Plot


Sobia and Asif's fathers died on the same day during their childhood. While Sobia's father mistreated his second daughter for being a girl, Asif was dearly loved by his father, being his only son. The lives of the two children take particularly drastic turns externally as well as internally. Asif's mother gets remarried for financial support of her son and endows herself in care of Asif's foster brother, Amir.
Few years pass and it’s shown that Asif has become a wild man who rebels against his step-father and keeps to himself due to mistreatment and absence of love by others in life, while Sobia becomes a selfish girl who values her own life above everything else and is happier after her father's death. Amir is sent abroad by his father for higher studies to make Asif jealous. Sobia starts staying with her uncle Majid, as his house isn’t far from her medical college. There, she meets Asif. Asif dislikes Sobia as he believes she took his opportunity for him to pursue higher studies like Amir. Asif starts to fall in love with Sobia when he dreams about her comforting him during a panic attack. Soon, they become friends and find themselves in love with each-other but keep it a secret. Asif starts a job in a private company and goes abroad for one year so he can prove himself to everyone and marry Sobia. Meanwhile, Amir returns after completing his studies. He falls in love with Sobia without knowing Asif and her are dating. Majid finds out and wants his son to marry his niece, Sobia. Majid asks Muneera to talk to Sobia's mother for their proposal. Muneera tries to resist as she wanted Asif to marry Sobia because she knew about their relationship but couldn't. She visits Sobia's house with Amir's proposal for Sobia. She talks to her mother and her mother says she’ll have to ask Sobia. Sobia, listening to their conversation, agrees for the marriage. She was already engaged to her other cousin, who is her childhood best friend as well, Tahir who was in Dubai for a job with the reference of his sister. Sobia’s reasoning for why she agreed was because she couldn't refuse her uncle for his son's proposal as her uncle sponsored her medical education as well as gave her the same lifestyle she always wished for. They get married in a nikkah ceremony and on the same day, Asif comes back. He is confused because he doesn’t know who was getting married, until Sobia lifts her veil and reveals herself to be Amir’s bride. Heartbroken, he fights with his mother but all in vain. He tries to talk to Sobia who gets angry at him and yells at him to forget what happened between them as she is now married to Amir. Muneera forcefully marries Asif to her niece, Sadaf, whose mother is a cancer patient. On the night of Sobia and Amir’s wedding, Asif enters Sobia’s room while Amir is outside with his friends. He tries to convince Sobia to divorce Amir and run away and start a new life with him as he is still under the impression that Sobia was pressured into marrying Amir, but she disagrees and tells him to leave. He gets angry and dishevels her look and pushes her harshly which causes her to become unconscious. After Asif leaves, Amir goes in and assumes that Asif had raped her. He gets his gun and threatens to shoot Asif, Muneera tries to stop him which results in her accidentally getting shot. She dies. Amir becomes mentally unstable. Majid surrenders himself to the police claiming that he shot his wife and goes to jail.
Few years later, Asif becomes wealthy after he inherits his boss’s wealth and has become the CEO of a successful company, and has no contact with anyone. Sobia becomes a surgeon and lives somewhere else with Amir and their house-help. Tahir and his family have cut all ties with Sobia. Sadaf and her mother are living alone with no contact with Asif or his mother which causes them to think that Muneera has abandoned them, unaware of the fact that she had died. Sadaf, who is deeply in love with Asif since childhood, prays for Asif to come back and take her with him as she is afraid she will be alone when her mother passes away. She and her mother get sent money every month to look after the house expenses which they refuse this time as they think that there is no use to keep this money if their loved ones aren’t in contact with them. Asif learns about this and finally goes to Sadaf’s house. Sadaf tries to wake her mother but gets anxious when she doesn’t respond, Asif arrives and it’s confirmed that she died. Meanwhile, Tahir gets to know about Sobia’s whereabouts and visits her, she reveals everything that happened on the night of her wedding, including that Amir still believes that Sobia was raped by Asif which she was not. Tahir and Sobia start seeing each-other almost everyday and he advises her to leave Amir as she is wasting her life away by staying with a mentally unstable man to which she refuses.
Asif brings Sadaf to his mansion, she refuses to stay there and keeps asking to go back to her mother’s home as Asif does not care about her or give her the attention she wants. Asif gets to know the reason behind Sadaf’s behavior which makes him think that he should be more gentle and caring with her. Asif and Sadaf start getting closer, until one day Asif gets shot by the previous CEO’s step-son as they want his inheritance. He gets admitted to the same hospital where Sobia operates as a surgeon. They both meet again and Asif starts having the same feelings for Sobia and asks her to marry him but she disagrees. He starts blaming his mother for everything and then Sobia reveals to him that his mother had died. With a heavy heart, he visits his mother’s grave and tells her that he is now a successful man all thanks to her prayers. After meeting Sobia again, Asif has turned into the same angry, cold hearted man he was before with Sadaf which makes her really upset.
One day, Amir asks Sobia to let him meet Asif as he feels guilty and wants to apologize to him, fulfilling his request she calls Asif to come over to her house. When Asif arrives Amir feels emotional and apologizes to him but Asif expresses his anger and tells him that he and his father took away everything that was meant for him including his mother, Amir begs for forgiveness and Asif forgives him and Majid despite everything on Sobia’s request.
