After 7 years, Abbas sees his mother's pic, and tearfully remembers his memories with her but life has to go on, and he has lots of reasons like Azeem, Zara, Maryam and Aliyah, and his naughty kids.

He remembers the past, as this house has witnessed standing the test of time.

In Aliyah's room, she is tensed about the list of stuff that hasn't been delivered yet, for the party that she has organised. Abbas comes and tries to distract her, but she shoves him away, she has lots of work to do. But he doesn't listen to her, and intentionally gets intimate with her, teasing her too, that he was just trying to pull something out of the hair, justifying it to be right, as his love is justified. she says that the time isn't right, even though the work is. They speak Faryal and Hussain online, as they skype Abbas and Aliyah. They excitedly talk about the birthdays of the children, Sanam and Sophie. Abbas and Aliyah congratulate Faryal on her pregnancy when Hussain tells them that Faryal isn't allowed to travel. They hope to be together soon. She wishes Abbas and Aliyah all the best, and wishes for the daughters too. After exchanging greetings, Abbas and Aliyah log off. Abbas asks Aliyah to take it easy, while she is tensed for the arrangements.

Zara comes with Zoya, her daughter, while Azeem picks up the things that she accidentally dropped. Zara goes into her room and she gets to relaxing, and freshening up in the bathroom. Zara feels someones presence but turns around to find none. As she gets back to working, a stone breaks off the mirror in the bathroom, in the pieces of which she finds Rabia(Abbas's Best friend), staring at her from behind in venomous rage. While Zara is shocked, Rabia stabs Zara with a knife in the stomach, while she is shocked. Rabia says that she must be feeling pain, but she too had faced the same some time back. Rabia expresses her frustration that in the past, she was dressed as a bride, and today too, that day also there was celebration and that day also everyone was happy, and today too, and this house saw the worst and today also it would, The only difference being, that day it was on her, and today it would be on Zara. Zara falls on the ground, clutching her stomach, as she doses off into unconsciousness, after Rabia stabs her yet again. Her entire life with its good memories flashes before her, while Rabia is satisfied.

Downstairs, Aliyah is very angry that the arrangements haven't been done while Maryam takes care of Sophie and Sanam. Abbas comes down and faces the brunt of her ire. Finding him tensed and silent, she asks whats the matter. Abbas is tensed and looks at the door.

Later, Maryam is searching around for the kid, Aliyah says that they would be somewhere around. Aliyah tells Maryam that she feels scared at having had so much happiness in her life together. Maryam says that whatever would happen now, they would have to accept it, thinking that it's gods wish, be it good or bad.
