His father, Public Prosecutor Kraunakarana Nair, compromises with Jayanthi by giving her 10,000 rupees and Murali discontinues his studies.
When back in his hometown, he meets a school teacher named Indu and tries to persuade her to be with him, but she resists.
This story is captured in an iconic Malayalam song from the movie that reflects Murali's feelings.
The lyrics show his regret and desire for forgiveness from his partner, comparing her to a lotus and vowing not to tarnish her purity with his actions.
I won't touch your pious body with my hands which wrote stories of sin .
