Story

Dhanuka is a handsome boy in his early twenties. He lives in Matale with his parents and sister. Due to their poverty, at the end of his school education he comes to Colombo. His father sends him to Senarath Maliyadde in order to get a job in his company. Senarath Maliyadde who lives in Nugegoda is a rich businessman and also a good friend of Dhanuka's father.

Sansala, Maliyadde's only daughter, is a beautiful proud girl in her late teenage. She just has her father and younger brother. She received a marriage proposal from her aunt's son Saliya. She show little interest in Saliya. She spends her life happily but is sometimes maudlin about the death of her mother.

After a long and arduous journey, Dhanuka arrives unheralded at Maliyadde's home. Sansala opens the door to him and, considering him a perfect stranger, starts to question and blame him. Dhanuka falls for her instantly. Maliyadde being out at the time and brother and sister knowing nothing of him, they leave Dhanuka at the gate notwithstanding a heavy downpour and he and his belongings are soaked.
