He is about to complete his training in 3 months and leave to the border. He falls in love with Indu (Simran), the daughter of a senior army officer, who is visiting Wellington Camp. Indu's parents accept her choice of husband, and the family leaves to Kashmir. Soon after, Indu's father dies in a bomb blast while her mother loses her life on seeing her husband's body. Not wishing to lose her husband too in war, Indu asks Surya to choose between her and the army. Surya then asks the brigadier to advise him, and the brigadier tells the story of his parents. His father, Bomb Sekhar (R. Parthipen) was a very violent terrorist, who was sentenced to 3 years of prison and death. His mother was a nun, who visited prisoners and chanted Bible verses to them. Slowly, Surya's father's nature begins to change, and to near his death; he is completely reformed. Sensing that there is no way for him to repent for his mistakes by serving the nation, he confides to the nun that if he had a child, he would have made him act the country. That night the nun thinks about her conversation with Sehkar and subsequently resigns her position with the church. The following day the nun convinces Sekhar that she will bear his child as a way to fulfil his dying wish and they consummate inside the prison secretly. She leaves him, and the next day he is hanged. Once Surya is born, she hands him to authorities at the military camp and commits suicide as well.
