I do 30 March 2022: haider remembers humaira’s words, and screams out that he didnt come here to leave, as he has come to take revenge and balance the due 17 years back. He takes out a paper cutting, remembering how he had gone to the doll factory, with zoya, his sister and his aunt. Their mother goes inside the doll factory, while they are playing outside.
Haider keeps his sister busy in playing. soon they see the fire and are stunned. Haider walks in to hear razia and mamujaan’s conversation, wherev razia says that she had no other option other than killing that girl, who would have defamed them in the society, due to carrying mamujaan’s illegitimate relation with her. razia says that noone would find out that she killed the lady, and rashid would
forever blame himself for this. haider, in the present state says that when he got conscious, he realised that it had been too late, and that noone was there with him, he had lost his sister and his aunt. His father died too due to the trauma and mother too due to the unbearable load of loans on their heads. He had lost everything in an instant. he says that razia and mamu are responsible for this, and they had started this story but he would finish this story, by taking his revenge on them. He says that he has nothing left other than his revenge, as he has already lost his mother, father, aunt and cousin.
Meanwhile, zoya too sees that same dream, of the fire in the factory, and wonders why did she dream after such a long time. she says that it feels as if some important person is here with her, whose herse, and that she isnt alone. she says that she has lost everything once, hence asad and his family mean so much to him, and hence she would have to find this truth.
Razia says that the fire is catching upto her after 17 years, and this fire would have to be doused, and before zolya can unravel the secret, she would have to be thrown out of the house. haider says that the fire may have been doused, but its still simmering, and first person to be trapped would be humaira. haider says that he would trap humaira, in his love and then break her heart. he says that he would give her so much pain, that lfie would be a burden on her, as he has no other option to torment razia.
Dilshad is surprised to find zoya tensed, wanting to sleep with her. she asks whats the matter, if it was another dream. zoya says that she thought that she had gotten rid of the past, but it wasnt so. Dilshad assures her that she is right here, and that zoya should sleep. zoya says that she tried to, but asad scolded her. as she goes on to vent her frustration, dilshad is amused, but asks her to go to sleep, and she would scold asad. Dilshad puts her to sleep, while zoya even in her sleep, tries to recount what all she saw and where she had searched. She wakes up with a start, and wakes dilshad too, and says that she didnt search razia’s room and is sure that the papers are there. Zoya boasts off saying that this work has to be done in typical zoya smartness. dilshad asks her to elaborate. Zoya goes into her impromptu poetry mode, much to dilshad’s despair:
Tree ugega wahi, jaya gayab that boya,
kaun sa aisa kaam hai, jo nahi kar sakti great zoya.
Dilshad praises her and asks her to go to sleep once again.

Nikhat asks, when farhan questions whats all this, if they can have a romantic evening, just the two of them.
He is shy making her nervous, but she is relieved when he smiles. Farhan says that he would just go and freshen up. after he goes to the bathroom, someone clutches at her dupatta, and as she turns around, she doesnt find anyone, and is scared. She is very scared of someone else’s presence. the lights of the the candles go off, and she hits her leg on something and falls on the ground. Just then, she finds ragged footsteps, in anklets, walking out of the room. She is shit scared.
She goes berserk, and gets farhan out of the bathroom and into their room, where she finds the dupatta burning. The entire family tries to convince that the candles may have burnt the dupatta. Nikhat tries to explain what she went through. haseena is tensed, when she mentions someone’s presence. haseena tries to divert their attention saying that nikhat is concocting a story to get farhan’s attention.
but imran refuses to believ it, and he along with nazma, tries to present a logical conclusion too. haseena asks farhan to put her off to sleep,a s she;s disturbed and they all retire. After they are gone, farhan asks nikhat to relax. nikhat says that they may believe what they want to, and whatever happend was weird, and that she had seen someone, which is a sign of anger and hatred, that someone is unable to see her happy.

He leaves the room, while she is distraught and tries to stop him.

She doesnt realise that the papers are lying underneath the bed. razia and mamu enter, while zoya hides in the closet. raZia is shocked when she sees zoya hiding in the closet. Zoya makes up for the situation, by cracking a joke, saying that this is her house, and she can do whatever she wants with it. mamu is angry, but zoya keeps her calm, and gets on the bed, clarifying that this is rashid’s property,
and hence she has a direct claim on this. Zoya reminds mamujaan that rashid has a bigger stake in the business and hence because it belongs to asad, they have a bigger claim on it than mamu. razia asks her to prove it, by showing the papers, as they wont believe hearsay. zoya is speechless. Razia gets her chance to say that she should show if there is anything. dilshad comes in asking whats happening. Razia taunts her too in the name of the papers, or leave if they cant produce the papers.
zoya asks her to be silent and calm down, as she can show them the papers, and produces a bunch of papers, shocking mamujaan and razia. As mamu sees the papers, zoya asks what did they think, that zoya wouldnt have proof and is just saying for the heck of it. she asks them to leave in one corner, and particularly read a clause that staes that if they try to pose a hindrance, they can have a lawsuit filed against them. As mamujaan is about to read, zoya distracts him again, by calling the servant to pack up his things from the closet.
zoya says that he wont read the papers if he was her, as that would just hurt them more, and they wouldnt look forward to hearings in court, that would take care of the rest of the savings, as they have already lost out on their business. razia is about to speak, but mamu asks her not to create a drama over a room. razia is shocked, but mamu insists on her to leave.

He thinks that he is, but says that he just wants to help her.
she says that she doesnt need help. He says that mamu would never ask him to leave, as they have a project happening together, and if he stops that, they would be in huge trouble. Hence she shouldnt increase their troubles. He goes onto emotionally blackmail her into not telling them anything. Humaira is frustrated and leaves from there. after she is gone, haider eyes her angrily.

Razia is frustrated when she finds sand in her paandaan. Zoya plays a cruel joke on them, by mixing sand in her paandaan, and having a good hearty laugh at it, while razia and mamujaan are super angry at her. Razia says that zoya maybe shrewd but very small in front of razia, who will outsmart her, as she knows the papers are blank and she would play her bet now.
later, haider compliemtnjs her for teaching razia a good lesson. Humaira tells haider that even she cant believe that she could do this. Humaira overhears them, and realises that they are together playing a cruel joke and conspiring against them, but she is determined that she wont let happen for very long. haider compliements her saying well done chutki, that he used to say to his cousin who he lost in the fire in the doll factory.
