Premise

Zuhudha (Fathimath Nizar) is married to the school headmaster, Ashraf (Easa Shareef), and resides in S. Gan with her husband and his brother, Shihab (Asad Shareef). Shihab is known for his short temper and hyperactive nature, but he shares a close bond with Zuhudha. When Zuhudha's proud mother and her younger sister, Seema (Mariyam Rasheedha), visit them from Male', they are irritated by Shihab's behavior. As time passes, tensions rise, and Ashraf and Seema engage in harmful actions. Eventually, Ashraf becomes so infuriated with Shihab that he ejects him from the house. During this period, Seema starts developing feelings for Shihab.

Shihab heads to Male', where he is welcomed by Chilhiya Moosa Manik, who appreciates his empathy and kindness. Upon Manik's request, Shihab stays at his home until he becomes financially stable enough to live independently. While on his deathbed, Manik expresses his wish for Shihab to marry his daughter, Aashiya, a proposal that Shihab accepts. Shihab faces the challenges of poverty and takes on various unideal jobs to support him and Aashiya. During his work, Shihab crosses paths with Seema, who extends an invitation to her birthday party. Despite numerous obstacles, Seema is determined to win Shihab's heart while Aashiya longs for the love of Shihab too, leaving the difficult choice to Shihab.
