Six months later, at a railway station, she saves a man named Prakash Roy (Mammootty), a businessman who wants to commit suicide by being hit by a train. He gets slept with her hip. But she knew that he had been drinking alcohol and she left him at the train station.
His butler, Raymond, calls her, telling her that it was she who left Prakash Roy at the train station and that the CCTV footage had captured this and she comes to the 5th floor of the office. When she came and saw Prakash Roy, she knew that he was a Malayali. In jealousy, she took a plate and broke it, mistaking Prakash Roy for a womanizer. Later at night, she sees a wallet, which she places on a dustbin when she comes to his home.
He calls her asking for the wallet and tells her that he would like to get his wallet back and to meet up at the Cemetery. When she meets him, she gives the wallet back. Roy wants to have a true friendship with her, however she refuses. Prakash Roy then barges into her office one day and intimidates her to meet later, meanwhile planning a surprise birthday party.
