Raja eventually falls ill due to liver jaundice and does not attend college. Their silent love continues within themselves. Upset, Raja declares he will never speak to her about his love again he confidently states that she will come to express her love for him one day. Though she actually likes him, due to her family situation and mother's instructions to avoid men, she shows no feelings for him. One day, when Raja expresses his love to Subhadra, she becomes angry and rejects his proposal.

Lavanya also notices the same affinity in Subhadra towards Raja. Raja's classmate Moorthy notices Raja's interest in Subhadra. Raja and Subhadra develop fondness and miss each other if they do not see even for a day, though they never speak to each other about the good feeling they have for each other. When she gets upset, Raja tries to protect her from Madhu's group many times. Subhadra's male classmates Madhu, Kannan and Thambu tease her in class by narrating the rumours about her mother and gossip about her love for Raja. However, Subhadra concentrates only on studies without getting distracted by other issues as advised by her mother, and maintains a safe distance from other college boys.

As a result, people in their locality look down on Subhadra's mother, who supports her children by stitching clothes and is the subject of most gossip sessions. Subhadra's father had deserted her mother and two daughters, suspecting that she had loved someone before marriage. Subhadra, his sincere and quiet classmate, never speaks openly even with her closest friend Lavanya. Raja is a college student who is popular among the other students.
