Her brother Manuel (Lalu Alex) also resides in a flat in Chennai. Their next-door neighbors are Major Unnikrishnan (Suresh Gopi), a retired Major who has a pet dog, Jimmy, and Bibeesh (Dulquer Salmaan) who lives with a serial-actress aunt and his young school-going brother.

Nikki is looking for a groom through a matrimonial portal and she is very picky. She keeps on rejecting all the alliances that come to her. She casually tells her friends that she once really liked a guy named Aby (Rahul Rajasekharan) but she did not pursue the relationship because his mom joked about her looks. Her friends message him from her phone when she was not around and then the two start seeing each other again. Nikki also gets really close with Aby's mom Dr. Sherly (Urvashi).

Major Unnikrishnan has anger management issues and he starts going to a Dr. Bose (Johny Antony) to get himself treated. Neena also goes to the same place to teach dance. Slowly they start a liking for each other. Noticing this their flatmates start to gossip and it reaches Nikki's ears as well. Nikki questions Neena and Neena does not deny this. Nikki tells her fiance about this and he immediately breaks up. Nikki starts hating her mother because of this. She tells Neena that more than her fiance, she misses her mom a lot.

During this time, their flat becomes flooded, and Bibeesh and his brother shift to Nikki's house. Slowly they fall in love. One night Bibeesh & his brother have a disgusting fight & Nikki stops the quarrel by taking Bibeesh onto the top of the terrace.

Meanwhile he loses his father in an accident & his mother's hospitalized. He narrates the day when his father died to be the worst, he says that he always had an extra pair of keys in his school bag but unfortunately on that particular day he has forgotten his another pair of keys & he has to wait in his neighbour's house for time being, meanwhile Bibeesh recollects about a gross experience of vomiting after sipping a squash that he has drunk at his neighbours house & feels that in any moment of his life, even a thought about that incident will still give him vomiting sensation.
