Geetha eventually comes to Bangalore, Arya's hometown, for her studies. She quickly finds out that Arya lives in there and they spend a lot of time together, with her sharing everything with him. She tells him that she is not interested in a relationship with him. Arya loves her, but in fear of rejection , doesn't reveal his love. Later they get into an argument, with Arya revealing his love for her and being frustrated on her not having a clarity on her life and that she keeps waiting for a prince and doesn't realize what she has.
