After marrying Putul, Fazlul finds his wife very lonely, and decides to gift her a cow. With this newfound companion, Putul starts to settle in her new place. However, Teesta River’s dams caused the lower region to be affected by drought. The dam’s gates remain closed until the overflow in monsoon. When they do open the gates it causes floods, bringing misery to the livelihood of everyone inhabiting the lower region, including Fazlu and his family.
