In the morning, Zara and Reema are on their way out, when Salma suddenly asks her why she has to go to the parlor, as she could bring the beautician here. Reema says they can’t do everything in the house, and she will get a better treatment there. Zara makes sad face and says leave it Reema, they will get ready in the house then. Salma says no listen, fine you both go with Shubratan(the Servant). Zara and Reema are tensed.
Reema and Zara sits on the Scooty. Shubratan asks where will she sit as the Scooty doesn’t have space? Zara says take a rickshaw and come, they are getting late already, she leaves with Reema.
Shahbaz asks Kashan (Zeenat’s husband) why the Bridegroom’s car isn’t decorated yet? Kashan says Kabir is not at home, he left with his Car. Alina says Kabir told her that he is going with Imran for servicing his Car. Shahbaz says right now? Alina says he will come back. They all look on.
Zara is getting ready in the parlor. Reema says he has come. Zara goes to meet him. Song Mana k hum yaar nahi plays… Kabir comes inside the parlour and sees Zara trying to tackle her flowing hair, he is mesmerized with her beauty. He sees Zara covering her head with dupatta, Zara doesn’t see him admiring her though. Kabir is completely lost in her.
Zara looks at him, and he points to the door, she passes by him and Kabir holds his breath and goes to the room with her. Zara says to Kabir that they will get married in some hours. Kabir says and she doesn’t want that marriage to happen…, I mean we don’t want that, but there is one way, they will both say NO at the time of the Nikah (Wedding). Zara says she will say NO too, as they didn’t leave her any choice. Kabir says at the time of the Nikah, their Parents will emotionally blackmail them, complain to them about their insult, but they will still have to say NO. Zara says that’s because they didn’t leave them with any choice, and even if after they’ve said no, they will say NO at the time of the marriage now.
Reema says they’re both perfect for each other, then why are they breaking it off? Zara says this is not what she wanted, she just wants a husband that can treat his Wife with respect, that would take her to the beach, have long walks with her barefooted, just having someone who can do anything for his Wife and will love her unconditionally. Zara says she doesn’t want a husband that would make her his Servant in the name of religion, and if she finds someone that she likes, then she will marry him. Kabir says he also doesn’t want to marry a girl who twists Islamic rules because of her stubbornness, and tell them to people, and if he finds a woman who follows his religion rightly, then he will marry her, which is why they both don’t want to marry. He turns to leave, but Zara says remember we both have to say NO for Nikah.
Zara gets ready as a bride. Salma comes to her and blesses her. Zara is not happy. Salma says she thinks this is a joke? Zara says she has made her life a joke by not listening to her, and she doesn’t want to do this marriage. Salma says if she says NO in the Nikah, then it will crush her father’s respect in the society. Zara says if she cares so much about respect, then she should have thought of it when she kept saying NO to this marriage, she says she will not back down, and she will definitely say NO in the Nikah too.
The Country’s Chiarman says to Kabir that Mahr (Dowry to Be Given by the Husband to the Bride in Islamic Marriage) is given to the Wife at the time of the marriage, as it’s the Wife’s right, and he has to give her whatever his pocket allows. Shahbaz says Kabir recently completed his studies, so he will pay meher on his behalf from his share in the Property, he says he wants to give 1 crore (10,000,000) in Mahr. Irfan says but it’s a lot. Shahbaz says it’s no problem, he will pay it right now. Reema comes to Irfan and informs him about Zara.
Irfan comes to Salma, Salma says Zara is saying NO to the marriage. Irfan says he will talk to her alone. He comes to her room. Zara says if she sent him here to force her to say yes then she won’t listen to him today, as she also has the right to say NO to the Marriage, and religion has given her that right. Irfan says her father who teaches religion to others will go against it for his daughter? He says all Parents thinks of the best for their kids, as it’s their duty to find a nice boy for her to spend the rest of her life with, and thet have fulfilled their duty, but after that, religion has given her the complete right to accept their choice or not. He says they have this Nikah, so their Parents can’t force them, he says he won’t force her, as he knows she kept saying NO for this Marriage and they thought it’s her Childishness, he says it’s their mistake for ever thinking that she would change her mind at the end, but now, her Mom thinks that if she says NO to the Nikah, then they will be insulted, and they won’t be able to show their face to the Society, but he feels that if his daughter goes against her wil, and say yes just because of him, then he won’t be able to forgive himself, as Nikah is a lifelong decision, and he can’t send her to where she doesn’t want to go, and her happiness is the most precious to him, so he won’t let anyone force anything on her, neither Kabir, nor Salma. He says at the time of the Nikah, she should asks her heart to say either YES or NO. He adds that even if he lost his Chiarman’s position, he doesn’t care, they will change their City to some other place, but he will never go against his religion, nor would he kill his daughter’s happiness, so do what your heart desires, he leaves. Zara looks on.
Imran asks Kabir what he is up to and dies he want to break his father’s heart or that of himself? Kabir looks on.
Salma comes to Irfan and says what will happen now? What answer will they give to the people? Irfan tells her not to worry about it, as he has given Zara her right, so it’s her choice. Zara comes there. Irfan says it’s her choice if she says YES or NO. Irfan holds Zara’s hand. Zara is dressed as a bride, she sadly looks at Salma and goes to the wedding venue with Irfan.
Imran says to Kabir who is dressed as a groom that he should get ready to be sacrificed, as nothing is left, and his bride will soon come and he will be married. Kabir says what didn’t happen till now will happen now! Zeenat hears it and smirks.
Ruksar asks Zeenat to wipe her tears, as people can see her tears. Zeenat says people should know Shahbaz’s nature too. Ruksar says she promised her that in exchange of her life, that she won’t tamper with this marriage? Zeenat says her own Sister is a fool, and if she didnt get Zara and Kabir married, then she would have been the one getting married to Kabir now. Ruksar says Zara has only gotten Kabir, but she will get the Chiarman, Kabir. Zeenat is stunned and looks on and says what? Ruksar says Kabir is in her fate and it can’t change. Zeenat says he’s getting married and she’s saying this…, has she gone mad? Ruksar says she has to take big decisions for things like this, and this was what Shahbaz said to her. Zeenat looks on.
Zara arrives at the Wedding Venue. She gets down from the Car and holds Irfan’s hand, she is tensed. Ameer e Karwan song plays… as Zara walks down the aisle. She emotionally looks at Irfan, who is also emotional, he recalls “in childhood when she asked him (Irfan) to send her to an English medium school, and he sent her there, then she got selected for a debate competition, but she said NO, as her Parents won’t let her go to Delhi alone, he (Irfan) then says he can’t let her go there alone, but he can go there with her.” Zara also recalls how “she got selected for University and her Mother was against her, leaving the City, but Irfan allowed her to go, and promised to pacify her Mother for her.“
Zara then recalls her Mother’s words “that insulting her Parents is a Sin.” Irfan takes her to the Wedding Stage and leaves her hand. Zara recalls Irfan’s words “that he doesn’t care about his position, but just her happiness.” Irfan is in tears. Zara is emotional to see it
Zara and Kabir sits on each side of the Curtain. The Priest asks Zara if she accepts her marriage with Kabir? Zara recalls Salma’s words “that their family will lose all respect if she says no.” She also recalls how Irfan “has asked her to follow her heart” and how she promised Kabir “that they will say NO at the time of the Nikah.” They all look on.
At the Wedding, the Priest asks Zara if she accepts her marriage with Kabir Ahmed? Zara recalls Irfan’s words “that say yes if her heart tells her to.” She also recalls Salma’s words “to not disrespect and dishonour them infront of everyone.” Zara recalls her promise to Kabir “that they will both say NO in Nikah.”
The Priest asks Zara again. Zara sees Irfan looking down, dejected. She recalls Salma telling her “that her her father has always fulfilled her wishes and it’s her time to repay him back.” Zara says I accept it, I do. The Priest asks her again, and she says I do. Kabir is stunned.
The Priest says to Kabir that we are marrying you with Zara Siddiqui, do you accept it? Zara thinks Kabir please say NO. Kabir glares at her. He recalls how Zara promised that they will both say NO. Kabir thinks she promised to say NO, but said YES instead. Kabir says I accept it. Zara is stunned. The Priest asks him two more times and Kabir also says I do. They are now officially Married. They all hug each other happily, while Zara is in tears.
The Priest says to Zara that this is the Nikah’s papers, read them before signing. Zara reads it and says what is this? The Priest says this is the DOWRY amount, and they want to give it now, he gives her 10 million cheque. Zara thinks so all this has was planned initially? She glares at Kabir and says this Nikah paper is incomplete. She says only what they are giving, it’s written in it, but the dowry her father is giving, it’s not written there.
Shahbaz says Islam doesn’t allow dowry and they didn’t ask her for anything. The Priest says he’s doing things as per his will. Zara says but she never asked for 10 million dowry, and they’re giving it out as per their own will? Shahbaz gets angry and says what is all this…? And giving dowry at the time of the Wedding is part of Islam!
Irfan says yes, but Zara isn’t wrong either. The Teacher says Zara is right, Nikah is like a Contract, and it is a two way thing, and if Irfan has given her anything with a Stamp paper, then he’d attach it with the Nikah papers. Irfan gives some slip to the Priest who adds it in the Nikah papers. Zara reads it. She recalls how she asked Kabir if had to choosen the divorce way, then which way would he have choosen it? Kabir then said Instant divorce.
Zara says she wants to take out one thing from the Nikah, she says God forbid if it comes to divorce, then Kabir can’t give her instant divorce. The Teacher tells her to write it in the papers. Ruksaar thinks if they don’t get divorced, then she won’t be able to ever get Kabir again. Shahbaz says but…, The Teacher says she has to write it. The Priest cuts down Kabir’s right to give her divorce by just saying it three times. Zara and Kabir signs the Nikah papers. They glare at each other. Imran comes there and says a Poetry for them. Kabir glances at Zara.
Kabir comes to the Women part of the Wedding Venue. Reema asks him to greet them nicely, and only then, will he get gifts. Imran says he doesn’t know, so you make him see it. Reema greets them. Imran says be blessed and get married soon, they all laugh.
Ayesha says they shouldn’t tease his Son. Imran says let them do it, as he’s taking their precious thing, Zara. Ayesha asks Kabir to greet them, he does. Reema makes a Child sit in Kabir’s lap and says this is his gift. Imran says he got one in just Salami (Salutation), then how many of it will he get in dowry? They all laugh.
Salma says to Zara that she knows Zara is very stubborn, but she can never hurt her father, and the way she has handled this house, now that house is hers, so should take care of that house as hers.
Ayesha comes there and says Zara is their daughter and I promise she will fulfill all her duties happily, she will light up our house now, it’s time to go now, so Zara looks on.
Zara is leaving the Venue for Bidai (the farewell). She sees Irfan sadly standing there. She runs to him. Irfan says what you did today…, Zara says she tried so much to say NO, but she just couldn’t because she loves her Parents the most in this world. Irfan and Salma hugs her and cries. Irfan wipes her tears and looks away. Zara falls into Salma’s arms and cries. Shubratan (the Servant) and Reema hugs her too. They are all emotional. Reema is crying and Imran offers her handkerchief which has ‘Zara & Reema – Best friends’ written on it, she is surprised, he says he knew she would miss Zara a lot, so he got it made.
Zara sits in the Car. Salma folds hands in front of Ayesha. Ayesha stops her and hugs her. Irfan hugs Shahbaz. They all sit in the Car. Kabir sits beside Zara but looks away. Zara hugs Salma one last time and the Car drives away.
Zara and Kabir are brought to Shahbaz’s home. Imran jokes to protect them from evil cast. Alina says she has already done that. Ayesha says to Kabir and Zara that take God’s name and look at each others faces in this mirror. She asks Zeenat to hold thr Quran for them. Zeenat smirks and looks at the Chandlier. Zeenat holds the Quran over their heads. The Chandlier is hanging above the mirror, but a Piece of the Chandelier suddenly breaks and falls over the mirror which shatters. They all look on. Kabir and Zara looks at each other. Zeenat says oh God, the mirror broke at this auspicious ocassion, so this must be a bad omen, they all look on.
Ayesha says the mirror is a delicate thing, that can easily break, so it’s not a big thing. Zeenat says, but the ritual won’t be fulfilled, but it’s okay. Zeenat says remove this broken mirror, and poor Zara’s first step into this house went wrong, which makes Zara’s first ritual incomplete. They all look on. Zeenat says it’s okay. She says the bride and the groom must be tired, so bring tea for them. She moves the Quran in her hands and they all notice that it’s bending, so it’s not a Quran, but some other thing covered in a cloth. Kabir is stunned. Zara notices it too. Ayesha takes the Quran from her and opens the cover, only to find some other book inside. All are shocked. Ayesha is in tears and slaps her in front of everyone. Ayesha says she destroyed her Son and daughter-in-law’s first happiness, and she has always taken her daughter-in-laws as her own daughters, but some women like Zeenat always forces them to be strict, as she was only fooling them, and today, she takes away all that rights from hee, as an elder daughter-in-law, and as from today onwards, Zara will take up the duties of her elder daughter-in-law. Zara says one minute, she is my sinner so I should punish her, and that rights should remain with people who should have them. Zara says she doesn’t want anything, abd whatever she did was her thoughts, l but she forgives her and do not want anything.
Ayesha says she’s proud of Zara. Zara says so what if her first step was not right, but they can always take the right steps. She holds Zeenat’s hand and asks if she can show her her room? Kashan asks her to take her there. Zeenat clutches her hand and takes her there.
