Ishan (Mohamed Faisal), a colleague, opined to strengthen their marketing strategy and create fresh and innovative advertisements. Niuma was selected as the exclusive model for the company and was invited to a gathering to introduce a new product of the company. During the party, Nashid was introduced as the second shareholder of the company. In his speech, Nashid thanked Fairooz for upholding the business which was started by Nashid's father. Later, Nisha apologised to Nashid for making fun of him and acting rude. The duo befriends and to Nisha's surprise, Nashid proposed her to marry him. Nashid and Nisha decided to marry in a week despite his aunt's disapproval. It was revealed that Fairooz ploys to own the company, though his mother is entitled to only ten percent of the company's ownership by will, the rest passed on to Nashid.
After marriage, Nashid terminated the contract of Nisha being the exclusive model of the company and informed Fairooz not to use any of her advertisements previously prepared for marketing. Fairooz's mother started mistreating Nisha and oppressing her for being for being an outsider. Fairooz offered a serial killer (Ahmed Ziya) to kill Nashid. In a failed attempt, it was revealed that Nashid was paralysed below waist and suffers male infertility. Feeding her of guilt with all unfortunates, Nashid sees Nisha with Jana and misinterpreted it as an affair. Accusing her of taking advantages of his physical weakness, Nashid divorces her and throws her out of the house.
With the help of company's lawyer, Manik (Roanu Hassan Manik), Fairooz started to snatch the ownership of company into his hands. Ziya blackmails Fairooz to pay the rest of money, when he defied the payment for not settling the contract with all its terms. Fairooz paid him fully and warned him not to meet ever again. Sympathizing about Nashid and his situation, Fairooz's mother tried talking Fairooz out of his plan. However, deceived with other documents, Nashid signed the company's ownership transfer documents unknowingly. Fairooz's mother gets hold of the documents and hid it.
Nisha was offered the job of babysitting Nishath since Nahees decided to join the clinic inaugurated by his friend Faiz. Nahees was surprised to see Nisha since she looked identical to his deceased wife Ainth. Nishath started behaving mischievously with Nisha since she does not want any one in her house beside her mother. They later started to bond and Nahees started to grow feelings towards her. As a patient, Nashid was consulted with Nahees and he recommended to start medication immediately. He informed that Nahees's incapability to walk was temporary but maybe permanent if an operation is delayed. The operation went smoothly and he was able to walk again. One night, Nahees proposed her but Nisha revealed to him that she had been earlier married to Nashid. Nisha was visited by Nashid much to her surprise, and she was astound to see he can walk. Nashid revealed that he saw his aunt tormenting her and he never doubted her loyalty, but he was forced to divorce her for her good.
On his way to home, he was encountered with Ziya and out of fear, he spilled the truth; Fairooz paid him to kill Nashid. Questioned about his envy, Fairooz revealed that he avenges the death of his father. Fairooz's father was fired from the company and was forbidden to meet him till he dies. His mother disclosed that her husband abused her till he dies, and Nashid's father was the one who helped them through hardship. Fairooz asked forgiveness from Nashid and he agreed. Nahees decided to move to Malaysia with his daughter. But before he leaves, he requested Nahees and Nashid to look after his daughter.
