BBC - Asian Network - Silver Street Synopsis

Friday 28th July 2006

Rozena is impressed that Sameer has put up some shelves and suggests that they need a glass cabinet to display some of the ghastly silverware they received as wedding gifts. Sameer mentions that he bumped into an unhappy Jaggy who'd found out that Simran is seeing Pete Brady. Sameer thinks as long as Pete treats Kesar ok then that's all that matters. Rozena accuses him of getting more and more broody.

Rozena is interrupted form a call from Zenab who is panicking about Imran driving off in a state. Zenab is worried sick that he may have do something terrible. They drive over there and Zenab tells Sameer to go and see Mushtaq, she left him having to explain his son's bad behaviour to their guests, they can handle this.

They find Imran whimpering like a child in the corner of the kitchen. He keeps telling Rozena that he saw him and he was a kid in the video. Zenab wants to know what is going on but Rozena ignored her and reassures Imran that its all finished, he needs to control his emotions. Zenab notices that his hands are bleeding and whilst her back is turned, Rozena tells him to stop torturing himself over someone who wasn't worth it anyway, it happened and noone found out. Zenab brings him a blanket as he is sobbing uncontrollably. Zenab says she's not leaving until she knows what has happened, he needs peace of mind and she is their mother, she has a right to know.

Imran recalls that at 15, when she was in Pakistan , he found Rozena being attacked by someone in the allotments. There was a scuffle and a knife was involved, he tried to get Mickey off Rozena and grabbed the knife killing Mickey. Zenab is shocked but blames herself, she should have been there for them. He acted with honour, he was just protecting his sister. Rozena and Imran both break down. Zenab promises she will get them through it, she will be with them all the way from now on.
