Perspective
Shahir (Mohamed Rasheed) a wealthy businessman falls in love with a gorgeous woman, Shehenaz (Fathimath Rameeza). Through a phone conversation, Shahir arranges a date with Shehenaz, however a widow staying in her house, Shareefa (Sithi Fulhu), shows up to the meeting instead of Shehenaz, much to his discomfort. Shehenaz makes a surprise visit to him near his shop and they bond as they continue their conversation about their lives. A romantic relationship begins and together they start planning their future.
After their marriage, Shahir's father (Abdul Raheem) shows up at their doorstep announcing his disapproval for their relationship. However, their trust and love for each other was strong enough to hold them together. Soon after, she is blessed with the news of pregnancy. Their happiness was short lived as Shehenaz discovers that Shahir is already married to an infertile wealthy woman, Nazima (Waleedha Waleed) and together with his family, he is involved in a scam to "use her body" to fulfill the medical limitation of his first wife. Having the fear of them being exposed, Shahir's father ordered him to bring her back to their house at any cost. Betrayed, Shehenaz moves to her born island while Nazima returns to make the life of Shahir miserable.
