Kamran is also in love with Nazi, Mr. Bordbaar's daughter, who still has feelings for her old fiancé. Kamran is too shy to show his feelings for Nazi.

She is a widow, and her past husbands have been killed by strange accidents that have something to do with how mean she is. The family has a servant named Heif-e-nan, which means "worthless". He craves abuse from his masters. They also have a sloppy, worthless lawyer named Jamshid, who is trying to get the family to sell the garden. According to Jamshid, Tehran is going to have a highway that runs through the garden and they should sell it before the price drops drastically.
