When Adil and Rumaisa reached the address given by Kulsum, they found it to be a girl's hostel. Adil couldn't enter, so Rumaisa went inside alone. She asked a girl about Faiza and requested her to call Faiza outside. The girl headed towards Faiza's room, and Rumaisa came back outside to wait with Adil for Faiza to arrive.
When Faiza came out, she looked at Adil and Rumaisa with surprise. Rumaisa gestured for her to get into the car, and she silently complied. Adil started driving the car. Rumaisa and Faiza sat in the back while Adil kept glancing at them through the mirror. Both were silently looking out of the window. Adil pulled the car to a stop at a secluded spot.
"Why did you both come here? Who told you where I was?" Faiza asked directly.
"Faiza, why did you do this? Why did you leave all of us?" Rumaisa asked sorrowfully.
"I didn't leave by choice; you all forced me to go," Faiza replied angrily.
"Faiza, you left without knowing the full story," Rumaisa said, about to get angry.
"Really? What more was there to know? He hates me... He sent you to spy on me. Neither the relationship of marriage was real, nor this friendship. All of you are liars. You've always hated me, and now..." Faiza's eyes filled with tears, and she turned her face away to wipe them.
"Sister-in-law, it's nothing like that. You've misunderstood. My brother doesn't hate you," Adil tried to explain to her.
"Leave it, Adil. I heard it from his own mouth," Faiza said.
"You know your biggest problem is that you always think about yourself. You never consider others. You think no one else in the world suffers except you. Others go through a lot too, Faiza, but they don't make a drama of their pain like you do," Rumaisa said angrily.
"Rumaisa," Adil said sharply.
"Yes, I only think about myself because I have no one else," Faiza's defiance left both Rumaisa and Adil stunned.
"Let it go. Now, come home with us, sister-in-law," Adil suggested.
"No, I don't want to go," Faiza interrupted him firmly.
"Sister-in-law, please come back. Ever since you left, my brother hasn't slept. If you see him, you won't recognize him. He's in such bad shape that he can hardly get out of bed. Please, come back," Adil pleaded, feeling deeply sorry for his brother. He knew how much Fardan loved Faiza.
"He hates me. He should be happy that I'm gone," Faiza remained stubborn, though her heart ached for Fardan after hearing Adil's words. But she kept running from him, remembering the hurtful things Fardan had said.
"No, sister-in-law. You heard wrong. He used to hate you, but now he's madly in love with you. A love like no other. You have no idea how happy you made him," Adil was desperate to bring Faiza back, to restore his brother's happiness, but Faiza was firm in her stubbornness.
"Are you coming or not?" Rumaisa asked sternly.
"No," Faiza said, holding her ground.
"Alright, Adil, take her back to her hostel. We need to go home," Rumaisa turned to Adil.
"But sister-in-law..." Adil started to protest, but Rumaisa gestured for him to stay quiet. Adil turned the car around towards the hostel.
"Stay happy then. Even if someone is dying for you," Rumaisa said sarcastically.
"What do you mean?" Faiza asked.
"I mean that Fardan bhai's condition is very bad. The doctors have told him to get admitted to the hospital, but he refuses. He spends day and night holding your pictures, talking to himself. He doesn't eat or sleep. His condition has deteriorated so much that he can hardly get out of bed," Rumaisa explained.
"Why aren't you all forcing him to go to the hospital?" Faiza asked anxiously.
"He said that if Faiza comes home, he will go. Otherwise, he will die but won't get treated.," Rumaisa said gravely.
"Oh my God, why is he so stubborn?" Faiza said, looking out the window.
When they arrived at the hostel, Faiza got out of the car without saying a word and rushed inside. Rumaisa watched her leave.
"Are you crazy? Which doctor told my brother to get admitted to the hospital? He's perfectly fine, so why were you lying to her?" Adil questioned Rumaisa as soon as Faiza left.

"Just watch the show, Adil," Rumaisa said, smiling.
Faiza was returning with her luggage, and Adil watched her in amazement.
"How did this happen..." Adil began.
"Love, you fool. She loves Fardan bhai too," Rumaisa said, smiling.
When Faiza got back in the car, Adil drove quickly without saying anything.
"What happened to him? What did the doctors say?" Faiza asked Rumaisa seriously.
"Faiza, now listen to me without interrupting," Rumaisa said, and Faiza turned all her attention towards her.
Rumaisa then told her everything, from Fardan's first meeting with her in childhood to their last meeting three months ago. Faiza was so shocked after hearing everything that she just held her head in her hands. She couldn't believe that her father had killed Fardan's parents and was also responsible for Rumaisa's father's death.
"The mistake wasn't Fardan bhai's. You could call it his childhood naivety or a burning desire for revenge... He only wanted revenge against Furqaan. You were just a pawn for a moment, but he never let even a thorn prick you. Even though he didn't like you because of Furqaan, he was always concerned about you. I know how much he love you, Faiza, which is why you shouldn't end this marriage like this. Give him a chance to make things right for you," Rumaisa said, trying to make her understand.
Faiza remained silent the whole way, while Adil and Rumaisa kept telling her Fardan's story, how he had always done everything alone, how much he loved Faiza, and what he had done for her.
**************************************
"Call Fardan and tell him if he wants to see his dear sister for the last time, he can come here," Furqaan told Kareem.
Kareem tried calling Fardan, but no one answered.
Furqaan's phone started ringing; it was Irfan calling.
Ayesha was still trying to free herself but failing. Furqaan picked up the phone.
*Yes, Irfan, tell me,* Furqaan said.
*Why did you kidnap Fardan's sister?* Irfan asked angrily.
*Who told you?* Furqaan was surprised.
*You told me you wouldn't go after his sister, so why did you kidnap her?* Irfan continued to ask angrily.
*It was necessary to kidnap her,* Furqaan replied.
*Why was it necessary?* Irfan questioned.
*Saif was going to their house. I didn't want Fardan to tell him anything, so I wanted to blackmail him,* Furqaan explained.
*But Saif already knows everything. He came to me asking about it just now,* Irfan informed him.
*W.. W.. What?* The ground slipped beneath Furqaan's feet.
*He knows we committed the murders together,* Irfan's words shocked Furqaan deeply.
In disbelief, Furqaan dropped the phone from his hand, and it hit the ground and turned off.
