Maryam meets her professor and starts a job with him. Taimoor dislikes this as he thinks that it is his job to earn bread and butter. Here Taimoor's father and Niece Mishal trick him to think that Maryam is having an affair with her boss and saw them coming out of a five-star hotel kissing when Maryam said her father had a heart attack. Taimoor goes into depression and smokes. He slaps Maryam and then apologises but this causes a breakage in the love of the duo. Maryam goes to her father's house and finds that she is five months pregnant. She stays the night and Taimoor thinks that she is lying and gets angry. He shifts back to his dad's house and agrees to marry Mishal. Maryam goes to his office and tells him she is pregnant, but he says that he will be divorcing her soon and this child is Sajjad's. Maryam slaps him and leaves. Taimoor gets a call for a concert and opens his email where he realises Maryam was right.
