Rashid is in a fix but is planning something as he has a weird conniving look in his eyes. On the other hand Zoya lurks around in the storeroom with Mariam and Asad is desperately trying to find a way to sneak Ayaan :Asad Zoya play the "bumping game"
Asad and Zoya bump into each other as they come out of the store room after hiding their respective people. Asad has pushed Ayaan into the storeroom and Zoya barely managed to feed the hungry Mariam and come out of there. Zoya decides to change Mariam's hiding place as Asad has bumped into her too many times outside the storeroom.
Ayaan meets Mariam
Dilshaad catches Asad in the dining room while he is looking for a way out, to hide Ayaan. At the same time, Zoya also brings Mariam to the dining room, and hides her under the table. Zoya and Asad both try to pretend to drink glasses of water waiting for each other to leave first. As luck would have it, Zoya rushes off with Ayaan, and pushes him into the same room as Mariam.
Both talk to each other and Ayaan mistakes her for the "guest" at Asad's house and they strike a friendly chord. In a few moments Asad comes and rescues Ayaan who rebuffs his statement, that the girl he met was a simpleton.
Asad arranges Mariam to leave
Ayaan's words leave Asad thinking hard, and he remembers how he had seen a shadow with Zoya. He finds Zoya and Mariam together, and looses cool. Angry at Zoya, Asad tells her with finality that he will arrange a car for Mariam to go back to her relative's house in Bhopal. He tells her that if she disobeys him this time, he will pack her out of his house.
Zoya hugs Mariam
Calling Zoya "Ms Farooqui", he tells her that he wants Zoya to keep away from Mariam, else he will make sure he throws her out from Bhopal. A helpless Zoya packs Mariam's bag with loads of clothes and gives her a wad of notes to tide by the time till her brother comes to collect her. Zoya is heartbroken at Asad's indifference, as she can't help Mariam the way she wants. Mariam assures her that she has read concern in Asad's eyes regarding Zoya.
Mariam's relative finds a way to Asad's office to threaten him as he has seen Mariam around Asad's house. Asad barely manages to keep his temper under control, and tells his uncle that after the treatment he had belted to Zoya, he will make sure that his Uncle is put behind bars. Asad calls up home and Zoya picks up the phone telling him that Mariam has left. Asad warns Zoya to lay off Mariam under all circumstances or else she will have to answer to him.
At that moment Dilshaad walks in bringing Mariam back.
