April 15 (Tues):
Kasthuri reads the letter and.............ore Santhosam! Yes people, she got the animation project! (YOU GO GIRL! THAT'S THE WAY AHA AHA I LIKE IT AHA AHA...!)She tells Bharath and Ganesh the good news and thanks them for their encouragement. She shakes hands twice with Bharath and he is all smiles. Kasthuri then wants to inform Masil the good news and Ganesh wants to call him but Kasthuri stops him saying she wants to tell him in person because she wants to see his reaction and goes out leaving a beaming Bharath.
Annamalai and family are ready to leave for the temple. Manager walks in and tells them that they had lost the animation contract. Annamalai is shocked and asks who got it. Manager informs them the contract wan won by KCT company. Rekha and Ram are shocked. Managers pours more oil into fuel by saying that KCT is blocking their every move and now that they have lost the contract, people are looking down on them. Rekha tells her dad that it is all because her father did not listen to her. Annamalai tells her that it was his mistake not listening to her and that now nothing can be done and tells everyone to go back inside. Radha asks what about the temple pilgrimage. Annamalai tells her that time and all the Gods are on Kasthuri's side and no need for them to go and pray because it will not help.
Masil is so happy about their success that he gives everyone a gift. Kasthuri gets a gold watch, Jothi a gold necklace, Bharath a gold chain and Ganeh gets a cover (content not disclosed). Masil looks at Jothi who looks sad and asks her why she is sad when everyone is happy with Kasthuri's success. Masil tells her for Ram's sins, he should suffer more. Kasthuri tells Masil not to talk about others when they have better things to talk about. Masil tells them about what would be happining in Annamalai's house now. He says that Annamalai would have chased Ram out and he would be on the streets by now. Jothi gets mad and throws the gift ont he table and leaves. Kasthuri goes after her. Masil says that Jothi had forgotten evrything Ram had done but he will not and curses Ram more.
Rekha and Niwas in his room. Rekha tells him about how she had told her dad not to send Ram's project. And now they have lost to KCT and that it is an insult to them. Ram eavesdrops their conversation. Rekha tells Niwas that it is better if Ram don't come to their office. Niwas tells Rekha they should tell Ram. Rekha says her father will not talk to Ram and she cannot because they would say she is jealous. Rekha finlly tells Niwas that if Ram stays in the company, no one can save her dad. Ram returns to his room and recalls Rekha's conversation with Niwas. Ram's conscience comes to him and laughs saying it is time for Ram to decide if he wants to stay or leave. He tells Ram that there will be no respect for Ram in his in-law's house and for him to really think about it.
Annamalai is sitting in his room thinking and Radha tells him to stop worrying. Annamalai tells his wife that she too is to be blamed for his loss because she is the one who had convinced him to take Ram into the company. He then tells Radha that some 30 years ago, Masil was a servant in his house and a few years ago, Kasthuri was a servant in their home and now they have both come up and have defeated him and Masil has won his challenge. Annamalai gets ready to go to work and tells Radha that he has decided to ask Rekha to go to the office with him and take care of their business. Radha asks what would Ram think because he left his job because Annamalai had asked him to. Annamalai tells her that he does not care what Ram thinks and he has decided to ask Niwas to take Ram as his partner instead of Rekha and asks Radha to call him.
Radha asks Shenbagam to call Niwas. Niwas in his rool listening to Baleleka song and dancing on the bed and Shenbagam tells him Annamalai wants to see him. Niwas goes to Annamalai and asks him why he was called. Annamalai tells him that he had made a mistake taking Ram into his office. He is upset that Rekha is not talking to him and that he does not know if she is angry with him or feels sorry for him. Annamalai tells Niwas that from today Rekha is no longer his business partner because he wants Rekha to follow him to his office and take care of their business. He tells Niwas that Ram will be his partner instead of Rekha. Niwas is dumbfounded and goes...RAM AH? 😕 THODARUM
