Compendium

Rudaba is an innocent girl who is engaged to her father’s friend and neighbor Buland Bukhtiar. Buland lives in America and works for World Bank. One day Rudaba and Buland’s father are at the sea view and dies in a robbery. Rudaba is forced to live with her elder brother Adil and his wife. Adil works as a front man for his brother in-law Bashar who is a money launderer. Basher can do anything for his sisters specially Tayyaba whose two engagements have been broken.[14][15] During all of this Buland comes back and falls in love with Rudaba. Now at one side love is flourishing between Rudaba and Buland and on the other side Bashar is scheming to marry his sister to Buland.[16]

Plot

First episode started with the engagement ceremony of Rudaba (Ushna Shah) with none other than Buland Bakhtiar (Sami Khan) who lives in America and works at World bank on a reputed post but Rudaba thinks that he is going to be some arrogant and rude brat who doesn’t possess any love for country or family values. Her father tried his level best to make her understand that Buland is a good person and he is not an inch of what he thinks of him. Buland is Bakhtiar’s son, and Bakhtiar loves Rudaba as if she is his own daughter. Rudaba is one simple, innocent, down to earth and family oriented girl whose life revolves around her father and brother Adil (Yasir Mazher). Adil lives with his wife Sahira (Maheen Rizvi) who is big-headed, swollen with pride, rude and outspoken women, who is living a luxurious life with her husband on her brother’s expenses. Adil works for Bashar Momin (Sahira’s brother) he makes his black money white illegally, that’s why he lives in a separate house as Adil and Rudaba’s father has been a sincere and an honest bureaucrat throughout his life so he wouldn’t allow his son to do such illegal stuff. No father would want such life for his son. Furthermore, after Rudaba’s engagement Sahira felt insulted as Rudaba’s father gave an insulting answer to Adil’s questions regarding Rudaba’s engagement. So Sahira tried her best and somehow succeeded in manipulating Rudaba’s mind and filling her brains with crap against Buland and his character. Rudaba is very innocent that she actually believed what so ever Rudaba said to her and she even complained to her dad “Koi itna zalim nahi hota, apni beti kay saath to nahi” but then he made her understand that Sahira has this ability to control other’s mind, and don’t let her do this to you. Bashar Momin’s appearance was unkind, arrogant, rude, and cruel. He has everything be it money – power – status – fame and name but he didn’t have happiness (this was obvious). Tayabba (Sundas Tariq) Sahira and Bashar’s younger sister who was engaged twice but those engagements were called off because of Bashar’s reputation. His pride once again led to the engagement being broken off. He may be stiff, rude and arrogant from outside but their is a soft heart that possess kindness is present for her sister. Conclusively, Rudaba’s father and father-in-law got murdered by probably a mobile snatcher.[17]
