Tanu's Story- Siddharth, standing at the precipice of a suicide point is looking at the ground below when Tanu, a stranger to Siddharth at that point pulls him back thinking that he was going to commit suicide and gives him a good scolding without even allowing him to talk. Siddharth then goes away and sits beside a lake where again Tanu sees him and again thinks that he is going to commit suicide by jumping into the water and again gives him a good scolding and goes away. He then goes to a roadside tea stall and gets a glass of coffee and puts a sugar-free cube into the glass. Tanu sees him from a distance and thinks that he is putting poison into his glass and rushes to him and knocks off the glass from his hand before he takes his first sip. Siddharth, fed up of her misunderstanding him, scolds her telling that he was just trying to see the depth of the fall at the suicide point, and since it was hot, he was trying to splash some water to his face at the lake and that he was putting sugar-free cubes into his glass and clears the air and tells her that he was not going to commit suicide and walks away.
At the railway station, Siddharth waiting for his train, sees Tanu running into the station trying to catch her train which is leaving the station. She misses the train and sits on the bench next to the one Siddharth is sitting. She asks the station master for directions to the toilet. She has to cross the platform to the other side to reach the toilet so she takes the skywalk. When she goes up the skywalk, Siddharth sees the beggar who was sitting nearby, gone. He goes up the skywalk to see the beggar trying to steal the gold bangle from Tanu's arm. He shouts at the beggar and Tanu finds the distraction enough and kicks the beggar on the groin and runs towards Siddharth. They both go and sit on one bench. They introduce themselves to each other. Siddharth tells Tanu to give the bangle to him for safekeeping to which she agrees. He tucks the bangle into his backpack.
Suddenly, Tanu sees the beggar coming towards them with four other people. She warns Siddharth. They both run away. They hide in a dark shed where there are oxen. One guy enters the shed and gets kicked by an ox. The others think that Siddharth hit their partner and get scared and run away.
The next morning Tanu leaves in another train. After she leaves, Siddharth realizes that she had forgotten her bangle. He gets her address from a telephone booth where she had earlier called her home from. He sets out to her hometown to return the bangle. He meets her and gives the bangle to her. She insists that he stay with her family for a few days. He agrees and she introduces him to her family members.
Tanu falls in love with Siddaharth and even he starts liking her. On the day when he was supposed to leave, Tanu proposes to him but, to her disbelief, he rejects her proposal. He then leaves for Bangalore.
