	Michael and his family stay at the house of Annie ~~([[Divya Unni]])~~ and her grandmother ~~([[Sukumari]])~~, while they work on the farm.

	The movie ends with Chandy coming back to bury his deceased brother Michael and has to face the wrath of his nephew and the villagers. He explains that he left that day earlier because the leader of his political party, Korah Sir has died. Later Michael comes to see Chandy and says under the influence of Alcohol he gambled away his money and accidentally caused the death of his wife. Michael tells about the rumor that's been passing around the village and Chandy comforts Michael not to worry - Let the rumor stay as it is. He gives the replies to the letters that he received from Michael to Michael's son which in turn proves Chandy's innocence. The scandal is resolved and Chandy finds his home again in Maravathoor.
