Homeless orphan Ranbir Raj re-locates to a small town and orders a glass of milk in the RK Bar. He befriends a prostitute called Gulabji, who invites him to spend the night with her, and when he refuses, she re-directs him to Lillian, who rents out rooms. Ranbir meets with Lillian, who has been living alone for 37 years after her son Vincent left to join the army--and never returned. He charms her and rents a room from her. He gets a job as a singer in a local restaurant. Returning home on the occasion of Eid, he comes across a woman standing on the bridge. He finds her very attractive, befriends her, walks her home, and finds out that her name is Sakina and she's a carpet weaver who lives with her aunt and blind grandma. Just when Ranbir is about to confess his love, she tells him that she has already given her heart to Imaan, a former tenant of her grandmother's. Imaan had left, promising to return on Eid, but has not done so. She finds out that he might be staying at the Momim Lodge and asks Ranbir to deliver a letter to him. A crestfallen Ranbir destroys the letter but goes to Momim Lodge, where he finds out that nobody named Imaan has ever lived there. Encouraged, he returns back and attempts to win Sakina's heart. Will he succeed? Or will Sakina spend the rest of her life waiting for Imaan's return?
