After meeting Areeb a few more times and after him proposing to her, Maheer starts to develop feelings for Areeb. Sarwar is then forced by Neelo to talk to Azhar about finalizing Saad and Maheer's marriage. Azhar agrees, but Maheer is mad about this, which Saad notices.

But on the wedding day, Areeb's father Rehan (Javed Sheikh) suffers a heart attack, resulting in admitting him to the hospital. After trying to contact Areeb, Azhar is called by Beenish, who lies to him that Areeb never loved Maheer and she insults Maheer's whole family. Maheer is heartbroken after this.
