changes. He hugs the child and starts crying in remorse. On seeing the happy reunification of the family, Chellamma feels both joy and pain at the same time. She leaves the house in the night. She arrives at her old home. She fetches a poisonous fruit and eats it deliberately. In her last moment, she feels like her mother is calling her. She tells her mother that she is thirsty. Her mother's sound tells her to fetch a coconut from her 'Chudalathengu' (a coconut tree planted on her mother's grave immediately after the funeral) and drinks the coconut water. She fetches a coconut from the tree using a long stick. While trying to break the coconut, the landlord and his people arrive at the scene and accuse her of theft of coconuts from their property. They start parading her to the police station with the fallen coconut bunch on her head. She collapses and dies thirsty with the coconuts from the chudalathengu scattered around her.
