Later, Mohib marries Mubashira's childhood best friend Heena. Enraged Mubashira goes to Mohib's house and creates scene. She is stopped by Zaid. Later, she fights with Rayan because he was not there to support her and Zaid did his part instead. She tried to malign Mohib's image and he confronts Mubashira, telling her that she is a crazy woman and can never fulfill a marriage and will get divorced every time she marries. This hurts her ego and is eager to get married again soon to prove Mohib's claims wrong. Kashmala tells Asif that she loves Rayan and wants to marry him which Asif tells to Jafar who offers that with this marriage they should make Zaid and Mubashira get married too and he agrees.

Zaid on the other hand is in love with Aira, who hails from a middle class family and lives with her older brother Aamir and his wife Asiya. However, Asif rejects Zaid's plea of marrying Aira because she is not rich and doesn't match their social status. Asif instead offers him to marry Mubashira which he declines due to her egoistic nature. Zaid stays adamant on marrying Aira but Asif blackmails Aamir to reject the marriage proposal in front of Zaid when their family will come to their home for the proposal and he does the same.

After getting pressurized by family, Zaid goes to Mubashira's home and bring her back to his home. He mistreats her in revenge of the deeds of his father which he was told by Aira. Due to Zaid's bad behaviour towards Mubashira, Asif makes his henchmen kidnap and torture Aamir. Aira changes her statement and tells Zaid that she lied about his dad. Hence, Asif releases Aamir.

He threats Mubashira that she must convince Asif for his second marriage with Aira or else he will divorce her and then marry Aira. Scared from divorce, she convinces Asif and Zaid marries Aira. After marriage, Asif plans and plots against Aira with the help of Mubashira to get rid of her.
