Njan Prakashan

Prakashan yearns to go abroad, especially Germany, and begins crafting a path to that dream. To sound more modern, he changes his name to P. R. Akash. He also grows openly skeptical about nursing, arguing it pays poorly and is thankless, which fuels his determination to leave the profession behind.

He hatches a plan to obtain a foreign visa by marrying a non-Indian citizen, rather than pursuing nursing abroad. He frames the scheme as a shortcut to wealth and a higher status, while continuing to express contempt for nursing as a career.

Salomi, his ex-girlfriend and a nurse herself, is on the verge of migrating to Germany for better wages. Prakashan rekindles the old romance and even learns German, envisioning Germany as his final destination.

He confides in Gopalji, his guardian and former pupil of his father, that the affection toward Salomi was a calculated lie to secure a visa. He explains the emigration plan as a means to cheat the system.

He discovers the visa will require a substantial amount of money, and they consider mortgaging their house. To raise funds, he sells his motorbike and convinces Gopalji to help steal a necklace from his wife, landing Gopalji in trouble with the police.

Salomi uses him for money and ultimately leaves for Germany, marrying a German citizen to stay there. Prakashan realizes the manipulation and halts the visa scheme.

Realizing the deception, Prakashan abandons his visa ambitions and returns to Kerala. He chooses to face reality rather than chase an abroad dream built on lies.

He takes manual labor with Gopalji to repay the necklace debt, and gradually shifts into home nursing as a profession. The work grounds him and marks a shift from deceit to responsibility.

He begins working as a home nurse for Tina Mol, the feisty daughter of a wealthy mother who loves junk food. Their initial clash—she orders her dog to attack him when he blocks her friend Shruthi from delivering a burger—gives way to a close, affectionate bond as he cares for her.

Prakashan also develops a romantic interest in Shruthi, Tina's friend, complicating his life and deepening his empathy. The relationships broaden his understanding of love, care, and responsibility.

Tina reveals she is terminally ill with a malignant brain cyst and begins bleeding from the ear. After the family doctor treats her, Prakashan recalls an American case where joy and laughter supposedly cured a terminal patient, and he tries to lift Tina's spirits by arranging visits and upbeat activities.

Despite his efforts, Tina dies during one of his stories, leaving Prakashan profoundly affected. He transforms into a grounded, compassionate nursing professional who treats nursing as a vocation to help people in need.
