In a hilarious turn of events, Ramankutty and Gauri realize their love for each other which rejoices their families and they start arrangements for their wedding. But on the day of their engagement, Radhika dies in a kitchen fire accident.

	After a long time, the family fixes Ramankutty and Gauri's marriage. On the previous day of marriage Gauri gets an electric shock. ~~When~~ Thampi visits the astrologer Meppattu Thirumeni ([[Thilakan]]) to see the horoscope match, he tells them that women married into the Thekkedathu family are fated to die young.

Ramankutty's ~~older~~ brother's wife died one month after their marriage, due to a snake bite. And now Thampi's daughter died as she was also married into Thekkedathu house.

Deeply disturbed by this, Thampi visits the astrologer Meppattu Thirumeni ([[Thilakan]]) to see the horoscope match, where he tells them that women married into the Thekkedathu family are fated to die young. He referred to the family's history. Ramankutty's grandmother died from her first pregnancy. Ramankutty's mother died shortly after giving birth to him. Ramankutty's eldest brother Achuthankutty's wife died just one month after their marriage, due to a snake bite. And now Thampi's daughter died as she was also married into Thekkedathu house. Thampi, scared for his only remaining daughter's life, requests Ramankutty to back out of the marriage without the knowledge of Gauri.

	Saddened and yet wanting to do the right thing, Ramankutty calls off the wedding on the pretense of not being comfortable with Gauri's close relations with her cousin Unni ([[Kunchako Boban]]). Devastated by this allegation, Gauri backs out of the marriage, only to find the truth later. She runs out in search of Ramankutty and is involved in a road accident on the way. She is rushed to the hospital and while still battling for life, she wishes that Ramankutty tie the wedding knot before her operation. Ramankutty ties the knot, fearing the worst. Miraculously, Gauri comes out alive.
