Azar, a cousin of Numair, is keen to marry Rameen. After being raped by Numair, she is reluctant to marry Azar, as she thinks he might be the same as Numair. Rameen discloses to her parents that Numair harasses her, to which her mother asks her to keep it a secret as it could affect her sister's marital life. Numair attacks his father-in-law as he discovers the truth. 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. He thinks she is lying, as Rameen's mother lies to everyone that Rameen is suffering from a disease and needs medical attention as she wants to save her daughter Minal's marriage. Later, her mother dies. Azar, Minal, and Numair throw her out of the house, and she lives in the servant quarters. No one believes her to be innocent. Rameen then leaves the house quietly. She lives in a private women's hostel, where she meets a girl who sells girls for money. Rameen doesn't know about it, but when she learns it, she escapes as that girl is on her way to sell her. There, she meets Sheraz. Sheraz is a widower with three daughters. Azar commits suicide as he is guilty of what he did with Rameen. Sheraz takes Rameen to his house. There, she gets attached to Sheraz's daughters and mother and requests him to let her live there as a maid. He gives her permission to live in his house. Soon both of them fall in love with each other. Numair and Minal's daughter is diagnosed with cancer. Numair thinks that if Rameen lives close to his daughter, Allah will forgive his sins and cure her. When Rameen returns home, Numair accepts that he raped Rameen, and to stop her from going away again, he doesn't tell her that Azar is dead. He says that Azar is in Saudi Arabia and sends her flowers and messages in the name of Azar to make sure she thinks he is alive. Minal is confused and agitated, so she confronts Rameen to tell her that Azar is dead and that Numair is lying to her. Numair claims Sheraz has lustful eyes towards Rameen to the fact, which Rameen accepts. But when Rameen learns the truth, she leaves the house and marries Sheraz. Numair is devastated and thinks that now his daughter will die, and eventually, he turns mad and is sent to a mental hospital.
