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!

It's my honor. I know what to do about it.

-Who are you to tell me?

-I will find her.

And you know how we deal

with an insult to our honor.

Don't you dare say another word!

She was yours.

Now she is ours.

So he'll teach me what honor is!

-Shehbaz Khan!

-Yes, Brother.

Go, find them before they do!

Sit down.

Allah Rakhi?

Zainab?

No one's here.

Come with us. You know the way here.

Alright, let's go.

Hey!

Emptied the tea

packet in this one cup?

-Where are you coming from?

-From Karachi.

-Long route!

-Yeah, very long.

-That road after Sukkur must be still bad.

-It's terrible.

-What were you driving?

-A Mazda truck.

Check every corner of this place!

Quick, come here!

Here! Hurry up!

Check the jeep as well.

Quickly!

Don't move.

They can't be far.

Check under this!

Search thoroughly.

They must be here somewhere.

She was here.

Let's go!

My queen. Don't do this.

What the hell! Who's there?

Who's there?

Son of a...

It's not your father's

property! Get down!

Come on!

Very nice. Had some fun? Get off!

Just leave us here.

We won't say a word.
