Premise

Nadhiya (Aishath Shiranee) along with her family goes to a nearby uninhabited island for picnic, where she meets Asif (Hassan Afeef). She encounters a bitterful interaction with him and is loathed by his presence until he saves her from a group of thugs. This softens her hatred towards him though the tables were changed where Asif suspects her change of intention as a part of her revenge plan. The trip ends when they both reunite and starts longing for each other. Shortly after, they start dating though their happiness is short-lived as her father, Moosafulhu (Chilhiya Moosa Manik) is coerced by his business partner, Ibrahimfulhu (Ibrahim Shakir) to arrange their children's marriage in order to strengthen their friendship.

Moosafulhu announces his disapproval towards their relationship as he considers Asif to be raised in a more wealthier family and accuses all his heroic moments to be his masterplan to win Nadhiya's heart. He further blames the death of his wife on Asif's father, Hussain Manik, the manager of Ibrahimfulhu, as he refused to financially help Moosafulhu when his wife was on the verge of dying in childbirth. Moosafulhu forces her to marry Ibrahimfulhu's son, Jameel, who is later revealed to be the leader of the thugs who initially once tried to rape Nadhiya.
