Laraib had returned to her parents' house. Now, she didn't see any point in staying at Dawar's place. Dawar hadn't been talking to her for a while, and even his family members were now behaving with her in a reserved manner. Although when Laraib was leaving, Rabia had made a feeble attempt to stop her, but the one whose words mattered didn't speak at all. Dawar wasn't even there at that time.

Dawar's attitude was strengthening her fear. She wasn't wrong; in joint families, this often happens. Men, in their concern for their parents and siblings, often overlook their wives, and Dawar turned out to be just that type of man.
