Additionally, their disparate religions obstructed their matrimony; Robyn is a Muslim and Liza is a Christian. When they take a step toward a love marriage, Liza goes to Church. She is shocked to learn that Robyn is Muslim, while Robyn is shocked to learn she is Christian. They separate and try to forget each other. Instead they are soon together again, determined to stay. Their families learn about this situation and take action. Robyn's father Raihan Chowdhury (Abul Hayat) and Liza's father Abraham Dikosta (Wasimul Bari Rajib) start a conflict due to previous business relations.
The final plot twist shows that Liza is not Abraham Dikosta's daughter. She was born in a Muslim family and her birth father is "Abdul Rahim" (Anowar Hossain). One day, Abdul Rahim's and Abraham Dikosta's full families cross a river on a ferry. A cyclone spills everyone into the water. The survivors search for their family members.
