Premise
Fazna (Mariyam Afeefa), a diligent primary teacher and Inaya (Khadheeja Ibrahim Didi), a talkative tomboyish farmer are two childhood best friends whose attitude and behavior are wildly different. Inaya does not believe in love while Fazna rejects a passionate parent for wanting more than love from her. A drug addict, Adheel (Ibrahim Jihad) is self-exiled to their island as part of his rehabilitation program. This initiates the first rift between Inaya and Fazna as they both slowly long for him. However, this misunderstanding is soon cleared up between the friends which leads to the happy marriage of Inaya and Adheel, much to the excitement of their families and the locals.
A gossipy and straightforward shopkeeper, Raziyya (Neena Saleem) helps Fazna's elderly mother, Dhaleyka Moosa (Fauziyya Hassan) to discover her husband's infidelity which leads to Dhaleyka realizing her self-worth. Meanwhile, Adheel starts showing symptoms of his early identified disease, bronchiectasis while Inaya is pregnant to their first child. Adheel is diagnosed with lung cancer and dies at the exact time as Inaya gives birth to a healthy child. Inaya struggles to overcome the loss of her husband, while his father, Waheed (Ahmed Nimal) determines to fulfil his son's dying wish to take care of his baby at any cost.
After 15 years, Fazna and Inaya's childhood friend, Muradh (Ahmed Saeed) returns to his island after quitting his job as a sailor. Muradh, who has yearned for Fazna's love since his youth, gets help from his persuasive sister, Raziyya, to convince Dhaleyka into marrying Fazna to Muradh. Having realized that they both share similar sentiments towards each other, Fazna and Muradh get married. Fazna rejoices in her choice to marry him until her childhood crush, Aslam (Mohamed Manik) makes a surprise entrance at her wedding party. Realizing that Fazna's feelings for Aslam still remain the same and unchanged, Muradh's insecurities increase which leads him to suspect Aslam and Fazna and ultimately turn into an aggressive and violent husband. He punishes her by forcing her to quit school, and Muradh along with his sister Raziyya rejoice on accomplishing the first stage of their mission, which is to deprive Fazna of contentment.
Following the tempering of his witnesses; Ishaq, Raziyya and Murad, Waheed wins his case for the custody of Inaya's son, Shizan, which leads her to be mentally disturbed. An empowering speech by the island's council makes Fazna identify her self-worth and finally speak up against her husband who in return divorces her in rage. Soon after their separation, Fazna bonds with Aslam and tries to confess her feelings towards him on several occasions until she admits defeat as Aslam's girlfriend, Leeza (Aishath Siyadha) makes a surprise visit to Aslam.
