One day, Abhishek Bharadwaj (Ramesh Aravind), a poet and Hemanth's childhood friend, visits them. Abhishek is depressed as his girlfriend Shruti (Nivedita Jain) died due to cancer. Shruthi had made Abhishek promise that he will marry another girl after her death. Abhishek becomes obsessed with Veena as she has a strong resemblance with Shruthi. Hemanth comes to know about this but doesn't reveal this to Veena. Hemanth takes Abhi to a cliff and ask him to change his mind and go back home. Abhi tries to kill Hemanth and he slips and dies falling from the cliff. Abhi does not try to save him even though he could have. Hemanth's automatic camera captures of the whole episode. When Veena accidentally sees those pictures, she understands what really happened on that day. She pretends to have moved on and suggests that she is ready share her life with Abhishek. She asks him to take her to the cliff where Hemanth died as it was Hemanth's long cherished dream to take photos from the cliff.
