Seven years have passed since the tumultuous events of their past, and now Kaveri and Vidya find themselves living together in a modest home, accompanied by the spirited Abhira. The three of them have formed a close-knit family, navigating the challenges of daily life together. Abhira, ever the diligent one, meticulously double-checks every detail, her determination to avoid mistakes palpable in the air.
As they prepare for the day ahead, Kaveri and Vidya call out to Abhira, bringing her focus back to the present. Abhira, with a hint of concern in her voice, questions whether Kaveri and Vidya plan to head to the business without donning their traditional saris. This reminder serves as a personal mantra for her; she cannot afford to make any more mistakes. Kaveri, youthful and spirited, reassures her that she is still young enough to embrace a casual look. However, Abhira insists that time is slipping away, urging them to hurry. With a sense of urgency, the trio sets off together, with Vidya taking the lead by reading the map for Kaveri, who rides the scooty.
As they navigate the bustling streets, Kaveri, in her excitement, accidentally bumps into something, causing a minor commotion. Suddenly, they find themselves being stopped by the police. Tensions rise as Kaveri engages in a heated argument with the officers, her frustrations boiling over. The police, unimpressed with the confrontation, decide to take Kaveri, Vidya, and Abhira to the station for questioning. In the midst of this chaos, Abhira turns to Vidya, asking her to take charge of the situation. With her calm demeanor, Vidya attempts to reason with the police, pleading for understanding and asking them to excuse the elderly woman in their group.
Feeling offended by the implication of her age, Kaveri snaps back at Vidya, questioning whether she is being labeled as an old lady. Eventually, after a tense exchange, Kaveri drops Abhira off at the court, where emotions run high. Gazing at the imposing structure, Kaveri becomes overwhelmed, reflecting on the hardships they have faced. Abhira, ever the voice of reason, advises her to stop dwelling on the past and focus on the present. Vidya encourages Abhira to proceed to the court, while Kaveri, filled with determination, tells Vidya to work hard. As they part ways, Abhira wishes both Vidya and Kaveri good luck with their sales endeavors.
Once inside, Abhira engages in a discussion about their case with Kaveri, during which she notices a jar of mayonnaise and decides to take it for later. Meanwhile, Vidya and Kaveri are busy trying to sell saris to potential customers. In a moment of frustration, Kaveri ends up taunting one of the customers, prompting Vidya to call for Abhira’s assistance. Abhira, sensing the urgency, leaves her conversation to help them, also grabbing the mayonnaise on her way.
With Abhira’s support, Kaveri and Vidya successfully manage to sell several saris, and the three of them share a moment of celebration as they count the money they’ve earned. Excitement fills the air as Vidya and Abhira head off to buy vegetables for dinner, but Kaveri soon notices them engaged in a lighthearted argument over the best tomatoes and coriander.
Later that evening, as they gather around to prepare dinner, the mood shifts to one of playful banter. Abhira and Kaveri complain that Vidya always seems to make the same vegetable dish, and Kaveri finds herself craving the tangy taste of mayonnaise. Just as they are about to settle down, the lights suddenly go out, plunging them into darkness. Vidya informs Abhira that they have run out of candles, but Abhira, resourceful as ever, manages to bring light back into their home using a clever trick of her own.
In a moment of reflection, Kaveri remarks on their struggles, emphasizing that despite the hardships, they remain strong together. She expresses her longing for the Poddars, who were once a significant part of their lives. Abhira, sensing her emotional state, assures Kaveri that one day, they will return to their home and reclaim what was taken from them. Kaveri, moved by Abhira’s words, feels a wave of emotion wash over her.
