Hearing this, Adithya gets angry and fires them from work. An angry Rajasekhar and Arjun decide to avenge Adithya. Arjun who is very dumb and childish, uses his own stupid tricks to avenge Adithya. Meanwhile Adithya goes into a shop to receive a gift where the shop is owned by Manimeghalai(a fake name created by Mythiri-the female protagonist-to conceal her identity from her brother which comes in the later part of the story), because of the quality of the material of the umbrella, even though the idea was great(It glows in various colors when rain falls on it).
