Plot
[edit]Bindu returning home to visit her ailing mother. She carefully gathers flowers to present to her. At the hospital, her mother receives a new doctor, and her father recounts his wife's story to the physician. Menon, the owner of a construction company, is father to Sreekutty. His wife died during childbirth. Sreekutty longs for a mother figure like her peers.
Enter Sheela, Menon's newly appointed personal assistant. Sreekutty and Sheela quickly develop a close bond, with Sreekutty even introducing Sheela as her mother at school on Mother's Day. Witnessing their affectionate relationship, Menon proposes to Sheela. However, she declines, already committed to another engagement. Despite this, Sheela invites Menon and Sreekutty to her wedding.
Events take a dramatic turn when Sreekutty is bitten by their dog, hospitalized with rabies. Sheela rushes back to care for her, postponing her own wedding. Sreekutty eventually recovers under Sheela's devoted care. But upon returning home, she discovers her fiancé has married another woman. Subsequently, Sheela and Menon marry, and the trio enjoy a period of happiness.
However, tensions arise after the birth of Sheela's first child. Sreekutty becomes increasingly envious of the baby's attention. Matters escalate, leading to a heated argument during which Sreekutty flees to Menon's work site and tragically meets her demise.
The aftermath leaves Sheela emotionally and physically debilitated. Years later, Bindu, Menon and Sheela's daughter, bears a striking resemblance to Sreekutty. Returning home from her convent boarding school, Bindu eagerly anticipates reuniting with her mother. Sadly, by the time she arrives, Sheela's condition deteriorates, and she passes away.
