In The Morning
Aira woke up at 10 am and realized Umer was not in bed. As she got up from the couch, she opened the curtains to let the sunlight in, only to discover a balcony outside. Facepalming herself in embarrassment, she recalled telling Ahmed she came downstairs for fresh air, unaware there was a balcony in her own bedroom. She appreciated Ahmed's discretion, realizing he didn't expose her to save her from further embarrassment. Stepping onto the balcony, she noticed several flower pots, a table with two chairs, and a couch on the other side.
Just then, she heard the bathroom door open, and Umer emerged wearing office pants but no shirt, a towel draped around his neck. Quickly averting her gaze, Aira stood up, intending to wait until he put on his shirt before entering the room. When she finally entered, Umer, looking at her through the mirror, asked, "What's your name? I forgot." She looked at him with disbelief that he don't even know the name of his wife then she replied"Aira." As she turned to leave, Umer called her back, "Aira, don't mention anything about last night to our parents, okay? Tell them everything was fine." Aira, meeting his gaze, questioned, "Why should I lie to them?" Umer, stepped closer to her, and warned her by saying, "Do as I'm saying or get ready to face the consequences." She looked straight in his eyes and said."I can't lie to them, but I can remain silent." Umer held her hand and his grip tightened on her hand, causing her pain, as she struggled to break free, "Leave me! Why are you doing this to me? What have I done?"
Umer, released her hand, drew closer to her and said, "You're the reason for everything. My parents forced me to marry you and you know the worst thing, Appa scolded me for the first time because of you."
Aira chose not to respond and headed to the bathroom, leaving Umer behind. Meanwhile, Umer grabbed his coat and made his way downstairs. When Aira returned, she noticed Umer was no longer there. She selected a plain baby blue dress and retreated to the bathroom once more to change. Afterward, she applied minimal makeup and a hint of perfume before making her way downstairs.

When she came downstairs, she saw everyone was already in the lounge, including Ahmed, waiting for her to join them for breakfast. She took a deep breath and then said, "Assalamualaikum, Uncle and Aunty."
Mr. and Mrs. Dawood, sitting on the sofa, turned to see Aira. Mr. Dawood smiled warmly and said, "Walaikum Assalam, Aira. Come here, sit down."
Mrs. Dawood added with a gentle smile, "Aira, don't call us Uncle and Aunty. We are at your parents' place now. Call us Mom and dad, just like Tae-min and Taehyung, hmm?"
