As days passed by, they bond and narrate their journey leading to where they are today. Shehenaz marries an aspiring entrepreneur, Shah (Hassan Afeef) who spends their whole honeymoon ignoring his wife rather investing in his future business. Their marriage life is filled with turmoil as Shah struggles with workaholism. The relationship crisis hits a new low when Shah divorces her for complaining about his priorities. On the promise that he will reform, Shehenaz gives him a second chance which ended the same as their previous marriage. Shehenaz moves on with her life while Shah attempts to reunite with her.
