A few days have passed .. Meerub has been living at the old couple's house but she knows that she can't live here forever and Murtasim will find her.

He must be looking for her everywhere, but her mind was not giving her a way forward. Her friend Saba was in London and until she comes back she had to stay with this old couple.

Going to any shelter home will be too dangerous cause Murtasim will immediately find her.

Farrukh ( Rikshaw driver), who after hearing Meerub's story the other day was more inclined in helping her.

One day he saw Meerub sitting in the front yard of the house and comes up to her and asks,

Farrukh - Meerub don't u have any relative who u can trust?

Meerub - starts looking at Farrukh and some flashbacks give her new hope...

Flashback ( Meerub hugging Marium ... Mariam getting married - yes Mariam .. Mariam can help her)

Meerub wipes off her tears and goes towards the phone .. she calls Marium...

Marium - hello

Meerub - Hello Marium

Marium - Meerub? Why are u calling from an unknown landline ?

Meerub - Marium ,,, ( and Meerub starts crying ) Marium main ne Murtasim ka ghar chor diya hai...

Marium - Kya? Kya howa Meerub

Meerub - Mariam main tum ko Sab batati hoon but u promise that u will not tell anyone .. not my parents and not Murtasim

Mariam - Jee Meerub I will not tell .. but please tell me what happened

Meerub then tells Mariam everything... Mariam was shocked but still, she tries her luck

Mariam- Meerub aap ko ghalat fehmi hoyee hai .. bhai haya ko nahi chahte... Woh sirf aap ko chahte hain
Meerub close her eyes, tears rolling down her cheeks and in flashback see Haya hugging Murtasim

Meerub - Mariam tum meri help karo geee? Without telling anyone

Mariam - Jee Meerub anything for u

Meerub - can u go to Karachi to my parent's house?

On this note .. Mariam realises that Meerub doesn't know that her father has passed away

Mariam - Meerub Woh aap ko batana tha that Waqas chacha is no more, he passed away a few days back...

Meerab is at a loss of words .. tears starts streaming down her face .. " her baba"

She recalls that Saba's guard  was telling her that her father was looking for her...

Meerub connects the dots that her father died because of her .. she left home because of Murtasim and her baba died because of her...

She makes an oath to herself  "I will never forgive u Murtasim"

She cries and cries and then asks Mariam what she wanted her to do and puts the phone down.

The next few days were sadder for Meerub she kept thinking about her father...

————————

Farrukh comes to the old couple's house and sees Meerub holding an envelope

Farrukh - ye Kya hai

Meerub - meray documents Hain

Farrukh - ye Kahan se aye

Meerub - meri cousin ne bheje Hain

Farrukh - tau tum apni cousin k paas chali jao

Merrub - Nahi jaa sakti

Farrukh - ab Kya karo geee

Meerub - Mujhe Aik internet ki jaga Jana hai .. kya

Tum Mujhe le jao ge?

Farrukh - Haan le jaon ga

Meerub grabs a dupatta .. holds her documents tightly and steps out of the house with Farrukh

On the way to the internet cafe .. Meerub gets a flashback of how she got hold of her documents

Meerub asked Marium to visit her parent's house in Karachi and go to her room and get her documents from the bottom drawer of her study table.

She told Mariam to be careful not to let anyone know
And make an excuse for using that room for rest.

She also requested  Mariam to send her some money and a cell phone so that Meerub can stay in touch with Marium.

Meerub also asked Mariam to send Meerub an envelope that was also in the same drawer with "for my daughter Meerub" written on it...

Mariam sent all the things to Meerub when she opens the box containing things that Meerub asked for .. at the bottom was that envelop .. Meerub opens the envelope with teary eyes and sees a letter in it

Letter;

My dear daughter, Meerub,

I have complete faith in your abilities and believe that you will make a remarkable lawyer. Remember, this journey may not always be easy, but with determination, resilience, and the right mindset, you can overcome any obstacle that comes your way. I am here to support you every step of the way, offering my guidance and wisdom whenever you need it.

Your Proud Baba
Waqas Ahmed

This letter was given to Meerub by her baba when she finished her college education and wanted to become a lawyer.

Meerub wipes her eyes, the cafe was here
She goes inside carefully and quickly starts her work on the computer.

She applied for a law college in Islamabad and also applied for scholarship, based on her results and scores.

Once the application was submitted she cane back to the house where she had been living. Since Mariam sent Meerub a phone .. Meerub mentioned her number on the form for the contact

Now Meerub was desperately waiting for acceptance from law college.
