Durriya is an only child, belonging to a working-class family. She dreams of marrying a rich man with a lavish lifestyle. She receives the proposal of Wasay Ahmed who is a rich self-made businessman. Wasay's parents died when he was young and he was raised by his sister Adeela who is married but has no children of her own. Durriya's parents are concerned by Wasay and his sister Adeela's arrogant and egotistical behaviour after meeting them, and try to talk Durriya out of this marriage. Durriya is adamant about marrying Wasay, even when her parents tell her they don't think he is a good match for her. They are also concerned that he seems to be temperamental, but she reassures them that she will handle any situation that arises, and won't bring her problems to them. Once she marries him, he gets angry and hits her on their wedding night. He often verbally and physically abuses her then tries to make up for it with expensive gifts. She realizes he has a quick temper and a volatile personality. His sister refuses to acknowledge his anger and does not think he needs any mental help. Adeela further enables his behaviour by painting Durriya in a bad picture in front of him.
