Summary
Ambi's father, Vembu Iyer, revered for his knowledge in Vedic studies, is now ill, having only his memories to accompany him. The state of his father is a shock to Ambi. The two fell out over Ambi's love and subsequent marriage to Christian girl in Delhi. Before his marriage to Janaki, Vembu Iyer intensely loved Avayam, much to the anger and disapproval of his mother. Eventually, Avayam and Vembu separated because of the pressure. Beginning to understand the guild might be a reason why his father has retreated into silence, Ambi suggests bringing Avayam to the house. Janaki is upset by the proposition, becoming frustrated at the prospect of sharing her husband with another women.
