According to research,

just 20 minutes after you quit smoking,

your blood pressure begins to return to normal.

In a few days,

nicotine levels in your body drop significantly.

And within a year,

your risk of heart disease reduces dramatically.

But since you haven’t quit smoking yet,

you’re still at risk of a heart attack.

Bidi and cigarettes are injurious to life.

Stop smoking today!

Isn’t it beautiful?

The Indian siris tree.

Yes, absolutely stunning.

Kamala

a free spirit who finds happiness

in her own way.

How do you know my name?

This is your rebirth.

The love you couldn’t complete in your past life

is continuing now.

I can see your past life too.

But, sadly,

in this lifetime either,

it seems your love story won’t find its conclusion.

From my heart’s deep core,

I once held you close, love embraced,

Through a magic door,

Seeking the death,

I walked a solitary path.

The night, the moon,

and the dreams you gave me,

dissolved in the twilight.

As twilight descended,

your scent filled the room.

Your image appeared,

waiting for my heart to take flight.

A tear fell from my eye,

like a celestial droplet.

From my heart’s deep core,

I once held you close, love embraced,

Through a magic door,

As the downpour continues,

I close my eyes.

Your scent fills my burning body with longing.

From my heart’s deep core,

I once held you close, love embraced,

Through a magic door,

Seeking the death,

I walked a solitary path.

The night, the moon,

and the dreams you gave me,

dissolved in the twilight.

Kamala.

Dear Kamala.

[coughing]

[whooping]

Kamala!

[Coughing]

[nauseating]

[spitting]

Dear Kamala...

Kamala...

Where is she?

Child...

Child...

Such an irritating person!

Kamala...

[coughing]

This is the tenth time since morning.

Even though she’s ill, she never stops eating!

All my time is wasted cleaning her mess.

My life feels wasted in this good-for-nothing house.

What are you mumbling, child?

She has an eating disorder.

[nauseating]

Child!

Child! I’m hungry.

Haven’t I only had a little porridge in the morning?

Isn’t porridge food?

It’s because it tastes bland!

Listen,

I can’t keep working like this all day!

Child, give me something to eat.

I feel uncomfortable.

It’s better you eat less;

I can’t be nursing you all day.

Even death doesn’t want her!

Kamala,

what are your plans for today?

Just one chore after another!

Kamala,

Alright.

I have work to do.

You people always come here!

No matter how many dishes I wash,

there are always more left to do.

[Coughing]

I haven’t bathed or washed my clothes yet.

When will I do all that?

I should just run away somewhere.

Even if I had ten pairs of hands and legs,

I wouldn’t finish them.

Mom!

Even if my back is broken,

I’ll still have to work like a snail crawling on the floor.

Kamala!

Yes?

Aren’t you going to Chengannur?

Yes.

Then take me with you.

I don’t even get time to sit.

I have to be quick

since no one else is here to take care of mom.

That’s true.

What fish did you get for curry?

Red snapper.

I thought I’d make a chutney with it.

I have leftovers from yesterday.

I thought I’d manage with that today.

Let me go check

the fish is on the stove.

Kamala,

just a minute.

Do you have a sanitary pad?

Yes, I do.

I’m on my period.

Didn’t realize it was my date already.

Can you give me one?

Alright, give me a minute.

Don’t look at the clock.

Sometimes you’ll get lunch at 3 or 4 PM.

There are no maids to help.

Even when I give it on time, she mutters.

It’s too spicy, child!

You’re the one who said you felt like puking

because there wasn’t anything spicy to eat.

Child, it seems I can’t say anything to you.

Don’t say it, then.

If you can’t stay healthy,

you should die

instead of troubling others by being bedridden!

Enough.

Water.

Here.

She goes crazy after eating food.

Moonlit steps of the soul,

searching for the unknown

Moonlit steps of the soul,

searching for the unknown

On that fateful night,

beneath the moonlit stair,

Your roots entwined with mine,

a love so bright.

In bodies joined,

our souls did intertwine.

Moonlit steps of the soul,

searching for the unknown

You sprinkled stardust on my dreams, a fragrant,

fleeting trace,

silvered and serene,

a lover's gentle grace,

kissed my cheek with moonlight,

We slept,

entwined beneath the lunar glow,

on ancient stone,

Lovers in the night,

our joined shadows,

lost their sleep.

Your roots entwined with mine,

a love so bright.

In bodies joined,

our souls did intertwine.

Moonlit steps of the soul,

searching for the unknown

This anklet, a bond,

I offer to you,

To wear as we dance beneath the midnight blue.

This anklet, a bond,

I offer to you,

To wear as we dance beneath the midnight blue.

As you journey on,

let my form be traced,

Upon your heart,

forever embraced.

[phone ringing]

Yes, tell me.

No need to be happy about it that way.

Don't keep me waiting.

You can finish such work at the office.

Seems like it's going to rain.

The wind is strong too.

I need to bring the clothes in from outside.

Alright, I’ll leave now.

Where have you reached?

Alright, come soon.

Okay.

[thunder rumbling]

The thunder is really heavy.

[thunder rumbling]

What perfect timing!

My goodness

I felt you arrived.

Yes, my dear.

I’ve arrived.

You’re all wet.

Here are the books you asked for.

Freshen up

Come

Let’s go get drenched in the rain.

Not now, Jayakrishnan.

I’m neither in the mood to be your Clara

nor to get wet in the rain.

You smell. Go shower.

Hey,

Are we having a candlelight dinner?

The power went out, so I lit a candle.

Alright

Thieves like darkness, right?

Consider this my small contribution.

If it weren't for your sharp tongue,

you'd be in trouble.

Whatever it is,

nothing's going to happen without my consent.

Is the fish curry too spicy?

It's cool.

Damn, I'm sorry.

Did you go to the loo?

Is it really important for you to know that?

Come on, it's a normal question.

Frost-kissed marigold buds of love,

waiting to bloom in the morning's tender embrace.

Have you finished those lines?

No,

I'm only halfway through.

Give it to me;

let me read.

No,

it's not complete.

Come on, let me see.

No.

Give it.

No.

Give it.

Leave it.

Leave it.

Damn, wait!

Frost-kissed marigold buds of love,

waiting to bloom in the morning's tender embrace.

Snowflakes, scattered like pearls from a broken necklace,

mingle with my anxious gasps.

Leaves move like breaths intertwining

A solitary tear, falling,

evaporates in the fever of your madness,

only to return as rain.

It's turning out really well.

But according to the situation you mentioned,

it needs more love in it.

I'll try...

Alright

I feel like having a drink.

Don't you have anything in stock,

you alcoholic?

The bar will close soon,

come quickly.

You have to pay me for coming along

one beer.

Alright, deal.

I'll have beer too.

[Humming]

Got it, got it.

[car stereo]

[engine starts]

Shall I have you for sides?

Naughty.

Shall we drive until sunrise?

Stop, I'll drive.

The time now is 10 PM.

You're listening to

Love

Travel

with me, Saju.

One for the drive.

As we sit watching the raindrops kiss the earth,

sweet thoughts bloom within us.

As the rain embraces us,

we become flowers damaged by it.

When you insist you need my warmth,

I kiss away the last raindrop from your lips.

The stars descend slowly to the earth,

Then you hold me tight,

and as we kiss deeper...

Keep giving it to me,

kiss as sweet as honey

Here’s your first song.

Feels like it's made just for us.

I crave a kiss as sweet as honey,

a gentle touch that envelops my entire being.

I crave a kiss as sweet as honey,

a gentle touch that envelops my entire being.

With lips dripping sweet nectar,

I yearn for a moment of pure bliss.

a gentle touch that envelops my entire being.

As sweet as honey

As sweet as honey

We'll be boats adrift in the rain,

our fingers intertwined.

We'll be boats adrift in the rain,

our fingers intertwined.

Let's steal away to a secret place,

and taste each other's sweetness like candy.

taste your sweetness like candy.

Amongst the starless night,

no celestial body shines as brightly as your smile.

No spring blooms as fragrant as you.

I crave a kiss as sweet as honey,

a gentle touch that envelops my entire being.

With lips dripping sweet nectar,

I yearn for a moment of pure bliss.

a gentle touch that envelops my entire being.

As sweet as honey

As sweet as honey

I crave a kiss as sweet as honey,

a gentle touch that envelops my entire being.

Crazy woman...

Hey

Yes!

I feel like screaming out loud.

Do hens scream?

[Screaming]

Get up, Mr. Publisher!

Get up, it's time.

Get up.

Hey!

I'll be coming around noon;

I have a surprise for you.

What is it?

Then I'll go meet Mukundan Sir

and later head to the academy.

Aren't you going to the office in the morning?

I need to meet Beniamin at Pandalam first.

Then I'll head to the office

and come here.

Alright, be early

I'm excited to know the surprise.

[Phone ringing]

Did anyone see you leaving?

You said you'd come at noon with a surprise.

Avoid coming here frequently.

I'm saying this out of fear.

Alright,

let me know once you reach there.

Take care.

On the bed of waning night,

I've strewn

A sky replete with nascent emotions.

On the bed of waning night,

I've strewn

A sky replete with nascent emotions.

You softly stole

the feelings I held dear.

Pleasure sparkled

Pleasure sparkled

in the corner of my eye.

On the bed of waning night,

I've strewn

A sky replete with nascent emotions.

On your wings,

my love,

I've traveled new paths.

On your wings,

my love,

I've traveled new paths.

The moonlit moments you savored,

now sweet memories

On the bed of waning night,

I've strewn

A sky replete with nascent emotions.

Your word,

a lullaby,

a gentle wave,

carried me to peace.

In your embrace,

I'll sleep through the ages,

my face against your heart.

On the bed of waning night,

I've strewn

A sky replete with nascent emotions.

Kamala...

Come here.

[distant train sound]

Aren't you awake?

Isn't it just 9 AM?

Child...

This old hag is killing my patience.

[coughing]

[coughing]

She doesn’t stop once she starts.

Isn't it because I'm unwell, my child?

I've been wanting to pee for the past hours.

Child, if I were fit, would I be disturbing you?

I'm fed up because of her.

God,

she doesn't give me peace.

What do you want?

You should have just died

instead of being bedridden.

Dear child

pray for me to die.

Even for that, I have to pray, right?

Kamala,

You've become very weak.

Sita, it's because she's working day and night.

To be honest,

whether it's dad or mom,

if they get bedridden,

it's going to be tough for us children.

I concur.

Some people die early when they fall sick;

they don't trouble others.

But her case is different.

[laughs]

If I fall sick,

there will be no one to take care of me.

Here it is.

Finished?

Yes.

Shall we leave?

Alright.

We are leaving.

Okay.

We are going.

Okay.

[Cat fighting]

Don't be fixated

get up!

Open your mouth;

I have a lot of work to do.

Rice would have been better.

Don't be stubborn.

Child,

please connect me to Sreejith via phone,

can you?

What happened?

Suddenly you care for your son?

I feel like staying with him for a few days.

Will he take care of you for more than a day?

You're unfit.

You're acting as if they'll take care of you like a child.

Such a waste.

[crying]

[Sobbing]

God...

[Birds chirping]

[phone ringing]

It was a heart attack.

[Not answering]

Child...

my child...

She likes books, not flowers.

Here's the surprise I told you about.

Child...

My dear child...

Child...

my dear child...

[Prayer song]

Mom...

Mom...

Are you awake early, child?

I wasn't able to sleep properly, Mom.

I just slept for a while,

but this dream woke me up.

It's fine,

sleep a little more.

I dreamt about Jayakrishnan, Mom.

Do you still keep thinking about him?

Isn't he the reason for your situation?

It's been a year since his death.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

Mom...

What, child?

Give me a kiss, Mom.

Go play,

but don't fall while running.

It's my brother's child.

Have you had sex?

Have you?

No.

That's a lie.

I did with my husband once;

after that,

all my expectations

and imaginations ended there.

I don't get it.

Yes,

a marriage that lasted just one day.

I had asked my family to tell you,

but even if they didn’t, I can't hide it.

You're straightforward;

I like it.

It's raining, let's get inside.

I have another matrimonial visit today.

It's a second marriage,

and I need money.

A second marriage doesn't matter;

The first might have happened, unfortunately.

See,

money is my need

the rest is secondary.

Go shake hands.

All the best.

I'm not interested in marriage

I hate men.

All they care about is undressing women

rather than respecting them, bloody losers.

Living alone is better.

I can spend my time writing or reading.

Full freedom

Don't be mad at what I asked earlier.

I couldn't believe a woman in her forties

could still be a virgin.

That's why I asked.

Forgive me

I would've given you a different answer

if it weren't our first meeting.

Isn't it the same for men?

Do you write?

Your house is full of books.

Even though I'm a publisher,

my mind travels through stories.

Occasionally, I scribble down thoughts

for my own pleasure.

Alright, find pleasure in doing that.

Thank you!

It's been many days and nights

since you came to me,

and it has been one year of loneliness for me.

The gifts you gave hold your thoughts and soul now.

[Phone ringing]

[Phone ringing]

[Phone ringing]

Son,

How did things turn out?

Is the meeting over?

It's over, Mom.

When are you returning?

Mom...

What happened, son?

Do you want to say something?

Mom,

Will you be worried if I say something?

That depends.

Just say it.

Mom...

I got married.

Are you drunk or high?

Listen son,

I won't bother asking about your marriage

I'm just concerned about your future.

Just remember, you're over forty.

I'd be happy even if you bring someone home.

I'm serious, Mom.

I found my partner.

You know I'm not interested in big functions.

Mom, we're coming there

you should bless us.

Are you for real?

Then I'm happy.

Bring her soon.

Is she from our caste?

Is she fair?

[laughs]

I know how good your choice will be.

Anyways, I am really thrilled my son.

Come soon, I'm excited!

Alright Mom.

Lord Krishna,

after my husband passed away,

my son and I have no one else.

He was never interested in marriage,

but now he has changed.

Though I couldn't celebrate it,

I'm grateful he has changed.

Take care of them, my Lord.

Where are you, son?

Have you started?

Dear little one,

come near me,

Your mother's lap is waiting for you.

Dear little one,

come near me,

Your mother's lap is waiting for you.

My soul danced Thiruvathira

and also sparkles like a stone lamp

and breathe in joy.

Dear little one,

come near me,

Your mother's lap is waiting for you.

The wind fondled into beautiful beats,

And silence flew away like a firebird.

The sky's silver blossom slowly sways,

The heavens melt into a creamy haze.

Twilight whispers secrets, just you and me,

beyond mother's heart unaware.

mother's heart unaware.

Dear little one,

come near me,

Your mother's lap is waiting for you.

I'll give you kisses that smell of sandal,

As you lay on my lap, falling asleep.

The child's gaze met mother's eyes,

and her heart danced with ecstatic surprise.

and her heart danced with ecstatic surprise.

Dear little one,

come near me,

Your mother's lap is waiting for you.

My soul danced Thiruvathira

and also sparkles like a stone lamp

and breathe in joy.

Dear little one,

come near me,

Your mother's lap is waiting for you.

Your mother's lap is waiting for you.

This was my son's gift last Vishu.

I'll wear it today.

My son's responsibilities increase from today.

[Phone ringing]

Where have you reached, Kanna?

No, son,

I'm still getting ready.

We'll talk about everything once you reach here.

It's been too long.

When is 'Rahu Kalam' today? (inauspicious time)

Kanna, wait

Mom will come now.

He is happy.

Lord Guruvayoorappa, take care of them.

Youbrought friends as witnesses, right?

Kanna,

call her.

Where is she?

You were fooling me, right?

Where is she?

Mom,

we got married.

you know I don't like any woman other than you.

Also,

Mom,

it's a decision we made mutually.

You should bless us.

Mom,

Mom,

Mom,

Get lost!

[sobbing]

What happened, Mom?

Why are you crying?

What happened?

I dreamt about Kannan...

The first and

last time

I slapped him was the day you came here.

He brings you here on that day.

He showed me your brother and fooled me.

I had already told him

that you wouldn't be able to bear it...

And not to fool you.

Chapter 3

I wander the paths you last trod.

Our shared moments linger,

like shadows

Lost in time,

we sat alone,

our fingers tracing the petals of a hibiscus blossom.

Slowly,

we counted each step along the way,

the gardens where we used to play hide-and-seek,

echoing with the murmur of water.

still wait for you,

I wander the paths you last trod.

As the autumn rain poured,

downpour

As the autumn rain poured,

I awoke,

longing for your tender embrace.

The image of you behind

the red brick wall remains,

As daylight fades,

I yearn to walk these paths again with you.

Lost in time,

Lost in time,

we sat alone,

our fingers tracing the petals of a hibiscus blossom.

I welcome you all.

It is the rainy season

where hearts intertwine

and souls ache from untimely partings,

on this rare evening.

A warm welcome to all who have joined us.

[Applauding]

Aah Books' creative editor,

author,

Jayakrishnan Sankaramangalam's remembrance,

and the book's publication ceremony featuring

our beloved author Kamala

are all taking place today.

All our guests have arrived.

To deliver the welcome speech,

I now invite Jayakrishnan's wife,

the renowned psychologist Janaki

[claps]

Dear ones,

I have always believed in God.

Whenever I prayed

and performed rituals,

My only wish was

for my loved ones to have a long and healthy life.

However,

after a year of crushed hopes

and a life devoid of color,

a year of loss.

Has made me question everything.

The loss of the one whose breath I could hear,

the one who filled my life,

Has left me empty.

I am a widow now,

And his absence has turned my life into a living hell.

It's been a year since those memories.

This place bears witness to Aah Books

And to Jayakrishnan's dream coming true.

But the journey came to a halt over the past year.

We are now trying to do what Jayakrishnan

would have done had he been alive.

If he were here,

Kamala's book would have been

published long ago.

He passed away during that journey,

And Kamala was a part of it too.

Kamala has been revived.

Kamala,

Kamala,

was my husband's lover.

It was in the hospital,

Jayakrishnan first mentioned Kamala to me.

on his deathbed,

[Applauding]

Our distinguished guest,

Minister of Cinema and Culture

Shri Chandra Chudan,

is now invited to grace the occasion

of Jayakrishnan's memorial and book release.

Dear ones,

Jayakrishnan was not just close to you all

He was dear to me as well.

We never discussed politics,

Only new books and ideas.

He was brilliant at writing stories

But never published them as books.

I hope Kamala's stories reach more readers.

Also,

I pray for Kamala’s health

Jayakrishnan’s memory will always stay with us.

It’s hard to believe it's been a year since his passing.

He had mentioned this book to me,

and he is traveling for it.

And later,

I heard about his passing.

My support will always be with his family.

I cannot say much now

His memory is too dear.

Thank you.

[Applauding]

Join us as we celebrate the launch of Kamala's book.

[Applauding]

Let us now welcome Kamala

To share her thoughts.

Dear people,

Your love has brought me here,

And my heart is full.

I am facing difficult times,

Haunted by memories

that render me speechless.

In my life,

something was hidden from everyone's view,

But now, revealed to all,

I feel a strange, new truth.

And like a bird that's flown the coop,

I'm free to rejoice.

However,

I still need support to move forward.

Only my dreams roam freely,

without boundaries.

My only companions through sleepless nights

were dreams.

Even when awake, I dream.

Many of your faces

have appeared in my dreams,

In different forms and emotions.

Dear ones,

I am indebted to all of you

For bringing me here today.

This lifetime is not enough to repay that debt.

I must acknowledge the love

That cared for me during my worst times

who nursed me like a child,

My mother.

And through my darkest mental struggles.

who stood by me,

Jayakrishnan,

It was his love that changed everything.

He read all my writings.

I thought he took this book to read as usual

I never imagined he would publish it.

He never hinted this to me

His loss shattered me.

I didn't even know he had passed away

[sobbing]

I was in a coma for 52 days.

[sobbing]

child

[sobbing]

I seek forgiveness

From Janaki and his mother.

[sobbing]

His presence is still here,

He, who yearned for eternity on this earth,

He does not want to go anywhere else.

[sobbing]

dear child

[crying]

child

[crying]

Now, let us listen to a poem by Kamala,

Recited by Annapoorna.

As the downpour continues,

I close my eyes.

Your scent fills my burning body with longing.

From my heart’s deep core,

I once held you close, love embraced,

Through a magic door,

Seeking the death,

I walked a solitary path.

The night, the moon,

and the dreams you gave me,

dissolved in the twilight.

What happened?

What happened?

Child...

Child...

Child...

Kamala...

Child...

Child...

[crying]

Child...

Child...

Child...

Child...

[crying]

My dear child...

[crying]

[phone ringing]

Yes, Janaki?

I drifted into a small slumber,

Thinking of the wonderful things

You have planned for me tomorrow.

Oh, did you dream?

Before I die,

It should be recorded

Even I lived here.

I can't die like this.

Wake up
