The conversation revolves around the lives of the characters in a wealthy household, specifically Noor Jehan, her daughter-in-law Noor Bano, and her other daughter-in-law Safina.
The story begins with Safina and her husband Hunaid discussing their unborn child. They visit the doctor and find out that the baby's gender cannot be determined due to its position.
Meanwhile, Noor Jehan is dealing with the aftermath of her husband's death and trying to maintain control over her household and lands. She appoints her son-in-law Murad to handle the lands, but he is hesitant to take on the responsibility.
Noor Jehan's other daughter-in-law, Safina, is pregnant and expecting a boy. She confides in her sister-in-law Noor Bano, who tries to keep the news a secret. However, Sumbul, a loyal servant, overhears the conversation and informs Noor Jehan, who is overjoyed.
Noor Jehan gives Sumbul a bangle as a gift, which leads to a conversation between Sumbul and Safina about the bangle and Noor Jehan's favoritism.
