Allimuthu spends a lot of time with Timea and he avoids Ranjani each time she wanted to talk to him. Ranjani was deeply struck by Allimuthu's behaviours, and one day, Ranjani forces him to talk to her. Allimuthu reveals that he has never loved her, he then spits out blood and he faints. Timea tells Ranjani what really happened in Delhi.
In Delhi, Timea implored Allimuthu to teach her Karakattam and Allimuthu accepted it. In his hotel room, Allimuthu coughed up blood, Timea came in time to rescue him and transported him to the hospital. The doctor revealed to them that Allimuthu had blood cancer.
