Ammu drives to the riverbank and somehow she knows that Velutha will be there. Velutha also knows that ammu will be there. While Velutha was swimming at the river, Ammu arrives and Velutha swims toward her. They make love. Velutha is afaid of the consequences. He is afraid of getting caught making love with Ammu and he will lose everything. He'll lose his job, livelihood, everything. But as they start to make love, Velutha is not afraid anymore. His fears are gone as Velutha feels the love he has for Ammu. He is ready to give away everything for this love. This ending was very something. The two different class loving together, in a class structure society. The book was telling all the terrible tragics, and very lovely ending in the end. It is all those terrible tragics that makes this ending so beautiful and lovely. I enjoyed this book and I think it is very wonderful.
