After hearing that Amal has refused his proposal, a heartbroken Fawad goes to [[Karachi]] and tries to win her heart by telling her that he can give her his only property of buffaloes and dairy. She asks Vasay to give her his London apartment, but he refuses because that&amp;#039;s the only property he has with him. After hearing that, Amal agrees to marry Fawad. On the day of marriage, Fawad gets drunk and tells his friends that he hasn&amp;#039;t given Amal any property but has killed her by sticking her in sentiments. Amal hears this and gets heartbroken.

Fawad dives from the roof but survives.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
After Fawad recovers from his injuries, he takes Amal to his dairy, but she doesn&amp;#039;t feel happy after seeing the condition of the dairy and buffaloes.

He hugs his cousin Durdana and asks her to help him because his heart is broken. Amal sees him hugging Durdana, gets heartbroken, and tells Fawad that she will get a divorce. After hearing this, Fawad gets angry and slaps Amal, after which she leaves him and goes back to Karachi. Now after some weeks, Fawad feels guilty and decides to go to Karachi and apologize to her but when he goes to her home. her family tells him that she has demanded a divorce from him. After hearing this Fawad decides to meet Amal but she is gone at Vasay&amp;#039;s house. He goes to Vasay&amp;#039;s house and tries to take Amal with him. Vasay and his friends try to stop him, but he beats them, after which the police arrive and arrest Fawad. After getting released from jail, Fawad again tries to apologize to Amal, but she doesn&amp;#039;t forgive him and asks for divorce one final time; otherwise, they will meet in court. Fawad agrees to give her divorce only if she comes to [[Punjab, Pakistan|Punjab]]; at first, she refuses. Fawad leaves, but Vasay and his friends stop him. He allows Vasay to beat him. Amal then agrees to come to Punjab. Fawad apologizes to his and Amal&amp;#039;s family after signing the divorce papers and leaves.
