Plot Summary

We see Abdul Alaa meets Ibrahim. We see Master Ibrahim repairing a shoe, but he lets go of his charges when he sees Abdul Alaa. Abdul Alaa is worried about his legacy and the path that Momin is on. Momina comes to seek his blessings, and sees Abdul Alaa. I don’t recall this happening in the novel.

Momin’s birthday comes up and parents of other kids find out about Husn-e-Jehan. Momin’s friends stop talking to her and he vents out his anger on her mother claiming she is a bad woman.
Momina auditions and is asked to extend her stay in Lahore. Back in Karachi, Jehangir is fighting the last battle of his life.
Review
Neha and Momin’s relation are on rocky planes. Momin refuses to talk to Zoofi, and Neha avenges it when he goes to meet her. Really? We know that he will avenge the insult, and soon.
The teaser of next episode also shows that Momina will get the part, and will lose her brother.
See you in next review.
