Bala, a history teacher, works at a hillside primary school where Nirmala is hired as a temporary music teacher. He hides his growing feelings for her, too shy to confess or act on them. Their professional lives begin to intertwine as they spend more time together.

Bala's affection for Nirmala deepens, but he remains unable to admit his feelings. He continues his daily routine while quietly observing her, torn between friendship and desire. The tension of unspoken love colors their early interactions.

Deciding to grow closer, Bala volunteers to accompany Nirmala to her ancestral village. The trip is framed as a chance to share experiences away from the classroom. Bala hopes the distance will help him open up about his feelings.

On the way, Bala runs into his old friend Babu, whom he hasn't seen in a long time. The reunion injects a new dynamic into their plans and redirects or broadens their journey. The encounter reawakens Bala's sense of friendship and support.

Babu arranges for Bala and Nirmala to be brought to a hotel, changing the setting from a road trip to a more private space. The enclosed environment intensifies the emotional stakes between them. This shift foreshadows the troubles to come.

Nirmala suddenly passes out, and Bala immediately calls an ambulance. Medical staff attend to her and she regains consciousness, but the moment strains Bala as he fights to protect her. The incident creates a public misperception of Bala's intentions.

After recovering, Nirmala asks Bala to drop her off at the bus stop rather than staying with her. Bala agrees, showing respect for her wishes and his continued care. Their relationship appears to shift toward distance rather than closeness.

Teena arrives and reveals that Papachan, her father's close friend, has been pressuring her to sleep with a wealthy man. She pleads for Bala's help and protection as she faces a troubling situation. Bala and Nirmala respond with outreach and support.

Teena accepts Bala and Nirmala's invitation to travel with them, joining their fragile circle. The trio continues the journey together, though the tension from Teena's confession lingers. The dynamic among them becomes more complex.

The group is attacked by goons on their route, and Teena is injured. In the chaos, Teena claims Bala assaulted her, a charge that stains his reputation. Nirmala's reaction further complicates the situation as fear and confusion spread.

Nirmala accuses Bala of the assault in defense of herself, hurting him and triggering legal trouble. Bala ends up imprisoned as the truth becomes tangled in anger and misperception. The incident marks a brutal break in their relationship.

After leaving prison, Bala encounters his friend Nandakumar (Nanda) on the bus and recounts everything that happened. Nanda listens, supports him, and begins to help him move forward. This reconnection rekindles a sense of alliance between them.

Nanda uses his influence to secure Bala a great new job, offering him stability and a path forward. Bala remains unaware that Nanda is about to marry Nirmala, adding an ironic twist to their renewed friendship. The job becomes a lifeline amid turmoil.

Bala and Nirmala finally cross paths again, and Bala questions why she made the false assault claim. Nirmala explains that Papachan pressured her into doing so. The pair confront the misunderstanding and begin to reckon with the consequences of others' manipulation.

When Nanda learns about Bala and Nirmala's relationship, he asks whether she still has feelings for him. She replies yes, and Nanda walks away to give the couple space to mend. The scene leaves Bala and Nirmala with a fragile, hopeful path forward.
