Synopsis

The storyline involves a young couple whose intended arranged marriage did not come to pass, due to a mysterious circumstance. While the man subsequently married and had a daughter, the girl remained a spinster with an adopted son.

As life would have it, this adopted son and the daughter fell in love with each other. While her father did not object to their relationship, his adopted mother totally disapproved and was against their very friendship. Would this young couple be similarly denied a marriage union as had been the fate of their parents?

The climax of their dilemma contains all the ingredients of the Baba Peranakan lifestyle as well as the local influences that will whet the appetite of the Wayang Peranakan fans.

This show, with the plot spanning the period 1945 to the present day, is further spiced with a light hearted subplot of matchmaking and comic characters.
