Plot

Sumon is wealthy, whereas Sumi Chowdhury is poor. Despite this, they are childhood friends who immediately fall in love. Farha, Sumon's other childhood friend and the daughter of his father's wealthy friend and business partner, also loves him, but he only sees her as a friend. Sumon's parents and Farha's father arrange their marriage, much to Farha's delight. However, Sumon immediately rejects the idea because he loves Sumi. When Farha finds out, she is heartbroken and jealous, vowing to break them up. This further complicates the love triangle. Then, in an accident caused by henchmen working for Farha's father, Sumon loses his memory. Sumon's mother dies of shock upon learning of his memory loss. On the day of the arranged wedding, Farha commits suicide in front of Sumon, Sumi and her father because she regrets forcing Sumon into the marriage and losing him as a result.
