There are two love stories. When Kaveri was a child her father visited his friend in Trichy with her. The friend had a son, Ekambaram, a young boy. Kaveri and Ekambaram got together and spend time playing. Ekambaram's mother did not like it. But Ekambaram's father married Ekambaram and Kaveri while they are still children as per the custom of those times. Soon after, Ekambaram went abroad for further studies. When he returned after studies, his mother said Kaveri has died. So he married another girl. But she dies for some reason. Ekambaram comes to know that Kaveri did not really die.
