Plot
[edit]Vijay is intrigued and attracted by the young hermit who recently came to the village and tries to talk to her to get to know why she chose the life of a hermit at such a young age.
After many attempts, the hermit finally tells him what made her choose this life and also that before she met him she had peace of mind. She used to write love poems before her family forced her to marry an old man and she ran away from her home and became a hermit. Vijay asks her if she can lend her the book of poems she wrote.
She finds her peace of mind wavering due to his existence and his compelling devotion towards her. Eventually she decides to leave the village so that she does not fall prey to the binding emotions that pose a risk to her soul's journey onwards.
Vijay confronts her asking whether by changing the place, her sentiments will change too but to no avail. The hermit implores him to not follow her any further than the tree at the border of the village.
The hermit at the advice of her guru fasts for days at a time to complete her penance. Vijay often times starts to go find her but cannot go beyond the tree remembering her request of him.
One such day someone comes to him to give him a book of love poems. Upon getting it Vijay is extremely happy and wonders if he can go and meet her. He is told that now he can only visit her grave.
