The two families decide to get them married according to the wishes of Rahel and Anthony. Chandy is a rich landlord of the village and his son Rajan returns to his village after doing his studies abroad. Rajan gets attracted to Rahel and approach her parents to express the interest to marry her. Rajan was unaware of Rahel's relationship with Anthony. Chandy refuses Rajan's proposal only because Rahel is poor, but finally agreed with his son's wish. Rahel's greedy parents agree with Rajan's proposal, forgetting the promise they had made to Anthony's parents. This decision creates enmity between both families, who were once good neighbors. Rahel is helpless and unable to object. Anthony falls ill and dies on the day of Rahel's marriage with Rajan. Unable to bear the grief, she faints and dies after a few days.
