?but'...
-You don't know what it means?
-So what did you learn in class?
-I will ask my teacher tomorrow.
You don't know the meaning
and you're teaching me.
Now what was that?
Do it slowly.
It's not?putt,' it's?put.'
But you just told me...
-No, it was for the other one.
-Is it not the same?
-No.
-This is the same one, look!
?But.'
This is confusing!
Listen, it's time for my TV drama.
Let's watch that first.
Alright, but promise one thing.
We will come back
to complete this.
-Not this, something else.
-No, the same one!
Or else I will scold
you like my teacher.
-Very well done.
-It's all good now.
Go.
Get lost!
Hurry up.
How are you, Ghorzang Khan?
Alright.
Remove his blindfold.
Go.
Peace be with you, Daulat Khan.
And also with you.
Have a seat.
-You didn't have a problem coming here?
-No, not at all.
I meant they didn't
inconvenience you, did they?
Today I came to meet
you for one reason.
The revenge between
us has killed my sons.
Time has come
to find a solution.
Daulat Khan...
seven of your men got killed.
And in return...
ten of my men got killed.
You know very well,
we take an eye for an eye.
It is a matter of honor.
With all due respect,
with these hands, I have bathed
the dead bodies of my four sons.
And with these same hands,
I buried all four of them.
Today, three more of your men died.
Tomorrow, five more of ours will die.
This revenge will not stop for centuries!
Yesterday, we were friends.
Today, we are enemies.
Daulat Khan...
nowadays,
it's hard to tell friends from enemies.
In our region,
we have plenty of useless leaders
and politicians!
But things are about to change
with me in power.
Daulat Khan,
the mother of all wars
is about to happen.
Those with us
will rule with us.
To end this vengeance...
there is one way.
What is it?
An alliance between our tribes.
An alliance built upon
the bond of marriage.
That will be a
great honor for us,
but whose marriage?
For this alliance...
we need your daughter's
hand in marriage.
My daughter...
But for whom?
For myself.
She is just a child.
Not yet of age!
Daulat Khan...
this is a decision between us men.
You decide now,
and this Friday we
can have the marriage.
Allah Rakhi.
Allah Rakhi?
Do you remember the first time
I saw you? At your father's place?
You were on the rooftop
trying to catch a kite
and you were running after it.
You almost fell from the roof.
If your father hadn't promised you
to Daulat Khan,
I swear to God
I would have asked
for your hand in marriage.
Shehbaz Khan!
You have no idea
how difficult it has been...
-to see you as another man's wife.
-Shehbaz Khan, I'm a married woman.
I know.
And I also know how
unhappy you are.
While Daulat Khan is alive,
I will do nothing.
But if one day
you become a widow,
I will make you mine, honorably.
We are going back
to our tribal lands.
What did Tor Gul say?
I have given my word.
Tor Gul's maulvi will come
to solemnize Zainab's marriage...
with Tor Gul.
And one more thing.
This news stays here only.
No one else should know about this.
Ma, what is this?
This is from my wedding night.
What is this spot?
Blood.
Whose blood?
Mine.
Your grandmother's.
Her grandmother's.
Did you hurt yourself badly?
Zaibu,
now you are grown up.
I have to explain some things to you.
Things my mother
never explained to me.
Listen, my love,
when a girl gets married,
she has to...
I already know
this grown-up stuff.
What do you know?
Who told you?
It's a secret. I can't tell you.
Won't you tell me your secret?
I promised not to.
But I won't tell anyone.
Tell me, Na.
Promise?
Ma,
will my wedding dress be like this?
Peace be with you.
And you too, Ghorzang Khan.
-All's well?
-Have a seat.
Please.
Hello.
Daulat Khan.
Ma, my prince is here!
Today our friendship
has turned into kinship.
And this is stronger
than any blood kinship.
The prince for my
princess lives far away
on a really beautiful mountain top.
Give Ghorzang the
best piece of meat.
Do you want something?
Excuse me.
Need something?
Eat, my friend.
Why are you staring?
Eat your food.
Are you guys having some?
-My friend, all good?
-Yes.
Alright.
Mama?
Can I touch the rainbow?
What?
Rainbow.
That thing in the sky like this.
Blue, yellow, green, red and violet.
The fairy's swing?
-The fairy's swing?
-We used to call it that.
Well, I'm also a fairy.
I can sit on it.
No, sweetheart,
no one can sit on it.
It is an illusion.
An illusion? What is that?
An illusion is something which
can be seen, but is not really there.
Allah Rakhi. Open the door.
Zainab, Allah Rakhi!
Open the door!
Well, I'm also a fairy.
I can sit on it.
No, sweetheart, no one can sit on it.
It is an illusion.
Alright, but promise me that we will
come back and complete this work.
-Not this one. Something else.
-No, we have to complete this.
Otherwise we'll never learn.
Or else I'll scold you like my teacher.
?Put' and?but,' right?
-Very well done.
-It's all good now.
Ghorzang!
Daulat Khan.
You have ruined our honor!
