Chapter - 1
Sanjay and Aishwarya start their honeymoon trip to Meghamalai from Cochin. On the way, they see an old man lying blood-flooded on the road. Sanjay stops the car and both get out. When Aishwarya calls for the ambulance, Sanjay checks whether the man is breathing and finds out he is dead. Sanjay gets the phone from Aishwarya, disconnects the call and gives it back, and says "He's dead. Let's go.". Aishwarya asks "Hey let's call the ambulance. They'll take the body.". Sanjay says "It's a hit-and-run. If we call the ambulance they'll come along with the police and ask us several questions. Let someone else do it. We'll move.". Aishwarya says "Ok fine. Let's stop in a temple on the way and pray for his soul's peaceful rest.". When Aishwarya gets into the car, Sanjay secretly takes a picture of the dead body on his mobile.
On their way, Sanjay stops at a temple and says "Aishu, you go and come." Aishwarya asks "You're not coming?.". Sanjay says "I'm an atheist so I never visit temples.". Aishwarya says "Hmm ok. I'll be back.". While Aishwarya is in the temple, Sanjay takes Rs 50,000 from the dashboard, gets out of the car, crosses the road, goes to the truck at the edge of the opposite road, gives it to the driver, and says "Good Job. Very happy to see that old stupid's corpse. This is the remaining 50,000.". The driver says "Thank you, Sir. Have a safe journey".
Sanjay gets back to his car. Aishwarya comes and asks "Why you stopped at the temple despite being an atheist?.". Sanjay says "I never interfere in other's beliefs. That's why.". Aishwarya says "I see. Let's go.". They continue and reach Meghamalai and stays in Cloud mountain resort. They spend their time enjoying paradise for few days.
One fine day Sanjay says "Aishu, stay in the resort. I'm having some work outside. I'll be back this afternoon.". Aishwarya laughs and asks "We are in Meghamalai and not in Cochin. You're leaving me in the resort and wandering outside on our honeymoon trip. What's going on here?". Sanjay says "I love driving. It's been a long time since I did solo driving. So kindly understand me and let me go now.". Aishwarya smiles and says "Oh my God. Ok fine. Drive as long as you want and come. It's fine even if you return tonight. Permission granted.". Sanjay laughs and says "Thanks Aishu. Then I'll return tomorrow morning. Bye". Aishwarya laughs and says "Hey!! I'll kill you, lovely idiot. By all means, you should be here tonight. Otherwise, I'll catch a bus or train and go back to Cochin.". Sanjay says "Just kidding!!! I'll be back tonight.". Aishwarya says "Ok. Let's shut our romance and you start now. Otherwise, the moon will come before you start.".
Sanjay starts from the resort and goes to an incomplete building. He takes Rs 75000 from the handrest, goes inside, and gives it to a person. The person gets it and says "The old fool is tied up on the terrace." and provides him with a cigarette lighter and a diesel can.
Sanjay goes to the terrace and says to the old man "Tell me the whereabouts of your son and daughter-in-law and you walk free.". The old man says "I don't know where they eloped for many years. I don't know as well whether they married.". Sanjay asks "Why they eloped?". The old man says "My son loved her without bothering about the caste difference. She became pregnant and I forced her to abort the baby. Out of anger, my son took her somewhere.".
Sanjay says "My father's name is Saravana Perumal. My mother's name is Parvathy.". The old man sweats and a ferocious Sanjay says "Better spit out the truth otherwise even I don't know what will happen here. Why I was thrown into the roadside dustbin?". The old man asks "How do you know their names?". Sanjay shows the pic of the dead body which he captured on the road which shocks the old man. Sanjay says "Your brother already spitted about everything except their whereabouts. When asked about that he didn't open his mouth. So I killed him. Now it's your turn. So I suggest let's cut to the chase.".
The old man says "I don't know who thrown you into the dustbin. Perumal indeed told me that Parvathy is pregnant and when I asked her to abort, both of them eloped. Seriously I don't know that you were born before I came to know about their love. Seriously your parents only know everything.".
Sanjay fills the diesel on him and says "I trust you but can't spare you. You were the lab rat for my father to check whether you want me alive or dead.", switches on the lighter and introduces on him for some time (Because diesel won't instantly catch fire) and says "This is for your caste spree" and when his entire body starts burning he says "This is for not accepting me as your grandson." and when he dies he says "This is for not bothering about my parents' whereabouts for this many years.".
Chapter - 2
After disposing of the body, Sanjay returns to the resort. Aishwarya asks "What mister? How was the drive?" Sanjay says "It's been alright but a bit desperate.". Aishwarya asks "Due to lack of my presence? Am I right?". Sanjay says "Yes". Aishwarya says "I know my dear. You have been a drunkard for a long time when I got separated from you. In that sense is it that easy for you to drive without me?" turns anger and says "Tell me where you went. You think I'm a fool?". Sanjay says "Aishwarya?". Aishwarya says "Just tell me where you went.".
Sanjay reveals the truth and says "The garbage smell is not in my body physically now but it's still in my heart. Until I find my biological parents, that smell won't vanish."
Aishwarya says "If I were the old Aishwarya, I would have abandoned you for the fact that you're someone who was adopted from a ditch. Now I can't. Because when I lost my family in the Tsunami, you made me realize that life and love are infinitely valuable than a luxury. I want to add perfume to your heart.". Sanjay says "I'm sorry Aishwarya. I now realize that you love me this much.".
Aishwarya says "I've lost my parents but I want to reunite you with your parents. Let's find them.". Sanjay says "Reuniting? On what grounds? My next target is my parents. They are the ones who threw me into the dustbin. That reason is still unknown. My grandfather wanted to abort me due to caste differences. But why my parents wanted to throw me into the dustbin? We need to find them, get the truth and burn them along with the garbages". Aishwarya says "Sanjay, stop it! No parents will go to this extent. There is something fishy over this. Let's find it.". Sanjay says "If my assumption is correct?". Aishwarya says "Let's burn them. Happy?". Sanjay says "Extremely. Let's start the hunt from the dirt tomorrow".
Sanjay and Aishwarya go to the lodges meant for nightlives and ask them whether a girl named Parvathy was there 27 years back. Eventually, in one such lodge, the owner reveals that there was a girl named Parvathy who regularly slept with a man who resembled the face of Sanjay. When asked about that man's name, he says that his name was Kaalibhadra, who is currently an estate owner in Meghamalai. Sanjay says to Aishwarya "Today is the second Saturday. We will get him on Monday in the estate.".
Back in the resort, Sanjay says to Aishwarya "So when my mother found out that I biologically belong to this creature Kaalibhadra, to hide me from Saravana Perumal she thrown me into the dustbin. So if we capture this Kaalibhadra and introduce death next to him he will emit the venom called the truth about their whereabouts.".
Aishwarya says "Sanjay, what I feel is let's leave this free. We'll give birth to a baby and be an example for them.". Sanjay says "My pain cannot be explained in words Aishu. Please understand. When I come across any achievements in our plantation business, people curiously ask who my parents are and my background. I'm merciless to say that I'm adopted from a dustbin. Either they'll feel pity for me or they'll see me awkwardly for having zero knowledge about my biological parents. In both cases end of the day, a conventional conversation and perceptions will be missing. We are living in a society wherein people who came from a good family and were born to clean parents will interact with each other without any special changes. So every time I long for a conventional surrounding. I seriously regret being a serial killer but I'm helpless". Aishwarya with an uninterest says "Ok".
Chapter - 3
The next day, Sanjay and Aishwarya visit a circus. While exploring, Sanjay encounters a person. The person asks "Hi brother how are you?". Sanjay asks "Who are you?". The person says "Vikram, Yami's husband". Sanjay remembers and says "Oh...Vikram, I'm Sanjay and not Dr. Raja. He's my look-alike.". Vikram says "Oh right. You are Mr. Gautam's twin brother right?.". Sanjay says "Yes. How are you Vikram". Vikram says "Fine. Where are you working brother?". Sanjay says "I'm having a Plantation business in Cochin. What do you do?". Vikram says "After Yami's death, I came here and working as an estate manager in Mr. Kaalibhadra's estate.". Sanjay gets shocked. Vikram asks "Are you, alright brother?" Sanjay relaxes back says 'Uh...Yeah... I'm Ok.". Vikram says "Ok brother. Both of you please come to my home for lunch.". Sanjay says "Ok".
While dining in Vikram's house, Vikram asks "Are your parents living in Kochi or somewhere else brother?". Sanjay looks at Aishwarya for a second and says to Vikram "I'm basically an adopted son. My Step-Parents died in an accident and I don't know where my biological parents are.
Vikram says "Rubbish life no Sir? Having born to such nasty parents?". Before Sanjay replies, Aishwarya interrupts says "Not at all.". Vikram says "No sister. Had his parents nurtured him as their son, life would have been very different right?.". Aishwarya says "He's grateful to his Step-Parents. So nothing is rubbish.". Vikram says "One may have a good name as a businessman, but when he doesn't have a proper background nothing is worth it.". Aishwarya angrily says "Sanjay let's go." and gets up.
When Vikram gets up fastly and says "Wait Sister, why are you leaving half completing the lunch?", his hand hits his pocket and his Aadhar card falls. Sanjay looks at it and finds that Vikram's initial is SP. His father's name is not visible as it is half-torn.
Sanjay says "Aishu, wait. Vikram, Are your parents living in Meghamalai or somewhere else?". Vikram says "Yes they are here only. They have gone outside to search for my Grandfather. Since he is aged he has lost his mind and went somewhere.". Sanjay says "Correct me if I'm wrong. Your father's name is Saravana Perumal, your mother's name is Parvathy and your grandfather's name is Govind.". Vikram says "How do you know this brother?".
Sanjay gets up and says "Wait till they arrive for more surprises. Now throw out these foods. I'm used to only eating my prey and not in washing my hands in its house". Vikram gets confused.
Sanjay and Aishwarya sit on the sofa. Saravana Perumal and Parvathy arrive home. Parvathy says "We don't know where your Grandfather went Vik..." looks at Sanjay and gets shocked. Vikram says "Mummy, meet Mr. Sanjay and his wife Aishwarya from Cochin.". Sanjay says "Not Sanjay. Sanjay Kaalibhadra". Vikram and Saravana Perumal get a lifetime shock. Sanjay asks "How are you, Mummy? And how's my Dad?".
Aishwarya asks "Now tell me, Mr. Vikram. Having born to a slut and having lost your wife, is your life rubbish or different? When Dr. Raja got to know about your drug scam. he should have canceled your marriage and organized your funeral. He took pity on you and you are damaging others right?". Saravana Perumal and Vikram sweat with anxiety. When Aishwarya attempts to reveal the remaining truth, Sanjay holds her hand and says "Aishu, let's go. And Mummy, let's meet in your husband's estate tomorrow. Bye-bye. See you." and leaves the house.
At the resort, Sanjay says "It's ridiculous that his grandfather has lied to me that his son eloped somewhere even when death is next to him.". Aishwarya says "That means you have killed him for no reason. I'm saying we should leave this for free. By the way, you don't have to feel desperate for your parents' mistake. Life and happiness are not proportional to your past and background. Once again I'm saying I learned this from you only. You are the one who said the disasters won't distinguish and filter anyone. It'll just destroy everyone. I was particular about my luxury at that time and you are particular about your prestige right now. So do you think you'll get away from me?. I won't let you kill your parents. Tomorrow we're going to the estate and reuniting with your parents. Got it?". Sanjay thinks for some time and says "Ok Aishu.". Aishwarya hugs him, says "That's my hubby." and kisses him.
Chapter - 4
The next day, Sanjay and Aishwarya go to the estate and learns from a staff that Kaalibhadra has gone to a Temple. Both go to the very crowded Temple, splits, and search.
Suddenly some persons start attacking other persons in the crowd triggering a riot. Sanjay manages to fight back whoever tries to attack him and searches for Aishwarya and the same is done by her also. Eventually, they find each other and manages to get out of the temple. By the time, Saravana Perumal attacks Sanjay with a knife in his abdomen. Sanjay gets clarity that this riot is out of caste spree triggered by Saravana Perumal after recovering his father Govind's body. When Saravana Perumal attempts to attack again with the knife, Sanjay holds his hand and kicks him and the knife falls. Then he takes the knife, cuts Saravana Perumal's manhood (as he now thinks in reverse that Saravana Perumal is the third person while Parvathy had affair with Kaalibhadra initially and he is the one who forced Parvathy to throw him into the dustbin), and stabs his face to death.
Vikram makes his caste men set fire in the entire Meghamalai including the temple. Sanjay and Aishwarya run outside the temple, start the car, and drives towards the outside of Meghamalai.
During this risky drive crossing the burning mountain range and the riot, Sanjay and Aishwarya feel contented that they are leaving Meghamalai without being a victim in the riot which is actually outbroken because of Sanjay. Aishwarya's mind voice asks "Sanjay, can we be able to cross the range safely?". Sanjay's mind voice replies "Life is only once. Let's dare to accept it.". Aishwarya's mind voice says "I promise you. When you are near me, I feel the heat of the fire as a chilling breeze. We are going to cross this together and that is the greatest achievement I could say.".
Clouds assemble and hide the sunlight. Everything becomes dark and gray. Sanjay sees some droplets of water in the front window. The number of droplets keeps multiplying. The speed of the multiplication increases. As it keeps on increasing the window is completely closed with water and loses visibility. Sanjay stops the car and gets out with Aishwarya. The visibility now also is very low due to the cats-and-dogs rain.
As the rain extinguishes the fire, the smoke vanishes, and the mountains trees, etc are seen. As the firesticks are lit off, the caste spree also gets erased. The riot sound reduces completely and only the rain sounds are heard. Sanjay overcomes the guilt of indirectly triggering the riot.
A few hours later, the rain stops. Sanjay and Aishwarya return to the resort.
Chapter - 5
The next day Aishwarya says "I saw your Mom and Dad in the temple yesterday. Through them I came to know that Saravana Perumal is the third person who interfered inside while both of them had affairs, thrown you into the dustbin, and married your Mom. But after the marriage both confidentially had affair and they met in the temple yesterday". Sanjay says "I know this.". Aishwarya asks "What?" Once you pacified and stopped me from killing them I started assuming in this reverse manner. Now you confirmed it.". When Sanjay switches on the TV news, it is said that the rain occurred because of Kaalibhadra's estate. Due to the high density of plants and trees, the rain is induced and it's an incredible achievement by Kaalibhadra. Sanjay and Aishwarya meet Kaalibhadra and Parvathy and finally reunites with them.
Later Vikram's drug scam is exposed and is arrested for that and for triggering the riot as well.
With a contented and peaceful mind, Sanjay and Aishwarya leave back to Cochin. Thereafter they frequently met Kaalibhadra and Parvathy in Meghamalai eventually leading a happy life.
