After a while, Vasudev awakens and find himself in a dark room where he finds a table, on top of which is a mysterious clock, which he finds both eerie and somewhat interesting due to the symbols etched on it. After some time, the boss enters the room and starts interrogating Vasudev about some letter that he read which was directed to someone named Abin Shaik, but Vasudev denies any knowledge of the said so and the boss reassures Vasudev that the clock will make him talk as it is a hypnotic device. The device starts its work, prompting Vasudev to dwell into his past.The story goes up and down, showcasing Vasudev's childhood in an orphanage and growth, which makes him interested in reading others' letters in order to find affections of different relations. Due to his quirk, he decides to go to a village named Krishnagiri to become a postman and live among his favorite letters.
