Next few  chapters will be  all about Maria's mother Mary Madhavan Nair. Queer name right? Well, there is a reason behind everything. So get ready to know more about Mary and her life.

Born in Mankurushi, To Kalyani and Madhavan Nair, Mary was an intercaste child.  She had a brother, Kuttan who was elder to her, and she has seen love and affection all her life.

She was her father's princess and she was treated like a queen by the people around for the character she was. She grew up seeing love and affection among family. Till....

He came into her life. He was tall and handsome . He was one of  the Policemen. He was Fair , tall , goodlooking and had lots of money . His attitude was charming which made Mary fall for him even more. It all started when we she saw him in the big flood rescue crew. She was taking care of her patients when  Esthappan entered. With a injured man in his arms. 

"  Who is that man?" asked Mary to one of the nurses.

" Dont you know him? 

He is Annamas child"

"Where is he from?" asked Mary

" Sulthan Batheri" came the reply

MEANWHILE

"Who is she? " asked Estha

"Oh she is an intercaste" replied the constable

" I did not ask her relegion, I asked who she was" replied Estha

" Your mother wont be happy with THIS CHOICE sir. " replied the constable

" I dont care im going to marry her anyway". said Estha

MARY'S POV

As I saw his tall stature, I knew he was the one. He had wispy black hair and his smile looked warm. He was that kind of a person who you can trust without a doubt. As I saw him approaching me ... I tripped . He suddenly held me from falling. His strong arms balancing me from falling. His touch was Hypnotising. I could feel him snaking his arms around my waist and lift me up.

I got back to reality when i realized that he was just helping me up.

" Where are you from? " asked Estha.

" Mankurushi" replyed Mary coyly

" Eductional qualification?" asked Estha .

" Passed tenth" Replied Mary.

" How bout further education in Sulthan Batheri?" asked Estha

Mary could see herself blushing. 

she took out a paper and wrote 

" Kalyani, Villa, 

Mankurushi, 

Palakkad PO

Kerala -455 789"

She pressed the paper to Estha's hand and ran inside.

Madhavan Nair came to know about this. He always granted whatever his daughter wanted. Like the same, he was ready to accept him too, but then he wanted to know more about this young man .

As Estha entered  Madhavan Nair got the biggest shock of his life.

"YOU!" yelled Madhavan

"Yes me " said Estha with an evil grin.

Madhavan lowered his voice " Please, not my daughter, You can take my life from me, not my daughter".

"Too late" came the reply

As soon as Mary came out Madhavan Nair said " THIS WEDDING IS NOT HAPPENING"

Colour drained from Mary's face.

" Give me one Reason to forget him, and he is dead to me" said Mary

Madhavan knew that, if he told her who Estha really was, Then she would be shattered.

Instead he said  " Go inside or you wont see the daylights."

Mary went in, Her eyes filled up, her heart broken. looking whistfully at Estha.

                     . Madhavan Nair  realized that His love was just for money, and that the man was tricking his daughter for the same. He did'nt want to break his daughters heart. So he said a FIRM NO to his daughter, Thinking she would accept it..........

YEAR - 1947
PLACE - PALAKKAD, KERALA
TIME : 23:46 PM

Mary packed her beloved belongings and jumped through the window. The thought of her father gave her a sense of hatred toward him

MARIA'S POV

                That moment i looked back at my house, I realized it would be the last time I would stay here, My eyes blurred as the memories started coming in as flash. The thought of leaving Kuttn almost killed me, but I had to go, because I knew i could trust Estha. As I got into the boat Estha gave me a smile and I smiled back. I was excited to be his wife.

Very Soon They reached Esthas home where a telegram was waiting for Mary, Which said

" Father Passed away due to heart attack

Need not come , just so you know, Happy Married life.  - Kuttan"
