# English Translation The story presents the life of a tomoi champion who falls in love with a traditional Kelantan dancer but is forced to face enemies in the art of tomoi. Adi is raised by his grandfather, Tok Weng, to become a skilled tomoi boxer. Time passes and when Adi grows up, he consistently wins every tomoi competition he enters.

On the night of a tomoi match between Adi and Samrak, Mariam overhears a conversation about a plan to kill Adi by poisoning him. Mariam flees from there in a hurried state. As soon as Jali realizes that Mariam has heard their conversation, Mariam is chased by Jali. He does not want Mariam to foil their plan by exposing the matter.
