"This is what happened to your daughter, T.C., your daughter has completely ruined the good name our school has earned for so many years. As far as our school is concerned, discipline is more important than studies. We were so proud when your daughter came first in the state in 10th... but now.... oh boy" shouted the Principal of that school.
Another teacher said, "What is the use of studying well? Don't you have good manners?" He scolded Mullai's parents, but they just stood there and nodded.
The principal said, "The hospital and all the doctors told me to inform the police. I don't want it, we stopped it by saying that it would ruin the little girl's life. But she can't be brought here anymore. Take your daughter and go now," and when he said that, all the anger of those who came out with their heads bowed and turned on Mullai who was the cause of this.
Seeing Mullai sitting on the bench outside with her head spinning in shock, Renuka, furious, quickly grabbed her hair and lifted her up in a bunch. "You crazy girl, if we send you to study, are you here looking for children?" She slapped her on the cheek and dragged her by the hair on the street.
Mullai couldn't bear the pain and kept moaning in pain, "Let me go. It hurts... Oh my." The people who had dragged her straight to their house started beating her on the street.
She cried out in pain. Hearing their noise, the people living in that street gathered there. Without paying attention to them, they beat her like a dog.
Hearing her screams, her mother, who was inside the house, came running out. Seeing Mullai being beaten, she was shocked and stood in front of Mullai, shouting, "Oh, why are you beating my granddaughter? Leave her alone."
The people who stopped beating her said, "Oh, everything is just a favor you give her. That's why she got fat and sent her to study. She left her job and went to the village to buy a baby in her stomach." It was only right for her to scream and for her relatives to come there.
The people who had already heard that Mullai was pregnant, and when they saw Mullai there, they beat her up for their share. Mullai's aunt Amuda kicked and kicked Mullai, saying, "You unruly donkey, you sprouted three leaves. Can an amla tree be happy inside that? You have done such a shameful thing and taken away our family's honor."
No one stopped her there. Everyone was angry with her. At that moment, Mullai's mother shouted, "Why are you beating her like this? She is a little girl. If her mother were alive now, would you beat her like this?"
To this, Mullai's aunt, i.e. Chakravarthy's younger sister Latha, said sarcastically, "She will tell her child like her mother. She is also like her mother. How her mother got spoiled with another man and dumped her, she must have done the same thing."
Hearing what she said, Mullai looked at her in shock. She said, "I thought you were a good girl. Even if I was angry with your mother, I would not show it to you. Here is my son Velu, he told me yesterday that he liked you. I thought that he liked me too, so I would give you to him."
"But you are a little wall, you do not deserve to even look at his face," she said, and left without looking back at her. Mullai was born to Chakravarthy's first wife, Bhuvana. Chakravarthy married his boss's daughter Bhuvana for money.
But Bhuvana did not like Chakravarthy. So she did not start living with him. After two months, Bhuvana suddenly became pregnant, and Chakravarthy became suspicious of her. The reason was that he had not even touched her. How could she be pregnant? Who was the father of her child? He beat her and questioned her.
But Bhuvana did not open her mouth. When everyone in the house came to know about this, they also questioned her. Even then, she did not tell. They hid it from others, thinking that it would be a loss of honor. Months passed, one day Bhuvana had labor pains, took the mullai and took it, and then left her life.
After that, Renuka was married to Chakravarthy as a second wife. From that day to this day, no one likes mullai. But her mother-in-law was the one who loved her the most. Whenever everyone in the house mistreated her, he was the one who saved her. And now, he was standing by Mullai's side.
Seeing Velu and his mother leaving, Mullai hurriedly got up and went to him, held his hand and asked, "Uncle, don't you trust me too? I haven't done anything wrong?" with pity. But he quickly slapped her hand away.
"Hey! Take my hand, I thought you were so good, I was angry with you because I thought you would be obedient to the family. But
You are evil... you are ugly... good job... do you even know about yourself now? "It's good until then," he said, and his mother left after him.
Shouldn't we just leave Mullai, who had broken down and stood there, buried in the ground? She was thinking. If they were to treat her kindly, it would be her mother, and next to her, this Velu. But now, the pain that she couldn't describe squeezed her heart and she just knelt down on the spot and sat down.
While everyone around her was angry, only one of them was watching her pain. It was none other than Mullai's younger sister, Vinitha. She didn't like Mullai at all. The reason was that Mullai studied better than her and was more talented.
Another thing was that she liked Velu a lot. But he came around Mullai. In that, all her hatred turned towards her. She was a year older than Mullai. She was arrogant. Sakthi, who was standing next to her, was born with Vinitha. That is, they The twins, he stood too high. He wouldn't say anything to Mullai.
Shakti was born to Vinita Chakravarthy's second wife Renuka. As soon as they were born, Renuka had created a feeling of hatred in her mind by speaking badly about Mullai. That's why those who were distant from her, completely hated her because of the disgusting act she had done today.
Then a woman from the crowd ran quickly and asked, "Mullai, what happened to you?" Before she could get there, her mother, who came from behind her, said, "Oh! She doesn't even talk, she is immoral. If you join her, you will be in trouble." and dragged her away.
Mullai looked at her in shock. It was Mullai's friend Divya. Since Mullai was a good student, Divya's mother asked her, "Oh, Mullai, can you teach my daughter too?" "Let her study like you," he asked one day.
She also said, "If I don't tell you, who else will tell you? I'll take care of it. You don't have to, she'll pass this exam," and when she said that, she thanked him several times and left. Today, seeing her talking badly about herself, Mullai was completely broken. She couldn't even lift her head due to shame.
She was praying to God that she wouldn't die. While all the neighbors were talking badly about her, at that time her uncle said, "A month ago, someone came and said about you, I don't believe you. You go to the pub and make fun of people. But it seems like it's true."
At that moment, Ammachi got up angrily and said, "Hey, don't mince your words. She won't go there for anything. "She's up..." he started and started telling the truth, where would we get stuck? The emperor, who was afraid, quickly grabbed the mullai hair and lifted it up, "Saniyan, have you started going to Pappu somewhere else? You..." he shouted and dragged her into the house.
Ammachi panicked, and when she followed, Chakravarthy took a piece of wood from the stove and warmed both of Mullai's hands. That was all Mullai's screams could be heard throughout the street. Her ammachi shouted, "Oh, my granddaughter, don't leave me."
But Chakravarthy pushed her into a room and left. Everyone looked at her with disdain, and did not intercede for her. That day ended and night came. Till then, Mullai had not even been given water to drink. Ammachi went to the kitchen to bring water.
On the way, he heard a noise and stopped there and looked. Chakravarthy was talking to Renuka. "It is not good for us if she is alive. If she tells me the truth, we will be in danger. If she doesn't speak, she will be poisoned. Let her die. "If anyone asks, you can say that you committed suicide because you couldn't bear the shame. Everyone will believe it because you knew it was wrong to do that," he said.
"Okay, that's what I was thinking too. "Let's finish the work right now," she said, coming to the kitchen. Immediately, Ammachi hid in a hidden place there. When Renuka left, she quickly went to Mullai's room and sat quietly without saying anything to her.
In a short while, Renuka brought the poisoned food and gave it to Mullai, saying, "Eat properly, otherwise the people will talk about us as if we are torturing you," and then left. She knew that if she forced her to eat the food, Mullai would definitely become suspicious of her.
Ammachi, who had been waiting for that, threw the food out the window. Mullai did not notice any of that. She was staring at something. But her Ammachi, who had gone to her room and taken the necessary things like jewelry, money, some securities, and clothes that she had saved for Mullai. When everyone in the house was asleep, she took Mullai and left the place.
