Whilst they were staying in a bungalow in Ooty, Poorani meets Kannaa ([[Raja]]), a florist by profession. Kannaa is introduced as Eric to the tourist group and agrees to be the group's tour guide on the request of the bungalow's caretaker. Since meeting, both Poorani and Kannaa are at loggerheads. Though Kannaa enjoys teasing her in a friendly manner knowing Poorani's wariness, Poorani seems to think that he has bad intentions. Eventually, her animosity towards him vanishes and she begins to develop an interest in him.

When Annapoorani returns to Coimbatore, she is unable to forget Kannaa and longs to be with him. One day when her friend tells her of how she is planning to meet her boyfriend in person, Poorani becomes influenced and decided to meet Kannaa in person with a gift in hand. She borrows a [[Scooter (motorcycle)|Scooter]] and leaves to Ooty. On the way, the bike breaks down, so she continues her journey on foot.
