She lived in a mango tree and continues to live. She was fighting with the loneliness, which is paining her a lot.
The day, when she saw the true face of her son, the widow mother was literally broken. She was dismayed with her son's boorish behavior and abusive words.
Once after he started earning, the money he is earning bought him the self pride and ego in him which made him to deliver these words.
Once she decided to part from her son, she got a beautiful house in the mango tree and moved there with her things. She stared at the window which has a bird art. She envied it and started a new life.
She is a bold lady but she was afraid of being alone. Now, she became still more courageous as Raymond Lindquist says courage is the power to let go of the familiar.
