The story started with a girl running while someone was trying to stop her by saying not to cross that sayah hashia. The suspense was created from this scene and increased as the story progressed. The story was not easily predictable as it was full of twists and turns. Each character giving a different lesson, syah hashia was full of lessons. Ego destroys not only the egoistic person but also many other lives related to him. We think that we are making good decisions but sometimes they prove to be the worst ones. And when anger, ego and insecurities combine together, they definitely make a worst decision. Daisy was the one to tell us ke maa baap ki baat na maan kr duniya to hath se jati hi hai, kabhi kabhi akhrat bhi khatray me par jati hai. I personally loved the character of hashim. Kisi dusray ke gharoor ki wja se tabah hone wala shakhs tha wo. Tbh bakhtawar and hashim were my favourite characters. Bohat kam log hoty hain jinhan jald hi hidayat mill jati hai or asy log Allah ki trf se chunay hue hoty hain. As for the character of Shanzay, she taught us that if something is not good for us, Allah makes it difficult for us to reach it. Har rukawat azmaish nhi hoti, kuch ruqawatain is liye bhi hoti hain kyun ke Allah nhi chahta ke hum wo kaam krain. Allah has planned something better for us. Oreeda told us that not every girl leaves her everything just for love of her life, some girls respect their elders and their decisions. Full of twists, turns and mystery, Sayah hashia is a masterpiece and a MUST READ!!!

There's something about Urdu books, a different feeling of reading, an another level of fun and satisfaction, something which connects you with the characters, the setting, the message, which l never feel while reading any other language...strange but true!

The story is woven beautifully with the family saga, parents children relationship, kins and lost relations.

I really liked the message by the writer of " doing something as pure as nikah without parents agreements in whatever the situation, will lead you into trouble, whether you're a boy or girl doesn't matter". And I particularly liked this unbiased and just showcase in throughout the book, which is rarely seen, as girls are always to be blamed by the everyone and are shown suffering from their grave step, whereas the boys are given clean chit!
I agreed with her on the point of keeping love as second priority and your self respect the first!!
Totally recommended......!

My new Favourite! Outstanding and a must-read! It has been a long time since I read a 500 pages novel in two days. Absolutely loved this one. Great lessons to learn.

read it in a few days. couldn't get a hold of the multiple stories simultaneously but I have to say it was worth the wait. it was all interconnected beautifully til the end.
the only thing I wasn't satisfied with was tge way Hashim was dealt with. He was supposed to end up with Bakhtawar :(
I want a sequel!
