Plot

Thabaton 1

Thabaton, a girl, eloped with her lover Yaima. Their relationship resulted in the conflict between the two lovers' families, even causing murder of each other's family members. However, Thaba and Yaima never parted each other. To retaliate the loss of sons (Yaima's brothers), Yaima's mother sent Yaima to a distant place for his further studies, and she tortured pregnant Thaba during Yaima's absence. A few moments after the child birth, Thaba was forced to leave the house, telling her a lie that Yaima was dead in an air crash. On the other side, Yaima was told by his parents that Thaba willingly left home as she didn't want to stay with them. Unaware of the conspiracies, Thaba married to another man and had a peaceful life. Later, she discovered the truth that her former husband was still alive. When Thaba met Yaima again to explain everything to him, her second husband saw her, which created a misunderstanding in her second husband's mind. Fighting all the odds, Thaba cleared all the misunderstandings from the two men. In the end, Thaba lived with her second husband and had a child. Yaima brought up his child born by Thaba.[5]
