Husband Aakush Vaikai lives with his wife and daughter Patcherta in a house in a small, dull town called Charsaj. The reader soon learns that Bachirta is no longer young, but is thirty-five years old, and that she is very mean, which represents a great concern for the parents; She may never find a husband for herself, and they have reached a very old age, and death may take them at any moment. So their main concern was to hide their daughter's blood and protect her from the world. Excitement is great now in the family; Patcherta is preparing to travel to Tarku Farm, where her uncle Bella's family lives, to spend a week with them, and she will be away from them for the first time. The parents prepare their daughter for travel with fearful thinking. The parents haven't been going anywhere for a long time, and haven't been together for years. They go to church alone, and the reason is Bachirta's ugliness, which exposes them to severe embarrassment because people make fun of her. The parents drop Bachirta at the train station and say goodbye to her. During the week, parents feel more relaxed than they have ever felt before. Yes, they miss their daughter, but now they can meet old friends and hang out again without fear of any embarrassment. One time, the husband was playing gambling with his friends and drinking in a restaurant. He was very late, and the wife waiting at home did not know where he was, because he used to come home sometime before midnight. When the husband returns home, he quarrels with his wife. In a slightly drunk state, he speaks very frankly about his daughter's condition, which calls for ridicule, and says that perhaps it is better for them that his daughter travel and not be at home. It is clear from the mother’s words that she knows that the husband is right, because their daughter is ugly and very ugly, and therefore it is difficult for her to adapt to society or find a place for herself in it, but nevertheless she strongly defends her daughter, and tries to spread hope in her husband, and even in herself first. The week passes, and the parents head together to the train station to receive their daughter. The train is late and they start thinking bad things, but Bachirta arrives in the end. The father feels that all is not well with Bachirta. He knows that his daughter was, in fact, a burden to everyone on her uncle's farm, and she could not adapt there and even Uncle Bella's guests did not accept her. Patcherta lies on her bed in her room and starts thinking. He was surprised that her being away from home was in vain. She learned that although they welcomed her at the farm with love and treated her kindly, she was an obstacle in everyone's way. She turns the pages of her life in front of her, which only involves cooking, washing, and cleaning all her days. She begins to sob, and so that her parents do not hear her crying, she covers her mouth with her pillow, which is what she has done all her life. The novel deals with an issue that is widespread in our Arab culture now, which is the delay in the age of marriage for girls and the fear of spinsterhood, and discusses it from the perspective of the prevailing culture in Hungary in the second half of the nineteenth century. The novel also addresses some of the behaviors that occurred in society in that period and were strange to it at that time.
