However, her actions of taking flowers from a neighbor's garden lead to anger and frustration. Nilu's mother, Jobeda, expresses her disappointment by cutting down the beloved flower trees, resulting in a painful altercation that leaves Nilu bruised and longing for a brighter future. As time passes, Nilu grows older, but her yearning for her brother, Rasu, and her cherished childhood memories remain strong. Despite the passage of years, Nilu never loses hope that her brother will return, eagerly waiting for his arrival at the train station. The fleeting glimpses of the train and the faces peering from the windows only intensify her longing. Eventually, Rasu does return, and their reunion is filled with tears of joy and shared memories.
