Coomy plots to turn his round-the-clock care over to Roxana, Nariman's sweet-tempered daughter after he falls and breaks his ankle.

Coomy in a fit of inspiration born of a desperate desire to not suffer this burden any longer creates with Jal's grudging assistance the perfect reason as to why they can no longer nurse him.

He suffers humiliation due to deterioration in his health and the grudging care (bedpans, sponge baths,etc.) of his two step-children especially Coomy his step-daughter who has never accepted him or any of his efforts to be a father.
