Summary:

In Episode 9, Haya is emotionally shattered after her tense encounter with Jehan in Independence Street, where he pretends not to recognize her and humiliates her in front of a woman accompanying him. Haya calls out to him multiple times, but he coldly dismisses her, leaving her heartbroken. Unable to process the harsh rejection, Haya breaks down in tears on the bustling street as DJ finds her and tries to comfort her. This interaction marks a turning point for Haya, who begins to question everything about her feelings for Jehan and their complicated relationship.

The episode transitions to Haya and DJ preparing a special gingerbread house for Hussein’s birthday celebration. Haya puts her heart and soul into crafting the gingerbread house, making it a work of art. Just as they are about to present it at the party, Jehan unexpectedly arrives, causing Haya to lose her balance. The gingerbread house crashes to the ground, breaking into pieces. The emotional weight of this incident, combined with her recent humiliation, causes Haya to erupt in anger. She lashes out at Jehan, blaming him for all the turmoil he’s caused in her life. In her rage, she throws a piece of the ruined gingerbread house at him, unable to contain her frustration.

After this dramatic outburst, Haya runs away from the scene, seeking solace near the campus lake. Overcome by emotions, she dips her feet into the freezing water, symbolically torturing herself as a way to cope with her inner pain. Jehan later finds her by the lake and attempts to apologize, explaining that he didn’t mean to hurt her and was under stress. Although Haya is still upset, Jehan’s apology begins to soften her anger, and the two share a moment of reconciliation.

The episode ends with Jehan and Haya deciding to have dinner together as a gesture of rebuilding their strained relationship. However, the mysterious figure, Abdul Rehman Pasha, contacts Haya again, intensifying the looming threat in her life. Haya is left with more questions as the episode concludes, unsure of whom to trust or what the future holds for her.
