Bara Sa Spoiler Alert
Ok So the story starts I think 7 or 8 years before partition. Aalia is the main character. She has an elder sister. Her mother is very bharam baaz, maghroor type. Safdar is Aalia's late phuppo ka beta who lives at her place. He is older than Aalia's sister. Aalia's mother doesn't like safdar and keeps on doing his bizti alot. Because of that Safdar was kinda meesna type. Apparently Aalia's sister loves him and he loves her but because of the mother everyone is terrified of their relationship and nobody says anything about it. Eventually Safdar asks Aalia's father to send him to Aligarh Uni and he leaves. Aalia's mother meanwhile sets Aalia's sister shadi to her chacha ka beta, Jameel. Aalia's sister was unhappy and eventually she commits suicide. This impacts Aalia a lot. She starts thinking that Safdar left her sister alone and her sister died because of this lover and Safdar will get to live his life. So she starts thinking that love doesn't affect men it only affects women. She won't be like other women... she would be different and blah blah...
Now the second chapter of Aalia's life starts. I think her father goes to jail for some reason and Aalia and her mother go to live at Aalia's chacha's (Jameel's father) place. There is this girl chammi that lives at their place (I don't exactly remember chammi's relation with these people ..I only remember that she was this orphan girl living at their place). Chammi loves Jameel. Jameel falls in love with Aalia. Aalia I think starts to develop feelings for Jameel as well but she refuses to accept her love because of the reason mentioned above. Aalia pities chammi that she is ruining her life for a guy who doesn't love her etc. etc.Then this partition saga starts. Chammi is pro Mulsim League but Jameel's family is pro congress. Chammi gets married to some guy. Then partition happens and Aalia and her mother come to Pakistan and Jameel remains in India I guess. She loses all the connection with Jameel and Chammi. One day she receives the news that chammi refused to come to Pakistan and due to which chammi's husband divorced her and chammi is now living at jameel's place with her child. Then one day she receives Chammi's letter and comes to know that Jameel has married Chammi. Then she meets Safdar and discovers that Safdar is still pining for Aalia's sister. Safdar mentions that Aalia resembles her sister and proposes Aalia. Ok now the end is pretty confusing. Aalia accepts Safdar's proposal but her mother refuses. Safdar then says something like I want to start my life and blah blah and it makes Aalia tick. She refused Safdar's proposal and the last scene is that Aalia imagines Chammi laughing at her and saying that I defeated you and the novel ends.
