He loses to Lily Fernandes, a modest daughter of a nurse in a private nursing home. Arun takes this as a defeat, and decides to nurse a personal vendetta to try and crush Lily's growing popularity in school. Lily, however, tolerates him and his friends' remarks and sarcasm as she bears no grudge against him.
As time goes on, they gradually discover the basic qualities of each other, and become admirers. They visit beautiful places together on weekends to get to know each other better. Lily's mother is the first person to notice the love blossoming between her daughter and Arun. She is worried, because even though Arun is madly in love with her daughter, she fears the consequences of their social status differences. Despite this, Arun's father approves and presents a proposal to Lily's mother to allow their children to marry.
When everything is going well, Lily falls ill and is discovered to have leukemia. Even though Lily and Arun act as if nothing was wrong, everyone tries to save her. Everything seems fine for a while, but Lily's condition grows worse. She dies in Arun's arms, leaving him devastated. Arun goes to same college where they studied, and mourns for Lily.
