A certain defensiveness. Nayan is powerfully drawn to her, though he doesn't quite know why. He hasn't risked love since he lost his young family in a terrible accident 20 years before. All his energy has gone into work at the union, trying to make the world better, fairer, as he sees it, as he would have wanted it for his son, and he's now running for the leadership against accomplished newcomer, Megha. It's a huge moment for Nayan, the culmination of everything he believes. But as he grows closer to Helen, and to the possibility that their pasts may have been connected, much more is suddenly threatened than his chances of winning.
