Gumshuda Moti
A novel by Anisha Umar
“Gumshuda Moti” is the story of two souls — different in their journeys, yet drawn to the same heartbeat of nature and destiny.
It begins with Hadeed Kamal, a man who finds peace not in luxury or city lights, but in the solitude of mountains and the depth of oceans. He is someone who believes in living life on his own terms — away from the mechanical routines of urban life. For Hadeed, simplicity is freedom, and silence is strength.
Then enters Afaf Waheed — a girl raised in the lush green hills of Kashmir. To her, the mountains are not just scenery, but a symbol of life and resilience. She believes greenery brings life, and in the embrace of those towering hills, she finds solace from her inner sorrows. She’s strong, rooted, and quietly carrying the weight of her past.
In Hadeed’s life, there is Zara Waheed — his childhood friend, his companion, and the one who loves him deeply. Zara dreams of marrying Hadeed, but he waits — not for the perfect time, but for his heart’s testimony. He says, “The day my heart confirms that I love Zara, I will marry her.”
But life takes an unexpected turn — one that brings Hadeed and Afaf onto the same path. A turning point arrives, powerful enough to connect their destinies — and from there, the real story begins.
Now the question is:
-
Will Hadeed accept Afaf into his life, or will he let Zara’s presence overshadow Afaf’s identity?
-
Can he ever truly love Afaf, or will he remain emotionally tethered to Zara?
-
Will he be able to uncover the truths of his past — a past mysteriously tied to both himself and Afaf — or will he stay trapped in the manipulations of the present?
Gumshuda Moti is a story of emotional entanglement, self-discovery, and love that doesn’t come easy. It’s about the people we lose, the choices we regret, and the moments that define who we become.
With the breathtaking backdrop of Kashmir, this novel promises a journey filled with heartbreak, healing, and hope.
