Things become difficult when their younger daughter is diagnosed with heart disease and they don't have the 6 million rupees needed for her treatment. In this condition, Imaan is forced to join a job that Maya (Maha Warsi), his first love, offers him. Maya asks Imaan for his hand in marriage and he accepts on the condition that she will pay for his younger daughter, Hania's treatment. His life changes as he has two wives and is left in a tiff as he has to care for both. His first wife eventually finds out of his betrayal and stops talking to him. He tries his best to explain but she is not ready to listen.[4] Meanwhile, their younger daughter dies under the stress of her father's absence who swore he would return home but was unable to due to a meeting. During her funeral, Maya and Imaan go to the house to see Hania. Wafa, in a rage of anger yells at them that Hania's death was all caused by Imaan.
