Eight years later, Zeyna is happily married to Ayaz and they are blessed with an adorable daughter, Enash, whom she had named as per Shifan's request during the time he had confessed to her.

Meanwhile, Shifan who is now a medical school graduate is still disheartened by the rejection and has remained single despite his father's attempts to set him up with other women.

Eventually, he decides to give an honest attempt at trying to move on and agrees to date his father's friend's daughter Nathasha who has fancied him for a while.

Noora attempts to seduce Ayaz on multiple occasions and he finally gives in during a time Enash and Zeyna were not in town.

After seeing Noora take Enash away similar to how Ayaz had taken her, Zeyna regains her memory and calls out for her child, but soon faints on the spot.

Ayaz gets curious and phones the asylum to find out that a person by his ex-wife's name was admitted to their facility and realizes that Enash had been telling the truth all along.

He is shocked to discover that Zeyna is now in a mental asylum and decides to treat her privately and takes her back to Male' with him as her guardian.

He also wishes Shifan and Zeyna a happy life and walks out, having acknowledged his mistake of taking a faithful partner that truly loved him, for granted.
