Plot

When he starts looking and discovering things around him, he is amazed by seeing a baby monitor. A while later, he hears a baby crying. The sound is transmitted from the monitor, followed by a women's lullaby. He is further astonished, when he realizes that he is wearing a wedding ring on his finger. As a result he gets confused concerning his identity.

After a few minutes, Aminath Shifa/Nisha (Aishath Rishmy) enters the room and behaves like his wife. She tried to convince him that he is Fazeel. She reveals that he met with an accident, and can only remember things that happened recently. She medicates him in order for him to recover. However, since no change has been identified, he loses control and get furious. In return she had to hurt him in order to save their baby.

She struggles enough to save their wedding and their baby. His past and present is revealed in bits, before the truth is finally revealed.
