Today’s episode opens with Seher recalling that Mahid forcefully made her drink bitter medicine. She questions whether he is now observing its effect on her. Seher says that even her rabbits are still not fine and asks her mother to come closer. Kausar touches her forehead and confirms that she does not have a fever. Mahid also states that she has no temperature and that she only fainted, but now she is better. He says they should talk and excuses himself from the room.
Seher Confesses Her Plan to Kausar
Kausar questions Seher about what is happening and why she keeps hurting her own emotions repeatedly. Seher first asks her to close the door. She reveals that she had planned to escape but Usman has arranged to send her and Mahid away to a distant mansion. Thinking about that arrangement made her faint. Kausar is shocked and asks if she is being sent alone with Mahid. Seher assures her that Mahid has promised they will stay in separate rooms. However Kausar says that after what she recently witnessed she does not believe they will be able to stay away from each other in that mansion.
Seher comforts her mother. She explains that she is drinking the medicine only to gather the courage to go and submit her examination form. She says she gets angry at Mahid and will not let him come close to her. She tells her mother to stop worrying and instead focus on how to get out of the room without anyone finding out. Kausar admits she feels anxious. Seher starts tying together all her dupattas to make a rope. Kausar says her health is not good and she will not be able to handle this. Seher reminds her that she is her daughter and repeats that when the destination is clear paths find their own way. She asks her to trust her.
Husna’s Dangerous Plan
Nazima recalls Usman’s words and in anger is about to smash a glass. Husna stops her and complains that she keeps breaking things whenever she gets angry. Nazima says everything is already shattered and Mahid is busy taking care of Seher and even bringing medicine for her. She cannot tolerate watching this. Now they are also going on a honeymoon and once they are alone separating them will become impossible.
Meanwhile Husna mixes salt water with a strange powder. Nazima asks why she is adding so many things to the water and whether she plans to apply it to a wound. Husna says this is all because of Wasim, and the salt solution is meant to worsen Seher’s condition. She reveals that once Seher drinks this water she will experience dizziness and vomiting. If she keeps vomiting how will she go on her honeymoon? Husna challenges them to see how she manages then.
The Escape Attempt from the Balcony
Seher and Kausar proceed with their escape plan. Using the dupatta rope Seher attempts to climb down from the balcony. Kausar fears something may happen to her. Seher says she has practiced this since childhood. Whenever Prevez came home she used to climb walls to go study, and this wall is not any higher.
At the same time, Mahid is reviewing files and opens the window, thinking about Seher. He fails to notice her escaping. Husna approaches Seher’s room with the salt water and starts knocking on the door. Seher and Kausar hear her voice. Seher asks her mother if she can handle it. Kausar agrees to manage the situation.
Mahid drops a file but still does not notice Seher climbing down. He also hears Husna knocking.
Fareed and Sultana Investigate
Meanwhile Fareed brings Sultana to Kausar’s house. Sultana remarks that it is a colony area. Fareed shows her the house and says she should go alone while he waits outside. He explains that if he goes inside a scene might be created and they will not get any useful information.
Sultana says she is worried about Amal’s safety. Fareed mentions that he once had a fight with Kausar’s husband, Prevez. Sultana questions why he fought with the husband of a domestic worker. Fareed warns her to choose her words carefully and says Prevez started the fight by accusing him regarding Kausar.
Sultana observes that not only she but even Kausar’s husband suspected an affair. Fareed insists he was only trying to help Kausar and Seher and would help again if needed. He urges her to gather information about Amal.
Kausar Covers Up
Husna continues knocking asking why the door is not being opened. Kausar quickly arranges pillows under the blanket to make it look like Seher is in bed. Mahid asks Husna what happened. She says Seher is not opening the door.
Kausar opens it and lies that Seher is unwell and has vomited repeatedly. She says she cleaned everything and put her to bed. Mahid grows worried and tries to check on Seher but Kausar stops him saying she has just fallen asleep and needs rest.
Husna insists that the salt water will make her better and attempts to remove the blanket. Kausar grabs her hand and stops her saying she knows her daughter well and waking her now will require hospitalization. Mahid agrees that Kausar understands Seher better and says she will take care of her. Husna and Mahid leave.
Suspicion Outside the House
Safia notices Fareed standing outside and questions why he is peeking into the house. Fareed asks who she is. She replies that he may not recognize her but she knows him well and accuses him of hovering around the neighborhood. She implies that whenever someone is about to raise their hand in wrongdoing they behave like this. She also suggests that Kausar has become fearless toward her husband because of him.
Fareed refuses to engage with her insults. Sultana overhears everything. She tells Fareed that perhaps she is not the only one suspecting something. Fareed says he may be the best doctor in the city but he cannot treat suspicion which grows in the heart and mind. He insists his intentions are pure.
Sultana’s Visit and Kausar’s Fear
Sultana enters Kausar’s house. Ashad opens the door. She asks about Kausar and he says he does not know where she went but she was worried about Seher’s tenth-grade form and may have gone out for that reason. Sultana warns him not to inform anyone otherwise Kausar may get into trouble and Seher might not be able to sit for her exam.
Kausar prays that no one discovers the truth and hopes Seher submits the form quickly. Seher runs on the road, noticing only 35 minutes are left. She prays for strength and worries about leaving Kausar alone. She fears that if she returns home bigger problems will arise.
Husna Fuels Doubt, Mahid Begins to Suspect
Husna provokes Mahid saying Seher is hiding something and she needs to check the room once. Mahid says he still feels Seher may be pretending to be sick. Husna claims Kausar did not let anyone see Seher’s face and suspects she has run away.
Mahid argues that he personally saw how unwell Seher was and requests Husna not to pursue this matter further. Offended Husna says that when Seher betrays him and runs away he will come to her for answers. She calls Seher deceitful and leaves. Mahid reasons that Seher could barely walk so how could she run? The doctor had said her dizziness was due to stress and Kausar’s concern is natural for a mother. However suspicion lingers.
He eventually notices the dupatta rope hanging from the balcony and becomes alarmed.
Seher Collapses
On the way Seher feels dizzy again. Weak and exhausted she collapses unconscious on the road while racing against time to submit her examination form. Meanwhile Amal waits anxiously outside the board office fearing that if more time passes neither Seher nor Kausar will make it in time.
Precap: Husna informs Nazima that Seher is not in her room. Nazima questions how they can confirm whether she is inside or not. Mahid heads to check Seher’s room himself.
