Synopsis

An unfortunate incident leads Nganthoi to paint in her mind a very bad image of Ningthem. The latter also judges Nganthoi giving her an obnoxious tag that have the potential to give a very wrong impression about the women of her locality in general. In due course of time, both realise that their prejudices are utterly wrong. They accept their mistakes and fall for one another. When their marriage is about to take place, Nganthoi faces another obstacle in her life. Ningthem gets to know about it and helps in solving the problem. Thaba's unrequited love for Ningthem finds solace in accepting Lanchenba's love for her.
