Dilaila is a cheerful, determined and optimistic girl despite her childhood not being as beautiful as others. Dilaila was born without the knowledge of her father, Sulaiman, who had already divorced her mother, Salinah when she was in the womb. Dilaila was handed over by Nek Tijah to Salimah to be cared for and to be a replacement for Luqman, Salimah's biological son who is disabled. Salimah despises Luqman so much that she is willing to torture him out of revenge against her ex-husband Talib. Dilaila is not afraid to stand up for Luqman after Nek Tijah passes away and cares for Luqman with full affection. Dilaila's budding romance with Amer faces strong opposition from Noraini who despises Salimah. However, Razak likes Dilaila and wants her to be his daughter-in-law. Dilaila's best friend Jessila secretly has feelings for Amer and is willing to do anything to have him. Noraini plots with Jessila's mother to prevent Dilaila's relationship with Amer.
