Perspective
Yasir (Ahmed Nimal) reluctantly accepts a mute and deaf man, Yoosuf Ali (Yoosuf Shafeeu) as a servant at his house. His daughters, Usha Yasir (Niuma Mohamed) and Leesa (Zeenath Abbas) have a hard time welcoming a man as an attendant. Realizing their detestation towards him, their grandmother (Fauziyya Hassan) tried to kick him out of the house but Usha ultimately stopped her, sympathizing about his unfortunate situation. As time flies, Usha and Yoosuf share a romantic attraction towards each other. Yoosuf is then introduced to Aslam (Mohamed Manik), Usha's fiancé, which breaks his heart and determined to move back to his island. Before that, their affair was exposed to Yasir where he drags him out of the house.
Anguished, Usha reveals her true affection towards Aslam but decides to marry him fearing it might tarnish her father's reputation otherwise. With the help of her friend, Aree (Mariyam Siyadha), Usha meets Yoosuf minutes before his departure and goes to his island along with him which results in her father disowning her and warning the family never to reach out to Usha. Mary, the childhood best friend of Yoosuf who is secretly in love with him was very excited to hear the news of his return although she was devastated to see Usha with him. Yoosuf and Usha get married despite her father's disapproval and months later they have a baby boy, Yoonus (Ahmed Lais Asim). On hearing the joyous news, Yasir comes to take Usha, Yoosuf and Yoonus back to Male'. Considering the fact that, Yoonus will be hailed better in a place like Male', Yoosuf agreed to relocate. Things start to fall apart when Yoosuf is continuously humiliated by his father-in-law and he moves back to his island with his son.
