Third person POV :
They lived happily for almost 3 years but due to Nishanthi's dad's broken back he could not do any job properly, they started going broke and they didn't even had food to eat, then one day Nishanthi's mom and dad got into a huge fight and their mom left the house, their dad went to follow her and to bring her back home but Nishanthi and her siblings were alone at home with no food.
Anoma decided to call their grandparents since no one was there to take care of her and her siblings but their grandparents are so old and unable to do any job. Anoma can't wait and see her siblings starving especially her youngest brother who still drinks milk so she went in search of a job, she found a job and took it, she have to take huge boulders and break them into small pieces and sell them.
Meanwhile Nishanthi and her grandfather( a herbal snake bite doctor) would travel by foot without shoes (since they cannot afford it) to cure anyone with a dangerous snake bite. Her grandfather would cure the villagers but will never ask for money or anything else in return unless they give something to him willing which they do such as 1kg rice or a little money etc. then they go back home and eat what they get and survived.
