Their marriage has also been fixed. But, on informing their wealthy uncle Mukhtar, he asks them to break off that marriage and to give Samrah hand for his elder son Rashid Mukhtar (no one is willing to marry Rashid as he not only failed in eighth grade, he doesn't have a great reputation). Ifrah and Samrah's parents first refuse Mukhtar, but he threatens them and tells them that he will take back their house and their shop (it is all in his name). On hearing this, Samrah, though reluctant, agrees to the wedding, willing to sacrifice her happiness for her family.
