Synopsis

Sanatombi is a studious, simple man from Yaiskul. When he returns home from his school boarding, he crosses path with Majaru, a Kabui girl. Sanatombi falls for her. Taking help from the local men like Kaboklei Inaocha and Kokphai, he transformed himself into Yo Sanatombi just to impress Majaru.

Majaru takes the opportunity and plays with Sanatombi but the latter is completely blinded by love. When he learns the truth on April Fool's Day, he suffers from severe depression. With his parents' support and love, he is able to completely recover from it. He does not lose heart and begins to resume his focus on studies. When his hard work and dedication bears fruit, he gives the credit to Majaru. She regrets her past actions and ask Sanatombi for forgiveness.
