Avneesh is deeply infatuated with the girl he's nicknamed "Mrityu" ("Death") but he has trouble working up the courage to talk to her, so he asks Bantu to pass her a message. As Bantu becomes the go-between for the two would-be lovers, he learns to appreciate "Mrityu"'s beauty and grace, and he begins to share his friend's infatuation with her.
