OurEarth (1945) :
Sea woke up in an unfamiliar party. Confused he walked around the room till he reached a huge mirror.
"Hia, where are we?" he asked his fiance but suddenly Jimmy vanished. "Hia, come back, Hia..." he screamed running around the room. The room was oblivious to his presence and he went past people dancing on the hightened floor. Suddenly somebody pulled his collar into a bar.
"What's up with this outfit son? Going to a dance I assume?" asked Papa Mix. "Papa, I was there some time ago..." he tried explaining Sea but saw his parent pull out a puppet with his features. He shook a limb and Sea's moved automatically. "Papa?" he asked confused. "My son, Papa wants what is best," smiled Papa Mix and shook the puppet. "Paaaaa... " screamed Sea as the floor beneath them slid and he fell into the void.
"Shabeer, brother, should we take him to hakim?" heard Sea Mastan's voice. "I am informing Bhaijaan, he must know one," said Zulfi. Sea opened his eyes slowly. "Guys, Shabeer has come to his senses. How much is this?" asked Tayyab Ali shaking his fingers in front of Sea's face. "Huh," uttered Sea still dazed. "Tayyab! Bhaijaan is here," scolded Shoaib. He got up and let him sit beside Sea. "Feeling better?" he asked caressing his head. "Hia! Where is Hia?" asked Sea when he didn't see his fiance. The group looked at each other. "Where is the other guy?" asked Sea desperately. "Oh, Jaggy? He returned," informed Bhaijaan. "He did? He really did? Did he say anything? Anything about me?" asked Sea desperately. "Nah, Jaggy can be insensitive. Worry about your health not him," adviced Bhaijaan and got up. "Anyways guys I am too leaving for my abode," he said and left.
"Every time, we go to that wretched place Shabeer returns unwell," commented Shoaib. "His bad luck, I thought today we didn't see Bibbo so at least one outcome would be lessened but no, here we are dressing him," sighed Alam, suddenly realizing whose name she took. "There goes my night of early sleep," lamented Tayyab Ali plopping on his bed. But Sea's mind was current on the topic of his Hia leaving him without saying a word. "Shabeer?" asked Mastan gently. "Did he go into a shock after listening to her name?" asked Tayyab Ali. "Aan Aan, Shabeer," said Alam and shook Sea to the reality.
"I guess he can accompany me tonight to my place," suggested Alam. "Hmm, maybe he will feel better. Come I will accompany you," said Shoaib and pulled Sea out of their shared house. "Alam, Shoaib, did Hia...I mean that didn't even show any concern?" asked Sea anxiously. "When you fainted we all were concerned about you more. He did bring some water to be sprinkled upon you," remembered Shoaib. "Anything else, calling an unfamiliar name, taking initiative?" asked Sea. "Bhaijaan send him off. It was way past his curfew time. Why do you know him?" asked Alam. "I...I don't," gave up Sea and walked towards Alam's place.
"I am back," announced Alam. "Khuda ka khair ho, when Zunaid informed me that you and Shoaib went to the entertainment district again, I was worried," said an old woman loudly as she came out. "Arey Shoaib, Shabeer? Welcome Welcome," said the lady and hugged them. "Has Shabeer come too?" asked an old male voice. "Yes Abbu, come meet him," said Alam as he lifted the ladder to a loft. "Ama Miyaan, I heard you became insane after visiting our house! Couldn't remember shit," he exclaimed. "He did Uncle, to an extent he forgot Bibbo," laughed Shoaib. "No way, give me instructions I also want to forget my age and aliments," joked the old man. "What age? Uncle can pass easily as Alam's older brother," joined in Sea. "I know right, explain that to your Aunty," laughed Uncle. "Paint me as your enemy and I won't dilute that bitter medicine anymore," mocked Aunty. "If you were my enemy, I would be ready to die from your hands a thousand times," said Uncle and earned a wow from the crowd. "Okay, my lovely people we are heading to my loft for the night. Sleep tight, goodnight," said Alam and climbed upstairs followed by Shoaib and Sea.
"You sleep here?" asked Sea. "I work here. I sleep with my parents," corrected Alam. "Tell me Khun, will you be able to sleep in this chaos," asked Shoaib. Sea looked at Alam mouthing 'how does she know'. "Here here, Alam never hides anything from me. Your demeanor doesn't match our current timeline nor does the Shabeer we knew have the chance of recovery from his bad habits," spilled Shoaib. "Huh, the highlight of you knowing it's not him wasn't just this, it was?" asked Alam. "Not recognizing us as females. Shabeer would have never allowed us to the places we explored this month," ended Shoaib. "Does everyone else know?" asked Sea concerned. "You think? They are as dense as fog during winter. I cannot emphasize the times I got away fooling them," said Shoaib. "That put me at ease, thank you, girls," sighed Sea. "Then tell us, who is that guy?" asked both of them in unison. "First tell me who is this Bibbo?" asked Sea avoiding the question. "Shabeer's unforgettable lover. They were about to get married but her father found a better match," filled in Shoaib. "Ah! Do they still love each other?" asked Sea. "Shabeer does. Bibbo...I don't know. She has a daughter now, Shabeer claims it's his, messed up," informed Alam. "Now that told you the story, who is that guy?" pested Shoaib. "What are your real names?" asked Sea again dodging the question. "Alamzeb and Sahiba, now answer answer answer," said Shoaib and caught Sea's collar. "We were to get married in my world. That's all," threw Sea a combination of sentences. "Arranged? Bestowed? More context," asked Alam interested in the conversation. "Love turned into arranged turned into forced if that makes sense," revealed Sea. "It might if you elaborate," proposed Shoaib. "Fine, we might as well get into the details, just don't blame me for a tired morning," warned Sea and the duo nodded.
