A poor mother whose husband had left a small piece of land to his wife and child. Which was only support for that mother and child to pass life. Today the time came when she was on her deathbed, she had left a small piece of fertile land to her only son. As the son grew up, he worked diligently on the land, ploughing the soil and sowing the crops, and earned a meagre living through his hard work. Fate added a girl in his deserted life who was a boon to his lonely life. The bond of love was now in the eyes of the society. The boy was very hardworking and the family members of the girl were also fighting against poverty. Both had decided to get married. Her piece of land became the only reason for the girl's family members to agree. Her wish was being fulfilled today. They were bound not only by the bond of love but also by the bond of the land which held great emotional value for the young man.


Their life together was happy, enjoying the success of their love and seeing the fulfilment of the dreams they had cherished. But life, which is always unimaginable, changes things quickly. Today the young man fell seriously ill. When shown to a nearby doctor, the doctor said that he would have to go to the city. It was clear that the disease was serious. There was a lack of money. Days passed. Realizing the weight of his death, the young man shared his last wish with his wife. He said that after she passed away, he wanted her ashes to be placed somewhere in his small piece of land, symbolizing a small stone, because that land was a cherished maternal figure in his life after his mother passed away. Time was over, the young man breathed his last. Months passed without his wife, who was now a widow. Clinging to the memories of the time she spent with her husband at home today, she was consoling herself. Which once gave him a lot of happiness. Today five months have passed. A relation of a rich person had come for him in his house. That person had the thought of marrying a helpless person. The family somehow persuaded the girl.


On the day of her second wedding, the bride was decked up in luxurious clothes that her would-be husband had given her. As the wedding ceremony began with some of the family members, suddenly a wave of deep sorrow ran over her heart. She suddenly got up and ran towards the symbol that was on this small piece of land. Under which were the ashes of her first husband. Now that was the symbol of the unbreakable love of all three of them.

In that poignant moment, she realized that true love is beyond life and death. She couldn't bear to leave behind the memories of their first love, the dreams they shared, and the labour of love they put into that small piece of land. Her heart reminded her that the symbol represented not only the dead youth but the essence of their love that was making her feel like a mother. Of which his family members were not aware. Seeing this scene, the rich man understood the depth of her feelings and her unwavering loyalty to the past. With a heavy heart, she turned back, knowing that nothing could compare with the eternal bond she shared with her first husband and that piece of land.


The widow, however, was deeply moved by the rich man's proposal. But on the other hand, she was comforted by the knowledge that she had experienced true love in her life and that her heart belonged to the rich mind of the poor man. As time passed, she continued to tend the farm, not only harvesting the crops but also cherishing the memories of her beloved, and finding strength in their eternal connection. Years passed, and thus, the legacy of the poor mother and her son which his wife revived with her son.
