And the pet owner gets the video of Chithra in which she takes the parrot. As for the circumstances they allow him to stay in their home for the sake of elections. One day Vijayan is offered a job but he refuses it and cites that he is not feeling well. The next day, Velu tries to wake up the pet owner after his phone beeps but he doesn't get up.
