In his limited income and big family issues, he could not save anything for his younger daughter's wedding. The younger daughter is forced to work as her in laws have high demands for wedding. Because of less education she could not find any respectable job in city and is forced to dance in private parties at night. By doing this she was making enough money to fulfill all demands for her in-laws. Her fiancé is a driver in the same city. He has no clue about the demands his mother has made from the girl's family. He loves the girl from bottom of his heart. Once she went for a party there they both met and he expressed his feelings to her.
