Somia (Savera Nadeem) belongs to a wealthy family from valley of Swat and is the only child of her parents. She is studying in university and lives in a hostel in Karachi.
One of her class fellows, Sajid (Adnan Siddiqui), falls in love with her, but she thinks him as a very good friend. She herself is in love with Mehroze (Nabeel), who is a son of feudal lord.
Somia and Mehroze quietly marry without bringing in the knowledge of her or Mehroz's parents and Somia gets pregnant. Sanwal (Aslam Sheikh), who is Mehroze's cousin, murders him due to enmity on the issues of properties.
Somia's father Sajjad Khan (Khayyam Sarhadi) and mother Mahjabeen (Deeba) accept the proposal of Yawar (Asad Malik) for her. They fix the wedding date and calls Somia to come back as she is about to finish her studies being in the final year.
Somia gives birth to a baby girl and leaves her new born with her friend Sajid and promises to come back to take her daughter back. She speaks to her mother and refuses for the marriage but her mum does not listen to her refusal and tells her that she will get killed by her father if she refused.
Somia gets married again with Yawar this time. Sajid sets off for Swat with the baby. When he arrives Somia's home asks about her, he is told that she got married few days back. When asked about the baby, by Somia's father, he tells that it is his own baby. Sajid leaves taking baby with him.
