Suruli becomes attracted to her, as she picks her books first from the mess. He takes the duo to his village, arranges a home for them, and even gives some money he saved for myna's mom to start as a very small snack vendor. He also gets myna into the school where he eloped from, and she keeps studying. 8 years later, suruli is a hard-working kooli in the neighbouring town and myna is preparing for her +2 exams. She attains puberty and love blossoms between them, which is despised by myna's mom who sees suruli as a not-worthy groom. Though Mynaa's mother assures Suruli of getting them married, she changes her mind and arranges for Mynaa to marry a man working in Dubai.

HC Ramaiah is a happy married man who loves his wife, but is childless. The jail is decorated for the pre-diwali function, and after the function Suruli is found to be missing. The jail staff are shocked as if someting happens to him outside the jail (or) if the DSP can't produce him for court after diwali, all of them will face severe charges. The district jail-chief gives baskar 24-hours to bring him back. meanwhile, baskar was to immediately take his wife to madurai to complete their diwali shopping with her family as this diwali was his Thalai Deepavali . But, to save his job he secretly quits this tradition and goes to suruli's village with ramiah.
