as Pavithran and Uma are Army officers posted there. The jovial and amiable atmosphere brings cheer and happiness back to Meenakshi. Giri, a family friend of Pavi, falls in love with Meenakshi, but she is not ready to accept his feelings. Akhil Chandran, Meenakshi's spoiled cousin, was supported by her father after the death of his parents. Her father always wanted her to marry Akhil. However, his extra-possessive attitude and violent behavior had created problems for her. Though she never had any soft feelings for him, Meenakshi had promised her father on his deathbed that she would marry Akhil. Pavi and Uma now want Meenakshi to marry Giri, who is a soft-spoken and fun-loving guy. Akhil goes missing for a long time. Pavi suggests that Meenakshi should wait six months. If Akhil doesn't turn up by that time, Meenakshi should accept Giri. She agrees. She mails Akhil about her decision but does not receive any reply. Giri and Meenakshi grow close. Suddenly, one evening, a man named Renji turns up at the quarter of Giri. Renji, a close friend of Akhil, informs Giri that Akhil has had an accident on his way to Krishnagudi and is partially paralysed. He was under Renji's care, and now Renji has to leave for the U.S. So, Akhil should be handed over to Meenakshi. Giri breaks down after hearing the news that Akhil is returning. Giri and Jose, his roommate, take Akhil to a vacant quarter nearby and decide to take care of him, without letting Meenakshi or Pavi know. Akhil, a completely changed man, does not want to be a burden to Meenakshi and wants her to marry Giri as she had planned. After a few days, Giri is unable to take it anymore and reveals the truth to Meenakshi and Pavi. When she learns this, Meenakshi believes it is her moral responsibility to take care of the paralysed Akhil, and she decides to leave Krishnagudi for
