Cathy is an American who came to visit India and is looking for a local guide who can take her everywhere in India. Appachan asks Josemon to do the job. Josemon is supposed to take her to Jaipur on road from where she will fly back to the US.

But during the few days at the hospital, Josemon had to sell-off his bike to meet the hospital expenses and Cathy's interview.
