Plot
Temba has three sons, Achouba, Yaima and Tondonba. Achouba is a noted nat-sankirtan singer. His wife Leimarembi is a dutiful wife, whose manners and discipline impress his father-in-law Temba. Yaima is an engineer and his wife Phajabi is a complete contrast of Leimarembi. Temba’s youngest son Tondonba is a bachelor who is searching for jobs, and is in relationship with Thaballei. Thaballei doesn’t consider their relationship seriously and develops relations with Nongdamba. Bembem, who has just passed matriculation, is not happy with her sister Thaballei’s treatment to Tondonba. Tondonba, on the other hand, begins to fall in love with Bembem for her simple nature. Bembem also starts loving Tondonba. At this time, Thaballei learned that Nongdamba is already married. So, she tries to get close to Tondonba, but when she only realised that Tondonba and Bembem are already in love with each other, she tries her best to reach their destiny.
