The story tells about Bhima's life and troubles with her husband Gopal, and granddaughter Maya that she cares for. Bhima's life has been a hard one. She has grown close to Sera in a way that is untypical for servants and the wealthy family they work for.

Sera, after losing her husband now has her pregnant daughter, and son-in-law living with her. The two families are connected in a way that neither would have imagined.
