Suraiyya : Akif!!!

Akif : Yes Ma'am?

Suraiyya : How many times I should tell you, don't add sugar in my juice?

Akif : Ma'am it's natural sweetness.

Ranimaa : Suraiyya, can't you taste the difference?

Suraiyya{taunting} : I'm not good at differencing Ranimaa.

Mannat : She indirectly mean that Sharik bhai being elder as well as a boy should have been on the throne whereas Ranimaa chose me.

Suraiyya : I have eaten enough, I'm going to my room.

Muheeb : I'm sorry for her misbehavior Ranimaa.

Ranimaa : I'm feel sorry on your choice. {All the elders leave the table}

Nayab{whisper to Mannat} : What was that?

Mannat : Chachu married Chachi against Ranimaa's will. Dad supported him alot in this, that's why he loved Dad so much and Ranimaa dislike Chachi.

In the evening:-

Sharik : Let me examine you, I'll ask someone to bring my medical kit. {His kit was brought from his room. He place the thermometer under Nayab's tounge} your temperature is 103, not to worry I'll give you some tablets.

Nayab : But bhai our outing.

Sharik : Your health is more important Mannat. You need rest, I'll come back again at night to check you.

Nayab : Okay {Sharik walk out} I feel bad for lying to him.

Mannat : If we haven't then maybe you could have got caught.

Flashback:-

Mannat/Nayab both were thinking of a way to delay or cancel the outing with Sharik. Nayab even asked Soha for help, Soha was the one to come up with the idea of fake fever.

Hence to raise the temperature of Nayab's body, Soha advice her to take cold shower and sit infront of the AC with her feet in ice-cold water. Yet it didn't increase Nayab's temperature as expected.

So when Sharik was checking her, the moment he turned to look at his watch. Nayab remove his thermometer in addition to that she replaced it with the one Soha gave her from under the bed which was being dipped in hot coffee.

Flashback ends.

{Soha crawl out of the bed}

Soha : Did the plan work?

Nayab : Yes, Thank you.

Soha : It was my duty.
