He offers her a ride home, where she asks him to play loud music and does very childish things. Suddenly she faints and Zohaib takes her to the hospital, where her finds out she's anorexic and hasn't eaten for a couple of days. On finding out that Zoya is in the hospital, Sheena (Angeline Malik), Zoya's Ani rushes to the hospital to see her. On seeing Zohaib with Zoya, she asks Zoya who he is and she says he's her boyfriend. Annoyed by this, Zohaib quickly escapes and goes back home.

Zahra had rejected Asad as she was in love with Zohaib, leaving Asad heartbroken for the rest of his life. Zahra is always annoyed by his presence as she thinks her wants to make her feel guilty for rejecting him. Zohaib returns to Pakistan and gifts his daughter the doll that Zoya gave him. On seeing the gift tag with Zoya's name, Zahra asks Zohaib who she is where he explains to her everything that happened in Dubai. When he goes to work a few days later, he finds out that Zoya is his boss Shiraz's (Ali Afzal) daughter. On seeing how uninterested Zoya is in his business, Shiraz asks Zohaib to train her and make her as hard-working as him. When it is Zoya's birthday, and her dad leaves her for a business trip, Zohaib arranges a party for her just to cheer her up, only forgetting that it's his wedding anniversary the same day. As they dance playfully, Zeba (Nadia Hussain), who is Shiraz's partner, walks in and questions them. Zoya, having hatred towards Zeba chases her away and talks to her harshly. Meanwhile, Zahra is waiting for Zohaib at home. He arrives home very late and tries to make it up to Zahra by dancing with her, but he still thinks of Zoya.

On Shiraz's arrival, he asks Zohaib to take Zoya to an art gallery so she can buy a painting she really likes.

Shiraz soon arrives and finds out that Adil has left. Zoya calls Zohaib and tells him what has happened. Zohaib becomes tensed and tells her that he loves her and will come to see her. Zahra overhears all of this, and cries, but lets Zohaib go. Zohaib goes to Dubai and meets Zoya. He brings her back to life and eventually gets married to her. Zahra is devastated by this news. In this time, Asad comes to help and takes care of her daughter. He tries to slowly bring her back to life and feels as if he has almost won her over. Zoya faints once more, and when taken to the hospital, she finds out she is pregnant. On hearing this, Zeba objects to her pregnancy saying that she is too sick to be pregnant, but Shiraz doesn't pay much attention to her. Zeba soon starts to get jealous of Zoya and asks Shiraz for their own child, so Zoya's child will not inherit all of Shiraz's empire. Zahra's sister asks her to marry Asad, which she agrees to.

Asad's mother is dying and asks Zahra to decide in Asad's favor. After his mother's death, Asad starts missing her a lot and asks Zahra to marry him. Zahra says nothing and leaves the room. Soon, Zohaib has sent Zahra divorce papers, which she signs against her will. Zeba pressures Shiraz to give her a child, to which he says no. She accuses him of loving Zoya and wanting to give her his whole empire, to which he replies that the money is not his, but his ex-wife's and according to her will, the money now belongs to Zoya and her children. After hearing this, Zeba leaves him. Zohaib starts missing Zahra and his daughter. He tries to call them and find out what has happened. He asks Zoya if they can keep his daughter with him, to which Zoya says yes. They return to Pakistan, where on seeing Zohaib, Zahra hugs him and professes how much she has missed him. Asad sees this and leaves forever, carrying all of Zahra's memories in his heart. Zohaib tells Zahra that he only married Zoya so he could give her happiness in her last few days. Zoya overheaars this and faints. Eventually, Zoya gives birth to a girl and asks Zahra to be her mother, to which Zahra agrees, and afterwards, Zoya dies.
