Storyline

Aimen, a 20-year-old girl is raised by her mother Zainab in absence of her father Taufeeq. During her last days, Zainab wrote letter to Taufeeq and requested that he raises Aimen. Taufeeq receives the letter when he was about to leave for US with his wife Almas and son Sahir for his admission to an American university. He requests his business partner Haider to pick Aimen up and let her stay at his home until he is back. After Taufeeq returns, she stays with him and his family, but struggles to adjust to living with them. Haider encourages her to take advanced studies of Finance and Economics , and grooms her. Aimen also develops feelings for Haider. Haider’s ex-wife Sajeela, who is also Almas's sister, returns to Pakistan after a failed marriage to Mazhar, in hopes of remarrying Haider. She tries to create tension between Aimen and Haider by convincing everyone that Haider is taking advantage of Aimen’s innocence. Haider suddenly decides to marry his old friend Fatima instead.
