Premise

Shahid Shareef (Asad Shareef), an intelligent doctor proposes his colleague, a hardworking nurse, Shiyana (Fathimath Rahma) who accepts him as her love interest despite being hesitant due to their social difference. Meanwhile, his impertinent mother, Shahidha (Fathimath Didi) arranges his marriage with a prideful daughter from a wealthy family, Shehenaz (Fathimath Nizar), whose father, also the step-father of Shahid, financed him with medical education. He gets heartbroken when he hear the news of his marriage being arranged to Shehenaz, though hopeless, he agrees to the wedding. The couples experience infertility and Shahid suggest that his plan for another marriage if his wife cannot conceive a baby for him. Shortly, Shehenaz discovers her husband's affair with Shiyana.

Shahid's father, Muneer (Kaneeru Abdul Raheem), agrees him to marry Shiyana and this initiates a series of hurdles in the family. After the demise of Muneer and Shahidha, Shehenaz dominates in the house and undermines Shiyana at all her attempts. Soon after Shiyana gives birth to a healthy boy, Shahid has to leave abroad for a course. In the meantime, Shehenaz's friend, Ziyad (Easa Shareef) stays in their house. Shehenaz takes the opportunity to plant evidence against her as having an affair with Ziyad. Shiyana, nothing in her defense and none to protect her, is thrown out from Shahid's house.
