Kabeer starts eating. Zara smiles and eats. Ruksar asks Kabeer if he left Sunnat of sitting on the floor and eating? Kabeer says never, and leaving sunnat is against real Muslims, right Chiarman? Irfan says yes, you are right. Kabeer says to say the truth, Zara told him the difference between SUNNAT – Traditions (good to follow) and FATAZ – Duty (must follow rules). Zara smiles at him.
Ruksar fumes in anger and recalls how Zara said that Kabeer will break his rules for Zara, she starts to leave, but Zeenat stops her. Salma sees it. Zara serves juice to Kabeer. Ruksar couldn’t stand to witness it, but Zeenat hints her to stay. Salma notices this, and looks on.
Kabeer serves tea to Shahbaz and says he’s very lucky to have him, but there are many people who preach religion, but they can’t earn, so he wants to open an institution to make them learn how to earn, and how to become useful. Shahbaz says his thoughts are very nice, but he thinks that he should focus on becoming the Chiarman. Kabeer says he understands and he promised to become the Chiarman, as he knows it’s his (Shahbaz) dream, but this project is his (Kabeer’s) dream and he wants to start it, but he needs some funds, and investments, which he doesn’t have. Shahbaz thinks and says okay, and whatever his project is, he should make papers for it, and tell him how much money he needs and how much profit there is, abd once he understands the terms, then he will give him the money, he leaves, and Kabeer is happy.
In the morning, Ruksar offers Namaz. Zara comes to her room with tea and says have tea. Ruksar says she brought tea for her? Zara says she always brings tea for her everyday as well, and she thought this is her last tea in this house, so she should make it for her, and be careful… it’s hot. Ruksar takes the tea cup. Zara says she has only 2 hours left, only 2, and she’s prepared, right? Ruksar angrily throws the cup away and glares at her.
Zeenat hears it and runs to her room. Zara says to Ruksar that she has booked a cab to come after 2 hours, so she should pack her bags, because she won’t be able to come back to this house, once she’s gone. Zeenat hears it and is stunned. Ruksar says she’s crossing all the limits! Zara says she will show her her limits today…, of keeping a girl in the house because of pity and bringing a girl into the house, as a Wife after Nikah, and that there is a difference between the two, and she has to show her that, and only 2 hours are left for her! Zara turns to leave, but sees Zeenat standing near the door, Zara greets her and leaves. Zeenat and Ruksar looks on.
Irfan says to Salma that he got really happy when he saw Zara and Kabeer happy. Salma says but she wasn’t happy, and everything was fine, and Ayesha takes good care of Zara too, but that girl Ruksar, she is like a prick in her eyes, and as long as she’s there, their daughter’s happiness could be tarnished. She says Kabeer’s father wants Kabeer to become the Chiarman, and remember he spoke to you about it. Irfan recalls it. Salma says make him the Vice Chiarman (your successor), besides, they don’t have anyone other than him and in return, ask Shahbaz to get Ruksar married. Irfan says yes, he talked to him about it and he told her, but she’s starting to think like Shahbaz too. Salma says in this case, you have to think like him too. Irfan looks on.
Zara is making breakfast in the Kitchen. Zeenat comes there and says she wants to have a word with her. Zara says yes? Zeenat says can you and Ruksar end this fight? Zara says it will end now, and I will be happy in my house, and she can be happy anywhere. Zeenat says you cant do that with her. Zara says I can throw her out, and you know it, because you are involved with her, as she couldn’t take such big action against me and Kabeer without her support. Zeenat tries to keep herself calm and acts emotional. Zeenat tells that she has two Children, one is Arman and the other is Ruksar. Zeenat says to Zara that Ruksar is like her daughter, and she promised her dying Mother that she would never leave her alone, and will always be with her, and if Ruksar has to leave because of Zara, then she (Zeenat) will also have to leave this house too. Zara looks on. Zeenat says her husband won’t be with her like her husband, as they will forcefully make her separate from her Son, her family will break and a Mother will be separated from a Son, so she should please forgive Ruksar, she’s just a Child, she does stupid things, and Zara has a big heart, so should please forgive her, and after today, if she does anything bad to her (Zara) again, then she, her elder sister will throw her out of the house, but please forgive her this time. Zara looks on.
Ruksaar hears them too. Zara tells her to think before taking such responsibility. Zeenat says she has thought it through, as she has been handling this house for years, and her (Zara’s) Mother-in-law can love her (Zara) a lot, but daughter-in-laws are always that, as she can’t be a real daughter, but daughter-in-laws are born to take duties, and good daughter-in-laws are those who make homes, and not break them. Zara looks on.
Zeenat pleads with her and says please save my family. Zara says fine, you are taking her responsibility, so she forgives Ruksar for the first and the last time, but if she repeats her mistakes, then remember Zara Siddiqui is a very stubborn girl! She leaves. Zeenat and Ruksar smirks. Zeenat gives her thumbs up.
Zara thinks about how Siraj showed her her fake profile, and how Ruksar challenged her to make Kabeer believe it was a fake profile of hers. Zara thinks she has done something for the first time in this house that she didn’t tell her husband, so she should tell Kabeer about it. Zara comes to her room. Kabeer is sitting there. Zara eyes him and sits in front of him, she asks what he’s thinking? Kabeer says he was thinking about his life, especially his last days at Islamic School, and like every boy, he had dreams too, and when they were returning, they had fights, arguments, and they recall their initial moments. Kabeer says he saved her from those bad guys, and then got married and the other stuff. Zara says he shouldn’t brag, and she will save him when the time comes. Kabeer says now you are in this house, are you happy? Zara nods and smiles. Kabeer says he will start a work that he has always wanted. Zara says what’s stopping him? Kabeer says he needs investment and he doesn’t have the money. Zara says his father is rich. Kabeer says but he (Kabeer) is poor, he doesn’t have anything, abd even her Dowry cheque had Shahbaz’s signature on it, not his (Kabeer). Zara makes him sit down and holds his hands, she says but you have me, I will pray for you. Zara holds his hands and says InshaAllah your project will be a success, she hugs him. Zara gets a call from Reema. Zara murmurs that Reema always calls at the wrong time.
Irfan says to Shahbaz that he’s very happy today, finally they are seeing things that they’ve always wanted to see, in Kabeer and Zara’s relations. Shahbaz says you are right, from the time they have returned from Kashmir, their relationship seems to have changed for the better. Irfan offers him sweets and says you wanted to make Kabeer the Vice Chiarman (his Successor), right? Shahbaz nods. Irfan says very soon, their Kabeer will be the Vice Chiarman of Lucknow. Shahbaz gets happy and hugs him, he kisses his hands and says what a news, they should celebrate it, and the whole city will witness this glorious moment! Irfan nods. Shahbaz makes him eat sweets. Irfan says but he has a condition. Shahbaz asks what it is? Irfan says he wants him to send Ruksar away from his house. Shahbaz says that isn’t a problem, as he will find another place for her. Irfan says he doesn’t understand his point, as he can’t ask him to throw an Orphan out of his house, but he just wants him to get her married respectfully. Shahbaz is stunned, but thinks he can do anything to make Kabeer the Chiarman. Shahbaz says okay, Irfan, what you want will happen, I will start finding a good groom for her. Irfan says we will have an oath ceremony, you start preparing. Shahbaz hugs him.
Ayesha shows Zeenat some jewelry. Zeenat says these gold bangles are so pretty. She wears them and says they look so nice on her. Ruksar likes them too. Ayesha says these are the jewelry from her own Mother-in-law and both her daughter-in-laws have the right on them Ayesha says her own Mother-in-law told her to give them to both her daughter-in-laws as per her (Ayesha’s) will. Ayesha shows her a small gold earrings and says Zeenat these are for you, they will look good on you, wear them. Zeenat is stunned and says these bangles are for? Ayesha says these are for… Zara and Kabeer comes there.
Ayesha says Zara, you came at right time, I want to give you something. Zara says yes? Ayesha asks Zeenat to give her the bangles, Zeenat takes them off. Ayesha gives them to Zara and says I want to give my family’s honour to you, these are Kabeer Grandma’s bangles, and we have had them from generations and they are taken as our respect, so please keep them safe. Zara says okay. Ayesha hugs her. Zeenat and Ruksar fumes in anger. Zara wears them. Ayesha says wow they look so nice on you. Kabeer says Zara show me your hands. He looks at the bangles in her hands. Ruksar is jealous to see them holding hands. Kabeer says his Grandma is giving her gifts? Isn’t this injustice? Ayesha says why injustice, you got such a beautiful Wife, and isn’t that enough for him? Zara raises her eyebrow at him and blushes. Kabeer is speechless and nods. Zeenat leaves from there, leaving her earrings on the floor. Ruksar sees it and takes them.
Zeenat looks at the earring in anger. Ruksar brings the other one and shows it to her, she says she has been fighting her battle up till now, but now her bad days in this house have started too, and Zara has started becoming Ayesha’s nice daughter-in-law, and if they don’t stop her now, then it’s just about time she gives them a Son, and the people in this house will forget who Zeenat is, and they will chant only Zara’s name.
Zeenat says she has a Son too. Ruksar says you have, but your son and her son will have same difference like how Kashan and Kabeer does. Zeenat says no, that can’t happen, as she’s the elder daughter-in-law of this house. Ruksar says that same elder daughter-in-law that got these smaller earrings, while the younger daughter-in-law got those expensive precious bangles on which she also had the rights to?
Ruksar tells her not to try and hide it, as Shahbaz loves Zara’s husband more than her husband and Ayesha has started taking a liking to Zara more than her (Zeenat) too, and now, Zara should leave this house, and not only for Ruksar, but for Zeenat the more!
Ruksar says only Kabeer can throw Zara out of the house. Zeenat says and why will Kabeer do that? Ruksar says Zara didn’t tell him about the fake profile, and Kabeer didn’t say anything to her (Ruksar), which means Kabeer is not fully on Zara’s side, and she (Ruksar) will use Kabeer against Zara. Zeenat says how will it happen? Ruksar says a man’s ego is way bigger than that of a woman, and they have to provoke Kabeer’s ego against Zara, and as far as she has understood, Zara has completely fallen for Kabeer, but Kabeer is just fulfilling his duty as a husband, and before she gets love in return, they will have to start a fire between them! The Servant calls them down.
Shahbaz comes home. He calls everyone to the lounge. He says to Kabeer that he’s really proud of him. Kabeer says thank you, but I do not understand. Shahbaz makes everyone eat sweets, Ayesha asks the occasion? Shahbaz says Kabeer is going to become the Vice Chiarman (Successor) of the City. They are all happy to hear it.
Ruksar recalls how Shahbaz has promised her to get Kabeer when he becomes the Chiarman. Shahbaz says the Oath Ceremony will happen here very soon. Ayesha says she knows this had been his biggest dream, and she won’t leave any room for the celebrations right, Zara? Zara says yes, everyone will be talking about this Ceremony.
Ruksar is sitting and smiling, Zeenat is cooking and asks her for her help, but she’s still day dreaming, Zeenat ask what she is thinking of? Ruksar says it seems like our times are going to come, and it seems like Shahbaz is going to fulfil his promises to her. Zeenat says you are trusting him again? Ruksar says she’s trusting the situation, abd making Kabeer the Chiarman is his obsession, and she (Ruksar) will be a good daughter-in-law than Zara, and he knows this, or maybe he isn’t as bad as they imagined. Zeenat says but Kabeer can’t become the Chiarman as long as Irfan is still alive. Ruksar says yes, and for Kabeer to become the Chiarman, Irfan has to either give his resignation or he has to die and Irfan has to leave whichever ways, and if there is no Irfan, then there is no Zara here. Zeenat says she doesn’t trust Shahbaz, as they don’t know how Kabeer will become the Chiarman. Ruksar says she will think like Shahbaz in this.
Kabeer is getting ready for the Ceremony. Zara tells him he’s looking nice, she puts brooch on his outfit and says congrats on being Vice Chiarman. Kabeer says he hadn’t become one yet, Zara says she will still congratulate him, with him being the Vice Chiarman, and hey will be able to work on his Project more easily. Kabeer says he hopes so.
The Ceremony starts, Irfan makes Kabeer wear a turban and announces to the people that Kabeer is going to become the Vice Chiarman and people will offer Namaz behind Kabeer after him, everyone smiles.
Ruksar eyes Kabeer. Zeenat asks her to not stare too much. Salma says to Zara that congrats, she’s a female Doctor/Priestess now. Zara says no, she doesn’t want to be a Doctor, she just wants to be a best guide for Kabeer. Everyone makes Kabeer and Zara wear garlands. Irfan hugs Zara and Kabeer. Irfan and Salma leaves.
Ruksar says to Kabeer that what if Irfan had a Son and was able to become the Vice Chiarman, then what would he do? Kabeer looks on.
Shahbaz calls someone and says yes, we will meet soon, he ends the call. Ruksar comes there with his tea and says congrats to Kabeer, becoming the Vice Chiarman. She tells that she came to remind him of his promise to her, as he promised to give her Kabeer after he becomes the Chiarman. Shahbaz says yes, he remembers everything. Shahbaz recalls how he got to know that Ruksar was behind the Kashmir’s fiasco.
Zeenat comes there too. Ruksar tells him to please give her back her Kabeer. Shahbaz says he promised that he would get her married, and he will fulfill it, so she just wait till tomorrow. Ruksar gets happy.
Kabeer says to Zara that she can congratulate him now. Zara says you congratulate me, and from now on, we will work together in the Sharia board for the betterment of the people, and we will work as a Couple. Kabeer looks on, he’s about to answer her, but Ayesha calls Zara, so she leaves.
In the morning, Zara greets Kabeer. She thinks that her husband is working with her father, so he should wear nice clothes, and she shouldn’t forget that she’s not only a part of the board, but also the Wife of the Vice Chiarman. She brings out Kabeer’s clothes and irons them. Kabeer comes out of the bathroom wearing only pants. Zara is mesmerized to see his body, she couldn’t bring herself to look away, she recalls their moments in Kashmir. Kabeer sees her staring at him. Zara blushes, she quickly looks away and runs from there. She locks herself up in the washroom and laughs being caught, while checking him out. Adha ishq… song plays.
Zara gets ready, Kabeer asks where’s she going? Zara says she’s also a part of the Sharia board, and they had done all the necessary things, so she should return to work. Kabeer says the guests are coming, and she should help Ayesha and Zeenat in the house, as she’s a daughter-in-law of this house. Zara says she can handle both works, but Kabeer tells her to first help in the house, he turns to leave, but Ruksar comes there and says Ayesha is calling Zara. Kabeer smirks at Zara and leaves.
Zara is working in the Kitchen. Alina asks who is coming? Ruksar says Shahbaz’s VIP guests are coming. Ruksar thinks today, Zara will be out of the house.
Kabeer is busy working, Zara calls him, but he misses it. Zara thinks where is Kabeer?
Ruksar says to Zeenat that she’s so happy today, and she will get Kabeer today, as Shahbaz has promised. Zeenat asks why she keeps trusting him, besides, they do not know who is coming today. Ruksar says don’t worry, he will fulfill his promise today, since he told her that she will get Kabeer when he becomes the Chiarman.
