Nabeel's family - except for his younger brother, Zeeshan (Adeel Hussain) - behave badly with Romaisa. Aunt and cousins of Romaisa always demanded for luxuries from Romaisa and Nabeel. Nabeel never refuses Romaisa and tries his best to make her happy. Some months after marriage, Nabeel dies in a car crash. Now, it is easy for his family to treat the meek Romaisa like an unpaid servant. Her aunt takes her back in her home, as she knows that Nabeel had transferred a lot of money and a house on Romaisa's name.

It is found that Nabeel has willed all his wealth to Romaisa, who is expecting his child. Soon, Romaisa and Nabeel's daughter, Maham, is born. Romaisa's father-in-law father coaxes Zeeshan to marry the young widow, pretending that this is for her security. But the real intention is that Nabeel's share of wealth should stay within the family. Zeeshan, an upright police officer, has already gone through a Nikah (wedding ceremony) with Rabia (Mira Sethi), though they are waiting for the rukhsati after which they can live together as a couple. His father suggests that Zeeshan could merely have a paper marriage with Romaisa. Zeeshan tries to discuss the matter with Rabia, but she demands a khula (divorce).

Zeeshan is mostly away from home because of his job. One day, he gets shot in the course of his police duty. He has to remain with his family while he recovers. Romaisa takes care of him and he begins to understand her situation. He also gets attached to little Maham, and she starts calling him 'Papa'. Zeeshan's mother asks him to marry another girl and leave Romaisa to her fate, but he refuses. Now he realizes his parents' true intentions in arranging his marriage to Romaisa.
