# Searching for Indah The story follows Mariam (Kilafairy), a socially active girl whose life begins to change when she finds a baby abandoned by her biological mother. Maryam, who lives with Mak Som, cares for Indah as carefully as carrying a vessel full of oil. Indah also never knows who her biological parents are. One day, Amri (Amar Asyraf) appears and begins to approach Maryam. Amri tells her how his heart opened again after being left by his beloved, Nina (Mardiana Alwi), whom he loved seven years ago after seeing Maryam and Indah. They separated after things had gone too far. Amri wanted to take responsibility, but Nina was ashamed and wanted to have an abortion. After that, Nina disappeared without a word. Without Maryam's knowledge, Nina, her assistant at the office, is Amri's former girlfriend.
