Premise


Ali (Mohamed Rasheed) and Mohamed (Ahmed Sharumeel) are two exemplary siblings, who always have each other's back. An unfortunate incident leads Mohamed being handicapped while Ali gets the chance to study in Male'. Years later, Ali stopped writing to Mohamed though the latter desperately waits for a news from him. Ali, now named as Shifaz, lives with a well educated and modern family, where he starts a romantic relationship with the landlord's daughter, Zaina (Mariyam Rasheedha). Her parents fixed her marriage with a wealthy man, Basheer (Hamid Wajeeh), whose scam was later exposed to Zaina's father. Hence, he favored Shifaz and Zaina's marriage despite her mother's disapproval. Meanwhile, Mohamed visits Male' hoping to reunite with his long-lost brother and stays with Ruqiyya (Haajara Abdul Kareem) a vile woman who mistreats her visitor.
