Varun finds his friend and beats him up. He reveals that he also loves Preethi, but is afraid to tell her. Preethi falls for Varun who decides to break up although he loves her. His friend decides to elope with her. Varun feels betrayed and tries to kill him. Preethi reveals that she is married to him and says that Varun never loved her, because he doesn't provide for her. Preethi compares Varun's love with his friend's and decides to leave Varun and elope. This breaks Varun's heart, but he lets them go.
