00:30We are still in jail, but there is nothing in this case.
00:33There is no witness.
00:35No police officer has any evidence.
00:38There is only waiting and a dark night has been written in our lives
00:43whose dawn is not even visible around us.
00:49After going around the court again and again, I have understood that
00:55it is not so easy to listen to a common man.
00:59Sometimes there is no judge, sometimes there is no government lawyer.
01:03It has been two years since our hearing in the High Court has not started yet.
01:09Since 2014, there has been a lot of mob lynching and strange incidents.
01:15We did not want him to be in any kind of trouble.
01:19Still, he convinced us that I will go for a while, I will come back.
01:25This is how he started living there.
01:27He started living there at night as well.
01:29We used to meet him and come.
01:32He used to come home only to change his clothes and take a bath.
01:36When Khalid was arrested, my younger daughter was 6 years old.
01:41Today she is 10 years old. She will be 11 years old.
01:45So, somewhere there are so many questions in the minds of the children
01:49which they are not able to share with everyone.
01:51They talk to each other.
01:53When will my father come back?
01:55Last time we went to Goa.
02:00Khalid made a lot of videos then.
02:03In those videos, Maryam looks for her happiness, for her father.
02:10Daily Rites started in February.
02:14I was studying my BDS at that time.
02:18My dad was having a business in Chand Bagh area.
02:22At the time of protest, he was not doing anything.
02:25But there is a same passage for going outside from that area and entering the area.
02:31So, he was just passing.
02:33There was so much ruckus in that area at that time.
02:38Everyone was hitting each other and burning the substances or burning the buildings there.
02:46So, he was there for protecting himself and his business
02:50plus his stocks and his staff members.
02:54He was protecting them.
02:56I don't know what happened at that time.
03:00Police came and just investigated him and arrested him for this reason.
03:07When I came to know that my father has been arrested under UAPA,
03:12there was some discrimination.
03:15They took everything.
03:18Whether it was about religion or just to show off.
03:24But this thing started coming in everything.
03:26People started moving away that he is a terrorist.
03:28If we talk about it, who knows the same thing will happen to us.
03:32People used to speak in front of the house.
03:34There were even issues on small things.
03:37Why have you parked the car, you are terrorists.
03:40Things like this used to happen.
03:42My younger sister was studying in school at that time.
03:46There were a lot of issues with her fees.
03:48She was asked to pay the fees together or we won't let her study further.
03:58We are always hopeful that she will get a bail.
04:02When many women's hopes are shattered, it hurts a lot.
04:10We also feel it and they feel it more than us.
04:13Because they are not tolerating it.
04:15My father is actually a strong hearted person.
04:19If we try to console him or tell him something, he consoles us back.
04:25That there is no need to worry.
04:31After his arrest, my younger son had to leave his studies.
04:38Because his father's work was already stopped.
04:43So he had to leave his studies and take care of his work.
04:54We were also getting money from the government.
04:57But in the jail?
04:59No.
05:01They are doing it there.
05:03No, they are taking care of their own expenses.
05:06They are doing it to everyone.
05:08Like the soap that their family is not sending.
05:10You give, you give, you give.
05:12I send 5,000 rupees a day.
05:14All our expenses are our expenses.
05:19As a mother, I always pray for her.
05:26When I see her face, I feel that I am getting the courage to live.
05:33That's why I go to the court again and again to meet her.
05:37When I see her face, I feel at peace.
05:41When I see her smiling, I feel at peace.
05:44No matter how much pain she is in.
05:46I know that she is going through a lot in jail right now.
05:49But when I see her smiling, I feel at peace.
05:54If she can smile in this situation,
05:57I can also try to lead a normal life.
