She thinks that after marriage he will turn into a good one but, it could not happen and he even becomes the alcoholic too and loses all of his property in gambling. At on night, in drunken state he goes to Shaukat (the person who wanted to marry Pervin in the past and has won the Afzal's house in gambling) who has already murdered Muneer but couldn't find a way to handle the corpse. When Afzal reaches there, Shaukat calls the police and tells him that Afzal has murdered Muneer. However, Afzal somehow succeeds to escape and goes away, leaving the city with the help of Pervin. He catches the train of Lahore to Calcutta where he entres the room of a rich old businesswoman. He saves him from the killing attack of a thief and pushes him from train (who was in his clothes which he had stolen from him) which distortens his face. The businessesman offers him to handle all of his business due to the favour of saving his life. He reaches Calcutta, works hard there with honesty, becomes a rich person after years and decides to visit her wife and daughter in Lahore.
