Aiman believes in the fundamentals of contentment, sacrifice and, compassion and always upholds them as her guiding force. She is very kind, polite and deeply respects her mother and elders. Saman, who is younger than Aiman, is overambitious and has no scruples when it comes to making it big in life. She believes she can give maat (defeat) to anyone at any time. Faisal (Adnan Siddiqui), Aiman and Saman's cousin, wishes to marry Saman, as he thinks she is more beautiful compared to her older sister who he is engaged to. He breaks the engagement and proposes to Saman. However, Saman refuses to marry her cousin and wishes to marry someone who is rich. So, Faisal's mother decides to get him and Aiman engaged again. Soon, as Faisal progresses at his standing in business and earns more salary, his financial situation improves and he renovates his house, buys a car, and so on. Saman becomes very jealous as she sees her sister's fiance become more and more like the "perfect husband" that she dreamed of having. She demands that Aiman and Faisal's engagement be broken as Faisal first meant to marry her, not Aiman. Faisal happily breaks his engagement and is even more eager to marry Saman. Aiman does not reveal that she has feelings for Faisal as she watches him and Saman get married.
