In the meantime, Navaraj arrives in that place, and also was being waited by his wife for their personal talk. Listening to their personal talk, Manju laughs and Navaraj’s wife asks who they are. Navaraj replies that they’re typist and they are just how they are. Listening that, Savitri turns her mood down. After office, Savitri leaves for home, and at home she cries and hugs her husband.
