‘I like her a lot. I can’t leave her’- Vinu’s eyes fill up when he says this. Vinu has been looking at her like gold for 7 years even though the girl who was to tie the thali got injured in an accident and became weak. He was not ready for another marriage even though he was forced by his own family and locals.
Vinu and Lineesha are natives of Poiya Mathumpadi. After dating for 11 years, they announced their marriage to their family. At first there was some resistance, but eventually both the housemates agreed. After getting engaged in 2016, Linesha’s family members were returning from a pilgrimage to Palani and Velankanni when the vehicle met with an accident. Linesha has been bedridden since then. If you call, you will open your eyes.
Linesha’s father and mother were injured in the accident. When the three were in bed, Vinu took them over. Vinu said seeing Linisha lying down that she can’t tie someone else. Vinu runs the affairs of his own house and Linesha’s house from the income he gets from doing wage work.
He comes to Linisha daily and takes care of her treatment and household needs. Linisha is the daughter of Pandipilli Krishnankutty and Omana. He has been living in a rented house for 3 years as his own house is unlivable. Although included in the Life Housing Scheme, no further action was taken. Linesha’s sister Anisha, a nurse, is also at home taking care of her sister.
