Plot

Arubi often plots against her Inamma, Memtombi, for no good reason. Chingkheinganba is aware but never acts against his sister for the sake of maintaining peace in the family. When one of Arubi's plan against Memtombi fails miserably and her brother gets to face the consequences, she elopes with her boyfriend Ngahakchao. When Bem (Ngahakchao's sister) treats her Inamma, Arubi with care and respect, Arubi is filled with regret and remorse for her acts done to her Inamma. She begs for forgiveness.^{[citation needed]}

Unfortunately, Memtombi dies while giving birth to her first child. To make up for the loss, Arubi plans to marry Bem to her brother. This creates a tension among the lovebirds Bem and Nongyai, the latter also happens to be Memtombi's younger brother. When Chingkheinganba discovers this, he foils Arubi's plan.^{[citation needed]}
