They engage in a murmur of arguments and Sheela develops a dislike for Opu. Later Opu wants to be friends with Sheela and sends her a stamp agreement with the terms and conditions of their friendship. Sheela reads and smiles at it. Their friendship goes off to a wonderful start. Opu used to write poems for Sheela, but he stopped writing after sometime. At the 1st anniversary celebration of their friendship, Sheela gifts her a pen asks him to write poems for her again. At that night while talking over phone, Sheela's sister, Dola mocks her of always being on phone with Opu and tells her to marry him off. Hearing this Opu says he'd rather go off as a saint somewhere rather marry someone. At that Sheela taunts her saying he doesn't have what it takes. So Opu jokingly takes on a bet that he'd propose Sheela's father for her hand. The next day, Sheela wakes up to see huge arrangements in her house. When she asks Dola what happened, she confesses she told everyone that her boyfriend is coming to her house with a marriage proposal. Sheela tries telling her father the truth but couldn't make it as he gets emotional. So she calls Opu to come and solve the matter.
