Though this is the main line of story, a number of minor characters and stories associated with Nila are intermingled in the series. Nila stays with Kokila and Ramkumar and loves them like her parents and the couple reciprocates it. Suspicion creeps in the mind of Nila when she overhears the conversation between Sharadha and Ramkumar.
