A touching six episode serial that revolves around a cancer ward and the
life of cancer patients, their fears, their little joys and how some people
die only due to lack of money required for their treatment.
Seher (Javeria Jalil) is a young social worker, who moves around bringing
hope and happiness in the life of cancer patients, knowing the fact that she
too suffers from Leukemia and cannot be cured. Asad Bin Khalid (Humayun
Saeed) is an aspiring talented cricketer whose whole life revolves around
cricket and who dreams of becoming a world famous cricketer. His dreams are
shattered when he finds out that he has Sarcoma (a kind of bone cancer) but
is curable. For a man who is very self reliant and for whom cricket is life,
this is very depressing and he refuses to accept this and even tries to run
away from the hospital. Here Seher brings a new ray of light in his life and
changes him completely and he gradually falls in love with her.
Since Asad's father (Shafi Mohammed) is very rich, he takes him abroad for treatment.
Meanwhile Seher is not so well off and her mother, Safina (Ismat Zaidi)
works day and night to collect money for her treatment. Also all the fellow
patients have jointly tried to collect enough money so that Seher could be
treated. Yet before something could be done her condition declines and
finally the doctor (Badar Khalil) tells her mother that Seher's body is no
longer reacting to any medicine or chemotherapy and all they can do is
pray. On the other hand Asad recovers and writes to Seher that he is
returning home. Will Seher be around by the time he returns?
The play is beautiful and a perfect blend of comedy and tragedy. The whole
cast has acted well and it is a play that should not be missed. -by Gina
