Zara says to the Committee that we are your daughters, mothers, sisters, wives, you people make place for us in Mosques and do not stop us from going to God. One Priest says that Zara is right, Mosques should have place for Women there and it’s right as per Sharia.
The Sharia members says I won’t let it happen. Irfan says stop it, and after listening to the arguments, I feel Zara’s arguments are strong and this case decisions goes in her favour, women can pray in mosques, and from today henceforth, they will offer prayers there, and we will ask the Committee to make place for them. Kabeer glares around. The Priest says the Sharia board is with women too. A Man says to hell with Sharia board! Zara sees Kabeer looking away and leaves.
The Sharia members says I won’t let it happen. Irfan says stop it, after listening to the arguments, I feel all the people should see the news of this cases decision.
Ayesha hears it and says I expected this from Zara, great! Ayesha says to Zeenat that I am very happy with this decision and I will go to Mosque with Zara. She asks Zeenat to get ready. Zeenat says I don’t think this is right, Ayesha says as you say, Alina and Nilofar are going with me. Zeenat says many people are against this rule and if you take Alina there, then Alina might not get a good marriage proposal. Ayesha says Zeenat is right, she asks Alina to stay home. She looks at Nilofar, but Nilofar says don’t worry about me, I will find a boy for myself. She leaves with Ayesha. Zeenat smirks.
Zara comes to Irfan, Irfan says I am not feeling well, so I am not going to the Mosque, I will pray at home. Kabeer will lead the prayers. Zara says I will bring the Doctor. She asks Salma to come with her. Salma says I am not going, the Sharia board can take any decision, but I don’t agree with it.
Zara comes to the Mosque and sees separation for women, but no woman is there except one, the woman says nobody allowed their women to come here.
Ayesha and Nilofar comes there. Kabeer comes there. The Men ask Kabeer what’s the instruction? Just tell us. Khalid says Irfan is not feeling well, so Kabeer will lead the Prayers. Kabeer says I won’t lead it, I have come to pray not to lead it, I think what the Sharia board have decided is wrong and incorrect, so I am sorry. Zara stops Kabeer, she looks at him through curtain and says why are you doing this? Are women and men not equal in God’s eyes? Then why are you so miffed whenever we talk about women rights? Kabeer glares at her and walks away. All men leave from there. Zara is tensed.
Ayesha says don’t be hopeless, change doesn’t come in a night, at least you tried, one day you will surely see result, we will pray here. Zara says no, our prayers will be finished when the Vice Chiarman leads it. Ayesha says I pray that day comes fast. Zara hugs her and says you have done me a favour, you are my mother-in-law, but you came here and did what even my mother didn’t do. Ayesha says your fight is for women, I am a woman too, so will I stand with the girl that is fighting for us. Zara hugs her and thanks her, she turns to go, but Ayesha asks if she is not coming home? Zara says for sure, I can’t stay away from a Mother like you, but just wait some more. Ayesha kisses her forehead and leaves with Nilofar. Zara looks on.
Kabeer is leaving the Mosque, the Media asks why he didn’t lead the Prayers? Kabeer says because I am against the Sharia board’s decision and don’t agree to it. The Media says but you are the Vice Chiarman of the board. Kabeer says that doesn’t mean I should accept that thought, I won’t l accept women coming to the Mosques!
Zara comes there and says when all arguments are against you, then why don’t you agree with it? Kabeer says our elders have made some rules for the structure of this society and I won’t break it, I am against this decision, he leaves.
The Media asks Zara how they will pray now? Zara says we women can pray in our house, this fight is about right to pray in the Mosques and I will keep fighting for it till we get that right. The Media asks if this fight is going on, then will she be returing to her husband, Kabeer’s house anytime soon? Zara says no personal questions and leaves. Irfan sees all this on Tv.
Shahbaz is in the Car and sees the Media report too. He thinks that I am with Zara, the Chiarman’s daughter should be like that. He calls Khalid and gives him some instructions.
Irfan says to Salma that Kabeer didn’t do the right thing, today, he shouldn’t have gone against the Sharia board, he did a big mistake. Salma says this fire has been started by your daughter, if she didn’t take up this case, then this wouldn’t have happened. Khalid and some other men comes there.
Irfan does meeting with Khalid and other men. Khalid says to Irfan that we need to arrange a meeting, we want to bring a no-confidence bill against Kabeer, the person that doesn’t agree with the board decision, doesn’t have the right to be the Vice Chiarman of this board. Salma hears it. Irfan is shocked.
Amaan’s kite gets stuck on the terrace. Miraj asks him to leave it, but Amaan says I want it, Miraj says you are like your Uncle Kabeer, stubborn, I will help you. He lifts Amaan in air, so that he can get his kite back. Zeenat comes there and thinks Miraj is throwing Amaan from the terrace. She runs to Miraj and asks him to leave Amaan! She asks Amaan to go to his room, Amaan leaves. Zeenat says to Miraj that if you try to go near my son again…! Miraj says one minute, I am not as bad as you think, he leaves. Zeenat recalls how Miraj warned her that if she tried to spoil his plan, then he won’t spare Amaan.
Nilofar comes there and asks what happened? Zeenat tells her how Miraj was lifting Amaan in the air, Nilofar says don’t worry, I know how to treat my Miraj brother, dont worry about Amaan. Zeenat says thank you, I was so worried. Nilofar says don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to Amaan, but you know every work has a pay, Zeenat says what do you mean? Nilofar says we say that give money and watch the show. Zeenat gives her a gold bracelet and says please save me and my son from this devil, Miraj. Nilofar says just assume that you are safe from Miraj, he will think 100 times before coming near you and Amaan.
Kabeer comes home. Miraj comes to him and says what am I hearing? Kabeer says life is not always flowers, you get pricked from thorns too. Miraj says don’t worry, you have followers in younger generations, they are tired of old people and they like that someone is fighting for them, it can affect our Project though, but people are with you. Kabeer says all are with me and as long as I have the majority with me, then the Project won’t be in trouble.
Nilofar comes there and says no, you did wrong Kabeer, what would have happened if you had fulfilled the women’s wish? I saw how much Zara wanted that for the women, I am with Zara on this.
Ayesha comes there and says yes, I am trying to tell this to my Son, but he doesn’t listen. Kabeer says it’s not about small or big problem, we can’t go against religious teachings.
Shahbaz comes there and says you are right Kabeer, all young men agree with you. Ayesha greets him and says you have started taking Kabeer’s side? Shahbaz says this is not a house matter, so don’t get involved in that. Ayesha says he has left my daughter-in-law at her house, and this is a house matter, so tell him that I want my daughter-in-law back till evening! She leaves. Kabeer looks on.
Zara goes to the women’s houses. She says to the women till when will they keep taking the wrong side? She says voice yourselves to get your rights. A Woman says since the Media got involved in this case, our husbands have asked us to stay away from this matter. Zara says till when we will let men take decisions for us? We are humans and God will take answers from us if we did right or wrong, it’s not wrong to raise voice for ourselves, the women nod and leave.
Reema says these women are not listening. Zara says when you get married, then you will know how much pressure you have, you have to answer to your in-laws for everything, but I have to change that thought.
Irfan asks Salma where is Zara? She says she doesn’t know, can you delay this meeting for today? Irfan says the Committee wants to remove Kabeer from the board, I have to go there. Salma says just make sure injustice doesn’t happen with Kabeer, he is our Son-in-law, Irfan leaves.
Irfan says to the Committee that Khalid wants to issue bill of no-confidence against Kabeer, why? Khalid says as per the rules of the board, no member can go against the decisions taken by the board, they can never defy the board like that and Kabeer did that, which means he isn’t eligible to keep the position of the Vice Chiarman.
Irfan asks who are in favour of this bill? Khalid and the others raise hands, he asks who is against it? Few men raise their hands. Khalid says it’s clear, the bill have more votes. Irfan says give notice to Kabeer. A Member says call Zara and the other women that were witness to Kabeer’s words, Irfan nods.
Irfan comes home. Irfan says to Salma that the case will pursue against Kabeer, and Zara will be witness. Salma says what? You will do that with your Son-in-law? Irfan says I have responsibility as a Priest, Salma says yes, but you don’t care about your daughter who is sitting here leaving her husband. Salma says to Irfan that you are always focused on Sharia board, you keen caring for it, just Sharia board, and their decisions, and when will you become a father? Because of all this, my Zara and Kabeer are separating, you will stay away from the house matter now, I will do something, we are going now, he asks where? She says take Zara with us.
Salma says to Irfan that this is all because of your leniency; I will handle it, get ready, we are leaving with Zara to rectify things with Kabeer. Zara comes there and shows a Video of the Priests, talking in favour of women going to Mosques. Irfan says listen to everyone, but follow Quran only. Salma says we will not talk about work here, she asks Zara to get ready, we have to go somewhere. Zara says I am tired, Salma says get ready, dont be lazy, she says okay and goes. Salma asys I will make everything right.
Shahbaz meets Miraj and asks you here? Miraj says I am staying here for the Project. Kabeer says Miraj and Nilofar are staying here till Eid, we have to leave now. Ayesha says you are not going anywhere, I have some work.
Irfan says to Salma that tell Zara about it, she says I know what I am doing.
Zara comes there. Salma says we are going to my friend’s house.
Kabeer says I have an important work, Ayesha says you can’t leave. Shahbaz says she is not letting me leave too, I don’t know what’s so special.
Zara arrives there with Salma and Irfan. All are stunned. Kabeer glares at her, Zara recalls how he left her at her house. Zara looks at Salma, but Salma brings her to the lounge and makes her stand with Kabeer. They stares at each other. Ayesha hugs her and smiles. Zara greets her warmly. Ayesha says congrats on coming back. Alina says I missed you a lot. Amaan says we missed you. Shahbaz congratulates her for coming back and says you shouldn’t be away from your house. They all settle down. Zara tensely looks at Kabeer. Ayesha says to Zara that you are home now, I won’t let you go back. Salma says she is at her home, so she won’t go. Ayesha asks her to go and rest in her room, Zara looks at Kabeer and leaves.
Nilofar comes to Miraj’s room and says I was missing my brother, he asks her to leave! Nilofar says we have to live here, I think you should leave this house, I have taken money to send you off. Miraj says how much money you got? Nilofar says why, you will pay them? Miraj says I will double it, want to earn? Nilofar says what do I have to do? Miraj says keep an eye on everything for now, and I will tell you what to do later on, she nods and leaves, he laughs evilly.
Zara comes to her room and says husbands can be efficient, but can’t clean their rooms without their Wives. She starts cleaning the room, she looks at Kabeer’s clothes and smiles, she dreams of them dancing. Agar tum saath ho… plays. Kabeer comes there and sees her lost in thoughts. He tries to talk to her, but Zara turns to him, so he looks away. Both are tensed and not talking. Zara is eager to talk to him, but keeps avoiding it. Kabeer looks at her. Zara says you didn’t miss me? Kabeer says when did you ask me to miss you? How could you say that? She recalls how she announced that they will not live like husband and wife as long as the case is going on.
