Shafeeqa, Let's see a doctor
It's been too long.
I don't feel much pain now.
But something might be wrong.
It's just another pain.
What happened? Dropped something!?
The lid has come off again.
Don't ask me to repair it again.
But it can be used again.
But let's not fix it.
Get a new one.
You will?
If I won't perhaps you may have a secret admirer who may...
What?
Let's get it cleaned up.
We might get cut.
Let it be... not now...
In the morning.
Bakuru...!
Look how he's deteriorating.
Since his mother's death, hardly does he eat.
Hardly does he talk,
How can he study?
Let's fulfill Ashiya's wish and send him to the boarding.
Haroon! You got to be kidding.
Right now boarding is not a solution for him.
This is a bad time for him. Nothing good will come out of it.
Right now he is very unstable.
No mother, no father.
What could I do?
I'm running out of choices.
You still have one option.
Take him to his father.
If I do that, I'd be breaking Ashiya's trust and will.
Hello... this is Zahid.
Bakuru...!?
I... don't know him.
From Maradhoo island? No I don't know!
No, I can't meet him right now.
Arusha! Where's the person who came to see me just now?
Yeah, Bakuru... bring him over.
Bakurube!
It's been a long time.
How are you Bakurube? What brings you here?
We must have a long chat. Come..!
Arusha, bring some refreshments.
How can you be sure Anil's my son?
After you left, no other man came into Ashiya's life.
Why tell me now? Why after all this time?
I tried..!
But Ashiya forbade me.
She was afraid it might break up your own family.
Whether you accept it or not, Anil's your son.
I came here today because there's nothing more I could do for him.
Ever since Ashiya's death, his condition has been deteriorating...
Why don't you keep him until schools re-open?
I will come to fetch him when the boarding opens.
Bakurube, how can I face this?
This is going to... change everything.
Zahid, I'm not bringing Anil here to crash in on your life.
Ashiya insisted I take him to the boarding.
Do anything to keep Anil away from you.
Now I am too old and frail.
I have nothing, no way to feed him
clothe him and send him to school.
Even if I die today, he's got no one to look after him.
This is something Ashiya asked me to deliver to you when Anil grew up.
Let me know your decision soon.
My boat leaves at midnight.
This is terrible. I couldn't leave today.
How about a sea transfer?
No...! Sea transfer is not an option.
I'll wait till the flights resumes.
But it might take a week or so.
The earliest it might be atleast another 2-3 days.
I'll have to contact Male' before I can make a decision.
I tried to finish all the work before I leave.
Yet few things are still pending.
Then you're never at loss for not leave today!
I mean errr..! Let's go call Male'
Hello! I'm ok.
Might take another week.
I said it might take another week or so.
Call Afeef... he will arrange everything.
Afeef will arrange everything.
Anything else?
Yes... me too... very much
How's things at home?
Everything seems to be fine.
Afeef will take care of everything.
Bakurube...! Aren't you coming?
Never mind... you are going to the motel.
I will hitch a ride to home.
I'll try to meet you before you leave.
Can I stay in Maradhoo?
Staying here for 3-4 days is not easy. I don't know anybody here.
There are no day rooms.
Well, if I could just get a place to stay...
it'd be easier for me to stay and complete the work.
I do have a room but.. I'm not sure you will like it.
But..!
Why..!? Any problem?
I am not sure you'd!
Have a shower?
Yes. The well has water.
Got a bed?
Yes!
Got food?
As good as any other neighbors!
So? It'll do.
Driver, to Maradhoo Island.
Bakurube, get in.
Zahid...? Don't seems you like the place?
Why not?
Won't you get off?
Ashiya...!
Daughter...! Please prepare the room.
Give me a minute.
My child, it won't be too inconvenient, right?
Make it soon, ok...?
Zahid, it might take a while.
There's a cafe nearby. Let's have some snacks till then.
Oh! Your bag...
Ashiya...! Please come!
How do you find the place?
Looks ok!
Keep this!
Let's go!
You seem fluent in Male' dialect. Did you spend a long time there?
I was there for three years.
But I've been here much longer 20 years.
You're not from Addu atoll?
I'm from Male' atoll Maafushi island.
Daughter, room is all set?
That's your daughter?
No..! She is my stepdaughter. But she's just like a daughter.
Her mother was from Maafushi island, too.
You've settled here... so far from home! Why?
That's a long story. I was very close to Ashiya's mother.
But our families were against us marrying.
Mohamed Zuhair, a wealthy businessman from Maradhoo,
eventually married Ashiya's mother and settled here.
Ashiya was born exactly on their 1st anniversary.
Unfortunately, soon after that Zuhair died quite suddenly.
Zuhair's family is deeply involved in his business.
In no time, they took over everything.
Ashiya's mother was able to claim only a half-completed boat and the house we live.
When I came here Zuhair's relatives had started their own businesses.
When I married Ashiya's mother, Our families in Maafushi disowned us both.
Today Ashiya is a trained teacher from Male'.
If only her mother was here... she would have been very happy.
When did Ashiya's mother passed away?
Around two years ago.
Here comes our boat.
Just a moment
Hello!
Honey..! What's up!
You didn't show up for lunch!
I've been way too busy.
Day and night... You're always too busy... dear...
Hello?
Zahid?
Say something.
Shafeeqa... I'm really busy.
I thought you had dozed off.
You were up so late last night.
I'll call later.
I am 18.
I've accomplished nothing.
I dream whimsical dreams but they remain a fantasy.
Distress follows every moment of happiness.
It all proves, human life depends everything on fate... destiny.
My life began with the death of my father.
After overcoming life's several rough edges.
Today I begin this journey to fulfill my dreams.
When I left home to become a teacher, I felt my mother's high hopes.
She had prayed for me.
Alas! All my success are bound to be marked with utter sadness.
When my mother bid adieu to me, wish I knew it would be our last moment together.
Mother's passing left a void, I was in dire need of emotional support.
Male' is a mysterious city for a naive girl like me.
I'm not sure whom to trust and whom not to.
But sooner or later, I'd have to!
Watch where you're going!
I was terrified today.
My whole life took on a fresh turn.
I was so frozen. I forgot to even thank him.
At least, if only I had asked him his name.
I'm indebted to him. I owe him.
But how can I return the favor?
My thoughts, my emotions now revolve around him.
Some deep emotion, which hitherto was not there, has surfaced.
I'm longing to meet him. Be with him.
He gushed into my life, sweeping me off my feet like the cool wind.
Can I sip some water?
Ah!
Still scared!?
This is a picnic island.
There's no truck to run you down.
Oops! I drunk it all.
It's OK.
I'm sorry!
For what?!
I didn't get to thank you that day.
You were too frightened then.
I forgot to even ask your name.
You were in shock, Ashiya.
Surprised I know your name?
You had left your hanky.
Hey, I was wondering where I left it.
If I knew you'd be here today, I'd have brought it.
Hey, Fai! We're heading to the jetty.
I'll join shortly.
Fai?
Fairooz! Mohamed Fairooz.
Call me "Fai".
When I met Fairooz today, it rekindled my dying hopes.
I wish I could stay with him for all time.
You're late.
A bit late, eh.
Ashiya!
Ashiya! Ashiya!
Yes, aunty?
How many times do I have to tell you not to stay outside?
Stay inside. I don't want neighbors gossiping.
Get inside!
Let's go in!
She said so.
Last few days I've spent time with Fairooz to my heart's content.
We are beginning to know each other.
Fairooz's empathy has revived my sense of security and self-confidence.
He has opened to me a new world, a world where only happiness reigned.
All my sorrows have wilted away.
Spring flowers have begun to bloom.
All my hopes, my dreams, my future is now with Fairooz.
His empathy has won over my heart, my trust.
If only I could spend a lifetime with him.
I'm going on a picnic on Thursday. Will return Friday.
On Thursday? Where? Destination unknown yet!
Perhaps a resort.
Who else is going?
All my buddies and their girls.
You guys go ahead. Enjoy as if I'm there with you.
What! Aren't you coming?!
You perfectly well know that I won't be allowed to go for a sleepover.
What's wrong! It won't disrupt your studies.
You don't understand. My guardian just won't let me.
What crap! You're a paying guest there. On top of that you do all the house chores.
So! My guardian is still aunty.
Please. Just this once. For my sake.
I told them I'd come because I thought you'd be coming, too.
But..! Still..!
You want to come?
I'd like to...
OK, just this one time then.
Only this one time, OK? You'd come, right?
Love you.
Fairooz is an invaluable gift bestowed on me.
His love, his care is the most precious shelter I've ever got in all my life.
To joined the trip I wronged my guardian. I couldn't bring myself to say 'no' to Fairooz.
Nahula!
Where're the others?
No idea.
Help me, will you.
You're upset? We all should be enjoying.
That Nahula! Just throwing her self!
Now, come on, it was just harmless fun.
You shouldn't take it so seriously. You call it harmless?
What about when you were playing dodge ball, not to mention the frolicking in the sea!
I'm sorry.
OK?
Answer the phone.
Hello! Yeah! Fai here.
What happened?
You haven't started BBQ?
You guys can start. We might be a bit late.
I have to seriously re-think my life.
What am I doing? I'm in shock.
I'm upset and worried.
He has crossed limits.
Nevertheless, I love him.
Aunty!
Go somewhere else to live your sinful ways!
You dare to deceive me?
I'm the one who has to be responsible for your mess.
Aunty! Please Aunty!
I am done with you.
Please don't...
What do you think?
500 Rufiyaa you are paying isn't worth the trouble.
Go on, cry all you want. I just don't care!
I don't know what tomorrow is going to bring.
I can't take all this...
My life has been enveloped in sheer darkness.
Dark clouds started brewing over my life's horizons.
I committed a sin. A grave sin.
My final exams are near.
My whole future may depend on it.
My sole hope now is Fairooz.
I am now all alone, except for him.
You're lucky Fairooz
This morning it was vacated.
The water pump is broken.
I'll get you some water for tonight.
I'll fix it tomorrow.
How much should I pay?
How about 1200 per month?
That includes food?
Yes, with food.
She'll be staying until the end of her exams.
Perhaps a month, right, Ashiya?
Check in the amount.
Is it OK?
You're still worried?
Everything's is settlled now.
Hey! Smile now.
Fairooz is spending for me, taking care of me.
He's helping me in every way he can.
Fairooz is the closest friend I have.
Bad timing, eh?
Ashiya, this is Amjad.
A close friend.
Amjad, this is Ashiya.
I didn't see you at the picnic.
I just returned from Singapore last night.
Oh yeah! Amjad wasn't in town.
No, don't bother.
We just had dinner.
Your exam commences tomorrow.
You shouldn't be bothering about us.
Amjad, take a seat.
Won't we be disrupting your studies?
No, it's fine with me.
Got a cigarette? I'm not carrying one.
I don't buy, I just borrow.
I need it now.
OK..! I'll go buy some.
Shall I come?
No..! You stay back. I'll bring.
Can I have some water?
Nice poster!
You like it?
Oops! Sorry..! Here, let me...
You shameless imposter!
What's all the commotion?
Amjey, you already started!
Fairooz! What kind of monster have you brought here?
Look how he shamelessly tried to molest me...!
Fairooz...! Are you listening?
What's happening here?
I'm spending a lot on you. And what do I get in return?
What're you talking about?
What I spend, I should be getting it back!
Fairooz, tell me it's not true.
Please, this is not you.
You talking to me!?
Don't do this to me, please. Help me!
Fairooz saved me from the brink of death.
Gave me a new reason to live.
Only to bury me alive in a different kind of existence.
He has denounced everything I gave him. My trust, my love, my confidence.
I struggled against Amjad's sadistic advances.
It was a moment of sheer terror.
Somehow I managed to escape Amjad's clutches.
I escaped with my whole life in shreds.
My innocence lost forever.
I wrote my exams. Achieved results I had strived for.
Despite the torture I had to endure exam result was bittersweet success.
I went back home with my life in tatters.
But not before I had made some hard resolutions.
Hereafter, my emotions remain restrained will not be shared.
The pleasures I indulge in will be for me, myself alone to share.
Give and take, a human norm. involving two sides.
I've imposed on my life a one-sided rule.
Hello! No, you are calling wrong number.
This is not the Maafannu cemetery.
Arusha.
Who's else is in the office?
Everyone's gone home?
Before you leave see to the documents, OK?
And please take back the Coke.
New resolutions brought some serenity back to my shattered life.
Spending time with my students brought me love and happiness.
Somewhat eclipsing the bitter past, I found composure and calmness to my life.
Ever since I returned back, some propositions has come to me.
But the horrific ordeal I went through does not allow me to accept a man in my life?
Men I rejected has labelled me as stubborn, fiery & arrogant.
They sullied me with slander.
But, I have moulded my life to shield such vile acts.
They are the one's who have got to change on my terms.
Why don't you bring that along?
Let it be. Why don't you ride until then?
You can come to fetch me in the evening.
I'm too old to be riding mobikes!
Ashiya, can you look after so many children at the same time?
Some of the senior students are also coming with us.
Why don't you take Zahid along?
You must see the most beautiful uninhabited island in this atoll.
Get on now. Kids are on board.
I'll be back by dusk.
OK..!
Zahid had been following all my actions and taking my photos non-stop, even on the boat.
Whatever he had in mind, it left me unsettled.
I had half a mind to give a piece of my mind to him.
Then again, he was my father's guest.
Aunty!
I'm off to take a dip.
Don't go too deep!
Go and play with the children instead of taking my photos!
Neena come!
Be careful!
Yes...
Ashiya, I didn't mean any harm in taking your photos.
I've nothing to say.
Believe it or not.
I don't want to take any advantage of you.
I'm sorry if I caused you distress.
I don't want anybody to hate me.
Aunty!
Aunty! Fathah is drowning!
My child!
Aunty! Fathah... is drowning.
Aunty! Faster!
Fathah!
Ashiya!
Ashiya!
Ashiya!
Ashiya..! Calm down. He's been treated now.
He'll be Ok.
What's gotten into you? Leave me alone.
Zahid has been my father's guest for three day.
I didn't let any opportunity arise... that would force me to interact with him.
Today, for the first time, I had to break my fortress to talk to him...
But, I was too harsh on him, to justify my principles.
If not for Zahid, Fathah would have lost his life.
I'd have to take the responsibility for the death of a student.
I have to admit that I had not been levelheaded to hate all men.
There are some quite compassionate... like Zahid.
Sucked a lot of blood.
If only there are vegetarian mosquitoes.
I had to bear mosquito bites last two nights as well.
I know.
Why bring it now?
I am just doing my duty.
You mean!
I mean!
You shouldn't leave things half-baked.
I might take the wrong meaning otherwise.
My rude behavior... towards you.
I'm sorry.
It is nothing!
Some people can react in quite unorthodox ways in situations.
If it wasn't for you today.
I thank you. I mean it.
I didn't do it for you. Or anybody else from this island.
I don't believe as that!
It was a humanitarian act.
For that reason, nobody owes me any gratitude.
It includes you or the boy too.
But I'm happy to see facets of a kindhearted woman in you.
One more thing. Thank you for the mosquito coil.
Don't thank me for that. You're our guest after all.
Who professed love?
Who made the promises?
This umbrella is utterly worthless!
I told you so.
You're soaked, father. Your flu will get worse.
I had no choice.
The shower struck just as we dropped in to Zubair's place after Isha prayers.
It's almost 9:30 now. I drowsed off while waiting for you.
You haven't had dinner?
I was waiting just in case you might be back.
Zubair offered dinner when it was getting late.
You had dinner there?
I told you so...
Don't worry, Ashiya. I'm all for a second dinner.
Young people like you will never get full. I guess you need all the energy.
Father, you sure you won't eat even a little?
No...! And I feel my head is bit heavy.
I better go get some sleep.
Zahid, if you want anything, just ask her.
Don't turn it off. What a nice song that was.
Oh, the song is over.
Want Milo?
No, just plain tea.
Hey, this is a great song, too. Have you listened to it?
No..! Never heard...
Where is that flowers boca?
Over there...
Where?
Right next to radio set.
Oh! Yeah...!
Should I drown in my hopes?
I'm dazed and confused. I'm tired of being in love.
This is love's complaint.
Because there's darkness in my life.
I want to be with you.
I want to see you.
In here in my heart
Unsure of myself.
The pain makes me cry
The pain you inflict on me
Your memories revive that pain
Please come, my sweetheart You're my love
Let me take you in my arms, my velvet queen
Tell me you approve me Otherwise I'll die
My heart craves
For your love
Careful. It's hot.
I wasn't thoughtful enough
I prefer warm drinks for cold nights.
You might burn your mouth.
So!
You can't taste things right.
You're soaked. Let's get you changed.
You might catch a cold.
Could be... The last time I got drenched...
That's enough. You better change your wet clothes.
Here, let me. I'll get it ironed tomorrow.
Don't worry, I won't ruin it.
Zahid is so down to earth man.
He is like an open book.
Sincerity and honesty are definitely his marked characteristics.
After this long, I'm finally seeing the kind of character that I would like in a man,
and I'm feeling a kind of elation.
I want to find happiness from him.
Time is short.
He may leave anytime...
These cravings might not have any foundation.
But, I want to feel completed... I want to feel like a woman again...
These are my feelings... feelings of my own...
Whatever perspective Zahid might have,
I will interpret it according to the desire of my heart.
Things are moving too fast.
Everything has changed within a day.
But, I won't place any false hopes in him.
I only need... Just a moment of pure bliss...
Errr... your shirt.
Want to keep it?
No..! Is it expensive?
Yes...! It is..!
I wore it for my wedding.
So it has great sentimental value.
Hey...! Why worry..? Any problem..?
Something awful happened.
What?
What's so funny?
It's not my wedding shirt.
You unnerved me.
You're the face that surprises me by...
The face that aches this heart of mine...
Your nearness, your love, your happiness is that which I seek
You are that which the stars seek They shine their light
Don't let this heart cry With my love please empathize
Laughing, we may wake To find the wrong turns it might take
I'll give my heart I'll give my love
I place my trust in you
I'll reveal all that is close and near
With my eyes closed and here with you
I'll reveal all that is close and near
With my eyes closed and here with you
I'll give my heart, I'll give my love
I place my trust in you
You have enslaved my heart
The wind seems to say Dare to stay?
I've given you my heart The sky and the earth my witness
Look at me, smile at me Please help me
Did I startle your heart with my touch?
When I cry I hide my tears
This is the moment we longed for...
I crave for your love as I'm taken with it...
Does my soft caress... make you laugh?
Make you close your eyes? Soothes you?
My heart is crying tears of joy caress me...
I seek the warmth of your hands
To fulfill my desire tonight
I will never forget this quiet midnight this beautiful moment
I will never forget this quiet midnight this beautiful moment
I'll give my heart I'll give my love
I place my trust in you
I'll stay the night in your arms
Will we come to harm? For sharing the pleasures this night
The moon observes us from afar Shying away...
I'll give my heart I'll give my love
I place my trust in you
I'll give my heart I'll give my love
I place my trust in you
I'll give my heart I'll give my love
I'll give my heart I'll give my love
I'll give my heart I'll give my love
February 14 Valentine's Day 1988.
It never happened to me before.
This time finally I've felt love, too.
Today the whole ambience has changed. Seems for my sake.
Zahid made me feel like a woman, a complete woman.
This is not right. It's wrong.
You're not to blame. You didn't do anything...
I wanted it. I asked for it.
You don't understand... you are taking it wrong...
Its... its... Sssh..!
Today, I feel euphoric after a long time.
I feel exhilarated and full.
All the bitterness has left.
A short blissful moment...
I wish that time had stood still...
What are you thinking?
I sense and feel the simple pleasures...
that life could bring... the happiness
Sense of happiness..!
You're living a fantasy.
True sense of happiness is best realized...
only when you have it and then lose it.
Be back.
You're right, Zahid.
We do not know what we have got until we lose it.
This is...
I know..! She's beautiful... and lovely.
Hey, what if somebody sees!
What's to worry about?
This is such a sleepy town.
Don't you dare!
An onlooker may see us!
Our relationship blooms,
Father saw everything.
But he said nothing.
It was time for Zahid's departure...
my heart beats crazily fast.
But, there is now no sense of sadness within me.
Zahid was right! I have realized the true sense of happiness.
The first pangs of loneliness engulfed me, just days after he left from my life.
I received a second letter from him 15 days after his departure.
Ashiya...
Soon I'll be entering fatherhood.
I place all my hopes in my child.
The long wait is over. I am so full of happiness.
I am a happy man.
So far I haven't heard from you...
This is my second letter.
It may be the last.
I am moving abroad in 4 months.
It's for a long time.
Should you choose not to reply to me...
You will always be my special friend.
My warm regards to Bakurube.
Yours, Zahid...
Assalaam Alaikum!
Where are you trying to calling?
This is not Maafannu Cemetery...!
Check the number!
No! This is not a funeral home!
We are not in funeral service..!
Mister! This is not a cemetery.
Arusha, have you finished the documents?
Yes.
Now it is very late.
I'll check it myself, later. And you can leave now.
And one more thing, apply to change my phone number.
Get one that dosen't match Maafannu cemetery.
Zahid was a temporary guest in my life.
And he left... hmm!
I gradually felt the changes to my body.
Things I didn't feel before now came to pass.
And things that I went through before, failed to come to pass.
I wasn't the only one who noticed. In the end, father...
Finally..!
You must inform Zahid.
No, father! That would be wrong.
His wife is going to give birth shortly.
I can't ruin his life.
But my child! You're the one who is suffering.
No, father!
This is a trust.
I'll honor this trust with my life, all my life!
Will it go away this stain on my life?
Will it go away this stain on my life?
He is a witness to the moment we shared.
The pain that it revives...
Will it go away this stain on my life?
He is a witness to the moment we shared.
The pain that it revives...
Should I waste my energy crying because I don't have the patience
I don't want to turn my back on my obligations
Choose the right path
With my redemption I need to turn over a new chapter
A long journey ahead to honor this trust
Give me love as if you're near a love that tastes sweet like honey
I wish from you, my child realize my will and morals
To be happy
Your loyalty... unconditionally...
To make your father happy Only then can you cherish the moment
This child is my trust
He is a witness to the moment we shared
Anil is now nine years old.
Despite the absence of a father
I tried my best to make him feel everything was alright.
From all the gossip and idle talk circulating in the community,
he now apparently knows about his illegitimacy.
But... Never once he asked...
who his father is or where he was from.
Nor did he ever ask how his father looked like.
Anil was Zahid in all glory...
his actions and subtle reactions... confirmed that he is the son of his father.
Apart from attending school, Anil enjoys playing football.
As the first signs of my illness surfaced,
Anil grew worried and lost interest in football
Where is mother?
Praying...
Father, how was the catch today?
Not too good. But...
How come?
I think they are cheating us.
I think we should get back the boat from them.
Can we afford to do that?
There's not many fishermen left around now.
Who would run the boat then?
You're right...
Can't catch fish from a boat that's harbored.
The only problem is... I'm too frail to go fishing now.
Mom, I'm hungry. I'll get it.
Have you answered to the one who's offering to buy the boat?
Yes, I've told them I won't sell it.
Why?
They gave us a good bargain.
That's only a short-term profit.
We have to think long-term.
What if I die tomorrow?
Who's going to look after you, my dears?
Have this...!
The medicines aren't working.
That's the saddest part, right, son?
You'll be fine, mom, God-willing.
You're going to be just fine. Your son is right..
I'm not used to showing my grief.
Today... for the first time Anil saw me crying.
I realized how deeply he was affected.
Mom!
Scared? Come over.
Thunder's too loud tonight, huh?
Mom..!
Promise me you'll never leave me.
Where would I go?
Mom... why are you so depressed?
What're you talking about?
Please tell me why you grieve.
There's both happiness and sadness in everything.
So, I am no exception.
But I've never seen you crying before.
Grief can be quite painful, son.
But when I cry, I don't show it, do I?
If I show my grief, you'll be unhappy, right?
You might even get ill like me.
It's getting difficult to hide my emotions.
Our free living makes Anil sees through things.
Anil is maturing too soon for his age.
I am his mother... he is my driving force.
He has also become my closest friend.
The pain is becoming unbearable day by day.
I feel my life gradually ebbing away.
My only hope is Anil.
But everywhere seems to be darkness.
However high my hopes are...
I feel that I'm losing my hold on Anil's destiny.
I realized that time is running out.
My time is up. I know it.
Don't say such things.
We'll go to Male' and get the proper treatment.
I can't make it.
What about Anil's schooling?
Father, promise me... you'll always be there for Anil.
Promise me.. you'll never ask for help from Zahid.
Send Anil to the boarding instead.
Mom... you're not getting any better.
I'm going to be fine. God-willing.
Anil..! Anil...!
Anil..!
Headmaster asked why you didn't show up for the game.
Anil...!?
You had a match today?
The school tournament started today but Anil didn't show up.
Why didn't you tell me, son?
Headmaster said Anil has to come tomorrow morning.
Anil will play in every match.
We're off.
Son... come here.
Why didn't you tell me you had a match?
Mom, how can I? You're so…so weak.
But your teammates will be disappointed.
I'm disappointed, too.
They will blame me...
You must go. Keep your kit ready.
My condition is causing Anil to lose interest in his studies
and his extracurricular activities.
Anil...! Zahid...!?
Mom! Faster!
Mom..! Run fast..!
Mom! Faster!
Ashiya...!
Zahid..! Anil...!
Ashiyaa...! Mom...!
Son...! Mom...!
Ashiya...! Mom...! Ashiyaaaa.!
Mom..! Mom... Faster..!
Ashiyaaa...!
Mom..! Zahid..! Mom..!
Zahid..!?
Son...!
Anil...! Anil...!
Son...! Mom...!
Anil..!
Son..!
Mom..! Faster...! Run fast...!
Mom..!
It's one o'clock in the morning.
The nightmare has cast a dark shadow over me.
All my worries are about to come out in the open.
I so want to tell Anil who his father is.
But how can I tell him? I can't find the words.
You're working? The cook will be here.
Son, you got to win today.
We win everyday, grandpa.
Mom... what I can do to make you happy?
I'll be happy the day you graduate and start helping your father.
Do you love him, mom?
Yes... Very much.
But he doesn't love you, does he?
Why doesn't he come to see you even when you're so unwell?
He doesn't know we both are alive.
I have you, mom. I don't want him.
My love, my feelings for Zahid are for me alone...
I keep those feelings within myself...
But for the first time, I've expressed my feelings.
Anil may not have much feelings for his father.
If ever my life ceased... he would surely miss the love of a father.
Fearing what future holds for Anil, make my worries increased.
Today I've revealed my will to Anil.
It is for the best interests of
everyone involved.
He is not to hope or ask
for any help from his father.
I've reasoned with Anil that he has no legal father.
But I made him promise to protect
and respect his father.
Anil accepted my last wishes.
But still he didn't ask who his father is.
I told Anil all that I felt that he had to know.
Though I may never get well again,
tonight I nevertheless felt a kind of inexplicable relief.
Perhaps these are the last words I'll ever write.
My limbs feel numb.
However unbearable the suffering is,
I feel that Zahid's love for me overwhelmed everything else.
I'll give my heart, my love... I put my trust in you...
Zahid..!
I was waiting for you.
Hello!
Dad here.
What happened? No, I'm fine.
Where's mom?
Tell mom not to be angry.
Tell her I'll be back soon.
Yeah..! Now on the way.
Bakurube...
You can bring Anil here.
But...
don't tell him I'm his father.
Zahid..!
Do you like it?
Finally you bought it!
I wanted this badly, though you didn't want...
Zahid..!
You said you had something to tell me?
What?
You told me earlier...
Oh that? Yes..
What's the matter? Is it too critical?
Nothing that's really...
No...! it's something important.
Zahid... stop mumbling. Tell me what it is.
I'm afraid you might be taken aback.
I should be happy or not.. You got to tell me first.
Do you remember... once... I went to Addu atoll?
Oh! Then I was expecting Nilfa, right?
Today I met somebody from Addu who helped me a lot during my visit there.
He asked me to let a boy of his to stay here for a few days.
I couldn't bring myself to say 'no. '
That's the big deal!?
You've no problems with it?
How can I ever say 'no' to you?
Are you Zahid?
There is the boy Bakurube sent.
After last Malé trip, Bakurube is ailing.
His condition is deteriorating too fast.
Anil...
This is Zahid, grandpa told you about.
Come in.
Come over here. Keep your slippers here.
I'll call Aunty Shafeeqa. Make yourself at home.
Shafeeqa...!
Are you at home? Shafeeqa..!
Yes...! What're you yelling for?
I've been calling you.
You should get a hearing aid!
Looks delicious.
Don't touch it yet. I'm making you tea.
Shafeeqa, the other day...
I told you about a boy...
Who?
I told you about...
Yes. Anil, right?
Where's he?
Anil! Anil!
Anil, this is Aunty Shafeeqa.
Just call me aunty.
Are you nervous?
No, he's just tired.
You didn't tell me Anil was coming today.
Lucky I made some snacks.
Where are Nilfa and Nina?
They were just here playing around.
Nina!
Nilfa!
Yes... mom.
Where's your sister?
Here.
Call her.
Yes.
Mom..! Look..!
Stop your mischief.
Here is the son of father's friend.
He will stay here for the holidays. Now welcome him.
Mom, you haven't told us his name.
I am Anil.
Nina, come on, greet him.
Greet him, dear.

Anilbe.
What're you doing?
All these are football players.
Where's Ronaldo?
I think Romario's better.
Do you play football?
Yeah. In school.
How was your report card this term?
Did you pass the exams?
I didn't sit the exam this time.
Why?
Where are your mom and dad?
They didn't come here. Did they?
My mom's passed away.
I don't know where my dad is.
But I'm hoping to meet him.
But I'm hoping to meet him. Nina!
Nina..!
Let's go.
Yes, mom.
Can we take Anilbe with us.
Want to come, Anil?
Where?
I'm going to the doctor, right mom?
Yes. Why? What happened?
You're not keeping well?
She's been eating too many sweets.
I'm taking her to the dentist.
Anilbe, do you eat sweets?
Once in a while.
Please sign these documents.
Are you all right?
No..!
Is it urgent?
No.
I'll sign later.
You got to be kidding! Don't talk nonsense!
Your jokes are over the edge!
This is not a joke... really, Anil is my son.
How could've this happened?
You could win an award for been faithful!
Everybody has his ups and downs.
This is a mistake I made a decade ago.
A stupid blunder...
I just can't believe it. This is just not you.
Afeef...! Please help me...
Zahid...!
You must disclose everything to Shafeeqa.
Otherwise you would fee guilty all the time.
But it's too late for that now, isn't it?
Better late than never.
When I put some balm... she's asleep.
Where is Nilfa?
She is still up?
She's absorbed in a book.
Shafeeqa...
I have to tell you something.
Who're you bringing this time?
It's not like that...
Are you feeling well?
No..! It's not that...
It's just...
How can I say this...
You're scaring me, Zahid. What's going on?
Did I do something wrong?
No...!
It's me who's done wrong.
What did you... do..?
It's not easy to say.
You remember that time I went to Addu..
On an official errand...
There I had...
There I had...
I had an affair with a girl from Addu.
I had an affair with a girl from Addu.
No..! Zahid..?
Nooo!
Tell me you're only kidding.
Tell me this isn't true.
No..! it's not... Shafeeqa, Please forgive me...
Who was that woman?
Who is it?
Her name's Ashiya.
She was a teacher.
Why you didn't tell me before?
Why did you keep me in the dark?
I wanted to tell you.
I couldn't find the courage.
Now you find the courage after all this time?
I didn't want to hurt you.
But now I had to tell you.
You want to leave me for her?!
No..! No..! Shafeeqa..!
I would never do that, not even in my worst nightmare.
I haven't seen her in ten years.
Then why are talking about it now?
She's dead.
Then it's no use talking about her now.
She has a child.
So what does that have to do with us?
I'm the father.
That child is Anil.
Zahid..!
Please stop!
Stop it!
Tell me you're lying.
I can't believe it.
I won't take this!
I only came to know recently.
Please, you've got to believe me, Shafeeqa.
Care for me, my love
Care for me, my love
I'm alone, worried, hesitant
I'm always with you
Don't go away
I'm always with you
Care for me, my love
I'm alone, worried, hesitant
I'm always with you
Don't go away
I'm always with you
I desire love and devotion
Wish you would bring me happiness
Wish you could hear my heart craving...
Wish you could hear my heart craving
You are an innocent pure bloom I wish to pick
I gaze you without jade
Wish you would hear my heart craving...
Wish you would hear my heart craving
Care me love...
I'm alone, worried, hesitant
I'm always with you
Don't go away
I'm always with you
The setting moon, stars, sun
Breeze and tide changes
Split bound hearts
Split bound hearts
Hold my hands, endure
Day and night I will always be with you
This is my wish forever
This is my wish forever
Care for me, my love
I'm alone, worried, hesitant
I'm always with you
Don't go away
I'm always with you
You two are out!
No, mom. It wasn't me!
Afeefbe is out.
No, you are out.
Afeefbe is out.
Nilfa is out.
We both got out together..!
Noooo! I'm not out. Afeefbe is out...
Is it!?
Anilbe..! Tell us who is out?
Anil got out, too soon.
Anilbe is great at footballer. Dodgeball is not his game.
Is that so..!? I love football, too.
Romario is favorite player of Anilbe.
I see...
Too bad Romario couldn't play this time.
Anil? Come.
Does it hurt?
This is an old injury.
The pain comes back every time I play.
Better apply shark oil.
Who told you that?
Mom...
She used to apply shark oil whenever I got injured at football.
It smells awful but the pain subsides quickly.
30. 31...
Neena! Time to go to bed.
Just a minute... Mom. I'm almost done.
You could go on counting. It's infinite.
Mom, you're interrupting me. Now I have to begin all over again.
Come on. It's too late already.
Anilbe..! Where did I go wrong?
Told you it's too late now.
Mom! Please!
No...! Come with me!
Mom... Please! I already said no..!
Mom... just let me count up to 60 stars.
Only the insane counts stars.
No..!
If you count up to 60 stars, you'll dream whatever you want to.
Who told you that?
Anilbe.
Goodnight, Anilbe.
51, 52...
61, 62...
Anil... Homesick?
I can see more stars at home.
Did you ever visit my place, Uncle Zahid?
Only once, it was a long time back.
Did you meet my mom?
Yes... she was a teacher, right?
That was before I was born.
She quit afterwards.
But I had to study all the same.
Do you know my father?
What?
Do you know my father?
Ever met him?
What did mom say?
I might meet him one day.
But... mom, truly loved dad.
Uncle Zahid...
If you count 60 stars and go to sleep,
will you have the lucid dreams you want?
Will it happen?
Perhaps... do you believe it?
It happens to a child in one of the stories mom read to me.
Now... if I count 60 stars and go to sleep,
I see mom and me happy, playing together.
Your mom's looking for you!
Never mind. Let me sit.
That hurts!
That hurts me too!
Hey, give me that!
What are you looking at? I said give me that!
Put it on.
You stop there!
Get him!
My hanky! Give me!
Gimme that... my hanky!
Mommy!
Hey! You ruffians... rowdy antics started!
Stone pelting to roofs... bullying kids...
I'll bash you all... black and blue.
Mommy..!
What do you think you are doing!?!
Here come Sitti Fulhu..! She will go on hollering.
Get the hell away from here!
Scums bullying kids!
Running away? Where would you go?
Anil!
Things are getting out of hand.
You're being a bad influence on Nilfa and Nina, too!
Now look what you have done!
Should be more careful when you live in other people's homes.
What are you staying here for?
Go away. Go and stay in your room.
Daddy! Anil is bleeding!
Come here quick.
Anil?
What happened, Anil?
Nilfa! Please get the first aid kit.
How did this happen? When?
You're feverish, too.
When did this happen?
I was coming from Asru prayers.
Something hit you?
No, some bullies hurt me.
They hurt you!?
Here is the kit.
Let me
What is this!? There's no bandage even!
Let me see...
This looks bad.
We must go to the hospital.
We can't make it to the party then?
Where's mom?
Went back to the bedroom.
Why don't you take the children to the party?
Anil is bleeding.
Why should I go?
Afeef and Hamidha are your friends, aren't they?
But you go out with them when I'm not here.
A child is bleeding here and you choose to ignore it.
Why didn't you say so before?
No child that, I should be concerned is injured.
You don't need to know...
You don't want him here, do you?
You want me to send him away?
Don't resent that innocent child.
He did nothing...
You should know that.
Anil is my son.
As his father... I'm responsible...
Your eyes, your face never ceases to surprise me
Never ceases to surprise me
Your innocent calling exhilarates me
Exhilarates me
Your eyes, your face never ceases to surprise me
Never ceases to surprise me
Your innocent calling exhilarates me
Exhilarates me
Tonight my heart is full of love
I let you sleep in my arms
Tonight my heart is full of love
I let you sleep in my arms
Lest you come to know I'll be patient
I'll hold back my tears
The blood that runs through my veins calls for love shared forever
Your eyes, your face never ceases to surprise me
Never ceases to surprise me
Daddy!
Afeefbe and Hamidatha feels sorry for you... missing the party
I ate a lot. The food was delicious.
You kids, better go to bed.
Where's Anilbe? Is he all right?
Neena!
Good night daddy...
It's time for you to go to bed.
I can't drink milk tonight.
Goodnight, dad.
Shafeeqa...
Thank you...
When did you arrive, Fareesha?
Just a few minutes ago.
Did Lalit come, too?
He's too busy.
How long are you staying this time?
Around a week.
Hey, let's take some time off with the kids.
Yeah! But Zahid's not town.
-Where's he? In Addu.
In Addu?! What's he doing there?
Shafeeqa..!?
Grandpa... Don't leave me.
I'll be all alone.
Sister!
Stop that..!
My only worry is that my two children may get neglected.
What's done is done.
It's no use crying.
You can't change the past.
But
Anil's mom is gone. What's there to fear?
I just have this unsettling feeling that Zahid is too close with Anil.
But Anil is going to be staying in Addu, isn't he?
It's not easy to go on being angry with Zahid.
I still love him. Very much.
Slowly and careful..! It may get spoiled.
Sis..! I quit..!
Does your children know about this?
No!
We didn't let on that anything was wrong between us.
When he was here, they had so much fun around him.
Especially Nina.
I took well to him at first, too.
But after I found out that he is Zahid's illegitimate child,
it threw me into a fit.
I admit that it's not Anil's fault.
I just can't help wondering
What was it, that Zahid found so alluring in Anil's mother.
Faree!
I must be insane, right?
No, Shafeeqa. You've been quite patient.
I wish I love Lalit as much as you love Zahid.
It makes me full of envy to see you and Zahid so in love with each other.
Just keep your cool.
Mom, come and swim.
Hey, give me that ball.
No..!
Gimme the ball...
We're planning to buy a nice house from Nuweraliya.
Next time you come, you must stay there.
We'll come during next school holidays.
Lalit will be very happy.
He simply adores your kids.
He was expecting you last time and had everything ready.
Can I join you people?
Imad!
Hey, when did you get here?
It's been a week.
I'm a stakeholder of this diving school.
To finish some business work.
You could be stalking us for all I care!
I'm still willing if you want to share with me!
Dream on.
Shafeeqa..!
Imad's presence makes you so quiet!?
Still not over Imad, are you?
You're going?
I'm tired. Need some rest.
Anyways, I better leave you two alone to share your good old times.
Good night.
You're going, too?
You haven't asked me how I've been.
You haven't, either.
Come. Sit down.
Can you put that off?
OK?
Now you could sit down...
How's the children? Are they all right?
They're doing fine.
They spent whole day swimming.
they fell fast asleep.
They're here?
Where's Zahid?
Is he around?
If Zahid's here, I won't be sitting here alone, would I?
Zahid's such a busy man now, isn't he?
But every husband should find time for his wife.
Have you married?
You're changing the subject.
Don't want to talk about Zahid, do you?
Oops! A powercut!
Imad..!
My kids are alone
They might get scared if they wake up.
What's the room number?
This is sandpit end.
It's so far from here!
We get more privacy.
Shafeeqa be careful...
Watch your step.
I think it's ran out of gas.
Lucky we got here.
The power's back.
Shafeeqa! I'll be going.
Mom... Mom...!
Mom..!
I don't think this is a good time to bring Anil here.
It's apparent that Anil is lonely and depressed.
As everyone's left for the holidays,
there's no one here.
But
Alright, we can keep him now,
it's not that we don't want him.
Please do consider the fact how lonely he will be here.
Well, you know the best.
If you think Anil should stay here, then so be it.
I'll let you know my decision tomorrow.
Anil is now our student.
We will do everything we can for him.
Thank you very much.
My pleasure.
Anil.
Let's go!
Anil..!
What's wrong?
Anil..! Anil..! What's your problem?
Anil..!
Anil..!
Wait..!
Anil..! This is what your mom wanted, isn't it?
I don't want to stay here.
You must honor your mom's last wish.
I can't stay here.
You have to!
If you don't want to take care of me,
leave me with someone who wants to take me in.
It's not that I don't want you stay with me.
Shafeeqatha hates me,
still... you've been...
Nobody wants me.
Mom's gone. Grandpa's gone.
Wish my father was here!
Your eyes, your face never ceases to surprise me
Never ceases to surprise me
Very nice!
Oh! Is this Gan airport?
Yes.
Perfect
Who's this?
My favorite footballer.
Who are these?
Some aliens.
Aliens?!
That's mom and me.
Can you sketch me?
My heart yearns wants to make you happy
My heart yearns wants to make you happy
You're the light of my eyes Nobody else knows
Your eyes, your face never ceases to surprise me
Never ceases to surprise me
Hello!
Zahid!
Are you in Male'
No, we're still in Addu.
We couldn't get seats from today's flight.
What do you mean 'we'? Aren't you coming alone?
It's the school holidays. Nobody's at the boarding.
I can't leave Anil alone here.
Why don't you just admit that father & son is enjoying a holiday
No matter what! Anil will stay with me under my care.
Tomorrow he is coming with me, back to Male'
Grandpa!
Haroonbe will be with you. Everything will be alright.
Haroon! Haroon..! Haroon..!
Is this mom's?
Nilfa!
You're still chewing killi! It's too late.
You've still your make-up on. It's time to sleep.
Nina slept without brushing her teeth.
Honey, give me that. Go brush your teeth and sleep.
Go now!
Aunty!
This is a present I brought for you.
I think Shafeeqa is beginning to accept things.
But you're not sure, right?
Well, things won't be same.
If you both could adjust and compromise, it will help.
I guess things can't be the same again.
When are you leaving to Addu?
Our engineer has gone to Kulhudhuffushi.
As soons as he returns we'll head to Addu.
The trip is waiting for him.
Mom!
Mom..!
Mom!
Son..!
Mom..!
What happened, Anil?
You look frightened.
Anil..! Anil..!
Wake up.
Yes...
What happened? Bad dream?
Yes!
It's all right now.
Didn't you read prayers before going to sleep?
Did you?
That's why you had a bad dream.
You should always say your prayers before going to sleep.
I forgot to say my prayers.
Have some water.
Shafeeqa!
Anil..!
Say your prayers and go back to sleep.
Want some water?
OK, then! Say your prayers.
You're a first-rate cheat.
Why are you being so difficult?
I'm the one who's to blame?
Just calm down. What's your problem?
Still, you want me to be blamed?
Now I know why you fell for that woman
I don't want Anil to stay here one minute.
Take him away now!
How many times do I have to tell you I can't throw him out!
I can't take this no more!
Shafeeqa..! How can I send him away?
I'll take him to the boarding when the holidays are over.
Truth is Anil is my son.
Oooh! The pain you cause from your love
Don't let me burst into tears pain of your love.
Oooh! The pain you cause from your love
Don't let me burst into tears pain of your love.
You crushed my heart and soul
Anil!
Shafeeqa!
Shafeeqa..!
Anil's run away!
He is gone..!
What am I supposed to do?
Shafeeqaa..!
Hello! Zahid speaking.
Afeef?
I need your help. It's important.
I'm ok Afeef! Sure, I'm fine!
Shafeeqa! Any news of Anil?
Hello! My name's Zahid.
I want to report a missing child.
Everything's gone out of hand.
It's all my fault.
Please forgive me, Zahid.
Any news?
No!
Hello! Yes!
Yes..!
They found Anil...
Found..!? Where?
Hello..! Yes! Yes!
We'll be right over.
Where's he? Where.. is he?
In the hospital.
Hospital!?
Your eyes, your face never ceases to surprise me
Never ceases to surprise me
Your innocent gazing exhilarates me
Never ceases to surprise me
Your eyes, your face never ceases to surprise me
Never ceases to surprise me
I want to hold you with love, because you refuse to sleep in my arms, tonight.
I want to hold you with love, because you refuse to sleep in my arms, tonight.

Your eyes, your face Never ceases to surprise me
