Three years after the second marriage contract, Hanan and Nawal's household becomes happier with the arrival of Qadeeja. However, Nawal's demanding nature and Hanan's stingy attitude remain unchanged, which affects their relationship due to each other's behavior. Nawal is confirmed to be pregnant with their second child. In pursuing happiness as a wife, Nawal knows that Ida actually has feelings for her husband, but Hanan always denies it by saying that Nawal's jealousy is unfounded. The presence of Wahab begins to change the pattern of their married life. Nawal is slandered for having a relationship with Zaki to the point where Hanan believes it. This makes Nawal more stressed and eventually she miscarries, compounded by the passing of Tok Ma who suffered a heart attack. Nawal feels disappointed when Hanan does not trust her, so she is determined to choose to distance herself. At that moment, Hairuddin appears to further disrupt their relationship.
