Rameen discloses to her parents that she is being harassed by Numair to which her mother asks her to keep it as a secret as it could affect her sister's marital life. Numair attacks his father-in- law (Manzoor Qureshi) as he comes to know of everything. Rameen's father suffers from a heart attack and passes away .Rameen then agrees to marry Azar after which she tries to tell her husband the truth about Numair but he, along with everyone else, thinks that she is lying as Rameen's mother lies to everyone that Rameen is suffering from a disease and needs medical attention as she wanted to save her daughter minal's house. Later, her mother dies & Azar, Minal and Numair throw her out of the house and she is made to live in the servant quarters. No one believes her to be innocent. Rameen then leaves the house quietly. She lives in a private women hostel, where she meets a girl who sells girls for money.
