In the quiet village of Kallikudi, where tamarind trees whisper old tales and temple bells mark time, two distant relatives meet every summer at family functions-Adithya and Keerthana. Adithya, the son of a humble mechanic and a devoted housewife, carries dreams in his eyes despite the weight of financial struggle. His elder sister, Vaishnavi, a fierce achiever, has already carved her path as a pilot and settled abroad.
Keerthana, on the other hand, is the daughter of a soft-spoken private company employee and a loving homemaker. Her world is disciplined and filled with books, pressure, and her bubbly younger sister Meenakshi, now a cardio-surgeon. The girls are raised with values and ambition stitched into every fold of their lives.
As children, Adithya and Keerthana rarely spoke. But Keerthana always remembered how he quietly passed her a mango candy during a long wedding ceremony, or the way he used to stand protectively when strangers stared too long. Unsaid feelings nestled deep inside her heart her first innocent crush.
Adithya cracks the UPSC and becomes an IAS officer. Keerthana becomes a dentist, running a small practice in Chennai. Their paths cross again at a cousin's wedding-and this time, fate refuses to let them pass by as strangers.
But will love alone be enough to convince their families? Will Adithya's high position create a gap of pride? Will Keerthana's quiet strength shine through when it matters most?
