The episode begins with Zaroon's family preparing for his sister's engagement, which is set to take place the following day. Zaroon is still reeling from the confrontation he had with Kashaf's father in the last episode, but he tries to put on a brave face for his family. Meanwhile, Kashaf is still struggling with the revelation that Zaroon's mother is the woman who helped set her father on the right path many years ago. She is conflicted about how to handle the situation, especially since her mother is now pressuring her to reconsider her decision to end her engagement with Zaroon.
As the engagement ceremony gets underway, tensions begin to rise between Zaroon's mother and Kashaf's family. Zaroon's mother is clearly uncomfortable around Kashaf's father, and the two engage in a heated argument. Amidst the chaos, Kashaf and Zaroon steal a few moments alone, and Zaroon tries to reassure Kashaf that he still loves her and wants to be with her. However, Kashaf is still hesitant to fully commit to their relationship, given the differences in their backgrounds and the issues with their respective families.
The rest of the episode focuses on the aftermath of the engagement ceremony. Zaroon's mother tries to reach out to Kashaf's father to apologize for their earlier argument, but he rebuffs her attempts at reconciliation. Kashaf's mother continues to push her to reconsider her decision to end things with Zaroon, but Kashaf is firm in her resolve. Finally, towards the end of the episode, Zaroon's mother sits down with Kashaf's father and tries to explain her side of the story. She tells him that she only wants what's best for her son, and that she bears no ill will towards Kashaf or her family. Kashaf's father is initially skeptical, but he eventually agrees to let go of his anger towards Zaroon's mother.
The episode concludes on a somewhat hopeful note, with Zaroon and Kashaf both looking towards the future with a sense of cautious optimism. While it's clear that there are still many obstacles standing in the way of their relationship, they both seem determined to overcome them and build a life together. Overall, "Episode 12" is a compelling and emotional installment of Zindagi Gulzar Hai, one that offers glimpses of both the characters' strengths and their vulnerabilities.
