His father sends him to Senarath Maliyadde in order to get a job in his company. Senarath Maliyadde who lives in Nugegoda is a rich businessman and also a good friend of Dhanuka's father.

As discussed early Dhanuka comes to Maliyadde's home travelling hours by bus and facing tough situation on his way. After Dhanuka reached he knocks on the gate by mistakenly not seen the bell. Sansala comes to see who is out there. She starts to question him and blame him. But Dhanuka freezes by seen Sansala and he observes her from toe to head. He falls in love with her from the first sight. As Maliyadde is not at home, no one at home recognises Dhanuka as so and so's son. So they keep him at the gate and unfortunately a heavy rain starts to fall in the evening. Being a stranger to Colombo, Dhanuka is helplessly got wet by the rain. He fails to protect his travelling bag so all his cloths get soaked. Meanwhile Maliyadde comes home on his car and sees Dhanuka. He brings Dhanuka into his home. This is how the story starts.
