Mother-Daughter Conflict Over Wedding Attendance

The mother urged Annika to hurry with wedding preparations, saying that Halima kept calling.

Annika refused to attend the wedding, stating that there was no consideration for her at all, and criticized her mother for not taking her thoughts and feelings into account.

The mother explained that it was a choice to foster Wali's sense of responsibility, but Annika recalled that even during Firoz's wedding, her mother had skipped her and prioritized her younger brother's marriage, and she sarcastically referred to herself as someone who only served guests at home.

The mother attempted to persuade Annika by conveying that Halima had promised to find a good match for her.

However, Annika strongly objected, saying that the mere fact of Halima offering to arrange a marriage showed her miserable situation, and she declared that she would never be swayed by Halima's words, distrusting her intentions.
