Jeaye Sassui

Sassui was daughter of a king, who didn't want her, because someone predicted that she would marry a man from another cast (or a muslim), so he puts her in a box and send her adrift in the river. She was caught by a washerman near bhambhor. He raised her like a daughter of his own. As it happens, she was very pretty - thus the name Sassui (meaning moon) - When she grew up she helped her father in his business.

One day a passing by prince of Kech Makran- Punhoo -  got a glimpse of her and instantly fell in love. He pretended to be washerman to get close to the Father of Sassui. As it happens, he didn't know anything of trade and damaged the clothes that came to him, he would hide coins in the damaged clothes to keep people from complaining. And one day he ran out of money, but he learnt the trade by then. He asked for Sassui's hand in marriage and was accepted. On his wedding night he admits the truth to Sassui. They both were deeply in love with each other.

And as fate would have it, Punhoo's brothers came looking for him and discovered him washing dirty laundry of other people. They asked him to come back with him, but he refused. so they pretended to accept his wedding and arranged a party for the bride and groom. they drugged the people in party and kidnapped Punhoo and took him back to Kech...

When Sassui wakes up she finds her husband gone. she asks people about him and was told that he was taken back by his brothers. She decides to go in pursuit of her beloved. Her friends tried to dissuade her, but she told them that if they loved her, they would help her find him and not stop him.

She had to cross the mountains and deserts to get to Kech. During her journey she realizes that she has started seeing Punhoo everywhere and that she has turned in him, while looking for him. Eventually she meets a shepherd - who tried to take her for his bride - Sassui prays to be saved from him. The earth opens and takes Sassui inside, thus saving her from the intentions of the shepherd.

On the other hand when Punhoo regained his senses, he realizes that he is not where he ought to be. He runs away again to be united with his wife. On his way to Bhambore, he passes by a grave and sees a man crying. he askes him what is wrong? The person is the shepherd. he tells him that he found a beautiful bride in the desert by she was swallowed by the earth. Punhoo recognizes the corner of the scarf as Sassui's and prays to be reunited with his beloved. The earth opens and take him in too. The shepherd builds a tomb for them...
