Saraab

Hoorain is different from the people around her and lives at a distance from them. She likes her cousin Asfandyar and wants to marry him. She is ignored by her parents (as her sisters Namal and Warda are clever and sharp-minded) and lives in a separate room at upper story of the house. These factors contribute to Hoorain becoming a victim of schizophrenia. Things become complicated when she starts to act like a schizophrenic. She has hallucinations and consider everyone as her enemy. Asfandyar discovers about her disease and helps her but things become complicated and interwoven. Asfand and Hoorain get married, and soon Hoorain discovers she is pregnant which further complicates her schizophrenia. The doctor warns Asfand that pregnancy could lead to Hoorain having more psychotic attacks. Hoorain is admitted for therapy until she visibility starts getting better. Warda, Hoorain sister tries to instigate her against Asfand. Meanwhile, Hoorain suffers a complicated delivery after another of her hallucinations and her mother prays that her baby will be a boy, as every girl would not have a husband as kind and understanding as Asfandyar if the baby inherited her disease. Hoorain gives birth to a healthy boy, who is named Sheheryar. he story is Asfandyar's struggle to help Hoorain recover from this disease. Hoorain is readmitted in the hospital after her hallucinations about Sheheryar, and three months later Asfandyar comes to take her back home as she has recovered, but she fakes losing her memory. However, the name Sheheryar slips out of her mouth, which leads to Asfand discovering she was faking losing her memory as she remembers Sheheryar clearly. Hoorain then reveals she faked this because she wanted to protect her child from her crazy hallucinations and thought she was incapable of raising Sheheryar. Asfand then consoles her and they both embrace, going back home.

Ten years later Asfand, Hoorain and Sheheryar are shown to be living peacefully, and Hoorain has not overcome her schizophrenia completely, but she is learning to control it because of Asfand's patience and treatment.
