Novel Summary

The title story revolves around Shumaila, Umar, and Sana, three lives intertwined in a web of unrequited love, family manipulation, and emotional deception. Shumaila, deeply in love with Umar (her cousin), watches helplessly as Umar falls for and marries his university fellow, Sana. Umar’s mother, who originally wanted Shumaila as her daughter-in-law, also opposes his decision.

Eventually, manipulated by Shumaila and her mother, Umar divorces Sana and marries Shumaila, but never loves her. Years later, the truth unfolds when Shumaila discovers that Umar secretly remarries Sana after her second divorce. Even though Umar is ready to leave Shumaila, Sana forgives and stops him, realizing the emotional complexity of the situation.

At its core, this story reflects how love can blur moral boundaries, making people justify even the most hurtful actions in the name of emotion. It’s a deep critique of selfish love and the consequences of manipulation, especially when driven by obsession rather than truth.
