Storyline[]

Aimen, a 20-year-old girl, lives in poverty with her mother Zainab, in the small town of Nawabshah. When Aimen was an infant, her father Taufeeq Kamaal had separated from his first wife, Zainab, and remarried. Aimen resents her father for this. Just before her death, Zainab writes a letter to Taufeeq and requests that he look after Aimen. Taufeeq, now a business tycoon in Karachi, receives the letter when he is about to leave for Turkey with his second wife Almas and their son Sahir. By this time, Zainab has passed away. Taufeeq requests his friend and business partner Haider Masood to pick Aimen up from Nawabshah and bring her to Karachi. While Taufeeq is away, Aimen stays with Haider and his aunt Bibi at their residence. Haider senses Aimen's loneliness and is kind to her. After Taufeeq returns, Aimen moves in with him and Almas, but struggles to adjust to living with them. Haider encourages her to go for higher education and grooms her personality so that she can fit in with her father's elite social circle. Aimen and Haider gradually develop feelings for each other. Sajeela, who is Haider's ex-wife and also Almas's sister, returns to Pakistan after a failed marriage to Mazhar. She hopes to remarry Haider. Sajeela tries to create tension between Aimen and Haider. Feeling guilty about being in love with an inexperienced girl who is 16 years younger than him, Haider suddenly decides to marry his old friend Fatima instead. Dejected Aimen decides to move back her hometown Nawabshah. At the last moment, Haider confronts Aimen and admits his feelings for her.
