Unable to forget her, Ravi lives a lonely and monotonous life. Radha enters hs workplace and pleads with him to forget her and start his life anew. Ravi says that it is impossible unless Radha spends one whole day with him like as if they were married! "Don't mistake me," he pleads, "I will not even touch you." He explains that he had built a lot of dreams on living together and this "one day" business will satisfy his "hunger.”

Now Radha is overcome with emotions and is unable to forget Ravi!!! She now requests that there is only one solution.........!

Radha requests Ravi to come over to her house and pick her up that very night. Together they will run away and live together Ravi turns up Radha writes a long letter for her husband and then leaves the house. What happens then forms the story.
