Immediately the mother comes cooing to Rohini, calling her darling and dear, kissing her, etc. Rohini too seeks her forgiveness for taking Arivu away from the family. Arivu's mother then proposes making chicken biryani, but a look from her husband, and in deference to Rohini's preferences, changes it to vadai and payasam.
