Summary

The story begins with an orphan girl named Asma (Hina Altaf), abandoned by her mother, a maid. The mother left her to protect Asma from being sold by her alcoholic father. The mother asked her employer, Azra Mansoor, to raise Asma and she agrees. Asma enjoys doing all the work in the house rather than studying. She is considered a maid even though Asma considers herself a family member.

A family from the United States visits the house when seeking to arrange for their eldest son to be engaged. They also arrive with a younger son, who treats Asma as a servant and in a degrading manner. The household wants Asma to marry the house driver so that she can remain as a maid. Asma is deeply hurt that the family thinks of her as a maid rather than part of the family. Later Sheryar (Azfar Rehman) falls in love with Asma and they are secretly married. Sheryar's mother, Noureen (Saba Hameed) disapproves of Asma and tries to degrade her, but is unaware of the marriage. Sheryar returns to America to complete Asma's paperwork where he is injured and falls into a coma. Asma is bereft and makes dua for him. Later, Asma is ill and her friend Anna Bi takes her to a doctor and discovers Asma is pregnant. Asma becomes depressed. Anna Bi persuades Asma to reveal the father's name. Asma tells her that the father is Shehryar which anger Anna Bi. Later, Anna Bi visits Asma, sympathizes with her, asks her for proof of the pregnancy, and Asma shows her test results. Nazia then destroys the test results and plans to send Asma away from the house. Nazia asks Anna Bi for help and tells her to lie to Asma, saying that her mother is alive and wants to see her before she dies. Eventually, Asma tells Azra Mansoor that she is pregnant but will not reveal the father's identity which angers her. Asma then has a car accident with a couple who take her to the hospital and then allow Asma to stay at their house. Sheryar, who has returned, becomes friends with the husband of the couple not knowing that Asma is living in their house. Sheryar then sees the husband help Asma which makes him think that she has betrayed him. Asma is deeply hurt by her husband and vows revenge. She manages to tell sheryar what happened to her which he already knew which he finds out by Anna bi. Nazia adopts her super havoc form and fights Asma. Then Sheryar agrees to marry Sumbhul, but finds Asma, hugs her, and then refuses to marry Sumbhul. Sumbhul is not upset because she didn't want to marry him anyway. Asma and Sheryar live happily ever after.
