Rekha

Rekha, a young woman in a small town, lives with her parents and has finished her sports school and is preparing for her PSC exams. Rekha is dating Arjun, who works at his father's neighborhood shop. On Arjun's birthday, Arjun texts and video calls her, asking her to stay on the call with his intention of self pleasuring. Rekha tries to go outside to take the phone call, not to wake her family, sees her father is sleeping on the patio because of the hot summer. Arjun sneaks into her house and brings her snacks from the shop. He kisses her and they consummate their relationship. Arjun mentions Rekha's dead puppy and mentions how if the dog was alive, they could not have slept together. Rekha asks Arjun if he had caused its death and agrees to poisoning it. Arjun apologies and they sleep together again, but Rekha is weirded out by his confession. The next morning, Rekha's mother finds Rekha's father dead on the patio. Rekha is suspicious on if Arjun was the cause of this death as well. She tries to get ahold of him after seeing his friends but not him during the funeral, but to no avail. A few days after the death, Rekha finds a cigarette bud in the front yard other than the one Arjun discarded on the night they had slept together. Rekha tries to find his contact from his employer but she learns from him that he is not in town. From his friend, Jayakrishnan, she learns that Arjun left to Kottayam after borrowing 500 Rupees from him.
