Aimen always hated her father but could never say it loud due to her introvert personality. During her last days, Zainab wrote letter to Taufeeq and requested him to take back Aimen. Taufeeq received that letter when he was about to leave for US with his wife Almas and son Sair for his admission. He requested his business partner Haider to pick Aimen and keep her at his home until he is back. Gloomy Aimen moved in to Haider’s place, he helped her coping up with her pains. During the process Divorce Haider fell for Aimen but never revealed his feelings due to his age difference and marital status. After Taufeeq came back, she shifted to his father’s house but got deeply hurt by his cold behavior. Taufeeq didn’t like Aimen as she was mere reflection of her mother Zainab.
