Plot

A modest son of a businessman, Nasir, develops feelings for his classmate girl, Nahid, who comes from a low-income household. Both of their parents approve of their marriage after a brief drama. After returning from his wedding with Nahid, Nasir dies in a car accident and Nahid gets injured. Nasir's father designates his daughter-in-law as the successor while still alive. Here comes a criminal named Zafar, who resembles Nasir. He starts living with Nahid and her mother in Nasir's home under the guise of being a distant cousin of Nasir.
