The series follows the story of Saman, a professional working woman whose father's love and care have made her stubborn, albeit headstrong. Her conservative aunt often tries to reach out to her. Saman gets engaged twice, and both engagements break off due to Saman. For the second engagement, she goes to the guy's house to break off the engagement. Then following these incidents, Saman's aunt, her father's elder sister, comes with a proposal for her of a man named Omar. He is settled in the USA but is a divorcee. Her aunt decides not to tell Saman about Omar's previous marriage. Since Saman's stubbornness is well known in the family, her parents believe it best to get her married at this point and decide to accept Omar's proposal for Saman. On their wedding night, Omar decides to tell Saman of his past, and Saman reacts badly to this news and tells her parents that she does not want to move to the USA. However, her parents are unmoved by her attempts at blackmail, and she goes with her husband to the home awaiting in the USA. Saman meets the daughter of Mr Qasim, who is like a father to Omar. They become friends, and she shows Saman around. During this time, we see how weak and grave the relationship between Saman and Omar is.
