Story
[edit]Shehroze and Mahnoor are a happily engaged couple who have been in love since childhood. They are soon to get married; however, Mahnoor is accidentally hit by the car of a spoilt young man, Zaman. The injuries prove fatal, and Mahnoor dies, leaving Shehroze shattered.
Driven by revenge, Shehroze is determined to make Zaman pay for Mahnoor's death by killing Zaman's fiancée, Maryam. Shehroze kidnaps Maryam and is about to crush her under his car but stops. He cannot bring himself to do such a cruel thing to an innocent soul, and just leaves without harming Maryam. After that, Shehroz was embarrassed. And Maryam had no choice because people always blamed her innocence because she was kidnapped. So she asked Shehroz to compensate for his mistake by marrying her. Shehroz agreed, and then they start living happily, although Shehroze maintains a certain distance from Maryam because he wants to stay loyal to his lady love, Mahnoor.
Then later on, Shehroze tells Maryam that she will always be a tawaan to him, and therefore she leaves him and asks for a divorce. However, Shehroze doesn't want to get divorced, as he actually is starting to love her and doesn't want her to leave. Maryam hears Shehroze and his aunty Shabana talking about Maryam and how he loves her so much and can't live without her. Shabana then tells him that he should take Maryam back as she realises how upset everyone is that she left in the first place. Shehroze goes to Maryam's house and sees Zaman talking to her about getting together, and then Shehroze walks in, and Zaman then shoots Maryam. Maryam is then taken to the hospital and survives, and Shehroze confesses his love for her. Then Maryam and Shehroze get back together, and everyone lives happily ever after.
