Darshan is enjoying his college life without knowing anything about his health . He is very popular among girls because of his good looks. Despite having many admirers among the girls at college, he only has eyes for Deepthi, a cool girl from a poor background who worked hard to secure a place in the college with the hope of making wealthy friends. Darshan fell in love with Deepthi at first sight, and when he confessed his feelings, she accepted his love, understanding that he comes from a wealthy family.

On the other hand, Deepthi's reasons for accepting Darshan's love are driven by her desire to improve her social status and possibly her financial situation. She is aware of Darshan's family background and sees an opportunity to be a part of a rich family.

While Darshan's parents, Venu and Geetha, are happy that their son has found love, but they are deeply concerned about his health.  His parents are counting the days with a heavy heart, hoping for a cure or a heart transplant to save their son's life. They put on a smile in front of Darshan, concealing their worries to keep him happy.

As it is Sunday, Darshan decides to take Deepthi to visit his parents. Upon arriving at Darshan's home, Deepthi is captivated by the beauty and charm of the place, and she starts to daydream about living there after their marriage. The allure of a luxurious and comfortable life seems to excite her.

As they enter the house, Deepthi warmly greets Darshan's parents, Gopal and Geetha. Pleasantries are exchanged, and the atmosphere appears cordial and welcoming. However, when Darshan goes to the kitchen to get some water, Geetha, his mother, takes the opportunity to talk to Deepthi privately.

Feeling a deep sense of concern for her son's well-being, Geetha opens up to Deepthi and pleads with her not to leave Darshan as she know the depth of his son's illness.it's clear that Geetha is worried about him and wants him to be taken care of.

Deepthi, not fully understanding the gravity of the situation, assures Geetha that she will never leave Darshan's side. After talking with darshan mother Deepthi thinks to herself about not wanting to miss the chance of being with a rich person and living a wealthy life.

As it is lunch time Darshan's parents suggest that he should take Deepthi to  their family restaurant for lunch. Darshan happily agrees, and Deepthi expresses her excitement about trying the food at their restaurant.

As Darshan takes his love, Deepthi, for a lunch date at his hotel, Deepthi is evidently amazed by the interior of the hotel and  she  was day dreaming about her future with Darshan, possibly with a sense of greed or expectation for a life of luxury once they are married.

Inside the private cabin, Darshan warmly asks Deepthi what she would like to eat. Deepthi glances at the menu and, without any knowledge of the dish, orders the most expensive food available.  Deepthi's choice may be driven more by a desire to enjoy the extravagance rather than her actual preference for the dish. Meanwhile, Darshan appears to be oblivious to any ulterior motives Deepthi might have, as he continues to smile contentedly.

Meanwhile, in another private cabin nearby,  Pooja and Tarun, who are also on a lunch date. Unlike the previous couple, the atmosphere around Pooja and Tarun seems to be more relaxed and filled with genuine laughter.

Pooja is seen talking animatedly about her recent adventures and travels with her family to him, and Tarun listens attentively, occasionally chiming in with amusing anecdotes of his own. They both seem comfortable and at ease in each other's company, enjoying each other's conversation as much as the delicious food on their plates.

Pooja and Tarun have a shared interest in trying new and exotic dishes, and they enthusiastically discuss their food choices, appreciating the flavors and textures of each dish they order.

Unlike Deepthi and Darshan, Pooja and Tarun's lunch date appears to be marked by a sincere connection and mutual understanding. They seem to be genuinely interested in each other's thoughts and feelings.

As Pooja returned from the washroom, she was surprised and a bit concerned to find Tarun nowhere in sight. Wondering where he had gone, she began searching for him in the restaurant, hoping he hadn't faced any trouble.

Just then, as fate would have it, Pooja accidentally bumped into someone while looking around, almost losing her balance. But, the person she bumped into quickly caught her, preventing her from falling. A kind smile crossed the stranger's face as he asked if she was okay, showing genuine concern.

As Pooja stood there frozen because touch with the stranger, she couldn't help but notice that she was feeling some different emotions. Confused and introspective, she questioned herself about the reason behind these unexpected feelings.

Her mind raced with various possibilities.  perhaps it was his kind and concerned demeanor that resonated with her on a deeper level. Pooja tried to rationalize her reaction, wondering if it was simply a result of the surprising encounter or if there was something more to it.

She found herself intrigued by the stranger, Darshan, and the connection they had in that brief moment. As someone who valued genuine connections and emotions, she couldn't dismiss the unexplainable attraction she felt.

Before Pooja could respond, Tarun came back from the men's washroom, seemingly unaware of the little incident. Relieved to see him, Pooja asked him where he had disappeared to. Tarun casually explained that he had gone to the washroom, as if nothing was out of the ordinary.

Curious about the person who had saved her from stumbling, Pooja turned to thank him and apologize for the collision. To her surprise, Tarun, being the friendly and curious person he was, asked for the stranger's name.The person with the kind smile introduced himself as Darshan.

Tarun, being the amiable and outgoing person he was, struck up a brief conversation with Darshan, expressing his gratitude once more. Darshan appeared to be a warm and friendly individual, which made Pooja feel at ease around him.

As the conversation concluded, the three of them shared a brief moment of laughter, and Pooja was grateful for Darshan's considerate nature and Tarun's friendly demeanor.

Little did Pooja know that this chance encounter with Darshan would set in motion a series of events that would intertwine their lives in unexpected ways.
