The Story – A Reflection of Real Life Emotions

The drama explores the emotional journey of individuals who, after losing their life partners and witnessing their children move abroad for education and livelihood, find themselves battling loneliness.

In this melancholy, they unexpectedly discover companionship in someone of the opposite gender—someone who understands their silence, their longing, and their emptiness.
But society’s judgment casts a long shadow over their newfound affection.

A Twist of Destiny

Just as the couple begins to embrace this delicate second chance at love, they learn that their children too—unbeknownst to them—are in love with each other. The father of the boy and the mother of the girl suddenly find themselves in a situation where their personal happiness clashes with the happiness of their children.

The drama beautifully portrays how the hero even tries to change his habits for his beloved, capturing the emotional transformation that love brings at any age.
