As a patient, Nashid was consulted with Nahees and he recommended to start medication immediately. He informed that Nahees's incapability to walk was temporary but maybe permanent if an operation is delayed. The operation went smoothly and he was able to walk again. One night, Nahees proposed her but Nisha revealed to him that she had been earlier married to Nashid. Nisha was visited by Nashid much to her surprise, and she was astound to see he can walk. Nashid revealed that he saw his aunt tormenting her and he never doubted her loyalty, but he was forced to divorce her for her good.
On his way to home, he was encountered with Ziya and out of fear, he spilled the truth; Fairooz paid him to kill Nashid. Questioned about his envy, Fairooz revealed that he avenges the death of his father. Fairooz's father was fired from the company and was forbidden to meet him till he dies.
