Meanwhile, Vembu (Prabhu), a recent village arrival, reconnects with Kasthuri and her family, having known them from his hometown. There, Kasthuri and his sister Devaki were childhood classmates. Devaki's aspirations to become a doctor filled Vembu with pride. Although Vembu harbors feelings for Kasthuri, their relationship remains platonic, lacking reciprocation from Kasthuri.
