Due to his straightforward behavior, Saleem ( Ali Shameel) is fired from his job which he lies to his wife Wafiyya ( Aminath Rasheedha) as quitting the job for self-respect. When she inquires about his decision, frustrated Saleem divorces her. He takes custody of their only child, Nihan ( Ismail Rasheed) and takes good care of him. He later marries his neighbor, Amira (Zuleykha Abdul Latheef) who acts like a mother-figure to Nihan until she delivers her first child. Nihan constantly being harassed by his step-mother becomes neglected by his own father too. Meanwhile, Amira conspires against Nihan which leads into his banishment from their island.
