Losses in business have placed Durdana under strain. She believes that getting her daughter married to Iftikhar is the only way to relieve this burden. She talks to Aliya about Iftikhar often, and Aliya acknowledges that she likes Iqbal more and doesn't have a crush on Iftikhar. Iqbal is not acceptable to Durdana. Aliya, however, is of the opinion that life should be spent with the people she loves. Durdana has no intention of accepting this connection.
