The story follows Sofea, a girl who has problems with her mother, Nora. Sofea has been in a relationship with Armin for some time, and Armin's family wants to come and propose marriage and arrange the wedding ceremony between them, but this is prevented by Sofea's mother. Sofea's father, Fauzi, is a van driver and is rarely at home. Nora is very fierce and does not show affection to her child. Fauzi's mother, Nek Yam, suddenly falls ill, which prompts Fauzi to want to have her live with them. This desire is strongly opposed by Nora, who has never gotten along with her mother-in-law. From this, a past story is uncovered that explains why Nora hates Nek Yam so much.
