“Why aren’t you getting married, Miss Niniqa Sheikh?”
niniqa(fl)
Smirks 😏, adjusting her shades):
“Marriage? If I marry, I’ll lose my virginity. That’s why I’ll never marry.
And most importantly— I’ll have to sleep beside a stranger! Imagine… someone’s sweat smell, someone’s snoring sound, right in my bed. Nothing in this world can be harder than marriage! It’s the toughest thing ever, if you ask me.”
Her words drop like a bomb. The crowd gasps. Some call her shameless. Some laugh. Cameras keep flashing.
But Niniqa?
Unbothered. 😎
She fixes her goggles, slides down into her car seat, and tells the driver to go. Music plays in her headphones—her own new movie song.
💭 Thirty years old… but looks barely twenty-two. No one can guess her real age unless she tells them. That’s Niniqa Sheikh, the star who doesn’t care about anyone’s judgment.
fl mom
Today, a groom’s family is coming. I hope you won’t object. You’re not young anymore. Your father and I will only find peace once we leave you in someone’s care.”
Niniqa freezes. She literally roasted marriage in front of the media just minutes ago… and now her mother wants her to meet suitors? Unbelievable.
niniqa(fl)
I’m sorry, Mom. I’m not marrying. Please don’t force me.”
fl mom
This isn’t new. You’ve rejected every single suitor we tried to bring. But today… today I’ll make sure you sit in front of them.”
And just like that, Mithila starts her own acting—pretending weakness in front of her actress daughter.
fl mom
(hand on chest, collapsing onto the sofa 😢):
“Ahh… my heart hurts! And look at you… just frowning at me instead of helping.”
fl mom
You’re only holding me because I said so. Otherwise, you wouldn’t even care! Fine, go back to your films. Don’t call me ‘Mom’ anymore.”
niniqa(fl)
Mom, stop acting childish 😩.”
fl mom
Childish?! You dare say that to me? Fine. If you won’t marry, don’t ever call me your mother again.”
niniqa(fl)
Hugging her tightly 🫂):
“Mom, please try to understand… I don’t want marriage now. It’s just a small part of life, nothing more. Without it, life won’t end. Please… please don’t force me.”
fl mom
Small or big—you must marry. Or else… don’t call me mother.”
niniqa(fl)
Staring right at her 😠):
“Are you sure?”
She storms upstairs, leaving her mother crying helplessly. How could such a soft-hearted woman give birth to such a stone-hearted daughter? Maybe… maybe the hospital swapped babies that day.
In her room, Niniqa freshens up and falls into deep sleep. She’s exhausted.
Meanwhile, as evening falls, the suitors arrive at Sheikh Mansion…
.
Sheikh Mansion, evening.
The suitor’s family arrives. The boy is visibly excited, practically bouncing with joy 😁.
💭 Mithila already knows… he’s a huge fan of Niniqa. She can see it in his eyes.
random
Aunty… where’s Madam Niniqa?
fl mom
She’s sleeping. I’ll call her in a bit.”
random
Aunty… did you watch Niniqa Madam’s latest movie?”
random
Oh, Aunty! You missed something amazing!”
Mithila rolls her eyes. Seriously, she’s not giving her daughter to a movie-obsessed groom. She wants a proper match—someone who doesn’t even care about cinema. Movies are chaos; fame is chaos. She won’t let Niniqa fall into this nonsense.
📞 Mithila picks up her phone, dialing the matchmaker.
fl mom
📲Find someone who doesn’t even know the name of a movie… absolutely no cinema fans. Got it?”
random
📲Ma’am… nowadays, everyone watches movies. Even if someone avoids them, how can we guarantee they won’t know any film names? Everyone has smartphones now.”
fl mom
📲Then forget it. I’ll find the groom myself for my daughter.”
She puts the phone down. Good. Niniqa won’t be forced into this mess.
Meanwhile… Niniqa comes downstairs, dragging her oversized plaid shirt and T-shirt, still sleepy 😪.
niniqa(fl)
Dads wife feed me.
Her mother told her not to call her ‘Mom’ because of the argument, so Niniqa twists it to her advantage 😏. Clever girl.
...Her mother told her not to call her ‘Mom’ because of the argument, so Niniqa twists it to her advantage 😏. Clever girl.
fl mom
Give her food. She’s getting what she asked for, but I won’t interfere. Let her feel her consequences
Niniqa munches on her breakfast like nothing happened. She’s relaxed now, no more tension about marriage.
niniqa(fl)
Who came by today, ma’am?”
rumpo..servant
The suitor’s family… but aunty chased them away herself!”
niniqa(fl)
She literally sent them off? Why?”
rumpo..servant
Yes! She said she’ll never marry you off to someone who’s obsessed with movies or even knows movie names. She wants someone like you—someone who doesn’t care about cinema. Totally serious
niniqa(fl)
Hah! I knew it. Now I can relax. No more forced meetings. Mom’s plan actually worked.
rumpo..servant
One more thing… I saw someone talking to your uncle on the phone. Seems like a friend’s son wants to marry you.”
niniqa(fl)
Ugh… some unknown boy suddenly wants to marry me? How does this even happen?
niniqa(fl)
Rumpo, if you hear anything else, tell me immediately. I’m leaving tomorrow for my new movie shoot. Got it?
rumpo..servant
Yes, ma’am.”
niniqa(fl)
And seriously… in 99% of families here, girls end up marrying their father’s friend’s sons. Crazy world. Allah knows where these boys suddenly appear from.
💭 Good. Now I don’t have to worry about marriage at all.

💭 Everyone’s smiling… except Dhara. She’s waiting for her only son. He said he’d try to come… but still, he’s not here.
⏳ Time passes. Everyone waits for the cake-cutting.
Fahim Mahbub sighs, looking at his wife’s anxious face 😔. Does the son even plan to come? No one knows. Maybe he won’t.
Dhara grabs his hand and guides it to the knife. Her eyes glisten, but she avoids looking directly 😢.
ml mom

Fahim Mahbub scans helplessly around. Old friends, relatives… everyone’s waiting. The night is late; soon everyone will go home. How much longer should they wait?
⏰ After five more minutes, Dhara guides his hand again to the knife.
✂️ Just as the knife touches the cake, the front door swings open.

dhruv(ml)
I’m sorry, my dear mother. Let’s cut the cake then 🎂.
Dhruv stands with his mom, Fahim Mahbub places Farhin in front of him. The cake is cut with the children beside them, just the way Dhara wants. Seeing her this happy… it’s priceless.
After the ceremony, everyone leaves.
Only the four of them and a servant remain in the house.
Dhruv washes hands and sits quietly. Farhin is served by her father. He notices his brother and whispers:
farhin(ml sis)
Why aren’t you taking off your uniform?”
Dhara pulls a chair and starts feeding him, busy with all the dishes. Dhruv doesn’t want to hurt her now, so he says nothing.
ml mom
How’s everything, Dhruv?”
dhruv(ml)
Delicious as always. Especially the meat.”
