The central character, Ramesh, is a lawyer by profession. He shares a silent, unspoken romance with Hemnalini. Neither of them says anything to the other, yet both know what is in each other's hearts. Every human being has to go through such complex psychological equations of the heart at some point in life, but it always remains unexpressed—the author has conveyed this psychological theme through the character portrayal of Ramesh and Hemnalini.
Pressed by his father's strict discipline, Ramesh goes to the village and is forced to enter into an unwanted marriage. After the wedding, a boat capzises on the way back with his newlywed bride.
