One day, while working as a laborer, Kumar meets an eccentric old man named Ayyappan (played by a seasoned actor like Jagadish or Suresh Vinu). Ayyappan is a retired schoolteacher who has been living a solitary life since his wife's passing. Impressed by Kumar's hard work and integrity, Ayyappan decides to gift him his old, dilapidated house on the outskirts of the village.
