Vetri had been looking for Malar since he woke up. He had asked everyone but no one had any idea as to where Malar was. Initially, Vetri thought that Malar would have been helping out in Aishwarya's room. However, a while later, Aishwarya had come out of her room and when Vetri asked her, she was also not sure of where Malar was. Not knowing where to find her, Vetri leaves the house aimlessly.

Kanmoodi thirakkumbothu (Just after the blink of eye)

Kadavul edhirae vandhadhu pola (Like God who appeared before me)

Adada en kan munnadi (Just before my eyes)

Avalae vandhu ninraale (She came and stood by)

Kudai illa neram parthu (Just when the umbrella is not available)

Kotti pogum mazhaiyai pola (Like the rain that drenched)

Azhagalae ennai ninathu (She drenched me in beauty)

Ithu thaan kaadhal endrale (And said this is love)

Just then, Vetri hears a loud noise. He turns and heads in that direction. Malar's best friend, Aishwarya, lived in a house that was situated right next to the beach. When Vetri reaches the beach, for a moment, he forgets to breathe. In the distance, he sees Malar. She was surrounded by children.

Therumunaiyai thaandum varaiyil (Till I crossed the street end)

Verum naal thaan endrirunthaen (I thought it was just another day)

Devathaiyai paarthadum intru (As soon as I saw my angel)

Thirunaal engindrean (I say today is a special celebration day)

Azhagana vibathil indru (A beautiful accident)

Haiyo naan maatikondaen (is what i have gotten myself into)

Thappika vazhigal irundum (Though there are ways to escape)

Vendam endraen (I refused)

Vetri smiles. Malar was looking so beautiful and even though he had been seeing her at home every single day, she looked so different. The happiness she was experiencing while playing with children gave her face a beautiful glow. Not wanting to disturb her, Vetri moves closer quietly. Malar had been playing catching with the children so her eyes were blindfolded.

Un perum theiryathe (I do not know your name)

Un oorum theriyathe (I do not know your place)

Azhagana paravaiku per venduma (Does a beautiful bird require a name)

Nee ennai parkaamal (Without you seeing me)

Naan unnai parkindrean (I see you)

Nadiyil vizhum binbathai (The reflection that falls on the river)

Nila ariyuma (Does the moon know)

Uyirukkul innor uyirai (A life inside my life)

Sumakinrean kaadhal idhuva (I carry it, is this love?)

Ithayathil malaiyin yedayai (The weight of a mountain on my heart)

Unarkindrean kaadhal iduva (I feel it, is this love?)

Malar keeps searching and yet she could not catch any child. Just then, she trips over a small rock. Vetri runs forward and catches her. The moment Vetri holds her, Malar knew it was Vetri. No one else could make her feel secure yet make her heart skip a beat. Vetri steadies her and Malar removes her blindfold. She looks at him and realises that he had come all the way finding for her.

Kanmoodi thirakkumbothu (Just after the blink of eye)

Kadavul edhirae vandhadhu pola (Like God who appeared before me)

Adada en kan munnadi (Just before my eyes)

Avalae vandhu ninraale (She came and stood by)

Kudai illa neram parthu (Just when the umbrella is not available)

Kotti pogum mazhaiyai pola (Like the rain that drenched)

Azhagalae ennai ninathu (She drenched me in beauty)

Ithu thaan kaadhal endrale (And said this is love)

Malar: How did you know I was here?

Vetri: I just happened to leave the house and heard some noise in this direction. I felt that i should go in the direction of the sound and found you.

Child: Akka, come let's play.

Malar looks at the child and nods. She turns to Vetri but even before she could say anything, Vetri speaks.

Vetri: I want to play too.

Malar smiles and gets him to join as well. This time, another child was chosen to be the catcher.

Veethi ula nee vandhal (If you walk in the streets)

Theruvilakkum kan adikum (The street lights will wink at you)

Veedu sella sooriyanum (The sun who is supposed to go home)

Adam pidikumae (Will throw a tantrum and refuse to do so)

Nathiyodu nee kulithal (If you bathe in the river)

Meenukkum kaichal varum (Even the fish will get fever)

Unnai thotthu parka thaan (Just to caress you)

Mazhai kuthikumae (The rain will pour)

Boogambam vanthaal kuda (Even if an earthquake comes)

Patharatha nenjam enathu (My heart will be steady)

Poo ondru mothiyathalae (But with the bump of a flower)

Pattendru sarindadhu indru (My heart has fallen)

While the child searches, Vetri admires Malar. She looked beautiful and it was then that Vetri realised that she was wearing the Salwar suit that he had picked for her. He smiles to himself. Meanwhile, Malar notices Vetri looking at her. She feels shy and her heart starts beating faster. Vetri moves closer to Malar and with every step, her heart beats faster. She stops moving and looks at Vetri. He approaches her.

Kanmoodi thirakkumbothu (Just after the blink of eye)

Kadavul edhirae vandhadhu pola (Like God who appeared before me)

Adada en kan munnadi (Just before my eyes)

Avalae vandhu ninraale (She came and stood by)

Kudai illa neram parthu (Just when the umbrella is not available)

Kotti pogum mazhaiyai pola (Like the rain that drenched)

Azhagalae ennai ninathu (She drenched me in beauty)

Ithu thaan kaadhal endrale (And said this is love)

Vetri stops right in front of her and before Malar could react, he uses his hand to sweep Malar's fringe and tuck it behind her ear. The two of them look at each other and start smiling. Meanwhile, the child who was the catcher catches another player and the game comes to an end. Malar and Vetri remain unaware and are lost in their own world.
