[edit] | This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (March 2021) |
The story revolves around two couples. The first couple is Wamaj and Raima, who have been married for eight years, and although they hate each other, they cannot divorce due to the wills left by their fathers. The second couple is Abrar and Manahil, who love each other but cannot marry due to financial problems. Abrar works at Raima's boutique, while Manahil is Wamaj's secretary[2][citation needed]
Episodes 1–5
[edit]Manahil and Abrar want to marry each other as soon as possible, but they cannot, as Abrar's elder sister Seher is not yet married. She wants to find a husband as she is passing a suitable age for marriage. Manahil tries to match Seher with an old shopkeeper (Rasheed) but fails, as Abrar sees the shopkeeper and Seher together. Manahil and Seher become good friends, which results in Manahil advising Seher so she can get married soon.
Raima and Wamaj have been married for eight years but hate each other. They cannot divorce each other because the one who files for divorce will not be part of the will signed by their parents. They unsuccessfully try to use black magic to get a divorce.[citation needed]
Episodes 6–8
[edit]A marriage proposal comes for Seher, and she accepts. Raima and Wamaj continue to try to make the other file for divorce by faking interest in another person. While Raima takes her friend Numra's husband for lunch, Wamaj starts flirting with a woman who ends up robbing him. When Numra sees her husband having dinner with Raima, she gets angry since she is unaware that Raima only pretends to be interested in her husband. Numra advises Raima to date another guy from her boutique, while Wamaj's friend tells him to date someone from his office. Raima tries to date Abrar and tells him she only wants to be divorced, which he refuses, while Wamaj asks Manahil to be his date, who angrily rejects the invitation.
Manahil unsuccessfully asks her mother if she is allowed to marry Abrar. Her mother tells her that she will only let her marry him four years later when her sibling is mature enough to earn. Manahil and Abrar are depressed and have no choice but to accept their bosses.
Abrar tells Manahil he will work for Raima to get more money for Seher's wedding. Manahil tells him that if she works for Wamaj, she can get more money to finance their marriage.

Manahil goes to Wamaj's house and tries to make Raima jealous by showing her that she cares a lot for Wamaj, but she can't fool Raima.

Manahil's mother, Asiya, is suspicious of her daughter and spies on her. She sees Manahil with Wamaj and thinks that both are having a love affair.
