The meeting starts off well. But Sarojini, true to form, rejects the alliance and the grooms party abruptly leaves. Ammaiyappan visits them to apologize for the incident. The grooms father turns out to be an understanding and forward thinking man. Looking past Sarojinis immaturity and recognizing Ammaiyappan to be a good and honest man, he offers his daughter Vasantha as a prospective partner for Siva. He declares, as a veiled insult, that his obedient daughter Vasantha will accept his decision. Not outdone, Ammaiyappan quickly accepts with the claim that his son is similarly respectful of his wishes.When Ammaiyappan returns home, Sarojini informs him that she has found her own partner in Peter Fernandes, a Catholic colleague from her work place an unthinkable notion for Ammaiyappan and Godavari.
