After their marriage takes place they return to Rameez's home and Rameez takes a few pictures of Haya and suddenly she faints. Rameez takes her to the hospital. He even informs Hadi. Hadi reaches the hospital immediately. Rameez asks him if he can stay with Haya for sometime in the hospital as he has to go back home. Hadi agrees. When Hadi and Haya are in the hospital's room, Rameez takes a few pictures of them through a small window of the room. Hadi tells Haya that now she is not alone, she has a husband, she should think about Rameez.
When Haya and Rameez reach back home, Rameez tells her that how he had always wished for a house in which his beautiful wife and he would cook food for themselves together.
It is then shown that Haya is leaving for her Taya (Hadi's father) and Tai (Hadi's mother) house for some days according to a rasam (custom). Rameez asks her to stay but she says that she would be back in some days. Then she leaves.
At her Tai's house Haya receives Rameez's call, who asks her to come back as he is feeling alone.when Haya refuses to do so, Rameez says that he is coming to her house right now because he is missing her a lot. She says that it's not possible as his house is far away from her house, it would take hours to reach there, and she is stunned when she turns around to see Rameez standing near the door.
Haya learns that Hadi has started taking patients (which he had stopped before because of the death of his first wife Uroosa). Her Tayee in shock talks to Haya and says that I wonder how he agreed on taking cases once again. Haya says it's because of me, I asked him to do so. She says that there should be a party because it's a big news. They should celebrate. Her Tayee even tells Rameez about this, who also seems to be happy.
On the other hand, Fareesa goes to meet Saim, who tells her that he would be leaving for America soon as he cannot stay longer. His company has asked him to come back. Fareesa gets angry. She says to him that she cannot live without him, to which he replies by saying that he cannot too.
As Fareesa had gone to meet Saim and refused to prepare lunch for Hadi, which is to be sent to his hospital, Haya prepares his lunch. While Haya is preparing his lunch Rameez arrives there and asks her whether she would prepare the lunch for him in the same way, as she is preparing for Hadi. She replies "Yes ! I would."
When Hadi receives his lunch box at his hospital he sees that there is a note inside the lunch box as well. The note is from Haya and she has written on the note "Just for HS." Hadi smiles and begins eating his lunch.
When he arrives at his home he is ecstatic to see the house's dining room decorated and everyone standing there waiting for him to cut the cake. He cuts the cake and suddenly Fareesa appears. She asks what is going on. Hadi's mother tells her that it's a celebration and also tells her the reason behind it. She says that why doesn't she ask him (Hadi) what happened that made him take this decision.
But Haya, interrupts her. Hadi's mom takes him to a side and tells him that Haya is not willing to go back with Rameez. She says that Hadi know better than her about Haya, and requests him to ask her to leave, it will be better for her and as well as you. Hadi leaves the party and goes to his room. Haya arrives there and asks him why he left the party and came here. He tells Haya that he is not interested in this party and she should leave him alone. He says that he is suffering from a headache and wants to rest. Haya asks him if her Tayee said something regarding her to him. He says no he just wants her to leave and live with her husband. She asks him that he is asking her to live with her husband, but before saying that he should first think about him and Fareesa and why they don't even live the same room, even when they are husband and wife. He says that it's not about him and Fareesa it's about Haya and Rameez. She says that she wants to leave Hadi and start her life with Rameez. At last he says "Yes !" Haya leaves his room. Feeling dejected, Haya then tells Rameez to take her back to their home. Once they reach their home, Rameez gifts her a dress and asks her to wear it. After that, he asks her if she would do everything that she does for HS. He shows her pictures that he took of her and Hadi in hospital. Haya gets shocked.
Rameez asks her that does she think that he is a fool. He had seen her love for Hadi way before.
He grabs her hand and hurts her when she is sleeping for her to wake up get ready for his own entertainment.
He asks her to make lunch and breakfast for him. And gets excited on seeing the lunchbox (Apparently he had seen a dream about it). He tells Haya that he has finished off her balance on her phone and would take it with him. He has also disconnected landline and internet connection and anyway by which she could communicate with anyone.
Haya gets perplexed about the happenings with her.
While Hadi is trying to get back to Fareesa, Fareesa avoids him. He sees her while she's talking to Saim. But Fareesa tells him that she was talking to her mother. Haadi still feels that she's lying because she kept changing the subject. Later Hadi tracks her and sees her with saim in a public park. Hadi furiously reaches home and when 
Fareesa arrives he questions her but she simply refuses to what Hadi saw. Later Rameez arranges a picnic, where they do ice skating and wall climbing and it is when Haya is uncomfortable doing all this but Rameez forces her to enjoy with him while Fareesa and Hadi notice Rameez's behaviour. Fareesa insists Saim to let them fly to USA but he is a bit reluctant to do so. In a heated argument, Fareesa says to Hadi that even if he thinks of divorcing her she will destroy Haya's life. Hadi finds no other  way to solve the problem so he finally divorces Fareesa. Fareesa leaves the house while shouting that everyone in this house is mental and that she will bring everyone on the footpath. When she reaches Saim's house, he tells her that he was taking revenge from her because she left him just to marry Hadi. Fareesa is shocked and is left devastated while Saim kicks her out of her house and life. On the other hand, Rameez and Haya learn from Tayee that Hadi has divorced Fareesa. He starts shouting at Haya and calls it her plan. He chases Haya in the house when a sofa drops on his foot and he's hurt and when he catches Haya she accidentally hits him with a knife that injures his hand. Haya runs out of her apartment while Rameez is chasing her when Hadi clashes with Haya and takes her to his house. Haya is found to be pregnant but her Tayee, Taya and Hadi force her to live with them and leave Rameez.
