Unni first gets rejected quite harshly, but then David regrets his actions and calls him back, asking for him to narrate the story.

Unni narrates the story of Amal (Asif Ali) from Payyannur. Amal’s love life with Sithara (Shruthi Ramachandran) met with an unexpected ending as she accepted a marriage proposal. He decides to go to Ernakulam for a job so that he can stay away from his past. He shares a house with V. P. Vipeesh aka Rahul (Dharmajan), Vinu (Nirmal Palazhi) and Narayanankutty aka Nakkutty (Siddique).

The movie shows the things that happen in Amal’s life during that phase where he meets Anu (Aparna Balamurali) a medical student and eventually falls in love with her. Anu reciprocates his feelings as she is saved by Amal when a person tries to abuse her. They decide to get married leaving Sithara fume in jealousy.
